Lin Wuchen got the answer he wanted, and a huge weight of relief fell from his heart.

As for why Bai Youxin did this, he actually didn't care. No matter what the reason was, Bai Youxin and the Bai family had to bear his anger.

Thinking of how Ah Ci treated him coldly because of this matter and now was bedridden due to depression, he wanted to kill Bai Youxin directly.

But the question that should be asked is, “What happened back then?”

Ju'er stammered as she told the truth, "After our young lady boarded the ship that day, she accidentally discovered that the young master of the Zhao family had brought a young lady of the Zhao family on board. The young master said that if this was done, the crisis of the Zhao family would be resolved."

"Our young lady set up a trap to lure Young Master Zhao away, and then fed you the antidote. In fact, the blood on the bed came from my cut finger. I only told you about it after I saw you wake up."

Things were pretty much as Lin Wuchen thought. He stopped asking questions and turned to Lin Jin, "Bring some people with you and go to the Bai family."

It was already getting dark outside, but Lin Wuchen didn't care. Even if it was the middle of the night, he had to go to the Bai family to collect the debt.

Bai Youxin didn't know yet that Juer had already told her everything. The Bai family had just set up dinner and she was asking the people below where Juer had gone.

This afternoon, Juer was not feeling well, so she allowed her to rest in her room. But just when she sent someone to check, she was gone.

Bai Youxin had just ordered her subordinates to look for Ju'er when a servant came in to report, "Miss, the third young master of the Lin family is here."

"Please come in." Bai Youxin smiled and went out to greet him.

When Lin Wuchen came in, there was no expression on his face, and it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry.

But Bai Youxin has been doing business for so many years, how could she not notice that something was wrong with Lin Wuchen.

She asked tentatively, "Why are you here at this time? The meal has just been served. Do you want to eat here?"

While asking the question, she was wondering why Lin Wuchen came today.

After thinking about it, she felt that it might be related to Xue Yuan. She only found out yesterday that Xue Yuan asked Lin Wuchen to go to Prince Ning's mansion to propose marriage.

It is also possible that Xue Yuan said something accidentally.

While Bai Youxin was thinking, Lin Wuchen had already stopped in front of her, staring at her with a cold look.

"I came here today to tell you. The marriage is off. From now on, my Lin family and the Bai family of Lin'an Prefecture will not coexist."

Bai Youxin was shocked when she heard this, and looked up at Lin Wuchen, "You came here to question me because of what Xue Yuan said, right?"

Lin Wuchen raised his lips and sneered, "Could it be that Xue Yuan is wrong?"

"Bai Shaodong is really good at planning every step. You even secretly arranged my cousin's marriage."

"Who do you think you are to plan Ah Ci's wedding?"

Bai Youxin was immediately furious when she heard this. Lin Wuchen was belittling her and praising Su Shunci. Why?

But Bai Youxin was extremely calm at this moment. Now was not the time to act on impulse.

The real thing is to let Lin Wuchen put aside his grudges and get married with peace of mind.

Bai Youxin suppressed the anger in her heart and looked at Lin Wuchen in disbelief.

"What are you talking about? I did go to find Xue Yuan, but I also had good intentions."

"I said that because I think Young Master Xue has good character. And I did this for the good of the Lin family. You must understand the connection here. What did I do wrong?"

Speaking of this, Bai Youxin's voice suddenly choked up.

"It's unfair for you to say that. If you don't want to marry me, you can just not discuss marriage with me."

"Even if I lose my innocence to save you, I will not force myself to marry into your Lin family unless you are willing."

"But what do you mean by this? You are so cold and rude to me just for a cousin who is not related to me by blood."

If Lin Wuchen didn't know the truth, he might even feel guilty about Bai Youxin's words.

But when Lin Wuchen heard Bai Youxin say this, he just found it ridiculous.

Bai Youxin really treated him as a fool. She really thought he was easy to fool, right?

