Chapter 165: Chapter 165: Refuse to Admit Death

Lady Lin's face flushed red as she came out of the room and managed to squeeze out a smile to explain, "Mother, it's not what you think. I was worried that Jinguan would go astray and pick up bad habits, so I disciplined him. I didn't use much force. He's just been coddled by me and started crying louder than a bell before I even touched him—"

Hearing what Lady Lin said, Jinguan rolled out from inside, darted to Wang Laozhu's feet, and clutching them, burst into tears, "Grandpa, save me! My mom said she's going to beat me to death! I clearly didn't take any money from the house; Mom's falsely accusing me! She whipped me with a big broom, and my arms and body are all swollen! Grandpa, I miss my dad! If my dad were home, I definitely wouldn't be beaten!"

In just a few words, he had completely sold out Lady Lin.

Lady Lin's face turned as purple as a pig's liver.
