Chapter 18: There is no use in using clever words or tricks
Liu Rushi said, "Okay! That's it. Where are you going to start?" He wanted to see if this girl was good at what she did.
Lin Zhixiu said, "The house is in a lot of chaos right now, and I don't know who is available, so I must find Butler Lin first."
Lin Feng stood there, his mouth moving but no sound came out. He knew that it was his aunt who had imprisoned Butler Lin and his family... because his young servant Shun'er once secretly told him that Shun'er
His father and brother, with a few people, arrested the disobedient servants at home. At that time, he was immersed in the shock and grief of his parents' death. He thought that some servants took the opportunity to cause trouble, so he didn't think deeply about it.
Now I understand, who are these disobedient servants? They are Butler Lin's family... At this moment, his hair has turned pale, and his palms are sweaty. He feels that he should say something, but he is afraid that if he says it, his aunt will be exposed...
…
When Lin Zhixiu saw his virtue, he opened his mouth and wanted to scold him! But he thought of his tragic ending in the previous life, so he softened his heart and said to him, "Brother, my father only has two children. Since childhood, he has been very fond of the two of us."
Love is the same. Even if my father didn't like Aunt Huang, he never abused her. My mother didn't want my father to have a concubine, but she still made Aunt Huang well-fed and well-fed and never criticized her. Is there anyone in the family who doesn't respect you and Aunt Huang?
?When you were outside, you must have also heard about how those aunts and concubines lived. Although you were with Aunt Huang, it was your father who initiated you when you were three years old. The first person to teach
What you memorized is the Three-Character Sutra, and the first sentence is that at the beginning of life, human nature is inherently good...I wonder how much Young Master Lin has listened to it? What do you think about it now?"
Lin Feng blushed and said: "Uncle Liu, sister, I have been confused these days. I only know that my parents are gone, and I can't care about other things... But I vaguely heard that my aunt asked Dahe to take her with her.
I imprisoned a few servants who were disobedient and stole property into a private courtyard in the countryside."
Master Liu said, "Lin Feng, good boy, my uncle saw you right. Xiu'er, let someone bring the housekeeper back first."
A few people sat down, and Lin Zhixiu finally stopped having diarrhea. The little girl didn't dare to let her eat too much at once, so she cooked some porridge and made some red bean candy cake, and ate small and frequent meals to let her slowly recover.
Stomach.
At noon, Manager Lin came back with his wife and children. He had obvious injuries on his face and head, and his clothes were torn and covered in dirt. When he saw Lin Zhixiu, he knelt down and cried, "Girl..."
Lin Zhixiu said, "Uncle Fu, you have suffered."
Butler Lin wiped his tears and shook his head, "Girl, these are all trivial matters. However, the person in charge of us said that he asked me to think carefully about the property of the master and his wife. I can't take care of the funeral at home these days. When my aunt asks later,
When the time comes, I must tell you everything. Those belongings must be handed over to my aunt. Otherwise, my whole family will be sold."
Lin Feng's face turned red with embarrassment as he listened.
After Butler Lin finished speaking, he started to cry again, "She acted like this just after the master and madam were gone... There are so many people down there following her to cause trouble, ugh... It's pitiful that the master and madam treated them so well."
Lin Zhixiu looked at him and felt sad, "Uncle Fu, please stop crying now. The house is in a mess now. If it weren't for Uncle Liu, I might not have been able to rescue you so easily. As soon as you come back, hurry up and clean up the house."
Take over the matter. I have locked up Aunt Huang and Mrs. Huang now. Take stock of the people and look at everything related to them first. Keep the family members’ deeds of sale and keep an eye on the family. If there are not enough manpower, go first
Ask Uncle Liu's family to borrow some. If that doesn't work, go to a teahouse and restaurant and take out all the tea and meals. Don't be afraid of spending money, everything must be safe. Another step, Aunt Huang moved the things in her father's study to the yard next to her.
Now, send a few reliable people to watch carefully and don’t lose anything. Let’s take stock later.”
The housekeeper Lin Jianfu grew up with his father. He accompanied his father all over the world for so many years and was very loyal. In the last life, his family disappeared without a trace. When the uncle came and asked about him, Aunt Huang and
Mrs. Huang said that he ran away with his property and had already reported it to the police. The uncle was a simple man and did not ask any further questions.
When Butler Lin heard Lin Zhixiu's instructions, he couldn't help but be surprised. When did his Miss Jiaojiao have such an idea? She couldn't help but feel much more at ease, as if she had a backbone. He first kowtowed incense to the master and his wife, and then burned it.
After getting the paper, I started to do housework.
Lin Feng stood there stupidly. He really had no idea what he had done to his aunt. Over the years, Aunt Huang had privately complained against her father, saying that he was cold-hearted and could not save her life even if she wanted to.
. Said that the wife was putting on an act and doing well on the outside, but in reality she was jealous and mean in private.
She also often told him that all the money her father earned was handed over to his wife. In the end, it was not clear whether it was the wife's dowry or the family's property. He was the only son in the family, and he had to inherit the family business. But he was the only son in the family.
If all those properties were included in Madam's dowry, they would be taken away by Lin Zhixiu when she gets married! It's clear that he can only inherit an empty shell, so aren't the two of them at a loss?
He also said that Lin Zhixiu is too picky. She has top-notch clothing, food, housing and transportation. She only wears the best clothes once, which is very extravagant. She is more exquisite than the eldest daughter of the eldest son of the capital. Money is spent like running water.
