Chapter 118 I Should Have Strangled You to Death
"Food? You call those slops that even pigs and dogs disdain to eat food? Aren't you ashamed to say that?
The murals from Dunhuang are not as many as yours.
Yes, if you really had any shame, you wouldn't be standing here today. Your face is thicker than a city wall, and even a wild dog would spit in disgust if it bit you."
Lian'er, who was standing by, chuckled when she heard this. Her young lady's mouth was getting more and more powerful, and she used different words to insult people one after another.
Having her thoughts exposed so blatantly, Wang looked extremely unhappy.
Lin Cheng frowned even more, his eyes seemed to be able to spit fire, and he was about to explode. He Shi beside him quickly grasped his arm and shook her head: "Master, have you forgotten what Eunuch Li said?"
Lin Cheng then came back to his senses and said, yes, it was an oral instruction.
With the emperor's oral order, no matter how angry or annoyed he was, he had to control his temper. Otherwise, if he really made a scene in front of the emperor, he would be in big trouble.
Wang felt sad when she saw the intimate actions between the two.
If it weren't for that bitch Lin Shuning, how could He be so arrogant, and Lin Cheng wouldn't be so cold to her. She blurted out without thinking: "Whether you eat swill or something else, you still grew up this big, right? Now you want to cut off your relationship? No way! I have raised you for 16 years, you have to give me every penny, including the principal and interest!"
Lin Shuning now completely understood why these three people came today. She sneered sarcastically, "You are so shameless. Ever since I was born, you claimed that you had no milk and threw me to the servants without paying any attention to me.
I was lucky enough to survive, and started working in the palace as soon as I could walk. In the past fifteen years, I got up earlier than the chickens, slept later than the dogs, worked harder than the cows, and from time to time I had to endure the whipping, humiliation, beatings and scolding you gave me while tied with dog chains.
Even the servants who signed a death contract did not suffer as much as I do. Isn't it what I deserve to eat slop?
The legitimate daughter of the Shangshu Mansion?
Ha! That sounds nice, but in reality, isn't it worse than a dog?
Now you want to get back the money you spent on raising me, how dare you ask for it! How dare you ask for it! How dare you even mention the word raising me! "
Every word, every sentence, is as sharp as a knife.
The memories of the original owner kept flooding into her mind like a tidal wave, as if the pain was being torn out of her heart and bones, not to mention that she was eventually starved to death in the woodshed in the broken yard after being humiliated and tortured beyond recognition. How painful and desperate that must have been.
The pain of pity is heart-wrenching, let alone the people who are deeply trapped in it?
Lin Shuning's eyes were bloodshot, and his eyes were filled with deep hatred, shining brighter and brighter like the moon shining into a cold river in the twilight, as if they could see through a person's soul, leaving them nowhere to hide.
Wang was stared at in such a majestic gaze that she shuddered violently. She opened her mouth but could not utter a word in rebuttal.
She thought Lin Shuning had forgotten these old events long ago, but she never expected that she would still be brooding over them today. After all, she was something that could not be put on the table, and her mind was narrow. How could she be compared to even half a finger of her Rou'er.
When Lin Cheng heard this, he looked at Wang in shock. Wang avoided him guiltily, twisting the handkerchief in her hand and not daring to say a word.
He rolled her eyes at her with disdain. She was an idiot after all and was of no use at the critical moment.
She twisted her slender waist and walked forward, smiling and said, "Miss San, why are you so serious? Let's not talk about what happened before. Now, you are living and eating in the Shangshu Mansion. You still have to pay back the money. This family has to settle accounts. What do you think, Miss San?"
"Heh..." Lin Shuning smiled sarcastically, her eyes gradually darkening. This time she did not refute, but was uncharacteristically obedient, with a faint smile on her face: "Okay, this account really needs to be settled carefully, then please ask Aunt He to list the accounts, so that I can see how much money should be paid back and where it is, don't you think?"
He had been prepared for Lin Shuning's retort, and the words to respond were already on the tip of her tongue, but she didn't expect that she would agree so immediately. She was suddenly delighted and quickly agreed, as if she was afraid that Lin Shuning would go back on her word.
Isn't this account simple?
Just find someone to list them out randomly. Isn't the amount on it whatever she wants?
The daughter born to a fool is indeed a brainless one. It seems that she had really overestimated her before.
He smiled and leaned back into Lin Cheng's arms, her voice as sweet as if it contained candied dates: "Master, the third young lady has already agreed to my request, so let's just leave it at that for now? It's getting dark, you see..."
The fingers with crimson nails made circles on Lin Cheng's chest and rubbed it gently.
Lin Cheng smiled, held her in his arms and walked towards their dormitory. It looked like he couldn't bear it any longer for half a minute.
Wang, who stayed where she was, stared at their backs leaning against each other, with a strong sense of jealousy in her eyes.
She turned around, glared at Lin Shuning, and gnashed her teeth and said, "Are you happy this time? Why, why do you always go against me? I am your mother in name only, why do you support that bitch He and yet you are so aggressive towards me? You are really a bastard, I should have strangled you to death in the first place!"
As she spoke, she actually took a few steps forward, looking as if she was about to take action.
Lian Er quickly stood in front of Lin Shuning and said coldly: "Madam, please respect yourself. My young lady is now a favorite of the emperor. How can you beat and scold her at will?
Even if you don't consider yourself, you should consider the second young lady in the Duke's Mansion, right? She is having a very hard time now. If her own mother is also arrested and thrown into prison, she will be beaten even more without anyone to rely on."
Having followed Lin Shuning for so long, she has learned the essence of it, and she emphasized the tone of the three words "Second Miss".
"You slut! How dare you threaten me!"
Wang's chest stiffened and she raised her hand to slap Lian'er in the face, but her hand was grabbed while it was still in mid-air.
Lin Shuning glared at her coldly: "You want to take your anger out on me because you are incompetent. Who gave you the courage? Also, what happened to you and Lin Rouan today is your own fault. You deserve it!"
After she finished speaking, she swung her head hard, and Wang lost her balance and fell to the ground. Her hair bun was shaking, and her face was stuck with scattered hair. She looked extremely embarrassed.
Wang pointed at Lin Shuning and trembled with anger.
Lin Shuning crossed his arms over his chest, looking down at her with disdain: "You better be careful and don't let me piss you off to death, otherwise I'll get bored.
Someone, come here, the lady fell to the ground without paying attention, carry her back quickly and ask a doctor to take a good look at her."
The guards who followed Wang looked at each other, then stepped forward tactfully and carried her away regardless of her struggles.
They know very well who they should listen to and who they shouldn't listen to now. I'm afraid that the situation in this mansion is about to change completely.
Once the group of annoying people left, the courtyard became quiet.
Lian'er looked back at Lin Shuning and asked in confusion, "Miss, He Shi has bad intentions. You shouldn't have agreed to let her list the accounts. She will definitely ask for a lot. After all, her beloved son who is always causing trouble needs money right now."
Lin Shuning smiled and answered the question irrelevantly: "Where did you find out about Lin Chengyu and Lin Rouan? You are even more informed than I am."
Lian Er scratched her head and smiled innocently, "To be honest, Miss, every time I go to the clinic to deliver medicine, I always listen to gossip with Liu Zi. People come and go in the clinic, and they talk a lot, and they don't shy away from talking to people, so I always listen to what the guests talk about."
"I see," Lin Shuning fiddled with the intricately carved phoenix feather on the gold hairpin on the tray, looking thoughtful. After a while, she waved her hand and said, "Lian'er, come here."
She whispered a few words to Lian'er.
