Quick Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Female Supporting Character's Revenge

Chapter 487 The Sister-in-Law in Uncle-Sister Literature 31

Just as Lin Suwan was feeling uneasy, her personal maid hurried in.

"Young Madam, the young master has returned from the palace!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Suwan immediately said to Duan Yihuai, "Quick, Yihuai, you should leave now."

They let him go again.

Although Duan Yihuai didn't say anything like last time, his expression was clearly rather unpleasant.

Under Lin Suwan's urging gaze, he finally responded, got up, and left.

Lin Suwan knew that Duan Yihuai was unhappy, but he didn't know what she was worried about.

After Duan Yihuai left, Lin Suwan instructed her maid, "Prepare some snacks and come with me to see the young master."

Since Duan Yiyuan returned home, he hadn't mentioned the divorce papers, which made Lin Suwan uneasy. She had to talk to him about it.

When she arrived at the outer courtyard where Duan Yiyuan lived, accompanied by her maid and carrying some snacks, he had just returned.

"Young Madam, what brings you here?" Xia Rong, who was waiting outside the study, asked.

"Is the young master inside? I've come to bring him some snacks."

Duan Yiyuan was naturally there and heard the commotion outside.

He knew that Lin Suwan's visit to him was probably more than just bringing snacks.

"Xia Rong, let her in."

Upon hearing the order, Xia Rong stopped interfering.

Lin Suwan stepped into the study and saw Duan Yiyuan standing by the window.

Duan Yiyuan turned and glanced at her, asking in a cold tone, "What is it?"

"I……"

Lin Suwan stood in front of Duan Yiyuan, her heart pounding.

She dismissed the servants and then spoke: "I heard that His Majesty has bestowed upon you the official position of Right Vice Censor-in-Chief of the Censorate. I have come to congratulate you."

Duan Yiyuan looked at Lin Suwan with a hint of sarcasm: "You came to see me just to say this?"

Lin Suwan felt somewhat embarrassed. She forced a smile and continued, "I also heard that His Majesty claimed that you have been handling secret missions arranged by His Majesty in the provinces for the past few years, which is why you haven't returned to the capital. Is that true?"

"Don't you know whether it's true or not?"

Duan Yiyuan sneered: "Lin family, outsiders may not know the inside story, but don't you know it either?"

Duan Yiyuan's words shattered Lin Suwan's carefully constructed facade, and a tear instantly streamed down her face.

Yes, no one knows better than her.

Lin Suwan cried as she said to Duan Yiyuan, "Why should I know? You want to talk about that divorce agreement, right? Let me tell you, I don't agree to the divorce, so it doesn't count!"

"Why did you come back now? You could have either never come back, or come back sooner. Why did you have to come back now of all times!"

If he had come back sooner, she wouldn't have ended up like that with Duan Yihuai.

Just when she and Duan Yihuai had crossed the line in their relationship, he unexpectedly came back.

Duan Yiyuan looked at Lin Su's teary-eyed appearance but was unmoved; instead, he found it quite ridiculous.

He said slowly, "This is the Duan family home. I can come back whenever I want. What right do you have to interfere?"

"Besides, whether I come back or not, whether I come back early or late, you are not my wife."

Duan Yiyuan's words deeply stung Lin Suwan's heart.

She seemed to lose her balance and grabbed the desk next to her for support.

"What do you mean by this? Are you trying to kick me out of the Duan family? For the past few years, I've managed the Duan family business for you and raised your half-brother. I've done my part, even if I haven't made any great contributions. Everyone in the capital knows that!"

In Duan Yiyuan's opinion, Lin Suwan's words were even more ridiculous.

"Does the Duan family's business and people need an outsider to manage them? It's not like the Duan family doesn't have people in charge."

Duan Yiyuan stood with his hands behind his back and said coldly, "Lin, don't put on this act. You know perfectly well why you're staying in the Duan family. Don't take advantage of others and then act innocent!"

"I……"

Lin Suwan was speechless for a moment.

The next moment, she cried even harder.

"No, you can't make me leave the Duan family! I was born a member of the Duan family, and I will die a member of the Duan family!"

Other women who are divorced or abandoned can still go back to their parents' home.

But she had long since lost her maternal family, and the Duan family was her only place to go. Where else could she go besides here?

Not to mention how much effort she has poured into the Duan family over the years; she has long regarded the Duan family as her own home.

"Yiyuan, don't do this to me..."

As Lin Suwan spoke, she stepped forward and tried to grab Duan Yiyuan's hand.

But before she could even touch Duan Yiyuan, he pushed her away.

Lin Suwan took two steps back and fell to the ground.

She shook her head, her eyes filled with disbelief, and kept repeating, "You can't drive me away from the Duan family... You can't divorce me..."

Duan Yiyuan knew that Lin Suwan's purpose in coming today was simply to get him to personally promise that he would not kick her out of the Duan family.

He wanted to kick her out directly, but Qi Ning said that she couldn't be let off so easily. She wanted to expose her affair with Duan Yihuai and ruin their reputations.

Duan Yiyuan turned his back, not wanting to look at Lin Suwan at all.

He said meaningfully, "You can leave now. As long as you continue to be an honest and dutiful young mistress and do not do anything to harm the interests of the Duan family, I will leave you alone."

Of course, this was on the premise that Lin Suwan would not do anything to damage the Duan family's reputation, but she had already done so, only outsiders were unaware of it.

Lin Suwan's crying stopped abruptly.

She understood the implication in Duan Yiyuan's words; it seemed he was promising not to send her away.

After getting what she wanted, she sobbed as she got up from the ground.

Lin Suwan stared at Duan Yiyuan's indifferent back for a while longer before slowly walking out.

Duan Yihuai's courtyard was right next to Duan Yiyuan's, so he naturally heard the noises from next door.

"What happened?" he asked, summoning one of his servants.

The servant replied, "Second Young Master, it was the Eldest Young Mistress who went to the Eldest Young Master's study."

"What?" Duan Yihuai slammed his hand on the table and stood up.

He didn't expect that as soon as Duan Yiyuan got home, Lin Suwan would send him away, but she herself would immediately come to find Duan Yiyuan.

However, before Duan Yihuai could get angry, he heard the servant continue, "The young mistress just left the young master's study. I heard that her eyes were red when she left, as if she had been crying."

Cried?

No wonder there was such a commotion.

Duan Yihuai's expression changed repeatedly.

It wasn't dark yet, and Duan Yiyuan was in the mansion, so he couldn't openly go over to see Lin Suwan.

It wasn't until midnight that Duan Yihuai quietly went to Lin Suwan's bedroom.

Lin Suwan was not asleep yet. As soon as she heard the noise, she immediately sat up in bed.

"Yihuai, why are you here again? Didn't I tell you to behave yourself now that your older brother is back?"

"Restraint? Aren't I restrained enough?"

If he hadn't been more discreet, he wouldn't have waited until midnight to come over.

Duan Yihuai stepped forward, grabbed Lin Suwan's shoulders, and questioned, "What did you go to see Duan Yiyuan for today?"

"nothing."

Lin Suwan still didn't want to tell Duan Yihuai about the divorce agreement.
