Chapter 47 Intercession
In fact, when I found the new clothes that should belong to Lin Yingmeng in Lin Yingxue's yard, the servant who was responsible for decorating already understood that it was his omission that led to the current result.
But he has been working in the Lin Mansion for several years, and he knows the character of the fourth lady. If he stands up and admits that it is actually his mistake, he will probably be severely punished.
Since that's the case, it's not his business that he might as well bite to death. Anyway, the fourth lady is also suspicious of the fifth lady now. As long as he beats him to death and refuses to admit it, the matter will definitely not fall into him...
Thinking of this, the servant was somewhat dodging when facing Lin Yingxue's questioning gaze. "Miss Fifth, I have to be in charge of speaking. The young man has been working in the mansion for so many years and has rarely made mistakes. This time, he checked it repeatedly when decorating the items. The young man can guarantee that the problem is definitely not the young man!"
It wasn't it from you, was it from herself? Lin Yingxue's eyes narrowed, and she had a clear idea in her heart as she watched the servant hiding and evasively.
But at the moment, Lin Yingmeng was biting her and the servant was not honest. She couldn't find any other breakthrough to prove her innocence.
Just when the atmosphere was in a stalemate, many people came from outside Biluoxuan. Lin Yingxue glanced briefly, and Song, the eldest wife, Lin Yingling and others were all here! It seemed that before coming to her yard, Lin Yingmeng had already made a lot of noise, otherwise it would not have attracted most of the important people of the Lin family at this time.
"What's going on? I heard a noisy here in the yard, Yingmeng, have you found your clothes?" The person who asked was Song.
Of course, Lin Yingxue knew very well that what Song asked was nonsense. After all, if Song didn't know that Lin Yingmeng's clothes were in her yard, why would she come over?
"Go back to my second aunt, I found it, right here at the fifth sister!" Seeing the Lin family coming, Lin Yingmeng became more and more arrogant. "The fifth sister is still unwilling to admit it, but the evidence is conclusive. Can this matter be wrong? Look, the fifth sister has been staying in the countryside for a long time, and has learned all the bad habits of stealing! "
Lin Yingmeng did not hide her disdain and disgust for Lin Yingxue at all. Although the others were not as exposed as Lin Yingmeng acted, they were not much better than Lin Yingmeng.
"Oh, there is something like this?" Song looked very surprised and turned to look at Lin Yingxue, "Yingxue, what Yingmeng said is true?"
"Is it true or false? Can I decide?" Lin Yingxue knew that a punishment would definitely be inevitable today, so she simply stopped arguing and just asked with a sneer.
When Song was choked by Lin Yingxue, he suddenly became a little unhappy, "Yingxue, what are you saying? If it wasn't for you, then your mother will naturally find out the matter and give you justice. If it was really for you..."
"Then mom, don't worry about my fifth sister. If you should be punished, you have to punish them. Otherwise, if the matter spreads in the future, how will people outside laugh at me in the Lin family?" Before Song's words could be said, Lin Yingling, who was standing beside him, had already taken over the conversation.
Song turned his head to look at his daughter, remembered the words his niece had said to her, and his eyes became a little unkind when he looked at Lin Yingxue.
Now that things have come to this, looking at the people around who are only thinking about watching the show, Lin Yingxue simply sneered and stopped talking.
Lin Ying dreamed that Lin Yingxue was silent and couldn't help but say proudly: "Look, I just said that her hands and feet were not clean and she refused to admit it before. Now that the second aunt comes, she is so scared that she can't even speak. Second aunt, when you deal with the fifth sister, you must not favor the fifth sister just because she is from the second wife!"
Song had already thought about using this matter to teach Lin Yingxue a lesson. At this time, Lin Yingmeng's fanning the flames gave her a reason to take action.
"That's right, Yingxue is a lady from the Lin family after all, so how to deal with it is also a difficult problem..."
"What's the difficulty? If the servants below did such a thing, they would definitely have to sack their hands and drive them out of the Lin family. Now that the perpetrator is the fifth sister, it's not too much to slap twenty boards." Seeing that Song was hesitant and unable to make a decision, Lin Yingmeng couldn't help but feel anxious and hurriedly suggested on the side.
"This..." Song's eyes lit up when he heard this, but he still looked extremely distressed and said to Lin Yingxue: "Yingxue, it's not that my mother told you that this stealing is big or small. Now it happened at home, and ten or twenty boards passed. If you were outside, it might be that your life might be in danger!"
"So my mother thinks that the punishment for twenty boards is not too serious for you. After all, only when it really hurts can you know what to do and what not to do." Song's appearance of being tempted and hard-working, he really looks like a most merciful mistress.
However, after hearing Song's words, Lin Yingxue had no other emotions except for a deeper sneer on her face. "If you want to add a crime, why not say anything? Stop talking, just beat him quickly."
"this……"
Regardless of whether this matter was Lin Yingxue's fault, Lin Yingxue's reaction was beyond everyone's expectations. Looking at the proud girl who looked indifferent, as if she didn't take them seriously, everyone felt that a sense of unconscious displeasure arose in their hearts, but this displeasure cannot be explained why.
Perhaps it was just because the girl with an indifferent look did not show the reaction they expected. The feeling of failure of the expectation made them less happy when watching the show.
Song originally wanted to pretend to be a good person in front of everyone, but now seeing Lin Yingxue so ignorant, she no longer has the interest to disguise herself.
She raised her hand and ordered the servant who was busy walking over: "Go and prepare the family law. The fifth lady is guilty of theft and is punished twenty boards. She will close the house and reflect on it for one month."
"yes!"
"etc!"
The servant received the order and was about to leave, but the eldest lady who had been by the side had never made any sound suddenly spoke and stopped the servant's actions.
When the servant heard the sound, he couldn't help but stop, turned his head and looked at the eldest wife Liu in confusion. Even the others cast doubtful eyes at Liu like the servant.
Seeing everyone looking at her, Liu couldn't help but smile, and a look of embarrassment appeared on her face, "My brother and sister, I shouldn't have interrupted you when you do things, but I think Yingxue doesn't look like a child with unclean hands and feet. It seems a bit inappropriate to just put such a serious crime on her with a new dress."
"What's more, the child is still young. What if the body is broken if these twenty boards are broken? So I think it should be for the sake of not only the reputation of the Lin family, but also for the health of the child. This matter should be turned into small matters and small matters. I wonder what you think, brother and sister?"
