The reborn girl always wants to escape, but the abstinent marquis hugs her and coaxes her!

Chapter 271: Have you read all the books into a dog’s stomach?

Mrs. Lin's relentless pressure made Lin Yunce's face change instantly.

He lowered his head in panic: "The Splendid Wrist Crossbow that mother mentioned, my son...I lost it."

"Pa!" A slap hit Lin Yunce's face hard. The latter raised his head in shock and looked at his mother in front of him with some disbelief.

Until he was twenty years old, Mrs. Lin had never touched him. Even when he was a child, he was punished by his father for being naughty, and his mother was the first to rush out to protect him. But today, his mother slapped him without mercy.

Mrs. Lin looked at him coldly: "You are lying! You used it to kill someone, right!" "Son...son..." Lin Yunce murmured.

Mrs. Lin continued, "You used it to murder Princess Ping'an, didn't you?"

Lin Yunce lowered his head again.

"Answer me!" Madam Lin's eyes widened in anger. They had already turned red from days of fatigue, and blood was gushing from her eyes. "Why? Just for your sister? To help her?"

Mrs. Lin swayed a little while she was speaking.

Lin Yunce was so frightened that he hurriedly reached out his hand, trying to support his mother, but he forgot that his legs were weak. Not only did he fail to reach Mrs. Lin, he also fell off the wheelchair.

"Young Master!" Seeing this, the nanny beside her hurried forward.

"Don't help him!" Mrs. Lin scolded.

The nanny was a little panicked. She had been at Madam Lin's side since her youth, and later accompanied her into the Lin family's residence, becoming the housekeeper. In all those decades, she had never seen Madam Lin so furious as she was today...

She advised: "Madam, the eldest young master is still injured, please let him get up first..."

"Get out! I am teaching my own son a lesson. Anyone who dares to protect him will be punished together with me!" Mrs. Lin said coldly.

Seeing this, the nanny didn't dare to persuade him anymore. She looked at Lin Yunce with heartache and retreated silently.

Lin Yunce struggled to hold on to the wheelchair and tried to get up again, but his hands and feet were weak now. He could not do the movements that were very simple for others no matter how hard he tried.

Mrs. Lin just watched coldly.

Watching the son who had been held in his hands and cared for since childhood, struggling in front of his eyes, his light-colored robe rubbed on the ground for a long time and was full of dirt.

"Are you worth it?" Mrs. Lin murmured.

Lin Yunce was shocked, gave up struggling, and knelt in the wheelchair: "Mother, Jiaojiao is my only sister..."

"So, you'll do whatever she wants, no matter if it's right or wrong, right?" Madam Lin looked at him. "You know full well that she was the one who betrayed Marquis Weiyuan first! You also know that the marriage between Princess Ping'an and Marquis Weiyuan was personally ordered by His Majesty and had nothing to do with the Princess! You also know what the charge for murdering the Princess is! But just because Sister Jiao couldn't accept that the man she didn't want fell in love with someone else, just because she wanted to prove herself, you threw everything at her."

Madam Lin's words grew increasingly desperate. "Although you're a military commander, you've also been taught etiquette by a scholar since childhood. Have you lost sight of all the books you've read? Have you completely forgotten the teachings of the sages? You're fond of ingenious crossbows and arrows, and you've spent over ten days day and night researching the embroidered wrist crossbow, only to discover that the weapon you developed wasn't meant to kill the enemy, but to kill an unarmed woman?"

"When you used such despicable means to murder Princess Ping'an, did you ever consider what the world would think of you if the deed was exposed?" "Mother, I didn't kill anyone!" Lin Yunce couldn't hold it in any longer. When he heard that Princess Ping'an had been carried back to the Marquis' Mansion, he already regretted it. Now that his mother pressed him, he had no choice but to tell her the whole truth. "...So, I lent my wrist crossbow to Jiaojiao. Jiaojiao didn't dare to kill anyone either. She just wanted to scare the Princess, so she had someone shoot her mount."

"That's all?!" Madam Lin sneered, as if she had just heard some utterly ridiculous joke. "Princess Ping'an isn't even seventeen yet. She only travels in a carriage and isn't good at riding or shooting. Your sister shot her mount with a wrist crossbow. Is that all? The needle was laced with poison, causing the horse to gallop and die of exhaustion. Is that all?"

She smiled bitterly, "Your father has spent his entire life scheming for the Lin family's wealth and glory. If he knew his son was so foolish as to push the Great Zhou's First-Rank Military Marquis against him, he would surely be furious."

"No. Jiaojiao was terrified after she realized she'd gotten into trouble, and she swore she'd never do it again. She's already cleaned up her act, so no one will ever know about it." Madam Lin said with a wry smile, "How could you believe that? I never imagined that the good son I raised would become someone else's murder weapon and shield! And he doesn't even realize it..."

"What do you mean, mother?" Lin Yunce was a little confused.

Mrs. Lin no longer had the strength to do so, nor did she have the rage she had just felt. She said slowly:

"Do you think that someone riding a horse in the street during the New Year's Eve in the important capital, at the foot of the emperor, knocking over your carriage and damaging the meridians in your hands and feet, was just an accident?"

"When you were unconscious, your father asked Jiao Jie'er whether you had made enemies outside. Her face looked strange at that time. I suspected something was wrong, but she swore afterwards that it was not the case, so I did not ask any more questions."

"I think at that time, she knew that your injury was caused by Marquis Weiyuan seeking revenge for Princess Ping'an, but she was afraid of your father's punishment, and even more afraid that the Lin family would abandon her, so she chose to continue to conceal it."

"Mother, are you saying that Rong Ge'er and Princess Ping'an know that it was us who did it?" Lin Yunce murmured.

Mrs. Lin smiled bitterly: "Other than the powerful Marquis Mu Rong, who could set up this ingenious plan to accurately cut off the tendons of your hands and feet, and also cause some unconfirmed and unfounded evidence?"

"If the Ping'an County Lord didn't know who harmed her in the first place, how could he return the poisonous needle in the crossbow to Sister Jiao when she asked her for medicine? You are a fool, and Sister Jiao is greedy. You are harming others and yourself in this way, and your father's plan has been in vain. This is... really good..."

"Bang!" There was a loud crash outside.

The mother and son looked in the direction of the sound and saw Lin Zhihen standing there without them knowing when. He smashed his fist on the door frame so hard that it almost broke.

And his eyes were bloodshot.

His life's work was to make the Lin family a prominent family in the Great Zhou under his leadership.

To this end, he abandoned his childhood sweetheart and married the daughter of the Chu family. He also asked her not to have illegitimate children or concubines, and not to take in concubines, just so that he could devote the strength of both families to raise a pair of children to help him.

After twenty years of hard work, his son is now the youngest general in the Great Zhou, and his daughter is the most beautiful woman in the Great Zhou. One of them is about to marry the daughter of a prince, and the other is about to marry into the prince's mansion.

"Idiot!" Lin Zhihen roared.
