Chapter 903: I Was Too Greedy, I Was Delusional
In this way, Dai’er did not have to endure silently and make herself suffer.
Hearing Xi Jin’s words, which meant he was completely standing on her side, Shen Yunya could not help but excitedly raised her eyebrows. She snuggled up in his arms and made a light sound of assent. It looked like Big Brother Jin really was in love with her and was dismissive of Shen Qingdai.
Feng Tianlan had come to Zhaoyang Palace but had not yet entered when she was stopped by a palace maid who said, “Miss Feng, the princess has just fallen asleep. She said that were you to come, to have you please go back first. She will come to you some other time.”
Feng Tianlan took a look at the palace maid and did not waste her breath on her. She directly dashed past her and then entered Zhaoyang Palace.
“Miss Feng.” The palace maid panicked and hastened to catch up. But she was just a palace maid and could not catch up to Feng Tianlan.
Feng Tianlan came directly to the bed chambers and saw Xi Lin weakly leaned partially on the bedside, with a spittoon next to her. The air had a sour smell and a palace maid waited on her with some mouthwash. Then she laid down again.
“Sister Lin.” Feng Tianlan lightly bit her lower lip. Her eyes stared intently at the pale and thin-looking Xi Lin.
Xi Lin started and raised her eyes to look at Feng Tianlan. She was somewhat stunned as she muttered, “Tianlan, you…”
“Princess, your humble servant really couldn’t stop Miss Feng. I ask Princess to please punish me.” The palace maid who caught up quickly knelt on the floor and kowtowed as she begged for mercy.
Xi Lin returned to her normal composure and waved her hands as she said, “You all leave first.”
The serving palace maids carried the spittoon and retreated, leaving only the two of them.
“Tianlan, I’m fine. I’ve been feeling a little sick to my stomach lately. I was afraid you would be worried so I didn’t want you to see me,” Xi Lin explained as she looked up and smiled.
Feng Tianlan slowly stepped forward and sat down by Xi Lin’s bedside. She looked at her with guilt in her eyes and said, “Sister Lin, I have told you such a major thing. So why won’t you confide in me? Why must you hide it from me?”
Xi Lin went rigid and said, “No…”
“Sister Lin, trust is mutual. Perhaps I am not trustworthy. Or do you blame me?” Feng Tianlan saw that Xi Lin’s petite face appeared thinner and paler. Tianlan’s gaze fell on her belly.
Shen Yunya was telling the truth at this time, wasn’t she?
Xi Lin hurriedly grabbed Feng Tianlan’s hand and anxiously explained, saying, “Tianlan, I do not blame you. You are not to be blamed for this matter. I was too greedy. I was delusional.”
She would blame anyone in this world, but not Tianlan. The Xi family owed Tianlan too much.
“So what happened that night, as well as now, is true?” Feng Tianlan looked closely at Xi Lin’s belly. She completely dared not believe that a small life was present inside such a flat stomach.
Xi Lin held Feng Tianlan’s hand tightly and nodded after a while. She said, “I… I want to give birth to him.”
“Sister Lin…” Feng Tianlan suddenly raised her eyes and looked at Xi Lin in shock. She wanted to say something but did not know what.
Xi Lin averted her eyes and clasped her hands over her belly. Her face was pale but filled with a loving and happy smile as she said, “Tianlan, I like him very much. I have liked him from a young age, so I often bully him in order to attract his attention. I intend to take that night’s memory and grow old alone with it. But heaven took pity on me and gifted me with a young life.
“It’s a life and a continuation of my and He Lianhuang’s lives, so I’m going to give birth to him no matter what I have to go through.”
She loved He Lianhuang and also loved their child. It was also a young life. How could she give him up because of some difficulties?
