Volume 2, Chapter 355: There is nowhere to ask for help

Shangguan Lin is the emperor's most trusted physician. The reason why he has stayed with the emperor for a long time is that he does not interfere with the government affairs and never talks nonsense.

Lin Shangguan knew about her brother's temper and felt uneasy. After some hesitation, she decided to go to Shangguan Ruoli and Dongming Ziyu.

Since Dongming Ziyu was promoted to minister, he had more opportunities to meet the emperor. The emperor also liked to ask his opinion on anything. I heard that the emperor wanted to build a big river that runs through the north and south. This suggestion was given by Dongming Ziyu.

Dongming Ziyu went to work, and Shangguanruo left Zhuangzi to plant new varieties of flowers. My brother and sister-in-law all went to do their own business. The children went to school, and the others went to the medical clinic. Only Old Man Dong

Son, Mrs. Qian and Mr. Sun, who has a mental problem, are at home.

When Mrs. Qian heard that it was Lin Shangguan, her face dropped, "What's the lady of the minister? Isn't the minister in jail? Tell her that Wu Lang's mother is not at home, and it will be dark when she comes back!"

If it were before, Mrs. Lin would have left in shame, but at this moment, she could only suppress her temper and go to the knitting shop to have a look. Shangguan Ruoli was not there, so she guessed that she should have gone to Zhuangzi, which was at the gate of the city.

Waiting at a teahouse, someone went to the city gate to intercept Shangguan Ruoli.

Shangguan Ruoli was quite busy today and came back after planting all the roses. When he arrived at the gate of the city, it was already dusk and the lights were starting to turn on.

As soon as they entered the city gate, a man dressed as a servant stopped the carriage and came forward to salute: "I pay my respects to my cousin and say hello to my cousin."

"Cousin girl?" Shangguan Ruoli was puzzled, thinking about which family in the capital called her that.

Dongshi asked: "Whose slave are you?"

The boy smiled and said, "This servant is a servant of the Lin family, the Minister of Household Affairs. My wife is waiting for her cousin at Quanfu Tower and wants to talk to her."

Shangguan Ruoli suddenly understood, sneered and said, "I'm not free today. I have to go to school to pick up my children. See you some other time."

"Cousin! Please! My wife has been waiting for most of the day. Please go there! Otherwise, I won't be able to do business!" The young man knelt down in front of the carriage with a 'pop' and began to cry and beg.

People were coming and going at the city gate. Many people gathered around and started pointing.

Shangguan Ruoli would not be coerced and said in a cold voice: "Make way! Don't let me expose your master's affairs here! Many people will come to the teahouse and throw rotten eggs to your wife!"

"Uh!" The boy's cry suddenly stopped. Seeing that the moral kidnapping failed, he had no choice but to get out of the way.

Shangguan Ruoli said quietly: "Tell your madam, I can't help with her family's affairs."

"Drive!" Dong Shi shook the reins and the horse galloped away.

The boy wiped his tears and returned to the teahouse to talk to Mrs. Lin.

When Lin Shangguan heard this, he slammed the table angrily, "Beast! White-eyed wolf! How come you haven't died outside all these years? Why hasn't your little bastard died?"

After saying that, he covered his face with the handkerchief and started crying.

When Shangguan Ruoli returned home, Dongming Ziyu had already resigned. Seeing that she was not at home, he also brought Wulang and the others back from the superior family school."

Dongming Ziyu listened to her talk about today's events and said: "My father-in-law said that Mrs. Lin also went to beg him today. He would make a preamble to the emperor, which is considered as a brother-sister relationship, and asked us not to worry about this matter.

When the Lin family came to the fore, they were not repaying evil with kindness, they were flouting the laws and regulations."

"Father is right. If the emperor is angry, we can't have both the father-in-law and the son-in-law." Shangguan Ruoli changed out of the clothes he had gone out and went to the kitchen to cook two meals that the children loved.

The next day when Shangguan Ruoli got the news, Mrs. Lin went to seek help from Shangguan Ruolan as soon as she came out of the teahouse, and she fainted at the Nan'an Marquis Mansion.

What the Marquis of Nan'an meant was that the case was still under trial, the witnesses and material evidence were all available, and the emperor was furious. It was not a good opportunity to plead for mercy. It would not be too late to plead for mercy until the final sentencing.

Mrs. Lin also went to the Xunyang Houfu, the maternal ancestral home of Shangguan Ruoli, without even entering the door, fearing to avoid it.

Lin Jiahui met Mrs. Lin on the pretext that she had fetal pressure.

Mrs. Lin knelt on the ground and cried bitterly, "Mother, you are so cruel! Shangguan Lin only gave me a few perfunctory words. Shangguan Ruoli didn't even see me, and threatened me by publicizing the Lin family's affairs..."

Ba La Ba La said that there are no good people in the whole capital and they all owe their family.

Lin Jiahui also wiped away her tears, "Why did you go to Shangguan Ruoli? Don't you know that it was Dong Youfu who handed over the account book to the prince regarding the household affairs?"

"What?!" Mrs. Lin was shocked, her eyes were splitting, "Really?"

"The prince said that our housekeeper saw the Xie family's housekeeper operating near the No. 1 Scholar's Mansion and wanted to arrest him. He hit the wall and committed suicide." Lin Jiahui did not say that he most likely went to the No. 1 Scholar's Mansion.
