Shocking! The female protagonist unlocked her powers by killing people!

Prime Minister Lin blurted out, "The nanny's daughter-in-law gave birth to a child, and not wanting her granddaughter to grow up to become a servant in the Lin family, she switched the child after the madam gave birth."

"lie!"

Ling Yi sternly rebuked, "Granny, your daughter-in-law gave birth at home. How could you switch the babies immediately after the Prime Minister's wife gave birth?"

The Prime Minister's wife looked at Prime Minister Lin, waiting for an explanation.

Under the watchful gaze of his wife, Prime Minister Lin felt a little flustered. He had initially used the excuse that "his wife had been betrayed by someone close to her, and he didn't want her to be sad" to avoid revealing the details, so there was no need for him to go to the trouble of fabricating the story.

Now, suddenly asked without a pre-prepared reason, the more he said, the more mistakes he would make. Prime Minister Lin put on his fatherly airs: "Ling Yi, the nanny who switched the children has already been dealt with. That nanny was an old servant of your mother's. Your mother was already very heartbroken to be betrayed by someone close to her. Do you want to reopen your mother's wounds?"

"What does her sadness have to do with me?" Ling Yi stared coldly at Prime Minister Lin: "There's something fishy about this. If I cared about her, I wouldn't have brought it up in front of so many people. Do you know why I brought it up?"

"Because I want to kill her and destroy her spirit." Ling Yi said slowly, "I want to find out the truth about this matter. I want her to know whose child the daughter she's protecting so desperately, even at the cost of her own daughter's life, really is!"

"How dare you!" Prime Minister Lin, not expecting Ling Yi to utter such a treasonous statement, looked at the servants and said, "What are you all standing there for?"

"Are you just going to watch your young lady go mad?" Prime Minister Lin said, "Why aren't you taking her back to her courtyard!"

Upon hearing this, the servants were about to rush forward to grab Ling Yi, but Ling Yi stood still, neither dodging nor avoiding, his gaze fixed on Prime Minister Lin: "Whose child is Lin Zhuyu, after all?"

Seeing that Ling Yi was still dwelling on this issue, Prime Minister Lin was about to say that this was not his business, but what came out of his mouth was: "Of course, Zhuyu is my child!"

Upon hearing this, Prime Minister Lin was greatly shocked, but the others did not find anything wrong. After all, on the day they brought Ling Yi back, Prime Minister Lin, Madam Lin, and the children of the Lin family had said that Lin Zhuyu would always be their daughter, sister, and younger sister.

Others didn't find it strange, but Prime Minister Lin didn't think so, since that wasn't what he wanted to say!

Ling Yi gave Prime Minister Lin no chance to react and asked again, "Whose child are you with?"

Prime Minister Lin's expression changed. He didn't want to speak, but his mouth was out of control, and he uttered words that shocked everyone present: "It's my child with Yunniang."

Yun Niang?

When the Prime Minister's wife heard Prime Minister Lin say that Lin Zhuyu was his child with another man, her face turned deathly pale. Before Ling Yi could ask, the Prime Minister's wife impatiently asked, "Who is Yunniang?"

"Did you order someone to switch the children?"

Prime Minister Lin instinctively wanted to deny it, but his body and mouth were beyond his control: "Yunniang is a girl from Linglong Pavilion. She was introduced to me by the madam as soon as she entered Linglong Pavilion. I redeemed her and settled her outside. Later, Yunniang became pregnant, but her body was too weak. The doctor said she might not survive after giving birth. When Yunniang found out, she begged me to take the child back to the manor, considering her potentially precarious status after childbirth. But she needed a reason to bring the child back. Yunniang said she envied you. I never took a concubine, and even with her, I only settled her outside, never bringing her back to trouble you. She envied that our children were with their parents, while her daughter couldn't. Yunniang said we already have so many children, and none of them are by our side..."

Upon hearing this, the Prime Minister's wife understood everything: "So you switched my child and brought her child back, is that right?"

