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

On New Year's Eve, red candles were shining brightly. The Lin residence was cleaned from top to bottom and looked festive. The joy seemed to be contagious, and even the silly servants in the Bixiao Courtyard had happy faces.

"Miss, recently Madam Zhou and Fuling have been taking turns to come to our room, but I stopped them all. I don't know what they want to do."

Shi Lan reported the recent situation in the courtyard with some concern. After all, Lin Yushu had entrusted all the major and minor matters in Bixiao Courtyard to Shi Lan for management. Shi Lan was very worried, fearing that she would bring trouble to Lin Yushu if she failed to manage it well, so she was very attentive on weekdays.

"Not only that, Fuling has repeatedly asked to help go to the kitchen to get some food, but I refused every time. After all, the young lady has instructed that food can only be served by our own people."

Lin Yushu put down the poison scripture in her hand and looked at the servants outside the window thoughtfully.

It seems that Madam Zhou and Fuling are not willing to be lonely and want to cause trouble in Bixiao Courtyard. I just don’t know if this is the intention of the old lady and the second lady, or if they just…

It's really troublesome to have these two thorns right under your nose. In that case, don't blame her for being cruel.

"Ask Fuling to get some Tusu wine."

Hearing Lin Yushu's words, Shi Lan was slightly stunned, but immediately understood Lin Yushu's intention, turned around and walked out of the house to find Fuling.

Every New Year, the Lin family would prepare Tu Su wine to ward off evil spirits and avoid epidemics.

On New Year's Eve, each courtyard would go to the main kitchen in the mansion to receive food. Since Nanny Zhou and Fuling wanted to make trouble, it would be better to give them the opportunity to tamper with the food. In this way, they would know what it means to show off one's skills in front of an expert.

As it got darker, Lin Yushu came to the East Courtyard to have the New Year's Eve dinner. The Second Lady took Lin Qingrou and said auspicious words in front of the old lady. The old lady sealed a bag of gold and handed it to Lin Qingrou with a smile.

Lin Qingrou showed a surprised smile, which was seen by Liu Mei who was standing behind the old lady. Liu Mei rolled her eyes without any concealment, and Lin Qingrou's smile froze immediately.

The room was bustling with activity and there was more fun than one could take in with one's eyes.

Seeing that the younger generations in front of the old lady had finished their New Year greetings, Lin Yushu slowly bowed down, "Shu'er wishes grandma a long and healthy life, as long as gold and stone, and a long and happy life."

"Good, Shu is becoming more and more sensible."

The old lady smiled brightly, but the smile did not reach her eyes. She stuffed an especially thick bag of gold into Lin Yushu's hand.

Lin Yushu cooperated and smiled. The old lady was very satisfied when she saw her smile.

While everyone was surrounding the old lady, Lin Yushu quietly stepped aside, looked around, and found her second uncle sitting nearby. He seemed to be talking to Lin Jiang.

In the few months since she entered the mansion, Lin Yushu had only seen this cousin from a distance a few times.

Lin Jiang is a deputy minister of the Ministry of Revenue. He is a taciturn person, but Lin Yushu knows that he is not dull. On the contrary, Lin Jiang and Nan Huaishuo are the same type of people. They look harmless on the outside, but they are actually vicious and cruel.

Ye Wanling, who was so lively and vivid, suddenly died just a few years after marrying Lin Jiang in her previous life. It was impossible for her to die from illness. It seemed that Ye Wanling, like her, was an abandoned pawn.

Lin Yushu walked towards Lin Minglang and Lin Jiang. When they saw her, they immediately stopped talking.

After Lin Yushu wished Lin Minglang a happy new year, she said hello to Lin Jiang.

Lin Jiang's reaction was very stiff. He nodded and left. Lin Yushu knew that hidden behind his dull appearance was actually Lin Jiang's disdain for her.

"Jiang'er has a dull personality, don't mind it. Are you getting used to the life back home?"

Lin Minglang has always been gentle and polite. He spoke warm words to Lin Yushu, and his face showed the concern of an elder for a younger person without any flaws.

I think Lin Jiang is so scheming, most likely because of Lin Minglang.

But on the night of the family dinner, Lin Yushu had a bold guess in her mind as to what was going on when Lin Minglang looked at her in a daze.

