Transmigrated into a concubine, the main task is to make money
Chapter 77: Escape from Death, Master Lin Suddenly Returns
Lu Yun was so angry when she saw Aunt Zhou slandering her own daughter. The daughter taught the Fifth Young Master out of kindness, and she was not as bad as she said. A few days ago, she even begged the daughter to take care of the Fifth Young Master. Now that something happened, she blamed the daughter again. What an ungrateful person.
Lin Yuxi scolded Lu Yun, who was unwilling but could only shut up. Lin Yuxi admitted frankly:
"Yuxi has been weak since childhood, so I asked Yuge to go to the library to find some books on bone training for me. Yuxi also practiced according to the books. Yuge was playful, so he learned a few moves from me. That is not martial arts, and Yuxi does not have that ability. If the old lady does not believe me, I have a few books in my room that I can bring to the old lady for review."
Lin Yuxi was neither hurried nor humble, and sounded as if she was serious. However, she was right. Everyone in the Lin family knew that she was weak. At that time, she lived a humble life and was bullied miserably. The servants knew about it. Aunt Zhou and Aunt Feng also knew about it. Whose backyard didn't have people who died in vain?
At that time, they didn't have the time to help someone who had nothing to do with them.
In fact, the old lady was not as pedantic and old-fashioned as imagined. She was only concerned about the woman's innocence. As for martial arts and self-protection, she was not too opposed to it. She glared at Aunt Zhou, what a fool.
Aunt Zhou was glared at and dared not say anything more. In fact, she regretted it as soon as she finished speaking. She had clearly agreed to rely on Lin Yuxi, a big tree, so how could she have offended her? It was all because of her mouth.
Back to Lin Yu's case, the kidnappers explicitly told them not to report to the police, and used Lin Yu's belongings to confuse people and force them to pay the ransom quickly.
Liu rolled her eyes and said to the old lady, "Old lady, Yu Ge'er is the only male in the Lin family. If the master knew about this, he would definitely not watch Yu Ge'er suffer. I didn't sleep last night. As soon as I closed my eyes, I saw Yu Ge'er being whipped non-stop, crying and asking us why we didn't save him. If anything happens to Yu Ge'er, how will we have the face to see the master a hundred years later? Old lady, just listen to what I say. Let's pay the ransom quickly. After paying the ransom, there will be a glimmer of hope. If we don't pay it..."
Liu did not say anything else. Some things did not need to be said as everyone knew them well. Just stop there and let people guess the rest.
After hearing this, Aunt Zhou also cried and shouted in favor of paying the ransom. Aunt Feng had not expressed her opinion until she saw that everyone's eyes were on her, so she also said lightly that she agreed.
All of a sudden, two-thirds of the masters in the house agreed to pay the ransom first.
Lin Yuxi became very nervous. She wanted to say that she had asked someone to investigate, but she couldn't say it. Who could guarantee that there were no spies here? She must not alert the enemy before the matter became clear. Lin Yuxi could only look at the old lady with her eyes open and begged.
The old lady was also in a dilemma. On the one hand, her grandson was the blood of the Lin family and there could be no mistakes. On the other hand, she actually agreed with Lin Yuxi's approach.
However, as Liu said, paying the ransom would at least give them a glimmer of hope. If they didn't pay and really angered the kidnappers, it would be a waste of time and effort.
So, the old lady decided immediately, "Yuxi, I know you are also worried about Yu Ge'er, but I can't just watch him suffer and do nothing. I have decided to pay the ransom."
Lin Yuxi felt as if she was drained of energy after hearing this. She slumped down on the stool in dejection. She wanted to knock open their heads one by one to see what was inside. However, a little impatience can ruin a big plan. She stood up again and said loudly, word by word: "I don't agree."
This time, before Aunt Zhou could say anything, Liu spoke first: "We all agree, but you don't. What do you mean? Can you tell me why? Can you only feel at ease if you watch Yu Ge'er suffer and die?"
Lin Yuxi shook her head and wanted to explain it to them, but was stopped by the old lady, "Okay, I have made up my mind. This matter cannot be discussed anymore. Yuxi, you are tired too. Go down and rest quickly."
Lin Yuxi was a little disappointed. She thought the old lady thought the same as she did. Kidnapping is a matter of who can endure, and the one who endures to the end is the winner.
Back at Xiyuan, she was so anxious that she paced around the room but couldn't sit down. Unfortunately, he wasn't there, so what should she do?
Lin Yuxi was worried. The old lady had asked the shopkeeper to raise money. The second letter did not say when the ransom would be paid, so the family raised money while waiting for news.
After waiting for a long time, the third letter still didn't arrive. Everyone was disappointed, except Liu. The old lady was the same as always. Every now and then, the old lady sent someone to the gate to ask if there was any letter, but every time she replied with nothing.
Aunt Zhou was in tears all day long. If she had known earlier, she would not have listened to Lin Yuxi and paid the ransom first. Otherwise, she would not have been in this situation today.
The sun had already set, and there was still no letter. The old lady asked everyone to go down and rest. Seeing Aunt Zhou crying made her feel upset. How could a sincere person sleep? She stayed up all night, wishing she wouldn't even blink.
On the third day, everyone was expecting a letter like the day before and gathered in the front hall early in the morning, but they were disappointed again.
Instead of the third letter, a man came. When everyone saw him, they opened their mouths wide, stunned, and didn't know how to react for a moment.
It was the old lady who reacted first, and she kept murmuring with tears in her eyes: "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back."
Who is this person?
The man was wearing a grey robe, had a white face and phoenix eyes, looked gentle and refined, and was sitting in a wheelchair. His face was a little excited, but also cold. This man was the deceased Master Lin!
Aunt Zhou looked at Master Lin, staring at him without blinking, as if she was afraid that he would disappear in the blink of an eye. Finally, she couldn't help crying and threw herself into his arms: "Master, you are back, you have to make the decision for me!"
Liu had never expected that the person whom she thought had been dead long ago would suddenly appear in front of her alive. She opened her mouth wide, not knowing what to say. She looked up and saw a woman standing behind Mr. Lin. She was wearing coarse cloth clothes, had a good appearance, and there was a heroic look between her eyebrows.
who is she?
Liu sensitively smelled the breath of danger approaching, and her eyes became sharp as she stared at the woman. Finally, Liu pinched her thigh hard and squeezed out two tears. She knelt in front of Master Su and said in a trembling voice: "Master, is it really you? I am not dreaming!"
Seeing this, Master Lin couldn't help shedding tears, looking at the old lady with guilt, and said in a hoarse voice: "My son is unfilial and has made the old lady worried."
