Chapter 984: Left behind, betrayed and separated
People need to know how to be content. Lin Chujiu doesnât know if her younger brother understands it, but it doesnât matter. Some people were forced to grow up. Even if he doesnât understand, he will learn. If he doesnât learn, he can only endure.
âThe crime your mother committed is not too serious according to the law. She will be imprisoned for up to 3 years. You can choose to leave the capital with your father, or you can choose to wait in the capital for your mother to come out.â Speaking of it, she was still kind to Madam Lin.
In the East, it was not a crime for a mother to kill her daughter, but it was a crime for a stepmother to poison her eldest daughter. But she didnât die, so Madam Linâs crime will not be too serious. As long as she and Xiao Tianyao do not interfere with the trial, Madam Lin will not be imprisoned for a long time.
If it werenât for this, Madam wouldnât let the guards take her away without a struggle, nor would she have ever mentioned the silver she gave Lin Chujiu.
Madam Lin was smarter than Prime Minister Lin. A smart person knows when to fight for it and when to accept fate.
âI, IâŠâ The younger brother opened his mouth but did not dare to speak.
Of course, he wanted to stay in the capital until his mother was released from prison. He does not want to leave with his father, but will his Sister Lin Chujiu agree?
And if he stays, what will his Sister Lin Wanting do?
He would never let his Sister Lin Wanting go with their father alone.
âI donât want to leave the capital. I want to wait for my mother to come out.â When Lin Wanting heard Lin Chujiuâs words, her dull eyes suddenly brightened. She stepped forward and held Lin Chujiuâs hand: âSister Chujiu, please help me. I donât want to follow Father. Can you let me stay? Father, he wants to give me to an old man in his 50s as a concubine. Sister Chujiu, I beg you, I beg you please, I will be obedient from now on. I will never be willful again, please donât let me leave with Father. He will sell me, he willâŠâ
The more Lin Wanting cried, the sadder she became. And she burst into tears.
She has always been the apple of her Fatherâs eye. He was very obedient to her. If she wanted the stars, he would not give her the moon. He made plans for her wholeheartedly. She wanted to marry the Crown Prince, he helped her to be the future Empress.
She has always taken all this for granted, thinking that her parents should naturally pamper her and that she deserves all of this.
Although something happened later that made her realize that her father did not dote on her as much as he seemed, she was still a unique existence in the Lin Family. She still had her motherâs love and pampering. She doesnât have to worry about life.
But when the Lin Family fell into decline and her father ignored her wishes and motherâs objections and wanted to give her to a bad old man as a concubine, she realized that she was nothing in her fatherâs heart, she was just a chess piece.
Her Mother said that the only people who could save her were the Meng familyâs uncle and Lin Chujiu, but neither the Meng familyâs uncle nor Lin Chujiu were in the capital, so no one could help her.
But just when she was desperate, Lin Chujiu came back. Even though her mother said that Lin Chujiu might not help her, she still asked.
She doesnât want to marry a bad old man as a concubine, let alone leave with her Father and be sold again.
âIs this true?â Lin Chujiu was shocked when she heard Lin Wantingâs words.
Has Prime Minister Lin become so shameless?
âYes, itâs true. Sister Chujiu, can you save Sister Wanting?â The younger brother finally couldnât help it anymore and burst into tears.
Not only his sister but also him⊠his father also wanted to give him to some powerful people.
There were always some powerful people in the capital who had special hobbies, such as loving young girls or loving young boys.
He quietly heard his father mention it. His father said that he was just at the right age and had always been pampered. He had fine skin and tender flesh, so he would be favored by the nobles. If he sent him to the nobles, as long as he pleased the nobles, the nobles would help the Lin Family.
However, he didnât dare to say this to his mother. She was already suffering enough, and he didnât want to cause trouble to her. Moreover, if he could save his mother and sister by sacrificing himself, he would be willing.
Lin Chujiu didnât speak but looked at Xiao Tianyao.
She doesnât want to interfere with the Lin Familyâs affairs, but Lin Wanting and her siblings are not only children of the Lin family but also the children of the Meng family. They were the granddaughters of her grandmother. Her grandmother loves her so much, so she must also love Lin Wanting and her younger brother deep inside her heart.
Lin Chujiuâs nose felt sore when she thought about her grandmother, who loved her.
That old lady was nice to her, so nice that she was overwhelmed.
âYou can do whatever you want. Prime Minister Lin is all alone, why do you still need to pay attention to him?â Looking at the looks of the Lin Familyâs siblings, she was afraid they no longer had a father-son or father-daughter relationship with Prime Minister Lin.
It was alright to stay.
âForget it. You go home first, and pack up your things once Uncle and the others return to the capital.â Just treat her as a useless and softhearted woman.
As long as she thought of her grandmother, she could not be cruel to people with the Meng Familyâs bloodline.
Lin Wanting and her younger brother were so lucky enough that they were the grandchildren of the Meng family, otherwise, she would never be soft-hearted.
âSister Chujiu, arenât you going to drive us away?â When the younger brother heard this, his eyes lit up instantly.
âI never thought of driving you away. It was your father who wanted to take you away.â Lin Chujiu, the scapegoat, did not help Lin Xiang.
âWhy? Father, why did he do this?â The younger brother didnât know Prime Minister Lin chose to leave rather than die. After hearing Lin Chujiuâs words, he became even more convinced that Prime Minister Lin still wanted to sell them.
âMy sister and I are his biological children, why does he want to sell us again and again? Sister, why?â The younger brother looked at Lin Wanting with a blank expression and cried bitterly again.
He couldnât understand. Didnât his father say that everything he did was for the good of the Lin family and their siblings?
So why sell them again and again?
Lin Wanting, who had just escaped, had no time to be happy when she heard the words of the younger brother. She immediately stepped forward and hugged the younger brother: âDonât cry, brother, donât cry. I will protect you. From now on, we will only have our uncle and mother. Not our father.â
She doesnât want their father anymore, she doesnât dare to want him anymore.
âIs this a betrayal?â Lin Chujiu suddenly felt that it would be good to keep the Lin Familyâs siblings.
Since these two people have separated from Prime Minister Lin, it will not harm her if they stay in the capital and raise them, and they will also gain a good reputation.
Now, she needs a good reputationâŠâŠ
Xiao Tianyao didnât answer, he just held Lin Chujiuâs hand and walked out: âThe Lin Familyâs matter is settled, letâs go.â Some people could handle the Lin Familyâs affairs. They have been traveling for days, Lin Chujiu must be tired.
âOkay, letâs go!â Lin Chujiu moved her fingers, interlocked with Xiao Tianyaoâs fingers, and said: âI like holding hands like this, hold my hand like this in the future, so that I wonât be lost.â
âIâll remember!â Xiao Tianyao glanced down and smiled fondly.
The two left side by side. Lin Wanting hugged the younger brother and cried even harder when she saw the two people walking away from each otherâŠâŠ
Originally, Lin Chujiu was going to marry the Crown Prince. If she hadnât stolen Lin Chujiuâs marriage, would she be the one who was happily and lovingly holding hands with Prince Xiao right now?
She regretted it!
But was there any use in regretting now?
Her Mother said that from now on, only she and her brother will be the only ones left in the family. She must be sensible. She cannot be as willful as before. She must protect her brotherâŠ
