I originally planned to tell him that his health had recovered and that I no longer needed to stay, and that I wanted to leave. However, I was reluctant to ruin the peaceful and warm days we had left together, so I temporarily gave them some money. As a result, they became entangled with me.
One time, when I went out with Gu Chenxuan, Lin Wan'er saw me on the street. Her eyes lit up when she spotted Gu Chenxuan beside me. She approached and grabbed my arm, saying, "Lin Yue, long time no see."
I frowned and tried to shake off her hand, but she held on tightly. Looking at Gu Chenxuan, she smiled and said, "Is this your husband? He’s really handsome, not at all like the rumors say..." As she spoke, a shy expression appeared on her face.
Seeing her gaze fixed on Gu Chenxuan, filled with desire, I immediately understood her intentions. I scoffed inwardly; Lin Wan'er was truly shameless—she had been weak and ill before but now seemed to have designs on him. I casually responded to her a couple of times and then returned home.
What I didn’t expect was that after Lin Wan'er went back, she told Father Lin about Gu Chenxuan's situation. She had set her sights on him and wanted him to be her husband.
Father Lin hesitated, saying, "But Gu Chenxuan is a sickly person and is already married to Lin Yue; you can't just become a concubine."
Lin Wan'er, however, looked infatuated and scheming as she replied, "Father, I saw it today; Gu Chenxuan is just like any normal person. He’s exceptionally talented and has an upright character; you won’t find anyone else like him in the whole town! As for Lin Yue, humph, since she has achieved her purpose of bringing good fortune to him, her task is complete. I’ll marry into the family first and then find an opportunity to ruin her reputation. The Gu Family will naturally not keep her around; then I will be Madam Gu!"
Under Lin Wan'er's persuasion, Father Lin immediately agreed. One day, Lin Wan'er invited me out for a stroll under the guise of being an older sister. Knowing them as I did, I suspected it wouldn’t be anything good. However, not wanting to tear our faces in front of the Gu Family at this moment, I agreed.
I originally wanted to invite Gu Chenxuan to go with me, but Lin Wan'er stopped me. She said, "We sisters should share some private words; why bring him along?" I didn't think much of it and followed her out.
However, I didn't expect that Lin Wan'er had ulterior motives. While I was away for a moment, she secretly drugged my tea. By the time I realized it, I was already feeling dizzy and weak all over.
When I hazily woke up, I found that she had taken me to a secluded corner, where she stood in front of me with a few rogue beggars behind her. With a smug smile on her face, she said, "Lin Xiaoxiao, you can only blame yourself for stealing my things! Once the Gu Family throws you out, Madam Gu will be mine, and you will have returned what belongs to its rightful owner."
I wanted to call for help but couldn't utter a word; I was too weak and could only shrink back in fear from the dirty hands reaching toward me. Just at that critical moment, a man dressed in black silk with his face covered suddenly appeared and drove those men away.
Looking at the blurry figure in front of me, the familiar posture felt somewhat recognizable. Before I could think more about it, I fainted again.
When I woke up, I found myself in an inn with a letter on the table. The letter read: "Lin Wan'er has reaped what she sowed; you just need to wait and see."
As I looked at the familiar handwriting and recalled the blurry figure before my fainting spell, a hint of doubt flashed through my mind. But I dismissed it as overthinking; perhaps I had encountered a good person who acted heroically.
Reading the contents of the letter, I felt a flicker of anticipation in my heart. Lin Wan'er reaping what she sowed? What would happen to her?
Back at the Gu Family, not wanting to stir up more trouble, I didn't tell anyone. Following the instructions in the letter, I refrained from seeking revenge on Lin Wan'er and quietly waited.
Soon enough, I began to hear news about Lin Wan'er. While out with my servants to procure items needed for a banquet at the estate, I overheard people chatting at a tea shop by the street. They mentioned that just a few days ago at dusk, they discovered a disheveled woman in a corner of the vegetable market...
