Lin rushed to the front of Yongning Hou. At this moment, there was no longer any love in her eyes, only hatred.

Her hands kept hitting Yongning Hou, her eyes bloodshot, "Why! Why did you let the Shen family leave? Do you love that bitch so much? Don't you even care about Xuan Ge'er's death?"

A hint of impatience flashed in Yongning Hou's eyes, and he roared, "What nonsense are you talking about!"

"I'm talking nonsense?" Lin's eyes were filled with tears, which fell down in large drops. She choked and said, "How dare you say you didn't mean it? Aren't you just afraid that I would hurt that bitch?"

"I'm telling you, it's useless. No matter where that bitch hides, I'm going to kill her to pay for Xuan Ge'er's life!"

"Snapped--"

With a crisp sound, Lin was knocked to the ground and the room suddenly became quiet.

The cold and ruthless voice of Yongning Hou echoed in the room, "Are you crazy enough?"

Lin suddenly turned around, and there was a bright red slap mark on her pale and haggard face. She looked at him with hurt eyes.

But the Marquis of Yongning's voice was still as cold as ever, and seemed to have a hint of dissatisfaction, "What happened yesterday? You went crazy in front of all the guests, leaving behind a huge mess, and even angered my mother into unconsciousness."

"Mother hasn't woken up yet, and instead of coming to her bedside to serve her, arrange Xuan'er's funeral, and salvage the Yongning Marquisate's reputation that was tarnished yesterday, you're still here making a fuss."

"You are acting like a madman, acting foolishly. Do you still remember that you are the mistress of the Yongning Marquis's mansion? Do you still remember your responsibilities?"

Marquis Yongning has been exhausted these past two days.

After their son died, the old lady and Mrs. Lin both fell into a coma, and Mrs. Wu brought Zhou Lingfu to him crying. The entire mansion was in chaos, so his dissatisfaction with Mrs. Lin reached its peak and he spoke more.

Lin's eyes were filled with despair. Facing the accusations of the Marquis of Yongning, her lips trembled constantly. She stood up tremblingly, "I acted foolishly? Did I fail to fulfill my duties?"

"Zhou Yaozhi, tell me honestly how much I have sacrificed for the Marquis' Mansion and this family over the years!"

"Now that my child is dead, shouldn't I, as a mother, be sad?"

Marquis Yongning's lips moved, and a strange look flashed across his eyes, as if he was slightly moved.

Lin continued, "Then what are you doing as a father? Xuan Ge'er is also your own flesh and blood, why do you let the Shen family leave?"

Lin's face was filled with anger, and she looked at the Yongning Marquis as if he were an enemy.

"It's not me who wants to let the Shen family leave." said Yongning Hou.

"What?" Lin was stunned for a moment, then filled with anger, "You still want to lie to me!"

Brother Lin said it himself, how could it be false?

Marquis Yongning returned to his usual indifference. "Don't you understand? Shen Qionghua had already prepared for what happened yesterday. She had a backup plan. Even if I didn't want to let her go, I couldn't."

"Impossible!" Lin said, her eyes full of suspicion. Although she also felt that Shen Qionghua knew something, the Shen family was just a merchant family. If the Marquis really didn't want to let the Shen family leave, the Shen family would have no way to stop it.

"With the power of our Marquis' Mansion, if you are determined not to let the Shen family leave, will the mother and her two children be able to escape?"

"What if Shen Qionghua finds a support that is bigger than the Marquis' Mansion?" said Marquis Yongning.

"Impossible. The Shen family is just a merchant family. What could they possibly be..." At this point, Lin suddenly paused, "Princess Pingning?"

Yongning Hou snorted coldly, "Because of that life-saving grace, not only the Zhenguo Mansion, but even Prince Rui will help us. If I don't agree to the Shen family leaving, Shen Qionghua will report to the authorities to investigate Xuan'er's death. With Prince Rui's pressure, are you sure you have cleaned up your act?"

Lin's eyes were filled with disbelief. She stumbled a few steps and fell on the small table beside her. "Could it be that Brother Xuan died in vain?"

She is not reconciled!

"Xuan'er is dead, and the dead cannot be resurrected! The most important thing right now is the reputation of the Yongning Marquisate and His Highness's great cause."

