After the vicious adoptive mother gave up, the scumbag children regretted it

Chapter 328 Yang Lingzhao’s Showdown

Yang Lingyu originally planned to deal with household chores after Shen Nanzhi left, but he didn't expect his third brother to jump out impatiently. He sneered, "Isn't she just a Lin? What's the matter? Do you expect your parents and brothers to stay by her side and take care of her? Is she worthy of that?"

Yang Lingzhao's expression became even uglier: "Second brother, what do you mean by this? She is also my wife, your sister-in-law, are you so cold-blooded?"

"I don't dare to have a brother-in-law like this. If you insist on bringing this up to disgust everyone, then I won't choose a time. Today, let's talk about this Lin. You know her identity better than anyone else. Do you dare to explain it to our father and mother?"

Yang Lingzhao was a little panicked, but he was not afraid. At most, he would just confess. "What identity? You just can't stand seeing us live well. There is nothing shameful about the Lin family. I just like her. What's it to you?"

Shen Nanzhi coughed and said, "Since you guys want to deal with household chores, then Lord Zhou and I should avoid suspicion first? Let's go first."

Prefect Yang was so angry. It was a rare opportunity for Imperial Envoy Zhou to come, and this was such a rare chance to curry favor with him, but it was ruined by this rebellious son.

He was quite sensible before, why did he suddenly act stupid again?

"That's enough. Go down first. We can talk about it tomorrow. Don't let the guests see us failing to educate our children."

"I don't want it. My father is biased. I have to make it clear today. Don't say that family disgrace should not be made public. You are the ones who bullied me. I am not afraid of being embarrassed if you can do it."

Is Yang Lingzhao crazy?

It seems that he really loves Lin Xueqing.

Shen Nanzhi was in the mood and wanted to die, so I had to oblige him. "Then tell me. Lord Zhou is here to help you get justice."

Imperial Envoy Zhou had no choice but to say, "If you trust me, Third Young Master, I will help you make the decision."

"Thank you, Lord Zhou. Lin is seriously ill and needs a 500-year-old ginseng. I remember there was one in my mother's dowry. I wanted her to give it to Lin, but she refused. Did she want to watch Lin die?"

Mrs. Chen was so angry that her heart ached: "What kind of magic potion did Lin give you to drink that you insisted on taking away the ginseng that saved your mother's life?

You don't believe that your parents are so old, if one day they can't get up and need this ginseng to save their lives, you will give it to Lin, can you bear to watch your parents die?"

"You can buy more ginseng, but she can't wait. She can't die. If she dies, her son will lose everything. I just want the ginseng."

Shen Nanzhi held his forehead with his hand. Isn't this just like the child who couldn't get any candy? Mrs. Chen will have to pay for spoiling her child.

Madam Chen said, "Ginseng of this vintage costs several thousand taels of silver. It is the dowry your grandfather left for me. It has a different meaning. Where can I buy it?"

Shen Nanzhi suddenly had an idea and remembered something. With so much land in her space, why couldn't she grow ginseng?

What makes ginseng valuable is its age. The flow of time in the space is ten times faster than outside. The ginseng planted inside only needs one year to grow, while it is equivalent to ten years of growth outside.

If it grows for ten years, that's a hundred years. A hundred-year-old ginseng is hard to come by, and one plant costs thousands of taels of silver. Isn't this more profitable than growing anything else?

Other medicinal herbs can also be grown. Shen Nanzhi felt that he had found a way to make a fortune, so he went back and started growing medicinal herbs.

They argued for a while, and Yang Lingzhao couldn't help but tell the truth: "Xueqing's identity is not ordinary. If she died in our house, the whole family would be implicated."

"Why is she extraordinary? Isn't she just the daughter of a landlord, a country girl raised on a farm? She has no education at all, and is not even worthy of being a maid in our family."

Yang Lingzhao said: "No, she is the illegitimate daughter of Duke Shen's Mansion, otherwise how could I marry her?"

"what?"

He finally said it, and Magistrate Yang and his wife were shocked. Yang Yuyue and the others looked calm, and some even waited for him to continue.

Imperial Envoy Zhou smiled and said, "Third Young Master, you can't say that casually. Who doesn't know that Duke Shen and Princess Anguo have a deep love for each other?

If there is an illegitimate daughter, can Princess Anguo tolerate her?

Not to mention that this is a slander against the Duke's character, and you must be held responsible. You are the one who dragged the entire Yang family into this."

Yang Lingzhao: "She has a token, and she also has the retainers of Lord Shen. Those retainers are here to protect her. This matter must not be told to others, so I have been hiding it.

Now people are dying, and I can’t care about it anymore.”

Shen Nanzhi couldn't help but ask, "The retainer you're talking about is Jiang Chen, right? What kind of retainer is he? A scholar who was stripped of his title, a despicable person, insidious and cunning. Yang Lingzhao, have you ever thought that you've been deceived?"

"This is impossible."

"Ah, it's impossible or you just don't want to believe it. You have always been very clear about Lin's identity. She was born and raised in Shimo Village. She behaved improperly and was Jiang Chen's concubine. The village couldn't tolerate them, so they left home to seek another way to make a living.

If they met a fool like you, they would definitely catch you. As for the jade pendant, maybe it is a replica? After all, no one has seen the real one, and the Shen family has never told anyone that they have such a daughter. "

Yang Lingzhao felt as if struck by lightning. What he had believed in for a long time was shattered. He knew Lin Xueqing's identity, but Jiang Chen and the others produced a lot of evidence, forcing Yang Lingzhao to believe it.

"This jade pendant is worth a fortune. It's obviously a royal item. How could it be a fake?"

Yang Lingzhao took out the jade pendant. Zhou said, "Let me see it. I have also seen things bestowed by the emperor."

"it is good."

Zhou Qinchai took it and looked at it carefully. Shen Nanzhi, who was sitting next to him, took the opportunity to take a look as well. His expression suddenly changed. In his memory, the original owner did have such a jade pendant, but she had never taken it out and kept it under the box. No one had ever seen it.

Jiang’s mother couldn’t even be found, so where did Lin Xueqing find it from?

Is it her luck?

"Mr. Zhou, how is it?"

Yang Lingzhao was nervous. Now he had no choice but to go down the wrong path, otherwise he would be a fool who was cheated badly.

Zhou Qinchao said: "It is indeed valuable, and it is also a high-quality mutton-fat jade pendant that only the royal family can afford, but the carving pattern does not look like the style of Duke Shen.

Duke Shen is a military commander, but the jade pendant is carved with a lotus, which doesn’t fit his status as a military commander.”

"Maybe Lin's mother gave it to her?"

"It's even more impossible. If Lin's biological mother is of noble status, then she can't be an illegitimate daughter. Can't she marry Duke Shen as his principal wife?

It must be because of her humble status that she is not worthy of being accepted into the upper class, and also because Duke Shen is going to marry Princess Anguo, so he has to be kept outside.

Mr. Yang, to be honest, you don't understand the rules of a wealthy family. This illegitimate daughter can only be a member of the Shen family after being acknowledged by Princess Anguo. If the mistress refuses to acknowledge her, she will be an illegitimate daughter for the rest of her life.

There are many illegitimate sons and daughters in the capital, but very few of them can marry into the family and be recorded in the family tree.

Sometimes blood ties don’t represent everything. The more noble one’s status is, the more they live for face, and the less likely they are to admit something that damages their personal morality.”
