Forced into a substitute marriage? The concubine’s unparalleled medical skills amaze the world

"At that time, people were still a little wary of court officials."

When Zhou Zhaohe said this, he suddenly chuckled: "Maybe it's disdain. I think Lin Zhoushi is too timid, so I don't take him seriously at all."

"It's easy to kill, but the court will send people there, so it would be troublesome to go back and forth like this."

"It's better to keep Lin Zhou's life alive. He is a coward and useless person anyway."

Zhou Zhaohe sighed slightly: "The Linzhou envoy has been in office there for ten years."

“I spent several years there, too.”

"Later, I returned to the capital because I had something to do. Then I went to Liangzhou to receive the news of Lin Liao's death."

Lin Liao was originally a capital official, because he did not know how to adapt and was timid.

Then he was tricked and went to Liangzhou.

He stayed in Liangzhou with his wife and daughter for eleven years.

In the end, the whole family died in Liangzhou.

No one in the Lin family survived.

The death was tragic, and I heard that the blood dyed the land of Lin Mansion dark red.

The same is true for the now abandoned Lin Mansion.

Even now, no one dares to get close. I heard that as long as you get close to Lin Mansion, you will feel the biting cold.

People of the older generation said that this was because the Lin family’s grievances were still there, and their grievances were too heavy.

So when you are close to Lin Mansion, you will feel cold.

Lin Liao is a person who doesn't know how to judge.

He is both a good official and a bad official.

If we say he is a good official, he is also timid and cowardly and dare not take care of the barbarians and the vicious prisoners who fled here.

But if he is not a good official, his whole family was killed because of saving people.

As for that matter, almost the entire Liangzhou knew about it.

Lin Liao had a daughter who was about to get married, but she died because of that incident.

And Lin Liao's prospective son-in-law didn't know where he went later.

I just heard that that man killed everyone who killed Lin Liao's family.

Their heads were placed neatly in front of the Lin family's tombstone.

The Lin family was killed for offending people. After the Lin family died, no one dared to help them collect the bodies. They just lay there. Later, the Lin family's former son-in-law restrained and buried them.

Not long afterward, someone saw more than a dozen heads placed in front of the Qi family's new grave.

One of them belongs to the person Lin Liao saved back then.

Everyone else guessed that they were the ones who killed Lin Liao's family.

Zhou Zhaohe's expression changed somewhat, and he lowered his eyes as if he was immersed in sadness.

"Lin Liao originally protected himself well, but that day he was possessed by ghosts for some unknown reason."

"He saw a family being bullied by the barbarians on the road. The woman was pushed to the ground and her clothes were torn off."

"The man was pushed to the ground and beaten badly, and blood was spitted all over the floor."

"The woman also has a three-year-old girl."

Zhou Zhaohe took a deep breath before continuing: "He didn't intend to meddle in other people's business. Although he is a state envoy, in a place like this, a state envoy is nothing."

"His wife and daughter are still waiting for him at home."

"But he had just taken a few steps when he was stopped by the man. He asked Lin Liao to save him."

"He yelled and cursed, saying that Lin Liao was not worthy of being an official, and watched helplessly as they were bullied by these barbarians."

"Although Lin Liao felt a little guilty, he still didn't move."

"Until the barbarian kicked the man hard, looked at Lin Liao provocatively, and reached out to the little girl."

"The little girl was only eight years old. She looked at Lin Liao and asked for help."

"Lin Liao did the boldest thing in his life. He stepped forward and drove those people away with a strong attitude."

"Those people looked at the people around them who shared the same hatred as Lin Liao, and finally left."

"They stared at Lin Liao fiercely before leaving."

"After this incident, only half a month later, members of the Lin family were killed."

Zhou Zhaohe spoke with some effort, as if he was recalling an extremely bad thing.

He squeezed the hands hanging in his sleeves tightly and waited for a moment before continuing: "The female members of the Lin family all committed suicide in order not to be humiliated."

"But they still didn't escape, and the barbarians chopped their bodies into pieces."

"It took several days just to put the pieces together."

Zhou Zhaohe looked up at Zhou Jingxuan and forced a smile: "Are you curious about how I know so much?"

"Still so careful?"

"Do you know why Uncle Wang and I didn't marry and have children?"

He closed his eyes and smiled: "Because my wife is dead, and there is no one else in this world that I want to marry."

"Fortunately, I am an idle prince, and no one will restrain me by passing on the family line."

Zhou Jingxuan was silent for a long time before speaking: "So Uncle Wang is the prospective son-in-law of the Lin family?"

Zhou Zhaohe nodded: "When I returned to Beijing at that time, it was for my marriage to Niannian."

"I have already agreed with Brother Huang that when I get married to Niannian, I will transfer Lin Liao back and arrange a minor official for him to stay in the capital."

"It's good that the family can be together."

"As promised, I have prepared all the betrothal gifts."

"Nian Nian said she likes Shili Hongzhuang. This shows that she takes it seriously, so I prepared Shili Hongzhuang."

Zhou Zhaohe sighed: "But it's a little bit worse."

"It's just a little short of it, and I can be happy."

"When I arrived, the bodies of the Lin family had been lying there for several days, and no one was collecting their bones for fear of revenge."

"I heard that it was the family that Lin Liao saved that brought the Hu people to the Lin family that night."

"They knocked on the door and induced people to open it. Then the barbarians and their accomplices swarmed up and killed all the servants of the Lin Mansion."

"Niannian's body was chopped into many pieces. It took me a long time to see her body put together completely."

"I promised her that I would only marry her in this life, and I didn't break my promise."

"Later I went to find the family who was rescued by Lin Liao."

"When they found out that I was the son-in-law of the Lin Liao family, they acted arrogantly and spoke viciously. They said that Lin Liao, as the state envoy, should have protected them."

"Even if he dies, he should be dead. It's none of their business."

"This is what Lin Liao should do. They didn't kill Lin Liao. Why are you looking for them? If you have the ability, look for those who killed Lin Liao."

"I will kill them all."

"I don't know why Lin Liao wanted to save such a person. It would have been better if he had been as timid as before."

Zhou Zhaohe lowered his eyes and a wry smile appeared on his face: "Later on, I will go to Liangzhou every year."

"There is no one else in the Lin family, except me, and no one has cleaned the weeds on their tombs."

"Also, I also want to see Nian Nian."

"I heard that people have reincarnation. If it is true, Nian Nian might be a big girl by now."

"She should be safe and happy in this life."
