After the vicious adoptive mother gave up, the scumbag children regretted it

Chapter 318 Brainless Lin Xueqing

As soon as she left, Yang Lingzhao got furious: "Second brother, you'd better explain why you brought back such a person? Have you checked to see if he is really from the Shen family? I don't believe it."

Yang Lingyu didn't indulge him: "Since when have you been the boss of the Yang family? Big brother's illness has really exposed you. Yang Lingzhao, I didn't realize that you used to pretend to be mediocre and incompetent, but now you are quite good at acting."

Yang Zhifu's eyes darkened, "Stop arguing, Second Brother, explain it to me."

"He is the illegitimate son of the Shen family, so they won't publicize it. Besides, her accent is also from the capital. Although it is not much different from ours, you can still hear it if you listen carefully."

Prefect Yang was silent. Yang Lingyu went to the capital to study when he was young, so he had more say on this matter. What he said made sense.

Lin Xueqing was anxious and couldn't help but say, "It's true that the Shen family has an illegitimate child, but it's not a son, it's a daughter."

"How did you know?"

Madam Yang asked, this Lin is becoming more and more unruly, she is just a country girl, but she has bewitched her son.

Lin Xueqing couldn't explain it. Could she say that she was now the illegitimate daughter of the Shen family?

The time has not come for this matter to be exposed yet, and it really makes her feel suffocated.

Yang Lingzhao quickly defended her: "Mother, since Lin said so, there must be a source of information. I can be sure that there is something wrong with this Mr. Shen."

Yang Lingyu said: "If you have an illegitimate daughter, why can't you have an illegitimate son? You are a village girl, but your source of information is quite powerful. You know everything about the inner house of Lord Shen?"

Lin Xueqing pursed her lips, unable to explain, and could only remain silent.

Prefect Yang made the final decision: "After all the noise, he is just a guest, right? Treat him well. We don't lack food and drink. It's better to be safe than sorry. Losing a little money won't offend the Duke's Mansion."

I will send someone to investigate as soon as possible. Be polite to him during this period. The most important thing is your eldest brother's health. He... Hey, go back."

Magistrate Yang still didn't want to give up. After all, he was his eldest son, the most outstanding and most excellent son.

Yang Lingyu left without talking to his stupid third brother, and Yang Lingzhao was so angry that he pounded the pillar. "He is just jealous of me. When I take charge of the family, I will cut off his monthly salary first, and then he will beg me for help."

Lin Xueqing coaxed: "It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. From now on, the entire Yang family will have to obey your husband's orders, and so will he. When the time comes, your husband can deal with him as he pleases."

Yang Lingzhao felt better, "That's my second brother. I just want him to respect me a little. I'm a younger brother, not a slave."

"That's right. You are my younger brother and I should care for you. He didn't fulfill his responsibilities as an older brother."

Yang Lingzhao was dissatisfied. "When I was a child, my father sent my elder brother and second brother to study in the capital. But when it came to me, he just found a random teacher in the city to teach me. My father was really partial."

"My husband is wronged. Let's go back. You haven't eaten yet."

"You still love me. Fortunately, you are here. But can't you contact the Duke Shen's Mansion? I feel bad for you for always being wronged."

"As long as my husband loves me, I won't feel wronged."

Lin Xueqing's eyes were full of tenderness, and just looking at her like this, she looked like a virtuous and loving wife.

She also wanted to live like this forever, but...

After returning to Yang Lingzhao's yard and having breakfast, Yang Lingzhao went to the yamen. Now Prefect Yang asked him to help with some documents, and he was also very busy.

These experiences will be of great help to him when he becomes an official. Even if he fails in the imperial examination, the Yang family can donate an official position for him. As long as Prefect Yang is willing to train him, his future will be worry-free.

As soon as he left, Lin Xueqing also went out, taking only a maid named Yulan with her. She was the one she bought after she entered the mansion. She was pretty, smart and capable, and she was her confidante.

In her previous life, she also lived in the inner house of the Yang family. She was very familiar with the survival rules of the inner house and had been punished by Madam Yang. So in this life, she followed Yang Lingzhao and made Madam Yang very angry, just as revenge for her previous life.

What Madam? One day she will be the boss of the Yang family, and that old woman will just have to wait for her.

The appearance of Mr. Shen made her very uneasy. After all, she knew her own affairs. Although the Shen family had no illegitimate children, no one came to acknowledge her illegitimate daughter. She didn't know what had happened.

She took a carriage to the west of the city. The people living here were ordinary people, a mixed crowd of people from all walks of life. It was not as prosperous as the east of the city, but it was very suitable for doing things that could not be seen in the light.

We parked near a small alley and walked into the innermost courtyard. It looked inconspicuous, but it was a different world inside. Occasionally, noisy sounds could be heard coming from underground.

This turned out to be an underground casino, and Master Ning Wu was doing his old business here.

"Why did you come here suddenly? Did anyone notice you?"

Master Ning Wu received her in the room and was somewhat dissatisfied with her. This woman was not smart enough and liked to act on her own, which was quite annoying.

Does she know that she is a fake?

Have you taken yourself too seriously after acting for so long?

