Mrs. Liu, her son, daughter-in-law, and youngest daughter Liu Jing had just returned from overseas. Regardless of their exhaustion, they rushed to Lin's house.
When Lin Zhixiu saw Mrs. Liu with a sallow complexion, she screamed, threw herself into her arms and cried, "Aunt Liu, Xiuer's father, and mother are all gone..." After struggling for the past few days, she finally relaxed and threw herself into her arms.
In Aunt Liu's frail arms, she cried until her heart broke.
Aunt Liu caressed her gently, with tears streaming down her face, and said lovingly, "Your father and mother, the one who is most worried about you must be you, Xiu'er. So, you have to live well! Don't let them worry too much."
"Well..." she choked.
Liu Jing has a round face, big eyes, and is very lively. She usually likes to quarrel with Lin Zhixiu. At this time, she was crying, took out her handkerchief, and gently wiped Lin Zhixiu's tears.
Mrs. Liu asked, "Uncle Liu told me what you found out. Now, what are your plans?"
Lin Zhixiu said, "My niece has some ideas, but she still needs Uncle Liu and you to give Xiu'er support. These dirty things at home cannot be reported to the official, nor can they be told to the uncle. Things here involve Aunt Huang and the capital.
Third wife, both of them are my grandmother’s natal family. And in the palace, the Huang family... My parents are gone. I am only a daughter’s family, and my brother is a concubine. The Lin family will not shake so much power because of my brother and me.
, won’t make the decision for us. So, don’t rush this matter, Xiu’er wants to deal with them by herself, but she has to do it slowly!”
"Yeah. But it sounds like your third aunt is a cruel person! If you don't restrain her, she might kill her again. Can you hide from her?"
"Xiu'er wants to stay here for three years to make some preparations on the grounds of honoring her parents' filial piety. One is to sort things out and deal with the property left by her parents. The other is that we have to be capable! This paragraph
Let my brother study hard every day and try to get a good name in the examination."
Mrs. Liu said happily, "It's hard for you to think so thoughtfully at such a young age. In fact, when your Uncle Liu talked about this matter, my aunt also thought about it. Three years later, you will be fifteen years old and will be a big girl. It's just right."
If you go back to the capital and get married, you don't have to stay in the Lin family for a long time. The Lin family will not marry you out of the blue for their own sake. Moreover, if everything goes well for you, Uncle Liu, you will be able to return to the capital in three years, and you will be able to take care of him anyway.
One or two. So if you want to stay here, then stay! Your Uncle Liu and I will help you."
Lin Zhixiu wiped her tears and said, "Thank you, Aunt Liu. Now there is a problem. My brother has such a biological mother, which is also a stain. Over the years, Aunt Huang has had a very bad influence on him. If it is not solved properly, it will affect him."
My father has only one son in his life, and he has high hopes for him. But... although Aunt Huang is very bad, and she did do bad things, it did not cause a big disaster after all. She gave birth to a brother again... and he wants to attack her.
It's really difficult. But I don't want her to be at home, and I don't want others to find her easily, causing the news to leak... so it's a bit difficult..."
Mrs. Liu thought for a while, "Auntie does know a place to go. There is a Kuchan Nunnery outside Gusu City. Some families... will send women who have made serious mistakes and it is difficult to deal with them because of the family's reputation. They will be sent there."
.It is a penance. You have to do the washing and cooking by yourself. The rules are strict... it is difficult to get in and out. But the fees are not low, so they have no worries about food and clothing. Otherwise, they will send Aunt Huang in. It is considered a punishment.
, it can be regarded as asking her to practice hard and pray for your parents."
Lin Zhixiu's eyes lit up: "Aunt Liu, this is a good idea."
Aunt Liu said, "Ordinary people can't get in yet. I know a friend who can help. She can set the rules in the nunnery... If she doesn't follow the rules, outsiders can't see her, and no one can redeem her!"
Lin Zhixiu was so happy: "Auntie, this is the best."
"Then, you should also make peace with your brother to avoid any complaints in the future."
"good!"
On the way back, Mrs. Liu sighed, "Sister Qing'er, Sister Jing'er, plus Zhixiu, the three sisters, in ordinary days, laugh and play, carefree. Jing'er, because Xiu'er is prettier than her,
She has more clothes and jewelry than she does, and she is no less angry either openly or secretly. But things in the world are fickle, so what do those things mean at this moment?"
The nanny next to her said: "Yes, Miss Zhixiu, you are really impressive! She is so successful all of a sudden."
