Time Travel: Did My Sister-in-Law Get Slapped in the Face Today?

Xu Yanrong nodded, but her face also showed some anxiety. "Can this matter with Li Lan be resolved peacefully? Who exactly is framing us?"

Lin Zheng sighed softly: "Even if we can't clear his name, we can at least save his life."

Xu Yanrong nodded: "Li Lan is our son-in-law after all...you should pay more attention to him."

Having gone through many things during this period, Xu Yanrong has come to accept Li Lan...

After she left with the jade box.

Lin Ruobing came to see Lin Zheng again, and Lin Zheng also took out a jade box and handed it to Lin Ruobing: "Keep this safe and do not tell anyone."

Lin Ruobing nodded, but then asked, "Father, what about Li Lan?"

Lin Zheng looked at his daughter and suddenly noticed a hint of insincere concern in her eyes. He couldn't help but stroke his beard slightly, pretending to be deep in thought: "He's probably going to die this time. Sigh... You've never liked him. Now that he's dead, you can relax a lot."

Upon hearing this, Lin Ruobing felt a slight urgency, but she suppressed it and said, "Father, he can't die!"

Lin Zheng laughed and said, "Oh? You don't want him to die?"

Seeing Lin Zheng smile, Lin Ruobing's pretty face flushed red with anger, and she said, "Father, you're teasing your daughter again!"

She pursed her lips: "Father, you have a way to save him, don't you?"

"Don't worry, Dad will definitely return to you a good son-in-law unharmed."

"I don't want it."

Knowing that Li Lan was likely to survive, Lin Ruobing felt a little relieved and left with the jade box.

But watching her departing figure, Lin Zheng frowned slightly, as if something was amiss.

"General,"

After Lin Ruobing left, Lin Ruoshi also came in.

Lin Zheng handed the third jade box to Tie Poshan and instructed him to keep it safe.

"General, about my brother-in-law..."

Upon hearing this, Lin Zheng couldn't help but find it slightly amusing. When he wanted Li Lan to become his son-in-law, everyone objected and looked down on Li Lan.

Only a few days have passed, but in the blink of an eye, the whole family has become incredibly concerned about Li Lan.

This kid...

Mind your own business!

He was not very polite to Lin Ruoshi, so Lin Ruoshi had no choice but to retreat awkwardly.

"What plan does the general have?"

After everyone had left, Tie Poshan, standing behind Lin Zheng, asked a question softly.

Lin Zheng said calmly, "His Majesty deliberately left Li Lan hanging, just so I could focus my efforts in the Northwest."

"In that case, as long as the general pacifies the northwest, the son-in-law should be able to come out safely."

Lin Zhengdao said, "He may survive, but he may not be able to clear his name."

He sighed deeply, then glanced at his right palm and said, "But if I am severely injured in the battle, or even crippled and unable to wield a sword again... hehe, His Majesty might show some mercy and clear Li Lan's name."

His face was calm yet resolute.

Tie Poshan was greatly surprised and said, "General, you mustn't!"

He understood what Lin Zheng meant...

Lin Zheng planned to mutilate himself to impress Emperor Xianxian and thus clear Li Lan's name and get him released from prison!

If he were crippled, the Emperor would surely be moved, and Lin Zheng would lose his threat, making it logical for the Emperor to let Li Lan go.

However, Lin Zheng was a veteran of the battlefield. For him, how painful it would be to die disabled.

He is using everything he has to give Li Lan a clean and innocent reputation and future!

“Li Lan has done too much for the Lin family. I can’t just stand by and watch him suffer like this. He has no hope in martial arts. If he also gets a bad reputation in literature and ruins his future, he will only have a life of depression to end.”

Lin Zheng smiled and said, "I'm getting old. It's enough for me to pave the way for the children and let them suffer less."

"Besides, I also want to enjoy a peaceful retirement. After becoming disabled, I can stay at home, enjoy flowers, fish, and take care of my grandchildren. Wouldn't that be nice?"

Upon hearing this, Tie Poshan felt heavy-hearted and remained silent... He knew that Lin Zheng spoke lightly, but for a general like him who was born for the battlefield, being idle at home was endless torment!
