After rebirth, tear the black-hearted husband to pieces and step on the evil mother-in-law
Chapter 172 It's Hard to Have Both
The cloth bag was opened, revealing one hundred taels of silver.
Zhou Jiaoling was stunned by what she saw.
Then I heard Lin Luoling say: "This one hundred taels of silver is what I prepared for you when I was in Yongning Marquis Mansion. You can take the silver and take Qingyao to Xiangyang Prefecture.
There is a jewelry store of our Lin family in Xiangyang Prefecture. I will send someone to inform the shopkeeper there in advance to buy a small house for you and Qingyao. As long as you don't waste this money, it will be enough for you and Qingyao to have no worries about food and clothing in this life."
Lin Luoling did not tell Zhou Jiaoling that the Yongning Marquisate would soon be convicted and the three clans would be implicated, but with Zhou Jiaoling's intelligence, even if she couldn't think of it, she could guess about 50% of it.
The reason why she was willing to give Zhou Jiaoling one hundred taels of silver and let Zhou Jiaoling go to Xiangyang Prefecture was purely because although she did not spend much time with Zhou Jiaoling in her previous life, Zhou Jiaoling reminded her two or three times in words and deeds that Lan Wanshuang's temper was not good.
It's just that in the previous life, Lin Luoling thought that Zhou Jiaoling came from a brothel. Although she was favored by Zhu Jingzhong, she was not his legal wife. She also didn't get along well with Lan Wanshuang on a daily basis, so she just said a few harsh words to him.
It was not until she was dying that she realized that Zhou Jiaoling's words were not just harsh but true.
Although she used Zhou Jiaoling as a knife in her hand in this life, after getting along with Zhou Jiaoling, she deeply felt that Zhou Jiaoling was a grateful person and was willing to give Zhou Jiaoling and Zhu Qingyao a way out.
One hundred taels of silver is not a lot for Lin Luoling, but for an ordinary family, this one hundred taels may not be earned in a lifetime.
There is a huge gap between the rich and the poor in Xiangyang Prefecture. It is very close to the four prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River, has pleasant scenery, and very good customs and habits. That is why Lin Luoling persuaded Zhou Jiaoling to go to Xiangyang Prefecture.
Unexpectedly, after hearing what Lin Luoling said, Zhou Jiaoling did not ask why she was asked to go to Xiangyang or when she would go, but instead asked, "If I take Qingyao away suddenly, what will the master do?"
Lin Luoling was silent for a moment, then asked, "Are you sincere to Zhu Jingzhong?"
She really couldn't imagine that Zhu Jingzhong was short and stocky, and had an ugly face, with shaggy eyebrows, green bean eyes, and a bulbous nose...
Zhou Jiaoling used to be the most beautiful courtesan in a brothel, and she had probably seen many handsome and talented men. If she said that she was grateful to Zhu Jingzhong, Lin Luoling believed it, but she felt that it was impossible for them to truly love each other.
Just as Lin Luoling thought, Zhou Jiaoling really didn't like Zhu Jingzhong.
She spoke the truthfully: "If it weren't for the master, I wouldn't have been able to get out of that dirty place. He sold his shop and land, and has taken care of Qingyao and me like treasures over the years. Not to mention beating me or scolding me, he never even said a harsh word to me.
The master has already persuaded the Yongning Marquis last night to marry me as his successor and first wife on a chosen day."
Zhou Jiaoling smiled bitterly and said, “Miss Lin, you don’t know that people like me are not born lowly. My biggest wish is to be someone’s legal wife so that I can wash away all the dirt on my body and Qingyao can become a legitimate daughter.
The distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children may not make much difference in Miss Lin's eyes, but in reality, they are different. Even if Qingyao cannot marry in the future, I hope she can become a legitimate daughter."
After a pause, Zhou Jiaoling looked at Lin Luoling sincerely and pleaded, "Although the master has a bad temper, he has never done anything to let you down. He has been hurt by Lan Wanshuang all his life. Can Miss Lin please show some mercy and let him go?"
Lin Luoling shook his head and said truthfully: "He is the brother of Yongning Hou. If Yongning Hou commits a crime, how can he not be affected?"
Lin Luoling could let Zhu Jingzhong go, even though Zhu Jingzhong had never harmed her in this life, but she had cleaned up the mess for Zhu Jingzhong in her previous life.
Furthermore, if the Yongning Marquis and his wife and Zhu Xianzhi were executed, although Zhu Jingzhong was a bit reckless, he was not a brainless person. After thinking carefully for some time, he would guess that the Yongning Marquis and his wife and Zhu Xianzhi were convicted, which was a trap set long ago.
Why leave yourself a hidden danger?
Therefore, Lin Luoling would not let go of anyone except Zhou Jiaoling and Zhu Qingyao.
Zhou Jiaoling sat on the stone bench and thought for a long time.
If she took Zhu Qingyao to Xiangyang Prefecture, and Zhu Qingyao did not have Chen Yin to treat her, her condition would probably worsen. Seeing her own daughter like that every day would be more painful than having flesh cut off from her heart.
What's more, when the night was quiet, she would think back to how good Zhu Jingzhong had been to her over the years, and couldn't help feeling guilty.
But if she chose to stay with Zhu Jingzhong, even if she became Zhu Jingzhong's legal wife and Zhu Qingyao became his legitimate daughter, they would both be implicated by Marquis Yongning and sentenced to death.
After nearly half an hour, Zhou Jiaoling finally stood up and knelt in front of Lin Luoling. She lowered her eyelids and asked with tears in her eyes: "If I entrust Qingyao to Miss Lin, will Miss Lin be willing to take her in?"
Lin Luoling guessed what Zhou Jiaoling was thinking and nodded, "Yes!"
Zhou Jiaoling rested her forehead on the ground and choked up, "I don't trust anyone except Miss Lin. Today I will leave Qingyao in Jingfu Temple. If Miss Lin cannot treat her as a sister in the future, she can just stay by her side as a maid.
I only ask Miss Lin to let Chen Yin treat her well. I, as her mother, really owe her too much and have no way to give her health and happiness. I also ask Miss Lin to take care of her a little more in the future so that I can rest in peace."
After hearing Lin Luoling's helpless response, Zhou Jiaoling raised her head and asked Lin Luoling for two packets of colorless and odorless poison.
