"Insolence! I spared your life, and yet you dare to ask for more!"
Lin Huan shouted in anger.
Lin Gang's face twisted into a sinister smile, like a malevolent spirit crawling out of Hell, "Is such a small request considered asking for more? It shouldn't be. Lin Xintang is Qing Li and Snake Lord's daughter; isn't she worth a dead demon fetus?"
"Fine, fine! I'll give you both Su Qiang and the demon fetus." Lin Huan's forehead wrinkled so deeply, he could have trapped flies in them.
He waved his hand, signaling two disciples to bring the people over as Lin Gang had demanded.
I felt a bit dizzy, murmuring unconsciously, "What the hell? Yu Longting's... daughter...?"
"Lin Huan, you haven't told Su Wan about the relationship between Qing Li and Yu Longting? Afraid it would break your precious granddaughter's heart?"
Lin Gang burst into wild laughter, tears streaming down his grimy face, murky with filth, "You old fool, you're really biased, aren't you? On the surface, you favor males over females, saying you'll hand over the Lin Family to me, but actually... Ever since Big Sister left home, you've been thinking about how to bring her back every day, haven't you!"
Lin Huan remained calm, silent as if admitting it was true.
"What nonsense are you spouting. Qing Li is only thirty years old! Yu Longting has been trapped in the cheongsam for over twenty years. Tell me, how did Yu Longting get Qing Li pregnant?" To everyone's surprise, the only one standing up for Yu Longting was Zhang Shuying. Zhang Shuying leaped up with an agile motion and kicked Lin Gang's backside without hesitation, "Keep spouting nonsense and stirring up trouble all you want. Even if you have the Emperor's daughter in your hand, I will still beat you to death."
Lin Gang stumbled and fell face-first to the ground. Getting back up, he didn't dare to retort and half-squinted his eyes, "Ignorant. Don't you know that Qing Li has always lived in the Lin Family Loft, and that every generation of Qing Li is reincarnated?"
"That doesn't prove Xintang is Yu Longting's daughter," Zhang Shuying said.
Lin Gang: "I personally hatched Lin Xintang from the snake eggs. Anyone who has seen Lin Xintang can tell she bears an uncanny resemblance to Snake Lord, right? Isn't that so, Su Wan's little niece...?"
Me: "..."
Everything was too sudden, shockingly rich in information.
Yu Longting did bear some resemblance to Xintang, but not too much.
What was most astonishing was that the loft was actually where Qing Li had always resided, and that Qing Li, after reincarnating, would still be found by the Lin Family and continued to be raised in the loft...
By this calculation, Xintang might not be this life's Qing Li's daughter.
Xintang could very well be from the eggs laid by a previous life's Qing Li, which Lin Gang then managed to hatch…
It was all too chaotic!
I felt my brain's capacity was severely inadequate, unable to digest such a vast amount of information in a short time!!
"Spiritual Eye Sister, I can't help your husband anymore. Lin Gang's evidence is too convincing! When is your husband coming? Or is he too guilty to show up?"
Zhang Shuying backed down and babbled in my ear.
I replied honestly to Zhang Shuying, "I don't know."
At that moment, Su Qiang came slowly, wearing shackles.
She held a dead infant in her arms, and she, blind in both eyes, trembled uneasily.
Barefoot and disheveled, she looked utterly desolate and forlorn, "Where am I? What are you going to do to me now?"
"Give me the child." Lin Gang approached and forcefully snatched the dead infant from Su Qiang's arms.
Su Qiang immediately panicked, "Who are you? Why are you taking my child?"
"Your child? You're nothing but a vessel for the Xuanjing bloodline. Come with me, I'll take you to meet Xuanjing," Lin Gang declared brazenly in front of the Lin Family, leaving unobstructed, "Once we leave safely, Lin Xintang will naturally return to the Lin Family. The little girl is of no use to me in my hands anyway. I want to keep her around to irritate Su Wan~"
"Lin Gang, what are you thinking? Slandering me for having a child with another woman, trying to drive a wedge between my wife and me, and you just want to walk away like that?"
From not far away, a man in a green Hanfu with a Jade Pendant hanging from his waist came striding over.
His Cloud Brocade clothing, lavish and princely by itself, coupled with his innate Emperor's aura, made him appear as if an all-powerful monarch had arrived.
For a moment, his presence was so overpowering it was nearly suffocating.