"Something happened at home. Suddenly, a young master Shen came and said he was the illegitimate son of Duke Shen. How many illegitimate sons does Duke Shen have?"

"What? How is this possible? You are the only illegitimate daughter in the Shen family. Duke Shen is a very loyal person, and his wife is the princess of the current dynasty. He has never taken a concubine, and he only has one son and one daughter with his wife. The previous illegitimate daughter was born before marriage, so how could he have an illegitimate child?"

"But that man swore so confidently. You should check it out. He actually lives in the prefect's inner house and has no guilt at all. It is very likely to be true."

"fraud?"

"Who knows? I'm here to warn you. Be extra careful. Also, when will someone come over there? As long as my identity is uncertain, that old woman won't like me and will always want to bully me. I can't stand it anymore."

Master Ning Wu couldn't help but roll his eyes. Saying that she was brainless was already a compliment to her. You are just a country girl. If you hadn't replaced the identity of the Shen family's illegitimate daughter, you wouldn't even be worthy of being Madam Yang's foot-washing maid. And you still dislike her for not liking you?

It's okay if you don't like it. If you like it, then Madam Yang is blind.

"Ms. Lin, you need to understand clearly that she is your mother-in-law. As far as I know, she doesn't ask you to set rules and serve her. She is already a good mother-in-law. What are you enduring?

Don't think that just because Yang Lingzhao dotes on you, you can really regard yourself as the mistress of the Yang family. The Yang family still has to rely on Governor Yang and count on him to establish a family. I don't know if I can count on him even if Governor Yang dies.

You just stay in the Yang family and be your young lady. Isn't that a good life? If you cause trouble for me, I will be the first one to not forgive you. "

Lin Xueqing lowered her head: "I understand, Master Ning Wu, please don't be angry."

"roll."

Lin Xueqing: “…”

This damn old man, he is still so cruel even when she is acting like a spoiled child, is he also impotent?

Lin Xueqing's mood faded, and his aide Uncle Yang came in and asked, "Why did she make me angry again?"

Master Ning Wu: "I regret it. This woman is more of a hindrance than a help. She is brainless and likes to act on her own. I'm afraid she will do something bad."

Uncle Yang sighed, "It's come to this, there's no turning back. She's stupid but she should at least be obedient. If we go find that guy, we'll all die."

"Lin said that a young man who claimed to be the illegitimate son of Duke Shen moved into the prefect's inner residence. Go check it out. Are all the scammers so bold nowadays? Why not pretend to be anyone else? Pretending to be that person's illegitimate son must be tired of living."

"He is indeed very brave. I will meet him in person."

"Well, go ahead. The Shen family hasn't sent anyone, and I've been worried. Do you think the Duke has believed it or not?"

Uncle Yang said, "It's hard to say. Believe it or not, it's not easy to get past the Duke's wife. The Duke is a man who values ​​friendship and loyalty. It must have been the wife who stopped him. He's probably also struggling."

"Hey, let's wait and see."

They have come to this point and have no choice but to finish it, otherwise they will all die.

Uncle Yang went to investigate Shen Nanzhi, and Shen Nanzhi was not idle either. He took Yang Lingyu to visit the eldest master.

She must meet the handsome, intelligent and elegant young master as rumored, while he is still alive.

Young Master Yang's room was very stuffy, and all kinds of smells gave Shen Nanzhi a headache. People in ancient times were very strange. When they were sick, they would not allow ventilation for fear of catching a cold, so they would try to cover themselves up. However, they did not think that it would be strange for people to get better in an environment full of germs.

"How are you today, brother?"

"Alas, the time I'm awake is getting shorter and shorter. I'm only awake for an hour a day. I keep having a fever and coughing up blood. The doctor has prescribed some nourishing prescriptions and told me to take care of myself."

Yang Lingyu had a sad look on his face. He had gone to the capital to study with his elder brother since he was a child and they had the best relationship. Why did his elder brother get this disease at such a young age?

When Shen Nanzhi saw Young Master Yang, his face was pale, his lips were so pale that they looked bloodless, he had long eyelashes and a high nose bridge. He was a handsome man.

If it weren't for the occasional rise and fall of the chest, she would have thought it was a corpse.

"What is the taste?"

Shen Nanzhi sniffed and his eyes fell on the vase on the bedside table. There were several bunches of flowers like the white magnolia in full bloom, with a strong fragrance that smelled good, but the fragrance mixed with the smell of medicine made Shen Nanzhi feel uncomfortable.

"Mr. Shen, thank you for your concern for my elder brother. His illness has become more serious. Let's go first. I'm going to the capital to find the imperial physician. I don't know if he can make it in time."

Shen Nanzhi pointed at the orchid and asked, "Why are there flowers here? They smell weird."

"I had someone buy it at a high price. My elder brother is ill, and he feels better after seeing the flowers. The doctor also said it's okay to display them."

Shen Nanzhi shook her head: "Although I don't understand medicine, I know that patients need a fresh and clean environment to recover, not messy flowers.

Don’t you know that some flowers and medicines are incompatible? If you smell them together, you will get sick. It’s better to avoid them.

If you believe me, please change the room for the eldest son. This place is really not suitable for recuperation. Did the doctor tell me what is wrong with the eldest son? Why is he so seriously ill?"
