Chapter 580 A Strange Story
Fan Zhengde did not understand the meaning behind Jiang Lin's words. He only believed that Jiang Lin did not believe him.
Therefore, Fan Zhengde was angry, and in Fan Zhengde's eyes, Jiang Lin's identity as the prince was not important.
Because Ling Yun is Jiang Lin's uncle, and Fan Zhengde regards Ling Yun as his elder brother, Fan Zhengde also looks at Jiang Lin as an elder.
As if he were teaching a lesson to an unfilial son, Fan Zhengde pointed at Jiang Lin and said, "Since you don't believe me, don't come to me to ask about what happened back then. Everything I said is a lie anyway."
Jiang Lin didn't want to argue with Fan Zhengde about whether to believe it or not, because Fan Zhengde wouldn't understand.
"I know about my uncle, you will definitely not lie to me." Jiang Lin grasped Fan Zhengde's lifeline in an instant, leaving Fan Zhengde speechless.
The reason why Fan Zhengde stepped into the palace, a place of trouble, was entirely because of Ling Yun's words.
At that time, it was exactly one month after Jiang Lin's mother Ling Shuang died.
When Ling Yun came back from outside and heard the news, he was so sad and angry that he almost fainted.
"Brother Yun loved his sister the most. He went through countless hardships to get her away from that hellish place. Who would have thought that not long after they got out, his beloved sister would do such a shameless thing."
Jiang Lin could hear from Fan Zhengde's words that he had no intention of hiding his disgust for his mother, even though the biological son of the person he called sister Ling Yun was standing in front of him. Fan Zhengde still did so.
Jiang Lin opened his mouth to remind Fan Zhengde, who saw him and sneered.
"Why, you can't stand it anymore?" Fan Zhengde asked. "If you can't stand it anymore, just leave. I won't stop you."
Jiang Lin then closed his lips.
Jiang Lin also knew why Fan Zhengde described Jiang Lin's mother in this way.
The emperor had never given his mother a legitimate status. He was born in the wilderness as Fan Zhengde said, and was seen by others. Isn't that shameless?
But others could think this way, and as a son, Jiang Lin couldn't stand hearing others say this.
But at this moment, Jiang Lin wanted to know more, so he could only remain silent and listen to Fan Zhengde continue.
"Come to think of it, I was the first person to hold you after you were born." Fan Zhengde said to Jiang Lin.
Jiang Lin raised his eyes and met Fan Zhengde's gaze, but he didn't feel that the other party was happy about this matter.
"Brother Yun looked at the little baby and didn't want to touch it at all, but he loved little babies very much. So, I had to hold you while Brother Yun looked at you like that."
Jiang Lin listened to the heartwarming scene described by Fan Zhengde, but as the person in the painting, he did not feel the slightest bit.
"How did my mother die?" Jiang Lin listened to Fan Zhengde's story and felt that it must be a long one and he was reluctant to listen to it, so he directly asked Fan Zhengde what he wanted to hear the most.
Fan Zhengde put away the smile on his face that was brought by such warm memories, and said to Jiang Lin in a cold voice: "Don't you want to know how much Brother Yun loves you?"
Jiang Lin's eyes flashed. From Fan Zhengde's words, Jiang Lin knew that Ling Yun loved him, but Jiang Lin had no memory of it. So what if he knew it now? He had no feelings.
For him, knowing more would only make him develop unnecessary greed.
"You will make Brother Yun feel heartbroken." Fan Zhengde said.
Jiang Lin was silent.
Fan Zhengde closed his eyes, hiding the turmoil in his heart and eyes, and then continued in a cold voice.
This time, Fan Zhengde told the whole story, which was different from what Jiang Lin had found out before, and there were many more things that Jiang Lin didn't know.
"Are those rumors true?" Jiang Lin asked.
Fan Zhengde immediately knew who Jiang Lin was asking about.
"I'm not from the clan either. I've also heard Brother Yun talk about it, but he doesn't want me to know more." Fan Zhengde felt a little sad when he said this. He knew that Ling Yun did this to protect him.
If you know too much about some things, your orders may lead to your own death.
"But you must have found out later." Jiang Lin said affirmatively.
Fan Zhengde didn't deny it. How could he not investigate it? This matter was related to Ling Yun's death. He would definitely get to the bottom of it and avenge Ling Yun.
"Why should I tell you?" Fan Zhengde said coldly.
"Since you've told me all this," Jiang Lin said, "I also want revenge."
"Your mother was killed by Concubine Zhen. She is dead now, and your revenge has been avenged." Fan Zhengde did not give in immediately.
"Others may not know, but you should know that Concubine Zhen was just the final link in my mother's death. Both my mother and my uncle were killed by people from their clan."
However, Jiang Lin only had a vague understanding of the affairs of this clan. Only with the help of Fan Zhengde could he quickly understand the situation and dispel his concerns.
Originally, Fan Zhengde was touched by Jiang Lin's words, but then a thought flashed through his mind.
"You are not doing this just for two people you have only met a few times, right?" Fan Zhengde's mind suddenly became clear.
"You want to find your clansmen because of the daughter of the Qin Guang family, right?"
After Fan Zhengde finished speaking, he stared at Jiang Lin closely, as if he wanted to see through him.
Jiang Lin stood there openly and admitted without any hesitation, "She is also partly responsible."
Fan Zhengde frowned, but finally accepted Jiang Lin's motive.
"I advise you, if you want revenge, you can do it, but if you want both of you to live, that's impossible."
"How can you know the final result if you don't try?" Jiang Lin said unhappily.
But although Jiang Lin said this, he was also nervous, otherwise he would not have wanted Qin Xiangnuan to hate him after hearing such nonsense as 'If a member of the clan falls in love with someone from an outsider, one of them will definitely die after three years'.
Normally, such a joke would be regarded as a joke by outsiders who have never met the tribe members.
But this matter involved himself, and Jiang Lin knew Qin Xiangnuan's strangeness, so he couldn't help but believe this kind of nonsense.
Jiang Lin thought about talking to Qin Xiangnuan directly, but Qin Xiangnuan had been dealing with enough things recently, and Jiang Lin thought that he couldn't really let Qin Xiangnuan worry about everything.
So Jiang Lin now has something to hide from Qin Xiangnuan.
Fan Zhengde scoffed at Jiang Lin's childish words and said, "Then you can try it."
Jiang Lin nodded, "I definitely will."
"So, now you know what I know about this tribe?" Jiang Lin asked. "Where are they now? Why have I never heard any rumors about them outside?"
"Their tribe has rules. They have their own living place and are not allowed to go out easily." Fan Zhengde began to tell Jiang Lin about those things.
