Chapter 380 You are so selfish

Shen Manman and Lin Yaxian walked for a long time and came to a deserted place in the plum blossom forest.

In the distance, there were sounds of laughter at a party.

The two stood face to face for a long time, and Lin Yaxian didn't know how to start.

Shen Manman said calmly: "What do you want to say? If you don't say it, I will leave."

Lin Yaxian was anxious: "Don't..."

Shen Manman looked at her: "If you want to care about me and ask me if I have been doing well these years, then you can rest assured that I am doing well. My father is also doing well, and my grandmother and the others are all doing well."

Lin Yaxian's face flushed when she heard her words, because that's not what she came here to say...

And they were doing well, how could she go back...

Shen Manman continued: “And my aunt is very good to me.”

Lin Yaxian finally found the topic to talk about, and said angrily: "What do you mean by being good to you? You have been deceived by her!"

"And you said earlier that you were the one who introduced her to him... Oh, you are young and ignorant. You don't know what methods a woman can use to get close to a man."

"You think you're the one pulling the strings, but it's actually her trap. The best hunters often appear as prey."

"She is nice to you now because she has not yet entered the door and has not yet established a firm foothold. Look at the Mei family of the Ningguo Marquis' Mansion."

"Didn't the Ningguo Marquis marry her as his second wife just to take care of his deceased wife's son? She has been doing her best for her stepson over the years, but in the end, Gu Han was kicked out of the house!"

"Such a big sample is right there, why can't you see it? You are the next Gu Han!"

"Manman, you have to know that you are not her biological child! She can't be sincere to you. She is now saying sweet words but having a sharp tongue. Being nice to you is actually flattering you to death!"

Shen Manman said: “So…you think your aunt is such a shrewd person?”

"She is more than smart, she is very scheming!"

Shen Manman raised her eyebrows: "Oh, what you said about her flattering me to death, this is not called deep scheming, this is called stupidity."

"I have no conflict of interest with her. I am just a girl, and my future is just a matter of dowry. If I get married, it will be a good thing for both her and Jin'er Huan'er. Unless my aunt is as stupid as you, she will not do the stupid things you say."

Lin Yaxian choked.

Shen Manman stared at her and said, “And… we haven’t seen each other for three years. I thought you would care about how I’ve been doing these years when you saw me, but you just wanted to use me to fight with your love rival!”

"No... Manman, I just care about you too much. Seeing you being deceived by her, my heart aches..." Lin Yaxian shed tears and covered her chest tightly:

"And...regardless of whether it was her plan or not, how could you help her? How could you do such a thing! I am your biological mother, and you actually let another woman take my place... How could you do such a thing!"

Shen Manman sneered: "Does my father have to guard you? Why are you so shameless?"

Lin Yaxian was stabbed by her again: "I didn't say that he must stay with me...but as my daughter, you can't do this! I can accept being hurt by strangers, but you are my biological daughter...how can I accept it?"

Shen Manman looked at her hysterically accusing herself and said coldly: "You actually remembered that I am your biological daughter this time?"

"You ran away so easily back then. Dad begged you to take me with you. How could you not remember that I was your biological child? Back then, my entire family was sentenced to death... You knew I would die in this situation. But you still ran away without looking back. How dare you say now that I stabbed you?"

"Shut up! Shut up!" Lin Yaxian covered her ears when she heard her talk about what happened in the past. "The past is the past. Don't talk about it anymore!"

This is the past she can't face!

It's her wound...

Every word he said was like rubbing salt into her wounds.

Shen Manman’s eyes were cold: “What happened will never pass!”

Lin Yaxian clutched her chest tightly, feeling a sharp pain in her heart. "Why? Why... can't you just let me go? Aren't the scorn and suffering I've endured over the years enough? Why do you still want to torture me so cruelly?"

Shen Manman: "The torment and torture you have endured were not brought by me and Daddy! You asked for it!"

"No, it's you who brought it..." Lin Yaxian's face was already covered in tears, and she no longer had any of her usual elegance: "Okay, you said I would abandon you and not care whether you live or die...

"But why don't you think about the situation at that time?"

"Even if your grandfather asked for an extra decree, the late emperor would have agreed. But the emperor's mind is hard to predict!"

"The late emperor agreed today, but he might regret it tomorrow! The Shen family at that time was a poison pit. No one who got involved would have a good life! Who in the entire capital dared to touch it?"

"Your grandfather risked his life to get me out... Because of your father's request, he once again risked his life to ask for an additional decree. Isn't that good enough for you?"

"I'm also afraid of getting him into trouble! And getting the entire Lin family into trouble! Manman, your grandfather has done so much for you, why can't you consider him and the entire Lin family?"

Shen Manman sneered: "Grandfather is good to me, I naturally know that. And I didn't plan to leave at that time, even if you agreed, I wouldn't leave. But if I don't leave...it doesn't mean I can forgive you for abandoning me..."

She had no intention of leaving at that time.

But at that time, someone outside came and said that Lin Yaxian could take Manman away, but Lin Yaxian actually refused at the first moment!

It was like a sharp knife stabbing her heart.

Lin Yaxian shook her head: "No, no, no... Shen Manman... How can you think like this? Why don't you have any sense of the overall situation? Why are you so selfish?"

"I just said, the king's heart is hard to predict! I can't let the entire Lin family be buried with you just for you!"

Shen Manman said coldly: "You are so righteous and you are thinking about the entire Lin family. You shouldn't have left in the first place! You can also stay! This is the best choice for the entire Lin family."

Lin Yaxian's face froze, she felt extremely embarrassed and ashamed: "I'm your mother! You only care about whether you can survive, why don't you think about me?"

"Yes, I am your biological mother, but you are also my biological daughter! You don't want me to live, but want me to die?"

"If I go alone, at least one of us can survive. If both of us go, the late emperor might change his mind tomorrow, and neither of us will survive! And we'll have to sacrifice the entire Lin family!"

"Why should a mother sacrifice for her daughter? I am also someone else's daughter! Why can't you think about me?"

"You blame me, but who can I blame? Did I blame you for being so heartless and selfish? You can't live on your own, and you want to drag me to death with you! How can you be so selfish!"
