Chapter 77
"I, the heir apparent of the Lu family, made a mistake in this matter, but it was also a ridiculous thing that the heir apparent did seven years ago. The kid's family was young and didn't know the severity, which led to a big mistake."
"Getting married is not easy, so please bear with me, everyone in the Lin family."
The person who spoke was the patriarch of the Lu family and the uncle of Marquis Wu Ding.
He is old, and although he does not hold an important official position, he is still considered a person of high status in the Lu family.
The Lu family also said, "We admit our fault, and we will punish you as we should. If you, the Lin family, open your mouth, the prince will never bargain."
Lin Yunyi couldn't bear it any longer, stood up angrily, bowed, and said, "If my father had known this kind of family tradition in the Lu family, he would never have agreed to let my sister marry her!"
"Having a concubine's eldest son before marrying a real wife - you, the Lu family, are committing fraud!"
These words were extremely serious, and he was coming from an unknown boy. The faces of the elders in the Lu family were very ugly.
The Lin clan leader pretended to be a little angry and scolded: "Brother Yi, sit down."
Lin Yunyi sat down with her sleeves fluttering and grabbed Mrs. Lin's sweaty hand.
The head of the Lin family said slowly: "Although what Brother Yi said is a little arrogant, it is the truth. Since the Lu family cheated on the marriage first, the prince has bullied my Lin family's daughter like this for a concubine. If we get married again, that's it. Enemy made."
The meaning of harmony is very clear.
Mrs. Lu felt dizzy and seemed to be about to faint.
Yan's mother quickly shouted: "Old Madam!" and pinched her person before waking him up.
The Lin family members were also nervous. It was important to be able to negotiate a reconciliation, but they couldn't make the old lady mad, otherwise the reputation of the Lin family would be damaged even if the word "filial piety" was suppressed. Lin Yunwan will not end well.
The leader of the Lin clan also asked: "If the old lady feels unwell, go back and rest! There is Mrs. Hou here, and you, the Lu family, don't worry too much about your children and grandchildren."
Mrs. Lu's tears came as she said: "My in-laws, how can I not worry about it."
"This kid Zhengliu is stupid. If you say it's a marriage fraud, we in the Lu family will accept it for the time being. But for a concubine to get divorced... People say it's better to demolish a temple than a marriage. Why? When I arrived at your Lin family, on the contrary..."
Mrs. Lin was shaking with anger. She, who was always gentle, said in a cold tone: "Is it because of a concubine? Is my daughter doing it because of a concubine?"
Lin Yunwan clutched the handkerchief in her hand. She was too far away from her mother, so she could only look at her.
Lin Yunyi patted the back of Mrs. Lin's hand.
Mrs. Lin wanted to continue, but she was out of breath and could not speak.
Lin Yunyi stood up again and bowed, saying: "My eldest sister has read poetry and books since she was a child. She was raised by her father. She has memorized "Women's Training" and "Women's Precepts" by heart. She has abided by etiquette since she was a child and has never done anything out of the ordinary."
"No one who has met my eldest sister has anything bad to say about her. She is gentle and virtuous, tough and open-minded. She can be called a good woman no matter which family she marries into."
"Old madam, if you want to say that my eldest sister cannot tolerate the concubine or the prince's stupidity because of her jealousy, then I will definitely offend you."
Mrs. Lu was stunned. She never expected that a twelve-year-old boy could be so articulate!
Lin Yunyi straightened his back, looked at the elders of the Lu family, and said with a serious face: "It's not uncommon for men to take concubines, but I always marry a wife first and then take a concubine. I have never heard of taking a concubine first and then taking a concubine." A man who takes a wife!”
"It would be fine if the prince was stupid and took a concubine first, but the Lu family asked the concubine to pretend to be a relative of Mrs. Lu, and keep her in the house to hide her from others."
"The adopted son of this concubine was secretly adopted into my sister's name."
"A concubine becomes a cousin, and a concubine becomes a legitimate son. I want to ask you, the Lu family, what is your plan?"
"The Lu family has plotted against my eldest sister for a bitch concubine and a bastard - the Lu family doesn't call it doting on the concubine and destroying the wife? This is doting on the concubine and destroying the wife!"
The Lu family members lowered their heads.
Everyone knew very well that if Lu Zhengliu and Mrs. Lu had not had plans for that bitch concubine, they would not have deceived their mistress to this extent.
If you think about it further...it's a matter of blood.
Doting on a concubine and destroying a wife is really not too much.
But the Lu family cannot afford such a heavy crime.
Mrs. Lu looked at the elders of the Lu family. No one had the words to refute, and no one dared to look at her.
After the prince did such a thing, he didn't communicate with them!
Now that I want them to help out, they really don't know how to talk to the Lin family.
Wei was so frightened that it took her a long time to understand what Lin Yunyi said.
She grabbed Lu Zhengliu's arm and asked in a low voice: "You, have you really thought about harming Yun Wan?"
Lu Zhengliu pursed his lips, clenched his fists, and said, "No."
He never meant to kill her.
The Lin clan leader stood up and said, "That's it for now. I think the two families should... make peace."
Wei Shi panicked.
She urged Lu Zhengliu: "Son, say something! Say it quickly!"
How can we reconcile?
The Wuding Hou Mansion cannot live without Lin Yunwan as its mistress!
Lu Zhengliu stood up, walked to Lin Yunwan, looked into her eyes, and solemnly swore to the sky: "I swear on the honor of the Lu family, I, Lu Zhengliu, have never thought about destroying my wife, never. If there is a lie in what I said, , I was struck by lightning from the sky, and I would not die a good death."
He didn't feel guilty at all when he said this.
Because that’s what he thought in one song.
Lin Yunwan's face was cold and she didn't look at him at all.
The Lu family members quickly helped and said, "No matter how confused the prince is, he will never be so unruly as to kill his wife."
"This is all risking our lives and the future of our Lu family. I don't think the prince's words are true."
"Your Majesty just did something stupid and didn't dare to tell your niece-in-law, so that's why he made this move."
"I still value you, my nephew-in-law, otherwise I wouldn't do such a thing."
"In the final analysis, it is still a misunderstanding."
Mrs. Lu also cried and said: "Old Marquis, I'm sorry for you. It's because I failed to teach my grandson well and protect my grandson's wife. I really failed to live up to your life-saving grace for the Lin family back then!"
Lin Yunyi smiled coldly.
Are you talking about the old lady's kindness?
He took out five ginseng sticks and said, "These are the five ginseng sticks that the old man lent to my Lin family. Although my father was not rescued back then, my Lin family still remembers them with gratitude."
"Since the old lady has repaid your kindness, I will repay your Lu family's kindness on my father's behalf."
"Old madam, please don't embarrass my eldest sister. I am the legitimate son of the Lin family. It is up to me to repay the Lin family's kindness. It has nothing to do with my sister!"
Lin Yunyi has such ambition, so the Lin family members must help him.
The head of the Lin family said: "They are all century-old ginseng. I remember that the old ginseng that the old marquis borrowed from the Lin family was ten-year-old ginseng?"
Lin Yunyi bowed and replied: "My Lin family can repay the kindness of the Lu family tenfold. But my eldest sister - must go home."
Mrs. Lu's face froze.
How could Lin Yunyi be so thoughtful! I thought of everything!
