The rural doctor is busy with farming, and her abstinent husband can't bear it

Faced with the old lady's questioning, Mrs. Master seemed a little at a loss. She looked away and secretly glanced at Master Lin, seeming to want to say something but stopping herself.

She had always been submissive at home, and because she was not favored by her husband, she dared not say much at this moment, for fear of touching that sensitive nerve and causing something unexpected.

Su Yu couldn't help but sigh in his heart. It was rare to see such a weak mistress of the house. No wonder a mere concubine could run rampant in the mansion.

She realized that this was a great opportunity to expose Song Xiaoniang's true face, but Madam Shao Fu was too weak to seize the opportunity.

If Song Xiaoniang becomes more powerful in the future, I am afraid that the life of this wife will become even more difficult.

However, recalling how Madam Master Lin had stopped Master Lin from searching people, it was clear that she was not completely without principles.

Su Yu decided to lend a helping hand again. After all, when the truth came to light, she was unwilling to stand idly by.

As soon as the majestic figure of Master Han stepped over the threshold, he was like a sudden cold wind, and without hesitation pointed the finger at Su Yu, insisting that she was the thief who attempted to steal, and even demanded that she be searched in public.

Su Yu suddenly felt a sense of grievance that was even worse than the winter frost. She felt like an eggplant in the vegetable garden that was wilted by the morning frost, helpless and fragile.

Facing the old lady's question, she tried hard to hold back her tears and narrated in a weak but clear voice: "In the early morning, I noticed that your pulse seemed to have improved. Thinking that I had not returned all night, my family must be very anxious, so I arranged for Doctor Zhu to continue to take care of you, and I planned to leave quietly to avoid disturbing you. However, fate seemed to be playing tricks on me. As soon as I stepped out of the gate of the Lin Mansion lightly, I was stopped by the burly gatekeeper in the mansion. Master Han, he insisted that I took your precious bracelet without saying a word, and insisted that the nanny search me. Thanks to Madam Shaofu's timely intervention, otherwise such humiliation, I, a weak woman, really couldn't bear it. If that were the case, how could I have the face to live in the future."

Master Lin's heart was filled with ripples as he listened to Su Yu's words that moved him emotionally and logically.

He thought to himself: This girl is really smart. She is obviously the most obvious suspect, but she can make it sound as if she is a completely innocent victim. This makes me, as a father, seem narrow-minded and making trouble for no reason.

Su Yu completely ignored the subtle calculations in Master Lin's mind. She was open-minded and knew that she had a clear conscience. Everything she said was true without any exaggeration.

Upon hearing this, the old lady glared at her son fiercely, her eyes full of dissatisfaction and blame, but due to the situation and her son's status and position, as well as the many servants around them, it was not convenient for her to lose her temper on the spot.

Although Master Lin was somewhat nervous, he always behaved respectfully and politely in front of his mother and did not dare to be negligent in the slightest.

The old lady asked, "So, how was the bracelet recovered? Who was the real thief?"

Su Yu's eyes gently passed over Song Xiaoniang, with a subtle hint in her eyes. Then she slowly said, "I'm afraid I have to ask Song Xiaoniang about this matter. She took the bracelet out of her own clothes. Could it be that the bracelet can grow legs and sneak into her pocket?"

Although Su Yu's words were sour, he cleverly stated the facts while avoiding directly accusing Song Xiaoniang of being a thief. After all, as an outsider, it would be inappropriate to interfere too much in this complicated family dispute.

If Master Lin wanted to protect him, he could naturally find various excuses to get away with it.

The old lady was so wise that she understood everything as soon as she heard it.

She knew Song Xiaoniang's character very well, but chose to turn a blind eye because of her son's preference.

However, this time he actually took advantage of her serious illness and tried to get his hands on the family heirloom. How audacious!

"presumptuous!"

The old lady yelled angrily, picked up the crutch beside the bed and swung it at Master Lin mercilessly. At this moment, she no longer cared about her son's face.

"Are you wearing your official hat properly? Where have you learned from my daily teachings? You almost messed up a family matter and caused many injustices. Are you so soft-hearted that you can be easily influenced by others?"

Master Lin felt pain in his skin from the beating and was anxious. He was most afraid that his mother would get sick from anger, so he quickly apologized and begged for mercy: "I know I was wrong. Please don't get angry again and hurt your body. You have just gotten a little better, so you must not get angry again."

The old lady had mixed feelings, she was angry but also felt pity for this son who, despite his many faults, was always filial.

And the root of all this trouble is Song Xiaoniang.

The old lady knew very well that as long as Song Xiaoniang’s problem was handled properly, the family would return to its former peace and harmony.

"Not only did they steal from the company, but they also shamelessly framed others. This kind of despicable behavior is absolutely intolerable within the walls of our Lin Mansion."

The old lady spoke with unquestionable majesty, her brows knitted, her eyes as sharp as torches, "Come here, change her into a commoner's coarse cloth dress immediately, send her to the market, and sell her!"

Hearing the tragic fate she was about to face, Song Xiaoniang turned pale instantly, as if struck by a bolt from the blue. She threw herself desperately at Master Lin's wide coat, tightly grasped it with both hands, and begged with tears in her voice: "Master, please have mercy on me and save me this time! I will never dare to do such a dirty thing again!"

However, before Master Lin could say anything, the old lady was already furious, her words full of disappointment and indignation: "Until now, you still want to protect her? I have warned you long ago that this person has ulterior motives, but you indulged her blindly, which made her even more arrogant. She even dared to deceive and despise me!"

Witnessing Song Xiaoniang's crazy appearance at this moment, Master Lin felt mixed emotions and frowned. He finally kicked her away and used his eyes to instruct the servants around him to act.

Upon hearing the order, several strong servants rushed forward and forcibly dragged Song Xiaoniang away regardless of her cries and struggles.

Seeing her son finally showing his determination, the old lady's tone softened a little: "Go back and have a good rest. You've been so exhausted from my illness and you look quite haggard. Let Doctor Su prescribe some medicine for you to recuperate."

"Yes, mother, I obey your command."

Master Lin bowed respectfully, then turned to Master's wife and said softly, "Let's go, don't disturb mother's rest."

"You go first, Qingshu stay, I have something to talk to her about."

The old lady ordered, her tone firm and unquestionable.

Master Lin touched his nose with a hint of embarrassment, then left the scene alone.

Su Yu wanted to go with him, but the old lady called him back, "Doctor Su, wait a moment."

Although Su Yu was puzzled, he still stopped and waited quietly for the old lady's next words.
