Before Auntie Zhong could finish speaking, Lin Pei had already angrily walked out.

To him, this was already the truth.

Without even thinking about it, Lin Shu immediately knew that he was going to the Fanghua Garden. Seemingly running at a fast pace, she followed.

But when Lin Pei stepped into the room, he ordered people to close the door behind him. Lin Shu was extremely anxious outside, and he did not care about the peony blocking him, and went in.

When Lin Shu went in, she looked at Madam Lian who was sitting on the brick bed with a heavy expression.

Lin Pei glanced at Lin Shu, and her anger grew even stronger, "I always knew that you were being spoiled by your mother for being lawless, but I didn't expect you to be so bold now, did you think nothing of my words? "Get out!"

"Master is angry. What's the point of venting your anger at the Sister Shu if he's coming for me?" Anger surfaced on Madam Lian's face, and she couldn't help but stand up.

Lin Pei was about to say something, but Lin Shu interrupted him, "Could it be that you have already decided? However, has father ever thought about who would be the most pleased that you would vent your anger on your mother for this matter? It's the Auntie Zhong! Didn't you think that this was something that Auntie Zhong designed? "

"By the Auntie Zhong?" Lin Pei said coldly, "Could it be that you can't even think of a scapegoat, so you won't even let Auntie Zhong off? Not to mention that the Auntie Zhong thinks of Tang Geer as an eyesore, so how could she take her own son's life to frame someone? "

Lin Shu did not say anything, but raised her voice and ordered Actinin Qin to bring the joyous tree in.

Lin Pei did not understand, "What are you doing?"

"I know what I'm saying at this time, but you won't believe me. You only feel that the Auntie Zhong and Tang Geer are the most pitiful people in this world. Lin Shu's voice was clear, neither angry nor sad, and actually did not hold much hope for her nominal father from the bottom of her heart.

In her previous life, when she found out that Shao Shengping's heart belonged to someone, it was not like she did not write Lin Pei a letter that mentioned about wanting to leave him. However, Lin Pei's reply was that his Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion did not tolerate leaving the woman, not to mention that Shao Shengping at that time was quite the Sacred Heart, so leaving him was even more impossible.

"Now that we're talking about your mother's conspiracy to kill Tang Geer for the rest of her life, what are you trying to do by the side?"

He rarely visited Lin You Ting's room, and most of the time when he went to Falling Swallow Garden, Auntie Zhong would bring Tang Geer out. Who knew what was going on in Tang Geer's room?

Lin Shu said: This joyous tree is indeed placed in front of Tang Geer's house, I will not hide it from you, the Falling Swallow Garden has a few eyes and ears, but one time, I saw Auntie Zhong pour all the medicine into the plant, and today, there is still a medicinal scent, if you do not believe me, you can come and smell it!

"When the imperial physician came earlier, you were not here, but I heard it clearly. He said that Tang Geer's illness was just common cold, and that if he took the medicine for three to five days, he would definitely recover, but if Tang Geer had not taken the medicine from the beginning to the end? Does that make sense? "

"As for Xiangyun, she is indeed Furong's cousin, but you have been an official for many years, so you have some reasons that are clearer than me. When the yamen was dealing with a case, it was obvious that someone was doing it intentionally, so think about it, if Mother really wanted to do it, why not choose an ordinary Maid that has nothing to do with her, and pick Xiangyun instead?"

"All of the Maid's indentations are in my mother's hands. Could it be that if my mother forced them to poison my mother, they would still dare to disobey? "Even after poisoning her, I can find a reason to fool her so that she won't be dragged into it."

After a long while, Lin Pei finally took a deep breath and said: "Who can prove that this joyous tree is the one in Tang Geer's room? "Even if it really is true, since Auntie Zhong doesn't believe in your mother, it wouldn't be unreasonable for us to just pour the medicine into the maid …"

This man, no matter who his heart was on, he would have no reason to side with anyone. He didn't even seem to have a brain.

It was a good thing that Lin Shu did not have much hope towards this father, otherwise, she would have already been angered, "If the servant girl was not wrong, when Auntie Zhong was pregnant with Tang Geer, Grandmother had invited the great master to calculate for Auntie Zhong, that the baby in Auntie Zhong must have been a boy. At that time, Grandmother was afraid that if the mother did not have a son, the child in Auntie Zhong would not be well, and the mother would only take care of the child."

"Even that joyous tree, was invited by my grandmother to have a look at that monk from Dafu Temple. That high monk also said that such a joyous tree is difficult to find for a hundred years, if you don't believe, you can ask that high monk to take a look, I believe that high monk will be able to tell right away! As for the matter of Auntie Zhong brewing medicine for Tang Geer in private, you can go and find the servant girl from Falling Swallow Garden and ask her if there is anything wrong. "

Lin Pei hesitated, "Then what do you mean … Even if Auntie Zhong truly wanted to frame your mother, she would definitely not stop Tang Geer … "

"I don't know about these things. Why don't you ask Auntie Zhong?" Lin Shu's voice was soft and gentle, but if you listened carefully, you would hear a hint of indifference in her voice, "It's just that a child's condition is originally extremely dangerous, so normally, it doesn't matter if it's dragged on for three or five days. However, how can you know for sure?"

