Chapter 128: Aunt Ru’s Attitude
Chapter 128: Aunt Ru’s Attitude
Fortunately, Lin Yaoyao's worries were unnecessary. Lin Zhengping realized this problem early on and only met the old lady briefly before leaving.
The mother and son didn't even have time to say a heart-to-heart talk to each other.
After confirming that her son was indeed alive and well, the old lady returned to her dignified appearance in public.
She was not in a hurry to enter the house. She just stood at the door, wanting to know when Lin Zhengfeng, the bastard, would come to greet her.
She wanted to see how far Lin Zhengfeng could go in pretending. To what extent could he pretend?
"Mother, mother, why did you come here so suddenly? Why didn't you send a message to your son in advance?"
"Humph! What are you saying? How can I go back to my own home? Can I not come back? Do I need to ask you for permission in advance?"
"Oh, mother, what are you saying? That's not what I meant. I just care about you!
It’s freezing cold this season, and you’ve been exhausted from the long journey. I’m worried that you may not be able to handle it!”
"From what you said, I have to thank you for your concern?"
"My son doesn't dare."
The old lady snorted again and just stood there, waiting for Lin Zhengfeng to come forward and help her.
"By the way, where's your wife? Why isn't she here with you? Is she mad at your concubine?
Speaking of this, I have to talk to you in detail.
She's just a lowly concubine brought back from the outer room. Just treat her as a toy. How can you let her climb over Manrong's head?
Our Lin family does not favor concubines over wives. If you dare to let Manrong down, I will teach you a lesson on behalf of our Lin family ancestors."
The old lady's words were so harsh that Lin Zhengfeng didn't even dare to look at her directly.
He took a deep breath but didn't dare to refute anything.
"My son doesn't dare. Don't worry, mother. I have already kicked that bitch...I, your concubine, out of the house. Nothing will happen to her anymore."
The old lady didn't know what had happened during this period, so naturally she didn't know the reason.
"Oh? Kicked out? What happened? Didn't I hear that woman had been with you for many years and brought a child into the house?"
"To be honest, I am more afraid of polluting my mother's ears, but since my mother has mentioned it, I will still explain it briefly.
That concubine was dishonest, she had an affair with the groom behind her son's back, especially the bastard she brought into the mansion...
The son had always thought that the child was his own blood and treated him like the apple of his eye.
Unexpectedly, upon closer inspection, Ye Zhong looked exactly like the groom and did not resemble his son at all!
Things have come to this point, and there is nothing the son doesn't understand. It turns out that his son has been cuckolded by that woman for a long time!
So my son drove them out of the house. Whether they live or die in the future, it has nothing to do with my son!"
"Really? Then you should be kicked out! I hope you really think it through."
Lin Zhengfeng helped the old lady into the house, while Lin Nianzhi kept sticking to Aunt Ru.
The mother and son haven't seen each other for a while, and it's rare for Lin Nianzhi to look so childish.
It was also at this time that Lin Zhengfeng noticed the mother and son.
"When did Nianzhi come? Why didn't you tell dad in advance?"
The mother and son pretended not to hear what he said and continued to follow the old lady.
Aunt Ru has no feelings for Lin Zhengfeng.
Her circle is simple, with her son and the old lady at the first, followed by her wife, and finally herself.
Then there was none.
In Aunt Ru's view, Lin Zhengfeng only provided her with seeds, and there was no other intersection between them.
During the years that they and their mother were in Jiangnan, the lady would send them a lot of things every year, and would also ask in her letters if they were well.
Where is Lin Zhengfeng?
Not to mention sending anything, he didn't even send a letter.
What difference does it make whether you have such a man or not?
Anyway, she had never had any expectations of Lin Zhengfeng, so naturally she wouldn't feel any disappointment.
Aunt Ru, on the contrary, feels that this kind of life is the best.
It was rare that Lin Zhengfeng didn't lose his temper. He didn't get angry at all because Lin Nianzhi ignored him.
There was no other way. He was still counting on his son Lin Nianzhi, hoping that he could bring honor to the family!
In Lin Zhengfeng's eyes, he only has Lin Nianzhi as his son now, so naturally he should pamper him well.
And his so-called pampering was nothing more than verbal concern, which would occasionally interfere with Lin Nianzhi's studies.
He himself felt that he was enjoying it very much, but he never thought about whether Lin Nianzhi needed it?
Lin Yaoyao and Qu Manrong arrived late.
They had walked a short distance before the mother and daughter finally saw the old lady.
Qu Manrong's health had indeed deteriorated a lot, and she found it a bit difficult to walk this short distance.
The medicine to suppress the toxicity has been taken, but it cannot be taken continuously, otherwise it will cause addiction.
She would simply endure it when she could, and only think of taking a pill when she couldn't endure it anymore.
The poison of the Seven Star Lotus either doesn't take effect, or once it does, it's as painful as if thousands of ants were gnawing at your heart, causing unbearable pain.
She had been holding it in and had never let Lin Yaoyao know, for fear that her daughter would worry about her.
Lin Yaoyao’s first impression of the old lady was that she was a rigid and dignified old lady.
The mother and daughter quickly bowed to the old lady.
Qu Manrong's legs were so weak that she almost fell to her knees, partly because of her weak body.
Of course, she was more afraid of the old lady.
"Manrong, what's wrong with you? Why do you look so sick?"
The old lady was just wondering whether Qu Manrong was angry or was held back by something, so she didn't come to greet her immediately.
She knew that Qu Manrong, the concubine's daughter-in-law, had always followed rules that could not be faulted.
Even though she came from a merchant family, the Qu family was a particular family and was well-known for loving their daughters.
In order to teach his daughter, he spent a lot of money to find a famous teacher to teach his daughter.
"To answer mother's question, my daughter-in-law accidentally caught a cold and has been feeling unwell for the past few days, which is why she is late."
"If you're not feeling well, just take a rest. Just send someone to tell them. Why bother going through all that trouble yourself?
Is this my granddaughter who has been living away from home for fourteen years?
He looks really good, and he can't even find fault with the rules. He is worthy of being a descendant of my Lin family!"
Lin Yaoyao thought to herself: This is not because the Lin family has good genes. It's because I have carried the bowl on my head countless times and bribed countless amounts of money to finally learn these rules!
"To answer grandma, these are all well taught by my mother!"
Lin Zhengfeng wanted to interject, but no one cared about his thoughts or wanted to hear what he said.
What the old lady did next was even more ingenious!
"I have nothing to do here. You, a marquis, cannot always accompany an old lady like me. Go and do your own thing!
I have Manrong and my elder sister here, and Nianzhi and the others are here to accompany me."
