302 Pleading
Lin Suisui didn’t expect that while she was thinking about how to resolve the trouble that Doctor Luo’s identity might bring, this trouble would affect her so quickly.
When she heard that Madam Du was kneeling at her door and wailing, Lin Suisui thought of the confession Qiao Niang had made in the Imperial City’s government office.
For five taels of silver, Madam Du chose to betray Doctor Luo, who had been helping her. She chose to help a person with ulterior motives frame this elder who had been helping her family all the time.
Even in the Imperial City’s government office, she was still quibbling.
!!
She had never thought about what would happen to Doctor Luo after she accused him that day. Her excuse was that her anger overcame her rationality, and she wanted to get revenge on Yuan Niang.
Although she had indeed been deceived and instructed by someone else, she accepted the bribe and agreed to help.
This scheme was quite crude and anyone with a brain could tell that something was wrong. However, even though Qiao Niang knew that something was wrong, she still chose to harm the elder who had once treated her so well.
Therefore, Lin Suisui had no intention of interfering.
Later on, when she went over to check on the soldiers a few times, she calmly changed the topic when she saw Doctor Luo’s hesitation.
Therefore, from that moment on, she had expected this day to come. However, she didn’t expect the Luo family to still have such influence. They even instigated a group of military families to accompany her and kneel at her door while complaining.
“Your Highness, Doctor Luo rushed over when he found out about the news. He’s currently persuading them to go back first. However, Doctor Luo’s persuasion seems to be useless. Not only was he scolded by the women in the lead, but he was also pushed to the ground by them.”
Yin Qiao leaned towards Lin Suisui and whispered about what had happened. Then, she pursed her lips and commented disdainfully, “However, I really don’t understand. It’s not like Doctor Luo doesn’t know the ways of the world at all, but why did he do those stupid things when facing these people? He clearly knows that they’re pestering him and being unreasonable.”
“I’ve heard my husband mention this previously. When Doctor Luo and the others were in a pinch, these families helped him.
Perhaps the help he received was just a little bit of food, but to Doctor Luo, who was at his wits’ end at that time, it was as precious as a desert traveler encountering an oasis or a drowning person encountering driftwood.
Therefore, that’s the reason he can’t bring himself to be ruthless to these people now.
However, there has to be a limit to everything.
Sometimes, it’s not a good thing to be too tolerant. Doctor Luo’s indulgence has given these people the misunderstanding that no matter what they do, Doctor Luo will think of a way to cover up for them.”
As Lin Suisui spoke, she had already walked to the outer courtyard with Bai Guo and Yin Qiao. Before she reached the entrance, she could already hear the commotion outside.
Without hesitation, Lin Suisui gestured for the guards guarding the door to open the door and slowly walked out under the escort of Bai Guo and the others.
Seeing Lin Suisui, Doctor Luo, who had been trying his best to persuade the Du family, finally stopped. He came over and bowed to Lin Suisui as he greeted, “Madam.”
“Do you know what crime your daughter has committed?” Lin Suisui didn’t want to waste any more time here, so she went straight to the point.
“Madam, my daughter didn’t do anything.” Mdm Du gritted her teeth and kowtowed to Lin Suisui as she explained, “She’s still a child. She was just scammed by a traitor and wanted to help!
That person said that she wanted to look for her husband, and she had information about him, so she naturally told her!
“Madam, you don’t know, but Qiao’er has always been warm-hearted. Her father passed away early on and she had no one to guide her, so it’s normal for her to fall for that person’s lies!
“Madam, please spare Qiao Niang this time!”
After Qiao Niang was taken away, Mdm Du finally calmed down after the initial panic.
She quickly understood the cause and effect of the matter. Although she knew that Qiao Niang’s actions were wrong, no matter how she looked at it, it wasn’t that big of a mistake!
Of course, after that, she immediately went to look for Doctor Luo to ask him to plead for mercy.
However, Doctor Luo, who usually listened to them, actually refused to help and lost his temper with her.
It was fine if he was unwilling to help. She could come to look for Lin Suisui herself.
After she asked around, she found out that the woman in front of her was a woman who had just come from the capital. She didn’t have many connections in the north.
These sorts of women were the most pretentious and prideful.
After she thought about it, she decided to go all out today. If this madam didn’t agree to help her today, she would cause a ruckus today and embarrass her.
“The Imperial City’s government office took your daughter away, not my family!” Lin Suisui looked down at Madam Du, who was clearly planning to keep causing trouble until she got what she wanted. She spoke in an indifferent tone as she tried her best to help Madam Du change her ways.
However, Madam Du was beyond saving.
Before Lin Suisui could finish speaking, Madam Du, who was kneeling in front of her, raised her head and looked at her with determination and unyieldingness. “But I heard that because my daughter offended you, Mr. Gu took my daughter away!
I know that Qiao Niang sometimes speaks and does things without thinking.
But now, she had been locked up in the Imperial City’s government office for so long. Even if he wanted to teach her a lesson, it should be enough by now!
Please be magnanimous and not make things difficult for a child, okay?
If there’s anything she did wrong, I’ll carry the blame and pay for it, okay?”
As Madam Du cried and begged, she kowtowed to Lin Suisui. Her aggrieved and pitiful appearance made the crowd sigh. Some people, who were mothers like Madam Du, nodded sympathetically and helped plead for her. They wanted Lin Suisui to be magnanimous and let the pitiful mother and daughter off the hook.