He's still so ignorant! He might be a drag on him in the future.
Under the influence of many years, he also felt that his father and mother treated him differently from his sister. He did not dare to resent his father, and he only respected his mother as a legitimate mother, but he did not have much respect for this spoiled sister.
Feeling good.
Now, my father has passed away on the line of duty. My mother...could it really be the fault of my aunt? What should I do?
He was sweating all over his body, and the muscles all over his body ached due to tension. Moreover, he felt that the eyes Butler Lin was looking at him were full of disgust and wariness.
Lin Zhixiu turned to Lin Feng and said, "Let Butler Lin settle down the family affairs first. In the evening, I will ask Aunt Huang together with you. Tomorrow morning, we will go together to interrogate Mrs. Huang. Anyway, we should do everything together, don't meet alone."
Uncle Liu, if you have anything to do, go ahead and get busy. If there is any news, Xiu'er will have someone tell you at any time."
Master Liu saw that Lin Zhixiu had arranged it so well and couldn't help but nodded secretly. Now these two are orphans. Although they have grandparents and grandparents... after all, they have to be strong. He also gave a few instructions and left a confidant in front to help.
Just left first.
Lin Zhixiu was so tired that her whole body ached, so she went back to the house and slept for a while, but her sleep was not sound. There was chaos outside, but it didn't bother her. It was only in the evening that she calmed down.
In the evening, Lin Zhixiu called Lin Feng to interrogate Aunt Huang. Lin Feng didn't know how to face it, so he hesitated to enter the house and only said to listen outside.
Lin Zhixiu didn't force herself and entered the house where Aunt Huang was being held.
After a long time, Aunt Huang also recovered. She laughed to herself, what are you afraid of? I didn't kill the person! The worst is the current situation, of course, we can strive for better.
When Lin Zhixiu entered the room, she saw Aunt Huang sitting on a broken stool, as if she was sitting on a mahogany chair.
Seeing Lin Zhixiu come in, Aunt Huang was surprisingly calm.
Lin Zhixiu asked, "Aunt Huang, do you have anything to confess? If you take the initiative to speak out, your guilt will be lighter."
Aunt Huang smiled lightly and said, "Lin Zhixiu... I didn't expect that you who usually only eat, drink and have fun would be able to do this. That's all, I admit defeat. Now, I want to talk to you calmly."
Lin Zhixiu sat on the moved stool and said nothing.
Aunt Huang said, "Lin Feng is out there, right? I've been teaching him for many years, but he still doesn't have your temperament and methods, ha... To make a long story short, I guarantee that what I'm saying now is the truth: First, your mother's death, and
I have nothing to do with it! I didn’t do anything! I didn’t instigate or instigate Aunt Huang. Although Aunt Huang has always been by my side, she is not mine and does not completely listen to my words. I can’t go into detail about this. So.
, if you want to hate me because of this matter, I can only say... you hate the wrong person. You will suffer big losses in the future because of your hatred of the wrong person. Second, I moved the adult's study, and I am the housekeeper.
Deducted. The reason why I did this was for Lin Feng."
Lin Feng stood outside, listening numbly.
"On weekdays, I told Lin Feng that your life is too luxurious and your family's money is spent so much, there will be problems in the future. I am right! In fact, I am not very clear about many things, but I know, Sir
No more, the family's property... even if Madam is still there, she can't protect it! So I decided to take action myself, hide it first, and hand it over to Lin Feng when he grows up. Now, Sir and Madam... That's it, girl.
...The first thing you have to do now is to protect yourself. What I have to do is to protect Lin Feng. All this cannot be expected from the Lin family in the capital, or even the Lin family in the capital that needs to be defended."
Lin Zhixiu thought, Aunt Huang is really not stupid.
"So, girl, you understand all this, and I will no longer plot against you. If I have offended you, I hope you will take it for Lin Feng's sake and don't argue with me. You and Lin Feng are the closest friends in the world now."
People."
Lin Zhixiu looked at her silently. You are capable of advancing and retreating, bending and stretching. You have two frank eyes, a sincere expression, and clever words. You are really changeable. Hehe, I just couldn't see through the last life, so I relied on you.
, but what do you get? Aunt Huang, I am no longer the twelve-year-old Lin Zhixiu.
Aunt Huang didn't know what she was thinking, and continued, "What Auntie told you is very important. Please listen carefully: Aunt Huang can't stay! And we can't go back to the capital with Mr. Lin. Just here.
Here, I will observe mourning for you and your wife for three years. Girl, please cooperate with your aunt to fool Mr. Lin away. Let’s distribute the family property. Madam’s dowry will all belong to you. My property, Lin Feng is his son, he
Take the big head! I will only take what I have saved over the years and not touch the rest at all. This suggestion is very fair, isn’t it? Then we divide the things and let each of us do our own thing without disturbing each other. There is Mr. Liu, there is
Butler Lin, don't worry, no one can do anything to you anymore. As for going to the capital in three years, it's all up to you."
Lin Zhixiu said, "I'm listening here. Every time you talk, you're always talking about money."
Aunt Huang smiled sarcastically, "Girl, you are well-dressed and well-fed, and your parents love you. How could you know how miserable it is to have no one to make the decision and no dowry? Isn't that why I am today? So, I beg you, think carefully."
, at this time, do not return to the capital."
Lin Zhixiu looked at her and smiled, "That's all you want to say?"
"That's all! Some things I don't know myself. And some things I can't say."
Lin Zhixiu said, "That's all. I heard what you said."
