Tong Huaqiong took a carriage and went to the Lin family in person.

There was no news about Miss Lin anywhere in Shengjing, and the Lin family was almost in chaos.

When Mrs. Lin heard the news that Tong Huaqiong was coming to her house, she was not in the mood to see anyone. But when she thought about the normal plan, Tong Huaqiong would come to the wedding banquet in two days, so there was no need for her to visit today.

Since he came at an unnecessary time, it meant that he had something important to discuss with her.

Mrs. Lin invited Tong Huaqiong in.

Tong Huaqiong saw Madam Lin's forced smile and said directly without beating around the bush, "Madam, can we talk for a moment?"

Mrs. Lin had an idea and sent the servants away.

Tong Huaqiong said straight to the point: "Your eldest daughter fled to my shop."

"you sure?"

"It's true."

When Mrs. Lin heard the news, she felt like she had survived a disaster.

At the same time, she was furious and thought she could escape anywhere else, so she fled to Tong Huaqiong's shop.

Soon, in the vast expanse of white, a carriage drove out from the Lin Mansion.

Under the guidance of Gu Dashu, Tong Huaqiong, Madam Lin and several of Madam Lin's trusted maids and servants came to Gu Dashu's fur shop.

"Open the door." Gu Dashu knocked on the door.

Liu Yue'e heard Gu Dashu's voice and went to open the door herself.

As soon as the door opened, Liu Yue'e pointed at Gu Dashu and cursed, "You're already an adult, but how can you still be manipulated by a little girl like a fool? What kind of family is the Lin family? The eldest daughter of the Lin family escaped to our shop, and you dared to take her in? Have you forgotten how Miss Xianxian from the prefecture deceived you? Do you want our entire Gu family to be implicated?"

"Don't think that just because the emperor praised you as a righteous man, you're not that proud of yourself. You can't really call yourself a righteous man. You've been deceived by that Miss Lin, don't you know? She's so young and she's used to seducing you. She lied to you that she was living under the care of her stepmother and that her stepmother's younger sister bullied her. In fact, she's a ruthless person who repays her stepmother's kindness with hatred and schemes against her younger sister. You should drive her out now and send her back to the Lin family. She's a real bomb in our shop."

Liu Yue'e was so angry that she cursed and didn't notice Tong Huaqiong and Mrs. Lin got off the carriage.

When Mrs. Lin heard Liu Yue'e's scolding, her face became colder than the snowy weather.

The concubine's daughter ran out to ruin her and her daughter's reputation.

She was still too kind to her concubine's daughter. Even if it meant plotting against her biological daughter's innocence, she still arranged a good marriage for her so that she could live a stable life in the border.

Mrs. Lin was very regretful. If she had known earlier, she should have locked up Miss Lin in the Lin family temple and let her spend her whole life beside the green lamps and ancient Buddhas. Then she would have been obedient.

"mother."

"Mrs. Lin."

Liu Yue'e saw Tong Huaqiong and Mrs. Lin and stepped forward to salute.

"Where is the person?" Mrs. Lin could no longer maintain her noble lady image and stepped forward to ask.

Liu Yue'e said, "Inside the house."

Liu Yue'e was afraid that Miss Lin would escape, so she locked her in the backyard.

Tong Huaqiong invited Mrs. Lin into the shop, and Liu Yue'e took Mrs. Lin's confidant to the backyard and brought the person to Mrs. Lin.

Miss Lin had not eaten for a whole day and night. She walked in the wind and snow for a long time wearing thin clothes and felt the cold wind on her body. She was beaten by Liu Yue'e and fell to the ground with a fever.

"Mother, I was wrong."

When Miss Lin saw her stepmother sitting on the chair, she was so frightened that she fell to her knees in front of her stepmother and kowtowed for mercy.

Mrs. Lin looked at Miss Lin and frowned. She thought that Miss Lin had met with an accident on the road and had injuries on her face and body.

The nanny next to her asked, "How did the young lady get the injury?"

If something unexpected really happens, the marriage in two days will have to be cancelled.

Miss Lin was trembling like a sieve, and hope arose in her heart. Her mother asked the nanny to ask her about the injuries on her body. It seemed that she still had feelings for her, so she pointed at Liu Yue'e.

Liu Yue'e rolled her eyes and said directly, "Madam, I was the one who injured Miss Lin. She came to my shop and lied, fabricating a story about you and Miss Lin, and even tricked the shop assistants into sending her to Prince Ning's mansion. I got angry and taught her a lesson. I was a little harsh. If you want to punish me, I won't say anything."

After hearing this, the nanny who had asked the question just now gave Liu Yue'e a thumbs up in her heart.

In her opinion, Miss Lin deserves to be punished.

The lady was kind and never hit her since she was a child, not even a loud scolding. She indulged her and made her behave more and more unruly. Even when she plotted against the second young lady, she only confined her to the house without actually beating or scolding her.

She had just run away for one day when she was beaten black and blue. When she saw the lady, she no longer stiffened her neck and accused her of being hypocritical in her kindness to her, nor did she threaten to commit suicide to cancel the engagement.

Doesn’t he know to kneel down and kowtow to admit his mistake?

If you haven't been outside in the rain, you won't know that the days in the Lin Mansion are sunny.

Mrs. Lin looked at Miss Lin's face, which was swollen like a pig's head, nodded to Liu Yue'e, and said, "Thank you for educating her for me."

Miss Lin's mind went blank in an instant. Did her stepmother really not care about her life or death?

"Mother, I was really wrong. I won't dare to do that again. After I came out, I realized that I had a good life before. It was me...I was ignorant before. I was so cruel and ruthless that I couldn't see how good you were to me..."

"Wuwuwu, mother, I really know I was wrong. I don't ask you to forgive me, I only ask you to take me back to the Lin family. I will practice in the Lin family temple for the rest of my life and chant sutras to pray for you and my sister."

Everyone sighed in their hearts. Miss Lin said to slide on her knees, so she slid on her knees.

Mrs. Lin sat steadily, with a cold light in her eyes.

"Mother, I beg you, I was wrong, I was really wrong."

Miss Lin's head banged loudly.

She was cold, in pain, and hungry, and she wanted to leave here immediately.

Since my hope of going to Prince Ning’s Mansion has been dashed, I can only ask my stepmother for mercy.

"Mother, I will go home with you now. I promise you that I will marry honestly the day after tomorrow."

Miss Lin suddenly thought of her marriage.

Now she began to feel that compared to being locked up in the temple, marrying a minor official in the Hanlin Academy was not bad. At least she would have no worries about food and clothing and could go out freely.

If you are sent to the ancestral temple, there will be no hope in this life.

Mrs. Lin had a sneer on her lips.

The concubine is threatening her with her marriage the day after tomorrow.

Even in this situation, you are still playing tricks.

As long as the minor official of the Hanlin Academy could marry into the Lin family, he would happily agree even if she adopted a maid from the Lin family as her adopted daughter and asked her to marry him.

It doesn't have to be Miss Lin.

Mrs. Lin smiled and said, "My eldest sister is not in good health and is not suitable for marriage. Go to the temple to recuperate and make plans later."

Mrs. Lin didn't say a single harsh word.

Miss Lin's pupils suddenly dilated, and she slammed her head to the ground and begged.

As she wished, she didn't have to marry a minor official in the Hanlin Academy, nor did she have to be sent to the border to suffer.

Because the marriage was cancelled.

She will spend the rest of her life in the Lin family temple.
