"Mom, dad is still looking after you." In another courtyard, Dong Yuyao and Mrs. Liu were gloating about Mrs. Lin and Dong Yuzhen in the room.
"Hmph, looking at her appearance before, I thought she was very capable? She actually taught her daughter to dare to go against the Li family. I think the lesson of grounding is still light." Ms. Liu said with a curled lip.
"That's right, there's that Lin Zhu. He thinks he's so great, yet he dares to offend his uncle, and he doesn't get any good results from her." Dong Yuyao was very resentful of Lin Zhu's loss of face in the first place, and in addition, Lin Zhu always always
Giving things to Dong Yuzhen also made her jealous.
"What can that girl do? Don't worry about her now. After those people around her leave, you won't let you squeeze her into a round shape." Mrs. Liu was also dissatisfied with Lin Zhu. Every time Lin Zhu sent something, she would
Those given to Mrs. Lin or Dong Yuzhen by name could not be taken away by anyone else. Several times when Ms. Liu wanted to know what she had sent and wanted to see it, she was forcefully pushed back. From then on, she
I also hate Lin Zhu.
"Yes, mother." Dong Yuyao agreed with a smile on her face.
Lin Zhu and the others did not return to Linjia Village for the time being. Instead, they settled in Lin Zhu's house in the county town for one night. They wanted to say hello to Dong Yuzhen before leaving the next day, but they did not expect to hear the news that she was grounded.
"It's too much." Lin Zhu no longer had any good impressions of Dong Jisheng. Originally, for the sake of Dong Yuzhen and Mrs. Lin, Lin Zhu and the others did not want to argue with the county magistrate Dong Jisheng, who was protecting the Li family's affairs. Unexpectedly, they only thought about him.
His daughter was actually grounded by him, and the reason was that Dong Yuzhen was helping Lin Zhu deal with the Li family.
"Miss Lin, don't worry. Miss Dong will be released in a few days." Lu Mingtao said nonchalantly, but on his calm face, a dangerous light flickered from his eyes. Lu Mingtao was better than Lin Zhu
Think further. Dong Jisheng was obviously targeting Lin Zhu when he did this, so after they left, only Lin Zhu would be left unable to deal with Dong Jisheng.
Lu Mingtao frowned and thought for a while. It was actually easy to deal with Dong Jisheng. He was very concerned about his official career. As long as he hit him on this, his punishment would be immediate. As far as he knew, Dong Jisheng would do it every year.
Activities upward, hoping to go further or become an official in a better place. It takes a lot of money to please the superior officials, and his money was given by the Liu family and the Li family. Just do some tricks on the Li family
Kill two birds with one stone.
Of course, Lu Mingtao would not tell Lin Zhu what he thought. As long as she could see the final result, that would be fine.
On the other hand, not only was Lin Zhu concerned and anxious about Dong Yuzhen's suspension, there was another person who was also very concerned.
"Why was she grounded?" Chang Tianlei asked Lin Zhu anxiously, "Then how is she doing now?"
Regarding Chang Tianlei's question, Lin Zhu felt strange at first. How could he, who always quarreled with Dong Yuzhen, care so much about Dong Yuzhen? It didn't make sense. Lin Zhu looked at Chang Tianlei's expression. There was doubt in his eyes.
mean.
Chang Tianlei was a little uncomfortable being looked at by Lin Zhu, and his face turned red involuntarily. There was something wrong! This discovery made Lin Zhu a little excited. Haha, Chang Tianlei, who wore dark clothes all day long, actually also moved his heart.
But they are a bit too young, one is only sixteen and the other is only thirteen. It is too early to fall in love.
"How do I know this? You know now that I can never enter the magistrate's office again." Lin Zhu pretended to shrug helplessly. Chang Tianlei also understood what she said, but he was too concerned about Dong Yuzhen and ignored it.
That’s all.
Lin Zhu's probing gaze made Chang Tianlei dodge unconsciously. Little did he know that this would arouse Lin Zhu's curiosity even more. "No, why are you so concerned about Sister Zhen now? Didn't you always quarrel with her before?"
"We are not quarreling, we are just bickering." Chang Tianlei immediately retorted. As soon as he said the words, he saw Lin Zhu's smiling face. It seemed as if there was a villain in his head beating him, and she made him say something again.
I'm here, I really don't remember.
Seeing his remorseful look, Lin Zhu smiled unkindly in his heart. "Haha." Chang Tianlei's face turned even redder. He was embarrassed to let a girl five or six years younger than him see what he was thinking.
After staying in front of Lin Zhu, he ran out of Lin Zhu's room as fast as the wind.
"What's wrong with Tianlei?" Chang's mother came in from the outside and asked in confusion. She just met Chang Tianlei outside and wanted to say hello to him, but he didn't look back as if he hadn't seen him.
Gone.
"Mother Chang, he's fine." Lin Zhu said with a smile, "It's just that spring is coming soon, so he's a little irritable."
"Spring is coming soon?" Chang's mother looked at the weather outside. Although it hasn't snowed yet, it's already very cold. But it's not spring yet. The girl's words are really hard to understand.
Dong Yuzhen was banned and couldn't get out, and Lin Zhu was blacklisted by Dong Jisheng. At the moment of the dilemma, Zhang Manyun volunteered to ask her to come forward to see Mrs. Lin. Lin Zhu was very grateful to her for this.
