Chapter 6: Who can’t act?
Lin Yingxue was punished to kneel in the ancestral hall and was not allowed to leave without permission.
She was not much better off and was confined to the courtyard for a month.
Lin Yingxue's vicious eyes flashed by, but then she raised a face full of sisterly love, half blaming and half coquettishness, as if the sinister plan just now did not exist, and she said sadly.
"Qingjun, how could you repay kindness with hatred? You and Xiao Yuan are clearly in love, so why don't you admit it? And yet you force me to kneel in the ancestral hall as punishment?"
"But father is right. You and I are sisters after all. How can we become estranged because of a stranger?"
"Don't worry, sister. I, your elder sister, will never bear any grudge against you for this. We are still good sisters, right?"
Lin Qingjun was really enlightened this time. Everything was so clear, but she could still make it go away?
She also suddenly understood why Xiao Yuan had listened to her and married her in the previous life. It turned out that her elder sister was so powerful.
Lin Qingjun pinched the corner of her handkerchief and a crystal tear fell from her eyes. She held her hand with her hands turned over, and her long sharp nails pierced the back of her hand, saying with a sad and disappointed look.
"Sister, please don't meet that Young Master Xiao again. He is not a good person. He is trying to alienate the relationship between you and me."
"Mr. Xiao is just a poor scholar. My father took him in as his student because he was pitiful and had some talent and virtue."
"I never thought he would be so ambitious and actually ask to marry my sister? Is he worthy of it?"
Who can’t act?
Lin Qingjun looked at Lin Yingxue's face which turned pale due to the pain she had stabbed, and she felt extremely happy. She also spoke with an expression that she was doing it for her own good.
"Sister, today I saw that although the Marquis of Wu'an's son is frail, he is gifted with natural talent. What's even more remarkable is that he is humble, polite, and gentle as jade. Even after such an incident with you, he didn't blame you. I guess this son has a broad mind."
"When my sister marries a man who is so considerate, she will surely be blessed with lasting blessings."
Lin Yingxue was startled and quickly interrupted, "Lin Qingjun, what nonsense are you talking about? How can a sickly man like him be worthy of my Minister's daughter?"
What?
Lin Qingjun was shocked and looked at Lin Yingxue in disbelief.
She, she doesn't want to marry Ji Chenchuan?
How is this possible?
In her previous life, she was afraid that she would feel wronged, so she had specially talked to her. If she didn't want to marry, she could just tell her father. Although her father valued rules and etiquette, he couldn't ruin his daughter's life because of this. Although Ji Chenchuan was of noble status, if a woman didn't want to marry, his Wu'an Marquis Mansion couldn't force her to do so, right?
But what did she say? She said that she had admired Ji Chenchuan for a long time and told her not to worry about her. Even if Ji Chenchuan was not in good health, she would take care of him wholeheartedly and do what a prince's consort should do.
After she got married, except for the difficult first year, the other two years were not only peaceful, but also the couple loved each other very much. There were only some jokes about their offspring, so one day three years later, they went to the temple to burn incense.
But now she said that Ji Chenchuan was not worthy? She didn't want to marry him?
Lin Qingjun looked at the delicate and weak elder sister in front of her, gasped, and instantly felt that she was extremely terrifying.
Which of her words were true and which were false? She was playing a double act in front of her. Wasn't she afraid of the day when her lies would be exposed?
Or does she want to play her for the rest of her life?
"Ah, look at what I'm talking about, Qingjun. I just spoke rashly. Don't take it to heart, and don't mention it to father."
"The Wu'an Marquis's Mansion is a wealthy family, and they have an engagement with our Lin Mansion. If they want to force us, our Lin Mansion will not be able to escape."
"I agreed to this because I didn't want to embarrass my father, and I didn't want the future of the Lin family to be ruined."
Lin Qingjun looked at her absurd explanation and smiled, but the smile did not reach her eyes. "Sister, how could it be? Father is busy with official duties, why would I worry about him for no reason?"
Lin Qingjun took a step back and bowed respectfully.
"Sister, it's almost time. You should go to the ancestral hall to receive your punishment. I have to go back to Qijunyuan as well."
After saying that, she left without looking back.
