"Stop it!" A somewhat old but energetic voice came from the door of the flower hall.
Everyone in the hall was startled when they heard this voice. When they looked towards the door, they couldn't help but sucked in a breath of cold air, especially the women who were about to take someone, they even retracted their hands and feet.
Mrs. Lin was accustomed to rest for a while after lunch, but because Mr. Lin had specifically reminded her to prepare the return gift for Lin Zhu, she ordered her servants to prepare it carefully.
Unexpectedly, before I was ready, I heard from a servant that several Miss Sun from the Lin family had all gone to Lin Yuewei's yard.
At that time, Mrs. Lin thought that the younger generations of her family were just going to show their friendship as landlords. Unexpectedly, it didn't take long for her granddaughters to have a dispute with Lin Zhu.
Mrs. Lin had no intention of coming to Lin Yuewei's small courtyard in person. However, thinking of the Zhao family who was closest to here, her usual behavior and her previous behavior in her house, which clearly showed her disgust towards Lin Zhu, made her
Mrs. Lin doubted whether she could handle disputes between several little girls impartially.
She wanted to ask her mother in charge to step in for her, but she remembered Mr. Lin's attitude, so Mrs. Lin came over in person. On the way, she also met the eldest lady Yang and the second lady Wu who had also received the news.
I thought the matter wouldn't be too serious, it was just a quarrel between a few girls.
But Mrs. Lin never expected that when she arrived at the door, this was the situation inside. Mrs. Zhao pushed Lin Qinglan down on the table at one side, and several tough women were attacking Lin Zhu and the people around her.
After tugging and tugging, Mrs. Lin suddenly became furious and shouted loudly.
When Mu Jingwen saw that the ladies had stopped, she protected Lin Zhu and found a place to stand far away from them. She watched all the Lin family members with cold eyes.
The arrival of Mrs. Lin shocked Mrs. Zhao. She didn't expect that such a small thing would move her heart. She quickly took a few steps forward and wanted to help Mrs. Lin sit on the main seat.
However, Mrs. Lin ignored her and let the people around her support her as she walked to the main seat and sat down. Mrs. Yang and Mrs. Wu also walked into the room with people filing in and found a seat to sit down.
Several young ladies from the Lin family had not dared to sit in their seats, and they all stood aside. They lowered their heads slightly, trying to reduce their presence as much as possible. They also understood that since the elders appeared, the matter must not be trivial.
"Hiss." The maid gently supported Lin Qinglan, but accidentally caused her to touch the wound, which made her cry out in pain.
"What's wrong with Lan Yatou?" Mrs. Lin asked aloud. The second lady Wu had already signaled the maid to bring Lin Qinglan to her.
Mrs. Wu looked with some distress at the way her daughter was protecting her left arm. There were drops of sweat falling on her fair face. It looked like she was in serious pain.
"Mom, it's better to let the doctor take a look. Lan'er seems to have hurt her arm." Wu said anxiously.
"Hurry and ask for the doctor." Mrs. Lin immediately ordered her servants.
"What's going on?" Mrs. Lin looked at Mrs. Zhao majestically. She was not the only one who saw how Lin Qinglan was injured. Mrs. Wu also saw it.
"Mom, it was that country girl who hurt Xue'er first. I accidentally touched Qinglan in my hurry." Zhao answered evasively, glaring at Lin Zhu fiercely as she spoke.
"Four girls, come here." Mrs. Lin listened to Zhao's words and glanced in Lin Zhu's direction.
Lin Qingxue did not want to be in front of Mrs. Lin at this time. Others didn't know what happened just now, but she knew it very well. She was at fault first. If she said it, her grandmother would definitely be angry with herself.
However, under this situation, how can we not get over it?
Lin Qingxue had no choice but to hold her injured wrist while walking to Mrs. Lin's side with an aggrieved face.
"Where's the injury?" After all, it's her beloved granddaughter, so Mrs. Lin is of course very concerned about her.
"I'm making grandma worry." Lin Qingxue gritted her teeth and handed over her right wrist. There were several obvious finger marks on it, as well as some bruises.
Although Mu Jingwen's hands were not very strong, Lin Qingxue's skin and tender flesh were not strong enough to withstand it, so the scars on her wrists looked a bit scary.
Mrs. Lin was also surprised, how could the injury be so serious. She raised her head and glanced at Lin Zhu, and found that she did not have any guilty expression, but was standing there confidently.
"Miss Lin Zhu, can you tell me what's going on?" Mrs. Lin was not angry at Lin Zhu. She wanted to give Lin Zhu a chance to explain, hoping that there was still room for maneuver.
Lin Zhu frowned slightly when he heard Mrs. Lin's question, but soon let it go. He glanced at Mother Zhao standing in the corner and Lin Qingping, who had a frightened expression on her face, and raised the corner of her mouth sarcastically.
.
She signaled to Mu Jingwen that she no longer needed to stand in front of her, and took a few steps forward. She looked at Mrs. Lin firmly and said, "Old Madam, there are some things here. It's not good for me to tell you. Don't you want to
Would you like to listen to what these ladies have to say first?"
