Chapter 15 Luan 1

"Report to the old lady, the eldest master's family and the uncle will be here soon."

Everyone waited for more than an hour, and finally got good news, and they were all excited.

Old lady Ling was very happy, and she said loudly: "Hurry up and order someone to open the main gate."

The Ling Mansion usually only opens the side door. Today, the eldest master Ling's family is back, and Uncle Lu has come from afar, so naturally the main gate must be opened to welcome guests.

Old lady Ling walked to the main gate surrounded by everyone. Ling Jingshu slowed down her pace intentionally or unintentionally, and fell behind with Ling Xiao.

"Ashu, you don't like such a lively occasion, why don't we two sneak away first!" Ling Xiao whispered in Ling Jingshu's ear: "Anyway, there are so many people here, and it won't be eye-catching if we are missing. No one will notice."

Ling Jingshu felt warm in her heart. Ling Xiao must have noticed her low mood, so he suggested to slip away halfway.

Although no one would notice it at this time, a scolding would be inevitable afterwards. More importantly, she didn't want to hide anymore.

"It's just a short while, just bear with it and it will pass." Ling Jingshu also lowered her voice: "There are many people here, don't run around, just stay by my side."

Ling Xiao never refused Ling Jingshu's decision, and nodded obediently.

The two siblings held hands intimately, leaning very close to each other, forming a small world of their own.

Everyone was looking forward to the return of Master Ling's family and Uncle Lu, and no one paid attention to the siblings at all - even if they noticed, no one would find it strange.

Since Yao's death and Li's marriage, the two siblings have been close and dependent on each other. Ling Jingshu cared for Ling Xiao meticulously, and Ling Xiao also relied on Ling Jingshu wholeheartedly. On the contrary, he was not close to his father, Master Ling Wu.

Someone with a sharp eye shouted: "Here they come!"

Everyone was immediately excited.

......

Several carriages stopped at the gate of Ling's house.

The first to get off were Master Ling's family.

Grandpa Ling, 45 years old, has a square face, a handsome appearance, a few strands of beard, and a demeanor of a civil servant.

The 40-year-old woman next to him, wearing gorgeous clothes, delicate makeup, and outstanding temperament, is his aunt Sun. In addition, there is the eldest son Ling Ji with his wife and children. The bright and beautiful girl standing behind Sun is the eldest daughter of the eldest house, Ling Jingyan.

"My son is unfilial and has not come back to visit his mother for several years." Grandpa Ling strode to the front of Mrs. Ling and bowed to her head.

Mrs. Ling's eyes immediately turned red, and she trembled as she reached out to support Grandpa Ling: "You are an official in the capital, and you are busy with official duties all day long. It is inconvenient to come back. How can I blame you..."

Before he finished speaking, Grandpa Ling had already burst into tears.

At his age, he still cried like a child in front of his old mother. Mrs. Ling was happy and sad, and she hugged her eldest son and cried.

Crying is contagious. The eyes of the fourth and fifth masters of Ling also turned red, and soon, everyone followed suit and wiped their tears.

Ling Jingshu and Ling Xiao fell behind the crowd, lowered their heads and covered their faces with their sleeves casually, just pretending.

After the excitement of Mrs. Ling and the first master of Ling subsided a little, another man's voice rang out: "Mother-in-law and uncle have been separated for several years. They must be very happy to meet again at this time. Why don't you go to the mansion first and then slowly talk about your farewell feelings."

This voice, with the unique deep and low voice of a middle-aged man, entered Ling Jingshu's ears.

Even though Ling Jingshu had been mentally prepared, she couldn't help but tremble all over when she heard this voice.

She raised her head.

A familiar face came into view.

The 32-year-old man, with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, had a short beard, was handsome and elegant, and had an extraordinary demeanor. He could be called a handsome man. Most of Lu Hong's good looks came from him.

This man was the head of the Lu family, Ling's husband, and her father-in-law in her previous life.

Lu An!

......

She and Lu Hong were in love with each other and loved each other very much after they got married. Less than a year after their marriage, she became pregnant and gave birth to a son. Lu Hong won the provincial examination again, and then went to Beijing to participate in the imperial examination, and won the first place in one fell swoop.

At that time, she felt that her life was happy and smooth, and there was no regret.

Unexpectedly, the nightmare of life really began from this moment.

Lu Qian's strange feelings for her made her suffer. The bad news that Lu Hong had ulterior motives shocked and saddened her. Because of Lu Qian, Ling, who was originally kind, looked at her with more and more gloomy eyes and made things difficult for her everywhere. The servants in the mansion talked about it, and their eyes gradually became full of contempt when they looked at her. They privately rumored that she was not a good wife and seduced her uncle.

This basin of dirty water splashed on her made her speechless and she cried in secret.

