The wicked mother-in-law doesn't try to whitewash herself; she only abuses her awful children.

Chapter 793: The idea of repaying kindness with enmity

But the Lin family is such a family that ordinary people wouldn't dare to joke around with them.

Liu Yue'e asked with a gloomy face, "Aren't you getting married the day after tomorrow? How did you escape?"

"Sister-in-law Gu, I really am Miss Lin. We met at Old Madam Su's birthday banquet last time." Miss Lin nodded while crying.

She was beaten so badly that her limbs were almost shattered, and she was in excruciating pain.

Liu Yue'e sneered. With so many young ladies, who would know which one is Miss Lin?

Miss Lin, suppressing her sobs, recounted how Madam Lin had mistreated her and how Miss Lin had been unforgiving of her.

Liu Yue'e is a straightforward and impulsive person. Even though he hit her, once the misunderstanding is cleared up, he will inevitably impulsively help her.

Miss Lin is confident that she can handle someone like Liu Yue'e.

Liu Yue'e interrupted Miss Lin crisply, saying, "Stop talking nonsense, I don't believe it."

Liu Yue'e's reason for not believing it was simple: she trusted her mother-in-law Tong Huaqiong's judgment.

Since my mother-in-law has recently become close to Madam Lin and accepted Madam Lin's invitation, it means that Madam Lin is a good person.

She believed that in some wealthy families, the stepmother would not treat the illegitimate daughter as well as her biological daughter, but that was only human nature. After all, the illegitimate daughter did not come from the stepmother's womb, and who doesn't love their own child?

She didn't believe it when people said that Madam Lin mistreated Miss Lin.

Even if Miss Lin was dissatisfied with her stepmother's behavior, as a young lady from a wealthy family, she must have close friends. The families that young ladies from wealthy families have a lot of influence. Why didn't she ask those influential people for help instead of coming to Gu Dashu's shop for assistance?

What is An thinking?
Although Liu Yue'e is straightforward, she is not stupid.

Miss Lin's eyes reddened again. She opened her mouth and said softly, "Sister-in-law Gu, what I said is true. After I escaped from the Lin family, I heard that Brother Gu was kind-hearted and chivalrous, so I dared to run away to Brother Gu's shop."

Miss Lin thought her words were flattering Gu Dashu, but they angered Liu Yue'e once again.

Liu Yue'e pointed at Miss Lin and scolded, "Calling you a vixen is not an exaggeration at all. You say Da Shu is kind-hearted and chivalrous, but you actually think of Da Shu as a stupid country bumpkin who thinks he can be fooled into going through fire and water for you with just a few tears."

Is this treating Gu Dashu like a sucker?
Miss Lin was dumbfounded.

She really thought that when she hid in Gu Dashu's shop.

Liu Yue'e, that stupid countrywoman, was able to see through her thoughts.

Miss Lin lowered her head and explained meekly, "Sister-in-law Gu, you've misunderstood. I didn't mean it. What I said is true. If I hadn't been desperate in the Lin family, why would I have braved the heavy snow to escape? Sister-in-law Gu, the longer I stay here, the greater the danger. If the Lin family finds me in the shop, it might be detrimental to you. Why don't you take me to the Prince Ning's residence? My cousin is the Princess Ning."

Liu Yue'e thought to herself, "Now that I'm here, it won't be so easy for me to leave."

They sent the Lin family's daughter to the Prince Ning's mansion. If the Lin family found out, wouldn't they shut down her and Gu Dashu's shop?

Miss Lin didn't utter a single truth.

Her seductive charm is too naive; it might fool men, but it won't fool her.

Liu Yue'e detained the person.

Even though she knew the person in front of her wasn't Gu Dashu's vixen, she was still furious.

Gu Dashu was almost ambushed by Qianqian in the prefectural city. He still hasn't learned his lesson. Leaving a young lady in the shop, even if you really are a hero saving a beauty, there will still be gossip if word gets out.

The news of Miss Lin's escape from the mansion shocked the Lin family.

The entire Lin residence was sealed off and dug up to the bone, with servants dispatched throughout the city. Madam Lin was so angry that she swore for the first time.

The wedding was in two days, and he ran away. What good reputation will the other girls in the Lin family have now?

Gu Dashu went to the vicinity of the Lin family to gather information.

Since Miss Lin's escape, the Lin family has received no news from Tie Tong, and no one has been seen entering or leaving the area.

Unable to find out anything, Gu Dashu went home to discuss it with Tong Huaqiong.

He thought that Old Madam Min was well-informed, and perhaps his mother could find out from her what kind of situation Miss Lin was in the mansion.

If what Miss Lin said is true, saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda.

If Miss Lin has deceived him, he wouldn't mind sending her back to the Lin family mansion to be dealt with by them.

Gu Dashu braved the wind and snow to arrive at her home. Tong Huaqiong asked in surprise, "Why are you here? Is the shop closed?"

Gu Dashu shook his head and said, “Mother, you know the Lin family, right? Miss Lin escaped from the Lin family and came to my shop. She said that she was mistreated in the Lin family since she was a child, and her stepmother made her marry an old man. She couldn’t stand it and ran away, begging me to send her to the Prince Ning’s mansion. I don’t dare to believe only one side of the story, so I came to discuss this matter with you, Mother.”

Tong Huaqiong was shocked.

The more he listened, the uglier his expression became.

Miss Lin was to get married in two days, but she ran away and ended up at Gu Dashu's shop.

Not only that, she didn't change her nature and made up a set of lies to fool Gu Dashu.

She didn't think her son was a fool, so why was Miss Lin so sure that Gu Dashu would believe it?

Fortunately, Gu Dashu is no longer the Gu Dashu who ran a shop in the prefectural city back then. He did not impulsively believe Miss Lin's words completely, but instead came to discuss it with her.

Tong Huaqiong cursed, "She's talking nonsense. She just took advantage of your gullibility and fooled you. She lived a very comfortable life in the Lin family. From a young age, Madam Lin treated her like her own daughter. Her current situation is entirely her own fault."

Miss Lin is such a troublemaker.

In order to gain Gu Dashu's trust, they went to great lengths to fabricate lies.

Doesn't she realize that if Gu Dashu really sent her to the Ning Prince's Mansion, the Lin family will find out sooner or later, and once they do, will they let Gu Dashu off the hook?

She's punishing those who repay kindness with enmity.

Gu Dashu asked in surprise, "Mother, do you know about the Lin family?"

Tong Huaqiong turned around and took out the wedding invitation from the Lin family, saying, "This is an invitation from the Lin family. Madam Lin is not what she says at all. The person she is going to marry is not some middle-aged man, but a young official from the Hanlin Academy. Originally, it was indeed a waste for her, the eldest daughter of the Lin family, to marry a minor official from the Hanlin Academy, but isn't this all her own doing?"

Tong Huaqiong then recounted how Miss Lin had schemed and plotted against Miss Lian by defaming her reputation. Gu Dashu became increasingly alarmed as he listened.

Miss Lin, who looks like a pure white jasmine flower, actually has such a vicious mind and methods.

Fortunately, he learned his lesson from the experience with Miss Qianqian in the prefectural city and did not believe her. He first sought to verify her identity, and when that failed, he came to his mother to discuss it.

Gu Dashu was a little angry.

Is he some kind of idiot?

Why are they all trying to find a breakthrough by targeting him?
