Chapter 228 Are we just going to let him go on like this?
After saying this, Earl Yongning swung his long arm, released the hand that was restraining Lin, and left without mercy.
Zhou Lingyi quickly stepped forward to catch Lin, who was almost thrown to the ground.
Lin was crying, her tone full of sorrow, and she kept murmuring, "How could he treat me like this? How could he despise me? I did all this for the Marquis' Mansion, for him!"
When Zhou Lingyi heard this, the scene he saw that night at Fahua Temple suddenly flashed through his mind. The hand that was supporting Lin suddenly froze and he shrank back imperceptibly.
Lin was immersed in his own emotions and didn't notice it.
Nanny Kong heard the quarrel outside. When she saw Earl Yongning coming out, she hurried in to support Lin.
When Mrs. Lin saw Madam Kong, she clutched Madam Kong's hands tightly with her well-maintained hands. "Madam, did you hear that? Did you hear that? He thinks I'm dirty!"
"No wonder... No wonder he refused to accept the soup I sent to his study after that night. Turns out... Turns out he dislikes me!"
"Mammy, am I really dirty?"
Nanny Kong's heart was almost broken. Lin was the child she raised with her own hands. She watched Lin grow up, get married and have children. Lin was more important to her than her own children.
Over the years, she has seen clearly that her uncle is a cold-hearted person, but there is no turning back for Lin.
No matter how painful Lin felt, she had to go on for the sake of her children.
Madam Kong's eyes turned red as she sobbed and tried to comfort Lin, "It's not dirty, Madam. That's not what the uncle meant. Please don't let your imagination run wild."
Lin shook his head hastily, his breathing rapid due to his emotions, "No...that's what he meant!"
Madam Kong's hands were free, and she quickly patted Lin's back to comfort her, "Madam, you have to take care of yourself. Uncle is obsessed with that bitch from the Shen family. If you don't cheer up, what will happen to Brother Lin and Sister Yi?"
Lin froze and murmured, "Yes, I still have Brother Lin and Sister Yi..."
She seemed to have just reacted. She stared at Zhou Lingyi blankly, then threw herself into his arms and burst into tears, "Yier! You and your brother are all Mother has left!"
Lin cried for a while, then she remembered that the most important thing now was to solve her daughter's problem. She wiped her tears with the handkerchief, patted Zhou Lingyi's hand, and comforted him:
"Don't worry, your father only has you as his daughter. He must and will make sure you get what you want!"
is it?
Thinking of the cold look her father had given her just now and the words of disdain he had used, Zhou Lingyi didn't quite believe what Lin said.
If her father really had her in his heart, he would not have hidden the news that Her Highness was going to ask the Emperor for permission to marry him.
After all, all my father cares about is the future of the Bo family, my brother, and that bitch Lin Wanru!
Zhou Lingyi was filled with rage. She was determined to avenge herself from Shen Qionghua for today's humiliation. Since her father would not help her, she would do it herself!
The fire in Zhou Lingyi's heart burned more and more fiercely. She suddenly looked up and shouted to Caiwei outside:
"Caiwei, take my invitation to General Lin's residence and tell him I want to visit Miss Lin tomorrow."

Shen Qionghua had no idea what kind of chaos was going on in the Yongning Marquis's Mansion, and even if she knew, she would only applaud.
She took a nap in the carriage and felt refreshed.
Shaoyao supported the somewhat dazed Shen Qionghua back to the yard.
As soon as she entered the yard and saw the wooden boards nailed to the windows of the house, Shen Qionghua immediately came to her senses.
Thinking of what Prince Rui said in the palace, Shen Qionghua felt a headache.
She wanted to cheat, but was afraid that Prince Rui would find out and go directly to the palace to ask the emperor for a marriage.
After much deliberation, Shen Qionghua gritted his teeth and decided to remove the wooden board.
Forget it, Prince Rui said he wouldn't force herself, and he didn't tell her about it at the banquet just now, so he probably won't do anything out of line again.
