The Prime Minister Seduced Me to have Babies!-Chapter 512: Go Ask for the Answer Yourself

The rhythmic sound of the grinding wheel slowed down for a moment, then continued rolling.

It was a while before Lin Shuo replied, "I, I’d better not go."

Yun Jiao raised her head to look at Lin Shuo’s back and said softly, "Brother Lin, how long are you going to keep running away?"

The sound of the grinding wheel completely slowed down, and Lin Shuo gave a bitter smile, "It’s not escaping, I really can’t go back."

His voice suddenly lowered, "I made a mistake, I killed someone."

Yun Jiao managed to discern his words from the muffled sound of the grinding wheel.

She was a bit surprised, "Is the government hunting you?"

Lin Shuo shook his head, "Not at all, they—they didn’t report it."

Since it wasn’t reported, with the status of the Wu’an Hou Mansion, the government naturally wouldn’t meddle out of boredom.

Yun Jiao couldn’t understand, "Then why not go back?"

"I seem to remember Ah Hu mentioning last time that you’re the only son in your family. If you don’t go back, what will your parents do?"

"They must be hoping for your return, right?"

Lin Shuo seemed to have lost his footing for a moment and suddenly slid down from the grinding wheel.

He didn’t move, just stood there with his back to Yun Jiao, "They probably don’t want me to return."

Yun Jiao’s mind strained to connect the dots of Lin Shuo’s revelations. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Killed someone, parents don’t want him back.

Who did he kill?

Is it because of this that his parents can’t forgive him?

She said softly, "I think, you are their only son, your parents must have doted on you dearly since childhood. Even if you made a mistake, they will surely forgive you eventually."

Lin Shuo, still with his back to Yun Jiao, "Yes, once they did doted on me greatly."

"But now, my father surely hates me."

"As for my mother, she hates me too, she has always hated me—"

"I don’t know if they will ever forgive me." He shook his head, "Moreover, I don’t know how to face them."

Yun Jiao couldn’t decipher anything from these words.

She could only feel there was a complex mixture of love and hatred between Lin Shuo and his parents.

She thought for a moment and said, "You can’t just never see them again, right?"

"Ask yourself, if you can’t achieve that, you should go see them, don’t leave yourself with regrets."

"I think, regardless of whether they hate you or not, you can go find them and ask for an answer yourself."

Lin Shuo didn’t speak for a while.

Those two words ’answer’ pierced his heart.

After a long time, he replied in a low voice, "Okay, I’ll go ask them for an answer in person."

Behind him, Yun Jiao suddenly raised her hand, making a cheering gesture, "Brother Lin, everything will be alright, keep it up!"

Lin Shuo turned around and saw Yun Jiao’s warm smile, and slowly, a smile broke out on his face as well, "Alright, I’ll keep it up."

"If······"

"If they truly don’t want me anymore, I can still work as your guard, how about that?"

Yun Jiao nodded vigorously, with a bright smile, "With your skills, and only charging two taels of silver a month, I’d be very willing."

Lin Shuo gazed at her tenderly, saying softly, "Thank you."

Thank you for giving me encouragement and courage.

Suddenly Yun Jiao smacked her forehead, "Oh, I just remembered, Ah Hu loves braised dishes. I need to go write a marinade recipe for him."

"Otherwise, I’d forget it again later."

She quickly stepped out, leaving Lin Shuo in the space alone.

After a while, the droning yet rhythmic sound of the grinding wheel moving across the groove in the west wing echoed again.
