Rise from a Low-class Family to Martial Artist-Chapter 239 - 69: Lin Chaoyang Purges His Family (Part 4)
This woman cannot stay!
He Ruyun left with the clan leaders of the government office and major families. Su Lingchuan turned to look at Zeng Qingyao, who nodded and led several hall masters towards the lakeside of Linhu Village.
When they had just arrived, they saw a few figures quietly leaving.
Earlier, they were worried about the situation here, so they didn’t pursue them. Now that there were no more issues here, those people were most likely sent by the ones behind the scenes, and they couldn’t let them escape.
...
...
"Chaoyang, why did you have to do this? Just leave it to those officials to handle."
After all outsiders had left, Zhao Canghe supported Lin Chaoyang, who looked utterly aged at this moment: "It was the Lin Family that produced a traitor. I’m sorry to everyone. Naturally, it’s my duty to cleanse our house."
Ever since his eldest daughter-in-law informed him of Lin Ming’s plan yesterday, he had been completely disappointed in Lin Ming. This child was beyond help.
He was being used without knowing it. Lin Chen, he understood, if Lin Chen knew about this, he would definitely rush back. Rather than letting Lin Chen bear the stigma of killing his brother, it was better for him as the grandfather to be the villain.
Lin Ming must die. To stall this mother and son, he pretended to cooperate, but also, when the eldest daughter-in-law wasn’t paying attention, he passed a note to his young granddaughter who came to see him. If things changed, the second and third sons who saw the note could prove Lin Chen’s innocence.
This is also why, even though things got so intense today, no one from the families of the second and third siblings came out.
They didn’t need to witness such family slaughter.
"Hey, your eldest daughter-in-law?" Zhao Canghe asked in a low voice.
Lin Chaoyang glanced at his eldest daughter-in-law: "A person who betrays the family like this, let her sink into the lake."
"Alright, Chaoyang, you go back and get some rest. I’ll handle things here."
Zhao Canghe wasn’t surprised. If Lin Chaoyang could show no mercy to his most beloved grandson, he naturally wouldn’t spare his eldest daughter-in-law either.
Such a venomous woman, indeed, she cannot remain!
...
...
Lin Family Ancestral Residence.
Lin Chen’s second uncle’s family, along with Father Lin and Mrs. Lin, watched as they quickly moved to support their father, who dragged his weary body.
The events at the village entrance had already been reported to them by villagers, and with the note Xi’Er passed yesterday, the two families weren’t all that shocked.
"Dad, the eldest sister-in-law and Ming’Er brought this upon themselves. Please don’t blame yourself. Eldest brother will surely understand when he returns."
"Second son, let’s not talk about this anymore. A few days ago, I asked the villagers to go to the tailor shop in town to make a suit of clothes for me. Considering the time, it should be ready. Go to town and fetch it for me."
"New clothes?"
Second Uncle Lin He was surprised that his father would mention new clothes at this time, but he still nodded in agreement.
"Everyone, go back. Let me be alone in the old residence. Liang, you help me inside."
The old man truly couldn’t walk anymore. His eyes turned to Lin Liang, filled with expectation. Lin Liang hesitated for a long time, and just as the old man’s eyes were turning disappointed, he finally stepped forward to support the old man’s hand.
"Good, very good."
Feeling the warmth from his grandson’s hand, the old man’s face showed a smile.
...
...
Three two-hour periods later.
It was night!
In a new suit, Lin Chaoyang sat in an ancient master’s chair in the main hall of the ancestral residence. Lin Liang held the old man’s left hand, Lin Hui held the old man’s right hand, and the young granddaughter Lin Xi nestled between the old man’s knees.
The old man’s face carried a smile, but there was a hint of regret in his eyes.
A quarter of an hour later, cries emerged from the Lin Family Ancestral Residence.
...
...
At the Special Training Ground, Lin Chen gazed at the sky, wondering why he felt so uneasy while practicing martial arts today.
