After listening to Jiang Xiaoniang's words, before Chu Nanzhi could speak, Lin Tingzhen was dissatisfied and scolded her:
"How long has it been and you still want to plead for that evil woman? I think you are just blinded by lard. She just showed some small kindness and asked you to remember her gratefully for the rest of your life. Why are you doing this?
"
After a pause, his tone gradually became gentler, and he stared at Jiang Xiaoniang affectionately in front of everyone, and said with sincerity: "Rou'er, I have made you suffer in this house these years. You are gentle, dignified, and knowledgeable.
Generally speaking, not only me, but also all the elders in the clan have noticed that only you can take on the important task of being in charge of this family."
"."
Chu Nanzhi was stunned when he heard this.
What do you mean, you were imprisoned only after you got your wife, so you have to entrust a concubine with your middle income?
Lin Tingzhen's words also directly aroused Lin Jinhui's dissatisfaction.
He listened cautiously for a long time without daring to say a word. At this time, he couldn't help but vented: "What does father mean by this? Even if mother is really guilty, is father going to let a concubine take charge of this family for everyone to see?"
Is it your joke?"
"Shut up."
Lin Tingzhen picked up the cane from the ground and glared at Lin Jinhui angrily.
Jiang Xiaoniang was so frightened that she quickly stopped him and explained to Lin Jinhui in a panic:
"Jinhui, don't listen to your father's nonsense. Your mother is naturally in charge of this family. If it is your mother who harmed Jinlan, the slave family will not blame you mother and daughter. After all, Jinlan's fate was originally
The eldest lady saved her. If she really hates our mother and daughter, both Nujia and Jinlan would be willing to die to repay her kindness."
After speaking plaintively, she knelt down and prayed with tears in her eyes:
"Master, I really don't believe that my sister would treat our mother and daughter like this. I beg you to go to the county government office and ask the elder to interrogate him carefully. If it is really my sister who killed Jinlan, then the slave family will admit it, and it must be the slave family.
She has not done a good job in these years and has not disciplined Jinlan well, so she has resentment in her heart. From now on, the slave family is willing to become a nun, chant sutras and worship Buddha for her sister every day, and repay her original kindness."
"Bitch, it was this bitch who harmed you mother and daughter."
Lin Tingzhen was so angry that he gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, wishing he could kill Zhou immediately.
Seeing his beautiful concubine crying so hard, he had no choice but to swallow his anger and go to help Jiang Xiaoniang first.
Lin Jinhui was about to cry but had no tears. She was already sad because her mother was in prison, but this woman was still fanning the flames, making her father even more jealous of her mother.
For a moment, she completely lost her mind. She was so angry that she went up to tear Ms. Jiang apart with her hands. She twisted her mouth and cursed: "Jiang Xiaoniang, if you continue to pretend in front of your father, I will kill you now."
Upon seeing this, Liu Yun immediately stopped the impulsive Lin Jinhui and persuaded her: "Jinhui, you must not be rude."
"Tie up this damn girl for me."
Lin Tingzhen pointed at Lin Jinhui angrily: "You are such a disrespectful little girl, and it's all because of your mother who doesn't know etiquette."
He really regretted having such an unreasonable daughter. In comparison, he felt even more sorry for Jiang Xiaoniang and her daughter.
Jiang Xiaoniang is so understanding and generous, so it's fine that the mother and daughter don't appreciate it, but they still have the intention of murdering her.
"It's all because I'm too soft-hearted. I always let you mother and daughter do everything I want, so I pamper you into being so lawless."
He was so angry that he was about to instruct his servants to get Lin Jinhui, but Jiang Xiaoniang pulled him and persuaded him: "Master, don't blame Jinhui, the slave family knows that she feels bad now."
When she said this, she suddenly felt nauseated and vomited, and her whole body became limp and gradually felt weak.
Lin Tingzhen was so anxious that he quickly supported her and asked anxiously: "Rou'er, what's wrong with you?"
Jiang Xiaoniang calmed down and shook her head delicately: "The slave family is fine."
After answering, he looked at Lin Jinhui with warm eyes and said earnestly: "Jinhui, go home with your father quickly. Don't make your father angry anymore. He has been worried about your mother and sister for the past two days.
of."
As he said this, he felt another uncomfortable vomiting.
Chu Nanzhi noticed something was wrong. She was so nauseated and vomited. Could it be that she had something?
Jiang Xiaoniang's words may sound infuriating, but she behaves in a profound, generous, gentle and dignified manner, making it impossible for anyone to fault her.
At this time, seeing her sick look, Chu Nanzhi stopped in front of Lin Jinhui and pretended to be concerned: "I'm afraid Madam Jiang is not feeling well in some way. Uncle Clan, please stop arguing with Jinhui and let me take a look for her."
"
Jiang Xiaoniang immediately waved her hand: "Thank you, Nan Zhi, you are pregnant. There is nothing serious in my family."
Lin Tingzhen supported her tightly, and a look of joy suddenly appeared on his face: "I won't bother my niece-in-law anymore. Your Aunt Jiang is just pregnant. Just go back and rest."
Inadvertently glancing at Lin Jinhui, who looked dissatisfied, he lowered his face again and cursed bitterly: "Look at you, you damn girl. Your concubine misses you so much that she urged me to leave from Puluo Nunnery at dawn.
I hurried back and waited at the city gate for a long time. I was so tired when I returned home just because I was afraid that something would happen to you. Please take a look at what you mother and daughter have done."
Lin Jinhui was a little moved. She had never heard that Jiang Xiaoniang was pregnant. How could she be happy after going to Puluo Temple?
Unexpectedly, they had been waiting for him at the city gate for a long time, so they knew they were wrong and buried their heads silently.
Knowing that Jiang Xiaoniang was pregnant, Liu Yun also expressed pity and quickly advised: "Then the in-laws should take Mrs. Jiang back to rest as soon as possible."
Chu Nanzhi was worried that there was no reason to get involved in Zhou's case. No matter what the purpose of Jiang Xiaoniang's words just now, it gave him an opportunity.
Don't let this opportunity go to waste.
In this case, she would not be soft-hearted, and took advantage of the situation and said: "My aunt is now pregnant, so she still has to worry about raising the baby. It is not conducive to raising the baby if she has too many things in her heart. Otherwise, uncle, I will do it for her."
Go to jail and ask Mrs. Zhou, nominally acting as her lawyer, and ask the county government to re-investigate the case thoroughly, no matter what the outcome is, it will make my aunt feel at ease."
Such a logical statement on behalf of the Zhou family, even if it cannot change the original result, the Lin family members will only think that Jiang Xiaoniang is too kind and will not blame themselves for meddling in other people's affairs.
Lin Tingzhen looked at Jiang Xiaoniang hesitantly, but the woman nodded calmly: "This is the best, then I will trouble Nan Zhi to make this trip for Nu's family."
"You are Welcome."
Chu Nanzhi smiled warmly and said meaningfully: "I just hope that this trip will not disappoint my little aunt."
Although she didn't want to think in the direction she suspected, the intuition in her heart was guiding her in this direction more and more clearly.
No matter how carefully I recall this woman's previous words and deeds, she appeared to be gentle, dignified, generous, and even aloof from the world. Even the most hard-hearted person will be moved.
Combined with Lin Tingzhen's words, the conclusion we can draw is that everything Jiang Xiaoniang plans is for the position of the mistress of the house.
If she sacrifices a daughter to become the matron of the house, will she really feel at ease?
