Chapter 1202 Dreaming about Past Life
Shen Nanqiao?!
His wife?!
The woman whose mother was extremely critical yet barely tolerated her?!
She actually... actually dared to cheat on him?!
The target is that Liu family's bastard who is like a stray dog? !
Shen Nanqiao even... even dared to murder the imperial concubine?!
This... this is simply outrageous! Lawless!
This was completely plunging the reputation of Lu Jianglin, the Lu family, and the career he had worked so hard to build into a filthy quagmire!
"Bitch! Dirty whore!!"
Lu Jianglin could no longer control himself. His handsome face was completely distorted by extreme anger and shame, and the veins on his forehead bulged like earthworms!
He suddenly grabbed the inkstone on the table and smashed it to the ground!
With a loud "bang", ink splattered everywhere, just like his reputation that was now tarnished.
"How dare she?! How dare she humiliate me like this! Destroy me!!"
Outside the door, Mother Lu also heard the news and immediately burst into tears and curses: "Shen Nanqiao! You whore who deserves to be struck by lightning! You rotten heart and lowly bastard!!!"
Mother Lu's voice was like a broken gong, filled with deep resentment. "My son treated you well! How has the Lu family ever wronged you? How dare you do such shameless, worse than pigs and dogs, behind our backs?"
"How dare you poison the imperial concubine?! You want to kill our entire family!!!"
"My son has such a bright future! Such a talented person! And you, a jinx, ruined it all!"
"You deserve a horrible death! You deserve to be cut into pieces!"
Mother Lu sat on the ground and cried bitterly, as if her son had suffered a great injustice and her Lu family was the innocent victim who was implicated.
She hated Shen Nanqiao for taking the place of her son's wife.
Hated that the other person took away his son's attention.
But at this moment, all the disgust turned into raging rage!
How dare Shen Nanqiao humiliate her perfect son and tarnish the reputation of her Lu family in this way!
The anger burned the Lu family mother and son to the point that they almost lost their minds.
What about Keren? !
Where is Shen Nanqiao? !
Lu Jianglin's eyes were red as he roared at his master: "Where is that bitch?! Bring her back to me! I'm going to skin her alive!"
This is probably the most courageous moment Lu Jianglin has shown in more than 20 years.
"Master... Madam..."
The lawyer was trembling with fear: "It's rumored in the capital...it's rumored that she committed a serious crime...and has been...beheaded..."
That is to say, Xingyang is far from the capital, and Shen Nanqiao committed a crime, so Shen Maoxue abandoned her and even abandoned the Lu family as a marriage partner.
Lu Jianglin was not well-informed in the capital, and only found out about these things now.
Shen Nanqiao is already dead? !
He didn't even have the chance to settle accounts with her and vent his raging anger? !
The anger that was trapped in their chest was like boiling magma, burning the internal organs of the Lu family mother and son.
But they have nowhere to vent their anger, and it can only turn into deeper resentment and a heart-wrenching depression!
The days that followed were a torment for both Lu Jianglin and his mother...
Because he didn't know, after taking all these things into consideration, would His Majesty reward him or punish him?
The two suffered day after day, and the imperial court's decree finally fell like a sword hanging over their heads.
"…County Magistrate Lu Jianglin made some minor contributions in suppressing the bandits in Xingyang. However, he failed to manage his household properly, leading to disorder in his home and the dust covering his door lintel. He cannot escape blame. His merits and demerits offset each other, and he is ordered to remain as Xingyang County Magistrate, serving under penalty of punishment, to see how he performs."
The merits outweigh the faults?
Still staying in Xingyang?
Serve while serving your sentence?
The fantasy of promotion was completely shattered! Lu Jianglin knelt on the cold floor, his body as stiff as a stone sculpture...
And the source of all this... is that damn Shen Nanqiao!
She didn't even give him a chance to settle accounts face to face!
“Ahhhh!!! My son!!!”
"It's all that damn bitch's fault! That damn Shen Nanqiao!!!"
Mother Lu seemed to have lost all her strength and collapsed to the ground, then burst into a shrill and resentful wail!
"That whore had an affair and murdered the imperial concubine. She deserves death! She should go to the eighteen levels of hell! She will never be able to be reborn!!"
"Oh my God! How could you be so blind! How could you let her die so easily? She deserves to be cut into pieces!!"
Mother Lu's hair was disheveled and she looked like a madman. Her shrill and desperate cries and curses echoed repeatedly in the empty lobby of the county government office.
Lu Jianglin listened to his mother's shrill cries, lowered his head and looked at the ink stains that had already dried and turned black and splashed in the cracks between the floor tiles in front of him.
The ink stain was like his mood at the moment.
Dirty, sticky, and can't be washed off.
He clenched his fists, his nails digging deep into his palms, leaving crescent-shaped blood marks, but he didn't feel any pain at all.
Under the huge blow and days of torment, Lu Jianglin finally couldn't hold on any longer. Amidst Lu's mother's panicked cries, his eyes went dark and he fell straight to the ground, unconscious.
Mother Lu was so frightened that she even forgot to cry and quickly shouted, "Lin'er?!"
"Call a doctor!!! Go call a doctor!!!"
After a flurry of activity...
The bedroom in the back house was filled with a strong smell of medicine and a suffocating atmosphere of despair.
Lu Jianglin lay on the hard bed, his face sallow, his lips chapped and peeling. A deep, dark blue hue surrounded his sunken eye sockets.
He had a high fever and his consciousness was floating in the boiling quagmire.
Countless bizarre and shattered images crazily flooded into Lu Jianglin's mind, bringing with them a sense of absurdity, yet an incomparably real sting!
He saw that the person he married was not Shen Nanqiao.
Not the stupid and vicious woman who brought him disaster.
But it’s Shen Zhinian!
Shen Zhinian, who now holds the position of noble concubine and is like the bright moon in the clouds!
In the dream, she was charming and attractive, with bright eyes and a sense of awe that impressed him.
She is no longer a canary in the deep palace, but a politician who uses his hand to turn the tide in the court!
Lu Jianglin saw Shen Zhinian reviewing lengthy official documents for him under the flickering candlelight, leaving behind clear and powerful handwriting.
In his study, she calmly analyzed the pros and cons of the political situation, looking at a complex map. Her analysis was clear and her vision was sharp.
He saw her chatting and laughing at the banquet, quietly dealing with the powerful and influential for him, and resolving crises time and time again...
Lu Jianglin heard Shen Zhinian's cold voice ringing in his ears, with a convincing decisiveness: "Husband, this plan is feasible."
"The deficit in the Ministry of Revenue needs to be filled in this way..."
"Minister Zhang of the Ministry of Personnel is not a monolithic entity. His son is a gambler, so perhaps we can start from there..."
"Your Majesty has concerns about the military pay in the northwest. You should submit your petition tomorrow in this manner..."
Under Shen Zhinian's planning and guidance, he seemed to be riding on a rising wind, and his official career was incredibly smooth!
