Chapter 984: Left behind, betrayed and separated
People need to know how to be content. Lin Chujiu doesn't know if her younger brother understands it, but it doesn't matter. Some people were forced to grow up. Even if he doesn't understand, he will learn. If he doesn't learn, he can only endure. This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com
"The crime your mother committed is not too serious according to the law. She will be imprisoned for up to 3 years. You can choose to leave the capital with your father, or you can choose to wait in the capital for your mother to come out." Speaking of it, she was still kind to Madam Lin.
In the East, it was not a crime for a mother to kill her daughter, but it was a crime for a stepmother to poison her eldest daughter. But she didn't die, so Madam Lin's crime will not be too serious. As long as she and Xiao Tianyao do not interfere with the trial, Madam Lin will not be imprisoned for a long time.
If it weren't for this, Madam wouldn't let the guards take her away without a struggle, nor would she have ever mentioned the silver she gave Lin Chujiu.
Madam Lin was smarter than Prime Minister Lin. A smart person knows when to fight for it and when to accept fate.
"I, I..." The younger brother opened his mouth but did not dare to speak.
Of course, he wanted to stay in the capital until his mother was released from prison. He does not want to leave with his father, but will his Sister Lin Chujiu agree?
And if he stays, what will his Sister Lin Wanting do?
He would never let his Sister Lin Wanting go with their father alone.
"I don't want to leave the capital. I want to wait for my mother to come out." When Lin Wanting heard Lin Chujiu's words, her dull eyes suddenly brightened. She stepped forward and held Lin Chujiu's hand: "Sister Chujiu, please help me. I don’t want to follow Father. Can you let me stay? Father, he wants to give me to an old man in his 50s as a concubine. Sister Chujiu, I beg you, I beg you please, I will be obedient from now on. I will never be willful again, please don’t let me leave with Father. He will sell me, he will..."
The more Lin Wanting cried, the sadder she became. And she burst into tears.
She has always been the apple of her Father's eye. He was very obedient to her. If she wanted the stars, he would not give her the moon. He made plans for her wholeheartedly. She wanted to marry the Crown Prince, he helped her to be the future Empress.
She has always taken all this for granted, thinking that her parents should naturally pamper her and that she deserves all of this.
Although something happened later that made her realize that her father did not dote on her as much as he seemed, she was still a unique existence in the Lin Family. She still had her mother's love and pampering. She doesn't have to worry about life.
But when the Lin Family fell into decline and her father ignored her wishes and mother's objections and wanted to give her to a bad old man as a concubine, she realized that she was nothing in her father's heart, she was just a chess piece.
Her Mother said that the only people who could save her were the Meng family’s uncle and Lin Chujiu, but neither the Meng family’s uncle nor Lin Chujiu were in the capital, so no one could help her.
"I never thought of driving you away. It was your father who wanted to take you away." Lin Chujiu, the scapegoat, did not help Lin Xiang.
"Why? Father, why did he do this?" The younger brother didn't know Prime Minister Lin chose to leave rather than die. After hearing Lin Chujiu's words, he became even more convinced that Prime Minister Lin still wanted to sell them.
"My sister and I are his biological children, why does he want to sell us again and again? Sister, why?" The younger brother looked at Lin Wanting with a blank expression and cried bitterly again.
He couldn't understand. Didn't his father say that everything he did was for the good of the Lin family and their siblings?
So why sell them again and again?
Lin Wanting, who had just escaped, had no time to be happy when she heard the words of the younger brother. She immediately stepped forward and hugged the younger brother: "Don't cry, brother, don't cry. I will protect you. From now on, we will only have our uncle and mother. Not our father.”
She doesn’t want their father anymore, she doesn’t dare to want him anymore.
“Is this a betrayal?” Lin Chujiu suddenly felt that it would be good to keep the Lin Family's siblings.
Since these two people have separated from Prime Minister Lin, it will not harm her if they stay in the capital and raise them, and they will also gain a good reputation.
Now, she needs a good reputation......
Xiao Tianyao didn't answer, he just held Lin Chujiu's hand and walked out: "The Lin Family's matter is settled, let's go." Some people could handle the Lin Family's affairs. They have been traveling for days, Lin Chujiu must be tired.
"Okay, let's go!" Lin Chujiu moved her fingers, interlocked with Xiao Tianyao's fingers, and said: "I like holding hands like this, hold my hand like this in the future, so that I won't be lost."
“I'll remember!” Xiao Tianyao glanced down and smiled fondly.
The two left side by side. Lin Wanting hugged the younger brother and cried even harder when she saw the two people walking away from each other......
Originally, Lin Chujiu was going to marry the Crown Prince. If she hadn't stolen Lin Chujiu's marriage, would she be the one who was happily and lovingly holding hands with Prince Xiao right now?
She regretted it!
But was there any use in regretting now?
Her Mother said that from now on, only she and her brother will be the only ones left in the family. She must be sensible. She cannot be as willful as before. She must protect her brother...
