Sun Jin also stepped forward, "Since Lin Xuan said that he has no relationship with Sun Yue, that means that his family beat Sun Yue without any employment relationship or master-servant relationship."
Also, I took a lot of money from Sun Yue; isn't that illegal?
Lin Xuan's expression changed. He suddenly regretted saying that they had no relationship, but at that time he was thinking that he could not let Nan Ling misunderstand.
"My lord, my husband was wrong. As his wife, I apologize on his behalf. We will do our best to make amends for the harm done to this young lady, is that alright?"
Sun Yue stared at her in shock. She never expected this woman to be so calm, as if she didn't care at all whether her husband had really done something to betray her.
The moment their eyes met, Sun Yue realized something: Nan Ling didn't love Lin Xuan.
If you truly love someone, you can't remain indifferent, nor can you handle this matter so calmly.
"May I speak with this young lady alone for a few minutes?"
Sun Yue looked at the county magistrate and said, "After we talk, I will decide whether to accept their compensation and not pursue this matter further."
So the emperors of this dynasty were quite good; they even allowed victims not to pursue the matter and to choose reconciliation. Mo Yan once thought that the development of this era was very good and deserved praise.
The county magistrate agreed. If Sun Yue insists on pursuing the matter, then Lin Xuan will be investigated next, and the imperial examination will likely be canceled.
“Of course I’m willing,” Nan Ling said, indicating her willingness.
The two of them entered a room.
“If you don’t like Lin Xuan, why did you marry him? You saw it yourself, I was deceived. If you believed him, you would be deceived too.”
Sun Yue couldn't understand why they could get married if they didn't love each other.
"Why must we love each other to get married? He wants to use me to advance his career, and I want to use him to get married. We're both getting what we need, so why should I love him?"
All she wanted was to find a father for the child in her womb so that the child could be born safely. Why should she care whether Lin Xuan loved her or not?
Even after they got married, they lived separate lives. If she was happy, Lin Xuan could stay as her husband; if she was unhappy, Lin Xuan would have to leave.
"Sun Yue, you don't still have any illusions about Lin Xuan, do you? If you do, then I'll grant your wish and let you become his concubine."
As for anything else, don't even think about it; Lin Xuan must be her husband for the rest of the year.
“No.” Sun Yue frowned. In fact, she herself didn’t know why she wanted to talk to this woman. “I originally wanted to remind you that he is not a good person, but now I don’t know what to do.”
"Think it through. I'm willing to pay compensation; just name your price."
I'm telling you this: I won't let him have any bad reputation.
"Why?" Sun Yue didn't understand.
"Not everyone is like you, who only sees love as everything; life is what matters."
After the two talked, the magistrate had Lin Xuan flogged ten times, and the old lady was locked up for three months; the old lady was known for her brutal beatings. There was also the matter of compensation.
After everything was taken care of, Sun Yue was taken away by Sun Jin and Sun Xueyi to see a doctor.
Aren't you curious about what that person told me?
Seeing that her younger siblings didn't ask, Sun Yue spoke up.
"We're not curious. We're just taking you to see a doctor. We won't be appearing in front of you again starting tomorrow. Take care of yourself."
They showed up because they were worried and knew they wouldn't contact her again.
"From now on, whether you are sick or happy, whether you get married or have children, we will not come. Your future has nothing to do with us, and our future has nothing to do with you, understand?"
Sun Yue nodded. She knew very well that she had only herself to blame for everything.
At this moment, Lin Xuan was on his way out of here.
Lin Xuan sat in the carriage, but his heart was in turmoil. He looked at the woman beside him, unable to understand her, and didn't even know if Nan Ling was angry or not.
Nan Ling looked so calm, neither crying nor making a fuss, and she didn't seem angry.
"My wife, are you... not angry?"
Lin Xuan finally couldn't hold back and asked the question.
"Do you think I should be angry?" Nan Ling asked him with a smile.
Lin Xuan panicked and quickly tried to explain.
“My wife, I… I have nothing to do with her. She said she admired me and wanted to be with me, but I never agreed.”
This time, it was because she threatened me, wanting to find you and ruin our relationship, that I...
Looking at Lin Xuan in front of her, Nan Ling became even more certain that she had made the right choice.
"Lin Xuan."
Nan Ling looked at him, sighed, and had a look in her eyes that Lin Xuan couldn't understand.
"My wife, don't worry. From now on, I will have nothing to do with her anymore. I will never contact her again."
“I know exactly what kind of person you were before.”
This sentence completely baffled Lin Xuan, who had no idea what it meant.
"What?" Lin Xuan was stunned. He actually had some self-awareness and knew that if these things were found out, then... "Then why did you still marry me?"
He didn't believe that Nanling thought he was exceptionally talented or anything like that.
"Because what I need is a husband who won't interfere with me,"
I think the reason you're with me is to make your career path easier. As for me, I naturally have my own reasons and purposes as well.
I don't like you, I'm not interested in you, so it doesn't matter whether you have someone you like or whether you've had many women in the past.
Of course, don't think you can fool me. There's no way you can. I will remember everything you've done. And please remember who you are in the future.
This time when we go back, we just need to pretend to be a loving couple in other people's eyes.
Lin Xuan fell silent...
Neither of them spoke after that. To be honest, this was not the outcome Lin Xuan wanted.
He felt very unhappy.
He didn't understand.
He was very unhappy! He felt betrayed, wanted to get angry but knew he couldn't, and felt extremely frustrated!
This isn't the kind of marital relationship he wants. It should be said that Nan Ling cares about him a lot, but the reality is different.
