Chapter 1029: The Merchant Girl Who Met the Wrong Man (5)
Mu Yunmeng shook her head, "No! I've been isolated by those embroiderers, and they don't want me to stay in the embroidery workshop!"
"Ah? How could this happen?" Zhou Yan was dumbfounded.
"They saw us talking at noon, and they became jealous of me. They tried to say bad things about me in front of Master Lin, which led to me being kicked out!" Mu Yunmeng threw dirty water on the embroiderers.
"Well, are you planning to move to my house?" Zhou Yan asked hesitantly.
"Yes! Brother Zhou Yan, I have nowhere to go now, you have to take me in!" Mu Yunmeng said with a pout.
"But, I remember you have a cousin, right?" Zhou Yan said immediately.
He knows what's going on.
It was already difficult for him and his mother to depend on each other, and if there was one more person, it would probably make the situation even worse.
"Well, but I don't dare to go! My aunt has always wanted me to be my cousin's concubine."
Mu Yunmeng choked up and said aggrievedly, "If I go over there, it will be like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth. I don't know what kind of torture I will become."
"But……"
"Brother Zhou Yan, I know what you are worried about! You are worried that I will lose my job at the embroidery workshop, right? I can buy fabrics and needles to do embroidery!"
She interrupted him quickly, "My embroidery is one of the best among those embroiderers. Besides, with me here, I will help you gain the favor of the Lin family, right?"
Zhou Yan's brows relaxed slightly, "Then how do you plan to help me gain the favor of the Lin family?"
Mu Yunmeng frowned, "Mr. Lin will often go to the embroidery workshop to check on the progress recently. I will ask my cousin to act out a play with you..."
After hearing Mu Yunmeng talking about her plan, Zhou Yan finally nodded.
He held Mu Yunmeng's hand tenderly, "Okay, then you can stay here for a while! But my family is poor, I'm sorry to have to let you down!"
Su Li, who was invisible not far away, sneered.
Once Mu Yunmeng was kicked out of the embroidery workshop, she would no longer have any way of knowing anything about the Lin family.
How could he come up with such a stupid idea?
Did she really think that the Lin family were all fools who couldn't even afford a guard or servant?
It’s just right, let Father Lin take a look at these jumping clowns!
the next morning.
Father Lin planned to go to his Lin’s Embroidery Workshop again.
Su Li reminded him, "Dad, things are not peaceful outside recently. You'd better take a few servants with you before going out."
Father Lin immediately thought it made a lot of sense.
He asked the butler to find a few people to stay by his side, and Su Li took the opportunity to replace one of the servants and transformed into his appearance.
Sure enough, it was on the road leading to the embroidery workshop.
Several burly men with their faces covered jumped out.
The leader held a big knife and shouted, "I opened this mountain and planted this tree. If you want to pass through here, you have to leave money to buy your way through!"
Father Lin opened the curtain door and said, "Everyone, this is the main street. There are no mountains or trees here."
The implication is self-evident.
The people hiding on the side of the road watching the excitement burst into laughter. "That's right, these people are not fools, right? They want to rob people in broad daylight on the street?"
Su Li glanced at the distance.
Zhou Yan rushed out.
He pointed at the masked men and said, "In broad daylight, in the open, yet they are so arrogant! How despicable!"
He looked at Father Lin in the sedan chair and said, "Master Lin, I am Zhou Yan. You go first, and I can leave these people to you!"
Su Li sneered.
If she remembered correctly, Mu Yunmeng was planning to use a torture trick on him yesterday.
The next second, the leading man laughed arrogantly, "A mere scholar dares to stop us? This is ridiculous! Beat him up!"
So, several people went up and started beating and kicking Zhou Yan.
Father Lin was about to ask the servant to stop him, but for some reason he was unable to speak.
By the time he was able to speak, Zhou Yan had already been beaten to a bloody mess.
"Catch them quickly and hand them over to the authorities!" Master Lin ordered.
Su Li immediately stepped forward and swung his fists at the big men.
After a while, several big men fell to the ground and begged for mercy.
"Tell me, who told you to stop my master's sedan chair in broad daylight!"
The big men didn't want to say anything, so Su Li beat them up again.
The way she used her spiritual power to attack people was extremely special. It would not leave any obvious scars, but would make them feel worse than death.
Sure enough, one of the big guys couldn't stand it anymore.
He begged for mercy, "I said, I said, it was this scholar who invited us! He wanted to win the favor of Master Lin, so he came up with this idea."
"Yes, yes, yes. He said this was a self-torture tactic. Then Master Lin will definitely look at him differently!"
"What!" Father Lin frowned.
He looked at Zhou Yan, whose face was bruised and swollen, and asked, "Why did you do this?"
Zhou Yan quickly shook his head, "I didn't, I really didn't! They are talking nonsense!"
Father Lin looked at the people who were being beaten and screaming, "Go away! I don't want to see you again!"
Upon hearing this, several big men got up from the ground and ran away without paying any attention to Zhou Yan.
Su Li watched Mu Yunmeng's cousin leave, planning to come back and deal with him later.
Father Lin got off the sedan chair and came to Zhou Yan. "I thought you were just a scholar, how could you have the courage to stand up to those bullies? It turns out you have ulterior motives! Tell me, why did you use this self-torture trick?"
"Yes, speak quickly!" Su Li patted him and gave him a mantra.
Zhou Yan, who was under the spell of truth, really began to reveal the truth, "I heard that Master Lin was planning to find a husband for Miss Lin, and I wanted Master Lin to favor me and sponsor me to go to the capital to take the imperial examination."
"If you want my financial support, you can just come to me and tell me. I will definitely help you if I can! Why do you use such despicable means?" Father Lin frowned.
"I not only want Mr. Lin to support me, but I also want to get the Lin family's property and marry Meng'er."
Zhou Yan said directly, "Our plan is to get you to favor me first, so that I can get engaged to Miss Lin. Then we can get rid of you, destroy Miss Lin's innocence, and make her a concubine. Then I can get the Lin family and marry Meng'er."
"What a vicious plan!"
Father Lin shouted, "Who is the Meng'er you are talking about? Is it Mu Yunmeng?"
"That's right!" Zhou Yan said bluntly.
"You, you guys!" Father Lin's face turned red with anger.
He shouted, "Come here, break his legs for me! I will compensate the Zhou family for his medical expenses later!"
"Yes!"
Su Li and the servants stepped forward, picked up sticks and hit his legs hard.
Zhou Yan let out a shrill scream.
Unfortunately, no one sympathized with him.
What he just said was heard by the people watching the fun.
They had received a lot of favors from the Lin family on a daily basis, so naturally they looked down on Zhou Yan's calculations.
"Mr. Lin is such a kind-hearted person, but this Zhou Yan actually wants to wipe out his entire family!"
"That's right. My son didn't have money to treat his illness, so it was Master Lin who found a doctor to see him. Such a good person was actually tricked like this!"
"Kill him, kill him!"
A group of people threw vegetable leaves and rotten eggs at Zhou Yan.