Just tear it down.
Having made up his mind, Shen Qionghua looked at Fuling who was coming towards him and said, "Fuling, please ask the servants in the mansion to remove all these wooden boards."
"Ah, why?" Fuling asked curiously. She felt strange when the young lady said she wanted to nail the windows shut.
The lady's room has excellent lighting, and it is very comfortable to take a nap on the soft couch beside the bed at noon.
But the young lady said that she had a nightmare at night and felt that there was a ghost floating outside the window. Not only did she order the windows to be sealed, she also said that she was very scared and insisted that the lady accompany her to sleep.
It’s only been over a month, why is it going to be demolished again?
Shen Qionghua lied without blushing or beating her heart, "I don't have nightmares at night anymore, and I can sleep normally. Naturally, there's no need to seal the windows anymore."
Fuling was a simple-minded person and didn't think much about it, so she agreed obediently.
Just as she was about to retreat and call for help, Shen Qionghua stopped her again, "Wait!"
"What else do you want, young lady?"
Shen Qionghua hesitated and said, "Go to A Niang's courtyard and tell her that my nightmare is over and I don't need her to stay with me at night. Let her have a good rest at night."
Shen Qionghua felt her scalp tingling when she thought about Prince Rui's suggestion to propose marriage once he was discovered.
A'niang was a light sleeper and could be woken up by the slightest noise. If she found out that a man broke into her boudoir in the middle of the night, and this man was Prince Rui, whom A'niang had always regarded as a gentleman, she might be so frightened that she would faint.
Even if he didn't faint, Prince Rui was now like a scoundrel. If he really gave up and proposed to A Niang, then A Niang would definitely faint.
If Prince Rui insisted on breaking into her boudoir, A'niang would be unable to stop him. So she simply let A'niang stay in her own room to avoid being frightened.
This time, Fuling had no doubts and readily agreed and walked out.
After entering the inner room, Shaoyao helped Shen Qionghua change clothes, took off her heavy headdress, and put on casual clothes. Only then did Shen Qionghua feel a little more comfortable.
Shen Qionghua held the teacup and sipped it, while Shaoyao seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Everyone else thought the young lady was having a nightmare, which was why she nailed the window and asked the lady to sleep with her, but she knew the truth.
All this was clearly done to avoid Prince Rui from breaking into the young lady's boudoir at night.
Shaoyao was very angry. A woman's boudoir was such an important place, how could she allow a man from outside to come and go freely!
Prince Rui looked like a dignified and upright gentleman, but unexpectedly, he was also a thief who broke into houses through windows!
The young lady's previous actions were clearly intended to avoid Prince Rui, but after entering the palace, she removed the wooden planks upon her return. Could it be...
Shaoyao opened her eyes wide and asked, "Miss, did Prince Rui threaten you in the palace?"
Shen Qionghua remained silent.
Asking the emperor to grant me a marriage if I don't remove the wooden planks is just a threat.
Shaoyao saw that Shen Qionghua was silent, which only made her more certain of her suspicions. She said angrily, "I thought Prince Rui was a gentleman, but I never thought he was such a shameless scoundrel!"
Shen Qionghua nodded repeatedly in agreement with Shaoyao's words.
See, it’s not that she is blind, it’s that Prince Rui hid it too well.
Shaoyao then asked, "Miss, Prince Rui is so unscrupulous, are we just going to let him go on like this?"
This is too frustrating!
Shen Qionghua also felt aggrieved.
Suddenly, her eyes rolled, as if she thought of something. She stood up, took out a bag of gold from the drawer of her dressing table and gave it to Shaoyao, then whispered a few words in her ear.
Shaoyao didn't know what she heard, her eyes lit up, but then she hesitated and said, "But Miss, where should I go to find him?"
Shen Qionghua paused, then a smile appeared on her face, "Let's go to Shidinglou!"
