Chapter 496, Extra Chapter 4: The Story of Lin Wentao and Tuoba Yu'er's Encounter
Seeing the friendly expressions on Lin Luoxi's face as she and Tuoba Yu'er got along so well, Lin Wentao felt even more aggrieved.
When he was little, his second sister doted on him the most. How come he became the object of dislike when he grew up?
Lin Luoxi gestured to Xie Hanchuan to talk to Lin Wentao; after all, men understand men best.
After years of marriage, Xie Hanchuan understood immediately with just a glance from Lin Luoxi.
All those present were women, and it wasn't appropriate for him, a grown man, to stay there indefinitely. So he made an excuse and pulled Lin Wentao away.
When Jam Hsiao saw that Xie Hanchuan and Lin Wentao had left, he followed them with his son in his arms.
After Lin Wentao left, Lin Luoxi looked at Tuoba Yuer with a gossipy eye and asked her about how she met Lin Wentao.
Tuoba Yu'er never expected that Lin Luoxi, who had such an imposing aura just moments before, would suddenly become just like an ordinary person, enjoying gossip.
However, Tuoba Yu'er actually liked Lin Luoxi, who could change her aura so easily. She felt that this kind of Lin Luoxi was more like a friendly older sister next door.
Since they rarely had any entertainment, Wang Yurou and Su Ning exchanged a glance and both chose to stay.
Seeing everyone's curiosity about her story with Lin Wentao, Tuoba Yu'er stopped being mysterious and began to recount how she met Lin Wentao...
Lin Wentao went out to make his way in the world at the age of 12. His first stop was the northern desert.
Coincidentally, the ten-year-old princess Tuoba Yu'er, who was favored by the Great King Tuoba Ying of the Northern Desert, was persuaded by the palace servants to say that a horse fighting competition was being held on the grassland and that it was very lively. After hearing this, Tuoba Yu'er could not resist the temptation and secretly slipped out of the palace to play.
At that time, her mother's mortal enemy, Consort Xiao, learned that she had slipped out of the palace and immediately sent assassins to kill her.
Taking advantage of the bustling scene at the horse fighting arena, he secretly drugged Tuoba Yu'er, intending to take her to a sparsely populated place, kill her, and dispose of her body.
However, Tuoba Yu'er's disappearance still caught the attention of her guards, who came looking for her.
Unexpectedly, the assassins outnumbered and quickly killed all of Tuoba Yu'er's guards.
Just as they were about to deal with Tuoba Yu'er, Lin Wentao appeared like a god descending to earth, rescuing Tuoba Yu'er and single-handedly killing dozens of assassins.
The connection between Lin Wentao and Tuoba Yu'er began when Lin Wentao saved her.
But Lin Wentao and Tuoba Yu'er, who are the main characters, are unaware of this and only think that it is a matter of saving and being saved.
Seeing that all of Tuoba Yuer's maids and guards had been killed that day, Lin Wentao decided to go all the way and simply send Tuoba Yuer to the vicinity of the Northern Desert Palace before leaving.
Then, the gears of fate brought the two together again.
Tuoba Yu'er had reached marriageable age, but her mother, in an attempt to save her and her elder brother, died under the poisonous scheme of Consort Xiao.
Consort Xiao wanted to eliminate the threat completely and ruin Tuoba Yu'er's reputation, so she poisoned her.
Just as Tuoba Yu'er was about to be defiled by Consort Xiao's mentally challenged nephew, she endured the effects of the drug, killed Consort Xiao's nephew, and escaped from the palace.
Just when she thought she was going to die, she ran into Lin Wentao, who was also under the influence of aphrodisiacs.
The two had just encountered a raging fire and lightning that ignited the earth, and they immediately consummated their marriage on the vast grassland, using the sky as their blanket and the earth as their bed.
Upon waking, Lin Wentao saw the naked Tuoba Yu'er beside him and realized what he had done. He vowed to take responsibility.
As a result, he was rejected by Tuoba Yu'er, who was heartbroken.
The aphrodisiac on Tuoba Yu'er has worn off, and she plans to wait until she kills Consort Xiao before going directly to join her deceased mother.
In addition, several years have passed, and Lin Wentao has grown up and changed a lot. He no longer resembles the twelve-year-old he was at all.
Tuoba Yu'er had no idea that the person who had cured her of the aphrodisiac was the very man she had sworn to marry.
In her haste to return and seek revenge on Consort Xiao, she never imagined that the night she and Lin Wentao spent together on the grasslands had already created a bond between them, and that Tuoba Yu'er was pregnant.
After she killed Consort Xiao, she attempted suicide but was rescued by her brother and the imperial physician, who informed her that she was pregnant. For the sake of her child, she chose to live.
Her brother, Tuoba Jingnuo, helped her find out that the man she had been with that crazy night was none other than Lin Wentao, who had saved her.
Upon discovering that he was Lin Wentao, the younger brother of Princess Changping of the Central Plains Chiyan Dynasty, Tuoba Yu'er embarked on a journey to find her husband.
Even a woman who hears about Tuoba Yu'er's experiences can't help but sigh at the nature of fate.
Meanwhile, Lin Wentao's side—
"Brother Hanchuan, you said my sister can understand my little sister's difficulties, so why can't she understand mine?" Lin Wentao complained to Xie Hanchuan while drinking.
"Wentao, your question cannot be confused with your little sister at all."
"Put yourself in her shoes. If I encountered someone like you, how would I feel?"
"Often, women bear more pressure than men. Nuomi, as a man, got his sister-in-law pregnant, and not only does he not want to take responsibility, he also tries to run away. Your sister is already being kind by not beating you up..."
Xie Hanchuan looked at Lin Wentao, who was still feeling aggrieved. After hearing what Lin Wentao said, he wanted to punch him. This ideological work was too difficult.
"Brother Hanchuan, why are you like my sister? I thought you came to comfort me..." Lin Wentao finished his drink and wanted to stand up, not wanting to listen to Xie Hanchuan's advice.
"Are you trying to be an irresponsible father like your father?" Xie Hanchuan dropped a bombshell as Lin Wentao was about to leave.
Jam Hsiao, who was sitting on the side watching the show, hugged his son tightly.
Xie Hanchuan is really brave; he even dares to bring up this topic. He should also be prepared for the two of them to fight at any time.
"Brother Hanchuan, don't compare me to him, I'm definitely not like him..."
"I will marry..."
After Xie Hanchuan said that, Lin Wentao's mind cleared instantly. He remembered the rumors and gossip his mother had faced when she divorced his scumbag father. He put aside his self-righteous pride and finally took on the responsibility that was his.
"That's right. This world is harsh on women. She's not bad either, but she still traveled thousands of miles to find her husband here. It shows that she doesn't want anything from you and is a good woman who genuinely wants to live with you."
"While you haven't broken their heart yet, cherish the person in front of you..."
Given Tuoba Yu'er's circumstances, it's not like she can't live without him. She shouldn't squander this sincerity before she realizes its value.
"Brother Hanchuan, I understand."
Stimulated into understanding, Lin Wentao finally became sensible for once, and hurried back to his courtyard to arrange the wedding.
Since Tuoba Yu'er had nowhere to stay in Wutong Village, Lin Luoxi arranged for her to stay at the Xie family's house.
"Thank you, Second Sister..." Having traveled a long way and being pregnant, Tuoba Yu'er was also tired. After greeting Lin Luoxi and the others, she went to rest in the courtyard that had been arranged for her.
