Chapter 305 -305: Guess How Long You Will Be Sentenced?

Lin Yueqin’s vision darkened as she was kicked, feeling her ferocity. She knew this time Yueqin came fully prepared, and she dared not speak any further.

She began desperately begging for mercy, “Xiaoyi, it’s all my fault. I did overlook you a lot before, but I had no choice, I am a servant of the Wen Family, and it’s my duty to take care of the young lady and the madam.”

“I will make it up to you from now on. However much I dote on the young lady, I will dote on you in the future. No matter what wrongs I’ve done, your father and I did raise you up properly in the end. If not for the monk, consider the Buddha, and let’s stop this ruckus.”

“I beg you, please go! If you hold any resentment in your heart and want to torment someone, then just torment me,” she pleaded.

Ye Chuyi looked at her, tears streaming down her face, but her heart remained utterly unmoved.

“Weren’t you acting all tough just now? Why aren’t you tough anymore? Why start playing the good person, the pitiable one?” Chuyi taunted.

“Earlier, I was foolish and didn’t know any better. Please don’t hold it against me. I beg you, let Youyou go; she is innocent!” Yueqin implored.

“She is not innocent at all. She has known about her real identity for a long time. I’m not sure exactly when, but by the time Shi Youjin killed the first person, she definitely knew,” Ye Chuyi said coldly.

“She has been particularly against me since we were children. She must have known all along that I am the true daughter of the Wen Family!” Chuyi asserted.

Finally, Wen Xingye understood the root of her sudden madness that night, and he cried out in disbelief, “What are you saying? That’s impossible!”

Yueqin quickly interjected, “Chuyi, don’t spout nonsense. How could you possibly be the daughter of the Wen Family! I know you’ve always dreamed of being the Wen Family’s precious young lady, but you are not. You are my daughter, the daughter of a servant!”

Ye Chuyi looked at her anxious refutation, finding it utterly ludicrous. Even now, she refused to acknowledge the truth.

“Lin Yueqin, you and Shi Youjin just couldn’t resist, could you? With your biological daughter by your side, you did so much for her; you just couldn’t keep from telling her her identity,” Chuyi accused.

“On one hand, you wanted her to live as Miss Wen and enjoy a life of wealth, but on the other hand, you feared that with such wealthy parents, she might grow up and disown you, her worthless real parents. So you couldn’t wait to tell her from a young age that you were her biological mother.”

“You succeeded. Wen Nianyou is not close to Lady Wen; she is closer to you. She knows she is not the Wen Family’s daughter, so she never saw Lady Wen as her real mother, nor Wen Xingye as her real father. That’s why even when Wen Xingye had affairs with other women, she remained so indifferent.”

With each word Chuyi spoke, Lin Yueqin’s face grew paler, until there was no color left on her face at all.

In a panic, she turned to look at Wen Xingye, “That’s not true; she’s talking nonsense. Mr. Wen, don’t believe her. She’s completely lost her mind! She’s mad!”

Wen Xingye’s brow furrowed deeply, uncertain whom to believe.

The implication of Chuyi’s words was that she was his daughter, and Wen Nianyou was actually the daughter of a female servant?

How could that be possible!

How dare this servant?!

She had received so many benefits from the Wen Family; Ye Jinyu treated her as good as a sister, giving her high wages and bonuses every year. When she was Youyou’s wet nurse, Ye Jinyu even specially hired two people to take care of her for a whole year!

On a regular basis, Lin Yueqin didn’t need to work. For all these years, it was the Wen Family who supported her; she only had to manage the other female servants, while dirty and tiring work was done by others, and her job was simply to accompany the children.

Such a servant, ungrateful to the Wen Family, would dare to switch his and Ye Jinyu’s child?

“No, it can’t be, it’s impossible! I don’t believe it!” Xingye exclaimed.

Ye Chuyi didn’t care what Wen Xingye said; she didn’t think he had the brains to understand. She turned to Lin Yueqin, “Do you know what crime it is to steal someone’s child, and how long you could be sentenced for? The minimum is five years, the maximum is ten. What do you think, will it be five years or ten?”

Lin Yueqin looked at her in terror. The secret she had kept for so many years was finally revealed, and the outcome she had feared had arrived.

She shook her head frantically, “Chuyi, don’t be so cruel to me. I don’t want to go to prison! Whether it’s five years or ten, either is too much for me to bear, that place… it’s not for humans!”
