It was too tiring and painful to get married to a person one did not love and then live together for a lifetime. So, she simply did not understand why Shen Yunya used every possible means to get her Imperial Brother.
She felt that true love simply meant one must let go, and not use her love to bind the two of them. It was too exhausting.
“No. Either you get married or, as your brother, I’ll kill him!” Xi Jin strongly refused to accept this. He was most well aware of Lin’er’s character. It would not be possible for her to let that man have his way with her if she did not like him, let alone giving birth to the other person’s child.
In short, Lin’er would be wronged in this matter!
Dongshu Nation’s popular customs were not as liberal as Xi Yuan Nation. It was still wrong to lose one’s virginity before marriage, and, on top of that, getting pregnant out of wedlock. Otherwise, he would not have used this method to plot against Shen Yunya.
“Brother, you know that no one can force me to do anything I don’t want to. Also, I told you about it not for you to force me to marry but to discuss a proper matter with you. It is about Tianlan,” Xi Lin said.
Xi Jin was very helpless over what she said. No one could force Lin’er to do what she did not want. So, the matter of her being pregnant and also willing to give birth, was about this man she loved?
“What does this matter have to do with Dai’er?” He could not help thinking of her.
“Brother, are you treating Shen Yunya in this way because you know the cause of Dai’er’s death?” Xi Lin looked at him. She felt deeply sorry for her Imperial Brother. He was very well-protected and had a gentle temperament. But such a person was also somewhat indecisive and thick. But now that he became sharper, she felt sorry for him.
Xi Jin stiffened and looked at Xi Lin with a pale face. “You knew all this time?” he asked.
So, Dai’er had not told him and had always suspected him?
“Tianlan has her own difficulties. She originally did not intend to reveal her identity. But who would have thought that Shen Yunya would make such a move? She practically forced the marriage between Jiang Ying and Tianlan to drive a wedge between Tianlan and the Demon King. Once the scheme succeeds, Tianlan will be attacked by enemies on all sides…” Xi Lin explained.
Listening to Xi Lin’s words, Xi Jin’s face looked worse and worse and his heart also felt more and more pained. In fact, if Dai’er were to separate from the Demon King, it would be undoubtedly the best for him. But he was not as good as the Demon King and ultimately not worthy of Dai’er.
“And Shen Yunya also caused me to become pregnant. She had wanted to scheme and set up Tianlan…” Xi Lin briefly gave an account of what happened that night. She also did not deliberately conceal the information about He Lian.
She had told him everything. Her Imperial Brother would be able to figure everything out if he were to look into it.
Xi Jin clenched his fists. He looked furious. His warm eyes were full of murderous rage as he yelled, “Shen Yunya!”
She had already harmed Dai’er, and now she had hurt Lin’er too. She even wanted to destroy Dai’er’s new, hard-to-obtain identity. How could she be so vicious?
“Shen Yunya came to me in the afternoon. She thought I liked the Demon King and openly as well as covertly provoked me to get me to compete for the Demon King. She wanted me to arrange for Tianlan and Jiang Ying to be alone. I do not want to go along with it, but I want to beat her at her own game. I want Imperial Brother to deliver a message and help too,” Xi Lin bluntly revealed her thoughts.
Her Imperial Brother already knew that Tianlan was Dai’er and was also aware of the truth about Dai’er’s death. Then it was absolutely no longer possible for him to side with Shen Yunya. He could be trusted.
Without any hesitation, Xi Jin nodded and agreed. “Okay.”
It just so happened that the plan which he had been thinking of could also be put to use at this time. He definitely wanted Shen Yunya to pay the price for everything she had done!