"Shen Qionghua should have known by now that the Marquis' Mansion was plotting against the Shen family. Your Highness and I have discussed this. We are going to cut off the tail and save our own lives. We will put all the responsibility on the Marquis' Mansion. Your Highness just needs to pretend to be unaware."

"If you encounter this in the future, you must pretend to be remorseful and not show resentment."

After all, Prince An never intervened in this matter from the beginning to the end. It was the Yongning Marquis's Mansion that took action, so there is still room for explanation.

Lin's pupils widened. "Xuan Ge'er was killed by them. Not only can I not avenge Xuan Ge'er, but I have to flatter and forgive them?"

Lin looked at the man in front of her whom she once loved deeply, and a feeling of sadness rose in her heart.

"One more thing," Marquis Yongning continued, looking at Lin with a warning, "Don't attack Wanru without my consent. If I find out, based on what happened to you last time at the Fahua Temple, it wouldn't be too much to ask for a new mistress in the Marquis Yongning's mansion."

These words were like a sharp knife piercing Lin's already broken heart. She trembled all over, and the scene of that night at the Fahua Temple and Zhou Jinxuan's body flashed through her mind, almost driving her crazy.

Lin Wanru, this bitch!

All her suffering was caused by Lin Wanru!

She will never let her go!

Amidst the tense atmosphere, hurried footsteps could be heard. The door slammed open and Wu rushed in with red eyes.

"My Lord, my Lord, for the sake of the old lady and the master, you can't ignore Sister Fu!" Wu howled as soon as she entered the room.

Suddenly, she saw Lin, her expression stern, and she immediately rushed forward and slapped her, "Lin, it's all your fault! If you hadn't wanted to attack the Shen family, but didn't have the ability, you would have accidentally harmed my sister Fu!"

Yesterday, Wu was ordered by the old lady to stay in the house, and she and Zhou Lingfu have been dealing with the matter. The more she thought about the details, the more she felt that Lin was involved.

Lin is in charge of the entire mansion, and nothing escapes her eyes. How could she not know if someone was doing something under her nose?

Before Wu could figure it out, something happened to Zhou Jinxuan.

Then early this morning, the maid beside her reported the rumors outside to her. After hearing it, she immediately figured out the key points.

Lin must have coveted the Shen family's money, but the Shen family had heirs, so she couldn't take it openly. So she wanted to kill Shen Yi, leaving the mother and daughter. Lin Wanru was stupid, so she was at her mercy.

She wanted to kill Shen Yi, but the Shen family kept a close eye on their only male child, so she couldn't get him easily. She could only create some chaos when there were many people around, so that she could take advantage of the situation.

Poor Sister Fu, she became the victim of this chaos. Everyone thought that it was some shameless maid who wanted to climb onto the bed, so she took the opportunity to get on Prince An's couch, but who knew that the little bitch Zhou Lingyi followed Lin's words and brought a group of people with her.

Now Sister Fu's reputation is completely ruined. If she cannot enter Prince An's Mansion, she will either die or have her hair cut off and become a nun.

She couldn't let this happen!

Lin must be held responsible for this matter!

"Lin, I'm telling you, if you don't find a way to get Sister Fu to marry Prince An and become his Consort, I'll never forgive you!" Wu's eyes flashed with ferocity.

Lin was heartbroken and humiliated at this moment, and was even slapped by Wu.

Hearing that Wu dared to covet the position of Princess An, anger immediately surged from the bottom of her heart, and she cursed: "Just because you are the daughter of a fifth-rank official, you want to be the Princess An? Dream on!"

"If Zhou Lingfu dares to do such a thing, she should just hit her head against the wall and die, lest she bring trouble to the Marquis' Mansion!"

When Mrs. Wu saw that Mrs. Lin dared to ask her daughter to die, she immediately started to quarrel with Mrs. Wu.

He grabbed and pulled whatever was on his face and head, and kept cursing. Even the Marquis of Yongning's shouts to stop were useless.

The servants came forward to help, and the originally quiet Rongde Hall suddenly became chaotic.

The old lady on the bed slowly woke up and saw the chaotic scene. She couldn't breathe and fainted again.

"Someone! Go get a doctor! The old lady has fainted again!"
