She loses if she divorces, the reborn mistress only divorces her husband

Qin Lingyun's breath was choked, and her originally fierce expression turned into a guilty one.

He actually knew about this?

She was thinking of keeping it a secret for a while longer.

"What?" Chu Lin didn't believe it and turned to ask Qin Lingyun, "Lingyun, is what my mother said true?"

Qin Lingyun didn't need to answer, her expression already gave the answer.

Chu Lin's eyes widened, then he shook off Qin Lingyun's hand, pointed at her and said, "You are not adopted, why did you lie to me?!"

"I...I..." Qin Lingyun opened her mouth, but couldn't find an excuse for a moment.

He said viciously, "Son, she lied to you because she wanted to marry into our Chu family. Otherwise, as a concubine, how could she dream of becoming the Chu family's legal wife?"

"Chu Lin, I lied to you because I love you..." Qin Lingyun's eyes were blurred with tears, "You said you would marry me, right?"

Chu Lin didn't say anything, but walked to He with a dark face.

His actions showed his choice.

Qin Lingyun was about to collapse.

"Chu Lin, do you have a conscience? If I, an unmarried woman, elope with you, my reputation will be ruined. You must marry me! If you don't marry me, the Marquis' Mansion will not let you go!"

"Marquis' Mansion?" He snorted coldly, "You don't know yet? Wu'an Marquis' Mansion has collapsed. Old Madam Qin, Qin Changzhou and others, including your brother, have been imprisoned in the Dali Temple."

"The Dali Temple is looking for you everywhere. You are now a fugitive."

"Impossible, you lied to me!" Qin Lingyun didn't believe it and was so shocked that she even forgot to cry.

"If you don't believe it, go back to Beijing and ask anyone. Who in Beijing doesn't know about this?"

"Mom, is it true?" Chu Lin didn't believe it either.

"Why would I lie to you?" He looked at Qin Lingyun with disdain.

"Your biological father is Qin Changzhou, and your biological mother is Qin Changzhou's aunt Tang. Qin Changzhou committed murder and arson, and attempted to seize the title. He is doomed to die."

She easily revealed these secrets of the Marquis' Mansion, and Qin Lingyun's mind suddenly went blank. It was like a hammer hitting her. She lost her balance and fell to the ground.

Chu Lin wanted to help, but was stopped by He as soon as he stretched out his hand.

"Son, don't get involved with this kind of person. The emperor has even taken a look at this case. Her whole family is a criminal and they can't get away with it."

"No, no..." Qin Lingyun sat on the ground, shaking her head weakly, "No, you lied to me..."

He took two steps forward and kicked her.

"Qin Lingyun, I warn you, our Chu family has nothing to do with you. If you dare to get involved with us, I will not forgive you."

She didn't want to stay any longer, so she signaled Chu Lin to leave quickly.

Chu Lin raised his foot to follow, but Qin Lingyun grabbed the hem of his outer robe.

"Chu Lin, don't go, don't go. You said you would marry me, you said..."

She has nothing left.

She couldn't go back to the Marquis' Mansion, was penniless, and had eloped with a man. Who would dare to marry her?

"Qin Lingyun, I have nothing to do with you." Chu Lin's face turned pale.

"I want to marry the daughter of a noble family. Who do you think you are? You are wasting my time. From now on, we don't know each other. Let go."

Qin Lingyun held on tighter, as if this was her last hope in life.

He got anxious and kicked her on the shoulder.

Suddenly, she was kicked to the ground, her hands loosened, and she screamed in pain.

After struggling to get up, He and Chu Lin had already reached the gate of the courtyard.

"Chu Lin, Chu Lin..." Qin Lingyun ran over, the courtyard door closed in front of her, but could not be opened.

Chu Lin locked the courtyard door from the outside and warned again, "Remember, I don't know you, and we have nothing to do with each other."

Qin Lingyun pounded on the door frantically, but there was no movement outside.

"Chu Lin, you are such a heartless man, you will die a miserable death!"

"I'm going to report you to the clan house. I'm going to have you arrested by the Yingtian Prefecture, Chu Lin, you bastard!"

After shouting for a while, she slid down to the ground along the gate, buried her head in tears for a while, and then gradually stopped crying.

Chu Lin's mother probably didn't lie, otherwise she wouldn't be so anxious to take her son away and draw a line between them.

Is the Marquis' Mansion really finished?

What should she do?

Unable to enter the Chu family and without the protection of the Marquis' Mansion, her future life would be over.

She hated Li Jingwan to death.

If she hadn't filed the lawsuit, if she had been smart enough to let herself be adopted earlier, how could all these things have happened?

After thinking it over, she decided to sneak back and take a look.

At least she had to find a way to go back to the Marquis' Mansion and get some silver and jewelry, and there was no guarantee that the Chu family would report her to the Dali Temple.

Having made up her mind, Qin Lingyun moved tables and chairs together, climbed over the wall to get out of the yard, and walked quickly out in the twilight.

Just as she reached the entrance of the village, she saw a carriage slowly leaving.

She recognized the carriage; it belonged to Chu Lin.

Why are they leaving now?

Just as this thought flashed through her mind, a strange middle-aged man suddenly appeared in front of her, followed by two tall men dressed as guards.

"Qin Lingyun." The man called out her name directly.

"You...who are you?" Qin Lingyun took two steps back in fear and glanced around vigilantly.

"The people from the Dali Temple are looking for you. If you don't want to be exiled or sold to a music school as a prisoner, then follow me."

Qin Lingyun's heart tightened, "Who are you? What do you want to do?"

"Of course I'm going to save you." The man smiled, "Get in the car, you'll know when we get there."

Seeing that she didn't move, he said arrogantly, "Do you think you can escape? Or do you need me to ask someone to 'invite' you into the car."

Qin Lingyun bit her lower lip, weighed it over, and obediently got on the carriage.

-

Chu Yin had just finished his morning court session when the eunuch chief Cheng Deying came up to greet him.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Prince Jing and Li Jingwan are waiting in the side hall of the Yangxin Palace."

Chu Yin walked forward with a smile, "Old Four is quite active in doing things for others."

Cheng Deying smiled and said, "Your Highness Prince Jing has always been cold on the outside but warm on the inside, chivalrous and courageous, just like you, Your Majesty."

Chu Yin glanced at him and said, "I see that you have grown old, but your tongue has become more and more eloquent."

As he said this, the smile on his face deepened, and he obviously agreed with Cheng Deying's statement.

To be able to become the chief eunuch in the palace, Cheng Deying must have already become a shrewd man and knew that what he said was correct.

After all, what father doesn’t like to hear good things said about his favorite son?

Now some officials in the imperial court have begun to support the Second Prince in his fight for the throne. Cheng Deying was very disdainful when he found out about this.

After being an official for so many years, he is not as clear-sighted as a eunuch.

If the emperor valued the second prince, he would have made him the crown prince to stabilize the government long ago, instead of waiting until all four princes reached adulthood before taking any action.

Now that the position of crown prince is vacant, Cheng Deying guessed that Chu Yin was waiting for the right opportunity to naturally promote Chu Tingyu to the position.
