Chapter 130 The Lin Family Is About to Be Abolished, and Lin Xuefu Takes Action
Qiu Rui was shocked. Was Lin Xuefu pretending to sleep?
Before Qiu Rui could verify, Lin Xuefu, who had just ‘fallen asleep’, had already sat up from the bed and stared at her unkindly.
Qiu Rui walked towards Lin Xuefu anxiously until they were very close. Then she saw Lin Xuefu suddenly raised her hand and slapped her hard on the face.
"You are such a jerk! How dare you leave me alone and run away last night?"
Qiu Rui had long expected that Lin Xuefu would settle the score later, so she knelt down and admitted her fault. "Miss, calm down. It was my fault. I was frightened for a while, so I did something wrong in a panic."
Lin Xuefu's eyes were gloomy, but she didn't say anything else. At the moment, she was short of people and the situation was special. It was not a good time to deal with Qiu Rui.
"Get up."
Qiu Rui breathed a sigh of relief, but she was still a little uneasy in her heart. She stood in front of the bed with an obedient face.
"Go and call Xinrui over."
Originally, Xinrui had been serving the Lady of Yangling Marquis these days, but today was special, so Lin Xuefu kept her.
Qiu Rui responded and hurried out to call for help.
When Xinrui came over, her face was filled with the same worry as Qiu Rui's just now. She was not stupid and had guessed that Master Zhang had a problem.
Without waiting for Lin Xuefu to speak, Xinrui knelt directly in front of Lin Xuefu, "Miss, I know I was wrong."
Lin Xuefu sneered, "Ha! She is still a smart girl."
Although she was angry that Xinrui was framed by Shen Qing, Lin Xuefu could understand Xinrui to some extent. After all, even she fell into Shen Qing's hands, not to mention Xinrui, a little girl.
"Where did you find Master Zhang?"
Xinrui said truthfully: "My lady, I first asked Manager Hao and learned that Master Zhang was a famous ghost exorcist in Shengjing. I also asked around Master Zhang's residence and confirmed that Master Zhang did have some magical powers before I invited him back."
Lin Xuefu frowned. Xinrui did nothing wrong, but Shen Qing had predicted it.
"Forget it, get up. It's not entirely your fault."
Seeing that she had escaped, Xinrui immediately expressed her gratitude: "My lady is kind. I will be careful in the future."
Originally, Xinrui guessed that Lin Xuefu would be furious. After all, this mistake almost cost her life, but she didn't expect that she would let her go so easily.
Lin Xuefu ignored Xinrui and got up from the bed. Qiurui hurried forward to support Lin Xuefu.
Lin Xuefu glanced at her and calmed down a little.
In the corner of the cabinet, Lin Xuefu took out a yellowed booklet. After opening it, she saw that it was already half written. Each page contained a person's information: name, family background, and a time that Qiu Rui could not understand.
Until two familiar names jumped into her eyes-
Qingzhi: a servant of Yangling Marquis's Mansion, the daughter of Wang Laosan, the stable keeper, and Zisun Mama, the cleaning lady, on the third day of the eighth month of the fifteenth year of Jiahe.
Qingling: a slave sold to Yangling Marquis's Mansion, an orphan, without relatives, on the eighth day of the ninth month of the sixteenth year of Jiahe.
Qiu Rui reacted immediately. That time... was the day when the two died!
When did Lin Xuefu write down these things?
What did she want to do?
Doubts spread in her heart, and she heard Lin Xuefu suddenly say: "Grind."
Qiu Rui was grinding, and she saw Lin Xuefu write a name on the last page of the booklet-
Qingzhu: a servant of Yangling Marquis's mansion, the daughter of the Li couple, the servants in the kitchen,...
Lin Xuefu left a blank for the time of death, and the meaning was self-evident.
After writing, Lin Xuefu blew gently on the handwriting until it was completely dry, and then closed it and handed it to Xinrui.
"When you go to serve your aunt later, quietly put it in the small box under her cabinet. Remember to be careful. If you mess up again this time, don't blame me for turning against you."
Xinrui was stunned. Is Lin Xuefu going to...frame the wife of Yangling Marquis?
But the wife of Yangling Marquis was so kind to her...
Feeling Lin Xuefu's cold gaze, Xinrui came back to her senses and quickly took it, "Miss, don't worry, I will definitely get things done!"
Lin Xuefu responded and signaled Xinrui to leave, and Qiurui helped her back to bed.
Lying on the bed, Lin Xuefu felt a little uneasy. The booklet she just gave Xinrui was actually used to record the people that the wife of Yangling Marquis and herself had killed over the years. She recorded the family background and time so that she could find relevant people to do things for herself when she needed it in the future. But she didn't expect that she would use it at this critical moment.
In fact, Lin Xuefu was not completely ruthless to the wife of Yangling Marquis. After all, she was her own aunt who raised her. It would be a lie to say that she didn't feel guilty, but compared with her own future, that touch of family affection seemed insignificant.
The most important point is that she saw the miserable state of the wife of Yangling Marquis with her own eyes yesterday, and she was frightened by Shen Qing and had lost her mind.
Doctor Zhang said that the Yangling Marquis' wife was too traumatized, and even if she gets better in the future, she won't be able to fully recover.
That's why Lin Xuefu made today's decision.
A useless person obviously won't be of much help to her in the future, so it's better to use the Yangling Marquis' wife's last value to pave the way for herself.
Thinking of this, Lin Xuefu looked at Qiu Rui, "Go out and buy some drugs that can destroy people's spirits, and be careful not to be discovered."
Qiu Rui was startled, and then realized that Lin Xuefu was going to attack Yangling Marquis' wife.
But Yangling Marquis’ wife was her aunt who raised her...
Lin Xuefu could even sacrifice Yangling Marquis’ wife, so what about these servants? What were they in Lin Xuefu’s eyes?
Before Qiu Rui had time to think deeply, she was pulled back to her senses by Lin Xuefu’s unhappy voice, “Why are you still standing there? Are you waiting for me to go there in person?”
Qiu Rui quickly responded, “Miss, calm down. I’ll go right away.”
Looking at Qiu Rui’s back getting farther and farther away, Lin Xuefu’s eyes flashed with a hint of coldness.
…
When Shen Qing and Aunt Qiu came back, it was already lunch time.
Mu Lingxi and Cheng Juan got along well, so Ning and Shen Qing also agreed to come and propose marriage after finding a master to calculate an auspicious day.
Shen Qing agreed.
When she arrived at Yangling Marquis’s mansion, Shen Qing did not rush back to Tinglan Courtyard, but first walked around Fuchun Hall and briefly told Yangling Marquis about Mu Lingxi and Cheng Juan.
As the son of the Minister of Rites, even if Yangling Hou disliked Shen Qing, he had to admit that Shen Qing had found a good marriage for Mu Lingxi. However, due to his face, Yangling Hou pretended to be reluctant, but in fact he was very happy.
Shen Qing ignored Yangling Hou who looked awkward. Anyway, his role was just to act as a tool when the Cheng family came to propose marriage.
After a brief greeting to Qin Luan, Shen Qing returned to Tinglan Courtyard.
At the moment Shen Qing returned to the mansion, Haitang had already gone to Doctor Zhang's courtyard to invite people, and now the people had arrived at Tinglan Courtyard.
Shen Qing sat at the top, lowered his eyes and looked at Doctor Zhang, with a little oppression in his voice, and said bluntly: "Doctor Zhang, is it true that Aunt Lin is pregnant?"
