Chapter 237 Compensation
A slap hit her hard on the face.
"what!"
Lin Yujiang covered her swollen cheek and looked at Sun Zhengze in despair: "This was done by your sister, not me. She was also responsible for the things that happened in Jinxiu Hall before. How could you attack me without knowing the truth?!"
Sun Zhengze had drunk some wine today, so his body was a little unsteady. The slap just now made him stagger.
He stood still, pointed at Lin Yujiang and sneered, "Hmph! Don't think I don't know. You, a rich lady, look down on me and my Sun family, so you don't care about Yi'er. If it was Lin Rouan who made the mistake today, would you remain silent?!"
Lin Yujiang looked at her husband, who she had been with for several years but was still a stranger to her, with disappointment in her eyes. She opened her mouth and said coldly: "Rou'er is smart and well-educated. She would not make such a low-level mistake."
"Snapped!"
Another slap made blood flow from the corner of Lin Yujiang's mouth.
The next second, Sun Zhengze picked up Lin Yujiang and walked into the house.
Sun Zhengze was a tall and strong man who had practiced martial arts for many years. No matter how hard Lin Yujiang struggled, she could not escape from his big hand.
Not long after, Lin Yujiang's heart-wrenching cry for mercy was heard from the house.
Nestled in her mother's arms, Sun Lingyi showed a smug smile. At this moment, the gatekeeper hurried in and said hesitantly, "Madam, the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion has sent over the compensation list and requires the mansion to send the silver within one day."
Sun's mother took the list from his hand with a cold face. After seeing the amount on it, her eyes rolled back and she almost fainted.
"Mother!" Sun Lingyi quickly supported her, glanced at the list, and suddenly her face turned pale and she exclaimed, "Five... five thousand taels?! Impossible, impossible! That Zhenguo Mansion must be bullying us. It's just a few fish, how can it be so expensive? Are these fish made of gold?!"
Mother Sun looked at the servant and asked, "When the man sent by the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion brought it here, did he bring any other words?"
The servant swallowed his saliva and spoke carefully: "The people in the Zhenguo Mansion said that this fish is a Buddha fish, one fish is worth five hundred taels of silver, and the young lady poisoned ten of them... They also said that if you don't believe it, you can send someone to the market to inquire. If the compensation is not paid on time, they will report it to the authorities."
Mother Sun twitched again, and cried loudly, "Damn it! I can't afford to pay for all this money even if I were sold. It's all that bitch's fault! Zheng'er, beat her up, beat her hard, and I'll give you a new concubine after you kill her!"
The sounds coming from inside the house gradually changed from wailing to calm.
In the dim room, Lin Yujiang fell to the ground with his eyes blank. The blood at the corner of his mouth mixed with the dust on the ground. His clothes were torn, and he looked miserable.
My ears were still ringing with the scolding of my mother-in-law outside.
Seeing that she no longer struggled or cried out in pain, Sun Zhengze suddenly felt bored. He spat on Lin Yujiang, wiped his mouth, tied his belt and walked out the door: "Alright, stop shouting, it's making me deaf. We can't afford to offend the Zhenguo Mansion. We must pay back the money."
Sun's mother's eyes were red with anger: "Return, what can we use to return it?"
"Do you want Yi'er to go to jail?"
Sun Zhengze retorted without thinking. Seeing his mother's face darken, he quickly added, "Don't worry, mother. I have my own way to deal with this matter."
At this point, this is all we can do.
Sun Lingyi heaved a sigh of relief when she heard this. She threw herself into Sun Zhengze's arms, held his hand and said coquettishly, "Yier knows that big brother loves me the most. During this period, Yier has found several talented women for big brother who are both beautiful and talented. They are much better than me."
"Oh?" Sun Zhengze became interested: "Tell me about it."
The undisguised laughter outside the house was particularly harsh.
Lin Yujiang collapsed on the ground like a dead person.
Such a short time was not enough for her body to recover from the brutality she had just suffered.
She pulled the corners of her mouth with difficulty, laughing at herself, with mixed feelings in her heart.
The scenes of today in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion flashed before his eyes, and finally stopped at the image of Yun Shuning being the center of attention.
There was a flash of jealousy in her eyes.
Why, why should she, who is also a legitimate daughter, waste her life in this Sun Mansion, while Yun Shuning has parents and brothers who love her? !
She pressed her ten fingers to the ground as if she didn't feel any pain, until her tears splashed bloody spots on the ground, then she closed her eyes with trembling.
After laughing and joking with Sun Lingyi, Sun Zhengze sneaked into a dark alley.
The wind blew through the long, narrow and dark alley. A layer of light white mist rose from the ground. In the mist there was a faint black shadow, sinking in the blurry moonlight.
Sun Zhengze stood three feet away from the shadow, bowed deeply, and said respectfully: "I believe you have heard about what happened today. Please help me. If I don't pay the compensation, my official position will be in jeopardy. I am afraid I will not be able to help you in the future. I have been obeying your orders and working hard for you all these years. I hope you can help me."
After saying this, he fell to the ground, knelt down at the feet of the man in black, lowered his head, and looked extremely humble.
The man in black glared at him coldly and said, "Why should the master help you? If you can't get this position, there are plenty of people waiting to do it."
"This, this..." Sun Zhengze choked and couldn't answer a word for a while.
"Humph."
The man in black sneered at him, took out a silver note from his pocket and threw it on the ground: "This is the last time. If there is a next time, this will be your life money."
Sun Zhengze prostrated himself on the ground, holding the banknote tightly in both hands, and thanked him profusely, "Yes, thank you very much, sir. Thank you very much, sir."
The black shadow dissipated, and in the condensed mist, there was faint hatred and murderous intent escaping from between the teeth.
"Zhenguogong Mansion... We will definitely not let you take this money for nothing!"
……
The morning light gradually rises.
The warm winter sun rises from the distant sky, connecting with the distant mountains, reflecting a golden color.
While dressing Yun Shuning, Lian'er said cheerfully, "Miss, the weather is nice today. Do you want to go for a walk in the yard? I just saw the second young master practicing martial arts over there. His moves were so fierce that they frightened me."
"Practicing martial arts?" Yun Shuning immediately became interested: "Then I really have to go and take a look. By the way, has the Sun family sent the money?"
"It has been delivered. It was delivered this morning without missing a cent. They also brought an extra Buddha statue, saying it was a gift for the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. But I remember that Madam Sun clearly took the gift at the family recognition banquet that day. I don't know why they sent another one?"
