” Go to the back door and ask!” Then, the voice of the gatekeeper came from inside.
Old Madam Lin was so angry that she stomped her feet. She opened her mouth and was about to curse, but she was pulled back by Fourth Uncle Lin.
“Mother, it’s so late at night. Stop messing around.”
“If we disturb Old Master Liu, it will have a bad for Lanhua.” Old Fourth Lin said.
“Humph!” Old Madam Lin glared at him angrily before giving up.
Then, she walked towards the ox-cart.
“What are you waiting for? Let’s go to the back door!” When she arrived at the ox-cart, she said to Fourth Uncle Lin in annoyance.
I low dare he treat her, the mother of the future mistress of the Liu residence, like this? When she sees her daughter later, she’ll let her daughter deal with him!
Fourth Uncle Lin frowned and walked towards the ox-cart.
Then, he got on the carriage and rode to the back door of the Liu residence.
Then, he helped his mother knock on the door again.
This time, it took a long time before someone opened the door.
When he found out that Old Madam Lin was looking for Lin Lanhua, the gatekeeper’s expression changed.
“Please go and inform them. We’re looking for the Sixth Concubine. It’s really urgent!” Seeing this, Fourth Uncle Lin ignored his mother and said to the gatekeeper nicely. There was a pleading tone in his voice.
It was freezing outside.
At the gate, the gatekeeper was not willing to help them report.
If the back door was still like that, what else could they do tonight?
If they were to stand guard outside the Liu Residence for an entire night in such terrible weather, they would probably freeze to death.
Not only them, but even the ox couldn’t stand it.
He had borrowed the ox from the village chief.
If there was a problem, he would not be able to explain it to the village chief.
When Old Madam Lin saw Fourth Uncle’s Lin expression, she looked displeased.
She glared at her son but did not say anything.
In this situation, they really had to see their daughter first.
When she saw her daughter, everything would be easy to handle.
A complicated expression flashed across the gatekeeper’s face.
He looked at the mother and son who were not wearing thick clothes, as well as the ox-cart in the snow outside.
“Eh, I…” A struggle flashed across his face again.
“What’s wrong? Please tell us.”
He thought to himself, “does this person want money?”
Just as he was hesitating whether he should tell his mother, the gatekeeper sighed again.
“It’s such a cold day. You guys should go back quickly. You won’t be able to see the Sixth Concubine.”
“Why not? Go and inform her that her mother is here. How can she not see me?!” Old Madam Lin was instantly annoyed.
Fourth Uncle Lin frowned as if he had guessed something.
“Did something happen to Lanhua? What’s going on?” He immediately asked the gatekeeper.
When Old Madam Lin heard this, she threw a punch at Fourth Uncle Lin.
“What nonsense are you saying? Are you cursing your sister?”
He frowned and did not dodge Old Madam Lin’s attack.
His gaze was still fixed on the gatekeeper, his expression extremely anxious.
Actually, worrying about Lin Lanhua was secondary. He was more worried that he would not be able to see Lin Lanhua and would have to spend the night in Qingshi Town.
The gatekeeper’s expression was complicated, but he still did not say anything.
As for Fourth Uncle Lin, he was finally annoyed after being hit by Old Madam Lin several times.
“Mother, stop it!” He grabbed Old Madam Lin’s hand and spoke in a heavier tone.
“Waah! You hit me? You disobedient and unfilial thing…” A series of vulgarities quickly came out of Old Madam Lin’s mouth.
Hearing this, Fourth Uncle Lin’s head was about to swell.
The gatekeeper watched from the side. While he was annoyed with Old Madam Lin, he also felt some sympathy for Fourth Uncle Lin.
“Enough! The Liu Residence is an important place, and no one is allowed to hara.s.s the master!” The gatekeeper said in a deep voice.
Old Madam Lin had yet to finish venting her anger. Now that she was interrupted, she immediately turned her attention to the gatekeeper.
“What does it have to do with you?! You condescending thing, why won’t you report it?!”
“When I see the Sixth Concubine, I will definitely make her kill you!”
Old Madam Lin’s words were extremely vicious, and the gatekeeper’s face darkened.
The hesitation on his face was gone, leaving only anger.
“Then you will be disappointed. Sixth Concubine had been dead for three days. Old Master had already ordered her to be sent out for burial. If you want to find her, go underground!”
With that, the door was slammed shut again.
The gatekeeper calmed down after quickly locking the door.
He regretted telling the news of Sixth Concubine’s death to her family.
However, after thinking about it, he knew that this matter would be revealed sooner or later. They were just two country b.u.mpkins. They might not dare to make a fuss at all, so she felt a little relieved.
Outside the door, Old Madam Lin was stunned.
After a long while, she turned to look at Fourth Uncle Lin.
“Son…” Her voice was trembling as she spoke.
He was also shocked and even a little afraid..
