Chapter 579: For Your Own Good
Jiang Lin and Qin Xiangnuan have been busy with their own things these days, and there has been less communication between them. This can be seen from the fact that Jiang Lin is unaware of the current progress of Nuan Yang's condition.
Therefore, Qin Xiangnuan knew nothing about some of the things Jiang Lin had found out in recent days.
Qin Xiangnuan didn't know that Jiang Lin had found out his mother's identity and learned some secret things. This incident also made Jiang Lin waver in his belief in the relationship between the two of them.
Jiang Lin didn't intend to let anyone else know all this. He wanted to continue investigating until he got the whole truth from Fan Zhengde.
Before this, Jiang Lin had no intention of getting any closer to Qin Xiangnuan.
As a result, the intentional alienation between the two was noticed by everyone around them.
"Miss Qin, Prince Jiang must be very busy now. I haven't seen him in a while. Has Miss Qin seen him?"
The weirdness between Qin Xiangnuan and Jiang Lin even made Boss Jiang, who could be called a blockhead, come and inquire about it.
Qin Xiangnuan glanced at him and said casually: "If you want to see him, you can go find him yourself."
Boss Jiang waved his hand and said, "Never mind, I was just asking casually."
Qin Xiangnuan did not respond, and also did not answer whether Boss Jiang had seen Jiang Lin recently.
Boss Jiang didn't ask any more questions. Qin Xiangnuan obviously didn't want to say anything. He continued to wait. He still had to feed Nuan Yang the medicine later, which was not an easy task.
Fortunately, after a few days of observation, they realized that Nuan Yang was allergic to a certain medicinal ingredient. After Qin Xiangnuan removed that medicine and coaxed Nuan Yang, he was able to reluctantly drink it.
It will just take a few days for the warm sun to adapt and stop resisting.
After waiting for a while, Jiang Lao San left with the medicine bowl, leaving Qin Xiangnuan standing there alone, not knowing what she was thinking.
Qin Xiangnuan was counting the days. Boss Jiang had just said it had been a long time, but Qin Xiangnuan calculated and realized it was only three days.
"It's been three days and you still haven't figured it out! Even if I give you another hundred three days, I'm afraid your old-fashioned brain still won't be able to figure it out." Qin Xiangnuan murmured.
At this moment, the head that Qin Xiangnuan labeled as "old-fashioned" was turning rapidly, trying to tell the truth from the falsehood in Fan Zhengde's words.
"Young Master, you still don't believe me even now?" Fan Zhengde said after coughing a few times.
"Is there anything about you that makes me trustworthy?" Jiang Lin's eyes were fierce, and it seemed as if there was a knife hidden in his eyes when he looked at Fan Zhengde.
"Sir, what you said chills my heart." Fan Zhengde laughed softly.
"Do you have any intention?" Jiang Lin pointed out mercilessly, "You keep saying you're doing this for my own good, but look at me, every single thing you do isn't just for your own pleasure."
Jiang Lin already knew at this time that Fan Zhengde was not his uncle. Fan Zhengde was just a person his uncle rescued and raised since childhood.
And what Fan Zhengde saw after taking little Jiang Lin out of the palace made him feel a sense of intimacy for no reason. The person holding the pot of flowers was his biological uncle.
Unfortunately, his uncle disappeared without a trace afterwards. Jiang Lin now recalled that Fan Zhengde started to distance himself from little Jiang Lin after his uncle disappeared.
Fan Zhengde, however, believed that he had done his best for Jiang Lin and had never done anything to truly hurt Jiang Lin.
So now that Jiang Lin actually said this to him, how could Fan Zhengde admit it? He looked at Jiang Lin disappointedly, "Sir, may I ask if you have seen how happy I am?"
Jiang Lin frowned. He couldn't tell from Fan Zhengde's expression, but he always did things neatly and without any rules. If it wasn't for the desire to have a quick fix, Jiang Lin couldn't guess why.
In short, Jiang Lin couldn't tell that Fan Zhengde was doing this for his own good. However, after hearing what Fan Zhengde said next, Jiang Lin had a little understanding of why Fan Zhengde said that.
Fan Zhengde said to Jiang Lin, "Sir, when you were a child, Brother Yun asked me to take good care of you and protect you in the palace, and I did so."
Jiang Lin did not deny this point. Fan Zhengde really did these things.
Jiang Lin heard Fan Zhengde continue, "Brother Yun said he wanted to see you that time, so I risked my life to bring you out of the palace. After returning, I was punished, but did I cause the young master to suffer any crime?"
If Fan Zhengde hadn't mentioned this matter, Jiang Lin would never have remembered it.
Jiang Lin only remembered the scene when he met Brother Yun, as Fan Zhengde called him, that is, Jiang Lin's uncle Ling Yun, and it was all vague, and he didn't remember what happened afterwards at all.
But at this moment, after Fan Zhengde's words, bits and pieces of memories slowly pieced together. He vaguely remembered that time after Fan Zhengde was punished, he lay in bed for half a month, but he was safe and sound.
Jiang Lin was now puzzled. Could this be the reason why Fan Zhengde distanced himself from him? He had caused him to be punished.
However, as Fan Zhengde continued to tell the story, Jiang Lin understood that it was not the case. What really made Fan Zhengde do this was related to Ling Yun.
"When I didn't see Brother Yun that day, I knew that something must have happened to him. I thought about just leaving the young master there and going to look for Brother Yun myself, but I didn't do that."
When Fan Zhengde said this, Jiang Lin could feel the deep regret emanating from Fan Zhengde, and could also sense Fan Zhengde's resentment towards him.
Jiang Lin didn't say anything. He had never known these things, and after such a long time, Jiang Lin could not feel too sad except for feeling sorry for Ling Yun.
At this moment, Fan Zhengde continued, "After that, you continued to grow up peacefully in the palace, but did you suffer any humiliation?"
Jiang Lin blinked when Fan Zhengde glared at him. What they thought was 'good' was different.
Fan Zhengde thought that being able to do this was the limit of what he could do to be "good" to Jiang Lin, and he didn't consider whether Jiang Lin needed it or whether he thought so.
Even today, more than ten years later, Fan Zhengde still has this idea.
"I went to great lengths to sow discord between the Ninth Prince and that thief Li, but weren't they the ones who threatened you? I left the Ninth Prince here because you didn't want the throne, didn't you?"
Jiang Lin listened to Fan Zhengde's questions and opened his mouth. He never thought that the current situation was all because of him. It was too ridiculous.
Thinking of this, Jiang Lin also laughed out loud, which made Fan Zhengde frown deeply.
"You still don't believe me." Fan Zhengde said affirmatively.
Jiang Lin shook his head and said, "I believe what you said is true."
Fan Zhengde's frown relaxed a little, and then he asked, "Then why are you laughing?"
"I laugh..." Jiang Lin spoke slowly, and said to Fan Zhengde word by word, "This is just your delusion."