Madam Lian also followed up with an indifferent tone: "If Master doesn't believe me, just investigate the people around me and we will find out everything. Whoever did this kind of heinous thing, they will definitely find out some clues."

Without mentioning anything else, he was just checking if there was anyone around her who had bought the Spottedleaf Orchid. He was checking to see if Hibiscus had contacted Xiangyun, or went to see if anyone had contacted her before she died.

These were all extremely small and secretive matters. Finding them would take a lot of effort, but it wouldn't be of much use. Once the dust settled, who would care about these trivial matters?

Lin Pei did not hesitate for even a moment. He only said that he would send someone to report to Grand Madam and invite the esteemed senior monk from Dafu Temple over. As for what had happened, he did not plan to tell Grand Madam until the conclusion was reached.

The amount of money the Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion offered to Dafu Temple was as much as a thousand liang of balm, and the esteemed monk came over quickly as well. However, after taking a look at it, he could confirm that this joyous tree was given to Sixth Young Master by him back then.

Hearing this, Lin Pei's face turned ashen, and he asked a few s with insignificant Falling Swallow Garden about it.

Not only did the Maid not order them to endure the extra medicine, they also did not allow anyone to be in the house during the times when they were being fed the medicine, as they were afraid of alarming Sixth Young Master.

Another bold servant girl came forward and said: "Speaking of which, this servant thinks that it's strange. Every time when I'm feeding the medicine, Sixth Young Master doesn't cry or make a fuss. "Even if I left a servant by the side to pass the handkerchief, it would still be good …"

Even before she finished speaking, Lin Pei had already slammed the table, shaking the table so much that the lid made a loud bang.

Maid quickly stopped talking and knelt down, but he still did not know where he was wrong.

Madam Lian said indifferently: "You may all go now!"

The leader of the servants led the Maid and left.

Lin Pei's face was ashen, but he did not say a word.

In comparison to the fact that this was done by the Madam Lian, she felt even more resentful at the fact that the Auntie Zhong had tried to harm his own son. Was this the woman that had followed by his side for nearly ten years? It was fortunate that he had always felt that the Auntie Zhong was gentle and virtuous, hence he pitied her a bit more. However, she didn't expect the Auntie Zhong to be so vicious to such an extent …

Madam Lian only stepped forward and said, "If Master does not have any orders, then I will bring Shu'er out for dinner. After being busy for the entire day, I'm afraid Sister Shu is already starving." She did not invite Lin Pei to eat with them.

This incident caused quite a ruckus from morning until the sky turned dark. Madam Lian only felt her mind growing tired.

Lin Pei nodded slightly.

Madam Lian brought Lin Shu and left. The moment they left, he endured the pain in her heart and asked: "Did you feel that something was wrong long ago?"

Even though she was still a mother, she still did not realize anything. If it was her Sister Shu, then she would have been holding onto the letter Lin Pei gave her!

Lin Shu nodded, and said softly: "That's right … "Because I thought that you had too many things to do recently, I didn't tell you about it. I'm afraid you might be worried!"

However, Madam Lian held her in her arms. In the darkness of the night, her tears actually began to fall, "If you know about this matter in the future, you definitely have to tell Mother. You are so young, how can you possibly win against Auntie Zhong? Fortunately, you were lucky this time around. If Auntie Zhong knew, even you had fallen into her trap.

Lin Shu agreed and said that she wouldn't dare to do it the next time, but she knew in her heart that if there was a next time, she would still do it.

In her previous life, she had let down her mother in too many ways. In this life, it was her turn to protect her mother.

As for Lin Pei who was inside the side chamber, he sat inside his house late into the night, and even when the Madam Lian sent a servant to send food in, he did not touch the food at all.

When Lin Pei walked out of the Fanghua Garden gate, the lights on all four sides had already been extinguished.

The night wind blew gently, but the anger in Lin Pei's heart did not dissipate at all. He had been thinking, why did the Auntie Zhong do this? And what did he do to let the Auntie Zhong down?

The Auntie Zhong was gifted to him by an official when he went to the Yangzhou, he was said to be the daughter of Qing Bai's family. However, everyone knew that the Auntie Zhong was just a thin horse that was trained to serve men.

He had originally planned to expose Auntie Zhong to his side as a warm bed maid, but seeing that Auntie Zhong was sensible and proper, he promoted her to an aunt. After all these years, she lived in a courtyard by herself, with two children by her side.
