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

Bang! The county magistrate slammed the gavel with force.

"Li Erma, what else do you have to say! If it is true as you said, Miss Lin fell into the water and was rescued by you, then how do you explain the marks on her neck?"

Li Erma was dumbfounded. A few days ago, he accepted money from Wang Po and wanted to ruin Lin Yushu's reputation, but he couldn't really deflower her.

That day, he saw that Lin Yushu was so beautiful that he couldn't help it and thought of strangling her to make her unconscious for fun.

There are ways to play without damaging your virginity, and he has always been an expert in this.

What Li Erma didn't expect was that a person suddenly appeared by the lake, which was always remote and sparsely populated.

The man's angry shout scared Li Erma so much that he pissed himself and pushed Lin Yushu into the lake, then Li Erma ran away.

During these three days, the Lin Mansion's villa was as peaceful as before. Li Erma thought that Lin Yushu must not have seen clearly who hurt her.

Li Erma became bolder again, and discussed with Wang Pozi, thinking of using Lin Yushu's fall into the water to ruin her reputation, which led to the farce of proposing marriage this morning.

Li Erma panicked and explained quickly.

"Sir, I am innocent. I really didn't strangle her! You can't conclude that I did it just based on her injuries. Maybe she asked someone to strangle her just to frame me!"

Lin Yushu pinched herself secretly, her eyes were red and tears were about to fall.

"Sir, I have been recuperating in Qingshan County for six years. I am weak and rarely go out. How can I find someone to strangle me? Besides, I have no contact with Li Erma. What reason do I have to frame him?"

Lin Yushu stretched out her white jade fingers and gently stroked the wound on her neck with a pretentious expression.

"If the scar is left, how will my daughter get married in the future?"

This pitiful look made people around her no longer have the heart to doubt her. Lin Yushu lowered her head to wipe away her tears, revealing a sarcastic smile under her sleeves.

She learned this trick from Lin Qingrou. In her previous life, she had been defeated countless times by Lin Qingrou, who was very good at pretending to be pitiful. This time it was her turn to put what she had learned into practice.

Chun Tao, who was supporting Lin Yushu, was already dumbfounded, wondering when did the young lady become so weak... It was so heartbreaking...

The county magistrate said to Li Erma: "Li Erma, tell me, Miss Lin has no grudge against you, why did she frame you?"

Li Erma recalled the discussion with Wang Po about ruining Lin Yushu's reputation. He made up his mind and took out the things he had prepared for proposing marriage from his arms. His pockmarked face twisted into a ball and he looked miserable.

"Because Miss Lin and I have had a secret affair for a long time. That day, she asked me to meet her by the lake, saying that she despised my background and wanted to dump me. We were arguing, and Miss Lin fell into the lake during the struggle. I saved her regardless of the past grudges, but I didn't expect to be bitten back today. She actually framed me for murder!"

"Your Excellency, this is evidence that we have an affair!"

After saying that, Li Erma took out an exquisite sachet from the innermost layer of his lapel, with the word "Shu" embroidered on it.

Among the crowd who had just been sympathizing with Lin Yushu, excited discussions were heard again.

"Oh, it really is a woman's sachet. It is so exquisite that it must not be something from an ordinary family."

"I never thought that the charming Miss Lin would have an affair with someone like Li Erma. She really can't stand the loneliness!"

The county magistrate looked at the sachet that Li Erma took out with an unpleasant expression on his face.

Ordinary people might not be able to tell it, but as an official, he recognized it at a glance that the sachet was actually made of Shu brocade!

Shu brocade is such a precious fabric, it is absolutely impossible for Li Erma to get a sachet made of Shu brocade by himself.

There is a word "Shu" on this sachet, so it can only belong to Lin Yushu.

Such an exquisite and precious sachet must be a woman’s favorite thing, and she would usually wear it close to her body. How could it have fallen into Li Erma’s hands?

