King of Song

Chapter 3 The Weasel Greets the Chicken

Lin Zhao only asked a few questions, and everyone understood them clearly, even the old and dull Mrs. Meng remembered it.

It seems that Xiaotao's testimony has serious problems and is full of loopholes. Could it be that Lin Zhao has been wronged?
But why did Xiaotao wrong him?Is there a misunderstanding, or is there something else hidden?
The reaction is quicker, and those who have a gossip hobby have already started to make up their own brains...

Mrs. Meng sat upright in the chair, and asked sharply, "Xiao Tao, what's going on?"

Xiaotao was already in a panic at this moment, after a few answers revealed her flaws, she didn't know how to lie?From time to time, he glanced at his master—Young Madam Li!

Mrs. Li knew that the matter had come to an end, and the villain's wishful thinking of suing first had come to nothing, and he still shot himself in the foot.She didn't have time to think too much about how Lin Zhao, who had always been dull-headed, became so smart today.She only knew that once the stealing was revealed, she would die without a place to bury her. What should she do?what to do?
Mrs. Li glanced at Chen Xuan secretly. Chen Xuan was also very nervous. He seduced a married woman. With the status and influence of the Meng family, can he spare himself?
Lin Zhao knew about it, but why didn't he say it?By the way, it was because he had no evidence, thinking of this, Chen Xuan felt much relieved.The most important thing now is how Xiaotao explains it, she has to justify it!

Chen Xuan forced himself to calm down, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and said: "In this way, I may have wronged Lin Zhao. At that time, I heard the shout and rushed to the gate of the courtyard. While catching the thief, Xiaotao seemed to be sneaky. I didn't pay attention at the time, but now that I think about it, it seems a bit wrong..."

Mrs. Li is also a bit shrewd, and Chen Xuan heard the implication when he finished speaking, sobbing: "Xiao Tao, you are a maid from my natal family, and you have been close to me like sisters since childhood, if you do something wrong... Come out, it doesn't matter..."

Nima, the tongue is fast!Obviously, blatantly implying that he should abandon the car to save his handsomeness!Lin Zhao sighed softly, looking at Xiaotao with a little more pitiful and mocking eyes!

"I...I..." Xiaotao was stunned and speechless. She was originally a witness who framed others, but now she became a target of public criticism.

"Could it be that his hands and feet were dirty and he stole something?" Chen Xuan reminded intentionally or unintentionally.

Mrs. Li also stopped crying, and said, "Xiaotao, what was the situation at that time? You said it...Knowing mistakes can be corrected, there is nothing good about it!" She winked frequently when everyone was not paying attention.

Xiaotao gradually came to her senses, and immediately said, "Ma'am, it's the servant's fault..."

Both Chen Xuan and Li breathed a sigh of relief. They made up a story first and took the initiative. It was just a small mistake.If Lin Zhao opened his mouth first, things would really be a little troublesome...

Under the persuasive temptation of Chen Xuan and Li Shi, Xiaotao finally told the truth: "I stole the jade bracelet that the son gave to the young lady, and Lin Zhao saw it. I was afraid that he would report it, so I framed him first... "

Lin Zhao clapped his hands and said with a smile, "Okay, the truth is revealed!"

Whether it was for himself or for the Meng brothers and sisters, Lin Zhao wanted to expose this shameless couple, but there was no evidence.If you say it rashly, you may be beaten again, so you must restrain yourself...

Chen Xuan and Li's adulterous and promiscuous couple are indeed hateful, but Lin Zhao has no evidence in his hands, so naturally he can't talk nonsense.Li's abandoning his car to keep his handsome man, sacrificing a confidant is considered retribution!If I get real evidence for myself in the future, I will definitely make them look good!
"What?" Mrs. Meng said angrily, "His hands and feet are not clean, and the villain wants to sue and frame others first? What's hateful is that he doesn't care about the name of the master..."

"Old madam, I know I'm wrong, I know I'm wrong, old madam forgive me..." Xiaotao is already familiar with the role at this moment, and her performance can be said to be quite good.

Mrs. Meng said: "The lowly servant girl should be beaten to death with a stick..."

"Young Madam, this servant realizes his mistake, Young Madam, please help!" What happened next was completely expected.

