Chapter 659: Chapter 659: He is Really Stupid!

"Mistress, do you mean..."

"What’s the use of keeping someone who can be swayed by a few casual words from a woman?" Lin Caisang looked at him indifferently, countering the question.

If something happened in the future, the people who would betray Nine Lotus Hall first would certainly be these people. It’s better to discover them now than to be betrayed at the most critical moment, and promptly eliminate them from the equation. How wonderful that would be.

"What Nine Lotus Hall needs is not a larger number of people, but unity. If hearts are not aligned, what use is it having a large group of people? They are merely a bunch of commoners coming together, pursued by the desire for food and warmth. When a major incident occurs, who among you can rely on these people?"

"This..."

On hearing her words, the follower was taken aback.

"Mistress is right, my thoughts were sidetracked."

Previously, he was constantly worried about what Qin Luoyin had turned Nine Lotus Hall into. But having such a woman here isn’t completely devoid of benefits, is it?

At least, those who weren’t sincerely following the Hall Master really stood out after this woman’s appearance.

"You lot may leave now."

Ya Molian waved his hand at Zhe Jue and the other followers.

"We will take our leave."

Zhe Jue and his fellows promptly left.

Only when the two were the only ones left in the hall did Ya Molian speak to Lin Caisang.

"Caisang, my mother’s family name is Qin. When Qin Luoyin originally thought that she had saved my life, I kept her in the palace for medical treatment, considering the relation to my mother. However, I definitely did not expect her to stay in the palace for so many years."

That occurred four years ago when Nine Lotus Hall had just established its reputation. Back then Qin Luoyin was still a young girl, she was a relative of his mother’s family, and he believed, in all sincerity, that his mother was genuinely looking out for him.

Looking back now, Qin Luoyin saving him, and later entering Nine Lotus Hall, were all premeditated moves by those people.

It’s rather ridiculous when you think about it. Other than conspiracies, what else is there around him?

He had really been naïve!

"Hah."

Lin Caisang laughed again.

She had been wondering why he was in such a hurry to have Zhe Jue and the others leave before they finished discussing the affairs of White Blind Mountain. So it turns out he was eager to explain Qin Luoyin’s situation.

But, she hadn’t thought of it in that light.

"Why bother explaining these things to me? If I couldn’t trust even this much, would I have agreed to the engagement?"

"I felt that, I should clarify these things." Ya Molian replied.

The two of them were going to be together forever, if these issues were not addressed outright and kept festering, over time they would accumulate to a point of unease.

It’s better to deal with each issue as it comes, so there are no misunderstandings between them and they can enjoy a lasting relationship.

"Hmm."

Lin Caisang nodded.

"However, now that Qin Luoyin’s name has been brought up, it’s time we really discussed this."

"I understand."

Ya Molian was well aware of what Caisang meant, he also understood it clearly.

He had not realised before that his mother was so calculating, even when it came to her own son. Now that he did, it was clear that there must have been a reason for them to place Luoyin in Nine Lotus Hall.

As for Qin Luoyin, while he didn’t know her well, the fact that she could stay in Nine Lotus Hall for so long alone and create issues for his most trusted followers demonstrated that she had her own unique way of doing things and was a master of manipulation.
