Lin Ruoshan was beaten 20 times in public, but the yamen did not hold back at all, and she fainted completely after the beating. The other three members of the Lin family suffered from the contempt and disgust of everyone, and they all turned their anger on Lin Ruoshan, and they became more and more disgusted with her.
When the county magistrate released him, Lin Fu immediately lost money and told Lin Yaozu to carry Lin Ruoshan away quickly. It was really embarrassing.
The escort's 22 taels of silver notes were confiscated as stolen money, and he suffered ten taels, and Lin Ruonan had to pay Lin Ruonan 10 taels of silver. How can he get any money by drinking all day? The county magistrate asked him to sign an IOU and ordered him to pay it off within half a month, otherwise he would hit the top ten boards again.
The chief escort was very angry because of such a thing. He fired him on the spot and walked away. None of the other escorts helped him, for fear of being misunderstood that their escorts have such a character. In the end, it was the yamen who dragged him out and threw him to the side of the road. As for how he got back, no one cared.
Xu Zifan and Lin Ruonan thanked the county magistrate, said a few words of compliment, and walked out of the yamen with the 20 taels of money that the Lin family compensated.
People immediately surrounded them, and you talked lively with each and every one of your words, and they were all scolding Lin Ruoshan and the bodyguard for their vicious hearts, saying that they had suffered an unwarranted disaster.
Xu Zifan and Lin Ruonan looked at each other and smiled, handed over to say hello to everyone, and went home hand in hand. They don't care about the change in the attitude of the people, most of the people in the world are like this, and in such an era, people don't target them, it's just difficult to see the truth. Now that the truth has come out, the only targets of these people's attacks are Lin Ruoshan and the bodyguard, but they are harmless.
This time, I just took this incident to establish a prestige. I think no one will come to find fault easily in the future. After all, not everyone has the courage to go to court with Xu Zifan, and no one dares to move their minds on such a strong person.
Xu Zifan has lived in ancient times more than once, and he is very aware of the psychology of the people in this era, and he is also very aware of the loopholes in the law at this time. He has been letting Shaohua pay attention to the movements of the Lin family. He knows very well that Lin Ruoshan's every move has attracted everyone's attention with exaggerated charges, and then exposed Lin Ruoshan's suspicion, and finally succeeded in convicting Lin Ruoshan.
Although the punishment is relatively light, in this day and age, if a girl who has not left the cabinet is convicted and beaten in public, she will bear a lifetime of humiliation. It is a very, very big punishment if she can't get married and her parents don't like her. In a short period of time, Lin Ruoshan should not dare to do anything more.
This is just right, give Lin Ruoshan some time to climb up, otherwise how can she experience the despair of falling from a height? The original owner's wish was to make her life worse than death, which was far from enough.
Xu Zifan met Xu's father and Xu's mother who were anxiously approaching on the way. Xu's mother took Lin Ruonan's hand and said with concern, "Are you okay? Your father and I went to help Uncle Liu with the work, and just heard the letter. Son, then Lin Ruoshan is going too far!"
Lin Ruonan shook her head, "It's alright, I haven't done it, I haven't done it, and no one can slander me."
Mother Xu patted her hand pitifully, "Even so, it's terrifying, I've heard a lot of gossip about Zifan over the years, and some words stabbed into the heart of the heart like a knife. If you have heard it, forget it, don’t take it to heart, our family can live a good life, and don’t pay attention to the words outside.”
Lin Ruonan's heart warmed, she hugged Xu's mother's arm affectionately, and smiled: "Mother, don't worry, I'm fine. I don't care what other people say, as long as you believe me. Zifan has been standing in front of me today, always Trust me, I'm not afraid at all, I'm not uncomfortable at all."
Only then did Mother Xu smile, "Okay, that's fine. Let's go, let's go home, my mother will make you delicious."
Father Xu also smiled and said, "I have to put a brazier to go to get rid of bad luck. In the future, our family will be harmonious and happy."
Father Xu was not only happy that his daughter-in-law escaped smoothly, but also that his son had grown into a man, and that he could shelter his daughter-in-law from the wind and rain, and they didn't need to worry about anything. He walked all the way, thinking that if this matter fell on him, he would have no good way to solve it, but Xu Zifan let the truth be revealed so easily and did not leave the Xu family stained with any filth. Better than Lan, he couldn't be more proud in his heart.
After returning home and stepping over the brazier, Lin Ruonan happily helped Xu's mother cook a table of dishes. Xu's father and Xu Zifan talked about the future development of the cloth workshop. The family talked and laughed, and no one mentioned Lin Ruoshan.
Lin Ruonan was grateful, even if she cut off contact with the Lin family, being calculated by her own sister was enough for a woman to be unable to lift her head in her husband's family, and the Xu family did not embarrass her at all, and treated her as one of their own. This made her very relaxed and happy. She found that the Xu family members cherished their family members very much and knew how to live. She was once again fortunate that she had made such a decision to marry into the Xu family, which was the most correct decision in her life.
They were laughing and cheering, but the Lin family was scolding and crying.