Lin Zhu's eyes paused for a moment on Lin Qingxue, Lin Qingping and Lin Qinglan respectively.
Following her gaze, Mrs. Lin also looked at the three people. Lin Qingxue and Lin Qingping both lowered their heads, while Lin Qinglan's face was a little pale because of her arm, and her eyes were slightly closed, as if she was trying to hold back.
pain.
"You should speak first." Mrs. Lin was afraid that if her child spoke first, it would leave a patronizing impression.
"Okay." Lin Zhu smiled and nodded, "First of all, this fourth lady's wrist was indeed grabbed by my people."
"Mother, you see she has admitted it. You have to seek justice for Xueer." Mrs. Zhao interjected before Lin Zhu finished speaking. She wiped the corners of her eyes with her fingers and a handkerchief.
The non-existent tears and artificial look made Lin Zhu feel a little sick.
"I haven't finished speaking yet. Can the fourth lady's mother wait a moment?" Lin Zhu also had no good impression of Zhao.
"You, how dare you be so rude." Zhao was so angry at Lin Zhu's words that she stuttered a little.
"Haha," Lin Zhu laughed softly. "It seems that I really need to learn the rules again. I was actually called uneducated and ignorant of etiquette by mother and daughter twice in one day."
As soon as Lin Zhu said these words, Mrs. Lin, the first lady Yang and the second lady Wu all frowned to varying degrees. It seemed that something complicated had happened in this room.
"From the Third Family, please let Miss Lin Zhu finish what she has to say." Mrs. Lin's tone was no longer gentle, but a little sharper in it. The look in her eyes towards Lin Zhu also had a hint of warning.
Lin Zhu looked at the people around her. She originally wanted to calm down the matter, but for some reason, the people in the room slowly aroused her anger. First Lin Qingxue, then Lin Qingping and Zhao,
In the end, Mrs. Lin's eyes also made her very uncomfortable.
The people here should all be relatives of the predecessor, or have some relationship with him. Even if it was just to vent his anger on the poor child of his predecessor, Lin Zhu was ready to let go.
"In this case, I will start from the beginning, lest everyone knows it but doesn't know why." Lin Zhu was not afraid of the momentum of the people in front of him. "I met with several ladies and found that Yue Yue's personal mother was actually here to accompany me.
As I was thinking about it, I thought about letting her take care of Yue Yue. I didn’t want Miss Lin Si and Miss Lin San to think that I was interested in Lin Yue.
I felt a little unhappy when the people in the government were gesticulating. And because of my upbringing, Miss Lin Si gave me a good demonstration, including how to slap people in the face. However, because of Jingwen beside me,
Sister, it was my first time to visit a wealthy family and I was a little nervous, so I grabbed the wrist of Miss Lin Si who was a little close to me."
Speaking of this, Lin Zhu paused, glanced at Lin Qingxue and Lin Qingping, whose expressions were obviously unnatural, and then continued, "Miss Lin Fourth's mother rushed in quickly. After hearing Miss Lin Third say that I hurt Lin
After the Fourth Miss, I ignored the Second Miss Lin who wanted to explain.
, pushed her to the table aside, and wanted the servants to catch us and tie us to the backyard. Fortunately, the old lady came in time, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous." After saying that, Lin Zhu made a slight gesture to Old Madam Lin.
He bowed his head and returned to stand beside Mu Jingwen and others.
And gave Minglu and others a comforting smile.
"Is that so?" Mrs. Lin's eyes flashed coldly. She felt that Lin Zhu didn't have the guts to lie in this situation. Since she was not lying, the truth almost made her feel the blood surge in her chest.
The breath is held in the chest.
Lin Qingxue and Lin Qingping didn't dare to speak, they just stood there with their heads lowered. When Zhao's mother heard Lin Zhu mention her, her legs trembled with fright. And all the ladies from the Lin family in the room who were not mentioned by name also
Be silent.
There is no need to ask any more questions. Lin Zhu did not lie. She did not expect that things would turn out like this. Mrs. Lin's face turned red with anger. She thought that the children she educated were very sensible and polite.
Unexpectedly, in this situation, she understood that the real situation under the surface was so unbearable.
A person who prides herself on being a lady is actually willing to hit someone, and someone who is always gentle and gentle actually spreads rumors and lies. What makes her most intolerable is that he often talks to her about how he is a loving mother, but even his own son is raped.
I didn’t even realize that a mere servant dared not do his duty!
Mrs. Lin suppressed the anger in her heart and glared at Mrs. Zhao and others. She said to Lin Zhu in a calm tone, "Miss Lin Zhu has been wronged. I am not strict in discipline."
Lin Zhu knew that this was Mrs. Lin's greatest apology, but she didn't want to do anything about it, so she accepted it as soon as she could. "I'm flattered that Mrs. Lin is like this. My original intention was just that I didn't want to go overboard."
The more I feel wronged. Although I haven't spent much time with him, I know that he is a kind and loving child."
Lin Zhu has expressed his attitude, and it depends on Mrs. Lin. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.
