Chapter 245 Acting Until You Cry
The moment Du Qian turned around, his expression suddenly turned cold.
He followed General Chu to the outside of the dungeon and bowed to General Chu, saying:
"Thank you, General Chu, for your help and for giving Qi'an a sharp blade."
Shen Zhaoxu helped Du Qian'an up and said, "No need to thank me, you and I are in the same boat. Helping you is helping me."
"But are you planning to conceal Lin Jiaojiao's background and let her mistakenly believe that she and you are siblings from the same mother?"
Du Qian nodded and said, "General Chu is right. I was planning to do just that."
"If I tell Lin Jiaojiao her true identity now, she will no longer be a sharp blade in my hand but a knife stabbing into my heart!"
"If used properly, Lin Jiaojiao will become a nightmare for Liang and his mother."
Shen Zhao looked towards the dungeon.
"Master Du might as well start instilling in Lin Jiaojiao that her biological mother was bewitched by the adopted son who exchanged identities with her.
Let her mistakenly believe that her biological mother is unwilling to recognize her because she is ignorant of the truth and has been bewitched. Then there will be a good show to watch."
Lin Jiaojiao will try her best to prove her identity.
Perhaps Du Qian'an doesn't need to take action. With Lin Jiaojiao's temperament and white lotus nature, she can make the Liang mother and son overwhelmed.
"General Chu and I have the same idea. Not only that, I also want her to have complete faith in me."
The two looked at each other and walked towards the dungeon again.
Lin Jiaojiao, who was anxiously waiting for what felt like an eternity, almost collapsed when she saw Chen Zhao and Du Qian'an appear.
Crying with joy.
"Brother...Brother...Jiaojiao thought you didn't recognize me..."
With every passing moment, her heart sank.
If her brother really left, her life would be over and there would be no hope for her anymore.
Du Qian'an's eyes were slightly red and he was very excited. He quickly stepped forward to comfort her:
"Don't be afraid, Jiaojiao, it's my fault. I shouldn't have doubted your identity.
I shouldn't have found you just now. Jiaojiao, don't blame your brother.
It’s not that my brother doesn’t want to come find you, nor is it that my brother doesn’t want to recognize you just now.
After all, your appearance is too shocking to your brother, because he only has one younger brother and no younger sisters.
No baby has been born in the mansion in these years.
There has been no news of any missing offspring.”
After speaking, Du Qi'an quickly asked Chen Zhao:
"The Miss Lin imprisoned in General Chu's cell is my biological sister who was mistakenly taken away for many years.
I beg General Chu to spare my sister for my sake. I apologize to you on Jiaojiao's behalf."
As he spoke, he bowed with both hands and saluted Shen Zhao.
Lin Jiaojiao was moved by what she saw. This was her good brother who was related to her by blood.
"Brother Jiaojiao doesn't blame you. You and your parents were kept in the dark by the thieves. It's not you and your parents who are wrong. It's those heartless and filthy people in the Lin family."
Du Qianan said to Lin Jiaojiao with pity:
"Jiaojiao, stop talking. It's all your brother's fault."
"It was my brother who failed to protect you. I am five years older than you. If I had known that you were stolen, you wouldn't have been stranded outside for so many years.
Jiaojiao, you have suffered a lot. From now on, your brother will support you. Your happiness is yet to come."
Chen Zhao looked at Du Qian'an, who was a talented singer and songwriter, and his eyes that were about to cry but he was trying hard not to cry in front of his sister.
It really makes people feel sad!
This guy can really act.
In order to make it more realistic and move Lin Jiaojiao, Shen Zhao decided to add fuel to the fire.
Her face was icy and her tone was cold. "Master Du, do you know what your sister has done wrong? She is begging me to let her go!"
Du Qi'an said without hesitation: "No matter what mistakes Jiaojiao made, I am willing to take full responsibility for her."
"She is my sister. She has been missing for many years and has suffered a lot. I am willing to spend the rest of my life making up for her."
"General Chu, feel free to ask for anything you want. As long as you can release Jiaojiao, I'm willing to do anything."
Du Qian'an had a heroic expression as if he was ready to die.
Even though Lin Jiaojiao was heartless, she was still moved.
This was the first time she was pampered and cared for like this, and the first time someone was willing to go through fire and water for her.
She completely forgot what Lin Feihu had done for her over the years.
"Brother... wuwu... Jiaojiao thought that no one in this world cared about my life or death anymore."
"Jiaojiao will definitely repay her brother after she gets out."
No matter how touched she was, she would not stop her brother from agreeing to Brother Mu's conditions.
Because she wanted to get out, to leave this damn cell.
Restore her identity as a daughter of a wealthy family and live the life she deserves.
She will make it up to her brother in the future. She will remember all the injustices her brother suffered today and will never forget them.
"Jiaojiao, don't say that. You are my sister, and as a brother, I should do anything for you."
"Even if I have to sacrifice my life, I won't give anything as long as I can keep you healthy."
Du Qian'an's words completely made Lin Jiaojiao recognize him as her brother.
Seeing that the fire was almost ready, Chen Zhao said in a calm voice:
"Since Lord Du is willing to go through fire and water for your sister, I will grant your wish."
"I won't ask for much, and I won't let Lord Du go through fire and water. Lin Jiaojiao has cheated a lot of money from my family over the years."
"She also secretly sold a lot of things from my house. If Lord Du is willing to compensate me with 500,000 silver taels, I will agree to let Lin Jiaojiao go."
Lin Jiaojiao's body stiffened. Five hundred thousand silver taels must be a huge pile of silver!
no!
I can’t give Brother Mu so much.
Her brother's money also belongs to her.
The amount of silver she received from the general's mansion in the past two years did not exceed 150,000 taels.
No... not even 100,000 taels.
Lin Jiaojiao said anxiously, "Brother Mu, Jiaojiao has spent less than tens of thousands of taels since entering the mansion. Considering our past relationship, could you please ask for less?"
She is now the daughter of a wealthy family, and she will come back when she can recognize her ancestors.
Chu Mu is her obsession, and she must get him.
Shen Zhao glanced at Lin Jiaojiao with disgust.
She is really a bitch. She actually has improper thoughts about Chu Mu.
"Lin Jiaojiao, look what this is!"
Shen Zhao took out two lists from his arms.
She handed it to Du Qian'an and said, "Master Du, please read it to your sister."
Du Qian'an took the list suspiciously and began to read it.
"Danggui, Astragalus, Rehmannia..." These were the herbs she bought from the pharmacy clerk when she followed Lin Jiaojiao to buy medicinal herbs.
Every time Du Qian'an read out the date and type of medicinal ingredients, Lin Jiaojiao's face became uglier.
These are her records of using medicinal herbs!
What did Brother Mu take out these for!
If her brother knew about the dirty things she had done, would he look down on her?
So shameful!
She was not a person who was greedy for money. She was just preparing her dowry for marrying Brother Mu.
She couldn't let her brother misunderstand her.
"Brother, stop reading and listen to my explanation..."
Chen Zhao interrupted Lin Jiaojiao directly, "Lin Jiaojiao, are you scared? Why don't you let Lord Du read it? Are you afraid that Lord Du will know what kind of person you are?"
"I wonder if Master Du will still treat you like his precious sister after learning about your past."
Lin Jiaojiao's heart skipped a beat. Seeing this, a hint of satisfaction appeared in Chen Zhao's eyes. It was great that the fish had taken the bait.
