Chapter 179: It's Time to Ask the County Magistrate for Help
Lin Yuxi didn't know how to react for a moment, so she pursed her lips and said nothing.
Putting aside other things, was Liu ordering her to pick up Lin Yuhe?
Lin Yuhe was so cruel and vicious that she harmed her. She was young, ignorant, and willful. Did she deserve to be harmed by her?
Now she has to go pick her up? Why?
She is not the Virgin Mary, and she is not so magnanimous as to forgive an enemy who once tried to kill her.
But what she didn't expect was that she was actually pregnant. I guess it must be Wen Yanqing's baby!
Although Lin Yuxi was very reluctant to release this person who wanted her dead at any time, she had to consider the baby in her belly. Maybe Master Lin also had this intention, but was just hindered by his own feelings...
She frowned slightly, and when she was in a dilemma, she heard Yang Chenchuan's cold voice: "Lin Yuhe deserved it. I let her go for the sake of my father-in-law and my wife. If it were someone else, she would have been beheaded long ago. My wife is the victim, she has no right to interfere in this matter, and it's useless for you to beg her."
Yang Chenchuan's appearance made Lin Yuxi feel relieved. At least she could throw the problem to him. She was still very conflicted about Lin Yuhe's matter.
You said you would let her go, but she won't come back to hurt you. If you insist on not letting her go, you should at least give her some face for the sake of her belly!
If Mr. Lin came to ask in person, Lin Yuxi thought she would agree.
“You…” Yang Chenchuan’s words made Liu speechless. After a long while, she calmed down and scolded: “You don’t even know how to behave politely when you see your mother-in-law.”
Yang Chenchuan didn't care. Being disrespectful to elders is a very bad reputation, but he didn't care. He only respected people who deserved respect. Obviously, Liu was not one of them.
He did not respond to Liu's words, but walked to Lin Yuxi and asked with concern: "Didn't I tell you to rest in your room? Why are you so disobedient?"
Then he glanced at Liu and continued, "It's dark and the road is hard to travel. Madam, if you have nothing else to do, please go back early. As for what you are asking for, I'm sorry that I and your wife are powerless to help you. You should ask the county magistrate for help."
Yang Chenchuan spoke in a distant tone, calling Liu Madam and himself a junior. He did not regard her as his mother-in-law at all, nor did he regard himself as her son-in-law.
Lin Yuxi glanced at him and thought to herself, what a stingy man!
But, she likes it!
The corners of her lips curled up slightly, and she held his hand calmly.
Liu's breath came up to her throat and she couldn't swallow it down. She pointed at Lin Yuxi's nose and cursed:
"You ungrateful thing, Yuhe is your own sister. You have put her in jail and made her suffer. She is pregnant now, but you still won't let her go. How far do you want to go to harm her? If I had known that you were so vicious that you would even harm your own sister, I would have drowned you long ago."
Liu had no scruples and even deliberately raised her voice to shout, as if she wanted everyone to hear that Lin Yuxi was a vicious woman. Lin Yuxi's face immediately turned cold and she sneered repeatedly.
She is really good at confusing right and wrong. Who is harming whom?
Yang Chenchuan's face was dark and gloomy. Lin Yuxi was his wife, how could he allow others to slander her, even if she was his stepmother? He snorted coldly:
"Everyone is watching what they do. God knows the truth. You are confusing right and wrong. Your nonsense has angered God and you will be punished. But no one can help you. If you want to stay here, just stay. My wife is not feeling well so I won't accompany you. Please do as you please, madam!"
Yang Chenchuan didn't even look at Liu again. He hugged Lin Yuxi's waist and went back to the room.
Lin Yuxi didn't want to stay any longer. It was not a pleasant feeling to be pointed at and scolded, let alone to cause trouble.
Fortunately, Yang Chenchuan showed up in time, otherwise if she had continued listening, she might have done something extreme and given people a reason to criticize her.
