After rebirth, the Prime Minister's wife married the living devil

Master Yin kept wiping the sweat off his forehead with his handkerchief. "Mother-in-law, it was all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding. My wife was confused for a moment and did such a wrong thing. She already knows she was wrong. I hope you adults will forgive her mistakes and show mercy."

"A moment of confusion can ruin the innocence of an innocent girl? Where does this make sense?" Mother Lin was really angry and said angrily: "I came here today for another matter. Our Lin family is too small to marry into your Yin family. Yanxia will no longer have any relationship with your Yin family."

"Mother-in-law, it's not necessary. Please don't let this matter damage the harmony between the two families."

The marriage of Yin Siyuan and Lin Yanxia was arranged by Master Yin. Because Master Yin was not well-educated, he particularly liked scholars. Mr. Lin had a good reputation in Yunlong Town. In fact, he initially had his eyes on the eldest daughter of the Lin family, who was quite famous for her talent in the town. However, the eldest daughter of the Lin family had a childhood sweetheart who was about to be married. Later, he thought that having a scholar father-in-law, sister-in-law and brother-in-law would also be good, so he asked a matchmaker to go to the Lin family to propose to her.

Seeing Lin's mother's cold face, he knew that there was no room for maneuver in the marriage, and he couldn't help but groan inwardly.

"My wife has truly realized her mistake, and she feels guilty afterwards. Please give her a chance and show some mercy."

Madam Yin was very annoyed to see Master Yin's servile behavior, so she became angry and said, "Why are you apologizing to them? If Yanxia hadn't mentioned to Jiaqi that Liu Erya was raped by Wang San and her engagement was broken off, this would never have happened. I only had her tied up and locked up in Chunfeng Garden for a few days, and I didn't really want to destroy her innocence. I even specially arranged for the mother of Chunfeng Garden to keep an eye on her and not allow anyone to enter or leave her room, and to treat her well."

Li Yanqi's focused gaze shifted away from Lin Yanyu's elegant face and instead fell sharply on Madam Yin.

"You have bad intentions, and you want to blame Yanxia?!"

Mother Lin was so angry at Mrs. Yin's confusing right and wrong that she almost fainted.

"If it's not her, how can I ..."

"Mom, stop talking! If it's wrong, it's wrong. I know you're doing this for me, but even if this really happens, how can your daughter be at peace?"

After saying that, Yin Jiaqi coughed continuously, as if she was having difficulty breathing. Her pale little face turned the color of liver, and Mrs. Yin was so scared that she kept patting her daughter's back. Mr. Yin also quickly handed her tea.

"You all saw that my daughter was born prematurely and has had urinary insufficiency since childhood, so her mother inevitably worries more about her. As parents, I think you should be able to understand this feeling the best." As he spoke, Master Yin wiped the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief.

Mr. Lin and his mother couldn't help but be moved.

Master Yin took a sandalwood box from the housekeeper, held it in front of Lin Yanyu with both hands, and said, "I know that I can never make it up to Miss Lin, but I still ask Miss Lin to accept this small gift and forget the grudge with a smile. Otherwise, I will not be able to see anyone again."

Mother Lin shook her head slightly at Lin Yanyu, meaning for her to reject such a muddled reconciliation, but Lin Yanyu stood up and took the wooden box.

"I can understand your parents' feelings, but this is not a reason to do evil. Your daughter has parents, and I have parents too. If Lieutenant Li had not rescued me in Chunfeng Garden, I would have been in such a mess. I dare not imagine what would have happened to me. And you cannot imagine how sad my parents would have been."

"My willingness to reconcile at this time does not mean that I have forgiven Madam Yin."

Seeing Madam Yin's arrogant expression from beginning to end, Lin Yanyu shook her head and smiled, saying, "We may not be lucky enough to enjoy your Yin Mansion's banquet. Goodbye."

From the moment Lin Yanyu entered the room, Mr. Yin and Madam Yin never even looked at her. They just wanted them to stop pursuing the matter.

Lin's mother couldn't stand it any longer. When she saw her daughter said she wanted to leave, she stood up and pulled Lin Xiucai, "Old man, let's go."

Li Yanqi stood up as well, and before leaving, he glanced at Madam Yin with sharp eyes, "Madam, did you really just order someone to lock up Miss Lin for three days? Nothing else?"

"For a small family like the Lin family that can be solved by paying money, I did it if I did it, and I didn't do it if I didn't do it. Why would I lie?"

