Poor family farming: the sick and weak scholar's wife is very sturdy

Chapter 233 The Mad Woman

Lin Xiao quickly snatched the pillow from Chen Yun's hand and handed it to the woman:

"Aunt Liu, here, I found your son for you!"

I thought that the woman would continue to treat the pillow as her son, but who would have thought that the woman would give Lin Xiao an angrily look, and said angrily:
"This is a pillow! Do you think I'm a three-year-old? You lied to me!"

A look of embarrassment appeared on Lin Xiao's face, and he lowered his head, not daring to make a sound.

"Where's my son?!"

"Where's my son?!"

The woman cried again, grabbed the pillow, and beat it hard.

"Aunt Liu, I"

Lin Xiao hesitated to speak, not knowing what to do.

"What are you? Tell me! Tell me, where is my son?"

the woman growled.

Aqiu on the side quickly grabbed the woman's arm, and softly comforted her:
"Aunt Liu, don't be in a hurry, be hungry, I'll cook something delicious for you, you'll have the strength to go find it when you're full!"

The woman was startled when she heard the words, then nodded again and again, looking at Ah Qiu eagerly:

"Hurry up, get me something to eat, I'm hungry!"

"okay!"

Ah Qiu responded with a smile while briefly bandaging the woman's injured forehead, and then went to work in the simple kitchen.

The woman acted as if nothing had happened, treating the pillow as her own child, humming a lullaby as she patted it to sleep, and from time to time she smiled apologetically at Lin Xiao and Chen Yun.

It seemed that the only witness was so crazy that even if she was brought to Beijing, she would not be able to identify anything.

Fortunately, when the woman went crazy just now, Lin Xiao had already got some useful information. He just needs to find a way to confirm it when he returns to the capital!
After a while, Ah Qiu used some of the food he brought to make some multigrain cakes. The woman ate them with great relish, and warmly invited Lin Xiao and Chen Yun to eat them together.

Seeing the woman wolfing down her food, Lin Xiao became more determined not to bring her back to the capital as a witness.

Before leaving, Lin Xiao gave Aqiu two ingots of silver to spare him

Go to the medical clinic in the city and ask the doctor to show it to the woman.

On the way back to the capital.

Lin Xiao sat in the carriage, looking at the green scene passing by outside the window, with mixed emotions in his heart.

Along the way, Lin Xiao fell into silence.

Seeing this, Chen Yun didn't dare to say much, so he could only quietly guard Lin Xiao.

The carriage was galloping along the official road.

"Mr. Lin, we are almost in the capital. Should we go back to the other courtyard or Mr. Chen's tavern?"

The coachman's voice sounded from outside the carriage.

Lin Xiao returned to his senses, nodded slightly, and said lightly:
"Go to Jin Sanniang's grain and oil store. I haven't been there for a long time."

"Yes!"

The coachman replied, driving the carriage slowly.

There was silence in the carriage again.

After a long time, Chen Yun spoke first:

"Brother Lin, why didn't you bring Aunt Liu back to identify them?"

"Let's not talk about whether those young masters are the children of Liu's big head, just talk about Aunt Liu's madness, do you think the emperor will believe it?"

Hearing this, Chen Yun pondered for a moment, then shook his head.

Seeing this, Lin Xiao continued:
"What we have to do now is to find ways to collect as much evidence as possible. Only in this way can the members of the Chen family not accuse themselves!"

Chen Yun nodded and agreed.

Immediately, the compartment became quiet again.

After a while, the carriage stopped outside the grain and oil store. Lin Xiao lifted the curtain and jumped out of the carriage first, followed by Chen Yun.

When Jin Sanniang saw Lin Xiao, she immediately ran over shaking her fan:

"Oh, isn't this my God of Wealth, Brother Lin, why are you interested in coming over to me today?"

Lin Xiao smiled slightly:
"Sister Jin, you made fun of me again."

Seeing this, Jin Sanniang waved her hands again and again, then turned her head and told the guy behind her:

"Go, take out my newly developed sweet-scented osmanthus brew and give it to my little brother to taste!"

"Yes, Master Jin!"

The man took orders to leave.

Lin Xiao looked at Jin Sanniang in front of him, smiled and said:

"Sister Jin, to be honest, I came to see you today because I have business to do. I don't have time to drink sweet-scented osmanthus wine. How about another day?"

Seeing that Lin Xiao didn't want to drink the sweet-scented osmanthus wine she brewed, Jin Sanniang felt a little regretful, but she didn't force her. She nodded and changed the subject and asked:
"what's up?"

"I'd like to have some gossip with you."

Lin Xiao lowered his volume and said mysteriously:

"Do you know the Chen family in the capital?"

Hearing the words "Chen's family", Jin Sanniang's face immediately changed.

She looked at Lin Xiao with deep thought in her eyes.

After a while, Jin Sanniang calmed down and smiled faintly:
"Brother Lin, why did you suddenly ask about the Chen family? Could it be that you have heard about some scandals about the Chen family? Or what did the Chen family do to you?"

Lin Xiao coughed lightly, shook his head, and denied:

"Not really, just yesterday, while drinking in the Chen's Tavern, I happened to overhear two people talking about the little secrets of the Chen family, so I came here to ask you, who is my sister Jin who is the most informed in the capital? !"

After finishing speaking, Lin Xiao winked mischievously at Jin Sanniang with a pleasing face.

Jin Sanniang was amused by Lin Xiao, covered her mouth and smiled coquettishly, then reached out and patted Lin Xiao's shoulder:

"What's the secret?"

Lin Xiao looked around vigilantly, then pushed Chen Yun who was standing aside:

"Brother Chen, tell me."

"Is such that……"

Chen Yun told Jin Sanniang everything about those Chen family sons and brothers.

After listening to Chen Yun's narration, Jin Sanniang's face changed drastically, and she quickly asked the shop assistant to take care of the shop, while she took Lin Xiao and Chen Yun to the inner hall.

Behind most of the shops in the Great Xia Dynasty is the owner's house or courtyard.

Jin Sanniang took Lin Xiao and Chen Yun to her house.

After entering the house, Lin Xiao carefully looked at the environment inside the house, and saw that the decoration style of the house was very simple and elegant, and it looked very old-fashioned.

After pouring tea for Lin Xiao and Chen Yun, she sat down and said solemnly:
"You two are so courageous! Even if the secret is true, so what?! How dare you directly oppose the Chen family? Isn't this an egg hitting a rock! You don't want to die?!"

Jin Sanniang's tone was quite serious, obviously angry.

"Sister Jin, don't be angry! I'm just curious!"

Lin Xiao said with a smile.

"I'm worried about you!"

Jin Sanniang glared at Lin Xiao, then looked at Chen Yun:
"Brother Chen, why are you so confused? Brother Lin, I am not from the capital, so I am not familiar with those big families, but you have lived in the capital since you were a child, so you should know more about the power of those families than Brother Lin!"

Being reprimanded for no reason, Chen Yun was not annoyed, but scratched his head in embarrassment:
"Sister Jin's lesson is that it's all because my younger brother is ignorant, which made Sister Jin bother."

"That's all!"

Jin Sanniang waved her hands, sighed again, and said helplessly:
"Since you all want to know the truth of this matter, I will tell you everything I know, and let it go like a fart after listening to it, and don't mention it again!"

Lin Xiao and Chen Yun quickly agreed.