"Lin Tianliang, do you live up to your name?"

"You are utterly heartless. You switched my daughter with your child with a prostitute. How could you do this to me?"

Lin Tianliang's face turned ugly after being scolded by his wife. He subconsciously said, "Yunniang passed away after giving birth to Zhuyu. If I hadn't brought Zhuyu back, Zhuyu would have been without parents."

The Prime Minister's wife was shocked by Prime Minister Lin's words and said indignantly, "If you don't want you and your daughter to suffer outside, you can tell me about it. How could I possibly stop you from bringing her back?"

"But you insisted on exchanging my child for her daughter, just to save face and avoid ruining the praise people in the capital have for you. If she had given birth to a daughter, you would have taken her away. If she had given birth to a son, wouldn't you have taken away Yu'er instead?"

Lin Chengyu, who had almost been killed by Ling Yi and was still recovering, finally came to his senses upon hearing this and looked at his father.

Prime Minister Lin did not want to answer the question, but he couldn't help himself and said, "Yunniang's child is also my child. Since I promised Yunniang that I would keep the child no matter whether it was a son or a daughter."

"Father!" Lin Chengyu looked at his father in disbelief. Did his father mean that if that woman had given birth to a son, then he would have been the one who was switched?

Prime Minister Lin paid no attention to Lin Chengyu and continued, "Although I had the nanny switch the children, I also had her find a good family for the other child. Ling Yi may not know etiquette, but isn't he very good-looking?"

"You, you..." The Prime Minister's wife was so angry and flustered when she saw Lin Tianliang's self-righteousness that she fainted.

"Mother!" Lin Chengze and Lin Chengyu rushed to help her up.

The scene quickly descended into chaos.

Lin Zhuyu looked at Ling Yi, her eyes glistening with tears. She gently bit her lip and said softly, "Sister, you can want to know the truth, but how could you disregard Mother's safety and ask in front of so many people, causing Father to lose face?"

Upon hearing this, Ling Yi walked towards Lin Zhuyu.

Seeing Ling Yi approach, Lin Zhuyu felt a little scared and subconsciously backed away, but as soon as she did, she was slapped across the face.

Lin Zhuyu's head was turned to the side by the blow, blood trickling from the corner of her mouth. The pain distorted her expression for a moment, and the hatred in her eyes was almost impossible to conceal. But when she looked at Ling Yi again, she put on a pitiful look: "Sister..."

Ling Yi interrupted her directly: "Lin Zhuyu, if I were you, I would shut up right now, make my presence known, and get as far away as possible."

"We were so busy disciplining them that we forgot about you. Are you just asking for a beating because you're not satisfied?"

Lin Zhuyu was filled with hatred, but on her face she still looked pitiful as she looked at the Third Prince who had come with Prime Minister Lin.

The Third Prince felt a pang of pain in his heart as he looked at Lin Zhuyu's pitiful appearance. He then turned to Ling Yi and coldly rebuked him: "Ling Yi, Zhuyu was thinking of Madam Lin and kindly reminded you, but you attacked her. If it weren't for the marriage agreement, I would never marry someone like you!"

Ling Yi lifted his eyelids to look at the Third Prince, his eyes showing no awe or fear of his princely status: "She is a black-hearted lotus, and you are a despicable bastard."

"Isn't she the one you're engaged to? She doesn't want to marry you, and you're resentful but helpless, so you can only come here to humiliate me. Are you even a man?"

"I think what you should break isn't your legs, but your genitals. After all, you're spineless, not even as good as a eunuch!"

"hiss"

Upon hearing this, Prime Minister Lin forgot about feeling guilty, Lin Zhuyu forgot about pretending to be weak, all the servants lowered their heads, not daring to look at the Third Prince's face, and even Lin Chengze and Lin Chengyu, who were originally going to help the Prime Minister's wife leave, were stunned in place.

Ling Yi's outrageous words stunned everyone present.
