Chapter 380 Lin Yu's Methods
Jiang Fenghua said, "I may have found your sister. She is looking for you everywhere. You have relatives, not just us. You also have a sister who loves you and cares about you and has been looking for you. Her name is Daya, and she has been looking for her younger sister, Erya."
Lin Yu's body stiffened. She had forgotten her own name. However, in the dead of night, when she felt lonely, she would dream of that name again. There was a girl holding her hand beside her, and they kept walking forward, not knowing where they were going. She never saw the girl's face clearly.
Lin Yu stared into her eyes. "Who is she?"
“Aoxue, Qin Aoxue, she is also called Qin Daya, her younger sister is called Qin Erya, your surname is Qin, not Lin.”
Lin Yu smiled. No wonder she never rejected Ao Xue and even liked her very much. It turned out that they were really sisters.
"Young master, I have a gift for you. I'll take you to see it," Lin Yu suddenly said. "Before you see it, wear a mask so she doesn't know who you are, otherwise it won't be a good look." Even if it meant the sisters had to recognize each other, she wanted Jiang Fenghua to see Su Tingwan's fate.
Lin Yu put the mask on Jiang Fenghua's face before leading her to the secret room.
Jiang Jinyan had already gone inside alone after hearing the commotion inside.
What he saw shocked him. A man and a woman were chained up separately. They were even disheveled and seemed to have no tongues, unable to speak. They were just babbling and calling for help.
Jiang Jinyan recognized the woman as Su Tingwan, but who was the man? His hair was cut like a dog chewed it. Who did that? Was it Lin Yu?
The man's face was not good-looking, he was big and burly, and with that kind of hair, he looked even worse, the more you looked at him, the uglier he became.
They were locked in a secret room, unaware of what had happened, and seemed somewhat mentally unstable.
Lin Yu explained, "That's the man Su Tingwan likes. I gave her my blessing and let them be together in the end."
Jiang Fenghua couldn't recognize the man. "What's his relationship with her?"
Lin Yu leaned close to Jiang Fenghua's ear and whispered, "They've liked each other in both their past and present lives. Fenghua, guess who he is."
Jiang Fenghua was completely confused, but after looking closely, she could see clearly, "This person is the prince who infiltrated the palace with Su Xuan to rebel, but he was killed by Commander Gao himself, and his body has not been found since." She didn't believe that Lin Yu could break into the palace and take them away.
At that moment, she felt that there was something Lin Yu hadn't told her. This man hadn't died and had even rescued Su Tingwan. Could it be that Su Tingwan and he had known each other for a long time? Su Tingwan grew up on the frontier, and this man was a prince of the Hu tribe. It wasn't surprising that they had known each other since childhood.
But with so many pursuers, how did they manage to escape the palace so precisely?
What does Lin Yu mean by "past lives and present lives"?
Lin Yu continued, "He really likes Su Tingwan. He'd do anything for her. I've never seen such genuine affection in my life. But Su Tingwan doesn't seem to like him. Maybe he's too ugly now! She still prefers his former pretty boy look."
In her previous life, Jiang Fenghua had no idea that Su Tingwan and Ji Chen were having an affair. It was only Ji Chen who brought it up, and Lin Yu happened to overhear it.
Seeing that she still hadn't guessed, Lin Yu leaned closer and explained in a voice only the two of them could hear, "He is Ji Chen. It was Ji Chen who came back from the dead and saved Su Tingwan from escaping the palace. I happened to see him."
Jiang Fenghua was stunned after hearing this; her mind raced...
Hearing Lin Yu say this, she seemed to understand now. Isn't this what it means to be someone who has died and come back to life? This strange thing happened to her, so she didn't find it strange.
Ji Chen also came back to life, and was reborn in this man's body. Then they escaped, but Lin Yu caught up with them, captured them, and locked them up.
Lin Yu opened the door, handed a dagger to Su Tingwan, and said coldly, "Kill him and I'll let you go. Whether you want to live or stay here with him and be inseparable is up to you."
She knew that every time Ji Chen was intimate with her over the past few months, Su Tingwan would feel uncomfortable, but she had no choice but to agree because they both wanted to escape back to the border and become princes and princesses among the Hu people.
She revealed her true face to them, unable to bear it any longer. They knew they couldn't escape and wanted to kill her, but how could she let them? So she chained them up.
Su Tingwan gripped the dagger defensively. She hated the man in front of her. Being with him made her feel nauseous. It was he who insisted on having sex with her.
He said he couldn't remember how they were together in their past life. He said he was Ji Chen, and that Ji Chen was better looking than him.
She seemed to hate him to the core, wanting only to shout "I don't like you," but she couldn't bring herself to say it. All she wanted to do was plunge the dagger in her hand into the man's chest.
The man shook his head desperately, trying to speak but unable to. "Wanwan, I am Ji Chen, the one you love most! Don't listen to her attempts to sow discord."
Lin Yu then handed the man a dagger, saying, "If you slash her face, I might let you go."
The man gripped the dagger and lunged at Lin Yu, but Lin Yu stomped his hand to the ground. The dagger then pierced the back of the man's hand, causing him excruciating pain that prevented him from even screaming.
"I gave you a chance, but you gave it up. I didn't expect you to like Su Tingwan so much," Lin Yu said coldly.
Ji Chen roared, wanting to hurl insults at her, but he couldn't utter a single word.
Lin Yu was afraid they would have dirty mouths, so she poisoned them to make them mute, and even then, she didn't feel satisfied and cut off their tongues.
She already knew from Ji Chen how they had bullied Jiang Fenghua and her two children; what they were suffering now was just a small interest.
She wanted them to kill each other in front of Jiang Fenghua.
Jiang Jinyan suddenly spoke up to stop her, "Lin Yu, what are you doing? What happened that you're torturing them like this?"
He then asked, "Ruan Ruan, why did Lin Yu do this? What did she tell you? What are you hiding from me?"
Jiang Fenghua said, "Brother, don't worry about it. This person is the Hu prince who entered the palace that night to help Su Xuan rebel. He probably likes Su Tingwan, so he rescued her from the palace." That was the only explanation she could offer.
Jiang Jinyan was stunned and couldn't understand it. "Even so, why hand him over to the authorities? What personal grudge does Lin Yu have against him? Why would they lock them up here and torture them?"
He looked at Jiang Fenghua, who stood to the side, almost unmoved. "My sister is definitely not this cold-blooded and heartless. Even if Su Tingwan was the Crown Prince's former love, all that is in the past. Now the Crown Prince loves you. She is in this state and there is no way she can go back to compete with you for his favor."
Lin Yu said in a deep voice, "Young Master, you don't know..."
"Brother, please go back to the carriage first!" Jiang Fenghua said. "I'm sorry, I don't know how to explain all this."
She thought Lin Yu had only detained Su Tingwan, and that given Lin Yu's temper, Su Tingwan should have been tortured to death by Lin Yu long ago. But now Ji Chen has appeared, and she doesn't know how to explain all of this.
At this moment, Su Tingwan turned her head and stared in Jiang Fenghua's direction. Her eyes blazed with anger, and she wanted to kill Jiang Fenghua, but she was powerless. She managed to mumble the word "bitch" with all her might, but she never expected to see Jiang Fenghua again. Jiang Fenghua was the master behind this woman.
Jiang Fenghua walked up to her, removed the mask from her face, and Su Tingwan was visibly horrified. She was tightly gripping a dagger in her hand, and she was making a gesture as if she wanted to stab Jiang Fenghua with the dagger.
However, she concealed a sharp hairpin in her other hand, preparing to make her move after careful consideration.
