Chapter 183 The Rift Between Aunt and Nephew Escalates, and Yangling Marquis’ Wife Lin Xuefu Confronts Them Head-On
Lin Xuefu's heart suddenly rose again. She turned around and was about to ask the young servant what Yang Linghou was calling Mu Ziqian for, when she heard Mu Ziqian's surprised voice from behind: "Fu'er? You What are you doing standing at the door? Why don't you come in?"
Lin Xuefu stiffened, quickly suppressed the panic in her heart, forced out a smile, and then turned around and said, "I couldn't sleep, so I came over to see if my cousin was asleep."
Afraid that Mu Ziqian would ask again, Lin Xuefu quietly changed the subject again, "I just saw my cousin in a trance, but what's on his mind?"
When asked by Lin Xuefu, Mu Ziqian immediately felt guilty. He couldn't say that he was thinking about Shen Qing just now, could he?
"It's nothing. It's cold at night. Why did you come out wearing so little?"
After saying that, he very considerately took off his coat and put it on Lin Xuefu.
Lin Xuefu gathered up Mu Ziqian's coat and wrapped it around her thin body. She pursed her lips and smiled and said, "I was in such a hurry that I forgot to add some clothes. Cousin, please go in first and find another coat to change into." To avoid catching a cold.”
Mu Ziqian nodded, turned around and went into the house.
Lin Xuefu then approached the boy who had just delivered the message and asked in a low voice: "My uncle called my cousin late at night. Do you know what is important?"
The boy shook his head, "The Jingque Pavilion didn't say anything, but judging from the situation, it should be quite urgent."
Lin Xuefu's face darkened, and a bad premonition slowly rose in her heart.
When Mu Ziqian changed his clothes and came out, he saw Lin Xuefu still standing at the door. He took a step forward and grasped her cold fingertips, asking: "Fu'er is sleepy? If not, why not be as surprised as me?" Take a trip to Magpie Pavilion?”
To be honest, Marquis Yangling suddenly called him over in the middle of the night. Although Mu Ziqian felt that he had not caused any trouble outside recently, he was still a little scared subconsciously.
It would probably be better if Lin Xuefu was with her.
Not to mention anything else, Lin Xuefu was still able to stop herself when Yanglinghou got angry.
Lin Xuefu paused and responded with a smile: "Okay, let's go there now, don't keep uncle waiting."
Mu Ziqian nodded, holding Lin Xuefu's hand and walking towards Jingque Pavilion together.
…
When the two came over, it was already past midnight, and the entire Jingque Pavilion was so quiet that people couldn't help but feel panicked.
Mu Ziqian couldn't help but squeeze Lin Xuefu's hand and whispered, "Fu'er, I really haven't done anything extraordinary these days, right?"
Hearing this, Lin Xuefu's heart trembled and the corners of her mouth pursed slightly. Mu Ziqian indeed didn't do it, but she did.
After a moment of silence, Lin Xuefu comforted Mu Ziqian and said, "Cousin, don't panic, you have done very well these days."
Hearing what Lin Xuefu said, Mu Ziqian immediately felt more at ease. He walked forward and knocked on the door, "Father, my son is here."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Linghou's response came from inside the room: "Come in."
The two pushed the door open and saw that the room was bright. Marquis Yangling was sitting at the top, Aunt Qiao was standing beside him obediently, and kneeling on the ground was Mrs. Marquis Yangling with disheveled hair!
Lin Xuefu's eyes widened instantly. She never expected that Mrs. Yanglinghou would be here!
Mu Zi Qiantong's face was full of surprise. It took him a while to come back to his senses and look at Yangling Marquis who was sitting above him. "Father, mother, this is..."
Marquis Yangling glanced at Lin Xuefu, who was still in astonishment. "Your mother has regained her consciousness and told me many things. I wanted you to come and listen."
Monk Mu Ziqian was confused, but Lin Xuefu's heart had hit rock bottom.
It's over, her affairs can no longer be hidden.
