The Village Girl Who Jinxes Her Husband Is Filthy Rich Chapter 2063: The Queen's Growth
Previously on The Village Girl Who Jinxes Her Husband Is Filthy Rich...
Following the moment Lin Xinyue spirited away the pair of infants, an overwhelming sense of dread and agitation washed over her.
Driven by an inexplicable impulse, she found herself at the temporary residence of Jin Ah Bao.
As the overseer of the zoo, Jin Ah Bao did not reside within the borders of Taoyuan Village. Instead, he lived at the base of Da Ao Mountain, directly adjacent to the zoo grounds.
She knocked firmly upon his door. When Jin Ah Bao swung it open, he appeared thoroughly baffled by the oversized basket gripped in Lin Xinyue’s hands.
He gestured with a playful smirk, “Xinyue, whatever are you carrying? Is that some sort of delicacy?”
While speaking, he lifted the fabric covering. Upon catching a glimpse of the two babies nested inside, his expression shifted to pure confusion, “Infants? Just whose children are these?”
Lin Xinyue replied with a solemn, heavy tone, “They belong to Master.”
Upon hearing that the two babes were indeed under the care of their Master, Jin Ah Bao was struck by shock.
Before he could even inquire about the motive, Lin Xinyue collapsed against him, sobbing, “Brother Ah Bao, what must we do? What can I possibly do? I beg you, help me!”
Once her weeping subsided, Jin Ah Bao pressed her for an explanation.
Upon discovering the reason behind Lin Xinyue’s abduction of the children, his features twisted in fury. He barked, “Xinyue, how could you be foolish enough to commit such an act?”
Lin Xinyue remained paralyzed in silence.
“Are you truly prepared to harm two innocent lives just to appease your parents? Do you realize what you’ve done? This is repaying kindness with pure treachery!” Jin Ah Bao was overcome with rage and anxiety, his heart hammering in terror.
Those who served under their master understood her temperament perfectly.
She would never tolerate disloyalty. Once a betrayal manifested, the resulting fate was always utterly catastrophic.
In the eyes of their master, Lin Xinyue’s kidnapping of the two children was essentially an act of high treason.
“Ah Xin, we must hasten to apologize to Master! You have your private struggles,” Jin Ah Bao urged with frantic intensity. “You must beg for Master’s mercy, or else…”
Jin Ah Bao left the warning hanging in the air, but Lin Xinyue grasped the implication entirely.
The alternative was a fate too terrifying to contemplate!
Having joined Lin Yuelan’s side long before Jin Ah Bao himself, Lin Xinyue possessed an even deeper awareness of her master’s character.
Lin Yuelan never extended leniency to those who betrayed her, regardless of how profound their history once was.
After a moment of reflection, Jin Ah Bao suggested, “Xinyue, if you confess your burdens to Master, she may yet have the wisdom to devise a solution.”
A flicker of hope ignited in Lin Xinyue’s eyes.
He was right; Master was omnipotent. She would surely find a way to save her parents.
Prompted by the persistent wailing of the infants, the pair returned immediately to Lin Garden.
The moment they crossed into Taoyuan Village, they were met by the scathing glares of everyone present. Lin Xinyue could only hang her head in acute shame, muttering, “I am sorry,” repeatedly.
As she stepped into Lin Garden and surveyed the protective formations already in place, Lin Xinyue realized that her master had been fully aware of the situation all along—she had merely permitted the drama to unfold.
The realization struck her that even if she had tried to spirit the children away, she never truly stood a chance of escaping.
A sudden wave of shock, terror, and relief collided within her.
How fortunate she was to have reached this awakening in time. Had she proceeded further, the aftermath would have been irreparable.
“I am deeply sorry, Master. I was wrong.” Seeing Lin Yuelan, Lin Xinyue knelt instantly, pleading for forgiveness.
Lin Yuelan slammed the bowl in her hand onto the table with a harsh thud and sneered, “Master? Who is this ‘Master’ you speak of? You are the princess of the Aduo Chai Kingdom, Henala Anu. How could a royal such as you be a mere subordinate of mine?”
Lin Xinyue’s heart constricted in her chest, and her complexion drained of all color, “No, Master will always remain my Master. I will forever be Lin Xinyue!”
Master was truly incensed.
She had anticipated this wrath, yet standing directly before it, her spirit trembled uncontrollably.
Her master had decided to use their past kindness and contributions to balance the scales of her betrayal, effectively declaring their accounts settled.
Regardless of whether Lin Xinyue found this acceptable, no power on earth could alter Lin Yuelan’s final verdict.
This declaration implicitly severed the bond between them, reducing Lin Xinyue and Lin Yuelan to mere strangers.
In that cold realization, Lin Xinyue finally perceived that her biological kin had become truly contemptible in their pursuit of gain. They were merely exploiting her.
They had coerced her into stealing her master’s children. They had shown utter indifference to whether the infants were harmed or how she felt in the process. Once returned to the Aduo Chai Kingdom, she likely would have lacked the influence to shield the children from their machinations anyway.
Ultimately, Lin Yuelan cast Lin Xinyue out.
Lin Yuelan could no longer bring herself to face the one who had neared the threshold of betrayal; the trust, once shattered, could not be restored.
