Zhuo Lin finally got on the carriage. Mrs. Sheng refused to stop for a moment and went straight out of the city.

When the carriage went all the way out of the city, Zhuo Lin asked, "take a carriage to the Northeast? Can you catch up with my cousin's wedding?" it would take at least half a month to take a carriage all the way from the capital to the four northern provinces. Now trains have been connected from the capital to the four northern provinces, which are much better than carriages in terms of time, cost and even comfort.

Sheng Fu said humanely, "what train do you take? There are all kinds of people on that train. You don't have to catch anything dirty!"

Zhuo Lin was a little funny. "Did you come to the capital by carriage from Jiangnan?"

Sheng's second brother, who accompanied them in a car, said, "we went north in Wei's boat and changed our carriage when we got to the capital ferry."

Zhuo Lin nodded and almost forgot that she could walk by water.

But even so, Zhuo Lin didn't believe Mrs. Sheng really, so she planned to take a carriage all the way to the four northern provinces.

Sure enough, after leaving the capital, the carriage did not go to the northeast, but turned to the south.

"Where the hell are you taking me?" Zhuo Lin sat in the carriage and looked at Mrs. Sheng, who was leaning against the carriage to keep her eyes closed, and her eyes fell on the second brother Sheng.

Sheng's second brother looked at his sister in embarrassment. He looked at his mother, lowered his head and didn't speak.

Zhuo Lin sneered and said, "do you believe I'll jump out of this carriage now?"

The second brother Sheng was a little helpless. "Stop it, little sister. The carriage runs fast. You hurt yourself."

Zhuo Lin smiled, "yes, it's me who hurt, but it's not you who lost?" second brother Sheng's face changed slightly and didn't speak.

Mrs. Sheng, who had never spoken, opened her eyes, looked at Zhuo Lin and said faintly, "don't say you were injured today. Even if you fell dead, you should go where you should go."

Zhuo Lin stared at her and said in a deep voice, "so you're really going to sell me."

Mrs. Sheng's face became very ugly. She was always proud of her identity and family. Such a proud person naturally couldn't tolerate others saying that she sold her daughter, although everyone knew it was true.

Just as Sheng Zhuoyan, who was in his prime, married the young master of the Wei family who was weak and doomed to a short life. Who wouldn't understand what was going on? But who dares to say it in front of her?

"You should have married long ago at your age. Your family has chosen a marriage for you. You just need to comply." Mrs. Sheng said coldly.

"How much did you charge?" Zhuo Lin asked mercilessly, vowing to tear off her last fig leaf.

"..." there was silence in the carriage, only the sound of wheels running on the ground and the clatter of horses on the road.

The solemn atmosphere in the carriage made second brother Sheng feel that he couldn't stay, so he had to cough softly and say, "well, I'll go back and see big brother."

In addition to the older sister, the women in their family are milder, and the mother and younger sister are stronger than each other.

Zhuo Lin chuckled and suddenly stretched out her hand and pulled Sheng Er GE's collar. Sheng Er Ge was stunned. Before he could speak, he saw Zhuo Lin touch a gun and put it on his chin.

"Little... Little sister, what are you doing?" second brother Sheng was very frightened and quickly trembled. Why does she have a gun?!

Zhuo Lin said with a smile, "second brother, what's our mother doing this time? She has to sell me in such a hurry?"

Brother Sheng stared carefully at the gun pipe, "what's sold... Don't talk nonsense, little sister. My mother just wants you to see each other. That family is also a rich family in the north. You won't suffer if you marry."

Zhuo Lin looked at Sheng Fu humanitarianism with an iron face: "my mother was just worried that I couldn't get married? That doesn't matter. Let's go back to the capital now and I'll get married tomorrow."

Brother Sheng was a little surprised. He only heard Zhuo Lin say, "a few days ago, many people in the capital asked me to marry them. I still prefer reading people. There happened to be a middle school teacher not far from our school. He is also a college student. He is only three years older than me and looks good. I think it's acceptable."

"Middle school teacher?" asked second brother Sheng.

Zhuo Lin said with a smile, "yes, it seems that I'm from a small town around the capital. Now I can stand firm in the capital. Anyway, I don't need him in the future. It's not difficult for us to struggle together after marriage. In this way, my parents and two brothers don't have to worry about me? Mom, what do you say?"

"Shut up!" Mrs. Sheng said coldly. That's what she hates most about her daughter. The eyes are too sharp and the heart is too clear. Just understand. She still wants to say it, deliberately embarrassing.

