37 This is Only the Interes (2/2)
When Jo Han had been thrown out, Lin Tang focused his attention to his wife. He didn't really believe that Chun Maora would ever dare to cheat on him with that kind of man. But seeing the two of them in the same quarter was truly testing his patience. Even if he had suspicions, he would leave it for later.
”From now on, you cannot come out of your quarter for a month.”
Chun Maora's face turned pale. Ever since she was elevated from a concubine to an official wife, when had she experienced this kind of treatment? She kneeled once again.
”This wife is truly innocent. Please believe me.”
Lin Tang stared at Chun Maora coldly. The warm treatment he usually gave towards Chun Maora disappeared without any trace. The only one left was his cold and detached aura which completely suppressed Chun Maora. It was at this time that Chun Maora finally remembered that her husband was not just a nobody; he was an accomplished Prime Minister of the Left of Ming Kingdom.
”Even if I want to believe you, I cannot erase what I have just seen,” Lin Tang said coldly. He turned his head towards Lin Yuan's mother, Concubine Sie. He remembered this woman was quite capable and she had a daughter too.
”You will be in charge of this household for this month.”
Concubine Sie felt overwhelmed by this sudden favor. She hurriedly kneeled and said her thanks while Lin Yuan remained standing on her side clearly stunned at this turn of events.
After that, Lin Tang dispersed the servants as he went outside. The events from today had completely drained his energy.
”Yuan'er, now I can choose a better marriage prospect for you,” Concubine Sie's eyes shone. Although it was only a month, it was more than enough for her to pick a better husband candidate for Lin Yuan. With her in charge, everything would definitely go smoother.
Lin Yuan nodded repeatedly. She glanced towards Chun Maora who was returning to her quarter with a dark face. The fire was small and there was even no need for such a heavy commotion. But the big ruckus was enough to cause the favor that Lin Tang had for Chun Maora to disappear.
On the side, Lin San's face was dark. Everything had been planned carefully, why should an incident like this happen? With her mother being grounded, Lin San realized that she wouldn't have any chance to make Lin Yuan's life difficult. Although Concubine Sie also wouldn't dare to make her life difficult, Lin San knew that during this time, Lin Yuan must be truly happy.
She suddenly wished that her brother was here. If Lin Hong was home, he would definitely still be able to talk his way to Lin Tang to give their mother a better treatment. After all, Lin Hong was the future heir of the Lin family. Unfortunately, at this important juncture, he was busy with the task he had at the academy and was currently staying there for an extended period.
Hidden from everyone else, a figure stood calmly with two servants by her side. She smiled as she watched the events unfold before her eyes. Not a single ripple could be seen from her calm face.
”Good work, Xia and Xiao Yun.”
”Thank you Miss. We're only doing our work.”
Jun Hua stared at the quarter with cold eyes. Within her heart she says quietly, 'This is only the interest for what you did to my mother. But you don't have to worry because I will still let you enjoy your happy life for a short period of time.'
