Chapter 485: Chapter 485: Prime Minister Lin’s Questioning

In his view, the wife of the Prime Minister had gone too far this time.

Without saying a word, she returned to the Liao Family and then had the Liao Family send news of the divorce, refusing even to show her face.

Did she really think she could control him like this?

If that were the case, the Prime Minister would definitely not agree.

"But why would Mother, of all people, have such a thought? Could she have been influenced by something?"

Lin Fuying’s face was full of worry, as if she genuinely cared for the Prime Minister and his wife.

"Father, I heard that Sister has been quite close to Sister Chu lately."

"Are you talking about Chu Nanli?"

The Prime Minister had naturally heard various rumors about Chu Nanli.

The news of Chu Nanli’s divorce was causing a stir, and the public opinion about it was mixed.

But in the Prime Minister’s view, it was all Chu Nanli’s fault!

Being a commoner, she was incredibly lucky to have married the Prince.

How dare she even consider a divorce?

"She spends her days mixing with all sorts of disreputable people, no wonder she’s picked up bad habits!"

The Prime Minister was already furious, and now, hearing Lin Fuying say this, he naturally directed his anger towards others.

After all, he would never admit that he was at fault.

"This is absolutely ridiculous, I’ve always said she should learn some manners, and now not only has she not learned manners, she’s even causing turmoil at home!"

Now, the Prime Minister was clearly blaming everything on Lin Xuanxuan.

If she hadn’t been misbehaving, always hanging around with people like Chu Nanli, the Prime Minister’s wife wouldn’t have been influenced.

"Father, perhaps Sister just wanted to achieve something to win your favor. Don’t be too harsh on her."

Lin Fuying, eager for the Prime Minister to despise Lin Xuanxuan even more, naturally didn’t mind slandering her further.

"But I’m still worried that Sister might be dragged down by others and ruin her reputation, making her unsuitable for marriage."

"With her current behavior, she wants to be married off?"

The Prime Minister’s attitude when he mentioned Lin Xuanxuan was not at all like that towards his own daughter but rather like an enemy who had a deep-seated grudge against him.

This time, whether she divorced or not, he would no longer care about this unfilial daughter!

"She truly has no sense of shame. I knew this would happen, I should have drowned her at birth!"

The Prime Minister’s emotions rose, and his insults towards Lin Xuanxuan were unbearable to hear.

Lin Fuying did not interrupt, but waited for the Prime Minister to vent his emotions before she tentatively posed her question.

"Father, is what the Liao Family said true?"

Though Lin Fuying had already concluded that the truth might very well be what the Liao Family had discovered,

in front of the Prime Minister, she still had to pretend to be skeptical and was determined to distance herself from the matter.

"As for the truth of the matter, I’ll have someone verify it."

The Prime Minister had not seen any flaws in Lady Li’s story, so he naturally became suspicious of the Liao Family’s statement.

Still, he would have to conduct his own investigation to discover how things really stood.

...

Living at the Liao Family’s house, Lin Xuanxuan was much more at ease than at the Prime Minister Residence.

At least, she could go wherever she wanted without worrying about the Prime Minister scolding her for no reason.

However, the Prime Minister’s attitude unavoidably caused her inner turmoil.

When meeting with Chu Nanli, she couldn’t help but voice all her frustrations.

"I really don’t know what my father is thinking. The evidence was clear, yet he still refuses to punish Auntie Li and even wishes to act as if nothing ever happened!"

Thinking of this, Lin Xuanxuan remembered the child who had died early in her mother’s womb.

If that child had been born safely, her mother wouldn’t have had to suffer so much over the years.

Now, even though the Prime Minister clearly knew what Auntie Li had done, he still chose to protect her. How could Lin Xuanxuan swallow this grievance?

"What about your mother?"

Chu Nanli had not expected the Prime Minister to make such a choice.

It seemed he truly desired a son to carry on his lineage.

"My mother has long lost any hope for him. She’s only willing to stay in the Prime Minister Residence and hold the position as the wife of the Prime Minister because I am not yet married."

When the Prime Minister’s wife married the Prime Minister, she too once had her youthful admiration.

Unfortunately, the Prime Minister’s actions over the years had completely eroded her affection for him.

She no longer cared about the Prime Minister, and after learning about the dangers Lin Xuanxuan had nearly faced and her thoughts of divorce, her resolve was naturally very firm.

"If that’s the case, as long as her attitude is firm, you needn’t worry about anything."

Chu Nanli knew in his heart that Madam Liao now had the support of the Liao Family.

As long as she was willing, she would definitely be able to divorce successfully.

"I think so too," Lin Xuanxuan was certainly aware of this, but she still couldn’t help feeling angry, "I just feel like, by doing this, he doesn’t consider me and my mother as his family at all."

"If that’s the case, then I won’t recognize him in the future!"

After all, from childhood, the Prime Minister had always only praised Lin Fuying and took pride in her, never caring about her feelings.

In her younger years, she also wondered why the Prime Minister did not like her, and his scolding made her restless.

"Let’s not talk about this anymore, I brought the gifts for the little one, I’ve been preparing these things for a long time, and I don’t know if he will like them."

Lin Xuanxuan quickly cast aside those negative emotions and began showing Chu Nanli the items she had brought one by one.

She had ordered a pure gold longevity lock a month in advance, heavy in her hands, with a brilliant golden color that was incredibly splendid.

In addition, she had prepared many soft brocades and had several different styles of tiger hats made, which looked quite impressive when piled together.

Chu Nanli chuckled, "You’ve prepared so much, when do you plan to use it all?"

"It’s not that much, wasn’t I able to earn so much silver thanks to you?"

Lin Xuanxuan had learned quite a bit from Chu Nanli and applied it to her stores, increasing the profits by as much as thirty percent.

This silver was all hers.

"Now, I’d rather spend all this silver; otherwise, who knows if someone will squander it!"

Over the years, the Prime Minister had often made excuses to take silver from her mother.

The Prime Minister was able to rise to his position not only because of his exceptional personal ability but also because of his wife’s vigorous support.

The wife of the Prime Minister’s dowry had filled in who knows how many gaps.
