Lin Yanmei trembled violently the moment she heard that “Yanmei.”
Aside from Nanny Zhou, no one had called her by that name for many years.
“Aah—!”
She suddenly screamed.
Her hunched back straightened instantly, revealing the outline of a 28-year-old woman’s figure.
Panicking, she covered her face and bolted toward the exit.
She moved so fast that no one even had time to react.
“Father, is that really Auntie?”
Young Master Lin was holding the child, his jaw nearly dropping in shock.
Lin Zhengyan stared at the fleeing figure and nodded bitterly.
“It should be her… I never expected…”
【Oh-ho! Finally! Someone figured it out!】
【Host, why is Lin Yanmei running? It’s not like she committed some unforgivable crime!】
【That’s shame taking over! A secret kept for twenty years being exposed in public—who could handle that?】
“Father, you shouldn’t have asked Auntie in front of everyone just now…”
Young Master Lin looked at his father in blame.
“She’s already timid by nature. Now she’ll be even more afraid to face people.”
Lin Zhengyan rubbed his nose.
“It was my oversight. I acted impulsively.”
“Father, should we go after her?”
Young Master Lin asked worriedly.
“Forget it. Let her calm down.”
【System, where did Lin Yanmei run off to? She’s not going to do something foolish, is she?】
【Don’t worry, Host. She ran back to her courtyard! She’s currently hiding under her bed, wrapped in a blanket like a dumpling!】
【Pfft! That’s kind of cute!】
Everyone couldn’t help but smile knowingly.
A timid official suddenly had a thought.
Once things settled down, perhaps he could ask the Prime Minister to arrange a marriage.
Such a kind and pure woman would be his ideal wife.
In the corner, Prince Xiao Juechen stroked his chin thoughtfully.
The Lin family really was full of hidden surprises.
Even a nanny had such explosive gossip.
It seemed his disguised inspection this time had been worthwhile.
Chu Ruoshuang finished digesting this shocking piece of gossip.
Then she remembered her elder sister was still suffering in a brothel and could no longer sit still.
She led her guards straight toward the western part of the city—Chenxian Tower.
After overeating by accident, Feng Zhaoyan opened the livestream to help digest.
A clear “scroll-like painting” appeared above her head once again.
In the image, Chu Ruoshuang stormed into Chenxian Tower and found the madam.
“I want to redeem Chu Ruoxue!”
She got straight to the point.
The madam smiled and waved her hand leisurely.
“Oh my, honored guest, Miss Xue is currently entertaining an important client. Why don’t you wait a bit?”
Chu Ruoshuang frowned tightly.
Wasn’t her sister supposed to be insane?
Why was she still entertaining guests?
Everyone else was also confused.
Who on earth was so depraved as to even touch a madwoman?
Chu Ruoshuang didn’t care.
She had a fiery temper to begin with, and all these years of pretending to be gentle like her sister had long suffocated her.
“Move!”
She shoved the blocking attendant aside.
With a group of guards, she stormed upstairs.
Several thugs who tried to stop her were easily taken down in a few moves.
Young Master Lin silently nodded in approval as he watched his wife’s heroic demeanor.
So his wife was this strong!
That gentle and soft appearance she usually showed… was it all an act?
Hmm… good!
In the image, every room Chu Ruoshuang kicked open was filled with blurred “mosaic” censorship.
Everyone was speechless.
Was there anything they weren’t allowed to see?
After kicking open the last room, the mosaic strangely disappeared.
Inside, a young man who looked very similar to Young Master Lin was holding Chu Ruoxue, whose clothes were disheveled.
He was muttering nonsense.
“Sister-in-law… you’re so soft… sister-in-law is so obedient today…”
【Hahaha, “Sister-in-law, open the door, it’s your brother-in-law!”】
【Host, your thoughts are very unhealthy!】
Everyone’s expressions instantly changed.
That… wasn’t the Second Young Master Lin?!
He always looked so refined and scholarly—who knew he would do something like this!
Heavens!
And he just called her “sister-in-law,” right?!
Skipping his nephew’s birthday banquet just to come to a brothel for “sister-in-law”?!