Back in the room, Yang Chenchuan still looked unhappy. He warned her calmly, "Next time she comes, just say you're not feeling well and leave."
Knowing that he treated her well, Lin Yuxi felt sweet in her heart, and leaned into his arms and hummed: "I know."
But I couldn't help but feel a little worried. "You really shouldn't do this. It's not worth it to get a bad reputation for being disrespectful and unfilial because of her."
Yang Chenchuan curled his lips and said indifferently: "Those reputations are worthless, what's the point of having them? I have a wife, which is enough."
Lin Yuxi felt as if she had eaten honey when she heard this. She felt so sweet in her heart! He treated her well, so she should do something for him.
Speaking of Liu, she cursed the two of them loudly in the front hall for a long time without caring about the occasion. When she saw that no one was paying attention to her, she stopped talking awkwardly.
After all, this was not his territory, and he was afraid of offending the powerful, so he smashed the blue and white jade porcelain cup to vent his anger before walking away with his head held high.
Luyun was relieved when she saw this, and to prevent her from causing any more trouble, she personally escorted her out of the house.
Unexpectedly, she ran into the Second Madam at the gate. Lu Yun's heart suddenly jumped. The Second Madam was not a good person. She loved to make trouble for the Young Mistress and tried every means to put people in the Young Master's room. What if she had any evil ideas again?
Lu Yun was so anxious that he was spinning in circles!
The second wife naturally recognized Luyun. She took another look at Liu and saw that the material of her clothes was not bad. She guessed her identity and took the initiative to walk forward and talk to her.
"This lady is..."
Lu Yun knew that she could not escape, so she bowed and said, "To answer the Second Madam, this is the Young Madam's mother, Madam, this is the Second Madam."
The second wife smiled when she heard this, and when she saw the anger on Liu's face, she was even happier. She took Liu's hand warmly and said, "So you are my sister-in-law's mother-in-law, so you are a relative. It's still early, why are you in such a hurry to leave? Why don't you come to my room and sit down?"
Although Liu did not deliberately inquire about Lin Yuxi's affairs, she would occasionally hear some information from the servants. She knew that the second wife did not like Lin Yuxi and was targeting her everywhere. She came up with a plan and a hint of malice flashed in her eyes.
She went into the house politely with the Second Wife. Lu Yun was so anxious that she didn't know what to do. Unfortunately, she was a servant and could not restrict Liu's whereabouts. She stood at the door for a long time before she remembered to go back and report to the young master and the young mistress.
Luyun ran back to Tingyuxuan in a hurry, and pushed the door into the room without even paying attention to the rules. At this time, the couple were talking to each other in a heart-to-heart talk.
Yang Chenchuan was annoyed when he saw Liuyun's reckless and unruly appearance. Every good thing would be interrupted by her. He and she were really incompatible. He said coldly: "This girl really deserves to be beaten with a stick."
Lu Yun knew she was in the wrong, and her face started to burn. However, she also remembered something important, and said anxiously, "Master and Madam, when I was escorting Madam out of the house just now, I met the Second Madam, who invited Madam to have tea and chat. I hurried back to report, and I disturbed the master. I beg for punishment."
Unexpectedly, Lin Yuxi was not anxious after hearing this, and she even smiled thoughtfully. She looked at Lu Yun and scolded: "It's not a big deal, but you are making such a fuss. Aren't you afraid of embarrassing me? You really deserve a beating. You have forgotten the pain after getting the scar. It's also my fault that I spoiled you too much and you even forgot the rules."
Luyun widened her eyes, feeling very aggrieved, but she didn't dare to say a word, and her eyes couldn't help but turn red.
Lin Yuxi felt sad when she saw this. Yang Chenchuan wished he could find a reason to punish her, so how could he let her go so easily? He said in a deep voice, "You are the young mistress's maid. Your every word and action represents the young mistress. Go down and do horse stance for an hour."
