Chapter 10 Goodbye Sister-in-law
A few days later, Du Shengping was promoted without any surprise. Another happy event was that Du Zhilan woke up.

But the eldest lady burst into tears of joy, and even took care of the Gao Sheng celebration banquet prepared for Du Shengping.

But Du Zhilan had been in a coma for nearly a month, and she could only be fed some simple water rice all day long, and she was always hung with wild ginseng.

When she wakes up now, she always screams dizzy and nausea, and what's worse, she has completely forgotten why she was attacked.

The doctor said that this is a self-protection mechanism for people to subconsciously forget the tragic scene when they were hit hard on the head. As for whether they will remember it one day, no one can say.

Du Ruolan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

***
Unsurprisingly, the person who came to congratulate Du Shengping was Master Sheng, the envoy. Du Heng reckoned that he had already started working in the Ministry of Officials to seek a higher official position for the eldest son Sheng Ruchi;
Du Heng has a good impression of this "little uncle". The Sheng family is a noble family, and Sheng Ruchi is also a gentleman. He and his little aunt fell in love at first sight. They happened to chant for the same willow tree during the Spring Festival.

Sheng Ruchi didn't care much about being an official. He had been looking for a part-time job in Honglu Temple. Before the accident happened in the Lin family, he and Lin Ling were on par with Lin Ling, gambling with books and pouring tea to envy many people.

Not only that, but Du Heng also met unexpected people: his little aunt Lin Ling and Sheng Ruchi's cousin Sheng Yu.

Sheng Ruchi wanted to take his daughter-in-law out to relax, but Sheng Yu, since his "fiancée" had woken up, it would be unreasonable not to come.

Hearing about Du Zhilan's amnesia, she even comforted her "future husband and mother-in-law" with a gesture of pity. Naturally, she was extremely grateful.

Du Heng looked at his little aunt's thin appearance from a distance, and felt extremely distressed:

She couldn't wear mourning for the Lin family in an open and honest manner, so she could only wear simple plain clothes and only a silver hairpin on her head.

The thin neck is like a fragile reed, unable to withstand the beating of any waves;
The thin shoulders make the clothes look extra big. Seen from the back, the thin shoulder blades are clearly visible, like a butterfly that wants to fly away after being drenched in the rain.

She didn't even bring a maid.

Du Heng really wanted to hug her, draw strength from her, and pass it on to her.

Most of the relatives of the two of them have been buried in Huangquan, and the temperature that freezes through life and death is an unbearable pain in the bottom of their hearts that neither of them is willing to touch easily.

But Du Heng couldn't do anything, he couldn't even talk to her about what was in his heart.

But Du Heng thought that it would be better to find another way.

She went to Du Zhilan's place, Mr. Sheng's wife - Sheng Ruchi's mother was also familiar with Mrs. Du's family, so naturally she should come and see Du Zhilan.

While they were still exchanging greetings in the main hall, Du Heng came to Du Zhilan's residence.

Since she woke up, the maids inside are no longer around as before, but she often falls asleep.

There was only a little girl on duty inside, and while she was changing the water, Du Heng did some light work and found a suitable place to lie.

Lin Zhijun is a martial artist, so after she became Du Heng, she also exercised a little bit to pick up martial arts.

Although she is not at the level of a master, she is more than enough to protect herself, and she has been focusing on practicing lightness kung fu well.

Just as she was thinking, Mrs. Du and Mrs. Sheng walked in together. Mrs. Du lovingly touched Du Zhilan's temples, dazzled her eyes with a handkerchief, and said, "My poor son".

Madam Sheng who watched was also emotionally moved, and couldn't help crying.

Looking at it further, Du Zhilan should be woken up by the movement, and the two of them quickly moved outside to talk.

"Sister of the Du family, do you think Zhilan's child has woken up too? If you ask me, she is blessed with great fortune. By the way, does Zhilan still remember the murderer who killed that child?"

Madam Du shook her head bitterly.

