Chapter 434: Chapter 434 Doting on the Concubine and Destroying the Wife

If Prime Minister Lin really did that...

Considering that possibility, Lin Xuanxuan couldn’t help but flash a hint of distress in her eyes.

She had thought about it, about flattering Prime Minister Lin just like Lin Fuying did.

But even if she did so, she probably couldn’t learn Lin Fuying’s insincere pretenses.

"If something really is discovered, can you give me the evidence first?"

Lin Xuanxuan blinked her eyes, and in that brief moment, she had made up her mind.

"If you reveal these things directly, it certainly won’t have a good effect, and they might even turn the situation around and accuse us instead."

"By then, my father will definitely think that I am trying to frame them, and that I’ve conspired with outsiders."

After all, her father had been completely brainwashed by those two, and if it weren’t for her maternal family’s remaining influence, with several uncles in the court as officials, he might have already favored the concubine and eliminated his wife.

Of course, as the Prime Minister, he naturally values his reputation a great deal, so even if he really did something shameful, he wouldn’t let outsiders spectate the commotion.

Lin Xuanxuan was worried that if her father was really persuaded by Concubine Li, he might even condone their plotting against her mother.

"I need to speak to my maternal grandfather and uncles first about this matter. If she really plotted against my mother all those years ago, my uncles will definitely want to seek justice for her!"

Lin Xuanxuan thought it through clearly. After all, when facing Prime Minister Lin, there was always the constraint of their father-daughter relationship, and with filial piety involved, she could never go too far.

On the contrary, the Prime Minister could easily crush her with the accusation of being unfilial.

"Don’t worry about it," Chu Nanli reached out to tidy up her disheveled hair and continued with a consoling tone, "Remember, I will always stand by your side. Just ask if you need any help."

"Thank you."

Countless words of gratitude were condensed into those two words.

Lin Xuanxuan understood that as a friend, Chu Nanli really didn’t have to go to such lengths.

But she spoke up anyway.

Just this favor alone was worth her eternal gratitude.

Chu Nanli just smiled. Since she truly considered Lin Xuanxuan a friend, she naturally wouldn’t mind this bit.

Moreover, Lin Xuanxuan had helped her before.

"Alright, we still haven’t found anything yet, we’ll talk about it once we have."

Although Chu Nanli had not experienced such things, she understood Lin Xuanxuan’s current feelings.

The Prime Minister was indeed being a bit excessive towards Lin Xuanxuan and her mother these days.

After all, the Prime Minister’s wife was his first wife.

His favoritism towards Lin Fuying and her mother was almost entirely out in the open now.

How could such a man be a father?

"Alright, I don’t think you came today just to have such depressing conversations with me."

"Since it’s still early, how about you accompany me for a walk outside?"

Chu Nanli didn’t want her mood to be spoiled over such matters.

Lin Xuanxuan’s eyes brightened: "That sounds good, I just happen to choose some jewelry, as I haven’t bought any new pieces for quite a while."

Since they were just walking around the capital, Lin Xuanxuan wasn’t worried that someone would be foolish enough to offend Chu Nanli.

Because Chu Nanli’s condition was already quite inconvenient, she had to prepare quite a few things before going out.

Fortunately, Yanyan had grown up quite a bit now.

Packing her belongings was something she had long since become adept at.

What Chu Nanli hadn’t expected, though, was to see that annoying person just as she reached the door.

"Sister..."

Several days had passed, and Lin Fuying’s expression was still utterly revolting.

"Enough," Chu Nanli’s brows furrowed tightly, "I believe I’ve mentioned before, I have no sister like you."

Seeing that she wasn’t willing to engage, Lin Fuying had no choice but to cast her pitiable gaze towards Lin Xuanxuan instead.

But Lin Xuanxuan’s attitude was unmistakably colder, "My mother taught me since I was a child to never be too kind to a concubine-born sister, after all, who knows if it will raise an ungrateful wolf?"

"Nowadays, you are a noble and esteemed concubine, which is more than I can say for myself."

"Are the two elder sisters still blaming Yingying? But truly, Yingying is anxious and doesn’t know what offense she has committed..."

Lin Xuanxuan didn’t wait for her to finish speaking and had already defensively positioned herself in front of Chu Nanli.

"If you have something to say, say it, if not, please get out of the way!"

She cast a cold glance at Lin Fuying, and the more Lin Xuanxuan saw of her act, the more she believed this mother and daughter must have secretly harmed her own mother.

It’s just that she hadn’t found the evidence yet.

"There’s a saying, ’a good dog doesn’t block the path,’ haven’t you heard of it?"

Lin Xuanxuan had never felt such disgust for Lin Fuying as she did now.

Waiting intentionally at the door, and putting on such a contrived act, she must be harboring ill intentions!

Even though Lin Xuanxuan’s words were reasonable, Chu Nanli still stopped her.

After all, Lin Fuying was far too good at acting, and Lin Xuanxuan’s straightforward confrontation would only leave her at a disadvantage.

She calmly looked at Lin Fuying, "Shouldn’t you be in the War King Residence resting during your pregnancy? Isn’t wandering about like this harmful to the child in your womb?"

Chu Nanli glanced at Lin Fuying’s abdomen, the strange feeling in her heart growing stronger.

But now was clearly not a good time to probe further.

Lin Xuanxuan still couldn’t hold back a jab, "What, now that you’re pregnant, the War King can’t even accompany you when you go out?"

"The Prince is busy with his duties every day, naturally, he cannot attend to such trifles," said Lin Fuying, while inside she seethed with hatred but still maintained an outward façade of friendliness.

"I came here, in fact, to talk to Sister Chu about that child’s matter."

"That is, after all, your own flesh and blood; could it be you really intend to ignore it completely?"

As expected, Lin Fuying was here to talk about the child.

Seeing her make such a fuss to come here, Chu Nanli was somewhat taken aback at first, but now that Lin Fuying had begun speaking, her worries diminished.

After all, that child could absolutely not be her own flesh and blood.

Seeing that Chu Nanli wasn’t responding, Lin Fuying had no choice but to keep talking: "Sister Chu, there were indeed some misunderstandings between us, but it was not my intention."

"Now this child has finally survived; don’t you have the least desire to see him even once?"

"Just a misunderstanding?"

As soon as Lin Xuanxuan heard this, her anger surged forth.

"After all the evil you’ve done, you think a mere misunderstanding can cover it up? Don’t think that I’m unaware of it—if it weren’t for you, how could Nanli have suffered the pain of losing a child?"

"I don’t care where this child comes from, but today, if you plan to continue using this matter to scheme against others, I will be the first to not let you off!"
