Chapter 234 - 234 Deception
234 Deception
“Why?”
Yue Jiaojiao’s face was filled with astonishment, and even her voice subconsciously raised a little, “Why is my age card in the Lin family?”
Ever since she had recovered from her memory loss, Yue Jiaojiao’s mind had been filled with thoughts on whether the Yue and Lin families were in cahoots or if they had their own plans. The matter of marriage had never once appeared in her mind.
Now that she thought about it carefully, she was still puzzled. “I remember that I said before that my marriage must be approved by me personally. I don’t seem to recall, could you refresh my memory?”
Madam Qin waved her hands repeatedly, her face full of fear.
“My lady, your words are too much.
“I originally thought that you knew about this, miss. That was why you immediately wrote a letter to Bei City to ask for help after you were rescued.
“As for why the age invitation appeared in the Lin family, it was sent out by Master Yue before we set off.
“Before Master Yue left, he told me that this matter must not be made public at all costs, in case someone with ill intentions hears about it and would want to affect your reputation and the Yue family’s reputation. After all, the marriage between you and the Lin family was only a private agreement between the two families. As for the details, you will have to wait until you arrive in Bei City to be personally decided.
“Although I’m not happy with the outcome, this matter concerns your reputation. I definitely kept your matter a secret.”
Yue Jiaojiao’s heart was filled with anger.
Now it seemed that she had kept this matter to herself. After her anger subsided, she couldn’t help but analyze the situation.
“I think that Beicheng and the Yue family have no plans to get married. Or rather, the Yue family wants me to be trapped in the Lin family, but the other party clearly has other plans.
“If I had to tie the Yue family and the Lin family together through marriage, we wouldn’t have met thieves on the road, and those people wouldn’t have forced me to a dead end.
“After all, no matter if I lose my life or if I’m forced to lose my virginity, this marriage will not be established.
“I wonder… What role does the Lin family play in this matter?”
“My lady! You mean to say that those thieves that day were not an accident?”
“Of course not.” Yue Jiaojiao’s eyes were filled with a rare sternness. “Most of the thieves were not after money. The gold, silver, and pieces of jewelry that we brought along with us that day were all left where they were. Those people only chased after the two of us. It’s obvious that they came prepared.
“Even if they want women, why were they so persistent about me, whose face was covered, when they clearly didn’t take the other servants? It clearly doesn’t make sense.”
“It must have been Master Lin who sent someone after you.” Madam Qin wanted to fight those people to the death when she thought about the suffering her lady had suffered that day. “The Lin family definitely wouldn’t do that. The Lin family’s master is my uncle. But the current family head of the Yue family is also my blood-related second uncle…”
In the face of huge benefits, there would always be people who could not hold on to the temptation.
“Madam Qin, I can’t stop that cousin from the Lin family from coming here, but I don’t want to be found by him for the time being.” Yue Jiaojiao looked at her with a serious expression.
“I’m here today to bring you with me. Are you willing to go back and live with me?”
“Willow Village is located in a remote area with its back to the mountains. If he really comes, it’ll be hard for them to find us if we hide in the mountains. I don’t want to leave you here alone.”
Yue Jiaojiao didn’t believe the Lin family.
However, now was obviously not the time to confront them. Judging from the ruthlessness of those thieves that day, rashly confronting them would only add to the disaster.
“I’m naturally willing to stay by my lady’s side and serve her…” Madam Qin hesitated for a while before speaking again. “But… I’ll only be a burden to my lady in this state…”
As she spoke, she subconsciously looked into the room.
