Chapter 116: Clearly Being Framed
Chapter 116: Clearly Being Framed
Yang Chenchuan turned his head and looked at Lin Yuxi intently, his eyes soft and watery. He whispered in her ear: "Wife, when will you give me a son?"
Lin Yuxi's face turned red with embarrassment, and she glared at him fiercely. Fortunately, he didn't speak loudly, otherwise she would have died of shame here today.
Yang Chenchuan was in a good mood at this time. Everything he saw pleased him and he was very excited. For a moment, the atmosphere in the venue became much more lively and not as restrained as at the beginning.
There was laughter and chatter in the hall, but outside the hall there was a quarrel, "Madam, you can't go in!"
Manager Gong was in a headache trying to stop Liu. Liu was so angry that her whole body began to tremble. She cursed: "You blind dog slave, you don't even know who I am, and you dare to block my way."
Manager Gong bowed and apologized to Liu, saying, "Madam, even if I had a hundred guts, I wouldn't dare to stand in your way, but the master told me..."
"Bah, I am the master's first wife and the mistress of this family. How could the master disregard our relationship and let you, a servant, make things difficult for me? What crime should you be punished for putting the master in an unkind and unjust position?" She said as she stepped forward to rush into the house. How could she not be angry when even a servant dared to control her?
Manager Gong was very troubled by this. The lady was right. After all, she was the master's first wife and the mistress of the Lin family. Even if the master ordered it, he, a servant, could not really stop her. Liu turned sideways and rushed in. As soon as she saw Master Lin, she started crying.
"Master, Manager Gong is so bold that he blocked my way and refused to let me in. Today is the day when Yuxi returns home. As a mother, how can I not be there? If this gets out, will our family still have face?"
Because of Liu's arrival, the previously harmonious atmosphere was immediately broken. Master Lin glared at Liu. The Lin family's reputation had long been lost by her and Lin Yuhe, and now she dared to bring this up. Master Lin was not in a good mood when he saw her, but he could not blame her verbally in front of the younger generation.
"What are you yelling about? Just sit down now." Master Lin suppressed his anger and spoke calmly.
Seeing that Mr. Lin did not punish Manager Gong, Liu felt somewhat dissatisfied. However, she was also afraid that she would go too far and Mr. Lin would lock her up in the Buddhist hall again. So Liu happily agreed and sat next to Mr. Lin.
Liu stared at Lin Yuxi and Yang Chenchuan, her eyebrows slightly raised, and said with a smile: "They are really a perfect match. Yuxi's complexion is much better than before. The prefectural government is really good at supporting people. Seeing Yuxi get happiness is also a wish I have fulfilled. After a hundred years, I can finally give an explanation to your aunt. Alas, poor Yuhe..."
As she said that, she wiped the corners of her eyes with an embroidered handkerchief. Seeing that, Lin Yuxi rolled her eyes. If you want to say something about Lin Yuhe, just say it directly. Why bring her up? Is her relationship with her so good? Doesn't she hate her aunt to death? Now she is talking about explanations, just wanting them to release Lin Yuhe. She didn't think about the things Lin Yuhe had done, could she be released so easily?
Master Lin, the old lady, and Yang Chenchuan all looked a little cold. Lin Yuxi would not take the initiative to run into the gun. Seeing that no one responded to her words, Liu almost bit her teeth in hatred, but her goal was not achieved yet, so she continued to talk to herself:
"Yuxi, Yuhe is still young and naive. It's all because of me, as a mother, that I failed to teach her well. She has already realized her mistakes. For the sake of your sisterhood, can you please let her go?"
You see, it was all because of Lin Yuhe. It’s too late to talk to her about sisterhood now.
When she did those things, did she ever think about the sisterhood? If she had not been rescued in time, would she have felt regret or guilt for thinking about the sisterhood?
Lin Yuhe wished she could be as miserable as possible, Lin Yuxi complained coldly.
She didn't want to respond, but Liu had already called her name, and if she didn't answer, she would be disrespectful to her elders. Lin Yuxi said with difficulty: "Madam, what are you talking about? Yuhe is my sister, my father's flesh and blood. How could I be so heartless as to kill her? But you also know that this matter is really serious, and it is definitely not something that can be solved by Yuxi's words."
"What a serious situation! How could Yuhe, so young, collude with bandits? She was clearly framed. Aren't you the second young lady of the prefectural government? Go talk to the county magistrate. I don't think he would dare to disobey you." Liu said directly what she was thinking.
Lin Yuxi's eyes flashed coldly. Is this Liu's attitude of begging for help? Let's not talk about whether Lin Yuhe did those things or not. Just based on her words "God damn it", she could just stand by and watch.
Wasn't it Yang Chenchuan who sent Lin Yuhe to the government that day? Wasn't it Yang Chenchuan who was scolded? Secondly, she relied on her status as the prefect's wife to ask the county magistrate for help. It was an ironclad fact that Lin Yuhe colluded with human traffickers. She said that she was framed by Lin Yuhe, which was not only a slap in the face of the county magistrate, but she also thought about how she would gain a foothold in the Yang family in the future. How could the master be an official if she acted so blatantly?
I don't know if Liu was deliberately trying to embarrass her, or if she was just stupid enough to say such things openly.
"Madam, a woman like me has no right to speak in the prefectural government. Your Excellency is upright and honest, and will definitely not wrongly accuse us common people. I will treat what you just said as a joke. I will leave it here after listening to it, and I will pretend nothing happened after I leave."
Liu's mouth will bring disaster upon herself sooner or later, and if not, it will also bring harm to the entire Lin family.
Lin Yuxi's words made Liu stunned, and then her face turned red with shame. Being lectured by a junior was enough to make her too ashamed to face anyone, but she was unwilling to accept it. She didn't know what kind of suffering Yuhe had suffered in prison. She wanted to go and see but was confined to the Buddhist hall by Master Lin. She also spent a lot of money to find out some information in the past two days, but was told that she was not allowed to visit the prison. She was anxious. Why did Lin Yuxi enjoy wealth and glory while her daughter had to go to jail?
Liu wanted to say something else, but Master Lin couldn't bear to listen any longer. "Shut up! If you keep talking nonsense, the county magistrate will arrest you next."
Liu said in every sentence that Lin Yuhe was framed. Who else could have framed her? She even shouted loudly. If the county magistrate heard about it, she would definitely be in trouble.
Sure enough, when Mr. Lin said that, Liu didn't dare to say anything anymore. She just buried her head and kept wiping her tears. If someone didn't know, they would think that the whole family was bullying her.
Master Lin glanced at Lin Yuxi and Yang Chenchuan awkwardly. In fact, he was also very conflicted. Yuhe was his own flesh and blood after all. He felt guilty if he didn't save her, but he couldn't say it. If he saved her, where would Yuxi be?
He had already treated Lin Yuxi badly, and this matter was not at all unfair to Lin Yuhe. Master Lin sighed inwardly and felt sad.
Yang Chenchuan leaned over and whispered in Lin Yuxi's ear: "If your father-in-law asked you for mercy, would you foolishly agree?"
Lin Yuxi pouted. What did they say she was stupid? How could she be stupid? She snorted coldly and muttered, "It wasn't me who put her in jail. What does it have to do with me?" She was not that stupid. She had the guts to take responsibility for her actions. She had not wronged her. If she was released, wouldn't she be a nuisance?
Her voice was not loud and could only be heard if you were close to her. Yang Chenchuan smiled when he heard it.
