Chapter 126 A visitor from the Lin family
Zhu Jingshu is finally dead, and no one will ever know her secret, Lin Qianqian thought.
"Miss Lin."
Who is calling her? Lin Qianqian came back to her senses from her inner ecstasy, and when she looked up, she saw Zhu Jingxing with bloodshot eyes.
Fortunately, she managed her expression well. When Lin Qianqian looked up, she didn't show any joy, but a look of sorrow: "Cousin, you called me?"
"Pack up and leave the house tomorrow, okay?"
"?"
Lin Qianqian's tears, which were just rolling in her eyes, flowed down quickly after hearing Zhu Jingxing's words.
"Cousin, what did I do wrong? Why are you chasing me away?" Lin Qianqian grabbed Zhu Jingxing's sleeve and cried.
But she was thinking frantically in her heart, did Zhu Jingshu tell about Ge Da before she died? Wouldn't that mean her cousin knew that she had lost her virginity, and he would never marry her...
But what Zhu Jingxing said next pulled Lin Qianqian directly from hell to heaven.
"I accidentally discovered that you are the daughter of the Lin family who is living abroad. I have informed your father of this matter. He will send someone to take you to Kyoto. The person will arrive tomorrow."
"Lin family?" Lin Qianqian looked confused.
She had been without a father since she was a child, and her mother only told other people that she was a widow. At the beginning, their family was well off, and her mother had money and jewelry, and she raised her pampered.
Later, the family's money was gradually spent, and the mother and daughter had no skills to make money, so they had no choice but to resign the servants again and again.
In the end, her mother fired all her maids and insisted on keeping Qing'er to serve her.
It was not until her mother fell seriously ill that she told her mother before she died that she had a connection with the Zhu family and asked her to take Qing'er to seek refuge with them.
Now her cousin actually told her that her father was not dead yet, which made Lin Qianqian a little unacceptable.
"Cousin, my mother is a widow, are you mistaken? Do you think Qianqian is an eyesore at home and want to send her away?"
Lin Qianqian was about to kneel down after she finished speaking, which made Zhu Jingxing frown. He felt disgusted inside, but his tone was still gentle:
"There will be nothing wrong with this. Your father is a very powerful man in Kyoto. If he takes you home, you will be better taken care of."
Lin Qianqian, who looked thoughtful, was supported by Yinping and taken back to her room. Zhu Jingxing looked at the corpse on the ground for a long time before coming back to his senses. He instructed Zhu Qiu:
"Zhu Qiu, choose a place with good scenery for the young lady, preferably with flowers and water, so that she can sleep peacefully for a long time."
"Zhu Chun, take the people to clean up this place. From now on, Shu Le Zhai will be closed!"
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
The next morning, Lin Shan arrived at the gate of Zhu Mansion with two teams of guards, four or five maids and a sedan chair.
Lin Shan stood in front of the Zhu Mansion and looked them up and down, his nose in the air, and his attitude arrogant: "Tell Zhu Jingxing that someone from the Lin family is coming!"
Lin Shan's attitude was arrogant, and he dared to call Master Zhu by his name, which made the gatekeeper feel dissatisfied. He thought carefully and realized that there was no Lin family among the big families in Changzhou Prefecture, so he felt relieved:
"Lin family? Which Lin family? This is the private residence of Lord Zhu, the prefect of Changzhou. Why are you so arrogant?"
After all, she was a servant of the third place winner in the imperial examination, and a mere doorman could still use words and sentences when speaking.
Lin Shan sneered, grabbed the doorman, threw him to the ground, and kicked him hard several times, beating him black and blue. Finally, he held him in front of his face and repeated sinisterly, "Go call Zhu Jingxing, do you hear me?"
Then he threw the doorman to the ground again. The doorman quickly got up and ran back to the house, as if he was afraid that the man who beat him would catch up with him.
The doorman was halfway through his run when he was spotted by the housekeeper Liu Zhong, who waved and asked him why he was like that. The doorman exaggerated what happened outside the door and said, "... Housekeeper Liu, they are going too far!"
After listening to this, Liu Zhong did not show much anger. He had also heard about what happened last night. He heard that they were here to pick up his cousin, and that they were from a big family in Kyoto. There was no need for them to offend them.
Thinking of this, Liu Zhong laughed and patted the doorman on the shoulder:
"Look at me! I'm old and my memory is not very good.
My master told me to tell you yesterday that someone from Kyoto would come to pick up my cousin today, but I forgot to tell you.
You should go back first, and remember not to conflict with them again."
When the doorman heard that the group of people were here to pick up his cousin, he immediately had an idea in his mind.
He had been bribed by Lin Qianqian, otherwise he would not have mistakenly thought that an adult had returned to the city on the day Luo Xiaoran entered the city and reported it to Lin Qianqian.
Besides, the housekeeper Liu Zhong is a typical smiling tiger. He smiles at you on the surface, but as long as you cross the line or commit a crime, he will enforce the family rules and punish you without mercy.
Thinking of this, the doorman nodded obediently and went back. Liu Zhongze hurried to inform Zhu Jingxing about the matter.
At the same time, outside the Zhu Mansion, Lin Shan was wandering in front of the door with a gloomy look on his face.
I heard that this young lady who had been living outside would be sent to the palace as the Queen's concubine sister after being brought back to the Lin family. This would step on the feet of the mistress of the family.
No, this young lady's mother is not even the master's concubine, so this young lady cannot be considered a concubine's daughter, or even a mistress's daughter. At best, she is just a bastard!
The Queen is the head of the family's legitimate daughter and the only daughter. She is the youngest and has three older brothers, all of whom dote on her extremely much.
Although the mistress, the eldest master, the second master and the third master apparently agreed that the master should bring the second young lady back and send her to the palace to help the empress win favor, Lin Shan knew that after he brought this bastard back this time, he, Lin Shan, would completely offend the mistress and the three masters.
Having said that, if this mission is not done well, no matter what will happen to the wife of the master and the three masters, the master will be the first to come out and skin himself alive. Thinking of this, Lin Shan couldn't help but shudder.
The old woman who seemed to be the oldest and had the most experience behind Lin Shan came forward and asked, "Lin Shan, do you think that after we go back this time, we will never be able to catch the Madam's eye again?"
Lin Shan snorted coldly, stared at the door plaque of Zhu Mansion with hatred, and lowered his voice:
"All the children of the head of the family crawled out of the wife's belly, except for the second young lady. Those of us who took the second young lady back home are afraid that we will never have a chance to succeed."
Hearing Lin Shan's words, the old woman nodded resignedly and said in a hoarse voice:
"I am old now, and I don't have the energy to fight for anything. But you are still young, but you were sent to do this job. It really delayed your future."
Hearing the old woman's words, Lin Shan felt a surge of anger in his heart that was about to erupt, and his whole body was shaking: "It's all Zhu Jingxing's fault!"