Mrs. Li pleaded: "Grandmother, Xiaotao lost her head thinking about it for a while. For the sake of serving her granddaughter-in-law for many years, please forgive her this time!"

Mrs. Meng pondered for a moment, and said: "Since your master begged for mercy, let me forgive you first. Let it go on first, shut the door in the firewood room and think about it for a few days before we talk..."

"Mrs. Xie, Mrs. Xie..." Xiaotao pretended to be grateful, but she didn't glance at Mrs. Li, reminding her master to save her.

"This matter ends here, and no one will bring it up again!" Mrs. Meng has always believed in one thing, that family ugliness should not be publicized.

Meng Ruoying remained silent, always feeling that things were turning too fast, and there seemed to be something wrong.Especially him, his suspicious gaze fell on Lin Zhao involuntarily, leaving some doubts in his heart...

Mrs. Meng was very polite, and said apologetically, "Brother Lin, I'm wronged! How's the injury? Ask a doctor to treat you!"

Accept it when you see it, Lin Zhao still understands this principle, and said with a smile: "Madam Xie is concerned, it's okay..."

The matter has come to this point, and it has come to an end for the time being.Mrs. Li bowed her head in silence, Chen Xuan also left in despair, and dared not go to the door for many days after that...

Until then, Meng Ruogu, the eldest son of the Meng family, just came back from the state school, and he didn't know about it at all...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lin Zhao returned with his uncle Gu Qi and his cousin Gu Yuelun. The three low bungalows on the edge of the Meng family compound could be considered a home!After all, Lin Zhao and his uncle's family of three are servants of the Meng family...

Servant, why such a humble status?

Searching for related memories in his mind, Lin Zhao sighed softly, and could only say that time is fate!

According to his uncle Gu Qi, his family's ancestral home is Zhuozhou. His hometown was flooded in his early years, and his parents died. His uncle fled to Jiangning with him in his arms.Thanks to Mrs. Meng's shelter, he was able to survive!
Later, Gu Qi became a cook in the Meng family because of his cooking skills.Gu Qi said that the Lin family was originally a scholarly family, and he hoped that his nephew could also read and write, and he asked for help for this matter.Later, because Lin Zhao was about the same age as the young master Sun of the Meng family, the old lady gave her permission to become a schoolboy with her.

Later, Gu Qi married the mute embroiderer Liu Shi, and gave birth to his cousin Gu Yuelun.Because of their craftsmanship, the whole family is considered to be prestigious among the servants of the Meng family.

Even so, he was just a servant after all.It is even more common for people to be driven by others and suffer inhumane treatment like today.

When you came to the Song Dynasty, it was worthwhile to hook up with a few beauties. How can you do it without a free body?Who ever heard of a servant having three wives and four concubines?
Yes, I have to find a way to leave the Meng family and set up my own family!Suddenly, Lin Zhao established his first goal after time travel.

"Cousin, are you okay?" Seeing Lin Zhao was silent along the way, Gu Yuelun asked with concern.

It was only then that Lin Zhao noticed that the little cousin had a sweet appearance, exquisite facial features, a coarse hairpin skirt, and the beauty of Xiaojiabiyu vividly appeared in front of her eyes.But at the age of 14, she is already a beauty embryo.Lin Zhao believed that in two years' time, her looks might not be as good as Meng Ruoying's.

As soon as he entered the room, under the dim light, the dumb aunt Liu Shi had been waiting at the door for a long time.She couldn't speak, her eye sockets were already wet, obviously she had been worried for a long time, and she looked at Lin Zhao with affection.The loneliness caused by time travel has also been diluted by this strong family affection...

Uncle Gu Qi nodded and said, "It's fine..."

"Cousin, what happened today?" Gu Yuelun asked in a low voice.

Gu Qi's eyes were also full of doubts, and he also felt that this matter was not that simple...

"It's nothing, it's a complete misunderstanding..." Lin Zhao didn't want them to worry about it, so he played a sloppy eye.

Just at this time, there was a knock on the door, but the person who came was Xing'er, the maid of Li's concubine, the Young Madam!
"Young Madam ordered the servants to come and bring some medicinal wine for Lin Ge'er. I'm really sorry for causing Lin Ge'er to be wronged today..."

Lin Zhao sneered in his heart, a bit like a weasel wishing a chicken a New Year's greeting...
