Chapter 103 It’s your own fault
The Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery knelt on one knee and said, "Please, Your Majesty, Princess, please take charge of my son and punish Lin severely."

King Xuan personally helped the Loyal and Brave Marquis to his feet, "Master Meng, your wife and daughter have committed a grave offense. They deserve severe punishment to bring justice to the Loyal and Brave Marquis's and the Yang Mansion."

Master Meng looked at Lin, who was sitting on the ground, as if he were looking at mud. "Of course, the Meng family will not hesitate to do whatever punishment the prince and princess want to give Lin and her daughter."

Prince Xuan nodded to his wife, who stood up and walked over to Lin. "Ms. Meng Lin is narrow-minded, selfish, and vicious. You are immoral and unfit to be a wife. I, your wife, will punish you with twenty strokes of the cane and fifty strokes of the cane on your mouth. You will be confined to the Buddhist temple to chant scriptures. You will never leave the palace again."

"Lin, are you convinced?"

"Submit? I don't!" Lin stood up, her face grim. "Why? What crime have I committed? Why do you want me to die in the temple?!"

Princess Xuan looked at her calmly, "Manager Lin explained it clearly."

"Yes, I ordered Manager Lin to find the killer bees. I wanted Bai Rouyin to die in pain! But Bai Rouyin deserved all this!"

Zhao was shocked and angry. "You did such an unjust thing, and you still want to bite Rouyin. Lin, are you still human?"

"I'm not a human being, so what good do you think your daughter is?" Lin pointed at Yang Zhui and laughed crazily, "Do you think you've married a woman of noble birth, angelic beauty, gentleness, and kindness?"

"Hahaha, you're wrong, you're totally wrong!" Lin laughed breathlessly. "Bai Rouyin, she's a shameless, vicious, and sinister woman!"

She turned back to look at Princess Xuan, "You said my words, it would be most appropriate to give them to Bai Rouyin."

The Loyal and Brave Marquis clenched his fists and stepped forward. "If you dare to slander my son again, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

"What's wrong? Are you angry because I said that?" Lin went to meet him. "Lord Zhongyong has been staying in the military camp all year round. I'm afraid he doesn't know what his daughter has done. Then I will kindly tell you."

Zhao yelled, "Shut up!"

"At the Warm Winter Banquet, your daughter and Miss Gu Qi deceived Gu Ci into having a secret meeting on the lake island. Inside Jing'an Temple, your daughter instigated Miss Gu Qi to question Master Qingning and Princess Zhaoshan about blaspheming the gods and Buddhas by eating meat oil," Lin recounted each incident. "Outside Cikang Hall, your daughter incited the people to resent Princess Zhaoshan!"

"Lord Zhongyong, ask yourself, are these things something a good girl could do?"

Marquis Zhongyong took a step back and looked back in disbelief.

Zhao avoided her husband's gaze. "Princess Zhaoshan has already explained the matter of the lake island clearly. The matter of the soybean oil in Jing'an Temple was also questioned by you, mother and daughter, and Miss Gu Qi. What does this have to do with Rouyin?"

"As for the story of Cikangtang inciting the people, that's sheer nonsense! Stop throwing dirty water on my son!"

"Hahahaha, Zhao, your words are truly ridiculous! Everyone knows why Princess Zhaoshan is covering up the matter of the lake island!" Lin wiped away the tears of laughter from her eyes. "You don't have to admit it, after all, time has passed, and I really don't have any evidence."

Zhao's heart, which had been hanging in her throat, relaxed slightly.

"But I have solid evidence that Cikangtang is inciting the people!"

Lin walked up to Zhao and her daughter and said, "That day, outside Cikang Hall, a servant from the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery disguised himself and mingled with the common people. He used rhetoric to incite the people to be dissatisfied with Princess Zhaoshan's sale of soybean oil. He was caught red-handed by Madam Yang and her identity was exposed."

"If you don't believe me, you can ask Madam Yang to testify!"

