Transmigration Of An Assassin

Satisfied

The Lin family was furious yet helpless in the situation. Old Man Lin, a proud Xiucai, was unwilling to argue with someone he saw as inferior because it would make him look bad, but Old Lady Lin was different. She and Old Lady Liu were childhood friends, but because Old Lady Liu was more attractive than she was, she grew envious and made Old Lady Liu into an enemy.

Even Old Xiucai Lin had fallen head over heels in love with Old Lady Liu and desired to wed her, but sadly he was rejected since she loved Old Man Liu. Old Xiucai Lin was determined to pursue her and persuade her, but before he could, Old Lady Lin deceived him into her bed and later changed her identity to Madam Lin.

Old Man Lin became a Xiucai because he was so smart, so he immediately noticed that he was tricked. He married her to protect his reputation because he was a scholar at that time, but he never gave her genuine affection. After she gave birth to two daughters and a son for him, Old Man Lin became less cold and treated her like his wife out of respect and love for his children, but in her heart, she knew that he had never forgotten about Old Lady Liu.

Old Man Lin was arrogant but he wasn't an evil person, he reached a deal with Xie Zhu because he knew she would've divorced Liu Hong sooner or later, plus she was even thinking of selling her daughters so out of all the people in the village he chose her because she didn't care about family relations. 

He was really unhappy to learn about the twins' accomplishments. He thought about all the struggles he had gone through to eventually accomplish and felt like the girls had done nothing but succeeded. But eventually, he became calm and reminded himself not to be greedy, remembering the teachings of his master. He even went so far as to warn his wife, his son, and his daughter-in-law. She was even more unhappy when her husband forewarned her, so she made the decision to take matters into her own hands.

Old Lady Lin always regarded herself as a noble, and as such, she behaved accordingly. She hosted a gathering for the village wives the following day. All of the wives were aware that they had to go in order to avoid upsetting her. Old Lady Liu didn't even care and came because of their previous connection.

When Old Lady Liu arrived, she observed Old Lady Lin and Old Lady Wen, the wife of Old Man Wen, a modest trader who nonetheless earned quite a bit of money, laughing together. She figured they were purposefully ignoring her, but she didn't want to fawn on anyone so she coughed to let them know she was there. Finally, the two turned their heads, a sneer on their lips, ready to make fun of Old Lady Liu, but they were frozen in place.

An embroidered design of begonia flowers could be seen on the old lady's blue lotus hanfu. Two silver hairpins held her hair in a cobra bun. She wore a set of gold earrings and two bracelets made of silver. Begonia flowers were embroidered on both her shoes and the clothing she was wearing. Old Lady Liu never had a difficult life despite being over forty because her husband, Old Man Liu, was a successful carpenter. She scarcely had wrinkles, though her skin had begun to become a little rough. And it even seemed like her skin had gotten better.

Old Lady Lin and Old Lady Wen were shocked to see their old friend like this. They both were waiting to humiliate her but got humiliated instead. Old Lady Liu didn't have to say anything, her clothes spoke for themselves. The wives couldn't help but look at Old Lady Liu in a different light, for her to be able to directly crush somebody's pride like that. 

Old Lady Lin was ashamed of what had happened and spent the entire week inside her home. When she attempted to anger Old Man Lin but failed terribly, she was scolded. Xie Zhu attempted to start a commotion as well, but her father-in-law stopped her. As a result, the twins' lives were pleasant and they were getting richer by the day.
