"My niece-in-law wouldn't be so petty as to not give in, would she?"

"If that's the case, then you are too narrow-minded and ignorant, and you are also disobedient and unfilial to the old lady."

Lin Yulan was glad that she was not seriously injured, otherwise after hearing what Fu said, she would have been so angry that her blood would boil and she would have felt dizzy and dazed.

Lin Yulan raised her hands to cover her head, frowned and groaned, panting and trembling: "Second Aunt, my head hurts a little."

Mrs. Fu's face darkened, and she was very unhappy: "Did you hear everything I said? If you heard it, you don't have to do anything. I will send someone to the Deng family to tell them that this matter ends here. Since the culprit has committed suicide out of fear of crime, you don't have to care about it. Your injury is not serious, and you will recover soon, so that the Deng family can rest assured."

Lin Yulan was extremely annoyed. Fu was being so aggressive that he even confronted her. Was he trying to force her to admit it?

She was so impatient, I wonder if it was because the Deng family had given her a huge benefit.

"Second aunt, I don't understand what you are saying. My head hurts more and more. I didn't sleep well last night, and now I feel uncomfortable all over. Xiaoqu, go and ask Qianrui if the medicine has been taken? Second aunt, the Deng family has hurt me so much, but they just put everything on a servant and think that's it. I don't recognize it. They don't take our Marquis' Mansion seriously at all, let alone me, the Marquis' wife! They are too much, second aunt, you should seek justice for me! How can you, why do you advise me to stop here?"

Fu was furious and said, "Lin, the twists and turns in the circle of the rich and powerful are not as simple as you think. You don't understand anything. Don't bring those petty habits from your mother's family with you. It will not do you any good. I treat you as a junior, so I am kind enough to remind you and teach you. Don't be ungrateful."

"Who is the Deng family? They are the maiden family of the Crown Princess. Our mansion only has an empty title. Ah Xun is such a scoundrel with no good reputation and no official position. Can our family afford to offend the Deng family? Since they have taken the initiative to negotiate peace, they have given us enough face. Don't refuse a toast and then drink a forfeit, otherwise you will regret it later."

Lin Yulan looked at her, puzzled and bewildered: "Take the initiative to make peace? When did the Deng family take the initiative to make peace?"

Fu choked, a guilty look flashed across her eyes, and then she immediately said confidently: "The two wives of the Deng family came to visit the old lady in person, and explained everything that needed to be explained, and compensated for the wrongs that needed to be compensated. The old lady is sensible, and for the sake of the friendship between the Marquis' Mansion and the Deng family, she has agreed to everything. What else do you have to say? Can't the old lady be your master?"

Fu said with a bit of pride and sneered at Lin Yulan: "Lin, you don't really want to be disobedient and unfilial, do you?"

Fu felt relaxed all over.

She was really stupid. Why did she have to explain so much to a junior like her? Wouldn't it be enough to just tell her the instructions directly? How dare she not listen?

Does she deserve the charge of being disobedient and unfilial?

Lin Yulan refused, "I haven't seen any Madam Deng, and I don't know what explanation or compensation is. I only know that Xiaoqi and I almost lost our lives, and now we are still lying on the bed unable to move. This is all done by the Deng family. Second aunt, my niece believes that everything should be fair and just, and we should be reasonable. We must get justice. The Wuwei Marquis's Mansion is not a coward who swallows his anger and lets others do whatever they want! Otherwise, wouldn't it be a disgrace to our ancestors? Wouldn't it be a mockery? Can you still hold your head up in front of others in the future?"

Fu's face flushed with anger and shame, and she shouted, "Lin, you are so insolent! What nonsense are you talking about!"

Qian Rui had already quietly sent someone to report to the Marquis. Shao Xun rushed over and just happened to hear Lin Yulan's accusation. He was stunned, his chest felt hot, and a strange warm current flowed through him.

Lin, she is very good...

"My wife is right, Second Aunt, there is no reconciliation on this matter. For my wife, Xiaoqi, and the dignity of the Wuwei Marquisate and the An family, justice must be done! I must make the Deng family pay the price! Second Aunt, please don't talk nonsense outside. My husband and I don't recognize it. If there is a quarrel, it will not be good."

"Also, tell Second Aunt that my cousin and I have submitted a complaint to the Emperor. There is no room for negotiation on this matter. The Deng family wants to force or threaten us to reconcile privately, but that's impossible. I won't be a coward who would bring disgrace to our ancestors!"

"You, you, there is a saying that if you take a step back, the world will be broader—"

"My wife and cousin were almost killed, why did I retreat? Why doesn't Second Aunt take our lives as her own? Are there any elders like you?"

"Old lady——"

"If the old lady can't make the decision for her granddaughter-in-law, then don't get involved!"

Lin Yulan covered her head and groaned in pain, "My Lord, My Lord, my head hurts so much! My head hurts!"

"Hurry up and call the imperial physician!" Shao Xun hugged her with concern, "Madam, please be patient, the imperial physician will be here soon. Second Aunt, are you satisfied?"

Fu was so angry that his eyes went dark: "......"

This wasn't her fault, why blame her?

Thinking of how she had taken on so much responsibility in front of the two ladies of the Deng family, Fu almost went crazy. She still tried to fight for it, but she didn't dare to put on airs. She changed her face and said softly, "Ah Xun, Lin, Second Aunt was too anxious just now, and her attitude was not very good. Don't take it to heart. But Second Aunt is really doing this for your own good. You are young and impulsive and don't know what to do. The Deng family is backed by the Eastern Palace, and we can't afford to offend them! Impulsiveness will cause endless troubles, and it will be useless to regret it later. Anyway, Lin and Xiaoqi are fine, and the Deng family has such a good attitude and came to apologize to the old lady in person, so they still owe us a favor. If we forgive them, won't everyone be happy? Why are you so stubborn! Why do you have to do something that has only disadvantages and no benefits? If you offend people, you will have a hard time in the future."

"Madam, please bear with it for a while. The doctor will be here soon."

"I, I know..."

"I'm here, don't worry, it's okay, it's okay."

"Um......"

One of them looked drowsy while the other was anxiously trying to comfort her, and neither of them paid any attention to Fu.

Fu gritted her teeth secretly, twisted the handkerchief in her hand almost into a knot, and refused to leave with a sullen face.

If she left like this, who knows what nonsense these two would say in front of the imperial physician when he comes?

She has to keep it.

Doctor Xu arrived soon after and diagnosed Lin Yulan. He sighed and said, "Madam, please don't get angry. You have hurt your head. I don't have any good medicine to use. You should just calm down and rest well. We'll see how it goes after a while."

Shao Xun sneered and was about to say something, but Fu was startled and hurriedly said with a smile: "Yes, thank you Doctor Xu, our family will take good care of Lin."

Shao Xun raised his eyebrows sarcastically and looked at her deeply, but did not contradict her in person.
