Chapter 288: Don't Accept Fate
Yeah, where else could she go?
The Qi family, which had long been occupied by an illegitimate child, was no longer her home.
If those uncles and aunts knew about this, it would be good enough if they didn't laugh at her, let alone lend a hand or two.
Given Luo Dacheng's character, he would definitely not agree to a divorce, and the only option he had was divorce.
Once divorced, her dowry would be completely withheld, leaving her penniless.
As a weak woman, she could hardly take a single step in this world without any money, not to mention being labeled as a person who brought bad luck to her husband.
Even if the Luo family did nothing, no one in the border town would dare to hire her. Without money, how could it be easy to start over in another place?
Madam Luo asked, "Princess, am I losing face as a woman by living such a pathetic life?"
Song Yanxi didn't try to persuade her, but instead lowered her eyes to look at the swaddled baby, sighed softly, and said, "If you don't really think that way, why bother to say such things on purpose to anger me?"
"Princess, you..."
"Every word you just said tells me that you refuse to accept your fate."
Hearing the hurried footsteps outside, Song Yanxi suddenly looked up and met Mrs. Luo's eyes, which were slightly panicked because her secret thoughts were discovered.
He said word by word, "If you don't try, how can you know that the current dilemma is unbreakable?"
Without waiting for Mrs. Luo to speak, she continued, "Madam, there's no need to rush to refuse. Think about it carefully when you get back. It won't be too late to get back to me."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door.
Xi Lin carefully brought in a bowl of steaming goat milk, and he was so nervous that he almost couldn't move his hands or feet.
If you didn’t know, you would think that what he was holding in his hands was not goat milk, but a newborn baby.
After taking a sip of warm goat milk, the baby who was originally crying weakly stopped crying immediately and waited obediently for the next sip.
The skin of a newborn baby is red and wrinkled, and it looks like a big mouse. It is really not good-looking.
But that little one inexplicably makes people feel soft-hearted.
"This child..." Xi Lin smiled helplessly and reached out to touch the little guy's face, but was glared at by Song Yanxi.
He hurriedly explained, "I just took my hand out of my sleeve. It's warm."
Song Yanxi frowned and said without refusing, "That won't do either. It will scare the child again."
Xi Lin withdrew his hand awkwardly, and his sparkling peach blossom eyes seemed to lose their luster in an instant.
Seeing how pitiful he looked, Madam Luo calmly tugged at Song Yanxi's sleeve and chuckled, "Doctor Xi is so considerate. He will definitely be a good husband and father in the future."
A good husband and a good father?
Just him?
Song Yanxi raised an eyebrow, glanced at the anxious Xi Lin, and spoke for him: "Doctor Xi is still a child himself, it must be too early for him to get married."
Xi Lin nodded hurriedly and said "OK" three times in a row.
It can be seen that he is really not in a hurry.
Thinking that the child would soon need diapers, swaddles, and other things, Mrs. Luo hurriedly said, "I'll go back and get some things they can use. I'll leave this here to you two."
Before she left, she looked at Song Yanxi meaningfully, but left without saying anything.
As soon as the other person left, Xi Lin approached Song Yanxi and asked with a smile, "What kind of eyebrow lawsuit are you two having?"
"I don't understand what you are saying." Song Yanxi began to untie the straps of the baby's swaddling clothes without raising her head.
Xi Lin was about to speak when she suddenly asked, "Do you have a handkerchief with you?"
"Well, don't you women always carry several handkerchiefs with you when you go out?"
"Who are you talking nonsense to? Why are you carrying so many handkerchiefs?"
"Of course..." Xi Lin stopped talking halfway.
He pointed with a trembling finger at the handkerchief she had placed under the little one's butt as a diaper and asked, "Do you know how much this handkerchief made of silk costs?"
Song Yanxi hesitated for a moment and said, "It's fake."
"What fake? I spent ten taels of silver to buy it!"
As Xi Lin said this, he was about to reach out to grab it.
When he saw Song Yanxi's eyes that looked as if she was looking at an enemy, he seemed to understand something in a flash.
The Yan family is the largest merchant in Anguo and also the imperial merchant. As the granddaughter of Mr. Yan, she has seen all the good things in nature since she was a child.
Since she said this thing is fake, it must not be true.
Xi Lin retracted his hand, gnashed his teeth, and said, "This Baibao Pavilion actually dared to deceive me with fake goods, and even shamelessly said that if it's fake, I'll compensate you ten times. I'll see if I don't destroy their reputation!"
Song Yanxi wrapped the child up swiftly, glanced at him and said, "There's no need to run far. The owner of Baibao Pavilion is currently at this clinic."
Xi Lin's eyes suddenly widened, and he blurted out, "The Yan family is actually selling fake goods!"
If she wasn't holding the child in her arms, Song Yanxi really wanted to open his head and see what was inside.
Afraid that everyone would hear him yelling and it would damage the Yan family's reputation, she asked, "What's my last name?"
How could someone from the Song family be the owner of the Yan family shop?
Xi Lin said without hesitation: "Of course it's the surname Song. Are you going to change it to your mother's surname?"
He didn't mean to say it, but the listener took it to heart.
Song Yanxi's eyes flashed, "That's a good idea!"
"Are you serious?"
Seeing that she didn't seem to be joking, Xi Lin thought seriously about the feasibility and said, "If your father died suddenly of a serious illness, it is possible that your mother would take you home.
If you need help, I can help you."
If he said this to anyone other than Song Yanxi, he would be beaten half to death and then cursed for his ancestors.
What kind of good person would want to kill someone else's father?
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Xi Lin said again: "Don't worry, I do things very cleanly and efficiently. I will make sure that he dies quietly and that no one can find any clues.
And the four members of the Lianyuan family, since they loved each other so much when they were alive, they should be reunited as a family in the afterlife."
Song Yanxi raised her eyes and looked at him, with a hint of inquiry clearly in her cold eyes.
Xi Lin raised an eyebrow and asked, "You're not reluctant to let go of this ungrateful father who abandoned his wife and children, are you?"
Song Yanxi suddenly chuckled, "I'm afraid you'll get your hands dirty."
Hearing this, Xi Lin also smiled, "I said that with your personality, you would definitely not do anything to make your mother sad. I really was right about you."
Song Yanxi nodded, but her eyes suddenly became sharp.
She stared at Xi Lin without blinking and asked, "How many people have you killed?"
"Killed...people?" Xi Lin paused and said, "Maybe about ten. I killed too many to remember."
Anyone who is not blind can see how guilty he is at the moment from the evasive look in his eyes.
With his condition, he wouldn't be able to kill anyone, let alone a chicken.
Catching a hint of smile in her eyes, Xi Lin became unhappy and asked with a frown, "Who are you looking down on?"
Song Yanxi: "No."
"Don't be so stubborn, I saw it with my own eyes."
Xi Lin became angrier the more he thought about it. He rolled up his sleeves and said, "If there weren't anyone who deserved to die right now, I'd kill one right here and show you."
He spoke with great confidence, as if he really had experience.
But the next moment, he couldn't laugh anymore.
Because he heard Song Yanxi say: "How could there be no?
I happen to have a notorious killer over there. Do you want to go first by yourself, or wait for me?"