"Thank you Sister Yun." Lin Zhu took her hand and said. "It's okay. I also like Sister Zhen very much. I am also very worried about her being wronged." Zhang Manyun wrote a greeting note and had it sent to the magistrate's office.
.
Because the power of the housekeeper in the magistrate's office fell into the hands of the Liu family again, the servants in the government also took advantage of the situation and turned to the Liu family's side. There were many people who fawned over the Liu family, and there was always someone who took the initiative to find out about Mrs. Lin and Dong Yuzhen.
Go and tell Mrs. Liu. The concierge received the invitation and did not give it directly to Mrs. Lin. Instead, he showed it to Mrs. Liu.
"Madam, this was sent by the concierge just now. It was said to be for over there." Ms. Liu's personal mother, Ms. Wang, stood in front of her and said softly. "Oh, I didn't expect that someone would come to see her after her power was taken away.
." Mrs. Liu slowly opened the greeting card and took a look at it, "Hey, the writing is good, but who is the Zhang family in the capital? I have never heard of such a person she knew before?"
Zhang Manyun handed the greeting card as a junior, so naturally he would not write his grandfather or his father's official position on it. Therefore, Mrs. Liu despised the greeting card.
"Go and tell the visitor that Mrs. Lin is ill and should not see guests. Please ask her to come again next time." Mrs. Liu waved her hand, and Mrs. Wang nodded understandingly and went down.
"Sick?" Lin Zhu and Zhang Manyun were really stunned when they received this answer. If they didn't get sick sooner or later, they would get sick later. However, Dong Yuzhen got sick when she was banned. Who are you kidding? "There must be something wrong here." They are well versed in house fighting.
Zhang Manyun said with certainty.
"Are you saying that Mrs. Lin is not sick and that the concierge is talking nonsense? How dare he?" Lin Zhu frowned. If this is true, then their mother and daughter's life in the magistrate's house will not be very good. It is too frustrating.
.
"That's more or less it. If the Liu family were in charge now, they would definitely not let people who know Mrs. Lin and Sister Zhen in easily." Zhang Manyun's words made Lin Zhu blush. "That's too much." Lin Zhu
He said bitterly, "Ms. Liu and her daughter are really the same.
"Don't worry, it's not a big deal, it can be easily solved." Zhang Manyun patted Lin Zhu's hand and said.
The next day, Dr. Zhang's greeting card was sent to the county magistrate Dong Jisheng. It stated that Mrs. Lin came here to visit because she was ill and she knew a little about medicine, so she asked the county magistrate to accommodate her.
Dong Jisheng was furious when he saw this greeting card. He had just given Mrs. Lin some face, but she pretended to be sick and had someone send the message to her door. Was this a slap in his face? He came angrily.
Mrs. Lin's yard.
Throwing the greeting card in his hand in front of Mrs. Lin, "What do you mean?" Dong Jisheng's tone was very bad.
Mrs. Lin picked up the greeting card and read it. She already understood that Lin Zhu and others were worried about their daughters, so they specially asked people to come in to see them. She was very moved. "Where did the master say this?
"Mrs. Lin put the greeting card on the table and looked up at Dong Jisheng.
"You're still asking me? There's actually an imperial doctor coming from outside. How capable are you?" Dong Jisheng said through gritted teeth. "Who are you doing this for? Are you so vicious and want people to know that I, Dong Jisheng, have wronged you?"
?”
Mrs. Lin's accusation against Dong Jisheng was a bit baffling, "There is something in what I said. I didn't send someone here. Is there some rumor outside that made you come to question me in such a rage?" Mrs. Lin didn't want to swallow her anger any longer.
"Isn't he really the one you wanted to slap me in the face?" Dong Jisheng was stimulated by her words, and he spoke arbitrarily, "I banned your daughter's feet, and you immediately asked someone to see you. What you are saying
Have I abused you?"
"My daughter?" Mrs. Lin stood up in confusion, "Okay, very good." Hao gritted his teeth and nodded, "I don't know about this matter. You want to find whoever you want, let him come in, or not.
Whether he comes in or not, it's all up to you." After saying that, Mrs. Lin ignored Dong Jisheng and went out to Dong Yuzhen's room. Dong Yuzhen is now grounded, and Mrs. Lin has nothing to do, so she often goes to her daughter's room to chat with her.
Relieve boredom.
Dong Jisheng looked at Mrs. Lin's retreating back, picked up the greeting card, threw it to the ground angrily, and stepped on it a few more times. Then he went out.
Dong Jisheng called the housekeeper and asked what was going on. The housekeeper trembled and told Dong Jisheng, who was still angry. Ms. Liu blocked the people who came to see Mrs. Lin and told Dong Jisheng that she was sick.
.
Only then did Dong Jisheng know who the culprit was? He was determined to teach Mrs. Liu a lesson, so that he could get out of this mood, but he also felt that his departure would definitely arouse Mr. Liu's dissatisfaction, and she would think that he was siding with Mr. Lin.
The other side blaming her, being partial and sorry for her, etc. would definitely fill his ears. So he did not dare to question Mrs. Liu, so he could only sit in the study and feel depressed secretly.
"Butler, go back to that person and invite the person who sent the greeting card that day to come and be a guest. Then you can inform the eldest lady." Dong Jisheng had no choice but to ask the butler to smooth over the situation for him. (To be continued. If you