"What do you want to do? Kill your brother? Or even me? Try it. I'll see what kind of evil the Sheng family has raised!" Mrs. Sheng sneered, obviously determined not to shoot.

Zhuo Lin was not surprised, nodded and said, "it's really bad to kill relatives by yourself, mother... Let's gamble our luck. Whoever dies lives depends on God's will."

Mrs. Sheng was stunned. Zhuo Lin suddenly raised the curtain and said to the driver, "stop and get down!"

The people driving outside have long heard the dialogue inside, but the owner didn't give orders and didn't dare to act rashly. Hearing Zhuolin's voice, he reined in the reins. When he looked back and saw the gun in Zhuolin's hand, he was startled, "second, second miss?!"

"Go down." Zhuo Lin said faintly.

The coachman did not dare to delay or look at Mrs. Sheng, so he jumped out of the car.

The car behind had to stop when it saw that it had stopped in front. The big brother of the Sheng family behind was about to jump out of the car and ask about the situation. Zhuo Lin had raised her hand and shot out, "big brother, don't move."

“……”

Zhuo Lin looked at Mrs. Sheng with a smile and said, "Mom, let's play a game."

Mrs. Sheng looked at Zhuo Lin coldly. Zhuo Lin said, "I still have five bullets in my gun. I'll shoot five shots in front. If we're still alive after the horse stops, even if I lose. If I die, you can sell my body to anyone without complaint."

"Little sister, you... Don't be impulsive..." second brother Sheng was frightened by the smile on Zhuo Lin's face and couldn't help shaking.

The horse they pulled was not a military horse. The horse was restless just after the shot. If Zhuo Lin shot the horse and drove the horse crazy, it's a small matter that the carriage overturned. I'm afraid the people in the car will be finished.

Zhuo Lin said, "I'm not impulsive, second brother, don't be afraid. Even if you die, our eldest brother still inherits incense, never after."

"..." am I worried about this?

Zhuo Lin said, "otherwise you tell me why my mother is so anxious? I can play this game with my mother."

Second brother Sheng looked at Zhuolin and Mrs. Sheng. He was too powerful. He still didn't dare to disobey his mother.

Zhuo Lin said, "after I shoot, even if I regret it, it's too late." he said with a slight movement of his finger holding the trigger. Second brother Sheng couldn't help shaking and stretched out his hand to grab Zhuo Lin's gun.

Zhuo Lin was ruthless and took advantage of her position. She pressed hard and hit him in the face with a gun at the same time.

Sheng's second brother was almost out of breath in pain, and his tears couldn't stop flowing down.

Brother Sheng is a weak scholar. Even if his physical strength is stronger than Zhuo Lin, his strength is very limited. Zhuo Lin went out early to study. Although she can't be called a good skill, she still has some means of self-defense.

Mrs. Sheng's face was pale and trembled with anger. Her eyes stared at her daughter, but she was unwilling to admit defeat anyway.

Zhuo Lin looked much more calm and said with a soft smile, "mother, don't look at me like this. It's reasonable to say that you gave birth to me and raised me. I shouldn't do this to you. But... If you just want me to repay your birth and upbringing, I can give you my life."

Mrs. Sheng gritted her teeth and said, "I just want you to get married! Which girl is not like this? Ah Yan was the same in those years. Why are you special?"

Zhuo Lin said, "although you don't give me the right to choose life, I can give you the right to choose my death. In addition, you can't control anything about me. Do you really just want me to get married? Not including being a good wife and mother after marriage and trying to subsidize my mother's family? You don't mind my blood splashing in my bridal chamber on my wedding night or killing someone in my husband's house one day?"

Mrs. Sheng almost roared, "the Sheng family gave birth to you and raised you. What's wrong with asking you to repay now?"

Zhuo Lin's eyes were cold. "I can repay the Sheng family's kindness. Why must I sacrifice my life?"

Mrs. Sheng sneered and said with some disdain, "you? How much skill can you have? How many years?"

"..." Zhuo Lin smiled a little more, slightly bitter and helpless, shook her head and said, "forget it, mother, in that case... Let's gamble our lives."

"No, don't..." brother Sheng covered his tearful face and said in a trembling voice, "little sister... No, you let me down first! Let me down!"

"Go ahead."

Sheng Er Ge paused for a moment, shook his body and said, "Mom... Mom wants to donate a same and well-known position to eldest brother. It costs 50000 or 50000 liang of silver."

Zhuo Lin was unmoved and said faintly, "what else?"

"Also... Also, I lost some money in doing business with people."

"How much?"

Sheng Er Ge swallowed his saliva, "ten, ten thousand Liang..."

