"Mother...what does this mean?"

After reading the letter, the two brothers looked at Lin in confusion at the same time.

"Burn it. I'll explain it to you later."

Since the letter had been seen by her two sons, Lin no longer concealed it. She was about to tell them everything when she heard a little maid outside the courtyard gate report that Liu Lanqi was coming.

Unexpectedly, Liu Lanqi came so quickly that there was no time to burn the letter. Lin quickly hid the letter in the dressing table, and then told the two brothers not to reveal any of the contents of the letter.

Although Xi'er and his brother didn't know what had happened, they nodded slightly out of trust in their mother.

At the same time, as children of the eldest wife, they instinctively did not like to take away Liu Tian'ai, who was loved by their father and grandmother, nor did they think there was anything wrong with her faking her death.

"You all go out first."

Just then, Yanagi Arashi walked into the room and gave instructions to the two brothers with an expressionless face.

Their mother was obviously in a bad mood. Chen Ge'er and his brother did not want to leave, but after seeing Lin nod slightly, they turned around and walked out of the room.

They still wanted to know about Liu Tian'ai, so although they left the room as instructed, they did not go far and waited in the yard.

After the interruption of the two brothers Chen Ge'er, Lin's brain has resumed functioning and his emotions have slowly calmed down.

"Master, why are you here with me instead of accompanying Aunt Tian?"

"Lin, we have been married for more than 20 years. You are such a smart person, how could you not know why I am looking for you?"

"I really don't understand, please explain clearly, Master."

Lin poured a cup of tea and brought it to Liu Lanqi.

"I'm not here for tea."

Reaching out to block the tea handed over by Lin, Liu Lanqi said coldly: "Lin, I want you to go back to your father now..."

Liu Lanqi didn't drink it, so Lin poured the tea into his own mouth.

Listening to Liu Lanqi's matter-of-fact tone, Lin sneered and said, "Master, it is the Queen Mother's order to let you go home to reflect and rectify your family traditions. Without the Queen Mother's consent, not to mention my father, even the current emperor will not allow you to return to your post."

Hearing Lin's refusal without hesitation, Liu Lanqi's eyes widened with anger, but he finally softened his expression.

"Don't forget that you are now a wife of the Liu family. If one prospers, all prosper. If one suffers, all suffer. Do you want to watch your husband fall? What good will it do you?"

Lin naturally did not miss the flash of hatred in Liu Lanqi's eyes. The last glimmer of hope she had for this man was gone at this moment.

"Liu Lanqi, my Lin family only married a daughter to you. We don't owe you anything. You'd better remember this."

"you……"

After being married for more than 20 years, Liu Lanqi never thought that Lin would look at him with a mocking look. He was so angry that he raised his hand to hit her.

Lin naturally wouldn't let Liu Lanqi hit her, so she quickly took a step back.

"Liu Lanqi, you still dare to hit me?"

"I……"

Facing Lin's cold gaze, Liu Lanqi raised his hand and didn't know whether to hit or put it down.

"Liu Lanqi, if you have the ability, you can find a way to get your job back. I will never go back to my parents' home to plead for you."

"Ms. Lin, you are my wife. What good will it do you if I lose my official position?"

"At least there's no harm in that, right?"

Lin hesitated for a moment and said, "Master, it has been twenty years, and our family has accumulated a lot of wealth. Let's go back to our hometown and live a simple life..."

"Lin, you grew up in the capital, but do you know how hard life is in the countryside?"

"Master, no matter how hard life is in the countryside, it is limited. Moreover, we have money and servants. What is the difference between life in the countryside and life in the capital?"

Liu Lanqi refused without even thinking, "You ignorant woman, I will never go back to the countryside."

This was Lin's last retreat, but he didn't expect Liu Lanqi to directly refuse.

She had really misjudged this man before, and she should really think about the future of herself and her two sons.

"Liu Lanqi, I don't care if you want to go crazy, but please don't take your whole family with you to die?"

"Lin, what do you mean by this?"

With eyes wide open, Liu Lanqi looked at Lin with murderous intent on his face.

At this moment, Lin was 100% sure that if she dared to say another word, he would kill her.

For more than 20 years as a couple, she had always done her best to help him so that he would not have to worry about his career in officialdom. However, she never expected that this would not earn her any concern from him at all.

How ironic and sad it was, but she couldn't cry at all, she just felt extremely heartbroken.

"Liu Lanqi, God is watching what you do. You think you did it perfectly, but you don't know that your little actions are being seen by others..."

Before Lin could finish her words, Liu Lanqi reached out and grabbed her neck, her eyes full of murderous intent.

"Lin, you know too much, which is not good for you."

Lin felt that it was difficult to breathe, but she still said with difficulty: "Stop it, our family can still live well..."

"You really do know."

Liu Lanqi strangled Lin's neck even harder, but Lin did not struggle at all.

"God is watching what we do. I can guess it, but do you think others can't? And the people you sent out won't reveal anything?

Even if you kill me, this matter will be known to others sooner or later. If you don't believe me, you can send information to your men now to see if your good girl is still in the place you agreed to."

"you……"

Liu Lanqi let go of Lin's neck and let her fall to the ground, gasping for breath.

"You'd better pray that Sister Ai is okay, otherwise..."

After Lin recovered her breath, she interrupted with a sneer, "Otherwise, Master, will you kill all the people who know about this, just like you killed me? Master, have you forgotten that the Queen Mother dismissed you for not managing the household properly? If anything happens to me, you will never be able to enter the officialdom again in your life."

The Lin family is still in its heyday, and Liu Lanqi really doesn't dare to do anything to the Lin family. What he just did was the limit of what he could do.

"Lin, we have been married for more than 20 years, are you really going to be so heartless?"

"Am I heartless?" Lin looked into Liu Lanqi's eyes and said word by word, "For you, I am willing to give up everything in the capital and return to my hometown to live a hard life. You still say I am heartless?"

"As long as my father-in-law comes forward to plead with the Queen Mother, our family won't have to go back to the countryside."

"Just give up on this idea. I will never ask my father for help. I will even tell my father that I don't care about your business."

"you……"

With Old Man Lin putting pressure on him, even if he had great abilities, he wouldn't be able to get his post back. Liu Lanqi couldn't help but look at Lin in surprise.

After a long time, Liu Lanqi asked in a deep voice: "Lin, it took me forty years to get to where I am now. Are you really unwilling to help me?"
