When the little prince sternly asked her if she knew who An Ying was, Lin Xiao was shocked to discover that even though she was pregnant with An Ying's child, she knew nothing about him.
When the little prince saw the confused look on Lin Xiao's face, he knew that he wouldn't be able to get anything out of her.
But the little prince was speechless at Lin Xiao's confusion.
She was pregnant with someone else's child, but she didn't even know who the other party was or what he did for a living. He didn't know what she was thinking either. She didn't even know who the other party was, yet she dared to be with him. He really didn't know if he should say that she was young and ignorant, or that she was fearless because she didn't know.
The little prince looked at Lin Xiao's confused face and said, "He is the assassin who tried to assassinate His Majesty. We're trying our best to catch him right now. If you can help us catch him, we promise you that you'll live in splendor and wealth for the rest of your life."
Even though she knew that An Ying's identity wasn't ordinary, when she heard the little prince say that An Ying was the one who tried to assassinate His Majesty, Lin Xiao's heart still started to race uncontrollably.
The Emperor was a god-like figure. An Ying actually dared to assassinate His Majesty.
This was a capital offense.
When she thought of this, Lin Xiao's vision turned black and her heart sank into despair.
Because the truth was too shocking, Lin Xiao couldn't say a complete sentence.
When Lin Guangye heard the little prince say that An Ying was the one who tried to assassinate His Majesty, his legs turned to jelly and he fell on his butt.
Oh my god, An Ying actually tried to assassinate His Majesty?
Lin Guangye stared at the little prince in shock. His intestines were about to turn green from regret.
Lin Guangye felt that Lin Xiao was a jinx.
Of all the people she could be with, she just had to be with the one who tried to assassinate His Majesty. Wasn't this a crime that would implicate nine generations of his family?
Lin Guangye was greedy for pleasure and cherished his life. At this moment, he hated Lin Xiao to death.
When Lin Xiao was born, she had caused the death of his wife. When she grew up, she still wanted to kill him. Not only was she a money-losing good, she was also a jinx.
Afraid of death, Lin Guangye immediately poked his head out of the fence and shouted at the little prince and Jiujiu, "Your Excellency, Your Excellency, I don't know anything. Can you let me go?"
Jiujiu glanced at Lin Guangye before turning to look at Lin Xiao. "Even if you're pregnant with An Ying's child, are you really going to sacrifice your entire family's lives for An Ying's?"
Jiujiu's meaning was clear. If Lin Xiao continued to protect An Ying, they would kill her entire family.
On one side was the man she loved the most, and on the other side was her family. Lin Xiao was caught in a dilemma between saving her family and saving her man.
No matter which side it was, Lin Xiao was most reluctant to part with them. No matter which side she saved, she would fall into the pain of losing the other.
At this moment, Lin Xiao would rather be the one to die than make such a choice.
Lin Xiao looked like she was struggling. Lin Guangye shouted at Lin Xiao as if he had seen the dawn. "Xiaoxiao, why aren't you telling them everything you know? Do you really want to get our family killed?"
Lin Xiao, "…"
She didn't want to get her family killed, but she didn't want to give up An Ying either.
Lin Guangye saw Lin Xiao's struggle and he was instantly enraged.
Lin Guangye glared at Lin Xiao fiercely and scolded her through gritted teeth, "Lin Xiao, you're actually willing to give up your entire family for that unknown man. Good, good, good ~ I, Lin Guangye, have raised a good daughter ~"
Lin Guangye's words were like small knives stabbing into Lin Xiao's heart. It hurt so much that Lin Xiao couldn't speak.
Tears flowed down Lin Xiao's face.
Lin Xiao shook her head as she cried. "No, I'm not."
It wasn't that she wanted to give up her family. She really didn't know how to choose.
No matter which one it was, she couldn't give up. She didn't want to make this choice at all.
Lin Guangye couldn't understand Lin Xiao's struggle.
In his opinion, Lin Xiao's failure to choose him quickly was the greatest insult to him.
Lin Guangye glared fiercely at Lin Xiao, then looked at Jiujiu and the little prince with a fawning expression. He asked with a fawning expression, "My Lord, if I sever all ties with Lin Xiao now, can you let me out?"
When Lin Guangye said that he wanted to cut off all ties with Lin Xiao, Lin Xiao looked up in shock. Because she was so shocked, the tears in Lin Xiao's eyes froze.
Lin Xiao looked at Lin Guangye in a daze, as if she hadn't expected Lin Guangye to say that he wanted to cut off all ties with her.
Lin Guangye turned a blind eye to Lin Xiao's stare. He looked at Jiujiu and Little Prince eagerly, wanting to get a specific answer from them.
Even though Lin Guangye had already shown Jiujiu and the little prince how shameless he could be, Jiujiu and the little prince were still flabbergasted by his actions.
Jiujiu had seen shameless people in the past, but the little prince's bottom line had been completely refreshed.
The little prince looked at Lin Guangye with disdain.
He would rather let Lin Xiao go than let Lin Guangye go.
Although Lin Xiao's refusal to cooperate had caused trouble for them, at least Lin Xiao had a backbone. However, a shameless person like Lin Guangye who wanted to live should be drowned in a pig's cage.
The little prince glanced coldly at Lin Guangye, then left without looking back.
After the little prince left, Jiujiu naturally left as well.
After Lin Guangye saw that Jiujiu and the little prince had left, he slowly averted his gaze.
Lin Guangye glanced sideways at the blankets that Jiujiu had someone deliver to Lin Xiao, then at the haystack in his cell. Without thinking, he said, "Xiaoxiao, give me one of your blankets."
He didn't want to lie on a dry haystack. Who knew what was inside?
Lin Guangye's denial of their relationship had shocked Lin Xiao to a great extent. When she heard Lin Guangye calling her name, Lin Xiao raised her head in a daze. Her eyes rolled slowly in her eye sockets like wooden carvings. Only then did Lin Xiao ask in a hoarse voice, "Father, what am I in your heart?"
She had known since she was very young that Lin Guangye didn't like her. Every time he saw her, there wasn't much of a smile on Lin Guangye's face. It was more like he was ignoring her.
In order to gain Lin Guangye's affection, she had learned how to cook from Chef Lin.
Later on, after Chef Lin had praised her culinary skills, Lin Guangye had started to pay attention to her. As her culinary skills had improved, the smile on Lin Guangye's face had deepened.
She had thought that Lin Guangye actually liked her, but he wasn't good at expressing himself. Learning how to cook had given Lin Guangye an opportunity to express his feelings for her.
