Lin Wuchen got the answer he wanted, and a big stone in his heart fell to the ground.
As for why Bai Youxin did this, he didn't really care. No matter what the reason was, Bai Youxin and the Bai family would have to bear his wrath.
Thinking of how Ah Ci treated him coldly because of this matter, and now he was bedridden with depression, he wanted to kill Bai Youxin directly.
But the question that needs to be asked is, “What exactly happened back then?”
Ju'er stammered as she told the truth, "After our young lady boarded the ship that day, she accidentally discovered that the young master of the Zhao family had brought a young lady from the Zhao family on board. The young master said that if this was done, the crisis of the Zhao family would be resolved."
"Our young lady set up a trap to lure Young Master Zhao away, and then gave you the antidote. Actually, the blood on the bed came from my cut finger. I only told you about it after I saw you wake up."
Things were pretty much as Lin Wuchen had expected. He didn't ask any more questions and turned to Lin Jin, "Bring some people with you and go to the Bai family."
It was already getting dark outside, but Lin Wuchen didn't care. Even if it was the middle of the night, he had to go to the Bai family to collect the debt.
Bai Youxin didn't know that Ju'er had already told everything. The Bai family had just set up dinner and she was asking the people below where Ju'er had gone.
This afternoon, Ju'er felt unwell, so she allowed her to rest in her room. But just when she sent someone to check, she was gone.
Bai Youxin had just ordered her subordinates to look for Ju'er when a servant came in to report, "Miss, the third young master of the Lin family is here."
"Please come in." Bai Youxin smiled and went out to greet him.
When Lin Wuchen came in, there was no expression on his face, and it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry.
But Bai Youxin has been in business for so many years, how could she not notice that something was wrong with Lin Wuchen.
She asked tentatively, "Why are you here at this hour? We just set up the dinner table. Do you want to eat here?"
While asking the question, she was wondering why Lin Wuchen came today.
After much thought, she felt that it might be related to Xue Yuan. She had only just learned yesterday that Xue Yuan had asked Lin Wuchen to go to Prince Ning's mansion to propose marriage.
It is also possible that Xue Yuan said something accidentally.
While Bai Youxin was pondering, Lin Wuchen had already stopped in front of her, staring at her with a cold gaze.
"I came here today to tell you this. The marriage is off. From now on, my Lin family and the Bai family of Lin'an Prefecture will be irreconcilable."
Bai Youxin was startled when she heard this and looked up at Lin Wuchen, "You're here to question me because of what Xue Yuan said, right?"
Lin Wuchen raised the corner of his mouth and sneered, "Could it be that Xue Yuan is wrong?"
"Bai Shaodong is really planning every step. You even secretly arranged my cousin's marriage."
"Who do you think you are to plan Ah Ci's wedding?"
Bai Youxin immediately became angry when she heard this. Lin Wuchen was belittling her and praising Su Shunci. Why?
But Bai Youxin was extremely calm at this moment. Now was not the time to act on impulse.
The real thing is to let Lin Wuchen put aside his grudges and get married with peace of mind.
Bai Youxin suppressed the anger in her heart and looked at Lin Wuchen in disbelief.
"What are you talking about? I did go to find Xue Yuan, but I also had good intentions."
"I only said that because I saw that Master Xue was a good person. And I did this for the good of the Lin family. You must understand the key point here. What did I do wrong?"
When she said this, Bai Youxin's voice suddenly choked.
"It's unfair to me to say that. If you don't want to marry me, you can just not discuss it with me."
"Even if I lose my innocence to save you, I will not force myself to marry into your Lin family unless you agree."
"But what are you doing now? You are so cold and rude to me just for a cousin who is not related to me by blood."
If Lin Wuchen didn't know the truth, he might even feel guilty about Bai Youxin's words.
But when Lin Wuchen heard Bai Youxin say this, he just found it ridiculous.
Bai Youxin really treated him as a fool. She really thought he was easy to fool, didn't she?
Lin Wuchen laughed sarcastically, "Since Bai Shaodong said that you won't marry into my Lin family unless I agree. Well, I'm telling you now that I don't want to."
He said word by word that he didn't want to.
These four words completely panicked Bai You. Based on her understanding of Lin Wuchen, he shouldn't have said that.
Bai Youxin thought of Su Shunci and blurted out, "You treated me like this because of the fourth young lady of the Su family."
"Okay, okay, you two lovers will finally get married. When the time comes, I will let everyone in the world see how you, Third Young Master Lin, abandoned me after having an affair, and how Miss Su ruined my marriage."
She said this out of anger and as a threat.
She just didn't believe that Lin Wuchen didn't care about his reputation. Even if he didn't care about his own reputation, could he not care about Su Shunci's reputation?
If he dared to break off the engagement, she would fight to the death.
Lin Wuchen looked at Bai Youxin as if he were watching a play, laughed, and said loudly: "Lin Jin, bring the person up."
A moment later, Lin Jin came in with Ju'er. Ju'er knelt on the ground and Lin Jin retreated to the door.
The moment Bai Youxin saw Juer, she understood everything.
Lin Wuchen came to her not because of Su Shunci's marriage, but because of the incident in Yunzhou Prefecture.
But she couldn't lose her composure, what if Lin Wuchen was trying to trick her?
Bai Youxin calmed down and asked, "What does Third Young Master Lin mean? Did my maid offend you?"
Seeing that she was still pretending, Lin Wuchen immediately lost his patience.
"Okay, Bai Shaodong, there's no need to pretend anymore. She's confessed everything. I already know everything that happened back then."
