Chapter 131 Why is life so joyful, and why is death so painful?
Seeing that Gu Jiu took out so many silver notes, the first one with five thousand taels was written on it, Lin was shocked. While rejecting it, he asked in surprise: "What does this mean?"
Gu Jiu stuffed the silver notes to her and smiled and said, "This is the money that Aunt Fang has compensated. Although she took it out of the money house, it was mostly plundered from you over the years. Now it is the property that is returned to the original owner."
In recent years, Fang Qing has been plundering more than 100,000 yuan in silver and money from Lin's family. After all, those land shops and Lin's own dowry have been controlled by her for so many years, so she must have been plundering them.
Today, when Gu Jiu said he wanted 100,000 taels of silver, she never thought about taking the money herself, so that Lin would lose less.
After all, the blood that Fang Qing sucked in was not so easy to spit out. Even if the shop and other items were returned to her, the loss of money would not come back.
She took this opportunity to make a fuss, which was also a revelation for Lin's family.
After hearing Gu Jiu's words, Lin didn't know what to do for a moment. She sighed and gave Gu Jiu a smile and gave the silver note again, saying, "Good child, I am very happy to treat your mother's heart. But this money is what you want to come back. Besides, Jin Yuzhai was damaged this time, so I will also go to comfort the people's hearts after taking this money."
After all, he is a little girl who is less than sixteen years old. She is so sensible, how can Lin dislike her?
If it was said that it was just to let the couple live a good life, then now, Lin really treats Gu Jiu as his family.
This girl is rare in sincerity.
Lin repeatedly refused, and Gu Jiu put the bill away and said, "Then I will keep it for my mother first."
After hearing what she said, Lin smiled: "Not mentioning these things, they are my things. In the future, it will not be your husband and wife."
When she said this, she touched Gu Jiu's head again and said in a gentle voice: "You are wronged today. Zheng'er's child has always been filial. If you are not speaking properly today, don't blame him."
Even if Qin Zheng comes forward, Lin still knows who Mrs. Qin is.
Upon hearing this, Gu Jiu smiled and shook his head and said, "The prince is very good, I didn't let me suffer any grievance."
Not only did he not suffer any grievances, but after Qin Zheng left, Gu Jiu felt it was so satisfying.
Seeing her like this, Lin felt relieved. What she was afraid of was that Qin Zheng was just watching the wall as before, which was what made people feel cold.
Lin had just taken the medicine, but he became a little tired after a while. Seeing this, Gu Jiu sat down for a while, then stood up and said goodbye.
But before leaving, he quietly placed the silver note under the chair.
The chair was pushed under the table and blocked by the tablecloth, which happened to be a dead corner.
After seeing Gu Jiu off, Qiao Rui came in to clean up the room and saw the stack of silver notes. She trembled her hands for a moment and said, "Madam, who put this out? Why are you so much money?"
Each of these is five thousand taels, which is so thick!
Seeing this, Lin was stunned and then said helplessly: "This child..."
She thought Gu Jiu had already put it away, but who knew that she had left it for her.
Qiaorui didn't know what happened, but after Lin said briefly, she smiled in surprise and said, "Mrs. Prince is really kind, and treats you sincerely."
Not to mention anything else, just talking about the evil things that Fang Qing instructed people to do, if there is any right or wrong, I am afraid that I will blame Lin directly - after all, this shop belongs to her, and the boss is also her.
But not only did the prince's wife not do this, she also stood up for Lin's family.
Thinking of this, she told the story of Gu Jiu's question that night, and finally said: "I didn't plan to tell you about this matter. The prince's wife wanted me to keep it secret. But now I feel that if she is not known, wouldn't she live up to her?"
Lin didn't expect that there was still such a thing, but now he was silent when he heard it.
Seeing that his master's expression was unpredictable, and there was a little sadness in the meantime, Qiaorui couldn't hold on to her, so she asked tentatively: "Madam, are you okay?"
