Rebirth of the Marquis' Di Daughter

CHAPTER 10: Lin Shì's counterattacks

          Returning to Lin Shì's own dwelling in fú ruì yuàn, still have not waited for the growing ashen look of Ouyang Zhi, Wang mā ma just a short while ago in the room had already managed to order all the maidservants and their daughter-in-laws to go out of the house, Lin Shì knelt down facing him with a 'thud' sound, the look so determined: "Lǎo ye, today all is my mistake, provoked and got Lǎo Tài Tai angry!"

          Ouyang Zhi unable to deal, with Ouyang Ke also at the scene, loudly shouted and coldly said: " You also knew your mistake, during the day did not restrict the servants, now what use there is to say these!"

          As Lin Shì's tears rushed forth, in a sad voice said: "Zhi láng, nevertheless you allowed me to distinguish!" Voice distressed.

          Ouyang Zhi lightly shook, gaze still full of hate: "You have anything good to distinguish, don't tell me the matter that the servant in Jue er's courtyard overturned the heavens was unfair to you still not finished!" At the moment, thinking back and standing up, that day Jue er was in the garden when the matter occurred, Lin Shì really might not be able to escape responsibility!

          Lin Shì lightly wiped clean the tears on her eyes, mournfully said: "Lǎo Tài Tai manages work, I am not at all daring to offer an opinion, I also may be allowed to speak the rights and wrongs of a matter! A few years ago when I just entered the door, in the residence the yā tou and pó zi already indistinctly talking about it, saying I am this shù nǚ who replaced her older sister, taking possession of the position originally belongs to her. Jue er does not know from where he heard these talk, always indifferent and cold towards me. I thought this was just a few ignorant servants gossip, Jue er is also a child, once he grows up, naturally be able to realize my painstaking effort, then not dared to bother Lǎo ye with the trivial matters. Secretly endured, always thinks clear to purify oneself, not a long time will pass and rumors will always be dispersed, certainly have not thought...... Didn't expect, Lǎo ye unexpectedly doubted me too!"

          Saying that soon afterward rolls a bead like tears until unable to stop crying, snowy jade-like finger wiped over the cheek, with deep sorrow mournfully said: "Lǎo ye, Jue er's heart long ago already blamed it upon me this stepmother, I did much more for him but all think is not having good intentions. That year I boiled three nights for him to make two shoes, he was all of a sudden got thrown into the lake, Lǎo Tài Tai known afterward scolded and ordered me later to stop taking care of his things. I, from then on did not dare managed sōng zhú yuàn, so as to not make Jue er misunderstand me, this stepmother having an ulterior motive! Who would have thought that those vile people seized the opportunity to cause trouble, the courtyard thrown into disorder, that Xin mā ma is been with the family for more than ten years as lǎo rén, also older sister personally set aside for Jue er, I thought she will also felt reassured handing over her the courtyard, who would have known she unexpectedly also indulged and helped those servants who have broken the rules, out of the matter all will be blamed on me."

          Lin Shì said once again whimpered and cried.

          "Even so, are you out of your fault at all?" Ouyang Zhi coldly snorted, but in his voice, it did not have that dreadful anger.

          Lin Shì crawled forward on her knees a few paces, crawls before his body, the beautiful face is full of tears. Choked with sobs, slowly complains and said: "If I say that there is no mistake, that is also not so; I fear the relationship with Jue er will be stiffer, not dare to take matters at hand. If I can be cruel-hearted in the management of the residence, then maybe today will not have these matter..... I am merely afraid by people saying that I, this stepmother, is pointing fingers and meddling in the business of her stepson's courtyard, nothing more. I am wrong, but if said that I have a mind to tolerate the servant to injure Jue er, then I am just like King Yama there is also no complying! I am after all his own maternal aunt, doesn't have the least bit of sincerity?"
