After the rebirth, the princess became the richest man

Chapter 39
Aunt Lin's eyes suddenly turned cold, and the pupils constricted, like a poisonous snake hunting for food, cold and vicious.

"This matter concerns the reputation and face of my Lin family. If the fourth girl cannot prove her innocence, and the Lin family dares to ask the family law, the fourth girl will definitely tell the truth under heavy punishment!
When they heard that they were going to ask for family law, everyone present gasped. The family law that Aunt Lin said was completely different from the thirty boards she was beaten before.

The [-] boards ordered by Da Furen before to beat Aunt Lin and Lin Shuangyue were nothing more than minor punishments, but the real Lin family's family law is comparable to torture.

Aunt Lin wanted to ask the Lin family to punish Lin Qingyue according to the law, and she wanted Lin Qingyue's life.

It was a matter of human life, and the expressions of everyone present were terribly dignified.

The dark clouds covered the sun, and the dark sky seemed to press down on everyone's heads, and the oppressive atmosphere made people breathless.

The eldest lady looked at Lin Qingyue with a troubled face. She wanted to protect Lin Qingyue, but she really couldn't take sides in front of so many people.

Under the pressure, the eldest lady walked up to Lin Qingyue and asked softly: "Qingyue, why don't you open this box for everyone to see, as long as you can prove your innocence, you don't need to ask for family law."

Lin Qingyue hugged the box tightly, a stubbornness almost paranoid appeared on her pale face.

"This box must never be opened!"

The tight longbow broke suddenly, and the atmosphere suddenly rose to freezing point.

Seeing Lin Qingyue's insistence, everyone present began to discuss cautiously, and they were sure that Lin Qingyue was guilty of a guilty conscience and refused to let others see the contents of the box.

One of Lin Qingyue's offshoots who had ridiculed Lin Qingyue at the dinner party before even stood up and pointed at Lin Qingyue's nose and scolded her for ruining the Lin family style.

Faced with accusations and abuse pouring towards her like a wave, Lin Qingyue kept her mouth tightly shut and did not even utter a single glance.

She hugged the wooden box tightly, and the bright red blood streaked her eyes at some point. She glared at Aunt Lin with red eyes, and asked with a sneer, "Aunt Lin is so sure that Qingyue's 'mistake' is in this box." Evidence, I think it should be that you know what is inside this box, right?"

Aunt Lin sneered, and said with a smile: "I'm not afraid to tell the truth now, this box is full of silver, which is all obtained from your shady activities outside."

After Aunt Lin finished what she was supposed to confide, Lin Qingyue, whose face was still stained with tears, sneered suddenly.

She raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at Aunt Lin with a calm expression, and said with a sneer, "Aunt Lin is really 'caring' for Qingyue, she even knows so clearly what is in Qingyue's room and where it is placed. Qingyue was amazed that she could find it when she entered the house and she could clearly tell what was inside the box.”

Aunt Lin was dumbfounded for a moment, she turned her eyes away rarely when facing Lin Qingyue's red eyes.

"If you want people not to know, you have to do it yourself! Don't argue here!"

Lin Qingyue sneered: "Am I arguing that Aunt Lin knows best?"

Lin Qingyue walked slowly among the crowd, and placed the box generously on the table.

He smiled and said, "Don't Aunt Lin think this is unfair? Qingyue is not wrong, but Aunt Lin wants to ask the family law. How is this different from torture? Aunt Lin has no reason to take back what she said. Today the family law It is necessary to ask, as for who is being punished, it depends on what is in this box."

Aunt Lin frowned slightly, she always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't tell what was wrong.

Lin Qingyue didn't even intend to give Aunt Lin a chance to react, she turned around and bowed to the eldest lady behind her and said, "Please ask the eldest lady to come out with the family law and deal with it fairly."

The eldest lady took a deep look at Lin Qingyue, making sure that Lin Qingyue's eyes were firm and unmoved, and then ordered someone to invite the family law.

The Lin family's family law is divided into two types: rod punishment and whip punishment. Each of the two punishments is [-] punishments before the end.

The Lin family has house slaves who are responsible for carrying out punishments. They are all dead bonded house slaves who were bought into the mansion since they were young. They have been learning this craft since they entered the mansion. damage, so that the tortured person would rather die.

The house slave who was in charge of the punishment soon arrived with the instruments of torture. Lin Qingyue just glanced at the instruments of torture that were still stained with blood in the cracks, then turned her gaze away and walked to the box and said to everyone, "The key to this matter is In this box, since Aunt Lin and I have different opinions, why don't you all testify here today, if there is really something shameful hidden in this box, Qingyue is willing to bear double the family law, but If there is no such thing as what Aunt Lin said in this box, Aunt Lin will accept this family law, what do you guys think?"

What Lin Qingyue said was reasonable, and this matter had nothing to do with her. Without thinking too much, everyone said that there was nothing unreasonable in what Lin Qingyue said.

It wasn't until everyone nodded in agreement that Aunt Lin suddenly woke up what Lin Qingyue was up to.

"Aren't you determined not to open the box?"

Lin Qingyue smirked at the corner of her mouth, raised her eyes to look at Aunt Lin with a panicked expression and said with a smile: "I suddenly changed my mind and wanted to open the box again, can't I?"

Aunt Lin's expression suddenly became sluggish for a moment, and fragmentary pictures kept flashing in her mind. These pictures were rearranged and assembled in Aunt Lin's mind, making Aunt Lin's pupils suddenly widen.

"You did it on purpose! You did it on purpose!"

Lin Qingyue had a dazed expression on her face, she tilted her head to look at Aunt Lin in confusion.

"Aunt Lin, Qingyue doesn't understand what you are talking about."

Under Aunt Lin's sinister eyes, Lin Qingyue moved lightly to the box, Xiao Tao had already taken out the key from the wooden box and handed it to Lin Qingyue.

Under the gaze of everyone, Lin Qingyue inserted the key into the lock and turned it slightly.

Accompanied by a crisp 'click' sound, the delicate lock was unlocked, and Lin Qingyue slowly opened the box to reveal the contents inside.

In front of everyone, Lin Qingyue took out the contents of the box one by one. There was indeed silver in the box, but only five ingots were placed on the top of the box.

What is pressed underneath is just some miscellaneous things, outdated Zhuchai, used brushes, half-repaired embroidery... Except for the few ingots of silver, the rest are all rags that even the servants in the mansion don't bother to glance at. .

Aunt Lin looked at the things on the table, her expression became more and more sinister.

"It's you! You plotted against me on purpose! You must have changed the things here! You deliberately set up a trick to lure me to ask me to become a monk. You did it on purpose!"

Lin Qingyue lowered her brows, looked at Aunt Lin with an innocent face, and said, "Qingyue really doesn't understand what Aunt Lin is talking about, but I want to ask why Aunt Lin has been so sure about everything in this box since just now. Is it silver?
It's as if... I saw it with my own eyes. "

Speaking of this, Lin Qingyue's bewildered expression suddenly startled, she looked at Aunt Lin in horror and said, "Could it be that Aunt Lin sent someone to monitor Qingyue, and the person only saw the silver on the top of the box and told her Auntie, is this box full of silver?"

Under the sympathetic eyes of everyone, Lin Qingyue picked up a beautiful stone from the table and walked to Aunt Lin with a hurt face, and said in a choked voice: "This box is filled with Qingyue's precious treasures." This stone was given to Qingyue by my aunt back then, and Qingyue kept it carefully all the time, does my aunt still remember?"