After a while, Lin spoke just now, but looked at Qiaorui and asked, "You said, am I doing something wrong?"
Qiao Rui didn't understand what she meant for a moment, so she asked softly: "What does Madam mean?"
Lin sighed, looked at the sky gradually getting dark outside, and murmured: "In the past, I always thought that as long as I could bear it, I would have chosen to bear it no matter what, I chose to bear it. Not only did I bear it myself, but also told them to bear it too. But what was the result?"
She has never done anything out of the ordinary in her life.
When she was a daughter in the boudoir, she followed her parents' teachings; after getting married, she put her husband's family first in everything; but after half of her life, she found that she not only got nothing, but also paid for the children.
"In recent years, the Qin family has been causing trouble for me, but I was just bullied myself. Even Zheng'er and his wife were beaten up. Now even a little girl knows to stand up for me, but I am huddled and bullied. You think, am I doing something wrong?"
How old is that little girl Gu Jiu? Everyone knows that she has vented her anger for her. Does she really have to endure it?
Hearing Lin's self-deprecating words, Qiao Rui comforted her softly: "Madam, you are so kind, but those people are aggressive and force you to retreat. This is not your fault."
She has been with Lin for nearly ten years and knows what kind of character Lin has. Now she feels sad when she sees her.
Qiaorui's comfort did not dissipate much of Lin's sorrow. She pinched her eyebrows and said, "Forget it, you go out first, let me calm down for a while."
Seeing her like this, Qiao Rui didn't dare to say anything else. She helped her sit in front of the soft collapse, poured her hot tea, and said, "I'm waiting outside. If you have something to do, call me. I'll listen at any time."
Upon hearing this, Lin couldn't help laughing and waved his hand and said, "Okay, go ahead."
He is obviously younger than Zheng'er, but he is so decent in his actions, and he always has the shadow of a wet nurse in his words.
When Lin thought of this, his expression became darker.
Hutie, I've been away for so long...
She thought about it this way and couldn't help but feel uncomfortable and started to cough.
As soon as Qiaorui walked to the door, she heard Lin's coughing so shockingly. She quickly came back quickly. While calming her down, she asked, "Madam, what are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Lin coughed for a long time before she felt that the depression in her chest was less. Only when she raised her eyes, she was shocked when she saw Qiaorui: "Madam, you... are bleeding!"
Lin's lips were covered with blood, and when it was dark, it looked even more bloody.
Seeing Qiaorui panic about to invite the doctor, Lin stopped her and said, "No need, I know very well my own body."
"But, why do you cough up blood? Madam, wait for me for a while, and I'll call the doctor now!"
Qiao Rui's eyes were filled with tears, but Lin grabbed her hand: "Okay, I'm not in a hurry, why are you anxious?"
"lady!"
Qiao Rui stomped her feet in a hurry, but when she saw Lin's expression, she realized it: "Did you cough up blood before? Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Upon hearing this, Lin patted her hand, calmed down, and chuckled, "What can I change if I told you?"
When she said this, she said calmly in Qiaorui's helpless expression: "I can't live long."
"Don't talk nonsense!"
Qiaorui's nose became sore and her eyes became redder. She bit her lip and said, "I will go out to find a doctor for you. This doctor is not reliable, so let's change another one!"
Why did that quack doctor treat his wife even worse?
Seeing Qiaorui's appearance, Lin laughed and said, "It's said that I have become a doctor after a long time of illness. I have been lingering in sickness for many years. Don't you know your own situation?"
Recently, she is often weak and always has a premonition that she can't wake up.
She thought, she was probably at the end of her journey.
"I am nearly forty years old this year. I was born in the border area and raised in Shangjing and married in the Duke's Mansion. Although I was not a long life, I also enjoyed wealth and honor on earth. Even if I die now, why would I be reluctant to let it go?"
When Lin said this, he laughed softly and sighed indefinitely: "Besides, life is not as good as it is, why is death suffer?"