She knew in her heart that these were all tricks of Ling. It was obvious that Lu Qian was obsessed with her, and Ling was afraid that these words would spread and damage Lu Qian's reputation, so she deliberately distorted the facts. Ling had been in charge of the Lu family for many years and had many confidants in the mansion. It was easy for her to manipulate rumors.

She had a hard time in the mansion and her life became more and more difficult.

Ling arranged a good marriage for Lu Qian. When Lu Qian knew about it, he made a big fuss. In front of everyone, he wanted to cancel the engagement and kept saying that he wanted to marry her.

Ling's face and dignity were completely lost, and the facts that she had tried hard to cover up were completely exposed. In anger, she ordered people to lock her up. She also drugged the food that was delivered.

When she woke up from her coma, she was horrified to find herself naked and in a mess, and the man lying next to her was her father-in-law Luan.

Lu An was usually lustful and had more than a dozen beautiful concubines in his house. There were also many enchanting singers and dancers in his house. However, he still maintained his dignity as a father-in-law in front of her, looking sanctimonious. But who would have thought that he would rape her while she was under the influence of aphrodisiac...

She has no face to live and wants to die.

Mrs. Ling appeared in front of her with a hideous smile and hugged the child: "Ling Jingshu, if you stay on your own terms, the child will live with you. If you commit suicide and die, I will let your son accompany you to the underworld."

Looking at her son's young and tender face, she burst into tears and suppressed her thoughts of death in humiliation.

Mrs. Ling looked at her with eyes full of sorrow, resentment and hatred, and smiled coldly: "Ling Jingshu, I didn't want to do this to you. After all, you are my biological niece. I want you to marry into the Lu family and be my daughter-in-law. I was expecting you to be my helper. But it’s a pity that you didn’t restrain Lu Hong’s heart. He won the first prize and won the favor of the princess, so he has a better future. "

"Lu Hong refuses to have you, and it is inevitable that you will feel sad. But you should never come to seduce my Ah Qian. His reputation and future cannot be ruined in your hands."

This confusing statement is really ridiculous.

She subconsciously defended: "I didn't seduce Ah Qian. I never had any other thoughts about him from the beginning to the end. He was the one who kept pestering me..."

"Shut up!"

Ling scolded angrily, her face distorted by anger: "He is still a confused child who knows what envy is. If you hadn't deliberately seduced him, he would never have gone astray. Nor would he have made a fuss about retreating. Honey, if this scandal spreads, how will he continue to talk about marriage and behave in an upright manner in the future?"

"Now that you are having an affair with your father-in-law, no matter how unwilling A Qian is, he will not dare to compete with his father for a woman. When he gets over it, I will arrange a marriage for him."

After saying that, Mrs. Ling smiled proudly. There was an almost crazy joy in that laughter.

Listening to such words, she felt chills all over her body and murmured to herself in disbelief: "Just for this, you let people drug me and my father-in-law? You are really crazy!"

Ling's laughter became more and more crazy and hysterical: "Do you think this was just my idea? Do you think I drugged Lu An? Haha... You are so naive and ridiculous."

"You don't know that since you married into the Lu family, Lu An has been keeping an eye on you with evil intentions. If it wasn't for Lu Hong, he would have attacked you long ago. The idea this time was my suggestion. , I also asked someone to drug you. As for him, it’s too late to get excited, so there is no need to drug him..."

At that moment, the world was spinning and her world collapsed in an instant.

Her expression was numb and her whole body was cold.

"You will stay in this courtyard from now on. As long as you stay calm and obedient, the child will be safe and sound. If you dare to do anything strange, I will let the child accompany you to hell!"

After Mrs. Ling finished speaking, she sneered and walked away.

The following days were nothing short of hell on earth for her.

Lu An originally felt guilty for a moment or two, but he was fascinated by her beauty. Coupled with the fresh and unethical excitement, he became extremely obsessed with her. Soon, all the beautiful and enchanting concubines were left out in the cold. Facing Ling, he became more tolerant.

In the inner house, no one is Ling's opponent.

She cried all day long and thought of death countless times. But when he thought of his young son, his thoughts of committing suicide were cut off. He gritted his teeth and endured it.

There is no airtight wall in the world. The news that Lu An had taken his daughter-in-law by force first spread slowly inside the house, and then gradually spread outside the house. However, in everyone's mouth, this matter is not due to Lu An's romantic nature, but more importantly because Lu Hong abandoned his wife and son. She stayed alone in the empty boudoir and secretly seduced her father-in-law...

Mrs. Ling hated her to the core, not only had she ruined her chastity, but also her reputation.

However, she had no way to seek help, and there was no news from Lu Hongyao. Her parents were indifferent to her plight and ignored her. The maids around him were all bribed by the Ling family, and it was impossible to send a message out.

She endured the humiliation and survived in this world, and it wasn't until the moment of her death that she finally woke up and regretted her mistake.

God took pity on her and granted her rebirth. In this life, she wants to avenge herself in her previous life and seek justice.