On the return carriage.

"Are you really going to just let it go with them?"

Mrs. Yin's arrogant expression just now made Lin's mother more and more angry, and she couldn't help but get angry with her daughter.

"Zhizhi, why did you accept the Yin family's apology? Didn't you see how the Yin family looked down on others?"

Of course Lin Yanyu couldn't tell her parents because she knew that the Yin family would soon be in trouble and there was no need for them to do anything.

All he could say was, "The Yin family is powerful. Even if we don't agree to reconcile, we won't necessarily get anything good from fighting them to the end. The Yin family has plenty of money to bribe officials, spread rumors, and confuse right and wrong. Yunlong County is so small, it's better to stop while we're ahead and leave some space for each other so that we can meet again in the future."

"Zhizhi, it's your father's fault that you've been wronged." The more sensible his eldest daughter was, the more distressed Mr. Lin felt. He wiped his eyes with his sleeves and said, "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, County Magistrate Li."

Mother Lin stopped blaming her daughter and just hugged her daughter silently with tears in her eyes.

"Okay, Mom and Dad, don't be sad. Isn't your daughter fine now?"

As he said this, he deliberately raised the wooden box and changed the subject, "Tell me the truth, Dad and Mom, aren't you curious about what's in this box?"

"I'm not curious about the Yin family's things. Take them away." Mother Lin waved her hands in disgust as if she was shooing away a fly, but her eyes were fixed on the exquisite sandalwood box.

Lin Yanyu couldn't help but laugh, and under the gaze of the three people in the car, she slowly opened the sandalwood box.

"A thousand taels of silver notes!?" Lin Xiucai stretched his head and stood up, exclaiming, "How many?"

Lin Yanyu fiddled with her fingers a few times and replied, "Three pieces, three thousand taels, Dad."

Mr. Lin was so frightened that he fell to the ground.

"What? How much? Three thousand taels!?" Lin's mother was also frightened and looked at her daughter in disbelief.

"Yes, mother."

Mother Lin's body swayed, and before she could steady herself, she quickly took the wooden box that Lin Yanyu had casually placed in her hand, closed the box and stuffed it into her lapel. Her eyes were as big as copper bells, and she looked at Li Yanqi opposite her like a robber.

A series of actions that takes no more than a few seconds.

Li Yanqi twitched his lips, thinking, who the hell cares about your three thousand taels? What I care about is your daughter.

But he said, "Fatty Yin's move to calm down the trouble caused by his wife was quite generous."

He raised his eyes to look at Lin Yanyu, "But if you want to continue investigating, I can also help you submit a confession."

Lin Yanyu shook her head firmly and slowly, her lips curled slightly, and said sincerely: "I really don't want to pursue the Yin family anymore, three thousand taels is good enough."

This time, Mr. Lin and his mother did not express any opinions. Their entire attention was focused on the sandalwood box containing three thousand taels of silver.

At the Lin family’s gate.

"Mr. Lin and Mrs. Lin will go ahead. I will stay here to ask Miss Lin a few questions about the case."

Li Yanqi's handsome face drooped slightly, his right hand was clenched into a fist, and his left hand was wrapped around it. His neck and back were straight as a pine tree. His bowing posture was standard and beautiful, but it was a pity that no one appreciated it.

Mr. Lin and his mother walked past him in a daze, immersed in their own world.

"Three thousand taels! Three thousand taels, old man!"

"Yes, Mei'er, three thousand taels."

"Old man, I've never seen so much money in my life! I'm worried about leaving it in the cabinet. Let's find a place to hide it."

"Okay, Mei, why don't we just hide under the bed?"

"No, what if a rat chews it?"

"On the beams?"

"No way! What if it gets eaten by insects?"

"..."

Li Yanqi watched Lin Xiucai and Lin's mother walk away in silence, and sighed: "Now I finally know who you take after, this money-grubber."

He turned his head and looked at Lin Yanyu, "There is no one else around now. Let me ask you again, are you really not going to pursue this matter?"

Lin Yanyu also found it funny to see her parents like that. She couldn't help but her eyes turned into crescents, revealing her little white teeth, and nodded at Li Yanqi.

"Ah."

"Okay, I understand. Take a look at this." Li Yanqi handed a scroll to Lin Yanyu with a complicated expression and said, "This is your family affair after all. You decide how to deal with it."

Lin Yanyu took the file, glanced at it quickly, and in an instant, the corners of her lips drooped.