When Lin Yaozu got home, he threw Lin Ruoshan to the ground, yelling and scolding: "Lin Ruoshan is a prodigal, she has a bad heart and can't do good things. Today she dares to kill her sister, and she will kill our family in the future. I don't care, I must drive her out. Go out, I don't want to live in the same house with her!"
Lin Ruoshan woke up with severe pain from the fall, and was slapped in the face by Lin Fu. Lin Fu was furious, "You stupid thing, my face has been thrown away by you! How can you be so vicious? It cost fifty taels The silver is just to let people destroy your sister's innocence! How did your sister feel sorry for you? You want to hurt her like this?"
Lin Ruoshan covered her face and shouted, "What do you know? People in the whole town are scolding me now, all because of her and Xu Zifan. If they hadn't preached everywhere, how would others know about the change of relatives? They did it on purpose, they wanted to destroy me on purpose, is it wrong for me to take revenge? Don't you both dislike her the same way?"
Wang shi cried: "Even if I don't like her anymore, I won't hurt her like this! She's already adopted and married, so what are you staring at her for? Who would bring up the matter of changing relatives? Didn't you ask for it all by yourself?"
Lin Ruoshan spat out the blood in her mouth, "Bah", "You are less hypocritical, you obviously wish she was unlucky, lest she live too well and show that your stepmother treats her harshly, don't you mutter less at home? I just Your thoughts have become true, what's wrong with me? Now things have come to light, what if not? Lin Ruonan is the one who has been ruined today, dare you say you won't be happy?"
Wang Shi pointed at her in shock, "You! You are really stunned, you are crazy!"
"Yes, I'm crazy, I'm crazy for being bullied by you!" Lin Ruoshan slammed the ground twice, lying on the ground and crying loudly.
Those fears, shame, and unwillingness were all released, and her cries were so loud that people across several households could hear them. But no one sympathized with her, she was suffering the consequences and deserved it. For such a vicious girl, they all felt uncomfortable living close to her, and they all ordered the younger generation of Shenming's family to not be allowed to interact with her. This time, Lin Ruoshan used the Lingquan to make friends with the fake fake, and it was destroyed.
The only thing that Lin Ruoshan is happy about is Lingquan. She was beaten to the point where her skin was torn apart, and she was in great pain. She could be cured by drinking a few more bowls of Lingquan. She cried out of strength and was carried back to the room, taking advantage of no one in the room to drink the spiritual spring water. When Lang Zhong came to see her, she had only a little skin trauma left.
The Lin family was even more disgusted when they heard that she was slightly injured. Since there was nothing wrong, what was she crying and screaming for before? It made them all upset.
The Lin family was not willing to take care of Lin Ruoshan for the time being. Lin Ruoshan hid in the room alone. Thinking back to the scene in the court, she was still terrified. She was really scared, too scared, Xu Zifan and Lin Ruonan were her nemesis, and every time she faced them, it was not good.
She dared not, she still wanted to make more money and marry a good husband, but now all her good prospects have been ruined, she is reborn, and she believes in fate. Maybe she just can't fight against Lin Ruonan, Lin Ruonan must have a hard life. In her past life, her father didn't love her mother and she could live so well. In this life, marrying a sick child can make Xu Zifan better. Such a person is definitely hard, she can't fight. , she stopped fighting.
Lin Ruoshan reluctantly found a reason to comfort herself, but the huge fear still could not be resolved. She lay on the bed and cried repressedly, and fell asleep unconsciously while crying. But it didn't take long for her to wake up from a nightmare, full of cold sweat. After repeating this several times, she didn't even dare to sleep, and she made up her mind that she must cherish the reborn life, live it well, earn a lot of money by herself, and live a happy life.
Thinking so, she waved her hand to reveal the Lingquan creek, and when she saw the blue dragon hovering above the creek, she felt like being stabbed by a needle again, and the pain was terrible. Qinglong ignored her this time and didn't even look at her. Whether she was crying or beckoning, Qinglong would not give her a look. Does this despise her? She suddenly panicked in her heart, what if Qinglong felt that she was not qualified to abandon her? Can she really have a spiritual spring all the time
Just as Lin Ruoshan faced Lingquan's problem, she was interrupted by Lin Fu who entered the door. Lin Fu was here to get in trouble, he said with a cold face: "Your reputation is ruined, you can't let you delay the whole family, I asked your mother to find a marriage for you, you can marry far away. If you go far, don't leave. return."
Lin Ruoshan was struck by lightning, "Far married? You, what kind of family did you find me?"
"What kind of family do you think you can find with such a reputation? A scholar who failed an exam and broke his leg. There is a sick mother at home to take care of. If you serve them well in the past, maybe they will treat you well."
Lin Ruoshan immediately got up and held Lin Fu, "No! You can't marry me, I can make wine, and I can make you a lot of money."
"What's the use of that? No one wants to marry Yaozu. Who do I pass on the money I earn? How far will you go to me, you prodigal." Lin Fu brushed her away, and was about to leave.
Lin Ruoshan was terrified, this kind of marriage was not as good as her previous life. She knelt on the ground in horror and cried, "Father! Father, I know I was wrong. I don't dare anymore. Please don't let me marry."
Lin Fu was silent for a while with his hands behind his back: "If you want to stay at home, you won't need to mention money for wine making in the future, and work hard for the family."
