Chapter 645 A Feast for the Eyes

As expected, the Qin family had Lin Yue'e's informants, and Lin Yue'e, as someone in the know, revealed the news on the day of her wedding.

"Do I have any other options?"

Qin Nanyan sneered, then said, "Isn't it what you wanted for me to marry into this family? You wanted me to help you deal with your father, right?"

Lin Yue'e is selfish, and she's experienced it firsthand. If she really cared about her, she should have told her the truth sooner. With the people Qin Shi left in the Qin family, helping her escape wouldn't be a problem.

Qin Nanyan knew that Lin Yue'e had no obligation to help, but she disdained to do something as simple as passing on a message.

"Cousin, I..."

Seeing through her so easily, Lin Yue'e couldn't find an explanation, so she simply said, "Anyway, things have come to this, so don't think about it anymore."

Qin Nanyan turned her face away, not wanting to see her cousin.

Before she got married, she had already given the poison she had hidden to the old woman in the kitchen. Tonight, the Qin family was holding a banquet. If she used poison, those scum who drove her mother to her death would all be buried together on the Double Ninth Festival.

"If you want to run away, I can help you."

Lin Yue'e's words were insincere, but based on her observation, her cousin wouldn't run away; there was no indication of it.

"Now that I've stepped into the Lin family's doorstep, I'm a member of the Lin family. Where can I run to?"

Qin Nanyan shook her head. She accepted her fate. Since this was her destiny, there was no point in struggling.

"Miss, you didn't sleep all night yesterday, why don't you take a short rest?"

Yu Li made the bed and removed the hairpins from Qin Nanyan's head. Lin Yuesha and Lin Yue'e could not stay any longer, so they had to go out together.

What does my cousin mean?

Lin Yue'e was completely baffled and felt something was very strange. Zhou Shi was gone, yet Qin Nanyan showed no sadness whatsoever, nor any resentment towards the Qin family, which was quite illogical.

Lin Yuesha nodded thoughtfully, indicating her agreement.

"It seems she's waiting for the right moment to make a big fuss."

Lin Yue'e picked a flower and put it on her head. Either she was preparing to run away to lower the Lin family's guard, or she was staying temporarily to plot a scheme.

"I hope she won't do anything foolish."

Lin Yuesha sighed softly, and the two left the courtyard.

Once everyone had left, Qin Nanyan immediately sat up in bed, showing no signs of sleepiness whatsoever.

"Time is passing so slowly, why isn't it dark yet? I'm really looking forward to our wedding night."

After Qin Nanyan finished speaking, she took out a dagger from her sleeve pocket. She removed the leather sheath, revealing a sharp blade that gleamed coldly.

One stab and it's all over. The Qin family, who sold their daughter for personal gain, cannot be let off the hook. And scum like Lin Shusheng, who lives off his wife and daughter and abandons them to climb the social ladder, should not be allowed to live on.

"Miss, why don't you leave it to me to do?"

The assassination of Lin Shusheng was their plan. If it failed, the master and servant would not be able to escape from the Lin mansion and would surely fall into the hands of the Lin family.

If it really comes to that, Yu Li can take the blame, saying that she was speaking up for her mistress and that she only had malicious intentions because she was angry. In this way, Qin Nanyan can be exonerated.

"No."

Qin Nanyan shook her head. She wanted to experience the thrill of killing her enemy with her own hands. The white knife went in, the red knife came out, Lin Shusheng was covered in blood and died. She wanted to laugh wildly!

Having arrived at the Lin residence, Qin Nanyan never intended to leave alive.

Therefore, it doesn't matter who makes the move. Moreover, on their wedding night, Lin Shusheng lowered his guard, making it easier for Qin Nanyan to get close to him and succeed.

Finally, as dusk fell, the guests at the Lin residence dispersed. After having dinner with Old Madam Lin, Lin Shusheng returned to Xiyuan.

"Master, you're back."

There was no news from the Qin family, and Qin Nanyan was getting anxious. If she knew that Old Madam Qin and the others had all passed away, she could smile more naturally.

"Nanyan, please sit down."

Lin Shusheng smiled broadly. His colleagues wanted to see the bride and even threatened to make a ruckus in the bridal chamber. Fearing that Qin Nanyan would be shy, he kicked them all out.

Qin Nanyan served Lin Shusheng a teacup, which he accepted but did not drink.

"Old fox!"

Qin Nanyan sneered inwardly. She hadn't poisoned the wine or tea, but she knew Lin Shusheng wouldn't drink it easily.

Officials valued their lives highly and spent many years in brothels, carefully checking whether the wine and tea contained drugs.

Qin Nanyan didn't want Lin Shusheng to notice her and become wary, so she didn't even consider that possibility.

"Since the master refuses to drink, then Nan Yan will drink it herself first."

Qin Nanyan was parched and hungry, so Lin Shusheng quickly had someone prepare food and sat down beside her, staring at her face.

The girl's shy demeanor was simply beautiful. In comparison, both Madam Qin and Jiao Niang looked like haggard old women. Finally, Lin Shusheng embraced the beauty in his arms, feeling as excited as a young boy.

"Sir, why are you looking at me like that?"

Qin Nanyan wished she could stab Lin Shusheng to death, but she still pretended to be shy and asked.

"There are only the two of us in this bridal chamber. If the master doesn't look at you, who will he look at?"

Lin Shusheng began to show off his local dialect, saying, "There's a saying, 'A beautiful woman is a feast for the eyes.'"

"hehe."

Qin Nanyan gave an awkward smile, almost vomiting.

The man was incredibly shameless. He showed no unease whatsoever in front of Qin's niece, his eyes gleaming with lust, as if he wanted to devour her whole.

"The decorations in the bridal chamber were all prepared according to your preferences. Do you like them, Nan Yan?"

As Lin Shusheng spoke, he walked behind Qin Nanyan and stroked her soft, long hair.

Qin Nanyan shuddered, suppressing her discomfort and resistance, and smiled, "I like it."

"Since you have just arrived at the manor, let the old lady manage the household for now. After you have become familiar with the affairs of the manor, you can take over the management of the household."

Lin Shusheng was biased towards his mother, but his mother's social interactions were like those of an old lady in the village, and she was not very literate and could not understand the account books.

Fortunately, there were no errors in the household's accounts recently, which surprised Lin Shusheng. He specifically asked the steward and learned that Lin Yuesha had been helping with the accounting all along.

His mother is too controlling; she needs to be controlled gradually, and one must not be impatient.

"Alright, I'll do as you say, sir."

Qin Nanyan, unable to contain her excitement, said, "Master, a moment of passion is worth a thousand pieces of gold. Shall we make our arrangements?"

On their wedding night, Lin Shusheng, who had been eagerly anticipating it, immediately responded.

Yu Li helped Lin Shusheng take off his outer robe. Lin Shusheng glanced at her and thought, "Not bad, she's quite pretty. In the future, I'll have beautiful wives and concubines on both sides, and I'll enjoy the blessings of having two women."

Night, quiet.

Red candles burned in the bridal chamber, flickering and dripping with red tears.

Lin Shusheng carried Qin Nanyan to the bed, and the two whispered sweet nothings to each other for a while.

"master……"

Qin Nanyan murmured, having hidden the dagger under the covers beforehand. When she touched the dagger, she revealed a shy smile.

Lin Shusheng was immediately captivated and his mind was filled with ecstasy. He exclaimed, "Nanyan, I have been waiting for this day for a long time..."

You scumbag, die!

The gentle Qin Nanyan from a moment ago suddenly turned ferocious. She grabbed Lin Shusheng's arm, positioned the blade of the dagger at his back, and forcefully plunged it in.
