When the female supporting role has a beauty system

Chapter 1441 Jin Yue 42
Lin Jinzhu turned to look at Tan You: "So there really are gods in this world."

Tan You remained expressionless. She glanced at Lin Jinzhu and said, "You're about to die."

Lin Jinzhu: "I know, it was my husband who forced me to drink the medicine bowl by bowl. I had foreseen this day when I was pregnant."

“I just didn’t expect him to be so ruthless, to do it on the day I gave birth, and to keep me alive all these years to torment me day by day.”

Tan You sat down on the edge of the bed, and suddenly became curious about Lin Jinzhu: "You know?"

Lin Jinzhu smiled bitterly: "I know, I've always known. It's just that by the time I found out, I was already too sick to get out of bed."

"Gods, I have only one wish now. It doesn't matter if I die, but my children are still young. If I'm gone, what will happen to them?"

“Pei Yun will definitely remarry. He has his later wife. Whether she will be good to my children or not, I won’t be able to see.”

Tan You paused for a moment: "What do you intend to do?"

Lin Jinzhu gripped the blanket tightly: "I want to cut off Pei Yun's lineage. I want Pei Yun to have only my two children for the rest of his life."

Tan You's eyes flickered slightly, thinking to herself that Lin Jinzhu and Lin Jinyue did have some similarities.

Tan You: "I can grant you this request. Have you thought it through? Not having children doesn't mean Pei Yun won't have women in the future."

Lin Jinzhu gritted her teeth: "Then let Pei Yun never be a man again."

Pei Yun killed her, and Lin Jinzhu wished she could drag him down to hell with her. But she had children. Pei Yun's death wasn't the end of the world, but what would happen to her two children?
Her family has fallen on hard times, and if Pei Yun dies, the two children will face even greater difficulties. It's better to let Pei Yun live; his possessions will still belong to the children in the future.

Tan You smiled, flicked her fingers, and a golden spiritual energy fell on Lin Jinzhu. At the same time, two porcelain bottles appeared beside her pillow.

"One bottle contains a 'childlessness-preventing' powder, and the other bottle contains a 'mother-child Gu' poison."

"I'll give you three days. I hope you get what you want."

As spiritual energy flowed into her body, Lin Jinzhu felt as if her chronic illness had vanished. She suddenly sat up, feeling an inexhaustible amount of strength. Throwing back the covers and getting out of bed, Lin Jinzhu pushed open the door and called to a rough-looking old woman in the corner.

"Old Woman Wang".

The maid looked around and, seeing Lin Jinzhu calling her, quickly put down her broom and came over.

Lin Jinzhu stood under the corridor, completely unaware of the cold wind.

She whispered, "Go and contact the people at the shop and the estate, and have them come to the main courtyard tomorrow."

"Send a letter to my family back home; my father and I have something to discuss..."

Granny Wang looked up at Lin Jinzhu, stammering without speaking. Lin Jinzhu sensed something was wrong and frowned at Granny Wang: "What is it?"

Granny Wang hesitated for a moment: "Master... Master passed away three days ago. He caught a cold and hadn't gotten better for more than ten days... When the family came to report the death, his son-in-law stopped them."

"After the son-in-law went to pay his respects at the funeral, he left the city early this morning to escort Lin Miao and the old lady back to Jiangnan."

Lin Jinzhu gripped the pillar under the eaves tightly, her nails digging into the wood. She gritted her teeth. How wonderful! Pei Yun had even kept the news of her father's death from her. He wanted her to die quietly in the inner quarters of the Pei family. He was truly ruthless!

He murdered himself, making himself an unfilial and disrespectful person, and yet he is still alive and well.

Lin Jinzhu was furious, but she was unusually calm at this moment. She took a deep breath: "Aunt Wang, I remember there is a mandarin duck teapot on my dowry list. Tonight, please warm a pot of good wine and prepare a feast."

"I have been sick for so long, and I am grateful for your care, my son-in-law. Tonight I will host a banquet to thank you."

"Go and ask Yuan-ge for leave in a little while. Tell him to come to the main courtyard to see me."

Granny Wang agreed to everything. Pei Yun felt that he had everything under control over Lin Jinzhu, but little did he know that Lin Jinzhu had a backup plan. It's just that Lin Jinzhu was too sick to get out of bed before, so even if she had people, she couldn't use them.

But now, Lin Jinzhu only had one thought: she wanted Pei Yun to suffer a fate worse than death.

Pei Yuan is ten years old this year, and he's practically a teenager now. No one hides anything from him at home. Just as he was about to go to school today, Granny Wang stopped him.

She whispered, "Madam requests that Yuan-ge'er go to the main courtyard. I have already sent someone to ask the teacher for leave."

Pei Yuan was overjoyed: "Is Mother feeling better? I'll be right there!"

Lin Jinzhu treated him very well. When she was healthy, she devoted herself to him and always wanted to give him the best of everything. But after Lin Jinzhu became bedridden, he saw her less and less.

Now that Lin Jinzhu has sent a message through someone, he can't wait a moment longer. As for asking for leave, compared to his mother, what's wrong with not going to school for a day?
Inside the main courtyard, Lin Jinzhu was sitting at a small round table looking at the dowry list.

She had no daughters, so all this dowry was to be passed down to her sons. She was quite good at managing money; the dowry given by Madam Qi was quite substantial, and later, to repay the Lin family for purchasing the Jade Complexion Cream, she gave them 100,000 taels of silver.

After several years of managing her finances, she had amassed a considerable fortune. Even though Pei Yun was a complete scoundrel, he never touched her dowry.

Lin Jinzhu is currently taking stock of everything. She doesn't have much time left, and she wants to explain everything to Pei Yuan in every aspect.

When Pei Yuan entered and saw Lin Jinzhu, his heart skipped a beat. His mother's face still looked sickly, but her eyes were bright, as if she was only hanging on by a thread.

A phrase came to Pei Yuan's mind—a final burst of energy before death.

He carefully sat down next to Lin Jinzhu, his worried gaze falling on her: "Mother..."

Sensing the anxiety and worry in her son's voice, Lin Jinzhu felt a pang of sorrow in her heart. She forced a smile: "Yuan-ge'er, I'm afraid I won't be able to watch you grow up."

Pei Yuan's heart was heavy. He grasped Lin Jinzhu's hand and said, "Mother, aren't you alright now?"

Lin Jinzhu sighed, "Let's not talk about this anymore. While I'm still full of energy, I'll hand over my business to you."

Granny Wang stood outside the courtyard, preventing anyone from approaching. As for the conversation inside, she wouldn't say anything even if she overheard it, after all, she would be Pei Yuan's confidante from now on.

Holding Lin Jinzhu's dowry list, Pei Yuan felt a chill run through him. How could a ten-year-old child possibly accept Lin Jinzhu's current state of making her final arrangements?
Lin Jinzhu couldn't care less about any of that. She held the two small porcelain bottles Tan You had given her and said, "I've ended up like this all because of your father. Your uncle passed away unexpectedly back then, and my family fell into decline. Your father tampered with my childbirth, causing me to have postpartum hemorrhage."

“He has kept me bedridden for so many years, and now he has concealed the news of your maternal grandfather’s passing. All of this has long proven that your father has harbored ulterior motives.”

Pei Yuan was in a state of turmoil, torn between his dying mother and his father, whom he could hardly be considered close to.