Zhuo Lin said, "it seems that the Wei family doesn't want to raise such a large group of moths as the Sheng family?"

The Wei family is a rich man in the south of the Yangtze River, but it's not a fool with a lot of money. Zhuo Lin grew up in the Sheng family and still knows a little about the Sheng family. The girl stopped talking. She was locked up at home to learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, three obediences and four virtues. She also tried to be diligent and thrifty. It didn't cost much. But the pomp of these men and women is bigger and bigger.

And the more it declines, the more pomp it becomes. It seems that only in this way can we tell the world that Shengjia is still prosperous.

Once Zhuo Lin listened to her sister talk, saying that although the Wei family was rich, they were not as good as the Sheng family in terms of ostentation. The Sheng family also takes this for granted. How can upstarts like the Wei family be qualified to compare with them?

Brother Sheng said carefully, "that... The Wei family has been in some chaos recently. My eldest sister hasn't been..."

Zhuo Lin understands that the Wei family has a large population and the family is in chaos. Her sister has not been pregnant since she married. I'm afraid it's not easy to live in her mother-in-law's family.

Naturally, the Wei family has long been impatient to deal with blood sucking insects like the Sheng family. Now the Sheng family is short of more than 200000 Liang, and the Wei family will not pay attention. You know, 200000 Liang is at least half of the annual profit of the Wei family.

Zhuo Lin asked, "who is mother going to sell me?"

The second brother Sheng said, "the Zheng family in Tongcheng is the little childe of the Zheng family. The Zheng family said that as long as you are willing to marry, the Zheng family is willing to give 300000 liang of bride price." this bride price is definitely a big sum of money. Although the silver is not worth as much as it was in earlier years, it is still a huge sum of money that ordinary people can't imagine.

The richest place in the south of the Yangtze River is only 50000 liang from Wupin Tongzhi, which shows how much 300000 Liang is.

If only officials are donated, the Sheng family can donate six five grade officials with these 300000 Liang.

Zhuo Lin was curious, "why did the Zheng family give so much dowry?" after her sister got married, the dowry of the Wei family didn't have this number.

Brother Sheng hesitated for a moment before whispering, "well... There's something wrong with the young childe of the Sheng family. The ancestors of the Zheng family were also senior officials, and now Mrs. Zheng's mother's family is also a second-class official of the imperial court, and ordinary people's girls don't like it..." ordinary people's girls don't like the Zheng family, whose family background is worthy of the Zheng family. Who is willing to marry her daughter to a person with brain problems? So I can only throw money.

As long as enough money is spent, there are always several noble families who are short of money who are willing to contribute their daughters, such as the Sheng family.

Moreover, the Sheng family and the Zheng family are far apart. If the marriage is really successful, people in Jiangnan may not know that the second daughter of the Sheng family has been married to a person with brain problems.

Zhuo Lin was going to be angry and smiled, nodded and said, "OK, you go down."

Second brother Sheng gave a timid look at Mrs. Sheng with a gloomy face. After all, he didn't say anything and got out of the car.

The carriage was silent. A group of people stood outside, but no one dared to approach. After all, Zhuo Lin is the only one with a gun in her hand.

Zhuo Lin looked at Mrs. Sheng with some emotion, "mother, let's go."

"Wait!" Mrs. Sheng said with a gloomy face and gnashing her teeth.

Zhuo Lin looked at her slightly. Mrs. Sheng said coldly, "are you really so mean? Would you rather watch your two brothers suffer? Would you rather die with your mother than contribute to the Sheng family? Don't forget that your two brothers loved you when you were a child."

Zhuo Lin was a little funny. "What have they suffered? If they want to be an official, they can't pass the exam, and if they lose money in business, they want their sister to sell? Mother, can't our family really afford the money?" the Sheng family doesn't have much money now, but there are a lot of asset antiques uploaded by their ancestors. I really want to make it difficult.

Mrs. Sheng didn't speak, Zhuo Lin said slowly, "no, you just think it's the most cost-effective to sell a daughter. After all, the ancestral property uploaded by our ancestors will disappear, and the Sheng family will lose face. My mother has been partial to the two brothers since childhood, but now I guess my mother is regretting why she didn't have more girls."

Mrs. Sheng snapped, "I ask you! Are you really so cruel?!"

Zhuo Lin calmly said, "yes, even if I don't want this life, I won't let you make a penny by selling me."

"Then you die!" Mrs. Sheng said with a distorted look. "You said I gave birth to you and raised you. You are willing to repay my kindness. Then you die now!"

