"Don't say that."
Lin Chunhuan lowered her eyes and put the hair accessories on her head one by one. Even though her attitude towards Mrs. Chang had become cold, she still stopped Caiyun.
"Even if mother didn't come, I would still go. Huaijin is my husband. He has done nothing wrong to me, and I can't give up on him."
"Besides, not all mothers-in-law are like this. Even if there are a few, we can't generalize."
Caiyun replied yes and said nothing more.
She just quietly watched her master eat two more pieces of easy-to-digest cakes and tidy her clothes neatly before standing behind Lin Chunhuan and saying respectfully, "This servant will accompany you."
"I will be waiting outside the door. I will not enter without your order."
Seeing Caiyun's determined eyes, Lin Chunhuan opened his mouth, but in the end he couldn't say anything to refuse.
It was still the same courtyard, but it was full of life a few days ago, but now it looked a bit dilapidated, just like Princess Lingyan.
All the prosperity is forced. Once the fake outer shell is torn a little, the piles of rot inside will rush out one after another, stinking so bad that it makes people unable to open their eyes.
Of course, Princess Lingyan wasn't bad from the beginning.
She was just dragged into the mud. Only by letting herself rot could she grit her teeth, shed tears, and live tenaciously while being supported by hatred.
Lin Chunhuan didn't knock on the door. He greeted the person guarding the door and brought Caiyun in.
Princess Lingyan was tied to a pillar. She was not tied with a rope, but with a large piece of cloth. This method could control her without leaving any scars on her body. It was a method passed down from the palace.
She has seen a lot since she was a child.
"Auntie, why are you doing this?"
Lin Chunhuan lowered his eyes, "Even if you see me, even if you have the ability to kill me, what can you do?"
"If I die, your daughter will truly have no way to live. You are also a girl who grew up in the deep palace. Do you still need a junior like me to teach you such a simple truth?"
Seeing that Princess Lingyan was staring at him, Lin Chunhuan didn't say anything. He just walked up to her and said, "I guess you already know about my husband's disappearance."
"Whether this matter is related to the Yihe tribe or not, and whether you are aware of it or not, Auntie, this really won't do you any good."
"Now I will take the cloth off your mouth. If you really want to save your daughter, tell me the truth." Lin Chunhuan took a deep breath, stretched out his hand, and slowly removed the cloth stuffed in Princess Lingyan's mouth.
There was a moment of silence in the room, but what followed was the other party's irrational and endless verbal abuse.
"Lin Chunhuan, you little bitch, you will die a miserable death!"
Princess Lingyan cursed until her saliva flew everywhere. Lin Chunhuan just sighed and said, "I overestimated you."
As he spoke, he pinched Princess Lingyan's chin with one hand and was about to stuff a rag into her mouth with the other hand. His movements were smooth and there was not a trace of hesitation.
"No no! Wait, I have something to say."
Obviously, she had not expected Lin Chunhuan to be so decisive. The cursing in Princess Lingyan's mouth suddenly stopped, and her tone immediately became calm.
Of course, it is also possible that her original purpose of struggling was not to curse anyone, but just to find an opportunity to vent her dissatisfaction and anger.
Lin Chunhuan stopped what she was doing, but she didn't let go of the hand that was pinching Princess Lingyan's chin. "Oh? Then please tell me, Auntie."
"This time, I don't want to hear any more nonsense."
Princess Lingyan's eyebrows twisted for a moment, "How could you do this to me! If it weren't for you, how could I have suffered so many years? It would have been fine if you didn't help me, but you actually helped outsiders to persecute your aunt!"
"Lin Chunhuan, how could you be so selfish!"
"Are you done?" Lin Chunhuan raised his eyebrows slightly, stuffed the rag into his mouth, listened to the other person's whimpering, and patted his hands that were not stained with dust. "Because of me?"
"Did I order you to be sent to the Yihe tribe? Or have I been preventing you from returning to Kyoto for so many years?" Lin Chunhuan sneered, "Yes, your fate is tragic. I sympathize with you and feel sorry for you."
"But you're trying to put the blame on me and make me feel guilty, no way!"
A hint of cruelty appeared on the face that always wore a gentle smile. "Your suffering is not caused by me. You can hate the court, hate your uncle, the Prince of Yan, or even hate my father, but you didn't. You chose to hate me."
"Hate me, a person who wasn't even born when you were sent to the Yihe tribe."
"Do you think I don't know why? You're afraid. Even though you've been persecuted to this extent, you still don't dare to resist. Not only do you not dare to resist, you don't even dare to hate those men."
Lingyan County Princess's cheeks, which were already so thin that there was no flesh left, were pinched again by Lin Chunhuan. "You are suffering, you are in pain, and you are also cowardly and selfish, so you turned yourself from a victim into a perpetrator."
"People like you are more pathetic than pure evil."
"What do you know!"
Seeing the anger in Princess Lingyan's eyes, Lin Chunhuan frowned, pulled the rag out of her mouth again, and even took two steps back, as if he was prepared to endure the abuse.
"You don't know anything at all, man and woman, brother and sister, father and daughter, you don't know how disgusting it is!"
"We are all royal ladies. How can you live so well? How can you have a husband who loves you?" Princess Lingyan yelled out of control.
Although her bound body couldn't move, it didn't stop her from expressing her anger. "But it will be over soon. Soon, you will become like me."
"You and I are the same, we both deserve to die in the stinking ditch!"
Lin Chunhuan raised his chin slightly, as if he was afraid that Princess Lingyan hadn't been stimulated enough, and smiled mockingly and proudly, "You no longer have the chance to capture me."
"I will always be the eldest princess of Sheng Kingdom and the young lady of Cangjian Villa. I will always be high and mighty."
"Pooh!"
Princess Lingyan spat on the ground, "Why are you pretending? Madam Chang, I just made her think I might know the whereabouts of her son. Isn't that why she eagerly asked you to come find me?"
"Lin Chunhuan, guess what? If she knew that only you could bring her son back, would she tie you up herself, just like... just like I am doing now, and then hand you over to those beasts with her own hands?"
Lin Chunhuan took a few steps back again, his eyes narrowed slightly, "You really do know Huai Jin's whereabouts. From the beginning, your goal was not to kidnap me, but to trick Huai Jin down the mountain!"
