A few days later, Du Shengping was promoted to a higher position without any surprise, and another happy event was that Du Zhilan woke up.

But the eldest lady was so happy that she burst into tears, and she was even more interested in the banquet prepared for Du Shengping to celebrate his promotion.

However, Du Zhilan was in coma for nearly a month. She could only feed her some simple water and rice all day long, and she was always hung up with wild ginseng. She was already extremely thin.

Now when she wakes up, she always feels dizzy and nauseated. What's worse is that she has completely forgotten why she was attacked.

The doctor said that this is a self-protection mechanism of human beings. They subconsciously forget the tragic scene when the head was hit hard. As for whether they will remember it one day, no one can say.

Du Ruolan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

***

Unsurprisingly, the person who came to congratulate Du Shengping was Si Sheng, the general envoy. Du Heng estimated that he had already begun to work in the official department to seek a higher official position for his eldest son Sheng Ruchi;

Du Heng had a good impression of this "little uncle". The Sheng family was an aristocratic family, and Sheng Ruchi was also an elegant scholar. He and his little aunt fell in love at first sight. During the Qingming Festival, they happened to recite to the same willow tree.

Sheng Ruchi had no interest in being an official. He had been looking for an official position in Honglu Temple. Before anything happened to the Lin family, he and Lin Ling were at odds with each other, and many people envied him.

Not only that, Du Heng also met unexpected people: his aunt Lin Ling and Sheng Ruchi's cousin Sheng Yu.

Sheng Ruchi wanted to take his daughter-in-law out to relax, but since Sheng Yu's "fiancée" was already awake, it would be unreasonable for her not to come to the house again.

When I heard about Du Zhilan's amnesia, she even tried to comfort her "future father-in-law and mother-in-law" in a loving way, and I was naturally very happy.

Du Heng looked at his little aunt's emaciated appearance from a distance, and felt extremely distressed:

She could not honor the Lin family openly, so she could only wear a simple plain dress with only a silver hairpin on her head.

The thin neck is like a fragile reed that cannot withstand the beating of any wave;

The thin shoulders make the clothes look extra large. Viewed from the back, the thin shoulder blades are clearly visible, like a butterfly trying to fly after being caught in the rain.

She didn't even bring a maid.

Du Heng wanted to hug her, draw strength from her, and convey strength to her.

Most of their relatives have been buried in the underworld. The bone-chilling temperature that separates life and death is an unbearable pain in their hearts that neither of them wants to touch easily.

But Du Heng couldn't do anything, not even talk to her about what was in his heart.

But Du Heng thought that it would be better to find another way.

She went to Du Zhilan's place. Sheng Ruchi's mother, Sheng Ruchi's wife, was also familiar with the Du family's eldest wife, so it was natural that she should come and see Du Zhilan.

While they were still chatting in the main hall, Du Heng came to Du Zhilan's residence.

Since she woke up, the maids and women inside were not as present as before, but she often fell asleep.

There was only a little girl on duty inside, and while she was changing the water, Du Heng used Qinggong and found a suitable place to hide.

Lin Zhijun is a martial arts practitioner, so after she became Du Heng, she also exercised her body bit by bit and picked up her martial arts skills.

Although she is not at the level of a master, she is more than capable of protecting herself, and she has been dedicated to practicing Qing Gong well.

Just as they were thinking, Mrs. Du and Mrs. Sheng walked in together. Mrs. Du touched Du Zhilan's temples lovingly, wiped her eyes with a handkerchief, and said, "My poor son."

Mrs. Sheng was very moved when she saw this, and she couldn't help crying.

Looking further, the movement would have woken up Du Zhilan, and the two of them quickly moved outside to talk.

"Sister Du, don't you think Zhilan's child has also woken up? I would say she is blessed with great fortune and good fortune. By the way, does Zhilan still remember the murderer of that child?"

Mrs. Du shook her head bitterly.

"Alas," Mrs. Sheng sighed: "If Zhi Lan were older and matched my unsatisfactory Chi'er, how could she be doing what she is doing today?"

