Lin Huihui never imagined that she would encounter such a thing.
She was the daughter of the county magistrate; she was the most distinguished girl in the county!
"Huihui." When Lin Mingfu arrived with his men, he saw Lin Huihui lying naked on the ground.
He was a man, and he could tell at a glance what Lin Huihui had gone through and what the filth on her body was.
He was stunned.
Not only him, but the people he brought were also stunned. The two old women were experienced women, and they understood everything they saw in the scene.
Lin Mingfu immediately retreated with Donkey Egg, and the two old women quickly helped Lin Huihui put on her clothes.
"Don't tell anyone about what happened tonight, including Niu Dan, including your family, understand?" Lin Mingfu instructed Lv Dan.
Donkey Egg was still young and didn't know what had happened to Lin Huihui. He naively thought that Lin Huihui had been beaten so badly by He Yuyan that her clothes had been stripped off.
He knew that it would be a disgrace for the girl to strip naked in public, so he nodded and said, "Uncle, I understand. I won't say anything and I won't tell anyone."
The old woman carried Lin Huihui back home, and on the way they met Lin Shikang and Fang Lei.
Seeing the old woman carrying Lin Huihui on her back, Lin Shikang's anger surged: "What's wrong with her?"
At this moment, he still did not know what Lin Huihui had gone through, only that Lin Huihui had been beaten so badly that she could not walk.
Lin Mingfu called Lin Shikang aside and whispered about Lin Huihui's ordeal.
Lin Shikang clenched his fists, wishing he could kill He Yuyan and Yuan Weimin's entire family.
This is his daughter, his only daughter now!
He had already planned to "marry" Lin Huihui to the Prince of Qingyang as a concubine, but he didn't expect this to happen. Was it a coincidence? Or did Yuan Weimin already know something and instruct He Yuyan to do it on purpose?
"Take the person back first," Lin Shikang said through gritted teeth.
When they got home, Yuan Yajing was already up: "Master..."
Lin Shikang ignored Yuan Yajing. This was the first time he had disregarded her since they met, and Yuan Yajing felt bad.
But when she saw Lin Huihui, she was stunned.
She had been through it all. She knew what Lin Huihui had gone through to be like this. If Yu Yan did it, how would she and Lin Shikang get along in the future?
The two old women carried Lin Huihui to the room, washed her body, and changed her into clean clothes.
Lin Huihui walked like a zombie, without speaking or making a sound.
Lin Shikang gave Fang Lei a few instructions, and then he called Donkey Egg aside and asked him about what had happened that night.
Donkey Egg then told him everything he had seen.
Lin Shikang then realized that he had not seen Yuhe anywhere from beginning to end, and immediately ordered Wu Chang'an to go and find her.
Lin Shikang instructed Donkey Egg: "Donkey Egg, can you keep tonight's events a secret?"
"Uncle, don't worry, I won't tell anyone, including Niu Dan."
Lin Shikang nodded and gave him another two taels of silver, telling him to go back and rest.
Shortly after, Yuan Yajing entered, looking guilty: "Lin Lang..."
Lin Shikang glanced at her and said, "Xiaoya, I've told you about my situation before. You should know that I only have Huihui as a child. I originally wanted to find her a good husband so that I could also move forward, but now..."
Lin Shikang was poor and had no money. If he wanted to advance further, marriage was the only shortcut. However, his three daughters, Er Ya and San Ya, had already left the Lin family and followed Yang Cui, so he could not rely on them at all. The only one he could rely on was Lin Huihui.
But given Lin Huihui's current situation, let alone becoming a concubine in a wealthy or powerful family, even a family of equal social standing might not be willing to accept her.
"Lin Lang, I didn't know this would happen. Don't worry, I will definitely give you an explanation."
"Explain? How are you going to explain?" Lin Shikang smiled bitterly. "Yu Yan is your daughter, how are you going to explain? Beat her up, or make her... I always thought they were just sisters bickering. I love you, even though Yu Yan doesn't accept me as her stepfather. For your sake, when she had a conflict with Hui Hui, I scolded Hui Hui, hoping she would accept me. But now..."
Lin Shikang's gaze towards Yuan Yajing became complex, filled with pain and reluctance...
Yuan Yajing became anxious and frightened: "Lin Lang, what do you mean? You don't mean to divorce me, do you? Lin Lang, my heart for you is as clear as the sun and moon."
Yuan Yajing cried.
She had no choice in her first marriage, but she truly loved Lin Shikang very much.
"I don't know what to do either. Xiaoya, I want to be alone." After saying that, Lin Shikang turned and left, returning to his study.
Yuan Yajing clenched her fists, feeling utterly annoyed, and immediately returned to her parents' home.
When Yuan Yajing returned to her parents' home late at night, Yuan Weimin thought she had been bullied, but he never expected that such a thing had happened!
"How can Lin Lang and I get along after Yu Yan did such a thing?" Yuan Ya Jing wished she could give He Yu Yan a good beating.
"Yu Yan, did you really do it?" Yuan Weimin asked.
He Yuyan said gloatingly, "Yes, I had it done. Who told that bitch to dare compete with me for a husband?"
"What do you mean by that?" The Yuan family members looked at each other in bewilderment.
"Lin Huihui took a fancy to Wang Shaoqing and even embroidered a sachet for him, filled with red beans to express her longing. Since she's in heat and wants men so much, I'll satisfy her and find her four."
Lin Huihui's feelings for Wang Shaoqing were something no one had expected.
However, He Yuyan had Lin Huihui raped, and if the Yuan family didn't want to break with Lin Shikang, they had to resolve this matter.
