Even a fool could hear this series of pointed words. They were undoubtedly suspecting Chu Nanzhi of killing Lin Jinhong.
Chu Nanzhi did not deny it, but deliberately provoked: "Princess Yuanxi is so confident that she must have known the murderer. I am really looking forward to it. I want to see how the princess kills the enemy for my brother-in-law."
of."
"Don't be complacent, I can always find evidence that you committed the crime."
Tang Yuanxi said swornly.
When Mrs. Chen saw someone supporting her, she cried even louder: "Princess, I appreciate your kindness, but I'm afraid you won't be able to kill my son's enemies for me. The dignitaries in Luyan Port all want to
she."
"Mother-in-law, have you had enough trouble?"
Qin Xianglian couldn't bear it anymore and rebuked angrily: "If you hadn't been making unreasonable troubles all day long, why would Erlang bother to try to make up for his mistakes? Now he just wants to live a peaceful and stable life and bring harmony to his family, but you insist on making trouble.
The chickens and dogs are restless.”
As she spoke, she wiped away her tears, walked up to Chu Nanzhi, and apologized sincerely:
"Brother, sister-in-law, I know that this matter was definitely not done by my brother and sister-in-law. A few days ago, Erlang mentioned to me in private that he was instigated by someone to assassinate his sister-in-law in Puluo'an that day, but my sister-in-law not only did not
He escorted him back to the county government office and asked his brother to punish him. He only sent someone to escort him back to the village to take care of him, and also sent him money, food and brocade. The brother and sister-in-law repaid evil with kindness and were unwilling to expose his crime at this time. Even though the Nu family and Erlang were
No matter how heartless you are, you should still think of your sister-in-law."
After choking with sadness for a while, she pointed the finger at Mrs. Chen: "The Nu family would like to ask my mother-in-law, what should my brother and sister-in-law do to satisfy you? If she wanted to harm Erlang, she had a legitimate reputation in Puo'an, so why wait until now to secretly kill him.
"
"Yes, I look at the stab wounds on Erlang's body. I'm afraid his former enemies may not have deliberately killed him to seek revenge."
In his heart, Tiejiang Zhao thought that Chu Nanzhi was good at helping teach his son, and the reason why he had enmity with Lin Jinhong was to help the villagers vent their anger. No matter what, he could not let people doubt her, so he deliberately led the murderer elsewhere.
"impossible."
Mrs. Chen said loudly: "No one thought of harming Erlang before. Now that he has turned back as a prodigal and his brother has become a high official, who else dares to harm him? If he is not a rebellious son, who else would have such disgusting feelings about his wife?"
"
"You're such a stubborn old woman."
Xiaoerlang angrily took Chu Nanzhi's hand and tried his best to protect her: "Just now your daughter-in-law made it so clear, and you still want to accuse me, Aunt Nanzhi, are you still being unreasonable?"
"It's really laughable that Madam Chen is so stubborn about a truth that a child of several years old can understand."
Lin Jinxiao turned around, calmly opened Xiaoerlang's hand that was holding Chu Nanzhi, squeezed out a cold smile at him, then protected his wife tightly, and sternly scolded Madam Chen: "If you have any intention, Mrs.
If I want to harm you mother and son, with your numerous evil deeds over the years, I’m afraid ten lives would have been lost long ago.”
Lin Jinyun had been confused after losing her second brother, and she had been indifferent to the quarrel just now, but after listening to her second sister-in-law's words, she gradually became clearer.
Over the years, this family has never treated the brother and sister-in-law favorably. On the contrary, the mother and son have always wanted to take advantage of the brother's family.
But now that my brother is rich, he doesn't care about his past affairs and still provides food and clothing for the family.
She lived such a contented and worry-free life relying on her brother and sister-in-law. Although she had not felt much gratitude before, her jealousy towards the couple was gone.
Now that her mother was making such a fuss, she felt guilty.
Thinking back to the recent quarrels at home, Lin Jinyun finally calmed down and said from the bottom of her heart:
"My second brother and I were brought up by our mother since we were young. Remembering her hard work in raising our brothers and sisters on her own, we have obeyed her orders since we were children. But what has our mother taught us over the years? Just because my father was overworked.
