Chu Nanzhi listened carefully to the noise outside, and when she realized that Liu Yun was arguing with someone again, she quickly stood up.
When they arrived in the yard, they saw Liu Yun and Xiao Sibao blocking Lin Tingzhen at the door, preventing him from entering.
Taking a closer look, Lin Tingzhen was followed by several servants, holding binding ropes and canes in their hands.
Lin Jinhui looked a little scared and hid behind Chu Nanzhi while trembling.
But Chu Nanzhi could not hide anyone behind her petite figure. Lin Tingzhen noticed it at a glance.
Lin Tingzhen held a cane in his hand and regardless of Liu Yun and Xiao Sibao's obstruction, he rushed in aggressively and shouted at Chu Nanzhi with angry eyes:
"Lin Jinhui, you damn girl, get out of here right away. You killed your sister, how can you still live with dignity in this world?"
Chu Nanzhi stopped Lin Tingzhen, who was rushing forward, and loudly stopped him: "What are you trying to do, uncle? Do you really want to kill another daughter? Even if it is really your aunt who killed Sanniang, you can't blame Jin Hui."
Yeah, after all, she is your own flesh and blood, Jin Hui almost died at home last night, aren't you trying to push her back into despair?"
"Nan Zhi, please stop protecting this damn girl. If she hadn't been cunning, willful, unreasonable, and unreasonable all day long, making people worry about her, how could such a big thing have happened."
Lin Tingzhen still had some respect for his niece-in-law, and he did not dare to deny her face at all, so his tone of voice suddenly became much gentler.
"One slap can't make a difference. This should be uncle's family matter and I shouldn't interfere. But Jinhui called me sister-in-law. Yesterday, my aunt entrusted her to me again. I can't just watch you force her again."
To a dead end."
Chu Nanzhi looked at the thorn-covered rattan in his hand and the rope in the hands of the servant behind him. They looked so visceral that he really wanted to beat his sister-in-law to death.
Liu Yun also came over immediately to dissuade her: "My dear, please calm down, Jin Hui did realize that she was wrong this time. If the maids in her courtyard hadn't discovered it in time last night, this girl would have hanged herself in the house.
"
With that said, she pulled Lin Jinhui to her side, pointed to the wound wrapped around her neck, and continued to persuade:
"Look at this girl, she has a deep strangulation mark on her neck. She just took medicine before going to bed last night. How can she withstand the torture of these guys in your hands?"
Lin Tingzhen looked at the scars on her daughter's neck and began to feel a little moved. The cane she was holding tightly in her hand couldn't help but loosen.
Liu Yun said again: "The eldest lady has just been imprisoned. If you beat Jinhui to death again, how can you be embarrassed to let that child Jinyi come back?"
These words reminded Lin Tingzhen that no matter how arrogant the mother and daughter were, their son Jinyi was still a filial child after all.
Jin Yi and his wife love their sister the most. If they beat Jin Hui to death and make father and son turn against each other, it would be more than worth the loss.
He thoughtfully put down the cane in his hand and moved closer to Lin Jinhui step by step. Just when he was about to comfort his daughter, Jiang Xiaoniang suddenly sobbed and said: "It's all the fault of Jinlan, a child who is ignorant and doesn't know her fate. What if?
The slave family tried to persuade her more the day before yesterday to prevent her from trying to steal Jinhui's limelight. It would have led to such a tragic disaster today because the slave family was useless and could not control that damn girl."
Hearing this, Lin Tingzhen's kind eyes suddenly changed, and his expression became excited again. He walked quickly back to Jiang Xiaoniang and said solemnly:
"Rou'er, don't talk nonsense. I allowed Jinlan to attend the family dinner because her third uncle wanted to take care of the child. After all, Jinxiao and his niece-in-law are not outsiders. They won't find fault. On the contrary, it's the evil person in the house.
Wife, it’s just that you don’t have the slightest tolerance for others. You also hurt Jinlan. It’s all my fault. It’s because I didn’t think well. I should have asked you to host the family banquet the day before yesterday, otherwise it wouldn’t have happened.
It’s a big disaster today.”
When Chu Nanzhi heard this, she almost spit on Lin Tingzhen's face.
According to the impression I had of him in the past, he was just following the crowd, but I never thought that as the leader of the Lin clan, he could say such a thing. It was really too much.
If she really had dinner with such a disgusting woman, she would definitely not step through the door of the Lin family.
It's no wonder that Lin Jinxiao's stepmother has been living in a bad country for many years and has brought shame to her people. He only thinks of solving the matter now, because he is afraid that he will be stuck in a gentle country and cannot move his legs.
Just when she was feeling resentful and sick, Jiang Xiaoniang said delicately: "Master, don't talk about sister like that. The slave family definitely doesn't believe that sister would harm Jinlan. Someone must want to frame her."
At this point, she suddenly raised her eyes to look at Liu Yun, Chu Nan Zhi and her daughter, and begged sincerely: "Da Lang should not have gone to the county government office at this time, right? I want to ask Da Lang for help."
Let him help with the investigation and make sure not to accuse my sister unjustly."
Although Liu Yun was a little dissatisfied with Miss Jiang, seeing how concerned she was about Mr. Zhou, she seemed to be sincere. She couldn't help but be moved and quickly replied: "My uncle has been out for a while, and I'm afraid he has already arrived at the Yamen by this time."
It’s in.”
It seems that the enmity between Jin Hui and Lin Sanniang is just a play between children and has nothing to do with her.
For a moment, Liu Yun began to doubt her judgment yesterday.
I'm afraid Lin Sanniang was really killed by the Zhou family.
Feeling that she had wrongly blamed Miss Jiang, Liu Yun suddenly felt guilty in her heart. She looked at her gently and comforted her softly: "With so many big things happening in the family, it's important for Mrs. Jiang to stay close to herself. My husband is not a fool."
As a person, you can make your own decisions regarding your eldest wife’s affairs.”
"Sister Liu's words are true, but now everyone thinks it was my sister who harmed Jinlan. The Nu family really can't stand by and watch my sister being wronged."
Jiang Xiaoniang turned to look back at Lin Tingzhen with tears in her eyes, and said in a deep tone: "Master, if the eldest lady hadn't been kind enough to take the slave family into the house, how could the slave family and Jinlan have such a place? Although Jinlan is not a sister,
Personally, but she has never treated Jinlan poorly, so naturally she will not murder this girl Jinlan."
After saying that, her voice trembled a few times, and she choked with sobs and said: "The only blame is that Jinlan is usually too arrogant. She has the love of the master, the queen, and the mother, but she doesn't know how to restrain herself, for fear of causing trouble.
She made others jealous and deliberately wanted to harm her."
Chu Nanzhi felt strange no matter what Jiang Xiaoniang said.
On the surface, it sounded like he was interceding for Zhou, but looking at Lin Tingzhen's face, he became increasingly embarrassed.
Moreover, this woman knew that Zhou had taken the initiative to plead guilty, but she was still thinking about exonerating others. This was not the behavior a mother who had just lost her daughter should have.
She didn't believe anyone could be so rational.
Unless, this woman doesn't like this daughter from the bottom of her heart.
And her words "I'm afraid it might make others jealous" were more like a pointed attack. It was not clear that she was trying to make Lin Tingzhen feel jealous of her legitimate son and legitimate daughter.
The patriarch only has these few children. Besides Jin Hui and his sister, who else dares to be jealous of his preference for Lin Sanniang.
He is really a powerful person, and his intentions are quite vicious.
