Lady Jin Fell Apart

Soon, everyone left, and Jin Changshun was also arrested.

Lord Lin looked at Madam Lin:

"Are you satisfied now? The whole family is broken up, hahaha..."

My tenure as Minister of Rites is also coming to an end.

Madam Lin murmured to herself:

"Impossible, it shouldn't have turned out like this, why did it turn out like this?"

Lin Yue should have been born, not my Xi'er. What am I going to do with my Xi'er?

She's only 15! How can she possibly handle this? Waaaaah...

Lord Lin laughed heartily:

"Your daughter is 15 years old, but what about Lin Yue? Lin Yue is only 17!"

You want to kill Lin Yue because of some dowry? How could you do such a thing?

Madam Lin laughed heartily:

"What wouldn't I do? If she didn't want the dowry, wouldn't everything be fine?"

Why do you keep pressuring me? Didn't your Lin Family use this dowry?

Lord Lin looked at her and said:

"Look at yourself, you have the heart of a snake and the face of a scoundrel."

I must have been blind. Why did I choose someone like you?

"Short-sighted and narrow-minded."

Madam Lin slumped onto the stool. She knew she was in the wrong, but what could she do now?

Zhou Wanwan looked at Lin Yue's house and said, "I'm afraid we can't stay here anymore, it's disgusting. Let's go, I'll take you somewhere else."

Lin Yue nodded and said, "Okay."

They were just about to leave when Lord Lin stopped them. Lord Lin looked at Zhou Wanwan and said:

"Miss Zhou, there's no need to go to such extremes."

Have you ever considered that Lin Xi's life is in your hands? She's still a child! Only 15 years old.

Zhou Wanwan frowned slightly as she looked at him and said:

"Lord Lin, what do you mean by that? I don't understand."

The Minister of the Court of Judicial Review has already investigated this matter thoroughly. If you want to hate Madam Lin and Jin Changshun. What does it have to do with me?

Lord Lin was quite agitated. "Lin Yue is my daughter, so it's best if she stays at home until she gets married."

Zhou Wanwan scoffed coldly:

"It's not safe for her to live at home. What if something bad happens to her?"

And what about the dowry? I wonder if Lord Lin has prepared it? Shouldn't it be returned by now?"

Lord Lin looked coldly at Zhou Wanwan and said:

I will prepare these dowries.

As for my daughter, it's better for her to stay at home. I will send people to protect her safety.

Zhou Wanwan nodded, patted Lin Yue's hand, and said, "In that case, you should stay at home!"

Lin Yue was filled with fear and grabbed Zhou Wanwan's hand, saying, "Miss, I... I'm a little scared."

Zhou Wanwan chuckled and said, "Don't worry! Don't worry about anything, just sleep peacefully, I'll take care of everything."

Lin Yue then nodded.

Lord Lin looked down at Lin Yue and said, "Are you satisfied with what you've done to the Lin Family?"

Lin Yue was too lazy to waste words with him and found a guest room to stay in.

Lord Lin returned to his room and looked at Madam Lin, saying, "Hand over the dowry; don't force me to take action."

Madam Lin sobbed, "I moved part of my dowry to my maternal family's estate. I did it... I did it for the sake of our Lin Family!"

Lord Lin led a group of people to the manor, and Madam Lin also followed in the carriage.

But when they arrived at her family's estate, they found the warehouses completely empty.

Madam Lin was shocked and exclaimed, "I left all my dowry here and even assigned more than a dozen people to watch over it. How could it possibly be gone?"

Lord Lin slapped her hard across the face several times, saying, "Lady Jin, do you want to die?"

Lady Jin cried uncontrollably.

"I really put all my dowry here, my husband, please believe me! Waaaaah..."

Oh my god, how did things turn out like this?

Zhou Wanwan looked at the dowry items in the flower hall and said:

"Lin Yue's maternal grandparents' family is quite wealthy; their dowry back then was this much!"

This is only part of it, tsk tsk tsk...

Cheng Ankang looked at the dowry and said:

"Lin Yue's maternal grandparents were salt merchants back then, and they were indeed wealthy. At that time, the Lin Family was also poor and destitute."

When Lin Yue's mother married into the family, her dowry consisted of 88 loads, making countless families in the capital envious.

Zhou Wanwan shook her head and said:

"So what? In the end, she even lost her own life. A woman still has to rely on herself."

Let's return all of this dowry to Lin Yue!

Chen Ankang shook his head and said:

"Master, these are your things, I will not take them."

As for the dowry, the Lin Family Lin Family return it; they also have their pride.

I'm already very content that I was able to marry Lin Yue.

Zhou Wanwan smiled faintly and said, "Alright, then I won't insist. I heard that your Chen Family's mansion has been returned?"

Chen Ankang chuckled:

"I don't know what's wrong with Huo Lingchuan. He always thinks I'm really destitute and don't even have a place to live."

I'm truly speechless. I'm furious today because they're spreading rumors about me everywhere!

I never imagined that the wife I finally wanted to marry would turn out like that. Now she's behaved herself and won't even come out to see guests anymore.

Zhou Wanwan frowned and said, "

That won't do! If he won't see you, then go see him!

No matter what, since you two are such good friends, you should at least send him a wedding invitation, right?

"You two are related by giving away a house."

Chen Ankang couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Isn't this a bit inappropriate? I'm afraid he'll have a complete breakdown."

Zhou Wanwan laughed and said, "Take me with you tomorrow. I want to see him break down too."

Lord Lin was also devastated; the dowry was completely gone, and he had no choice but to have his estate and shops used as collateral.

Fortunately, Madam Lin still had some dowry left, and Lord Lin collected all of it and gave it all to Chen Yue.

Madam Lin held the dowry box and wept:

"No, this is something I've saved up all my life. It was given to me by my family. You can't take it away."

There are six manor houses and more than a dozen shops here, sob sob sob..."

Lord Lin coldly shouted:

"Lady Jin, stop making trouble. If you keep doing this, I'll divorce you. You'd better behave yourself and stay home An'an."

As for Lin Xi, I've already sent her to a nunnery. Let her stay there for the rest of her life!

The Lady Jin collapsed instantly.

The next day, Zhou Wanwan went to the Huo Family with Chen Ankang.

The Huo Family has been shrouded in gloom these past two days. Ever since Chen Ankang returned, Huo Lingchuan has given him the old Chen Family mansion, which has infuriated Madam Huo has been cursing incessantly at home.

"I've never seen anyone like you before. What kind of bet did you make with Chen Ankang?"

Knowing full well that Chen Ankang was no good, now look what happened!

And your taste in people is really terrible. What kind of person is Lin Xi?

You would dare marry a woman who is filthy beyond belief?

Everyone in the capital is laughing at our family now. They used to laugh at the Chen Family, but now look what's happened.

"Our family has become a laughing stock, are you satisfied now?" Madam Huo was so angry that she was panting heavily.
