Chapter 1314: 178, Solve_4

Lin Yuan and Xiao Linshuang were personally escorted to the front courtyard by Lady Bai, who clearly did not intend to leave. She insisted on seeing them to the gate herself. The treatment was far different from when they had entered, and both Lin Yuan and Xiao Linshuang exchanged glances, unable to resist curling their lips in disdain.

Upon reaching the gate, there were the usual pleasantries. Just as they were about to board the carriage, they heard Lady Bai suddenly shout, "Wait!"

Turning around in confusion, they saw a young man alighting from the carriage, who bore a slight resemblance to Lady Bai.

"Miss Lin, this is my son, Han Chaosheng," Lady Bai said with a smile that was both eager and ingratiating as she introduced them to each other.

Han Chaosheng, the half-brother of Han Huijuan, had recently become legitimate, following Lady Bai’s elevation to principal wife. Resembling Lady Bai to some extent, Han Chaosheng was not unattractive, but in comparison to someone as striking as Xia Zheng, he fell far short. However, standing tall with pale skin and red lips, he had a very neat appearance at first glance.

Lin Yuan raised her eyebrows, not believing that Lady Bai’s introduction of Han Chaosheng was to set them up romantically, especially since Lady Bai was now aware of her identity and her relationship with Xia Zheng.

Lin Yuan smiled and nodded at Han Chaosheng, said nothing further, and boarded the carriage with Xiao Linshuang. However, the sharp-eyed Lin Yuan still noticed the lecherous gaze that Han Chaosheng cast towards Xiao Linshuang.

Xiao Linshuang was only seven years old, clearly still a child.

Thinking back to what Ying Ge had asked Xue Ge to do to help the eldest young master, Lin Yuan finally understood—this seemingly cultured Han Chaosheng was actually a beast in human skin, specifically preying on young girls!

Upon realizing this, Lin Yuan’s feelings toward Han Chaosheng soured. She glanced back at the gate of the Han mansion, which, although grand and glossy on the surface, was actually filthy through and through.

In the melting pot that was the Capital city, such households were not uncommon.

Shaking her head silently, Lin Yuan tightly held Xiao Linshuang’s hand, deciding that when it came time for her sisters to marry, she would have to be very careful about scrutinizing their suitors—not only their personalities but their families as well. She would need to keep away from families that were outwardly attractive but rotten on the inside.

As Lin Yuan’s carriage departed, Lady Bai finally let out a deep sigh of relief, "I never expected that Huijuan, that quiet girl, would actually know such a person! What a delightful surprise!"

With no outsiders present, Han Chaosheng’s true nature showed—he slouched, his eyes lacked vivacity, and his face bore an irreverent expression. "It’s just a young maid, isn’t she? The clothes she wears are not even as good as those of the maids in my rooms!"

"You cheeky boy!" Lady Bai lightly smacked her son on the head and chided him, "Don’t talk nonsense! Do you know who she is? She’s Lin Yuan, the woman who has been the talk of the town recently!"

Han Chaosheng may not have been an average, unsophisticated scholar; his eyes lit up with interest, "Lin Yuan? The Third Prince’s foster sister?"

Lady Bai nodded, smiling cunningly, "If you establish a good relationship with her, your career could surpass even your father’s!"

Han Chaosheng also laughed heartily but then frowned, "Mother, you’ve forgotten, she and the Second Young Master of the General’s Mansion are..."

"Ah! Of course, I know," Lady Bai patted her son’s hand reassuringly, her eyes filled with determination, "If we can’t get the eldest, isn’t there still the second?"

Han Chaosheng grimaced, "Actually, I find the third one more to my taste."

"Chaosheng!"

Lady Bai suddenly became stern, "As someone who will be a high-ranking official, you must stop getting involved in these sordid affairs! Moreover, your sister is moving back into her old quarters today, and you are not to disturb her! Remember, she has grown up; she is not the naive little girl she once was. If you dare bring shame upon her, do not blame your mother for not being able to protect you!"

Han Chaosheng grimaced again and, although clearly reluctant, finally nodded under the stern interrogation of Lady Bai.
