Rebirth of the Phoenix

Chapter 40

Chen Shi and Li Shi both knelt down, and as their dowry, Zhang Shi and Jiang Shi couldn't stand any longer, so they also hurriedly knelt down, but their children were still alive and well. , so of course there is no grievance to cry about, and I can only talk about my grievances over and over again, such as how the Lu family suppressed them and how they defrauded them these years.

In fact, whether these things are true or not, everyone knows in their hearts.Mrs. Lu really doesn't like these concubines and concubines and concubines very much, and she has indeed harmed some people, but if it is really said, except for Mrs. Hu's audacity, it is really not on the list Who was deducted.It's just that it doesn't matter whether there is such a thing now, what matters is whether Lin Chengmao wants to have it or not!

As for Lin Chengmao's attitude, no one present did not understand. Otherwise, where did Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Jiang have the courage to slander Mrs. Lu? !
Mrs. Liu, who had been following behind Mrs. Lu to install the murals, unconsciously flickered a few times when she saw this, hesitated for a moment, and knelt down after her.Mrs. Liu knew that something was really going to happen to Mrs. Lu, and she didn't want to be buried with her. If anything happened, Mrs. Lu might still be able to save her life by relying on her own tenacity, but as a pawn, could she still count on it? Will anyone come to the rescue?
Since others are unreliable, Mrs. Liu can only find a way to save herself!So what if he was said to have betrayed the Lord?So what if he fell out of favor completely?In Liu's view, none of these matters!As long as he can survive, even if he has to sit on the bench for a lifetime, Mrs. Liu is willing to do so.

When Yang saw everyone kneeling down, she followed suit.For things like this, it's better to be more gregarious, isn't it?

"You, you..." Lin Yuting trembled with anger when she saw this.

Seeing this, Lu Shi completely calmed down.She understands that these things are not important at all, the key lies in Lin Chengmao's attitude. If Lin Chengmao is really determined to bring her down, then even if she is like a white lotus flower, she has no mistakes at all, and she can get from the egg If Lin Chengmao wants to defend her wholeheartedly, then even if her evidence of crime is conclusive, he can find enough reasons for her, just like before.

Lin Chengmao listened to everyone rushing to order and complain, even though he had a certain understanding and preparation for what Lu Shi did in his heart, he still couldn't help being angry.It is said that marrying a wife and marrying a virtuous man, but he never thought that he would marry such a woman. Is this because he wants them to make the Duke's mansion a successor? !
"What else do you have to say?" Lin Chengmao asked holding back his anger.Originally, Lin Chengmao still felt a little guilty about sacrificing Lu's family, but now it seems that his decision is really wise.

"I only have one question to ask the master!" Shi Lu stopped the emotional Lin Yuting and asked calmly.

Seeing that Lu Shi's reaction was different from what he expected, Lin Chengmao took a deep breath, "Say!"

"Why?" Lu looked at Lin Chengmao with burning eyes.Only when she knew why, could she think of a way to save Lin Yuting, or even turn herself over!
Lin Chengmao couldn't understand Lu's meaning for a while, and he was furious when he heard the words, "You still have the face to ask why?! Are your ears deaf?! Didn't you hear what they said just now?! Did it?" There are so many shits, how dare you ask why?!"

Listening to Lin Chengmao's angry reprimand, Lu's expression didn't change at all. After the other party finished venting, he asked again, "Do you know what I'm asking and why?"

After venting just now, Lin Chengmao's mood stabilized a bit, and then he understood Lu Shi's meaning, looked at his married wife with complicated eyes, and sighed after a while, "Forget it! Come in with me."

Seeing this, Mrs. Xin couldn't help saying, "Chengmao, you..." She knew her son's character, and she was afraid that Lin Chengmao's heart would soften again later. Be careful, the century-old foundation of Dingguo Mansion is about to be ruined!
Lin Chengmao bowed slightly, "Mother, don't worry! The son has his own measure."

In front of so many people, Mrs. Xin couldn't tell the truth, so she could only gently remind her, "I just want to tell you, don't forget your identity."

Lin Chengmao led the training, "My son understands."

"Mother..." Lin Yuting held Lu Shi's hand tightly, and looked at her worriedly, her eyes were full of uneasiness.

Lu patted Lin Yuting's hand lightly, trying to smile at her, but found that he couldn't do it, so he could only touch Lin Yuting's hair to express comfort.

Lin Yuting let go of Lu Shi helplessly, and watched Lu Shi follow Lin Chengmao into the room, the handkerchief in her hand was about to be torn into rags by her.

Lin Chengmao left, but the atmosphere in the main hall of Meiyuan did not become relaxed because of this.There is certainly one reason why Mrs. Xin is still sitting on it, but what is more important is that everyone is guessing what Lin Chengmao and Lu Shi are talking about inside.

