Chapter 785 Withered Peony

As soon as Lin Shang entered the room, he heard the roar, but he didn't hear all the words, so he immediately knelt down obediently, and looked up at Elder Lin Ge tremblingly.

Lin Ge is not good at fame, but he is very strict with his children and grandchildren. Even if he is no longer in the court, he still requires the children of the Lin family to have the style of the family, and the family rules that he set have to be read in one day and one night.However, Lin Shang, the grandson of Lin Shang, is not up to the mark. No matter how strict the family tradition is, he can reach out from the small cracks to make troubles. Teng Tiao personally taught Lin Shang a lesson.

Lin Shang thought for a while that he didn't seem to have done anything wrong in the past few days. It was probably because there was too much noise in the street with Zhao Yinzhang just now, which reached Elder Lin Ge's ears and aroused his dissatisfaction.

Lin Shang immediately pointed to Zhao Yinzhang: "Grandfather, it was Zhao Yinzhang who made the first move. Look at what my face looks like. It's none of my business."

Elder Lin Ge took a closer look at Lin Shang's face, and slapped the table again angrily: "It's an extra crime to fight in the street."

"No, Zhao Yinzhang hit me..."

Before he finished speaking, his mother, Feng Shi, hurriedly hugged Lin Shang from the side of Elder Lin Ge: "Shang'er, tell me, did you send someone to give the noble concubine a pot of peonies as a birthday congratulation. "

Lin Shang was taken aback, glanced at Elder Lin Ge's face, asked Feng Shi in a low voice, "How do you know?"

He purposely planned this matter without telling his elders in the family and his cousin Lin Shen, but Lin Shen came up with his own brain and he was in charge of handling the matter.

Feng lamented: "The peonies you sent to the imperial concubine had withered when they were presented to the imperial concubine. The imperial concubine was so angry that she thought it was a satire that she was a broken flower and a willow."

Li Xiruo heard that it was related to the pot of peonies, and exchanged a glance with Chen Xin. Chen Xin covered his wound with worried eyes, and the Lin family won't blame them for this later.

Fortunately, Mr. Lin Ge has withdrawn from the ruling and opposition parties, and the imperial concubine can't do anything to him, but his student He Liang is not so lucky.He Liang, as the teaching assistant of the son of the state, also took up the post of history editor, but the imperial concubine found a mistake and was dismissed from office. After hearing the news, He Liang wrote a letter to Mr. Lin Ge for help.

"Nie Zong, flattering on the horse's leg, failed to please the imperial concubine, but angered her, do you think court affairs are something you usually play around with? Although I resigned from office and returned to my hometown, the eyes of many parties in the court You have never stopped monitoring the Lin family for a moment, but now you are rushing to send it to the wrong place, and now the letter of complaint has been delivered to the door, where do you let my old face go?"

Just as Lin Shang wanted to explain something, Li Xiruo saw a tall and thin figure coming out of the darkness. This person had gloomy eyes, sunken cheeks, and a handsome appearance, but he couldn't be loved.

Lin Shen threw up his robe and knelt on the ground with a plop: "Grandpa, don't blame my cousin, it's all my fault. I didn't stop Lin Shang, and I didn't tell my grandfather in time to make him make a heinous mistake. Punish me."

Lin Shang pointed at him angrily: "Lin Shen, obviously you told me that the imperial concubine likes peonies."

Lin Shen lowered his head: "I know it's all my fault, I just mentioned it casually, but I didn't expect you to actually do it, all this is my fault, please punish me, grandpa."

Lin Shen is the concubine of Lin's family. Compared with Lin Shang, the direct grandson, Elder Lin Ge disciplined him less and naturally loved him less. However, Elder Lin knew that Lin Shen had always been cautious because of his status as a concubine, and he had developed a sensitive and suspicious personality. Temperament, if I blame him here, if I don't keep him safe, he will think wildly and affect the relationship between brothers.

"Okay, Lin Shen, I know you are cautious and won't do such absurd things, get up."

Lin Shang was full of grievances when he heard that, Feng Shi gave Lin Shen a look, didn't she know what kind of tricks Lin Shen was playing, that is, Lin Shang was stupid, he couldn't see that Lin Shen regarded him as an opponent, and trusted him unconditionally, As a result, the matter was revealed, and the one who suffered was himself.

Feng couldn't just watch Lin Shang being punished, and said to Lin Ge, "Elder-in-law, I think this is all related to the unscrupulous traders who sold the peony to Shang'er. How can a good flower wither, Shang'er, tell me Mother, where are the flower sellers, we brought them here to confront each other, maybe they are the ones who got into trouble."

Li Xiruo raised her eyebrows. This woman really wanted to bring disaster to the east. Lin Shang, who was kneeling on the ground, unconsciously glanced at Li Xiruo and Chen Xin. Feng knew her son best. Looking into his eyes, he saw a beautiful woman wearing coarse sackcloth, standing beside a frail and injured scholar, she pointed at them and asked Lin Shangdao: "They sold you that peony?"

Lin Shang didn't nod or shake his head. When he knew that there was a mistake in sending his peony, he was a little flustered, and now he didn't know what to do.

Mrs. Feng regarded Li Xiruo and Li Xiruo as the last life-saving straw, and said, "Eunuch, the pot of peonies must have been poisoned by these two people secretly. Come on, we have to report to officials to arrest people so that these two people can tell the truth."

