“Lin Zixun, stop spreading rumors here. The Young Master wouldn’t treat me like that,” Lin Ya desperately wanted to live a luxurious life. Now that she finally met someone handsome and wealthy, she knew she had fallen for him.
Is it wrong for her to want to marry this Young Master?
“Is it wrong for me to just like him?” she asked.
Lin Zixun, hearing Lin Ya’s lofty words, became increasingly indifferent.
“Lin Ya, I’ll give you one last chance. Take your things and get out.”
“This isn’t your place. Don’t think you’re some kind of steward here, Lin Zixun. In fact, you’re nothing,” Lin Ya said hysterically.
Lin Ya thought this would anger Lin Zixun and she would get what she wanted. But she underestimated Lin Zixun; he didn’t have any of the desires Lin Ya imagined.
“Zixun, just take her back directly, okay? The Master has things to attend to, and leaving madam here, what if this woman attacks her?” Qiu Chan looked at Lin Zixun and spoke.
It’s not that they were heartless, but Lin Ya’s behavior was truly contemptible.
Wang Jinhe looked at one person, then at another, unsure of who to assign the task to.
“You go about your business; I’ll take care of things here,” Wang Jinhe said, noticing Lin Ya’s gaze fixed on Su Yu, which affected Su Yu’s mood as well.
He turned to Lin Zixun. “After you take this crazy woman back, make sure no one else comes here. And you’d better tell her family not to allow her to come here again.”
“I’m not some saint either,” Wang Jinhe said, sending shivers down Lin Ya’s spine.
“Madam, rest assured, I’ll make sure to explain everything to her parents.”
Ignoring Lin Ya’s struggles and anger, Lin Zixun subdued her and left with her.
Watching Lin Zixun’s actions, Lin Ya was furious. “Lin Zixun, let me go!”
Lin Zixun paid no attention to Lin Ya and left with her.
Wang Jinhe looked at the person being dragged away by Lin Zixun, feeling helpless.
“Such people, I don’t know why they keep acting like this.”
She had never seen anyone like Lin Ya, someone who would sacrifice their own and their family’s reputation for their selfish desires.
“It’s actually quite normal for her to not care about her reputation,” Qiu Chan suddenly spoke up.
Wang Jinhe turned to look at Qiu Chan, his eyes filled with astonishment. “Normal?”
Was Qiu Chan serious? Did she really think it was normal?
“Lin Ya did a lot of things like this for herself. When her brother was about to take the imperial examination, she poisoned him with croton Powder to prevent him from becoming a scholar. I heard about it from Zixun,” Qiu Chan said.
“Lin Ya, she only cares about herself.”
“Her family members don’t like her; they could abandon her at any time.”
“We went to Lin Ya’s house yesterday and saw other people. With so many people in her family, not a single one of them wants anything to do with her.”
Listening to Qiu Chan’s words, Wang Jinhe was speechless.
Why would a sister be so unhappy when her brother wanted to take the imperial examination? Wasn’t it good to have a brother who could become a scholar?
“Lin Ya’s thoughts are really strange. If she can’t have the things, does that mean others can’t have them either?” To ruin her brother’s future like that, Lin Ya’s brother must hate her.
“What Miss said is true, but she seems to not care at all. Maybe she thinks no one would dare to do anything to her.”
“Lin Ya’s brother has completely changed.”
“He used to love studying, but now he doesn’t even glance at a book. I heard from Zixun that something happened to him that caused this change, but Lin Zixun doesn’t know about it.”
“It’s also from this time onwards that Lin Ya’s family members have been treating her poorly and even avoiding her completely.”
“So that’s why. No wonder Lin Ya is so self-centered,” Wang Jinhe said thoughtfully.
With this in mind, Lin Ya probably wouldn’t face any substantial punishment when she returned home.
With a sigh, Wang Jinhe stood there, lost in thought.
“What’s wrong, Miss?”
“I suddenly feel like we may have let her off too easily by just sending her back like that,” Wang Jinhe murmured.
Qiu Chan paused for a moment, then couldn’t help but laugh. “Madam, you’re too adorable like this.”
Giving Qiu Chan a playful glare, Wang Jinhe said, not in the best of moods, “I won’t talk to you anymore. Let’s go out for a stroll.”
With Su Yu gone, it was time for her to go out and take a walk too.
“Okay.”
Lin Zixun took Lin Ya back to the village directly.
After returning to the village, they went straight to Lin Ya’s house without even going home.
Lin Ya’s father, seeing Lin Ya in such a state, didn’t seem to care at all. “Zixun, weren’t you supposed to go back? Why did you come over?”
“I came over to discuss some matters with you, Uncle,” Lin Zixun explained Lin Ya’s actions one by one.
After listening, Lin Ya’s father just looked calmly at the disheveled Lin Ya.
With a slight tug at his lips, Lin Ya’s father looked at Lin Zixun and said, “Zixun, you know the relationship between us and her.”
Lin Zixun naturally knew their relationship. “Uncle, I know your relationship, but the County Princess and her husband don’t. The County Princess is very angry about this matter. Uncle, I’m just reminding you that some people, even if you treat them well, may not take you seriously.”
Lin Ya’s father sighed softly. “Zixun, I already know about this matter. You go back first; I’ll handle Lin Ya’s situation here.”
“Zixun, could you please apologize to the County Princess on our behalf? I feel ashamed to have raised such a daughter.”
“Uncle, don’t worry, I’ll talk to the County Princess.”
Lin Ya got up from the ground and looked at Lin Zixun, preparing to attack as he approached.
Seeing Lin Ya’s demeanor, Lin Zixun quickly dodged.
Seeing Lin Ya’s failed attempt, Lin Zixun smirked inwardly. She really didn’t want to give Uncle face; someone like Lin Ya deserved a good lesson.
As Lin Zixun was about to strike, Lin Ya’s father suddenly intervened.
It was the first time he had ever laid a hand on Lin Ya.
With one slap and one kick, Lin Ya was completely stunned.
Lin Ya covered her face and stared blankly at her father. He had never laid a hand on her before, no matter how many wrongs she had committed, even when she ruined her own brother’s future.
As Lin Ya was about to start questioning, another slap came.
She looked at her father’s indifferent expression, and her heart skipped a beat. Why did it feel like he had suddenly become a different person?
“Dad, what are you doing?”
“We raised a daughter like you, shameless and without conscience. It’s our fault.”
“At the beginning, when you started doing wrong things, we didn’t properly correct you. That’s also our fault.” If they hadn’t indulged Lin Ya because they couldn’t bear to punish her, things wouldn’t have reached this point.
Their son wouldn’t resent them for this, refusing to touch anything related to books and unwilling to strive to improve.
“It’s all our fault.”