The Second Madam and the Old Madam hadn't seen her for many years, and when they saw her again, their first reaction was disgust.

Lin Yushu hadn't been around them for many years, and there was only one reason why she hated a junior whom she had hardly met: they saw others through themselves.

Lin Yushu looks very much like her mother, so their first reaction when they see her is not to her, but to her mother.

In this case, could it be that Lin Minglang loved his mother back then? He is indeed a hypocritical hypocrite.

Lin Yushu decided to test Lin Minglang. "Thank you for your concern, Second Uncle. I have adapted well to the mansion. The old lady and the second lady care about me very much. It's just that..."

"Just what? It's okay, just tell me. If there is anything wrong, Second Uncle will definitely help you."

Lin Minglang spoke considerately, but he couldn't hide the calculation in his eyes.

"It's nothing. I've been weak for many years and have lived in a remote courtyard. I'm lucky to be alive. I dare not ask for anything else. However, Shu'er is a member of the Lin family after all. If anything goes wrong outside, it will also bring shame to the Lin family..."

"And now, Shu'er can't even read a few characters, let alone poetry, songs, calligraphy, or painting. The old lady treats me very well and says she wants to find a rich family for me, but... I am so untalented and immoral, how can I marry into that rich family? It's just wishful thinking..."

As she spoke, Lin Yushu's eyes turned slightly red. She took out a handkerchief and wiped her eyes gently, looking as if she was filled with sorrow.

Lin Minglang obviously didn't expect Lin Yushu to say such a thing. He couldn't help but frowned slightly, and the light in his eyes became brighter.

"Shu'er is right. Lingjiu Hall will start its study next year. You can go with Rou'er and the others then."

Lin Yushu was overjoyed. She didn't expect Lin Minglang to agree! Lin Yushu was overjoyed and kept thanking Lin Minglang. Lin Yushu's straightforward joy really made Lin Minglang unable to bear it. He left in a hurry.

Women's schools were established by the founding emperor of the Zhou Dynasty and have continued to this day. They do not teach women training and admonitions, but instead teach needlework, riding and archery, the Four Books and Five Classics, and the arts of calligraphy, chess, and painting.

All the teachers in Lingjiu Hall are of extraordinary character and respected by others, so the daughters of officials are proud to be able to study in Lingjiu Hall. Some aristocratic families even require that when selecting daughters-in-law, they must have studied in Lingjiu Hall.

Therefore, any young lady from an official family who can make a name for herself in Lingjiu Hall will be sought after by various noble families and may even have the opportunity to marry into the royal family.

Lin Qingrou and Liu Mei would never miss such a shortcut. They were also quite famous in Lingjiu Hall, especially Lin Qingrou's paintings and Liu Mei's dances.

But recently, Lin Fang, the third young lady of the Lin family, has become famous for her outstanding musical skills, and there is a tendency for her to change for the better than Lin Qingrou.

In her previous life, Lin Yushu had never entered Lingjiu Hall. In fact, the title of "Strong Beauty" was suitable for her. She could not read or write, was not proficient in needlework, and had only beauty. Now it seems that a man as arrogant as Nan Huaishuo must have been extremely reluctant to marry her.

However, not long after marrying Nan Huaishuo, she stayed alone for more than ten years. In order to kill the long nights and to keep Nan Huaishuo's heart, in addition to refining poison, Lin Yushu found a teacher to teach her the Four Books and Five Classics, music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and she even became an excellent needlework artist.

When she had been married to Nan Huaishuo for a year without any signs of pregnancy, Nan Huaishu invited the imperial physician to treat Lin Yushu. The physician diagnosed that Lin Yushu was too weak to get pregnant. Lin Yushu was heartbroken at the time. In order to let Nan Huaishu have children, she endured the heartache and sent him several concubines.

Who could have thought that on their wedding night, Nan Huaishuo had put a sterilizing drug in the love wine he personally served her! Nan Huaishuo had only treated her as a tool from the beginning to the end, and was even unwilling to let her have children, thinking that she was unworthy!

It was ridiculous to see Nan Huaishuo's hypocritical refusal at that time. He pretended to be affectionate, but had to favor his concubine for the sake of his offspring. When Lin Yushu thought of this, she almost vomited the food she had eaten the night before.
