Chapter 133 Harmony
Lin looked coldly at the housekeeper Su Zhong who was already kneeling on the ground, knowing that this was a test of her by Su Chengye.
Although one thousand taels of silver is not much, as long as she compromises this time, countless things will happen in the future.
Su Chengye is trying to use his daughter and son-in-law to manipulate her.
In the main hall, the movement outside also attracted the attention of everyone in the room.
A few people were still chatting about home affairs, but they were all focused on listening to what was going on outside.
Su Chengye was waiting for Mrs. Lin to compromise. As long as Mr. Lin could pay for her daughter's honor today, he would have a way to get her to pay for the extra dowry money tomorrow.
Su Qingyu had a smile on her face, but her eyes were actually cold. She is also waiting, waiting for the critical moment to stand up for her mother.
Su Zhong glanced at the room and whispered: "Madam, my uncle will still be there when the eldest lady comes back. Madam, please don't embarrass the younger one, he is also following orders."
In Su Zhong's view, Lin took out a thousand taels of silver and the matter was over. Why not find happiness on a day like this?
Mrs. Lin stood there motionless and did not let Su Zhong get up. Today she must either endure it or make things worse.
She has endured it for twenty years and doesn't want to endure it anymore.
If that's the case, then simply tear off this fig leaf.
Mrs. Lin's expression gradually became firmer and she said coldly: "For things like concubinage, the mother of the house has to pay dowry money to take care of it. Is this the rule of the Marquis's mansion or the rule of the capital?"
He scolded me loudly again, "Get up, what do you look like kneeling here like this? I don't know, I thought the Marquis was using a trick to force me to take the money."
Everyone in the room was startled by Lin's voice. Before they could react, Lin had already turned and walked into the main hall.
"Master Hou, I can't pay for this money, and there's no reason why I should pay for it."
"The Marquis and I have always had a lot of conflicts over money. I have been thinking about it for many days. Let's just get divorced."
Lin had decided on something and didn't want to drag things out anymore. She originally wanted to wait until her daughter returned home safely, but Su Chengye's behavior today made her not want to endure it for another day.
As soon as Heli's words came out, Su Chengye froze on the spot.
He never dreamed that Mrs. Lin would reconcile with him.
Su Qingyu and Shen Zhixiu looked at each other. They were relatively calm because they had prepared before.
Haishi stood up and walked to Mrs. Lin, "Sister-in-law, how can you talk about reconciliation properly? If you have something to say, talk about it properly and you won't be reconciled. The child is still with you."
Haishi also heard about what happened in the past two days, but in her opinion, Lin didn't want to give money, so she just didn't give it. It will never come to the point of reconciliation.
Lin had no objection to Hai's sister-in-law, and spoke softly, "Sister-in-law, there is no need to persuade me. I have already made up my mind."
After saying that, he pulled Heide aside and sat down.
Su Chengye also came to his senses at this time, stood up and pointed at Mrs. Lin and said, "What did you say? Do you dare to mention peace and separation on this happy day?"
"You're not afraid of your daughter and son-in-law making fun of you. Are you such a mother-in-law?"
Su Chengye pretended to be calm at this time, but he was actually very panicked in his heart.
He never thought about reconciling with Lin, let alone that Lin would cause trouble in such a way.
When Su Qingyu saw Su Chengye speaking in her name, she stood up and walked to Mrs. Lin. At this time, she must advance and retreat with her mother.
When Mrs. Lin saw her coming, she quickly whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Don't talk, I have my own arrangements for this matter. You two, just stay out of it."
On such an occasion, Ms. Lin didn't want her daughter and son-in-law to get involved. With father and grandmother on one side and mother on the other, the daughter is prone to criticism no matter what she says.
Coupled with Shen Zhixiu's status, countless pairs of eyes in Beijing were staring at him.
Su Qingyu frowned slightly, "Mom, you..."
Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by Mrs. Lin, "Listen to mother, mother will handle this matter."
Seeing Lin's firm attitude, Su Qingyu stepped aside and stood next to Shen Zhixiu.
Su Chengye was still asking in a deep voice: "Lin Wanyin, are you crazy?"
"How can the Su family be sorry for you? You just want to live a good life. What are you doing?"
Lin Wanyin stepped forward step by step and stood at an arm's length away from Su Chengye.
He sneered and stared at Su Chengye.
"I'm crazy. I was driven crazy by your Su family."
"Back then, you made every effort to ask to marry me, but I didn't know until you entered the house that you asked to marry me just to plug a hole in Su Chengyan's life."
"That's all. Our Lin family recognizes the hundreds of thousands of taels of silver and just feeds them to the dogs."
"But how have you treated me all these years? And how have you treated my daughter?"
"I work hard to take care of my family's property, and all the money I earn is spent at home. But you are raising my wife's son behind my back, and you want me to raise my wife's son."
"My pampered daughter has been plotted against you again and again."
"You are such an extremely selfish person who only has yourself in your heart. Are you still surprised that I want to make peace with you?"
Lin Wanyin said these few words, and she was already restraining herself. If she really wanted to talk about how the Su family had wronged her, she could talk about it all day long without repeating herself.
But she didn't have time to talk to them about these meaningless words now. She just wanted to cut the knot quickly and free herself from this deep house.
Su Chengye wanted to argue a few words, but he couldn't because everything Lin Wanyin said was true.
It's just that he doesn't think he has done anything wrong. Isn't it normal for a man to have an extramarital affair?
Among his colleagues, seven out of ten have outside wives. People are living a good life, but who is like Lin Wanyin?
As for money, he could condescend to marry the daughter of a merchant family. What happened to their family’s little money?
"Don't say so much useless things. Believe it or not, I will have someone lock you up. If you want a divorce, maybe in your next life."
Su Chengye said without hesitation.
Su Qingyu couldn't bear it anymore, she stood up and spoke.
But before the words came out, messy footsteps were heard outside.
Lin Wanli, the eldest master of the Lin family, and Lin Wuchen, the third young master, walked in.
Su Shunci, who was following behind them, walked to Su Qingyu calmly, "Sister, I met my third cousin in the shop and told him."
Su Qingyu whispered to Su Shunci: "Don't tell others that you said it."
Su Shunci nodded and stood behind Su Qingyu. She was petite and no one noticed her.
When Lin Wanyin saw her eldest brother and her nephew coming, her expression became calmer.
Su Qingyu and Shen Zhixiu stepped forward to greet their uncle and cousin.
Lin Wanli ignored Lin Wanyin and Su Chengye's affairs, but called Su Qingyu and Shen Zhixiu aside.
He said earnestly: "My mother-in-law, I will leave it to you. I will handle this matter in a while. You two, it is best to stay out of it."
Like Lin Wanyin, Lin Wanli also felt that Su Qingyu and Shen Zhixiu were not suitable to get involved in this matter.
