The Challenge of a Farmhouse Son-in-Law-Chapter 974 - 968: Making Things Difficult

"Aunt,"

"Mother!"

Gu Youyou and Lin Qianqing rose to their feet and paid their respects to her.

Madam Lin nodded lightly and then signaled for them to sit down.

"You’re both here; I’ll speak plainly then."

Madam Lin looked solemn and serious.

Gu Youyou couldn’t help but exchange a look with Lin Qianqing before becoming serious herself.

"Qianqing, do you know why you were chosen to become King Jin’s wife?"

Lin Qianqing looked at Madam Lin and said, "Isn’t this what you’ve always hoped for? Mother, just speak your mind."

Madam Lin’s eyes were filled with sadness and reddened as she spoke excitedly, "No, Daya, you’ve been targeted by them for a long time. Since they wanted to bring your father into their fold, your marriage was set. Even if it was not as the principal wife, you’d still be a consort. But a consort is not as good as a principal wife, so mother did everything I could to ensure you’d be the principal wife. All things considered, it’s still your parents’ fault, as we had no choice."

Lin Qianqing silently lowered her head and said, "I understand, mother; I’ve come to terms with it, and you don’t need to blame yourself."

"It’s good that you understand," Madam Lin said. "Women like us are envied by others, but only we ourselves know the difficulties we face. Initially, I looked down on your father, considering him just a country bumpkin with a vulgar mother. I cried, I made a scene, I fasted at home, I did everything, but eventually, I obediently married him. Ah! Fortunately, I married him. Thankfully, your father is a kind man. If it had been someone else, my life might have been even harder. Daya, do you understand what I’m telling you?"

"I understand," Lin Qianqing said. "Mother means to say that to lead a good life, satisfaction isn’t important, what matters is how one lives."

"Right, that’s what I mean," Madam Lin nodded lightly and said. "But if it were just any ordinary family, it would be fine, but it’s the Ducal Residence with King Jin. The Empress has been ambitious since her youth, and she has been so her entire life. She won’t rest until she has fought for the throne for King Jin, and she will inevitably pull in your father. Before, our family had no concerns; if we had to choose a faction, it didn’t matter who. But now that your cousin is to marry the Prince, the Empress doesn’t trust us like before. Even though we’re still on King Jin’s side, given her cunning, she won’t treat us the same as before. I’m worried she’ll implicate you and make your life difficult."

After saying this, she turned her gaze toward Gu Youyou. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com

Gu Youyou forced a smile and said, "Aunt, aren’t you afraid I might say something to the Prince after hearing all this?"

Gu Youyou felt that such matters should have been discussed privately with Lin Qianqing.

Madam Lin looked at Gu Youyou in silence and after a moment sighed, "All the things you’ve been hiding from me, are just hidden from me. I know all about them. Without your uncle’s tacit consent, the Prince wouldn’t dare to climb over our walls. I don’t want to know about the affairs between you two, especially now that they’re in such disarray.

"Lin Xingyi has been keeping secrets, which ultimately shows he doesn’t trust me. In my heart, I’m oriented towards Qianqing and the Ducal Residence, but I’m also a woman of the Lin Family, and I understand the principles I should follow. I don’t avoid you because I trust you, and I believe that no matter what, you won’t harm the Lin Family."

As a woman of the Lin Family, no matter what she did, she wouldn’t harm the Lin Family either.

Gu Youyou remained silent, looking toward Lin Qianqing.

Lin Qianqing forced a smile with difficulty and said, "Mother, cousin, don’t you know me? Regardless, I don’t care. It’s useless for them to make things difficult for me."
