C19 Lin Long's Suspension

"I can't shut up!" Xu Zhaoning took a step forward and her voice was choked with sobs. She looked as if she was scared by Lin Loong's power. With red eyes, she added, "Second Sister being wrong is still a mistake. Even if you are in charge now, you can't threaten me to say something against my will."

"Xu Zhaoning!" Lin Loong had an unhappy expression as she glared fiercely at Xu Zhaoning. She wanted her to shut up and stop talking about Yanran swinging the hairpin to injure Xu Chengke.

Xu Zhaoning noticed the anxiousness and hostility on her face and sneered coldly in her heart, but on the surface, she still looked weak and weak. Tears were flowing down her face as she commanded Lin Loong:

"Madam, even if you were to shout at me, I would still say that Master Hou is the backbone of our Hou Mansion. Second Sister is so disrespectful to him, yet you didn't go to Master Hou's bed to take care of him, nor did you go to the Yanran Courtyard to remind him that he should wake up early and apologize to Master Hou. Instead, you're busy in this dilapidated courtyard." Madam, what you have done is too chilling. I believe that even Master Hou would feel a chill if he found out. "

Lin Loong didn't recover from Xu Zhaoning's words for a long time because she heard the people behind her looking at her in a different light.

"That's right, isn't this madam too hilarious? Master Hou is still injured on the bed. As his wife, she isn't waiting by the bed, but is still doing useless work here."

"Aiya, let's not talk about it anymore. There are aunts who rush back and forth when Master Hou is injured. What about Second Miss? She's Madame Second Miss's flesh and blood. She can even put her body aside, really …"

"Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk …"

"All of you, shut up!" Lin Loong angrily turned around and roared at the servants. However, no matter how loud she yelled, Xu Zhaoning's goal had been achieved, because the private exchanges between the servants revealed the brilliance in their eyes.

Xu Zhaoning was in a good mood, and at the same time she did not forget to add to the fire, "Ma'am, if Zhaoning's words make you unhappy, you can scold Zhaoning as you did before. Do not blame them. They are innocent. "

These words contained a lot of information. He pointed out that Lin Loong had often scolded her before, but she had also given back a favor in front of the servants.

At that time, once the reputation of the young miss of Loyalty Duke's Mansion being strict with her stepmother spread out, wouldn't the image of a loving mother that Lin Loong had spent so much effort to create collapse?

Lin Loong also immediately thought of this. She was so angry that she wanted to swing her palm at Xu Zhaoning. Xu Zhaoning avoided it just in time. At the same time, she didn't forget to tearfully complain, "Madam, I'm the personal Prefecture Princess of the Emperor. Are you looking down on Prefecture Prince Si Manor for treating me like this?"

"Ha! What Prefecture Princess ? Isn't she a poor, widowed person?!"

Lin Loong was so angry that she lost her mind. She sensed something was wrong the moment she said those words, but it was already too late. When she turned around to look behind her, she discovered that everyone was staring at her with widened eyes. Their appearances were all extremely shocked.

"All of you shut up! You didn't hear anything just now. " Lin Loong was flustered and exasperated. The servants of the house of the Marquis naturally answered with fear and trepidation. Just as Lin Loong let out a sigh of relief, she heard Xu Zhaoning's quiet voice.

"Madam, the emperor's face isn't so easily slapped. You'd better think about how to explain to the emperor what it means to be a widow soon."

"Xu Zhaoning!" I warn you not to pick on me. Within this Loyalty Duke's Mansion, the one making the decision is me, Lin Loong. If you piss me off, do you believe that I won't let you live until you marry me!? "

"Madam, I …" Xu Zhaoning was frightened even more and she retreated a few steps. But Lin Loong wasn't paying attention to the angle. She sneered and silently counted in her heart. Indeed, when she counted to three, a deep voice rang out:

"What a grand tone. I don't know about it, but it turns out that your entire Loyalty Duke's Mansion is determined by a woman like you."

It was Old Duke, Xu Renyu!

Lin Loong was so frightened that her face turned pale. She hurried forward to explain. "Father, it's not …"

However, Xu Renyu didn't listen to her at all, he glanced around the yard and then landed on Xu Zhaoning, "Lin Loong, shouldn't you be grounded? What exactly is going on? "

"In response to Old Duke's words, Zhaoning only reminded Madam that Master Hou and Second Sister are still lying on the bed. Madam, as the mistress, should focus on her husband and daughter."

Seeing that Xu Renyu's expression had sunk, Xu Zhaoning couldn't help but feel overjoyed. "Zhaoning's marriage was sealed by the emperor himself. Although Prefecture Prince Si's body was a little weak, his heart was simple and filial. Even Empress Dowager was praising him personally. Madam said that he …"

"Xu Zhaoning, shut up. I didn't …" Seeing that Xu Zhaoning was going too far, Lin Loong panicked. She wanted to stop Xu Zhaoning from talking, but was cut off by Xu Renyu. "You'd better shut up!"

Lin Loong was forced two steps back, her scalp tingling, and she broke out in a cold sweat.

"Old Duke, Madame looks down on Prefecture Prince Si, but Zhaoning's identity as Prefecture Princess was personally bestowed by the Emperor. If the Emperor hears Mrs. Lin's words just now, mistakenly thinks that our Loyalty Duke's Mansion is not satisfied with this marriage, then at that time …"

"Servant, Madam Madame Lin has been worrying too much and has lost her mind. She needs more time to recuperate."

"It's not like that. Father, listen to my explanation …" Lin Loong knew that the restriction on foot could still be lifted, but how could she accept such a decision when she had to meditate to see what was so impressive about it? She immediately wanted to explain.

However, Xu Renyu was thinking all the same. Previously, when Eunuch Shun left, he said those ambiguous words, Prefecture Prince Si's position in the court was self-evident. If those disrespectful words were to spread into the ears of the emperor, even if he didn't die, his Loyalty Duke's Mansion would at least be stripped of its layer.

He couldn't take such a risk, so he immediately waved his hand and ordered his men to take Lin Loong down. At the same time, he announced, "Aunt Bai will temporarily take care of the food in the manor."

Aunt Bai was the biological mother of Third Miss , and she was also one of the concubines Xu Chengke was doting on. Normally, she would have a hostile relationship with Lin Loong.

Xu Liwei's words were obviously meant to shock Lin Loong. Xu Zhaoning saw clearly that when Lin Loong was dragged away, he did not forget to give her a provocative smile.

"Sister Ning." Xu Renyu walked in front of Xu Zhaoning, his old eyes filled with consideration. He had once hoped for this great granddaughter of his, but as she became timid, he gradually lost interest.

Unexpectedly, some of her methods these days gradually gave birth to some hope for him. His son was unreliable. It was not bad to have an outstanding granddaughter.

Xu Zhaoning pretended not to notice the look in Xu Liwei's eyes and smiled warmly, "Old Duke."

Whether it was Xu Renyu or Xu Chengke, Xu Zhaoning had always referred to them by their titles, and in view of their previous shitty behavior, she did not intend to call them grandfather and father.

"Sister Ning, Loyalty Duke's Mansion is your parents' home after all. No matter if it's Crown Princess or Prefecture Princess , you are a lady whose Loyalty Duke's Mansion has left."

As Xu Liwei seemed to be hinting at something, a light flashed across Xu Zhaoning's eyes. She continued to smile innocently, "Old Duke, don't worry. If people don't offend me, I won't offend them. If they do, return it tenfold or even a hundredfold."

Xu Renyu was stunned!

This vengeful nature of his was very similar to the him of his youth.
