Chapter 253 - What Did He Do Wrong?! (1/2)

Yao Ling explained, ”Because of the poisonous drugs, she had been indulging herself with the prince sėxuȧŀly... It made her almost going crazy because she thought it was an disgusting act. She was afraid that General Lin would be dirtied by her if she came back. She wasn't as pure or innocent as back then. Everything had changed on her part, however, the general must have been stuck in the past.”

Yao Ling wanted to say that... her mother must have been afraid that the general couldn't accept her change. In her fragile state of mind, how could she dare to gamble once again? If she was hurt once again, she would crumble...

Lin Jian and Yao Ying started to gain an understanding about it... Lin Jian asked weakly, ”But... it wasn't her fault, to begin with...” However, he knew... the damage had been done. Even though his father would be willingly to accept her as who she was, the latter wouldn't necessarily thought the same...

A barrier had been created between them and it would always exist. They only felt sad, because the Ce Fei didn't trust the general's love... Not only the general's love... but, their love...

Lin Jian remembered something, ”What's your mother's name?”

Yao Ling answered, ”Jiu Lan...”

Lin Jian sighed and answered, ”I don't think there's a need to confirm it again. It's my mother's name...” However, deep within, he knew that he wouldn't tell his father directly about this or the latter would get a heart attack.

When the other three heard Lin Jian's words, they could only sigh too...

The same mother, huh?

That night, they bound to be sleeping restlessly... There were too many thoughts that were fleeting inside their mind... It was indeed a bittersweet truth...

The next day, Lin Jian sent a message to his father and ask about his mother's distinguished character. Lin Jian deliberately didn't mention what he had found out... He wanted to make sure everything was indeed real before telling his father. The latter had been through a lot and he didn't dare to let his hopes up unnecessarily.

They continued their journey and the awkwardness from the previous day had been gone. They were back just like how they used to be, but something shifted in their relationship. They became closer and felt a kinship with each other. They treated each other more than best friends, but also brothers and sisters.

Naturally, this change didn't go unnoticed by the others --- such as Xiu, Xiao Yu, General Hu, and Xiao Fang's maids. However, they didn't bother to ask around and accepted the change happily.

When Xiao Fang knew that Yao Ling had her mother's love, she didn't feel jealous and hatred towards her. She felt that this world certainly had a way to bring happiness despite their bad luck when they were only babies. Xiao Fang received a new family that loved her wholeheartedly, on the other hand, Yao Ling survived because her on depressed mother and in turn, they became each other's source of strength to live.

This made her determined to help Yao Ying when the latter did his confession. She only pointed at the best place in their kingdom, but she didn't know what his plan was. It certainly made her feel curious... One day left and they would arrive at that place. Without the others' knowledge, Xiao Fang came over to him and asked, ”Have you cooked up a good plan?”

Yao Ying felt uncomfortable when he saw Xiao Fang without a veil, after all, it felt like the one who asked this question was his mother-in-law ah~! Yao Ying tried not to look at Xiao Fang's face while answering, ”Yes...”

”Can you let me know?” Xiao Fang asked.

Yao Ying raised one of his eyebrows, ”Why?” He wasn't a romantic person, to begin with. Doing this was his first time, he didn't want to let Xiao Fang know --- just in case he embarrassed himself ah~!

”I just want to make sure that you will do the right thing. After all, Yao Ling is my sister!” Xiao Fang said righteously, making Yao Ying's face darkened. Yes, Yao Ling was indeed her stepsister, but Yao Ling was his wife ah~! Of course, he would do the right thing.

However, he appreciated Xiao Fang's concern. He was afraid that the truth would affect both women's relationship. It looked like it didn't and he could sigh in relief.