Aunt Liu said, "Yes, she has become a big girl all of a sudden. When I go back, I have to think of ways to discipline this girl Jing... Sister Qing is already married, and then I realize that I haven't taught her anything. Jing."
My temper is even worse! What if one day I leave and they become so stupid?"
"What did you say, madam?"
"It's really time to start! In the past, I have been thinking about this in my mind and thinking about doing it. But I always felt that the days are still long! There is no rush. Now I understand that when things happen, it doesn't matter what you think.
Ah!" She has been in poor health. Who knows how long she will last? She made up her mind and disciplined Liu Jing when she got home. Liu Jing hurried back and cried again. She was tired. On the way back, she leaned against the girl.
She slept soundly, unaware that her mother was determined to deal with her.
Lin Zhixiu told Lin Feng about this in the evening. When Lin Feng heard this, he was unwilling but did not dare to object, hesitating...
Lin Zhixiu became impatient, "You are the mainstay of the family now, why are you so unsuccessful in doing things? If you go, it doesn't mean you can't come back."
Upon hearing this, Lin Feng looked at Lin Zhixiu expectantly.
Lin Zhixiu said, "Study hard, and when you win the Jinshi, you can take her back as you like."
Humph, wait until you win!
"Ah!" Lin Feng was very surprised. His brain was incomparable to his father's, not even to his sister. Jinshi, when did that happen? It's normal to be unable to pass the exam for the rest of your life.
"Ah what?! I'm telling you, Lin Feng, our second brother-in-law is a thorn in my grandmother's side. If you don't have any fame and fame, you will have to be restricted everywhere when you return to the capital. In the end, you will probably be following behind the eldest brother and the second brother.
"People take away the family property, but in the end, you still have to coax and respect them, hoping that some money will fall between their fingers! Good things are not your turn, and when misfortunes happen, you will take the blame." Lin Zhixiu told him.
, no patience at all.
Lin Feng blushed with embarrassment and said, "Okay, that's good."
Lin Zhixiu also simply waited for Aunt Liu to get the letter. She stopped harping on Aunt Huang. What else could she say? She tied the person up, covered her mouth, threw her into the car, and asked Butler Lin to deliver her.
Walk.
Butler Lin was not willing, "Miss, I've heard that Kuchan Nunnery costs a lot of money. Why spend so much money on her? Find a small shabby nunnery and throw it away! Life or death is up to you."
Lin Zhixiu said, "Kuchen Nunnery has strict rules. Once you enter, others cannot see it, and you cannot redeem it in advance. This is not the case in other nunneries. Maybe she will run away after being sent to her! She is carrying a secret. If she messes up,
Talking about rioting is not good for us. What's more, Lin Feng has a soft temper, and Aunt Huang can control him. When the time comes, she will always harass him with trivial matters. He will not be able to study well, has no future, and will bring shame to his father. In the future,
If Lin Feng really wins the Jinshi, he will naturally figure out how to deal with her."
"That's what the lady said." Butler Lin's hatred for Aunt Huang also involved Lin Feng.
After seeing off Aunt Huang, Lin Zhixiu went through his father's things, including manuscripts. In a box, he saw some things his father had sorted out, and suddenly remembered something...
Immediately call Lin Feng and discuss with him.
Lin Zhixiu said, "We all know a little about what grandma treats our parents. This time, the uncle is here. If we follow the uncle back home, grandma will not be happy, the third wife is vicious, and the eldest aunt is very greedy for money."
, we bring so much property back, we really have no ability to protect ourselves. In my opinion, it would be better for us to stay here for three years."
"You mean not to return to the capital?"
"Well, I won't go back for now. We are here to honor our parents, and you study hard at home. If you are lucky enough to get a good name, at least your grandfather will value you. And one more thing, we have to consolidate the property of our father and mother."
Lin Feng said nothing.
Lin Zhixiu rolled her eyes at him, "The family's property belongs to you and cannot be lost to you. Don't believe your aunt's nonsense!"
"No, no, I don't believe it! I know!" Lin Feng said quickly.
"Your problem is not about property at all, but about fame! Without fame, you won't be able to keep any amount of money you have! Don't be the same as before, work hard!"
"Yes, brother knows. But if I don't go back to the capital, I'm afraid my uncle won't agree."
"There's no problem with this. Aunt Liu and I have already discussed it. It's just that we have to find a backer for ourselves!" She thought carefully.