Zhao was stunned. She looked at her pale daughter in her arms and asked, "Rouyin, is what Lin said true?"

Bai Rouyin bit her lips and said nothing.

Zhao covered her heart.

"If Lord Zhongyong and his wife feel that inviting Madam Yang is too embarrassing, they can also ask Princess Zhaoshan," Lin turned around, "After all, the princess knows everything about this matter." Lord Zhongyong looked at Tang Zhao with red eyes.

Tang Zhao nodded. "My maid heard that servant slander me in front of Cikang Hall. She wanted to arrest him and report him to the authorities to find out who was behind it. However, Madam Yang recognized the servant and exposed his plot on the spot. So, I didn't pursue the matter any further."

Marquis Zhongyong took a few steps back and fell onto a wooden chair.

"Bai Rouyin is jealous of Princess Zhaoshan. Who in the entire northwest doesn't know this?" Lin pointed at Bai Rouyin and said, "If you want to plot against Princess Zhaoshan, go ahead and do it yourself. Why do you have to use my Meng family as a pretext?"

"You completely destroyed my painstakingly planned plan to redeem my reputation! You caused me to be scolded by the master and the old lady, and I lost my reputation as a virtuous woman and my position as housekeeper!"

Lin yelled at Princess Xuan, "Bai Rouyin hurt me so much, shouldn't I teach her a lesson? Is it wrong for me to teach her a lesson?"

"You say I'm cruel and immoral, but Bai Rouyin brought this upon herself!"

"A woman like her deserves this kind of retribution," Lin laughed. "She's drenched in feces. I can't even tell which is dirtier, the feces or Bai Rouyin!"

There was a moment of silence in Minghui Hall, with only Lin's laughter as the sound.

Master Meng rolled his eyes. "Your Highness, although the Lin family's methods were cruel, the incident was ultimately caused by the daughter of the Loyal and Brave Marquis, and the daughter of the Loyal and Brave Marquis was not injured by the killer bees. It would be unfair for Your Highness to blame the incident entirely on the Lin family."

"How about fifty lashes of the cane each, the Lin family will live in seclusion in the Buddhist temple for three years, and the Meng family will give the daughter of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery thirty-three loads of dowry, and this matter will be settled."

"Lord Zhongyong, what do you think of my proposal?"

Zhao refused, "A mere thirty-three dan of dowry is supposed to offset the humiliation my daughter has suffered?"

Meng Yuan sneered, "Madam Zhongyong, thirty-three loads of dowry is quite a lot. Who told you that your daughter is not innocent?"

Seeing that Zhao was still trying to argue, Meng Yuan waved his fan and said, "Madam Zhongyong, instead of bargaining with me about the price of these few loads of dowry, why don't you think about whether these dowries are still useful to your daughter?"

Zhao was stunned.

"If you don't want to marry me, then don't! Do you think I care about you?" Bai Rouyin pushed Zhao away and screamed, "I was supposed to marry Brother Yuanye. I am Brother Yuanye's wife!"

Gu Ci said calmly, "Miss Bai, you and I are not destined to be together."

"Yes, yes, we are destined to be together," Bai Rouyin cried, "It's all Tang Zhao's fault! As long as Tang Zhao dies..."

Before Bai Rouyin could finish her words, Marquis Zhongyong chopped her on the shoulder with a knife and she passed out.

Tang Zhao: At least you should wait for her to finish speaking.

"I admit my poor parenting skills," the Marquis of Zhongyong said hoarsely as he handed his daughter to his wife, "but the Bai family will never forget the humiliation my daughter suffered!"

"From today on, my Bai family and the Meng family are completely separated. From now on, wherever the Meng family enters or leaves, my Bai family will not be around!"

Marquis Zhongyong left his words and stood up, clasping his fists and bowing to King Xuan. "I'm sorry to trouble you, Your Majesty, with today's affairs."

After the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery finished speaking, he carried his daughter on his back and took his wife's hand as he left without mercy.