"OK." Zhuo Lin smiled and put the muzzle of the gun on her jaw. "If you want, I'll give it to you."

Mrs. Sheng closed her lips and stared at Zhuo Lin's eyes.

She hoped to see fear or threat in Zhuolin's eyes, but Zhuolin's eyes were very calm from beginning to end, as if she had a delicate flower instead of a gun on her jaw.

Mrs. Sheng finally couldn't help shaking, "you're crazy... You madman!"

Zhuo Lin said with a smile, "mother, you should be glad that you moved very fast today and didn't give me time to prepare. You are my biological mother. I really can't help you, but it doesn't mean I don't know what your weakness is. However, it's no use saying this now. Bye."

Mrs. Sheng opened her mouth and wanted to say something. But somehow she found that she couldn't make any sound. She had to open her mouth in vain and look at the girl in front of her in horror.

She put her finger on the trigger and began to exert a slight force. Her eyes shrank and she was frightened to find that she was still smiling.

"Bang!"

"Ah!!!" the gunshot and the woman's shrill scream sounded at the same time.

"Mother! Little sister!" the frightened voice of the Sheng brothers also sounded outside.

At the same time, there was a somewhat angry male voice, "Zhuo Lin! How are you? Are you in there?"

As expected, the blood splashing didn't appear. Zhuo Lin was surprised to listen to the voice outside, opened the curtain of the carriage, leaned out and looked at the voice, "Fu Zheng? Didn't you go back to the south?"

Fu Zheng's uniform buttons were scattered, his hair was a little messy, and there was a little wet sweat on his forehead.

One of them was carrying brother Sheng, and the other was carrying a gun. The gun was against brother Sheng's temple.

Seeing Zhuo Lin, she relaxed her mouth and said, "are you okay?"

Zhuo Lin smiled, "it's all right. What can I do for you?"

Fu Zheng raised his chin slightly. "What's going on inside?" Mrs. Sheng's cry didn't stop. It sounded very penetrating.

Zhuo Lin said, "I'm scared."

"..." Fu Zheng didn't want to ask Zhuo Lin what she did to scare her mother like this.

"Why are you here?" Zhuolin asked.

Fu Zhengli said angrily, "didn't you send a letter for help?"

Zhuo Lin said, "my letter doesn't seem to be for you."

Fu Zhengdao: "but it's in my hands. Isn't this fate? Can we go?"

Zhuo Lin nodded, "go."

Mrs. Sheng in the carriage finally calmed down. She just looked at Zhuo Lin, but her original arrogance and strength were no longer in her eyes, leaving only panic.

"Are you kidding me?"

Zhuo Lin smiled, "I'm kidding my mother. How could I commit suicide?"

Zhuo Lin got up, jumped out of the carriage and turned to Sheng Fu in the car: "I will pay back the Sheng family's birth and maintenance kindness. I will send the bill back to Sheng family tomorrow. It will take effect after my father and mother confirm."

Sheng Fu humanitarian: "do you want to break off the relationship with Sheng family?"

"I want to be grateful," said Zhuo Lin. "You has the final say, but you will not be able to manipulate my life. Even my parents. Mother, don't mess with me. I will not start you, but it doesn't mean I will not move your baby's knot." then, Zhuolin turned to Fu Zhengdao, "go."

Fu Zheng nodded, threw brother Sheng aside and said, "let's go."

Brother Sheng blushed, "little, little sister... You can't go."

Zhuo Lin looked down at him, "brother, did you understand what I said just now? Or did you never know that your sister is not a kind man."

Brother Sheng shivered at Shang Zhuolin's eyes. A group of people watched Fu Zheng help Zhuolin onto a horse parked on the side of the road. A moment after lifting the reins, the two men had gone away.

"Niang......" after a while, the second brother Sheng carefully walked to the side of the carriage and looked at Mrs. Sheng, who looked a little embarrassed inside. "Now... What should I do now?"

Mrs. Sheng glanced at the weak son and said coldly, "get out!"

She has been strong all her life, but her husband and son are weak and incompetent.

The only character like her is Zhuolin, a little daughter who has always been dissatisfied with her. Perhaps it is precisely because they are also strong people. Their mother and daughter have not been close since childhood.

Now

Mrs. Sheng closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Her eyebrows were a little decadent.

She didn't want to provoke Sheng Zhuolin if her son wasn't really disappointing. She also knew what her daughter's character was. She really forced Zhuo Lin to do something that she could do.

"This evil woman!" Mrs. Sheng's lips trembled and clenched her teeth.