Young Master Lin’s face darkened completely.
His fists clenched so tightly they cracked.
How could his younger brother do this?!
Chu Ruoshuang was also stunned at the scene.
Then she felt disgusted.
Without hesitation, she lifted her foot and kicked him flying.
Bang!
Second Young Master Lin slammed into the wall with a dull thud.
Ignoring him, Chu Ruoshuang hurried to check on her sister.
To her surprise, Chu Ruoxue’s eyes were clear and sharp.
There was no trace of madness at all.
“Sister, are you alright?”
Chu Ruoshuang asked worriedly.
【Host, Chu Ruoxue is no longer insane.】
【Oh-ho! Interesting!】
【What’s even more explosive, Host, is that Chu Ruoxue has always believed the man supporting her was the First Young Master Lin!】
“What?!”
【She thought he had regretted leaving her, so she secretly came looking for him!】
【So she has been fantasizing about returning to normal life and even remarrying into the Lin household!】
Young Master Lin’s face turned green upon hearing this.
How narcissistic could this woman be?!
She actually thought he came looking for her?!
Ridiculous delusion!
In the image, Chu Ruoshuang pulled her sister up.
“Let’s go home.”
“Home?”
Chu Ruoxue’s eyes lit up with hope.
“Did my brother-in-law agree?”
“What brother-in-law?!”
Chu Ruoshuang was confused.
Chu Ruoxue pointed at the man groaning on the floor.
“Isn’t he your husband?”
“Uh… let me formally introduce him. This is my younger brother-in-law!”
The smile on Chu Ruoxue’s face slowly disappeared.
Replaced by disbelief.
Second Young Master Lin finally struggled to get up.
When he saw Chu Ruoshuang, he panicked instantly.
“Sister-in-law! Why are you here?”
His voice cracked.
His eyes darted around, clearly thinking of an excuse.
“That’s what I should be asking you!”
Chu Ruoshuang sneered.
“What are you doing here? And you still dare to ask me?”
“I… I just…”
Second Young Master Lin stammered.
Not a single complete sentence came out.
【System, when did Second Young Master Lin start keeping Chu Ruoxue?】
Feng Zhaoyan’s gossip instincts flared up.
【Three months ago! He went to the brothel for fun, saw she looked like his sister-in-law, and got twisted ideas!】
【This guy is mentally sick! He actually has thoughts about his sister-in-law!】
Everyone’s faces showed disgust.
This kind of character was utterly disgraceful.
Prime Minister Lin sat in his chair.
His hands tightly gripped the armrests.
He never imagined his second son would commit such a humiliating act.
In the image, Chu Ruoshuang shouted angrily:
“You beast! Do you know who she is?!”
“I… I didn’t know!”
Second Young Master Lin trembled.
“Sister-in-law, do you know her?”
“She is my real sister!”
Chu Ruoshuang roared:
“So tell me—what are you going to do about this?!”
Second Young Master Lin was speechless.
What could he even say?
That he only did it for excitement?
【Even more disgusting—he made Chu Ruoxue call him ‘Master’ every time, saying it made things more thrilling!】
【What the hell?! What kind of twisted fetish is that?!】
Feng Zhaoyan was thoroughly disgusted.
Young Master Lin’s fists clenched even tighter.
This brother of his was utterly inhumane!
Chu Ruoxue finally processed everything.
Her entire world collapsed.
“You… you’re not my brother-in-law? You’re not Young Master Lin?”
Her voice trembled, filled with despair.
“Of course not!”
Chu Ruoshuang said coldly:
“My husband is at home living properly. He has never been to a place like this. What fantasy are you living in?”
“No… impossible… impossible!”
Chu Ruoxue screamed like a madwoman:
“He clearly said he was Young Master Lin!”
Chu Ruoshuang was furious:
“He is Second Young Master Lin! My younger brother-in-law! How could you be so foolish?!”
Second Young Master Lin, realizing he was exposed, tried to act shameless:
“Anyway, she’s not some virtuous woman. What’s wrong with me playing around with her?”
Smack!
Chu Ruoshuang slapped him across the face.
The force sent him stumbling, his face instantly swelling up.
