Before he could finish speaking, Madam Lin arrived again.
Lin Qingwan had just bathed and changed, and her hair was still damp. The steam couldn't even bring a hint of rosy color to her pale cheeks.
Lin suddenly remembered Butcher Lin's accusation, "You treated her even worse than her foster mother..."
“She was sold to me by her adoptive mother.”
"You all want to kill her."
These words echoed repeatedly in her mind, as if insects were crawling across her heart. Looking at Lin Qingwan's thin and frail figure, Lin suddenly forgot what she wanted to say.
At this moment, Lin Qingwan spoke first, "What are your instructions, Mother?"
The cold, unfamiliar tone brought Lin back to reality. The butcher was talking nonsense. Cheng Min had dedicated her and her daughter's entire lives to protecting herself. How could she possibly treat Qingwan badly?
On the contrary, it must be because Qingwan is of the Prime Minister's bloodline that Cheng Min cannot hit or scold her, which is why she grew up to be such a stubborn and unlikable person.
Madam Lin's eyes darkened slightly, and she was about to speak when Qin Ma stepped forward and said, "Madam, the Crown Prince sent two boxes of pastries, saying that His Highness had them delivered to Miss Qingwan."
Lin Qingwan's eyelids twitched, and the fingers holding the handkerchief curled slightly.
Lin gave her a meaningful look, dismissed the others, and stepped forward to take the towel she was using to dry her hair.
Lin Qingwan was puzzled and took a half step back.
Seeing the wariness in her eyes, Lin froze. "Sit down and dry your hair before we talk."
Lin Qingwan thought she had misheard, and before she could react, the handkerchief was in her mother's hand.
Lin pressed her shoulder and made her sit down.
"I can do it myself." Lin Qingwan couldn't believe it, and was even afraid of her mother's closeness.
Lin moved very gently, and Lin Qingwan's body was very stiff.
Lin wiped for a moment, then realized that she was still not relaxed. A complicated look flashed in her eyes. "I know you don't like to hear this, but I still want to tell you that you can't serve Prince Jing."
“Although your father cares about you, he is the Prime Minister of Da Ning, His Majesty is old, and the Crown Prince and Prince Jing will inevitably fight each other sooner or later. He has to find a foothold for the Jiang family in the unknown darkness.”
"You insist on associating with Prince Jing and using his power for temporary pleasure, but in the end, the Prime Minister's mansion has plenty of ways to cut you apart."
"If you can bear it, even if your reputation is bad, as long as the Prime Minister's residence is still the Prime Minister's residence, no one will dare to talk about you for the rest of their lives."
