Lin House.

After Lin Zhiyue and his group returned, they felt as if their bodies were falling apart, especially Old Mrs. Lin.

She was already quite old, and although the Lin family had gradually declined over the years, she had always lived a life of luxury and had never suffered any hardship.

It wasn't until she was imprisoned this time, where she was locked up for a day and then interrogated, that she was so scared that she peed on herself.

In addition, Gu Yunwei had covered him in mud, and now his whole body was emitting a nauseating stench.

"Mother-in-law, go and wash up quickly."

Qin Shuangshuang was in pain all over after being hit with the board, but she still tried her best to be gentle and caring towards Old Madam Lin.

"Snapped!"

Grandma Lin raised her hand and slapped him across the face. All the hatred and anger, along with the shame and resentment, finally reached their breaking point.

"It's all your fault. You ruined me and caused Zhiyue to lose his official position. Are you satisfied now?"

“You are a jinx. Ever since Zhiyue married you, there has been no peace in the family. Now that the title is gone, what future does the Lin family have?”

The saying "Marrying an unvirtuous wife brings misfortune to three generations" is absolutely true!

Qin Shuangshuang was slapped again, and the anger in her eyes was almost uncontrollable. This old hag actually hit her again!

"Husband, my intention was to help you pay off your debts, but I never expected things to turn out this way. It's all my fault. Are you blaming me too?"

With tears welling up in her eyes, Qin Shuangshuang said, "Now that we have Consort Xiao as our witness, and the Xiao family has considerable influence in the court, there is definitely still a chance to turn things around!"

Lin Zhiyue was in a bad mood. From being a rising star in the court and admired by everyone, he had now lost his official position and title and had nothing left. The sense of loss he felt was unimaginable.

Everything happened in just a few days, making him feel like it was all a dream!

The pain emanating from his body constantly reminded him that it was all real; Lin Zhiyue had lost everything!

"Now I've even lost my marquisate, and I still owe the Song family so much money. I'm afraid... it'll be hard for me to recover."

Lin Zhiyue sighed deeply, his handsome face filled with disappointment. He was thinking that since Shuangshuang had saved Consort Xiao's life, perhaps she could really turn things around again.

Qin Shuangshuang grabbed Lin Zhiyue's hand and said, "Husband, believe me, I can help you rise to the top again!"

"What makes you say that?" Lin Zhiyue was surprised to see her so confident, and a surge of excitement welled up inside him.

Qin Shuangshuang glanced at Old Madam Lin with concern, and Lin Zhiyue immediately understood and said, "Mother, why don't you go back to your room and rest?"

"Zhiyue, don't let her fool you again!"

Grandma Lin was worried that Qin Shuangshuang would come up with another bad idea. "In my opinion, why don't you divorce this jinx and go to the Song family to win back Ruozhen?"

There's always a chance for things to change if she's willing to turn back!

“Mother-in-law, are you confused? The reason we have ended up in this situation is all because of Song Ruozhen.”

Even if Zhiyue really divorced me and I begged her to come back, she would never agree!

Qin Shuangshuang found it hard to believe that Song Ruozhen was nothing but a damned, short-lived ghost, yet her mother-in-law still hoped that she could marry Zhiyue.

She doesn't deserve it at all!

"Mother, you should go back to your room and rest. Shuangshuang and I will think of another idea."

Lin Zhiyue was well aware of how difficult it would be to win back Song Ruozhen now. On the contrary, Qin Shuangshuang had connections with the Xiao family, so there might still be a chance for him to be promoted.

As soon as they returned to the house, Lin Zhiyue anxiously grabbed Qin Shuangshuang's hand, "Shuangshuang, what's your idea? Is it really a chance for me to make a comeback?"

"Do you believe the dream I had now?" Qin Shuangshuang asked.

Lin Zhiyue was slightly taken aback. "Could it be that you're dreaming again?"

Qin Shuangshuang nodded, "I dreamt that the eldest prince would encounter danger during the royal family's hunts some days ago."

"As long as we show up and save the Crown Prince, the Emperor will definitely reward us. Then you can ask the Emperor to reinstate you to your original position. With the Xiao family's help, you'll surely rise rapidly in rank!"

Hearing this, Lin Zhiyue's eyes lit up again. "Is what you said true?"

"How could I lie to you? I originally thought that dream was Song Ruozhen deliberately trying to harm me, but now I feel that it really has nothing to do with her. It's clearly God helping us!"

The matter of the silver was just unfortunate; we were accidentally caught by them while we were digging for treasure. But actually, this dream was something I had while I was imprisoned.

That was the perfect opportunity; no one would have discovered it. It's a pity I was locked up in prison and never had the chance to see you, otherwise I wouldn't have ended up like this.

Qin Shuangshuang felt extremely guilty, gazing at Lin Zhiyue with eyes full of spring water, looking pitiful.

She knew very well that this incident would inevitably leave a grudge in Lin Zhiyue's heart, not only causing Lin Zhiyue to be punished and his whole family to go to jail, but also causing him to lose his official position.

However, she understood Lin Zhiyue, knew his soft heart and deep affection for her, and knew that as long as she cried a few words and then offered a solution, she would surely be able to make him treat her as before.

Lin Zhiyue originally thought Qin Shuangshuang's dream was just nonsense, but he couldn't help but be surprised after hearing it now.

If that's true, then Shuangshuang is their lucky star!

"You're right. If we hadn't been so unlucky as to be caught by them while we were digging for treasure, none of this would have happened!"

Lin Zhiyue's eyes lit up, "If everything in the dream is real, then I still have a chance!"

The next moment, his face turned grim again. "Ministers are qualified to participate in the royal hunting competition, but now that I've lost my position, I'm afraid I won't even have the chance to get in..."

"Zhiyue, Consort Xiao likes me very much. If I just ask Consort Xiao for help, I might have a chance."

Qin Shuangshuang's eyes were clear. "As long as Consort Xiao is willing to give you a chance, I'm willing to do anything for you."

Lin Zhiyue felt a surge of emotion and grasped Qin Shuangshuang's hand, saying, "Shuangshuang, you're still the best to me."

On the other hand, Song Ruozhen only caused him trouble, leading to his imprisonment. Fortunately, he married Shuangshuang, otherwise there would have been no peace in the mansion.

Just as Lin Zhiyue was about to kiss Qin Shuangshuang, his mind wandering, he suddenly smelled an unpleasant odor emanating from her and couldn't resist—

"vomit."

Qin Shuangshuang obediently closed her eyes, thinking that Lin Zhiyue only had her in his heart, whether in his past life or this life. She felt sweet inside, but suddenly she smelled a foul odor.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Lin Zhiyue vomit on her. She felt a warm touch on her lips, reached out and touched it, then screamed.

"what--"

The filth covering her body made her feel extremely disgusted, not to mention that even the corners of her lips were stained with it, making her feel more and more nauseous the more she smelled it.

"Shuangshuang, I'm sorry, I've been so exhausted these past two days," Lin Zhiyue said apologetically.

Qin Shuangshuang suppressed the urge to vomit, trying to maintain a gentle and proper smile, but she couldn't manage it. Her lips twitched. "Zhiyue, you don't need to say anything, I understand."
