Chapter 281 I Can Give Him My Life
She painted a big picture for Lin Zhi.
What’s funny is that Lin Zhi actually started to eat this big pie.
Is he worthy of becoming a powerful official? He has no means, no talent, and can only enjoy the glory of women in this backyard.
It's true that Xiao Yuan is close to the prince, but he has so many confidants, why must Xiao Yuan be the only one?
Lin Chengfeng was indeed well-liked by the academicians, but if he wanted to become a high-ranking official, he would have to work harder. Simply suing Lin Yingxue, the Crown Prince's servant, wasn't enough. To put it bluntly, if all the Crown Prince's women used the Crown Prince's title to secure favorable positions for their brother-in-law, wouldn't that be chaos? Would the Empress agree? Would His Majesty?
Therefore, Lin Zhi is destined to not be able to eat this big pie.
Lin Qingjun quickly left the study. She wanted to give her aunt's indenture contract to her so that she could feel at ease.
Aunt Liu was in her sleep with a smile on her lips.
She felt that she had hope for the future. If her daughter lived well, she would be fine too. The Prince Ji had said that he came for her.
She believed this because she saw seriousness in Ji Shizi's eyes. She had also seen such seriousness in the eyes of another man. Although it had been more than 20 years, she would always remember that look.
"Auntie, Auntie, wake up."
Is it her daughter calling her?
She gently opened her eyes and saw her beautiful daughter looking at her with sparkling eyes under the dim candlelight.
She was startled and lost her sleepiness instantly. She wrapped the thin blanket around herself and blamed him.
"It just rained a little before nightfall. Why don't you take care of yourself? Put on some clothes quickly or you'll catch a cold."
While holding her, she touched her hand as she did when she was a child. Her fingertips were icy cold. She quickly called Zhang Yapo to make a bowl of ginger soup.
Lin Qingjun stopped.
"Mother, don't be nervous. I'm fine. Mrs. Zhang isn't here. I told her to go back to her room and sleep. Today, it's just the two of us. I want to talk to Auntie."
She got on the bed while talking, just like when she was a child.
She sat on the bed, facing her aunt.
When she saw a few white hairs growing on her aunt's temples, her heart suddenly felt sore and tears fell.
"Oh, Jun'er, what are you doing? Why are you crying for no reason? Did Qi and the others bully you again? I'll go find them."
"It's not Auntie." She held on, "I just think it's nice to have an Auntie. And, look, what is this?"
She took out the thing she had finally obtained from the depths of her bosom and placed it carefully in her aunt's hand.
Under her gaze, Aunt Liu opened the thin layer of paper.
She was confused at first, and it took her a long time to realize what it was.
She looked at the paper in her hand, then looked at the girl sitting opposite her who was taller and prettier than her. Her face turned pale, she threw away the things in her hand, rushed over, pulled her off the bed, and looked her up and down carefully.
"Are you okay? Can you show me where you're hurt?"
"There are no wounds? That means it's an internal injury? Quick, tell me, where are you hurt?"
"Wait, Qi is not a good person. If she wants to harm you, she won't just cause you internal injuries. Yes, she will poison you. She must have poisoned you."
"Woo woo, my dear daughter, you've been poisoned. No, no, I can't panic. Let's go, let's go out of the house and find a doctor to detoxify you. I have silver. I haven't used the silver you gave me before. I'll give it all to him, okay? As long as he can save you, if the silver is not enough, I, I can give him my life..."
Aunt Liu was panicked and frightened, but she couldn't be weak at this time. She had to be strong because she still had to save her daughter.
Lin Qingjun never thought that things would turn out like this?
"Auntie, don't panic or cry. I'm fine. I'm really fine. I'm not injured, I don't have any internal injuries, and I'm not poisoned."
But Aunt Liu didn't believe it.
"Don't lie to me. I know you're a filial son. Even if you're hurt, you won't tell anyone. You'll just swallow your grievances. In front of me, you always say it's okay."
"Also, don't really think I'm stupid. You're not injured, so where did this indenture come from? Qi will never return my indenture. She said that even if she dies, she will make me, a lowly servant, a lifelong slave, and she will also find a way to make my daughter lose face forever."
"Although I can't recognize the words on this indenture, I clearly remember the fingerprints I pressed."
Her bright red handprint was not just ink, but ink stained with her finger's blood. She clearly remembered the day when she pressed the fingerprint. She bit her finger with her own mouth and then pressed it with the ink.
She must remember this day, and understand that from this day on, she is no longer a commoner, she is a lowly slave.
"Jun'er, did they do something to you? Tell me quickly, you damn child, you're driving me crazy."
"No, no, there's still a chance. Let's return this indenture to her. I don't want it anymore. I don't want it anymore."
She had thought about leaving the house, but since she had her daughter, she had never had such an idea. She wanted to stay in this house with her daughter for the rest of her life.
When Lin Qingjun heard this, tears couldn't help but fall.
"Auntie, mother, mother, really, I'm really fine. This indenture wasn't given to me by Qi, but I got it from Lin Zhi. Don't worry, I'm really fine. I, I really got this thing for you."
"Mother, from now on you are your own person. You are no longer someone's slave, and you don't need to be controlled by the Qi family. From now on, you can go out of the house, and you can embroider whatever you like in the yard. No one will force you to do something you don't like, mother..."
Not aunt, but mother.
Aunt Liu still didn't believe it, because she knew that Lin Zhi would not give her this thing for no reason, and she must have exchanged it for something.
So, “Don’t hide it from me.”
When Lin Qingjun heard this, he was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
"Who said my mother isn't smart? You haven't been fooled by me at all."
She was also very happy and heartwarming. When her mother saw the indenture contract, her first reaction was not happiness, but fear. She was not excited, but wanted to see if she was hurt or harmed. She never had herself in her heart, only her. She loved her daughter wholeheartedly.
Of course, she would not hide it from her, and she told her everything she had said to Lin Zhi in the study.
When Aunt Liu heard this, it took her a long time to recover.
"So, this is how you got this thing?"
"but."
When Aunt Liu said this, her face suddenly darkened again and she grabbed her hand tightly.
"Nannan, we have to leave here. We can't stay in this place anymore."