"Alas", Mrs. Sheng sighed, "If Zhilan was older and fit for my unworthy Chi'er, how could such a thing be like today?"

Du Heng pricked up his ears, the time for caring for others is over, and it's time for Mrs. Sheng to pour out her bitterness.

Moreover, Du Heng urgently needs to know from other people whether his little aunt is doing well.

Madam Du didn't show it on the face, so what kind of thing is Sheng Yu?
Back then, when Du Shengping was inferior in official position to the Sheng family, he only gave his eldest daughter to Sheng Yu. Now that he is on an equal footing, who wouldn't say polite words?

But Mrs. Du is not stupid: "Who says it's not? I can only blame my son for being unlucky! Fortunately, our two families are still relatives by marriage!"

When the subject changed, it seemed to be sarcasm: "Now that the Lin family has been convicted, Chi'er still treats the Lin family daughter as before?"

"That's not it," Mrs. Sheng shook the veil anxiously,

"The more I tried to persuade Chi'er to stay away from that Lin's daughter, and just feed her with food and drink, Chi'er refused to listen, and tried to please his wife in different ways. He has never treated me like an old lady. So caring!"

Sheng Ruchi is pretty good.Du Heng thought to himself.

"It's simple, why don't you take Chi'er as a concubine?" Mrs. Du suggested.

"Why didn't I think about it? Long before the Lin family was convicted, Chi'er's doting on her was so shocking. He didn't even look at the beauty I deliberately arranged;
Now he is even more dazed, saying that his wife has been wronged greatly, wishing to guard his daughter-in-law every day, for fear that I will set rules for her;
It even made a rule that in the yard of the couple, apart from serving Lin's daughter, no mother is allowed anymore!Tell me, are you pissed off! "

After hearing this, Mrs. Du felt a little envious in her heart.

Du Heng felt a little bad when he heard it. Sheng Ruchi didn't understand women's psychology. The more he favored his wife, the more his mother would hate her.

She felt that she should remind her little aunt in due course that it was necessary to be tempered by her mother-in-law.

Not long after, the two of them got up and left. Du Heng also left as quietly as when he came, and got up to find his little aunt Lin Ling.

Before she could finish her speech, she watched her little aunt walking by the waterside pavilion from a distance.

Her identity, of course, is that everyone avoids them like snakes and scorpions, she simply lives in isolation, and her eyes are pure.

Lin Ling got on the bridge as he walked, looked around, saw all the verandas and curving railings, looked up, and wrote "Bijing Pavilion" in three big characters, the surrounding area is a misty green, it's really nice to be exquisite.

Lin Ling also felt tired from walking, and just about to sit down and rest, suddenly a strong force came from behind: "Little sister-in-law, you really miss me!"

Sheng Yu embraced Lin Ling from behind, tightly restraining her struggle with both arms, and took a deep breath from between her shoulders and neck.

Lin Ling felt goosebumps all over her body, but she couldn't break free because of the posture of her back, "Let me go!"

"Hmph, I have missed you for a long time, my little sister. I never had a chance and didn't dare to do anything in the past. Now your mother's family has long been a pile of loess, and you are disliked by others in the Sheng family. Let me go! Maybe I can give you some good words! Speaking of which, I have tried everything, but I still don’t know what this woman is like!

Hiss—bitch, what are you doing! "

Lin Ling couldn't break free, so she could only chop Sheng Yu's foot fiercely, and then hit the back of her head so hard that Sheng Yu let her go.As soon as Lin Ling turned around, she saw two tubes of blood dripping from Sheng Yu's nose.

"Do you think you can escape, little bitch? Let me tell you, just don't say that there is no one here. If you really attract people by calling out, I will tell everyone that you intend to seduce my uncle—"

Before he could finish his nonsense, Lin Ling widened his eyes, looking at Sheng Yu who fell to the ground in an instant, and the expressionless girl behind Sheng Yu who was holding a big lake stone effortlessly.

It was her who knocked Sheng Yu unconscious.