Mu Ziqian was about to pull Lin Xuefu to sit on a chair. Hongyan Hall was not close to Jingque Pavilion, and his feet were a little sore from walking all the way.
But I heard the stern voice of Marquis Yangling, "Sit down. As for Lin Xuefu, she should kneel with her aunt."
Mu Ziqian frowned immediately, what kind of trouble is Yanglinghou doing?
"Father, Fu'er is still pregnant!"
Marquis Yangling sneered: "Are you distressed? I'm afraid you'll want to kill her directly."
After saying that, he ignored Mu Ziqian who was still confused and looked directly at Mrs. Yanglinghou, "Ms. Lin, tell me what you just said to me again in front of Qian'er and Lin Xuefu. Is it true or false? , there must be a result.”
Madam Yanglinghou raised a ferocious smile on her lips, and looked at Lin Xuefu who was kneeling beside her with her scarlet eyes, "Lin Xuefu, I'm afraid you never thought that I would have another Qingming day. You can still stand here and point out your crimes one by one."
Lin Xuefu's face turned pale, she shook her head with an innocent expression and said, "Aunt, what are you talking about? I don't understand. What's wrong with you? I'm Xuefu!"
Mrs. Yanglinghou manically slapped Lin Xuefu in the face and cursed angrily: "Pretending? Are you still pretending? You are still pretending to be innocent now?"
Seeing Lin Xuefu being beaten, Mu Ziqian immediately became anxious. He stood up and wanted to step forward to protect Lin Xuefu, but was held back by Yanglinghou's order.
Mu Ziqian couldn't break free and could only yell at Mrs. Yanglinghou: "Mother, what are you doing? There is still my child in Fu'er's belly!"
Mrs. Yanglinghou gave Mu Ziqian a hateful look. She was glad that she didn't go to find this idiot just now. "You brainless thing! You only remember that she has your child in her belly. Then do you know that she How many of your children have you killed with your own hands?”
After being crazy for quite a while, when she woke up, the wife of Yangling Marquis was much clearer than before, especially on the way here, the cold wind made her more sober. She finally understood that Lin Xuefu had been treating her as a pawn all these years, and when she was useless, she could kill her.
Mu Ziqian seemed to have realized something, frowned and said, "Mother, are you going to force Fu'er to do what you did?"
Seeing that Mu Ziqian still couldn't get over it, the wife of Yangling Marquis got up and picked up the teacup beside her and smashed it at Mu Ziqian. She looked at the blood flowing from Mu Ziqian's forehead but didn't show any heartache, "Rebellious son! Idiot! At this time, you are still helping Lin Xuefu to throw dirty water on your mother's head. I think you have been bewitched by this little goblin!"
Mu Ziqian screamed and made a fuss in pain. Yangling Marquis was annoyed with him, so he first had someone block his mouth, and then had someone treat his wounds simply and invite Doctor Zhang over.
Not to mention that the wife of Yangling Marquis was angry, even the Marquis of Yangling began to doubt why Mu Ziqian could be so stupid.
The next moment, the wife of Yangling Marquis's angry voice sounded again: "Mu Ziqian, let me tell you, except for Qingzhi who tried to threaten me and was beaten to death by me, the rest of the beautiful maids in your yard were killed by Lin Xuefu. So, you can understand it, right?"
During the days when the wife of Yangling Marquis was in a coma, although she was drowsy, she was conscious and heard clearly what Lin Xuefu had done over the years, so this scene happened.
Lin Xuefu cried and denied, "I didn't, cousin, believe me, I really didn't do it."
Mu Ziqian gave Lin Xuefu a soothing look and defended her: "Then mother, why did Fuer do these things?"
The wife of Yangling Marquis was so angry that she laughed and couldn't help but stepped forward and slapped Mu Ziqian to wake him up, "No wonder Shen Qing said you were stupid before. You think Lin Xuefu wouldn't do these things, so don't you think I have any reason to do these things?"
