Yu Yuanzheng held Shangguan Ru's hand and patted it gently to help her calm down.
Knowing this news is indeed too cruel for her, but she has to face it, let her get over the past and live a good life in the future.
She was planning to commit suicide, so what else could she not face? What else could a person who had died have to fear?
Lin Yuanda looked at Shangguan Ziqi for a long time before he recovered.
"My Lord, since you have already opened the skylight, I have nothing to refute.
Lord Shangguan said that Shangguan Ru was not his biological daughter, but the daughter of his enemy, which was why he disliked her and wanted her dead.
When Lord Shangguan came to Luohe City, we had a good relationship. He also helped Lin a lot in his heart. Now he asked me to come to Lin and help him get this done.
Lin took on this task in order to repay the kindness of these senior officials. "
Lin Yuanda simply explained the previous dispute between him and the third master, but these words shocked Shangguan Ru so much that she stopped crying.
Isn't she her father's biological daughter?
"No, this is impossible." Shangguan Ru muttered to herself.
"Sister Ru, don't worry. I'll tell you what happened later. Just remember that you are the daughter of the Shangguan family. Don't be afraid. We will not ignore you." Yu Yuanzheng immediately comforted her.
"Master Lin, Master Xu only wants to take Sister Xu with him, so let's get a divorce.
She said that your Lin family has never had a good day.
You Lin family won't like her either. You don't even care about her own children, which shows how hard-hearted you are.
Don't mention anything unclean to you, you know it well enough."
Shangguan Ziqi didn't want to talk much, he just wanted to bring the person away quickly, so he spoke in a firm tone.
But he couldn't say it too clearly, he couldn't tell an outsider about the affairs of the palace.
The Lin family hesitated.
If they let the person go, Shangguan Ziqi would definitely bring him back to Beijing, and then Lord Shangguan would definitely know about it, and then the Lin family's business would be over.
They have achieved the current business scale thanks to Lord Shangguan.
Without the care of Lord Shangguan, their morale would quickly plummet.
In order to take care of this, the Lin family gave Lord Shangguan 40% of the profits every day, so the remaining 60% was a considerable profit.
How could they bear to do that?
"What? Do you still want to cling to my third uncle?" Shangguan Ziqi continued to put pressure on him.
Put it more directly.
Seeing Shangguan Ziqi's unfriendly expression, Lin Yuanda weighed the pros and cons again.
I heard before that the eldest son was disabled, but today he entered the Lin family safely and his future is definitely limitless. Lord Shangguan is only a bastard of the Rong Palace, and a member of the third branch. He cannot offend the eldest son no matter what, otherwise we won’t know how they died.
Moreover, the Lin family is in danger now that they have encountered the eldest son.
If they don't agree, I'm afraid the Lin family will be finished even faster.
"Young Master, can you protect my entire Lin family?" Lin Yuanda asked for protection after careful consideration.
"Your family will not have to worry about their lives," Shangguan Ziqi assured.
As for whether the Lin family understood or not, that was none of his business.
"Okay, Songbai, write the divorce letter." Lin Yuanda made the decision.
Lin Songbai looked at Shangguan Ru. He was reluctant to let her go, but he couldn't make the decision.
He had no choice but to listen to his father, write the divorce papers on the spot, and put his fingerprints on them.
This would probably be the first divorce letter in the entire Luohe City in ten years.
He had lived for more than twenty years and had only heard of divorce, but had never heard of a couple getting divorced.
Shangguan Ru took the divorce papers with trembling hands.
She was freed; she was no longer the daughter-in-law of the Lin family.
She wanted to go back to the capital to find out why she was not her father's daughter.
If you get the divorce certificate, you have to bring a dowry.
Shangguan Ziqi asked for an inventory on the spot.
As a result, the Lin family took out the dowry list and saw it clearly.
Sister Ru doesn’t have much dowry. All her belongings together are worth at most eight thousand taels of silver.
As a lady of Prince Rong's Mansion, it's amazing that she was only given such a small dowry.
No wonder these women live their lives in a way that anyone can bully them.
Besides the fact that Third Aunt had educated people so well that they didn't know how to resist, the more important thing was that she didn't have much at her disposal and couldn't even bribe a servant.
Third uncle, third uncle!
Shangguan Ziqi repeated it silently twice in his mind.
The enemy's daughter.
Very good.
This is his biological sister.
Zishu is just a cousin.
After counting, the guards carried the things up and out of the Lin family. Shangguan Ru felt relaxed and held Yu Yuanzheng's hand tightly.
As soon as Shangguan Ziqi and the others left.
Every member of the Lin family felt as if they had lost their parents.
"Master, what should we do?" You was extremely anxious.
"Quick, find a doctor to cure Yue'er. With this child, the eldest master will never do anything too cruel. She is Shangguan Ru's biological daughter." Lin Yuanda knew that as a businessman, he could never compete with the powerful Rong Palace.
The only lifeline that the Lin family could hold on to was that child.
Everyone knew that the child was from the Lin family, but they did that just to force him to death.
"Dad, Yue'er is already dead. Ru'er buried her in the yard." Lin Songbai said while crying.
"What?" Lin Yuanda's body swayed.
This is his last guarantee for agreeing to the divorce.
Lin Yuanda was so angry that he beat his chest, then hurried to the East Courtyard.
Lin Songbai immediately followed.
When I arrived in front of Shangguan Ru's house, I saw a small piece of freshly dug land in the flower garden.
"Hurry, dig it out." He wanted to make sure.
Lin Songbai took action himself and quickly dug it open, and indeed he saw something that looked like a bundle.
Still big.
When the whole body was dug out, everyone saw that it was wrapped in a bed sheet. When they untied the sheet, they found that it was full of children's clothes. There was no child at all.
Only then did the Lin family realize that the child was not dead at all, but was secretly taken away by Shangguan Ziqi and others.
It's over now.
"Hurry, hide everything you can, just in case." Lin Yuanda shouted in panic.
Later, the Lin family was in chaos.
As soon as Shangguan Ziqi left the Lin family, he asked several guards to send Yu Yuanzheng and Shangguan Ru back to the inn, while he took Qingfeng and the other three to the prefectural government office.
Before it got dark, the prefect personally led his men to surround the Lin family. They arrested all the Lin family members for bribing officials and then slowly investigated and tried them.
Needless to say, the amount of bribes was so huge that they were sentenced to death. However, since Guan Ziqi did not promise that their lives would not be in danger, he gave them a lighter sentence of exile.
You can only suffer when you are alive, but when you die, everything is over.
Yu Yuanzheng and Shangguan Ru returned to the inn and saw that the child had woken up and was being well taken care of by the two maids.
Also playing with the children.
This means the child's fever has subsided.
"Yuer, my Yueer." Shangguan Ru hugged the child and cried again.
It’s great that her child can really be cured.
She doesn't want anything. As long as her child is alive and can stay with her, she will have unlimited courage to live.
"Thank you, sister-in-law. You and brother are our daughter's saviors. I will tell Yue'er that she will be filial to you when she grows up."
She didn't dare to say how she would repay him. She was now at a loss and had no idea what to do next.
"You're welcome, sister. We are a family."
When she mentioned the family, Shangguan Ru's face suddenly turned pale.
"Sister-in-law, why am I not my father's child? Why did he say I am the daughter of his enemy? Can you tell me?"
Shangguan Ru asked the question she had long wanted to know.