Lin Wuchen laughed sarcastically, "Since Bai Shaodong said that you will not marry into my Lin family unless I want to. Well, I'm telling you now that I don't want to."

He said word by word that he didn't want to.

These four words completely panicked Bai You. Based on her understanding of Lin Wuchen, he shouldn't have said that.

Bai Youxin thought of Su Shunci and blurted out, "You treated me like this because of the fourth young lady of the Su family."

"Okay, okay, you two lovers will finally get married. When the time comes, I will let everyone in the world see how you, Third Young Master Lin, abandoned her after having an affair, and how the Fourth Miss Su ruined someone's marriage."

She said this out of anger and as a threat.

She just didn't believe that Lin Wuchen didn't care about his reputation. Even if he didn't care about his own reputation, could he not care about Su Shunci's reputation?

If he dared to break off the engagement, she would fight to the death.

Lin Wuchen looked at Bai Youxin as if he was watching a play, laughed, and said in a loud voice: "Lin Jin, bring the person up."

A moment later, Lin Jin came in with Ju'er. Ju'er knelt on the ground, and Lin Jin retreated to the door.

The moment Bai Youxin saw Juer, she understood everything.

Lin Wuchen came to her not because of Su Shunci's marriage, but because of the incident in Yunzhou Prefecture.

But she couldn't lose her composure, in case Lin Wuchen was trying to trick her.

Bai Youxin calmed down and asked, "What does this mean, Third Young Master Lin? Did my maid offend you?"

Seeing that she was still pretending, Lin Wuchen immediately lost his patience.

"Okay, Bai Shaodong, you don't have to pretend anymore. She has confessed everything. I already know everything that happened back then."

"I came here today to tell Bai Shaodong to be prepared for the Lin family's revenge. Since you did those things, you must be prepared to bear the consequences."

Lin Wuchen's tone was calm, but there was a gleam in his eyes, and he was obviously very angry.

Bai Youxin's body shook slightly. If she was targeted by Lin Wuchen, she would probably never have a peaceful life in her life.

The Lin family and the Bai family are both merchants, but the Lin family has the support of the Ning Wang Mansion and the Shen family. This alone makes it impossible for the Bai family to compete.

The Bai family was able to achieve what they have today, so they naturally had a backer. But Bai Youxin knew that even if the Bai family's backers came to Prince Ning's mansion, they would have to kowtow.

Bai Youxin knew that there was no room for maneuver in this matter. She had to follow whatever Lin Wuchen did.

As for whether you can catch it, it all depends on your ability.

She suddenly straightened her back and laughed at herself, "Since Third Young Master Lin already knows, I won't say more. Just use whatever tricks your Lin family has."

Lin Wuchen suddenly remembered something and said, "I'm just curious. You planned to kill me then, so why did you only come to discuss marriage today?"

Bai Youxin didn't hide it when he asked. She said, "You only know that my father is not in good health, but you don't know that my brother also had a serious illness last year."

"If he went, I would have to find a son-in-law at home. So when you wrote to me, I really couldn't reply."

"The victor is the king and the loser is the bandit. Whatever Third Young Master Lin wants to do, my Bai family will take over." Bai Youxin said to the end, still with the arrogance of the young master of the Bai family.

Lin Wuchen snorted coldly, "I'm just worried that you won't be able to catch it."

After saying that, he turned around and left the Bai family without looking back.

After returning to Lin's Trading Company, Lin Wuchen called several managers under him.

He ordered: "Pass the order down, all the silk and cotton that the Bai family wants to buy this year must be intercepted and purchased. If you don't have enough money, go to the old house to ask for it. I will go and say hello to my father."

Lin Jin knew that the Third Young Master wanted to take revenge on the Bai family, but the Lin family was not involved in the textile business. It was not easy to buy so much silk and cotton and then resell it.

He pondered for a moment and said, "Third Young Master, we have plenty of ways to attack the Bai family. There's no need to mess with our own money."
