Chapter 958: Selling Girls to Pave the Way
When Mrs. Hou heard what Rianyi said so straightforwardly, she said with some displeasure:
"Lianyi, how can you say that? I am your mother, how can I harm you? You are still so young, are you willing to spend the rest of your life like this?"
"Okay, what you said is so nice, you don't want to sell me again."
Ripple interrupted the other party impatiently and said.
"Lianyi, your father and I really want to welcome you home. Now that Lin Yaozu has just passed away, you still have a chance."
Mrs. Hou said without giving up.
"It seems that you won't give up unless I explain it clearly."
Ripple leaned back on the chair casually and continued:
"I don't understand very much. My sister and I are obviously twins and look exactly the same. Why are you so sure that I am the disaster star?
If it hadn't been for that Taoist priest's instructions, I might not have lived to be sixteen!
In order to protect your beloved little daughter from disaster, I can grow up smoothly, but your little daughter is not lucky enough to even marry into the Shangshu Mansion.
So at this time, you remembered me, the eldest daughter who prevented disasters. You brought me back from Zhuangzi all the way, and then arranged for Grandma Sun, Hongqi, Lvcui and Yingtao to keep me captive in the Hou Mansion. .
What you have done is not enough. Your plan is to let me marry into the Lin family and help your beloved little daughter occupy the position of the head wife. When your little daughter is well, you can change our identities.
For this reason, you even gave me cold food to prevent me from getting pregnant in a short period of time. As long as I don't have children, I, a married woman, will need the support of the Marquis Mansion, so that you can continue to control me.
When you found out that I was pregnant, you couldn't wait to call Grandma Sun back and gave her a lesson. You probably gave her a new task and tried to find a way to make me have an abortion. Unfortunately, I was very cautious and she didn't have the chance to do anything.
Seeing that your plan failed, you sent another message to Mei Zhi, asking her to take over as soon as possible and control Lin Yaozu's heart. Unfortunately, Mei Zhi is not stupid. She knows that as long as your beloved little daughter comes back, with her vicious temper, she will only die. , so she surrendered to me.
You couldn't reach the Shangshu Mansion, so you went to great lengths to hold a chrysanthemum appreciation banquet, and invited me, a married woman, back. Then you repeated your old tricks, using the bonsai in my room to give me chronic poison, causing me to miscarry. Said, you also want me to lose my fertility and completely become a tool in your hands and a stepping stone for your little daughter. "
Lianyi deliberately paused here and admired Mrs. Hou's ever-changing face before continuing:
"What a pity! Your little daughter is the disaster star. Her face is getting uglier and uglier. Even you don't dare to look at it, right?
And I am completely out of your control, how unwilling you must be!
Finally, my husband passed away, and you once again set your sights on me, wanting to marry me again and then seek benefits for the Marquis House. After all, the title of Marquis Anding is not hereditary, but is inherited by demotion. "
After Lianyi's words fell, the room became eerily quiet. Even the children in the greenhouse next door and Aunt Zhen didn't make a sound.
Mrs. Hou is Lao Jiang after all, and her complexion has recovered at this time, but she looks at Ripples with a dark expression.
"I've said everything I need to say. Don't come to my door if you have nothing to do in the future. I don't want to see your pretending to be kind face. From now on, I will just treat you like an ordinary relative.
You can also tell Marquis Anding about what I said today and see if he will blame you or me. "
After Ripple finished speaking, he raised his voice and said:
"Meizhi, send Mrs. Hou off!"
Mei Zhi, who had been waiting at the door, immediately responded, then opened the door curtain, made a blessing ceremony to Mrs. Hou, and said the word "please" politely.
What else could Mrs. Hou say? Everyone knew what she did to her eldest daughter, and they also fought back, even more so unknowingly. With this method, she felt inferior.
She was hiding in the backyard of Shangshu Mansion, so what could she do? Is it possible to pick someone up by force? She wanted to do this, but she knew in her heart that the success rate was basically zero.
After Madam Hou left, Lianyi touched Xuanfeng's head and said:
"You have such a big face. This is because you have suffered too little."
"Master, can I teach her a lesson?"
"Okay, send me a letter by the way."
There are some things that we have to guard against. If Mrs. Hou goes back to instigate Andinghou to make her uncomfortable, she will be very unhappy.
The next day, Mei Zhi suppressed the joy on her face and told Ripples that when Mrs. Hou returned home, the horse was frightened and the carriage was running wildly. When she was stopped by the guards patrolling the street, Mrs. Hou's arm was caught in the carriage. The maidservant was crushed and her ankle was sprained, and she was carried back to the Hou Mansion.
There was an unsigned letter lying in Marquis Anding's study, telling all the nasty things Mrs. Marquis had done to his eldest daughter.
There was smoke coming from Anding Houqi's nostrils. With a good help, he was pushed away by his old wife. How could he not be angry?
It happened that his old wife was also injured, so he directly handed over the housekeeping rights to his eldest daughter-in-law, telling her to rest in peace and recuperate in the mansion, and not to go to Shangshu's mansion to see his eldest daughter in the future.
Marquis Anding knew very well that he could now completely shirk away from the things Mrs. Hou did, but after reading the letter, he was indifferent. In the future, his eldest daughter might not even care about her face, and would treat the Marquis as an enemy. .
Lianyi was very satisfied when she heard the news that Anding Hou had deliberately sent back, and then she took care of the Shangshu Mansion's property in the backyard with her baby at ease.
As long as Lin Shangshu serves as an official in the court for one day, she will be able to accumulate wealth through her father-in-law's influence, making her life extremely comfortable.
In the blink of an eye, another five years have passed, and An An is already twelve years old. This year, he is preparing to take the children's examination, and has been studying hard recently.
An'an's given name is Lin Ze'an, whose nickname is Manjusri. Both the name and the nickname were given by Lin Shangshu.
As the children grew up, Lin Shangshu found that the youngest grandson became more and more ugly and had no resemblance to his son. Especially when he met Lin Yong, the housekeeper of the mansion, his doubts reached its peak because the little grandson was getting older and more ugly. Grandson Lin Zefu looks more like a housekeeper.
Lin Shangshu suppressed the doubts in his heart and asked Lianyi some questions. Lianyi knew that Lin Zefu's appearance aroused his father-in-law's suspicion, but she pretended not to know anything and answered his father-in-law's questions.
After returning to the backyard, Ripple continued to care about the food, clothing, housing and transportation of the three children. A month later, when Butler Lin went out to inspect the farm, he encountered the escaped murderer and was killed.
Lin Shangshu thought that Lin Yong had hard work without any merit, so he arranged a funeral for Lin Yong, released his wife and children from slavery, rewarded their family with a small village, and became independent from Lin Yong. Life.
When Lin Ze'an passed the child examination, Lin Zefu had a conflict with a classmate in the school. During the push, he fell to the ground, hit the back of his head on the corner of the table, and died immediately.
When the bad news came back, Lianyi knew that it was the old minister who had taken action. She immediately pretended to faint, while Lin Ze'an and Lin Miaomiao stayed by their mother's side with tears in their eyes.
