Tragic death and rebirth, the daughter of a general poisoned the government and the country

"That's right. After all, she is your grandmother. How can she be so presumptuous?"

"Even if the family is divided, the bloodline cannot be divided. Princess Shuyi cannot be so unfilial."

Several old ladies couldn't stand it anymore and spoke up for the old lady.

Lin Yushu glanced at them coldly and sneered.

"Grandmother? You all must know that not long ago this 'grandmother' personally drove our family out of the house and even removed our names from the family tree."

"If I hadn't insisted on dividing the family tree, I'm afraid you would have been a person without ancestors long ago. In fact, it's not bad to have no ancestors. I see that you all want to be someone else's ancestor. Are you in poor health or are you unfilial? Why are you so anxious to be buried..."

"you!"

Several old ladies were so angry that their faces turned red and they trembled all over.

The other people looked at the old lady calmly. It turned out that the old lady wanted to expel Lin Mingyue's family?

How short-sighted!

Everyone knew that after the battle of Xiang Yuanshan, Lin Mingyue became a close minister to the emperor. Instead of flattering him, they even wanted to drive his family out of the palace.

So stupid!

Several old ladies were just gasping for breath from anger when a maid came in from outside to answer them.

"Madam, Madam Li has come from the farm to wish you a happy birthday."

The old lady came to her senses and stopped provoking Lin Yushu.

"Let her in."

After all, Nanny Li had served her for decades. Although she was sent to the farm because she made a mistake, the old lady was very kind to her and her food and clothing were much better than those of other servants on the farm.

But when she saw Nanny Li for the first time, the old lady couldn't help but be surprised.

In just one year, Nanny Li's originally gray hair turned half white. She, who had always been clean, tidy and decent, now wore tattered clothes and her hair looked like it had not been washed for many days, and was dirty and messy. There was no trace of the elegance of the former head nanny.

"This old servant pays respect to the old lady and wishes her a long and healthy life."

There was a hint of sob in Nanny Li's excited voice.

"Hurry up, what's wrong with you? Do the people in the village dare to bully you?"

After all, she had been with the old lady for many years. When the old lady saw the miserable condition of Nanny Li, she couldn't help but feel angry towards the people on the farm. They even dared to bully the people around her!

Li Ma shook her head and said, "Today is the old lady's birthday. I wonder if you can do me a favor and serve her again."

The old lady frowned. Even though she could stand up for Nanny Li, she didn't want to be served by a maid who had not been around for a long time.

People's hearts are fickle, and what's more, she has not forgotten why Nanny Li was driven away. Nanny Li and Lin Yushu are having an affair!

The old lady looked at Lin Yushu calmly, but saw that she ignored Nanny Li and just sipped the tea carefully.

"You've come all this way and you've worked hard. How can I let you serve me? Go and have a rest and come back to the manor tomorrow."

Nanny Li kowtowed continuously, and she looked as if the old lady was going to beat her with a stick.

"Please beg for mercy, old lady, please beg for mercy, old lady!"

The old lady's face gradually darkened. The more Nanny Li insisted, the more it showed that there was something wrong with her. Was Nanny Li really going to betray her?

Seeing that everyone around her was looking at her, the old lady's face trembled and she said uncomfortably.

"Then come on."

Nanny Li came to the old lady's side quietly as if she had been pardoned, and gently massaged her shoulders and back as she did before.

No one could see that Li Ma, with her head lowered, kept scanning the valuable objects in the room, the Sichuan brocade screen, the jade flower pot, the coral ornaments...

Silver, all silver!

At this moment, Lin Mingyue and Lin Ling, who had received the message from Lin Yushu, came into the house. Just before Lin Yushu returned to the main hall, she specially found a servant to call Lin Mingyue over as well.

After all, the stage has to be set up before the old lady can sing.

Sure enough, as soon as Lin Mingyue and his son appeared, the old lady's attention immediately shifted from Nanny Li to Lin Mingyue.

"Mingyue, you are finally back. Do you still remember me, your mother?"

The old lady's eyes instantly turned red and tears flowed down her cheeks, leaving everyone around her dumbfounded.

Lin Yushu laughed secretly in her heart. The old lady really had great acting skills. It was a pity that she was not an actress. Her expression changed faster than turning the pages of a book.

Hearing this, Lin Mingyue's face became visibly stiff.

The Great Zhou ruled the world with filial piety. Those who were unfilial had no place to stand, let alone in officialdom, even among ordinary people.

At this moment, the eyes of the people in the room included those who were watching the fun, those who were curious, and most of them were dissatisfied and contemptuous.

Lin Ling snorted in dissatisfaction, without even looking at the old lady, and turned around to sit next to Lin Yushu.

Lin Mingyue's face darkened. "You are joking, old lady. My mother has been dead for decades."

Just one sentence made the temperature in the room drop.

The old lady's heart skipped a beat. She never thought that Lin Mingyue, whom she had always manipulated at will, would dare to slap her in the face in public!

She was Lin Mingyue's father's second wife, which meant she was Lin Mingyue's stepmother. Plus, that letter of severance of relationship...

By saying this, wasn't Lin Mingyue admitting that the two families had completely broken off relations and there was no possibility of reconciliation?

The old lady was shocked and confused, but the sadness on her face grew more and more intense, and she cried.

"You blame me for not standing by your side when your life was at stake. I can understand that, but Shu'er and Ling'er are both descendants of the Lin family. No matter what mistakes they made, they should recognize their ancestors and return to their roots!"

Lin Ling's anger suddenly burst out.

What does "no matter what mistakes were made" mean?

This sentence clearly states that the division of the family property is a problem between the two siblings, and it also makes the old lady seem magnanimous and unwilling to make a fuss about it.

The biggest mistake he and Lin Yushu made was that they didn't separate from these beastly relatives early on!

After hearing this, a few old ladies who didn't know the truth and were scolded by Lin Yushu immediately interrupted rudely.

"General Lin is a great general with a great reputation after all. How could he favor his children so much and make it so embarrassing for them to separate from his mother and brother?"

"It's true that you can never judge a person by his appearance. I didn't expect that General Lin, who is so wise and brave outside, is actually an unfilial person!"

Lin Mingyue narrowed his eyes slightly, and swept his sharp gaze across the faces of several old ladies who were talking. His cold gaze, as if containing ice, immediately made the talkative old ladies shut their mouths and dared not speak anymore.

"Since the old lady has mentioned it, I'll ask you, old lady, what mistakes did Shu'er and Ling'er make that you want to expel them from the mansion and remove their names from the family tree?"

The old lady subconsciously wanted to refute.

"I don't!"

"Sister-in-law, you must have a conscience!"

At the door, the patriarch walked slowly into the house with a cane. He happened to hear the old woman's words outside the door. He was so angry that he didn't even wait for the old woman to report and walked in directly.

When the old lady saw this, her face turned pale instantly.

Her lie was exposed.