Lin Yuting was the only one who was really worried about Lu Shi.The others, including Lu Shi's dowry, Liu Shi, all wished for Lu Shi to be more unlucky.After all, for Lu Shi, her behavior today is considered a complete betrayal.In case Lu Shi is really escaped, others may still be spared, but it is absolutely impossible for Liu Shi to be let go.

The rest of the people, although their motivations are different, are still very united in their desire for the downfall of the Lu family.

Mrs. Xin was worried about the foundation of Dingguo Mansion and Lin Chengmao's future. Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Li wanted to avenge their children, and Mrs. Yang hoped that she could go further.

Therefore, seeing that things might change, everyone became anxious at the same time.

Meiyuan is the residence of Mrs. Xin, and Lin Chengmao is a very filial person, so the decoration, furnishings, and materials used inside are all excellent, so the sound insulation effect is also very good. What's the point of this, it can even be regarded as a benefit, Mrs. Xin herself is very satisfied.

But in this situation, it is more annoying!Just like when Lin Chengmao and Mrs. Xin were talking inside, people outside couldn't hear anything. Now that Lin Chengmao and Mrs. Lu have gone inside, it's hard to get any news from outside.

The only thing that is reassuring is that the conversation between the two seems not to be pleasant. It was okay at the beginning, but afterward, the voices of Lin Chengmao and Lu Shi became louder and louder. People outside listened to the cries from inside, arguing Except for Lin Yuting's increasingly ugly face, everyone else breathed a sigh of relief.It's fine if you can't agree, it's fine if you don't agree!
Lin Chengmao and Lu Shi talked for about an hour.Mrs. Xin didn't know if it was intentional, or if she really forgot to let everyone get up, and when the legs of everyone kneeling on the ground were numb, the two left the inside one after the other.All eyes immediately focused on Lu Shi. As long as Lu Shi could not turn over, it would be worthwhile for them to kneel for another hour.

No one knows what Lin Chengmao and Lu Shi said inside, but when they came out, their expressions were very calm.Especially Lu Shi, if you remove her slightly messy clothes and hair bun, just look at her expression, she is so calm that it is a little weird.

This kind of performance made everyone feel a little uncertain about the outcome of the matter for a moment.

"Mother, you..." Seeing Lu Shi coming out, Lin Yuting rushed to greet her.Just now when everyone was outside at this hour, everyone looked at her, which made Lin Yuting feel uncomfortable all over her body.She wanted to get angry at first, but since Mrs. Xin was sitting in charge above, Lin Yuting really didn't dare to make a fuss.

No matter how stupid Lin Yuting is, she still understands that the current situation is very unfavorable to Mr. Lu. Even if she can't help Mr. Lu, she must not make trouble for Mr. Lu in the other way!So Lin Yuting, who has always had a bad temper and couldn't stand being wronged, forcibly endured everyone's teasing, ridiculing, sarcasm, and gloating eyes.And this tolerance is an hour!
Yang couldn't help sighing in her heart, if Lin Yuting could see the situation as clearly as she does now, and understand the principle of being able to bend and stretch, things would not have been brought to this point. Yang could see clearly, although it was very vague , but Lu Shi did have a chance to escape safely just now, but it was a pity that Lin Yuting destroyed them all.

Having such a daughter is really embarrassing for Mr. Lu!Yang thought a little hypocritically.

Lu Shi didn't know about Yang Shi's slander, and now she was full of her precious daughter, holding Lin Yuting's hand with a smile on her lips, "Don't be afraid! Mother will always arrange for you."

Hearing what Lu Shi said, everyone who was still worried just now put their hearts back into their stomachs.Being able to say this, it is clear that Lu Shi needs to arrange for his daughter because he can no longer take care of Lin Yuting. Otherwise, if Lu Shi is safe and sound, he can take care of Lin Yuting at any time.

However, it was obvious that everyone heard the words, and put them in Lin Yuting's ears. I don't know if she was born with strong nerves, or if she understood but ignored it on purpose, she really thought that this matter just passed away.

"Mum, as long as you're fine!" Lin Yuting smiled and took Lu Shi's arm.Did she really not hear anything?No, Lin Yuting just didn't want to believe it.Instead of accepting the cruel truth, Lin Yuting would rather create a beautiful illusion for herself, and be able to hide from it for a while.

Lu's eyes smiled softly, but did not nod, but looked at Lin Chengmao, "Master, please don't forget what you promised to go! Auntie, she will always be the eldest lady of Dingguo Duke's Mansion."

Lin Chengmao met Lu's calm and sharp gaze, and nodded unconsciously, "Don't worry! I will definitely do what I promised you. Madam, she will always be my daughter, the eldest daughter of Dingguo's mansion .”

Listening to the conversation between the two, Yang and the others felt more at ease.As soon as he heard this, he knew that Lu Shi really had no way to stay with Lin Yuting anymore, so he entrusted Lin Yuting to Lin Chengmao!There were only a few reasons why Lu could no longer be with Lin Yuting. Yang said that no matter which one it was, she could accept it.