If you become ill and die in office, you must make us remember that the people of the whole county owe us justice.
The second brother used to be diligent and motivated, but he was suddenly indulged by you and became idle and unruly in the countryside. A few days ago, my brother and sister-in-law sent people to bring money, food and brocade. I just thought he was coveting the wealth given by his brother and sister-in-law, and wanted to please his brother and sister-in-law.
The sister-in-law just said those words of wanting to change her past, and now the daughter sees that he really understands what is wrong with the second brother wanting to be respected like his father, and the mother has to force her hard, and now
Are you satisfied with driving him to a dead end?"
"You, you unfilial daughter, what are you talking about?"
Mrs. Chen was so angry that she gasped for air.
During this time, my son had been favored by his stepson and his wife, so he just followed them everywhere. However, his daughter and daughter-in-law actually started to disobey him, which was really annoying.
"Is the daughter talking nonsense or the mother simply doesn't want to see our family doing well?"
Lin Jinyun was also angry and retorted loudly: "You should know very well what mother has done these days. You forced the second brother to ask for a royal title from the elder brother. When the second brother refused, you threatened him with a knife.
He is forced to go out early and come back late all day long just to avoid you."
"No wonder Mrs. Chen chased Erlang in the village with a knife the day before yesterday, and threatened to kill this rebellious and unfilial son."
Liu Qingbo nodded in realization and said: "It turned out that it was because of this incident. Now that Erlang has really been killed, Mrs. Chen has falsely accused her parents-in-law. This intention is really hard to figure out."
"You, you."
Mrs. Chen was so anxious that she hesitated and defended: "Don't listen to this unfilial daughter's nonsense. No matter how cruel I am, a tiger can't eat its own child, how can I really kill my own son?"
?”
"yes."
Tang Yuanxi also frowned and looked at Lin Jinyun, trying to persuade her: "Jinyun, how could you wrongly accuse your mother without knowing what is right?"
"you shut up."
Lin Jinyun was already anxious, she didn't care about the princess or princess, she said angrily:
"Ever since you nobles of the imperial court came to Luyan Port, we have never had a peaceful life. First, the third uncle was poisoned and killed by King Dongjin, and now the second brother was killed. You have repeatedly instigated trouble, but that's all.
Want to harm my brother, brother-in-law,
Yes, although there is discord in our family, it is just the conflict between mother-in-law, daughter-in-law and aunt-in-law that occurs in every family. It is by no means an excuse for outsiders like you to use it as an excuse. Although I am just a country girl, I also understand the principle of being connected by the same spirit.
Even if my second brother is trying to please his elder brother and sister-in-law, there is nothing wrong with that. Doesn’t it mean that our family’s wealth and peace can’t be achieved not only through my brother, but also through outsiders like you, the Tang family, who have ulterior motives?”
"How could you say that to me? How could I become an outsider?"
Tang Yuanxi was sincere towards their mother and daughter, but her good intentions were regarded as a donkey's liver and lungs. She was so anxious that her blood surged: "My noble princess, I am willing to commit myself to your brother as a concubine. Am I going to harm you?"
"Who knows?"
Lin Jinyun snorted disdainfully: "I would rather be a poor man's wife than a high-class concubine. We country girls can understand this. Don't you think the princess understands it? My mother is a confused person and can't tell right from wrong."
I'm wrong, but I, Lin Jinyun, my second sister-in-law, and we Lin family members are not blind. Who was the second brother killed by? I believe that no matter how cruel my brother is, he is also the parent official of Pingning Prefecture and a member of the Lin family.
I will never sit idly by and let Princess Yuanxi comment."
Chu Nanzhi listened silently for a long time, feeling really shocked.
Although Lin Jinyun said these words more or less out of anger, she has indeed made a lot of progress in having such knowledge in the face of big issues of right and wrong.
Finally, my tolerance for them during these days was not in vain.
Just as Lin Jinyun said, even though she and Lin Jinxiao hated their mother and son, they never thought of killing them.
But if Lin Jinxiao is brought down one day, their future may not be predictable.
It seems that this sister-in-law has grown up now.