Lin Yushu looked at the sachet calmly. She was not surprised at all. When Li Erma proposed marriage in his previous life, he took out this sachet, making everyone believe that he and Lin Yushu had an affair.

After Lin Yushu returned to the general's mansion, she guessed who stole the sachet.

The county magistrate was a little hesitant: "Even if this sachet belongs to Miss Lin, it doesn't necessarily mean that she gave it to you personally."

"I, your servant Zhaodi, can testify that this sachet is the token of love that Miss Lin gave to Li Erma!"

Zhaodi suddenly rushed into the court from the crowd, knelt on the ground with a look of relief.

"I am the daughter of the housekeeper of the Lin Mansion's other courtyard. I usually serve Miss Lin personally. Miss Lin ordered me to personally deliver this sachet to Li Erma!"

After saying that, Zhaodi looked at Lin Yushu with a gloating look. This Miss Lin was silly and stupid, with only a pretty face.

Zhaodi looked at Lin Yushu's pretty face and her heart ached so much that it felt like bleeding!

If she looked like this, how could she have always been a slave!

As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd was in an uproar, and suddenly, everyone looked at Lin Yushu as if she were a rag.

The county magistrate's temples began to throb. He had originally wanted to use this incident to do the general's mansion a favor.

But now there is even evidence, and Lin Yushu is afraid that she will not be able to turn things around.

This young lady is so shameless!

Just as the county magistrate was about to question Lin Yushu, Lin Yushu knelt down, her beautiful eyes filled with tears and she looked pitiful, vowing to follow the path of a white lotus to the end.

"I have been here for many years and have always treated the servants well. Zhaodi is the only daughter of Yang, the housekeeper, and is not an ordinary servant. I have never asked Zhaodi to serve me personally, so why would I ask her to deliver a token of love?"

After saying this, Lin Yushu raised her hand and wiped her tears with her coarse linen sleeve.

Some sharp-eyed people had already noticed the clues and spoke in a sarcastic tone.

"This Miss Lin said she was the daughter of the general's family, but she was wearing a coarse linen dress, while the housekeeper's daughter said she served Miss Lin, but she was wearing a fine brocade dress. I wonder who is the lady and who is the maid when these two stand together."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked at Zhaodi thoughtfully.

Zhaodi secretly cursed this man for being a gossip. She was wearing the dress she had snatched from Lin Yushu today. She had originally planned to watch the joke of Lin Yushu being proposed to by Li Erma in the mansion.

As a result, before Li Erma came to the mansion to propose marriage, he heard someone say that Lin Yushu had taken Li Erma to court.

Mother Wang Po was worried that the incident would get out of hand and ruin the master's orders, so she hurried over and brought Zhaodi with her.

Just now, Mrs. Wang saw through Li Erma's intention and asked Zhaodi to go to court to testify in order to prove that Lin Yushu and Li Erma were having an affair.

Without waiting for Zhaodi to open her mouth to fight back, Lin Yushu hurriedly explained.

"My daughter's food and clothing are all taken care of by Zhaodi and her mother, Mrs. Wang. Although my daughter's illness has not improved, at least she has no worries about food and clothing. This dress of Zhaodi was given to her by my daughter..."

Lin Yushu's voice became lower and lower as she spoke, as if she was afraid.

What is there to not understand? The county magistrate sneered and thought to himself, this young lady of the Lin family was actually bullied to this point by the daughter of a housekeeper. She wears coarse linen clothes and yet claims that she has no worries about food and clothing. She has not been cured of her illness in so many years, probably because the housekeeper's family did not take good care of her.

Lin Yushu raised her head, tears welling up in her eyes. "The sachet in Li Erma's hand was also given to Zhaodi by me not long ago."

Zhaodi was shocked when she heard this and roared at Lin Yushu viciously.

"What nonsense are you talking about! When I asked you for this sachet, you didn't give it to me... um..."

Before Zhaodi could finish her words, Wang Po rushed out from the crowd and covered her mouth tightly.