As long as she enters the cell, it's up to her to decide what to say.

After hearing this, Chen Xin held Li Xiruo's hand, ready to run away with her at any time.

Lin Shang heard that the matter was going to go to the government, so he hurriedly tugged on Feng's sleeves: "Mother, this matter has nothing to do with them."

Feng gave him a look to shut up, and Li Xiruo saw that his valuable peony was only sold to them for 200 taels of silver, but he was going to be slandered, and immediately snorted: "Since Mr. Lin said that it has nothing to do with us, Let's say goodbye first."

As soon as she helped Chen Xin to turn around, the guards of the Lin family ran up to stop them, Li Xiruo's eyes were cold, she turned her head to see that Chen Xin was already sweating, thinking it's better to let him rest first, He supported him on the chair in front of everyone in the Lin family, which attracted everyone's surprised eyes. I don't know where the courage of this little girl came from. She knew that she was going to go to jail, but she didn't invite herself to sit down. She didn't have the slightest fear .

Chen Xin looked at Li Xiruo worriedly, and Li Xiruo gave him a comforting smile.

Li Xiruo straightened up and turned around to face everyone in the Lin family. He went straight to Lin Shang's mother and son, but looked past them at Mr. Lin Ge: "I have always heard that Mr. Lin Ge is honest and upright. I think everyone in the Lin family admires him." I have the style of old Lin, but what I saw today is the outside of the gold, and the inside of the failure, pushing each other, framing each other, is this the recent habit of the Lin family?"

Lin Shen's father, Lin You, came out and accused: "Presumptuous, you are a little commoner's daughter, how dare you talk to Mr. Ge like that."

Li Xiruo smiled: "Mr. Lin himself emphasized that he has resigned for many years and doesn't care about world affairs. Mr. Ge is just a matter of the past. Now we are all ordinary people. Is there any class distinction?"

Elder Lin Ge had been sitting upright, but now he clapped his hands and smiled when he heard Li Xiruo's words: "Well said, I'm just a bad old man now, if you have anything to say, just open up and say it."

"Father."

Feng's expression was slightly dissatisfied. She thought in her heart that if Li Xi had seduced Lin Shang to buy flowers with her appearance, it would have caused this disaster. She hated her so much that she only hoped that she could be sent to prison.

Lin Ge ignored her, but Li Xiruo stared at Feng Shi and said, "I'm just the daughter of Orion. I don't understand the court affairs, but I just listened to a few words, and I understand a little bit. Mr. Lin sent peony to you." Like we use rabbit meat to lure wild beasts into the trap step by step to achieve our own goals. The hunter bought the skinned rabbit meat from the butcher, but the rabbit meat was stolen by a cunning fox halfway, and the hunter lost a day. Is it the fault of the butcher that he got rabbit meat but no wild beast?"

Mr. Lin Ge was used to quoting scriptures and allusions. It was the first time he heard such a novel metaphor, and he found it quite interesting. He asked, "Then it's the fox's fault?"

Li Xiruo shook his head: "Not all, the fault lies with the hunter. He should have guarded the trap well, so that he could catch a fox and a beast at the same time, but he took it lightly, was too stupid, and let the fox take advantage of it." , worked hard all day but got nothing."

Lin Shang heard that Li Xiruo was scolding him, and immediately blushed. He was indeed careless in doing things, and the peony withered. It should be that Lin Gelao's former opponent in the court got the news and deliberately provoked him.

Feng was worried that Lin Ge would blame Lin Shang, so she tried her best to argue: "Elder-in-law, don't listen to this woman's sophistry, I think this flower is her hand and foot, Shang'er has always been careful, and this will never happen. error."

Mr. Lin Ge snorted coldly: "Do you not know what your own son is like? You used to be too spoiled. I won't talk about the usual culprits. Now such a big incident has caused He Liang to be dismissed. I How could he be easily spared. Let him go down to receive twenty whips and kneel in the ancestral hall for one night."

Just as Feng wanted to intercede, Zhao Yinzhang laughed beside him: "It deserves it."

Feng frowned, she didn't like this daughter-in-law in the first place, but now she felt that she was even more impolite.

Hearing Zhao Yinzhang's ridicule, Lin Shang gritted his teeth. He can't cure others, but can't he cure her, Zhao Yinzhang?

He pointed at Zhao Yinzhang and complained to Elder Lin Ge: "Grandfather, Zhao Yinzhang injured Chen Xin just now, and he is not responsible."

"You." Zhao Yinzhang was so angry that he wanted to throw a whip, but he stopped under the intimidation of Mr. Lin Ge. Looking at these two useless things, Mr. Lin Ge looked at the injured Chen Xin, and suddenly felt that the name sounded familiar: "You are that dutiful son Chen Xin?"

Chen Xin didn't expect that his name could still come out of Old Lin Ge's mouth, so he quickly stood up and nodded, and Old Lin Ge said apologetically, "The family is unlucky, let the scholar see the joke, come here, please go and ask the doctor Xiucai healed well."

The servants took orders and took Chen Xin and Li Xiruo to the wing room. Lin Ge turned his head to look at the two people who caused trouble, and waved his big hand hating iron and steel: "Both of you kneel down to the ancestral hall for me, and dinner Don't eat it."

Lin Shang and Zhao Yinzhang looked at each other, both thinking of strangling each other to death.
