Mu Jin, the legitimate daughter of a military family, is a woman who is disdained by her husband and driven out of the house. When she returns, she learns that her husband has taken a new lover. On...
Lin Jingtian could see it, and Nan Wenhui could see it too. Now that they were at a disadvantage, she immediately scolded Lin Yueru: "Ru'er, come over here to your grandmother. Don't act up in front of Yi'er."
"Grandmother!" Lin Yueru wanted to object, but seeing Nan Wenhui's gloomy face and her elder brother shaking his head at her, she could only snort in dissatisfaction and retreat behind Nan Wenhui.
Su Yi's lips curled into a cold sneer as he chuckled, "It's not that I'm suspicious, but this matter is truly incomprehensible to me."
"Do you all think that the Lin family is superior to me? Or do you think I can be deceived at will?"
"To say that my Ah Jin would rather be a concubine in your Lin family than be my principal wife and become my queen is such an absurd thing. Do you think I am a three-year-old child who can be easily fooled?"
Although Su Yi spoke casually, everyone present knew that his words were full of sarcasm.
Lin Jingtian glanced at Mu Jin, who was still sobbing in Su Yi's arms, and suddenly smiled slightly.
"Today's events must have been a misunderstanding, causing Miss Mu to suffer. I apologize to Miss Mu on behalf of my sister, and I hope that Miss Mu and Prince Yi will not hold it against you."
"Big brother!" Lin Yueru was shocked that her big brother would apologize to a despicable person like Mu Jin. She was anxious and called out in dissatisfaction.
But she was glared at coldly by Lin Jingtian, and she could only reluctantly shut her mouth. However, her gaze towards Mu Jin was filled with jealousy and hatred. She wished she could go up and tear Mu Jin's disguise off right now.
Mu Jin lifted herself from Su Yi's arms, glanced at Lin Jingtian, and said with a slight sob, "Since Lord Lin has said so, how dare I disobey?"
He said this reluctantly, as if he dared not disobey.
This reignited Lin Yueru's anger, and Lin Jingtian was also taken aback, giving Mu Jin a meaningful look.
Just as he was about to say a few more words to Mu Jin, Su Yi suddenly turned to the side, blocking Mu Jin from view. This domineering possessiveness made Lin Jingtian shut his mouth.
"It seems that the Lin family's banquet today was not out of sincerity, but rather a deliberate attempt to make things difficult for my people." Su Yi glanced at the three members of the Lin family.
Although his gaze seemed ordinary, a closer look revealed a chill that went straight to the bone.
Su Yi continued, "Now that my men have been frightened quite a bit by you, they will not linger here."
Lin Jingtian wanted to say a few more words of advice. Although the Lin family had secretly hunted down Su Yi countless times, they still had to put on a show. After all, the throne of the Southern Shu Kingdom still belonged to Su Yi's maternal grandfather, and signs indicated that Emperor Gaozong of the Southern Shu Kingdom was very likely to pass the throne to Su Yi.
Therefore, before the overall situation is settled, the Lin family members are at most just subjects in front of Su Yi.
Yesterday, he received news that Nan Wenhui had hosted a banquet for Su Yi on behalf of Lin Yueru. He thought that Nan Wenhui just wanted to expedite the marriage between Su Yi and Lin Yueru. Although he knew that this was impossible, he still held onto hope.
So he had someone wait at the gate today, so that he could greet Su Yi when he arrived.
To his surprise, when he arrived, he discovered it was nothing more than a quarrel between women over a man. Thinking of this, he glared fiercely at Lin Yueru again.
Lin Yueru feared neither heaven nor earth, but she was most afraid of her elder brother in front of her. Seeing the warning in Lin Jingtian's eyes, she had no choice but to speak to Su Yi.
"Brother Yi, don't be angry. It's all a misunderstanding. It's all Ru'er's fault. When you come again another day, Ru'er will definitely treat you to a good meal."
Su Yi looked at Lin Yueru and sneered, "I'm afraid I'm not fortunate enough to enjoy it."
After Su Yi finished speaking, he turned around and put his arm around Mu Jin's waist to leave together. However, after taking only two steps, he suddenly stopped and glanced at the three of them with a half-smile.
"Mu Jin is my person. I hope that similar difficulties will not occur again in the future, otherwise don't blame me for not considering my grandfather's feelings!"
After delivering the warning, Su Yi and Mu Jin left without looking back.
Lin Yueru almost bit her lip until it bled as she looked at Lin Jingtian.
"Big brother, that bitch actually lied to Brother Yi in front of me and Grandmother, falsely accusing us. This matter cannot be left like this!"
"Shut up!" Lin Jingtian's eyes were icy cold, and he glared at her like a sharp blade, warning, "I'll let you off this time for instigating your grandmother to embarrass Mu Jin with you."
"If there is a next time, and it is because of your ridiculous and laughable jealousy that you anger Su Yi, causing him to harbor resentment towards our Lin family and bringing harm to our Lin family, I will absolutely not let you off easily!"
Seeing Lin Jingtian reprimanding Lin Yueru with a gloomy expression, Nan Wenhui quickly stood in front of Lin Yueru to protect her.
"Jing Tian, don't scold your sister like that. Ru'er also wants to be with Su Yi. This way, we can find out Su Yi's every move, which will be beneficial to our Lin family's important affairs!"
Lin Jingtian looked at Nan Wenhui, then turned to Lin Yueru and snorted coldly: "Grandmother, she's being unreasonable, and you're being unreasonable with her too. With her pig brain, it's good enough if she doesn't cause trouble for our Lin family, but she still wants to go to Su Yi's side to get information."
“If she doesn’t rein in her temper and you continue to spoil her and let her run wild, one day we won’t even know how she killed our Lin family.”
After saying that, Lin Jingtian turned around and left.
Lin Yueru dared not argue back after being reprimanded by Lin Jingtian, while Nan Wenhui felt embarrassed after being spoken to like that by her grandson.
The hatred between the grandfather and grandson for Mu Jin only deepened further.
Lin Yueru, in particular, felt a sharp pain in her heart as she watched Su Yi and Mu Jin leave.
Since birth, she has been showered with love and affection, confident in her beauty and noble birth. Noble men from aristocratic families lined up to pursue her from the Lin family mansion to the gates of Bianliang city, but she never found a man she was interested in.
She finally found Su Yi, who captured her heart, only to have him seduced by Mu Jin, a divorced woman. How could she possibly tolerate this?
Lin Yueru clenched her fists, speaking bitterly to Nan Wenhui, as if she were talking to herself.
"I swear! From this day forward, I will make Mu Jinlu wish she were dead if she ever falls into my hands!"
