Chapter 182
"Isn't it your eldest daughter's fault?"
Mother Lin was so angry that she was panting and tears were falling. "If you don't like it, why don't you just say so earlier? Wouldn't it be fine if you gave it to Jin'er? Wouldn't it be fine?"
"Madam! Are you crazy?" Father Lin covered his face and glared at her angrily.
He didn't want to make a fool of himself in public, nor did he want to irritate Lin's mother, so after shouting loudly, he quickly softened his tone and coaxed her.
"Stop it, ma'am."
However, Lin's mother did not seem to understand the hint in her husband's eyes, and instead intensified her behavior.
"What's wrong with what I said? It's a good thing that Baili Shun died! It's also a good thing that your eldest daughter, that unlucky star, died!"
"When they die, they go to the underworld as pairs. Let the King of Hell bring my Jin'er back in exchange!"
Lin Yueyao cried heartbrokenly and spoke without restraint, not even realizing that she was the center of attention.
Sure enough, someone recognized her.
"Hey? Isn't this Mrs. Lin?"
A lady wearing a white fox fur cloak and gorgeous clothes came in front of Lin's father and mother with the help of a maid, and looked at Lin Yueyao with a mocking look.
"Are you going to see your son-in-law?" Although the woman was smiling, her words were implicitly mocking the Lin family's current fall from grace.
"What a pity. Both daughters were sacrificed and nothing good came out of it. Now even the new high branch is gone. Tsk tsk~"
"Why is Madam Qian so mean?" Father Lin's eyes were gloomy. "He has nothing to do with our Lin family!"
"That's okay!"
"If there is still a connection, if the court finds out, won't you and your wife be implicated as well?"
Mrs. Qian's sarcastic remarks caused the passers-by to burst into laughter. They all remembered the well-known and grand wedding ceremony half a year ago.
I also recalled the sensational bride exchange incident.
Although Baili Shun tried his best to suppress it at that time, there is no wall that is impenetrable and no secret that can’t be revealed.
Mother Lin knew that Madam Qian came here on purpose to humiliate her, just because her daughter had also fallen in love with Baili Shun back then.
Unfortunately, no matter how coquettishly her daughter acted in front of the other party, Baili Shun just ignored her.
Instead, he took a fancy to the non-competitive Lin Ruofan, and by some strange coincidence, he welcomed Lin Ruojin into the bridal chamber.
Who doesn't know that the day before Baili Shun's wedding, her daughter cried bitterly in front of Tianshui Tower, and insisted on becoming someone else's concubine, and was finally beaten back home with sticks?
She was venting her anger on behalf of her disgraceful daughter!
Lin Yueyao was already angry and lost her rationality at this moment.
She rushed forward, grabbed Mrs. Qian's collar fiercely, and slapped her face, which was covered with thick makeup, left and right.
"Ah! Madam!" The maid was startled and rushed forward to stop her, but was accidentally kicked down by Madam Qian who resisted in a rage.
Since Mr. Lin is a man, it is not easy for him to get involved.
He was like an ant on a hot pan. He could only persuade with his mouth but could not help in any other way.
The two women pulled each other's hair, punched and slapped each other, and the fight was inseparable.
"Bitch! Say it again if you dare!"
"Just say it, your two daughters are nothing to show for it!"
"Your woman rushed to be someone's concubine, and in the end she was beaten all the way home by the other person's servants. Have you forgotten that?"
Mrs. Qian felt hurt and endured the pain in her scalp while cursing back viciously.
"Both of your daughters are dead! But my daughter is still alive and well!"
Lin Yueyao was suddenly stunned, as if struck by lightning, and lost all strength in an instant.
Mrs. Qian pushed the woman who was pressing on her away fiercely and raised her foot to kick her in the heart, but the next second, she suddenly couldn't move.
"Ma'am! What's wrong with you?"
The maid endured the pain of being kicked in the waist and stood up to help, but as soon as she touched her mistress's sleeve, she was unable to move.
"Who said that both of her daughters died?"
Everyone was also surprised by the strange behavior of Mrs. Qian and her maid.
Hearing the sudden sound, everyone looked towards the door of the teahouse.
A beautiful woman wearing a black cloak walked out of the teahouse calmly.
