Upon hearing the words "Young Prince," Xiao Minghui's face turned as black as could be. What was Lin Ling up to? She actually notified the Young Prince. What was she planning?
Although Xiao Yufei was tied up and couldn't speak, she was sobbing. She was overjoyed. Her aunt really did have a way. As long as the young prince came, her grandmother and father would have no choice but to listen to him.
Xiao Minghui went straight to the courtyard. The girl opened the gate, and Xiao Minghui, with a dark face, went over and pushed open the door to the room.
Mo Yan stood outside with Yu Die and Xiao Yufei, listening.
The door was suddenly pushed open, and Lin Ling woke up with a start. Thinking that the old woman had brought her news, she quickly turned around and looked over. When she saw Xiao Minghui, she was a little surprised, and also had a bit of... indescribable feeling.
The next moment, she quickly put on a look of surprise, her eyes instantly welling up with tears. She looked at Xiao Minghui with a wronged expression, "Master, you've finally come! I thought you weren't coming back to see me. I'm in so much pain, I thought I was going to die, waaaaah..."
Lin Ling looks really ugly now. Her face is swollen from being beaten, and her hair is disheveled. She has nothing to do with beauty. In addition, her affected movements make people feel disgusted.
Xiao Minghui acted as if he didn't see her grievances, and instead questioned her with a dark face.
"What have you and Lin Jun done? Lin Ling, I've always trusted you. Since you got together with me, have I ever wronged you in any way?"
Lin Ling was a little confused. Xiao Minghui's expression was off, and his emotions seemed a bit off too. What was going on?
Before she could think any further, Lin Ling showed a sad and distressed expression. "Master, what are you saying? I don't understand."
Seeing that she still wouldn't speak, Xiao Minghui's face darkened and he said, "Your younger brother, Lin Jun, went and seized someone else's land, and even forced that girl to marry your nephew. Didn't you know?"
Lin Ling thought it was something serious.
Her dismissive expression only made Xiao Minghui more disappointed.
Had he ever truly seen through this woman before? At this moment, he genuinely had some doubts.
"What's with that expression? You don't think this is a normal thing, do you?"
If that's the case, then Lin Ling is absolutely despicable.
“Master, my brother’s family may not have much money, but they are not bad either. Marrying my nephew will allow them to live a good life. It’s that girl who is blind.”
"Besides, how could my brother do that? He paid money to buy their land; he's not short of that kind of money."
Lin Ling didn't think there was anything wrong with it; she even thought that the girl from that family was being pretentious and had no taste.
"Outrageous! A marriage between two families must be voluntary. Your behavior is robbery. I have already investigated and dealt with your brother according to the law."
Your brother said he sent you some money. What's going on?
Xiao Minghui was completely disappointed in Lin Ling. The previous events combined with the current situation left him feeling disheartened.
"Yes, he earns money because of your reputation, so it's only right that he gives me a little something."
Lin Ling didn't think there was anything wrong with it, but she was a little confused when she saw Xiao Minghui's even angrier face. "Master, what's wrong with you? I'm just telling the truth. They want to do business in your name. They're related to our family, so they should show you some respect. This time, I'm not siding with my own family. They should show you respect just like everyone else."
Lin Ling felt even more aggrieved after saying this, and tears streamed down her face. Her gaze towards Xiao Minghui was filled with resentment. "My lord, I have done so much for you, but I have never told you a word. It is only because my heart is full of you."
As Lin Ling spoke, she winked at Xiao Minghui, who nearly fell to the ground. "Who are they referring to?"
Xiao Minghui was trembling slightly, feeling that his political career was probably over.
"They were the wives of some merchants. They would give their concubines jewelry and such. The concubines would also play mahjong with them. My brother gave them silver."
After hearing this, Xiao Minghui walked over, raised his hand and slapped him across the face. His hand was still trembling afterward.
How could this woman do such a thing? How could she do something so absurd? How could she do it?!
Does she even know what she's doing?
"What are you doing...?"
"Tie her up and throw her in jail."
As soon as Mo Yan spoke, her men moved, tying up the two of them, gagging them, and sending them to the prison.
"Xiao Minghui wrote a letter of divorce."
Xiao Minghui was stunned for a long time before he reacted and quickly nodded.
"Yes, Mother."
"Have your people investigate who gave her the gifts, find out what they were, and then tell everyone that you divorced a concubine and that Lin Ling stole my things."
When those people arrive, tell them which ones are evidence and cannot be given to them.
After what happened with Xiao Minghui, you should resign. Look at the things you've done."
He spoiled one of his concubines so much that she was able to carry things around.
Xiao Minghui was devastated. He chased after Lin Ling and asked, "Did I fail to provide you with food, clothing, and other necessities? Is it because we don't have enough money in our household? Why did you do this to ruin my reputation!"
After saying that, Xiao Minghui released her mouth.
"Master, what are you doing? Waaaaah! We've been husband and wife for so many years, and I even gave birth to your daughter... Waaaaah..."
"It's just some small stuff, what are you afraid of? Anyone can do that these days, nothing will go wrong."
Lin Ling didn't see anything wrong with it. The gifts she received were given voluntarily, not asked for by her, so why was it wrong?
Besides, everyone does it this way, so what's there to be afraid of? All crows are black, so why be the one to stand out?
"I will not!" Xiao Minghui gritted his teeth and looked at Lin Ling. "Lin Ling, from now on we have nothing to do with each other. You and I are strangers. Take her away and put her in jail. She will be interrogated tomorrow."
Lin Ling's mouth was gagged again, and it was no use whether she wanted to or not.
It all happened so suddenly that Xiao Yufei didn't even have time to process what was going on.
Then Mo Yan told everyone, "Go tell the doctor that the second young lady is gone."
Xiao Yufei: "???"
"Mmm..."
She's still here, how could she be gone?
Xiao Yudie had always stayed by her grandmother's side, never expecting that she would be able to see these things.
All of this is so shocking and unbelievable; this concubine is so audacious.
Mo Yan originally planned to lock Lin Ling up for a while to see who she would contact and find out who was behind her. But now there's no need. She's probably involved with that young prince.
It was getting late, so Mo Yan and Xiao Yudie stayed at the manor.
Even so, she still checked the homework left for Xiao Yudie. She had thought about it a lot and was seriously considering it, but it wasn't comprehensive enough. Mo Yan broke it down and analyzed it for her.
"The reason I say Lin Ling is stupid is because of her attitude towards you. She became arrogant after gaining power."
You are the eldest daughter of the family, that will never change, and even if she's just putting on an act, she should at least be nice to you on the surface..."
