Chapter 153
Mrs. Lin is a person who does what she says.
After her birthday, she sent someone to find the old man whom the second room had kicked out before.
One is the wet nurse who took care of Miss Lin back then.
She is not as young as before. Now she no longer works as a wet nurse and is farming in the countryside.
When she arrived in front of Mrs. Lin, she was very clean and her black and white hair was held up with a silver hairpin.
The wet nurse lowered her head and said to Mrs. Lin: "The eldest lady...she...is all sick. How could I let her get up alone at night? But I slept so confused that day, and I couldn't help but wake up at night." have no idea……"
"I also thought about it later...how could I sleep so soundly...The people around my wife gave me a bowl of soup during the day, and I slept so soundly that day..."
"When I woke up, the bleeding on the eldest lady's head couldn't stop..."
"My wife has discouraged me because of this..."
The wet nurse was wringing her fingers, still feeling panicked.
Although she had been suspicious, there was no evidence, and she was working in a noble house, so what if she said it?
Mrs. Lin asked calmly: "Are you telling any lies?"
"If I find out there is a false word..."
"No! No! Old lady, really no!"
The wet nurse quickly waved her hands and knelt down to kowtow: "If I tell lies, there will be thunder and lightning!"
She cried and said: "I nursed the eldest lady in Xi Nian, and the first lady treated me so well... How could I let go of the eldest lady..." She covered her heart, and her crying didn't look fake.
She was frightened back then and felt a little aggrieved and couldn't speak out, but now she knows how to deal with it.
Mrs. Lin and Aunt Fan looked at each other and believed the wet nurse's words.
Aunt Fan came out and said very gently: "Follow me."
Take the wet nurse next door to freshen up and give her money.
The next person who appeared was the Taoist woman who came to tell fortunes.
"Mrs. Lin..."
She was still a Taoist woman. She was young and fairly good-looking at the time, with no adulterable features. But more than ten years later, she has a sinister look on her face and is very annoying when she raises her head.
Mrs. Lin said calmly: "Tell me, how did you calculate that Miss Lin's parents were destined to be defeated?"
"According to your opinion, my girl's horoscope is very evil, which is rare in decades. I believe you will not forget it. Now tell me something."
Daopo laughed sarcastically.
She looked at Mrs. Lin, and then at Lin Huabin, the second master Lin who was sitting down.
Aunt Fan has already told her that if she tells the truth, the Lin Mansion will forget the blame and give her a sum of money. If she tells lies... the Lin Mansion will not be merciful!
"Back to Madam, Mr. Lin Er, Miss Guifu is a miserable person, but she has not overcome her parents..."
Lin Huabin was furious: "You!"
"Then you said that my daughter defeated her parents!"
Dao Po said with a guilty conscience: "Second Master, you can't blame me! Yes, it was the Second Madam who gave me the money to tell me."
She looked at Mrs. Lin and wanted the old lady to save her.
Everyone had agreed before she entered the house.
Mrs. Lin glanced at Lin Huabin and said, "Sit down."
Lin Huabin sat down with a puff of sleeves.
Mrs. Lin asked her mother-in-law: "How much money did the second wife give you?"
The Taoist woman compared her hands with each other.
"Two hundred taels?"
Lin Huabin asked.
The Taoist woman said: "...How can I get so much, twenty taels?"
Lin Huabin's face was very gloomy.
Aunt Fan came in, and Mrs. Lin told her: "Take this out too."
Aunt Fan said: "Please come with me."
He also left with Tao Po.
Lin Huabin knew where the wet nurse had gone, and asked Mrs. Lin very angrily: "Mother, do you give money to such a person?!"
Mrs. Lin said calmly: "I will send her to the government today."
"I don't know how many people have been harmed. It would be a disaster to keep him alive. Let the government collect him and punish him well."
Lin Huabin nodded: "That's right."
Mrs. Lin chuckled, with cold eyes: "Now that you know how to punish evil and promote good, what have you been doing?"
Lin Huabin moved the corners of his mouth but said nothing.
He lowered his head even more and said softly: "...My son was also deceived."
Mrs. Lin smiled and said nothing.
She also asked Lin Huabin: "The wet nurse's investigation has not been clear yet, should we continue the investigation? Find all the maids and women who served Yun Wan in the past, and compare their confessions to see if the wet nurse is lying."
Lin Huabin said awkwardly: "No need."
What is going on? Can he still not see clearly?
Mother and son had nothing to say.
But Lin Huabin still couldn't bear to leave. He stood up, bowed, and asked: "...How does mother plan to deal with this matter?"
At this point in the interrogation, Zheng's guilt cannot be cleared away.
Although there was no trouble in the government, the mother was the mother-in-law, and she wanted to punish her daughter-in-law, so no one could say anything.
Mrs. Lin laughed angrily: "Second brother, do you mean you don't want to deal with the Zheng family anymore?"
"of course not!"
Lin Huabin argued: "She can't be a legitimate mother, and you, as a mother-in-law, should punish her. But..."
He said: "She is the head wife after all. How can she take care of the house if she loses her face? Yun Wan and Yunjiao are not young anymore, and she still has to arrange marriage arrangements for their two children. The son is already shameless enough, and now he makes a fuss... …”
He said with a grimace: "My son has really become Jiang Qian's laughing stock."
"Please mother, please have mercy."
Lin Huabin bowed deeply and was unwilling to get up unless Mrs. Lin relented.
Mrs. Lin let out a long sigh, got down from the chair, and said coldly: "I can't control you anymore. The Lin family has been separated for a long time. I will live with your eldest brother before I get involved in your family." I'm afraid my wife's hands are too long."
Lin Huabin didn't speak. When the old lady had passed by him, he said, "What did mother say? How could it be possible?"
"You should take care of yourself and think about how Lingxiang was able to avoid so many people and get in front of me."
After saying that, Mrs. Lin walked away.
Lin Huabin left the old lady's place and returned to his house with a calm expression.
He went to find Zheng.
Not long after... there was a rumor from the Lin family that the second wife had been slapped by the second master.
"Girl, the wet nurse wants to see you. Are you willing to meet her?"
Aunt Fan came over to ask for the wet nurse.
Lin Yunwan hesitated for a moment and said, "Let me see you."
Aunt Fan took the wet nurse to see Lin Yunwan.
The wet nurse was very surprised when she saw Lin Yunwan. She cried and said, "The eldest lady looks so good... If Madam knows, she will feel at ease."
The past is like a blur. She has been away from the Lin family for more than ten years, and it is no longer appropriate for her to stay.
After kowtowing to her old master, she left.
Lin Yunwan told Xiruo: "Give her a gift."
Xiruo had brought a bag of money to the wet nurse in advance, sent the wet nurse out personally, and also asked about Miss Lin's biological mother and dowry.