Du Heng pricked up his ears. The time for caring for others was over, and it was time for Mrs. Sheng to pour out her bitterness.

Moreover, Du Heng also urgently needed to know from others whether his little aunt was doing well or not.

Mrs. Du has a face that doesn't show off, so what does Sheng Yu mean?

Back then, Du Shengping's official position was not as high as that of the Sheng family, so he only gave his eldest daughter to Sheng Yu. Now that they are on equal terms, who doesn't know how to say polite words?

But Mrs. Du is not stupid: "Who says it isn't? I can only blame my son for being unlucky! But fortunately, our two families are still related by marriage!"

The conversation changed with a hint of sarcasm: "Now that the Lin family has been convicted, Chi'er still treats the Lin daughter as before?"

"No," Mrs. Sheng flicked the veil irritably.

"The more I tried to persuade Chi'er to stay away from Lin's daughter and just feed her with good food and drink, Chi'er refused to listen and tried every means to please his wife. He has never treated me like this.

I’ve been so considerate!”

Sheng Ruchi is pretty good, Du Heng thought.

"It's simple, can't you just take a concubine for Chi'er?" Mrs. Du came up with an idea.

"Why haven't I thought about it? Long before the Lin family fell into sin, Chi'er's love for her was so frightening. He didn't even look at the beauty I deliberately arranged;

Now he is even more stunned, saying that his wife has been greatly wronged, and he wishes he could guard his wife every day, for fear that I would set rules for her;

They even made a rule that except for the one who serves Lin's daughter, there is no more mother in the yard between the couple! Tell me if this makes me mad!"

After hearing this, Mrs. Du felt a little envious in her heart.

Du Heng felt a little bad after hearing this. Sheng Ruchi didn't understand women's psychology. The more he favored his wife, the more his mother would hate her daughter-in-law.

She felt that she should remind her little aunt in due course that it was necessary to be encouraged by her mother-in-law.

Not long after, the two of them got up and left. Du Heng also left quietly as if he had come before, and got up to look for his little aunt Lin Ling.

Before she could formulate her words, she watched her little aunt walking alone by the waterside pavilion from a distance.

Naturally, due to her identity, everyone avoids her like a snake or a scorpion, so she simply lives in isolation, and her eyes are pure.

Lin Ling walked onto the bridge and looked around. There were only verandahs and winding railings. When she looked up, she saw the three characters "Bijing Pavilion" written on it. The surroundings were all green, and it was really exquisite.

Lin Ling also felt tired from walking. Just when he was about to sit down and rest, a sudden burst of force came from behind: "Sister-in-law, you really miss me!"

Sheng Yu hugged Lin Ling from behind, tightly restraining her struggles with her arms, and took a deep breath from between her shoulders and neck.

Lin Ling had goosebumps all over her body, but she couldn't break free because of the posture of her back, "Let me go!"

"Huh, Master, I have missed you for a long time. Sister-in-law, I never had the chance and I didn't dare to do anything. Now your natal family has long been a mess of dirt, and you are disliked by others in the Sheng family. I would say it's better to start from the beginning.

Come on! Maybe I can give you some kind words! Speaking of which, I have tried everything, but I still don’t know what this woman is like!

Hiss—bitch, what are you doing!"

Lin Ling couldn't break free, so she could only chop Sheng Yu hard, and then hit the back of her head hard before Sheng Yu let her go. As soon as Lin Ling turned around, she saw two tubes of blood dripping from Sheng Yu's nose.

"Do you think you can escape, little bitch? Let me tell you, not only is there no one here, but if you call and attract people, I will tell everyone that you intend to seduce my brother-in-law-"

Before he could finish his eloquent words, Lin Ling's eyes widened and he looked at Sheng Yu, who fell to the ground instantly, and the girl behind Sheng Yu who was effortlessly holding a large lake stone with an expressionless face.

It was she who knocked Sheng Yu unconscious.
