Chapter 143 Lin Zhong Makes Trouble at Prince Beijing's Mansion
"Our eldest daughter, where did you hide her..."
Early in the morning, a carriage stopped quietly in front of the palace gate, as if telling a story.
Beside the car, an old man dressed in servant's clothes stood there with tears streaming down his face, his voice trembling and sad.
"Where did you hide our eldest daughter? She is the only bloodline of our Lin family!"
He is Lin Zhong, a servant of the Lin Mansion.
He cried out sadly, his voice filled with endless sorrow and despair, which was heartbreaking.
The old man's crying attracted the attention of passers-by, who stopped and gathered around curiously.
Some people whispered, "Why is this old man crying so sadly?"
Others showed sympathy on their faces, and as they looked at the heartbreaking scene before them, they couldn't help but feel pity.
Among the crowd, several kind-hearted people tried to comfort the old man and asked what had happened.
But the old man was immersed in his own grief and ignored everyone.
He just kept crying and calling for the disappeared Miss Lin.
"Miss Lin, where are you? You are the only bloodline of our Lin family..."
The old man's tears flowed like a spring, wetting his clothes.
His voice was full of pain and helplessness, which moved the people around him.
Accompanying him were his son and a maid, who was Xiaowan. Together they supported the old man.
"Dad, how could our eldest lady just disappear like that? Could it be that their palace can't accommodate our eldest lady?" the man said angrily.
As time went on, the number of people watching the fun gradually increased.
The guards at the door felt that this was a serious matter and realized that they had to go in and report.
So a guard hurried into the mansion and reported the situation to the housekeeper.
The housekeeper knew that this matter was of great importance and could not be delayed even for a moment, so he immediately reported it to the First Lady.
After hearing the news, the first wife thought to herself, I want to see who is making trouble at the gate of Prince Beijing's mansion!
She quickly stood up and went to the mansion gate with a group of concubines.
The eldest wife walked very fast, and two maids hurried to support her, fearing that she would fall accidentally.
When they reached the door, the eldest concubine lifted up her skirt, her eyes widened, and she shouted angrily, "Who dares to cause trouble in front of our palace?"
She glanced around, the guards told the passers-by, and then the onlookers dispersed.
Finally she fell on Lin Zhong.
At this time, Lin Zhong was being supported by his maid and son. He stood there angrily, scolding something loudly.
"Oh, who did I think it was? Just a servant! Tell me, why are you making trouble here?" The eldest lady glanced at Lin Zhong coldly and smiled contemptuously.
"Are you the manager of Prince Beijing's Mansion? Why did our eldest daughter disappear? Is it you who did it?" Lin Zhong asked angrily.
"Yes, I am the eldest wife of Prince Beijing, and the Princess Rong appointed by His Majesty himself!
Excuse me, who is your eldest daughter? What does her disappearance have to do with our palace? "
The eldest wife felt it was unbelievable. Their eldest daughter was missing, what did it have to do with Prince Beijing's Mansion!
"Our eldest daughter is the Jade Consort of your palace, how can there be no relationship!" Lin Zhong said angrily, and took out some imperial edicts and secret decrees issued by Master Lin during his tenure.
"Look carefully, this is the imperial edict of the Salt Inspector Lin Ruhai. Although he has passed away, we are also from a noble family. In terms of family background, Miss Lin is not inferior to any of you!"
"So, Lady Yu is Lin Daiyu, the eldest daughter of your Lin family. But the Jia family clearly sent her to Gusu for burial. Is there a trick?"
The eldest wife raised her eyelids and spoke slowly.
Her mind raced, thinking, "How could it be, how could she be Lin Ruhai's daughter?
Didn’t my godfather say she passed away?
That night I thought she just looked like Daiyu from the Lin Mansion, and was using Daiyu's name to seduce the prince.
How come the servants of the Lin Mansion really came to prove it!"
"I don't know if it's a trick or not, I only know that she is Mr. Lin's only bloodline.
The Lin family is not to be trifled with. These secret letters must be addressed to His Majesty only by Master Lin. How many salt inspectors are there in the entire country?"
The eldest wife looked at the imperial edicts in front of her. She knew that this person had come with ill intentions. Regardless of whether the Jade Wife was real or fake, this servant was definitely from the Lin Mansion.
The first wife also knew a little about Lin Ruhai.
He is the son-in-law of the Jia family, a former top scholar in the imperial examination, and the imperial censor appointed by the emperor to inspect salt.
Although he has passed away and the Lin family has no direct male descendants, the status of the Lin family cannot be underestimated.
For the sake of the reputation of Prince Beijing's Mansion and to prevent the matter from getting any bigger, the first wife had no choice but to send someone to invite Lin Zhong and his son into the mansion and ordered the servants to take good care of them.
"Old man, I've sent someone to investigate the disappearance of your eldest daughter.
Please move to your eldest lady's Cuizhu Garden and stay there for a few days."
The eldest wife gave a wink to the servants, and hurriedly sent a few servants to take care of Lin Zhong and the others to Cuizhu Garden.
The eldest wife was about to turn around and go back to her room, but she found that the maid next to the servant looked very familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen her.
She dismissed everyone except Aunt Lan.
"Sister Lan, do you think these people today are really from the Lin Mansion?" The eldest wife took a sip of tea and signaled the maid to pour a cup of tea for Aunt Lan.
Aunt Lan took the tea with a smile and said lightly, "Big Lady, even if it is, so what?"
The eldest wife raised her eyebrows and looked at her in confusion.
"Madam, it's just right that the person is gone now. It saves us from having to do anything!"
Aunt Lan walked up to the eldest wife, smiled, and then took out a pen and wrote a few words: "Riding the wind!"
The eldest wife understood instantly, yes, the Jade Wife was gone and that was it.
No matter who comes, serve him delicious food and drink, and wait and see.
She pushed all the responsibility aside when the prince blamed her. At this moment, the prince was still at the border. He would write a letter after a while and say that she had eloped with someone.
As for evidence, just find a servant and leave a letter.
Mrs. Yu will also be charged with adultery.
Even if the prince finds her in the future, no man would love a woman who has lost her reputation.
Even if the prince wanted her again, he would still be suspicious of her. Once there was a rift between them, they could never go back to the way they were before.
Thinking of this, the eldest wife smiled knowingly.
"Lan'er, I'm sorry for wronging you as your aunt!
You wait for the prince to come back!
Wait for the prince to come back. Here is a packet of fertility medicine. Your wish will come true!"
After saying this, the eldest wife gave a packet of mysterious medicine to Aunt Lan.
Aunt Lan instantly smiled with joy and took the medicine with many thanks. The eldest lady gave her a few more instructions and then they went their separate ways.
