Chapter 98 Vixen
Qian Tao and Lin Laoqi did something immoral in the ancestral hall, which is considered a certainty, and there is nowhere to deny it.

But Lin Laoqi is not stupid. He will never admit to the arson. If he admits it, it is tantamount to courting death. You must know that the patriarch has the right to use lynching.

"Patriarch, I just did something stupid with this girl, but I didn't start the fire. I wouldn't dare to borrow my guts. What's more, the statues of my ancestors are also enshrined in it!" Lin Laoqi cried.

The old patriarch was still angry, but the other clansmen calmed down a bit, and said, "Lao Qi is confused, it's understandable that he can't control his waistband, but he really doesn't have the guts to say that he set fire to burn people to death." Besides, he and the girl from the Lin family have never met before, so why bother if they have no grievances?"

Mrs. Lin spoke at this moment, and said: "Our girl has done such a disgraceful thing, I will definitely punish her severely, but she has absolutely no chance of arson. Ranran is my daughter, my Miss Lin's, how could she Slaves who cheated on the master?"

"Then who did the arson? I found this unburnt fire from the fire. What is it if someone set the fire?" the old patriarch asked.

"Maybe someone accidentally dropped the candle when they lit it, and it may not be left behind by the arsonist." Mrs. Lin had a plausible argument, but a piece of incense can't be used as evidence.

Mrs. Lin didn't speak at this time, she heard Lin Sizan clearly said that someone threw a torch from the window and set the house on fire.

But when the incident got so serious, it was no longer her family's business. She wanted to take the responsibility away from the Lin family no matter what.

"That's right, it may not be arson. The matter of Qian Tao and Lin Laoqi is just their corrupt personal morality, and they happened to catch up with this fire." Mrs. Lin also helped.

Mrs. Lin and Mrs. Lin glanced at each other. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who have been fighting openly and secretly for so many years now have a unified position.

Lin Xiaoqian also said to the patriarch: "Old patriarch, Qian Tao did something ugly. It is because my Lin family is not strict in discipline. There are too many people in the family. It is inevitable that there are a few who are useless. It is my incompetent discipline and negligence. I accept the punishment! But the arson No matter what, I dare not admit it.”

"Your family sent two girls to chant scriptures and pray for blessings in the shrine, but let the fire burn down the shrine. Don't you need to be responsible?" asked an old man who didn't like Lin Xiaoqian.

Patriarch Lin also asked: "Yeah, she was set on fire while she was inside. Is she a dead person? I heard that she was locked inside. If she didn't set fire intentionally, why would she be locked inside the house, almost with her?" burnt?"

Lin Xiaoqian's face was stiff, and he said: "It was because my youngest daughter was confused for a while. The two sisters had a joke and locked her in the house. They just went back to sleep for a while, but I didn't expect to oversleep. Locked in the house all the time, I didn't know it would catch fire, it was all an accident!"

"That's too many accidents!" Patriarch Lin said disdainfully.

Lin Xiaoqian could only bite the bullet at this time, and continued: "Old patriarch, no matter what, this arson thing cannot be done by our family members. Ranran is my own daughter, who would dare to hurt her? Besides , The shrine was also donated by me back then, how could I burn it down by myself?"

"Of course people with the surname Lin will not burn their own shrines, let alone the statues of their ancestors, but people with foreign surnames may not!" Patriarch Lin glanced at Madam Lin Su.

It's not that the old patriarch didn't hear the rumors in the village. In the past two days, the rumors in private have become more and more serious. They all say that the Su family can't tolerate the daughter of the original wife and wants to put the child to death. To burn Lin Siran to death.

But the ancestors of the Lin family showed their spirits and rained heavily, saving Lin Siran's life.

As a result, the Lin family ignored Mrs. Lin's crimes and allowed her to continue to commit crimes. The ancestors were furious, and so many things happened.

The people in the village were already in awe of ghosts and gods, so they believed in the rumors.

Therefore, the old patriarch also felt that if the real culprit was not found out, it would be impossible to appease the anger of the ancestors, let alone stop the mouths of the clansmen.

Mrs. Lin said: "Old patriarch, you can't talk nonsense. There is no one named Lin here. Except for these servants, it's just me and my daughter-in-law."

"It's good that you know, then ask your daughter-in-law if it's her fault!" Patriarch Lin actually spoke bluntly.

Mrs. Lin was immediately annoyed, and asked, "What crime did I do? I was still sick that night, and I never stepped out of the room. Could it be that I lit the fire?"

"If you don't go out, someone will help you light the fire, and there are crowds of slaves around you!" Patriarch Lin didn't believe this kind of nonsense.

Mrs. Lin snorted, and said: "The patriarch might as well take all these servants to torture and extract confessions, and ask them if I ordered them to set fire! What good does arson do to me? Ranran is also my daughter, Are there still mothers who murder their own children? It's ridiculous."

"Whether she is your daughter, don't you think we don't know?" Patriarch Lin asked coldly, "You are a woman who is not very virtuous, that is, Xiaoqian's father died early, otherwise how could you be tolerated like this?" The shrew came in?"

Patriarch Lin showed no mercy to Mrs. Lin.

In the eyes of the old people, Mrs. Lin who forced the death of the original wife to get a wife and did not treat the original spouse's children well was a poisonous woman who would be immersed in a pig cage, but Lin Xiaoqian was willing to marry this poisonous woman for the sake of the power of the Su family back then.In recent years, people in the village have been stabbed in the back because of this incident.

That's why Lin Xiaoqian almost never returned to his hometown. Now that the officials are getting bigger and bigger, the clansman has tolerated him a lot. After all, in the entire clan, Lin Xiaoqian's official position is the biggest, and everyone always treats him a little less.

But it may not be so polite to Mrs. Lin, especially the old patriarch, it is even more impossible to give this little woman face.

"You...you call me a shrew? You are the head of the clan after all, and you are disrespectful to the old!" Madam Lin was furious, and she couldn't choose what to say.

Lin Xiaoqian immediately scolded: "Bold, how can you talk to the patriarch like this? Apologize to the patriarch!"

"He scolded me, why didn't you say it? Why didn't you let him apologize to me? After all, I'm also the wife of the second rank. Who in the capital is not polite to me. When I came to this crappy place, I was pointed at by a bunch of old men. You even said something to humiliate me, it's just inexplicable!" Mrs. Lin is used to being arrogant, so how can she bear this kind of uselessness.

Lin Xiaoqian's face turned purple, he pointed at Mrs. Lin's nose, his hands trembling, and said, "Do you know the rules? Here, the patriarch is the biggest, you want to accept the family law, right?"

Lin Xiaoqian can pamper Mrs. Lin as much as he likes in private. Close the door, it is a matter between husband and wife, but in front of outsiders, if Mrs. Lin doesn't give him face, he will have no dignity at all as a man. People joke to death.

Patriarch Lin snorted coldly, and said: "Xiaoqian, you really married a good wife, you have really made our Lin family look good!"
