Chapter 369
Dispirited, Xiao Zi Xuan left Xiao residence. Her mind replayed the impatient look on Xiao Yi Lin's face and there was disbelief on her face as her heart ached.
"Just what is going on. " Xiao Zi Xuan murmured in a low voice.
At this moment of time, she did not want to return to Ling residence. She would rather spend her time loitering outside.
Like a lifeless body, Xiao Zi Xuan loitered on the streets, unwared of the voices that were discussing her.
From afar, Xiao Zi Xuan could see Qiao Tian Chang walking towards her with Ning Meng Yao, his hands hugging her intimately. The blissfulness from the couple send Xiao Zi Xuan into a daze. She could not afford to lose either her child or Ling Luo.
Xiao Zi Xuan turned and made her way back to Ling Residence. Ning Meng Yao and the others were puzzled by her sudden departure, but paid no further attention to it.
After Xiao Zi Xuan returned to Ling Residence, she had an audience with her secret soldier and ordered them to investigate the matter.
While the investigation was going on, Xiao Zi Xuan was also more mindful of what Ling Luo previously said.
Three days later, her secret soldier was back with the news that shook her greatly, "What? Say that again."
"After Your Highness had left the residence, the Duke went to his wife's courtyard, and got the information that Your Highness is not his flesh and blood." the secret soldier replied as a matter of fact, his face did not have any unnecessary expression.
Xiao Zi Xuan fell into the ground, she stared out blankly into the air, it took her a few moments to regain herself, "no one else should know about this."
"Understood."
After her secret soldier hid himself in the shadows, Xiao Zi Xuan got up from the floor and sat on her chair. No wonder Father looked at her with such complicated feelings today, she could not understand what he meant, but now she did.
Her father had doted on her for so many years, he did not ask her to scram off or cut off ties with her after knowing the truth, such actions were only made because he took their past relationship into account.
But she detests Li Lin Er, who was to be blamed for landing her in her current state.
Xiao Zi Xuan's eyes were filled with her hatred for Li Lin Er.
It seemed like she had to take action soon, but how would she do so without implicating her father in the matter? She cannot put him in a difficult position because of her action, although his attitude towards her changed, he was still a doting father.
The thought of her father sent Xiao Zi Xuan some comfort.
Li Lin Er was released from the basement cell on the third day of her imprisonment, she snickered at the sight of her familiar courtyard.
She knew that Xiao Yi Lin would not take any serious action against her.
Li Lin Er's eyes turned vicious as she looked down to the scars and injury on her hand, she would definitely take her revenge and make Xiao Yi Lin have a taste of his own medicine.
Xiao Yi Lin caught the hatred in Li Lin Er's eyes when he walked in, he walked over and reach out to lift her chin, forcing her to look at him, "I will murder your family if anything happens to Ya'er."
"Don't you dare."
"You can try, but even if I don’t, do you think Nangong Yan would spare you and your family, not to mention Ning Meng Yao and her husband. They're Ya'er's daughter and son-in-law."
Li Lin Er's expression changed, she totally forgot about the three of them, Nangong Yan was a luniac, there was no point trying to talk sense into him.
As for Ning Meng Yao and her husband, she knew that they were not someone to be messed with from how they handled the three families.
The thought of it sent chills down Li Lin Er's spine, she was regretting her actions a little.
But it seemed as though she thought of something else, the regrets on her face turned into a snicker, her gaze towards Xiao Yi Lin was full of despise, "you can try, we shall see who would be the one that suffers."
Li Lin Er's words sent Xiao Yi Lin into thinking. It seemed like Ning Mneg Yao's deduction was correct, there was indeed someone backing Li Lin Er up from the shadows.
