The evil mother-in-law does not whitewash, she only abuses her children

Chapter 790: The Escape of Lin Jiajin

Gu Dashu used the excuse of heavy snow at night to temporarily place Miss Lin in the house at the backyard of the shop.

The house is clean and warm.

Gu Dashu also asked the waiter to bring a clean quilt.

Miss Lin thanked him with her mouth, but she felt disdainful in her heart.

This room is not as good as the room of the maidservant beside her.

When she thought about marrying a minor official in the Hanlin Academy and being sent to the border, where she might not even have a house like this, she felt so upset that she wanted to kill her mother and sister.

In the past, when it snowed in Shengjing, for a young lady from a wealthy family like her, it was just an embellishment that added interest to life.

I wish the snow would be as heavy as possible.

Anyway, there are hand warmers and warm sedan chairs when you go out, and warm charcoal fires indoors. It is so pleasant to sit by the window, enjoy the snow, recite poems, and compose essays.

However, it was the experience of escaping in the heavy snow that made her realize for the first time that heavy snow could be a disaster for her future life.

It’s so cold!

This was the first time in her life that she experienced the cold brought by the falling snow in winter, so cold that her limbs seemed to be broken.

After going to the border, she would feel this coldness every year.

Why?

She doesn't accept it.

Since her stepmother arranged such a marriage for her, don't blame her for not recognizing her relatives.

When she becomes the favorite concubine of Prince Ning and then becomes the Queen step by step, she will make her stepmother and sister be buried with her for her current embarrassment.

No, death would be too easy for them.

She wanted to make them kneel at her feet in thin clothes in the snow and confess and beg for mercy.

......

"Does the Lin family really treat her as harshly as she said?"

Gu Dashu did not completely believe Miss Lin.

After settling Miss Lin, Gu Dashu couldn't help but discuss it with his waiter.

No matter how much Miss Lin begged, he would never send her to Prince Ning's Mansion.

What kind of place is Prince Ning's Mansion? Can ordinary people just go there whenever they want?

Besides, the Lin family is not an ordinary family. They are a noble family and a marquisate. What if he sends the person away and the Lin family comes to him to ask for the person?

He was not stupid enough to impulsively do what Miss Lin asked just because he saw how pitiful she was.

Even if what happened to Miss Lin was true, he would definitely save her.

It will be solved in a foolproof and safe way. It would be best to exonerate himself and Tong Huaqiong and others rather than rushing forward rashly to uphold justice.

The waiter said, "It's hard to tell what's going on in a wealthy family. Which wealthy family in Shengjing doesn't have secrets in their inner house? How can those mistresses subdue the concubines and illegitimate children in the mansion if they don't have some tricks? Some mistresses are very jealous and beat concubines and oppress illegitimate daughters. Such things are reported every year."

The waiter was from Shengjing. His parents used to be maids in wealthy families. He had heard many rumors about the conflicts among wives and concubines in the inner chambers of wealthy families.

"Miss Lin is indeed pitiful. If she hadn't been forced so hard by her stepmother, how could a rich lady have escaped from the mansion in the heavy snow?"

Because Miss Lin looked so pitiful, the waiter believed what she said about her experience.

Unless she is really desperate, there is no reason for a rich lady to run out.

Gu Dashu frowned and said, "Miss Lin's mother has been to our house. I met her once. She doesn't seem like someone who would mistreat a concubine's daughter."

The waiter said, "That's not necessarily true. You can't judge a person by his appearance. Some people are treacherous and treat concubines' sons and daughters well outside, but we don't know how they are treated at home. If the stepmother was good to Miss Lin, how could she arrange such a bad marriage for her?"

Gu Dashu was confused.

So that's the crux of the matter.

If it was the Gu Dashu of the past, he would have believed without a second thought that what happened to Miss Lin was true.

Gu Dashu has experienced training on the border and seen the world in Shengjing. He is no longer the Gu Dashu of Qinghe Bay. When looking at a problem, he will not get entangled in a small matter.

He thought that if he were Mrs. Lin, no matter how much he hated his concubine's daughter, he would not make a fuss about her marriage.

Because it is not necessary.

A concubine's daughter is not like a concubine's son, who has to share the family property.

The noble families believe that everyone prospers together and suffers together.

Wouldn't it be more beneficial to my family and my son to find a good marriage for my concubine's daughter to help with the marriage?

If Mrs. Lin was really jealous of Miss Lin's mother, there would be no need for her to keep Miss Lin by her side and pamper her.

Gu Dashu thought about it and decided to go home the next day to discuss it with Tong Huaqiong.

"Miss Lin is hiding in our shop. Don't let anyone else know. If the news gets out, even I can't protect you."

"Also, no matter what Miss Lin asks you to do, don't do it. Just listen to me."

The truth of the matter is still unclear, and Gu Dashu is afraid that the guys who sympathize with Miss Lin may be taken advantage of if they are not careful.

The guy said, "Don't worry, I'll just listen to you."

Although he sympathized with Miss Lin, he did not dare to help Miss Lin pass on the message.

The main reason was that he was afraid that Gu Dashu would get angry and fire him.

Although Gu Dashu always smiles at his servants, he is actually very cruel and ruthless, and even the King of Mobei was played around by him.

Besides, if he left the Gu family’s shop, where would he find such a job with a good monthly salary?

A dreamless night.

When he woke up early the next morning, Gu Dashu looked through the window and saw that the snow had stopped.

Gu Dashu ordered his waiter to go to a nearby mutton soup restaurant to buy some hot mutton soup for Miss Lin.

Miss Lin frowned when she saw the hot mutton soup. How could she eat greasy food so early in the morning?

"Brother Gu, the snow outside has stopped, so it's not a good idea for me to live in your shop. If the Lin family finds out, I'm afraid it will affect you. The Lin family is a family that even Prince Ning is afraid of. Why don't you send me to Prince Ning's mansion?"

Miss Lin only regretted that she did not bring any silver or jewelry with her, otherwise she could have bribed the servants around Gu Dashu.

She saw sympathy for him in the fellow's eyes, and she was sure she could take advantage of it.

Gu Dashu gulped down the mutton soup with a sesame cake and said, "There's no rush for this matter. Eat first. We can talk about it after you're full. Or I can go to King Ning to pass on a message. You can just wait in the shop."

Miss Lin clenched her teeth.

I thought this country bumpkin from Ningcheng would be easy to fool, but I didn't expect Gu Dashu to be so slippery and ruthless.

She was already so pitiful, but he didn't have the slightest intention of cherishing her.

Miss Lin was unwilling to accept this.

The longer she stayed here, the greater the risk of being caught by the Lin family.

Now the Ning Palace is the only safest place for her.

"Brother Gu, I know this matter is very difficult for you. If I were you, I would also think twice. After all, the Lin family is powerful. If the Lin family knew that it was you who sent me to Prince Ning's Mansion, they would vent their anger on you. But don't worry, when I arrive at Prince Ning's Mansion, I will ask the princess and Prince Ning to protect you." Miss Lin's eyes were red, and she looked pitiful.

Gu Dashu looked at Miss Lin. He really didn’t know whether Miss Lin was naive or stupid.

Prince Ning is a poisonous snake. Could he offend the Lin family for a merchant like Gu Dashu?

Even if Gu Dashu doesn't understand the twists and turns of the court, he still has some brains.

"You've been hungry for a day and a night, eat first." Gu Dashu advised calmly.

Miss Lin lowered her head and held the bowl of mutton soup, feeling nauseous.
