Faced with Lin's unwillingness and rage, Marquis Yongning simply glanced at her indifferently.

"When you used all means to marry into the Marquis' Mansion, you should have expected this result."

The plain and cold words were like a long sword piercing Lin's heart. Her eyes were red and her lips were trembling, but she could not make any sound. A huge feeling of absurdity spread in her heart.

Yes...it's all her own fault!

It was she who had been admiring him one-sidedly for so many years. She was the one who was being shameless!

Lin almost lost his balance and was about to fall to the ground.

Madam Kong immediately stepped forward to support Lin. She trembled and said to the Marquis of Yongning, "My Lord, how could you be so cruel to your wife? She has been managing the household affairs of the Marquisate for many years and gave birth to Lin'er and his two siblings. Even if she has no merits, she has worked hard!"

"It is precisely because I think that Brother Lin cannot have a mother with a ruined reputation that I let this matter go. I don't care about the life and death of other members of the Shen family, but she must be fine!" Marquis Yongning said sternly.

The oppressive gaze fell directly on Lin.

"From now on, you should just be a good wife and stop dreaming about things that don't belong to you."

"Otherwise, don't blame me for not considering the affection between you and the children."

The person he had been thinking about for more than ten years was finally going to be his, and he would not allow any accidents to happen.

Lin's face was as pale as paper and her heart was dead.

At this moment, a gentle voice came from the door.

"elder sister?"

Lin Wanru was standing at the gate of the courtyard in a moon-white ice silk shirt, holding a lamp in her hand. The dim light reflected on her pretty face, giving her an indescribable hazy beauty.

Her eyelashes trembled slightly as she looked at the blood all over the floor, her eyes full of fear.

"What's going on here?"

Lin pushed away Madam Kong's supporting hand, rushed to Lin Wanru, and roared, "Where have you been? Didn't I tell you to wait here for Master Kong?"

It's all this bitch's fault!

If it weren't for her, how could the Marquis not see his own efforts!

If she had stayed in the meditation room obediently, how could she have been defiled by these dirty and vulgar beggars, and not have been seen in such an unbearable scene by the Marquis, and been despised by him!

Veins popped up on Lin's forehead, and at this moment he wanted to pick up a knife and chop Lin Wanru.

Lin Wanru seemed a little frightened by Lin. She explained in a soft voice, "I thought I shouldn't wait here in vain, so I went to the main hall in front to look for Master Kong."

"After Master Liaokong prayed for my husband's soul to be reborn, I returned to the meditation room and found that my sister and Yijie were not there. I then thought that my sister might have come here to look for Master Liaokong, so I came to look for her."

Lin Wanru looked back and asked, "What happened? Why did the Marquis come to Fahua Temple?"

Marquis Yongning stood up, the indifference on his face gradually melted away, he walked in step by step, a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

"I met Sister Hua in the mansion. She said that you forgot the Buddhist scriptures you copied, so she asked me to help deliver them to you." As he said this, Marquis Yongning took out the Buddhist scriptures he had kept close to him and handed them over.

Lin Wanru was surprised when she heard this.

"Thank you, Lord Marquis."

Yongning Hou slowed down his voice and said, "It's okay. I was going to take you back home anyway. It just happened to be convenient."

"These corpses belong to criminals. They heard that a wealthy lady was coming to Fahua Temple, so they disguised themselves as beggars and sneaked in to commit evil. They have all been killed. You don't have to be afraid."

Marquis Yongning looked concerned, and if it wasn't inappropriate, he would have wanted to comfort her.

This scene of love between a man and a woman hurt Lin's eyes, as if a new scar had been added to her already broken heart.

In more than ten years of marriage, he had never shown such tenderness.

It turns out that he is not unkind, but he just doesn't want to be the one to be kind to him.

Lin couldn't bear it any longer. She wanted revenge, revenge for Zhou Yaozhi's indifference to her over the years.

Lin Wanru only has her businessman husband in her heart. She wants to see how Lin Wanru will treat him when she knows that her husband was killed by Zhou Yaozhi.

Thinking of this, Lin took a step forward and grabbed Lin Wanru's wrist.

"Do you know how my brother-in-law..."

"Lin!" Marquis Yongning shouted angrily, his eyes full of warning.

Zhou Lingyi could no longer hide. She walked up to Lin, took her hand, and looked at her with pleading eyes, "Mother!"

When Lin saw Zhou Lingyi, her reckless thoughts stopped instantly.

Yes, Prince An still needs the Shen family’s money. If she tells them, how can the Shen family be used by them?

Does she also want Yi Jie'er to follow her old path and endure the pain of unrequited love for the rest of her life?

No, she can't do that!

Seeing Lin like this, the last bit of relief in Lin Wanru's heart disappeared. Her nails dug deeply into her palms, and the overwhelming hatred almost broke through her reason.

She raised a stiff smile.

"Sister, what did you say about my husband?"

Lin's eyes darkened, as if he had lost all his strength.

"Brother-in-law... Master Liaokong has completed the salvation for my brother-in-law?"

Seeing Lin Wanru nod, Lin pulled the corner of her mouth.

"In that case, you should go back to your room and rest early."

Having said that, he left first, and Zhou Lingyi followed closely behind.

Lin returned to her room and could no longer hold back her tears. She hugged Zhou Lingyi.

"Sister Yi, how could your father be so cruel?"

Zhou Lingyi's body stiffened. She calmly pushed Lin away and said with a firm expression, "Mother, don't worry. One day, I will hand that bitch over to you to vent my anger."

Today she lost both her wife and her army. Sooner or later, she will get revenge on that bitch and her daughter.

After comforting Lin, Zhou Lingyi returned to his meditation room. As soon as he sat down, he asked Caiwei to prepare water for bathing.

The moonlight is bright and the stars dot the dark night sky.

"咚咚-"

"Come in."

The door was opened and a servant came in carrying a plate of cakes.

"My Lord, this is the midnight snack that Madam Shen prepared for you. She said she wanted to thank you for bringing the Buddhist scriptures to her."

Yongning Hou's expression changed.

"Serve it."

He picked up a piece, sprinkled it with icing sugar, put it in his mouth and chewed it bit by bit until he finished it all.