After helping the shocked Lin Yueyao up, she smiled and looked at Madam Qian and the maid on the second floor, where she had pinpointed the acupuncture points with silver needles.
"Madam, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say anything you want. Be careful not to get caught in a gust of wind and sprain your tongue."
Mrs. Qian looked at the woman next to Lin Yueyao in horror, and tried to make a sound that sounded like she was asking for help to the people around her.
"I am standing here peacefully now, and it seems that only you and your daughter are embarrassed."
"It's almost noon, and there are people coming to watch the execution. What are you two doing occupying the middle of the road? Why don't you get out of the way?"
"Oh~ performance art?" Lin Ruojin covered her mouth and chuckled, "What a pity, we are all ordinary people and can't understand Madam's performance."
After saying that, Lin Ruojin asked everyone to help Madam Qian and her maid to another place so that they would not block the road.
During the process, Lin Yueyao took advantage of Mrs. Qian's inability to move and pinched her arm tightly until she burst into tears in pain.
The crowd dispersed as there was nothing exciting to watch.
The main reason was that the suddenly appearing little daughter of the Lin family did not look easy to mess with, so they did not dare to continue watching the fun.
Lin Ruojin, who had been missing for half a year, suddenly appeared in front of them. Lin's father and mother were so excited that their eyes were filled with tears and they kept asking about her well-being.
Lin Ruojin just nodded lightly and slightly pushed away Lin's mother's arms.
Compared with the couple's enthusiasm, Lin Ruojin's performance was indeed a bit cold.
But she also didn't want to make the two parents sad, after all, she also occupied their daughter's body.
Lin Ruojin smiled and then said, "Something happened at that time. After I fell off the cliff, I learned some skills while recuperating outside and just came back today. Don't worry, I'm fine."
"It's good that you're back!" Mother Lin said happily, "Let me see how that bitch shows off in front of me!"
Father Lin coughed lightly and reprimanded: "The child has just come back, don't say such vulgar words!"
As a mother, seeing her daughter return safe and sound, the joy in her heart was beyond words.
Father Lin was also very pleased and wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes.
At the distant busy street corner, gongs and drums began to sound.
Father Lin said, "Xiao Jin, Baili Shun is going to die! No one will trouble our family anymore!"
Lin Ruojin then realized that it was almost half past eleven, and in another ten minutes or so, it would be three quarters after noon.
"Dad, Mom, I still have things to do. Let's talk about it when we get home. You guys go back first!" Lin Ruojin turned around and was about to leave, but was grabbed by the arm.
Mother Lin was stunned for a moment, "Jin'er, where are you going?"
Lin Ruojin looked around and said nothing.
Logically speaking, for safety reasons, Zhe Ye would have arranged spies near the execution ground to report the situation.
In order to prevent Zhe Ye from arousing suspicion, he deliberately concealed his whereabouts and avoided the other party's eyes. If the two elders of the Lin family were with him.
Then all this disguise would be in vain!
"I have things to do." Lin Ruojin lowered his voice, "You and Dad go back first. I'll go home when this is over."
Seeing that the two did not move, Lin Ruojin frowned and advised: "Because you made a scene in the street, many people saw it. If you go to the execution ground, others will talk about you."
"But..." Suspicion flashed across Father Lin's eyes.
"What's more... I saw the guards of Tianshui Tower are also here. A lean camel is bigger than a horse. If you are here to watch their tower owner have fun, it would be bad if you are hated by him."
Upon hearing this, Father Lin immediately thought of the future based on Lin Ruojin's words.
In today's situation, if they act recklessly, they would be putting the lives of their entire family on the edge of a knife!
Lin Ruojin of course knew what they were thinking, and then swore that she would only stay for a while and leave soon.
While the two were hesitating, the gongs and drums were struck again.
The soldiers who came in an orderly manner cleared a wide and unobstructed road on both sides of the road. Lin Ruojin looked not far away and saw soldiers pulling prison carts coming towards this side.
The rapid sound of the gong had an inexplicable deterrent effect. The crowds of people occupied both sides of the road, and the aura they emitted became increasingly complex, making it difficult for her to distinguish them.
"Go home quickly." Lin Ruojin said, and pushed the couple towards the Lin Mansion, while he quickly went up to the teahouse.
