Farmers' Lucky Baby Has Space

Lin Chu trembled with anger, “How could you be so foolish? That’s all lies!” Lin Silang also stared at Qiuyue in shock, clearly unaware of the truth.

Nalan Ming immediately ordered his men to expand the search area and make sure to find the child.

The group split into several groups and searched in all directions. Lin Chu was extremely anxious and joined the search. Finally, they found the little girl in a secluded cave. Fortunately, she was unharmed, just a little weak from hunger.

Lin Chu returned to the Lin family with the child in her arms. Lin Silang looked at Qiu Yue with great sorrow and said he wanted to divorce her. Qiu Yue begged him desperately, and the old man and old woman of the Lin family also pleaded for her.

Lin Chu looked at the child in her arms and, thinking that the child needed its mother after all, softened her heart.

She said to Qiuyue, "What happened today must never happen again. Treat the child well from now on." Qiuyue nodded repeatedly in assurance, but her eyes darkened noticeably when she took the child.

Only Lin Chu noticed it in the room.

Nalan Ming patted her hand, signaling her to observe the situation first.

Now that the matter was resolved, Lin Chu was about to leave, but was stopped by Old Man Lin just as he was about to go.

“Daughter, now that you’re back, stay a few more days. Your wedding was in the capital, and none of us were there. Now, let us get to know our son-in-law better.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Chu frowned. She glanced at Nalan Ming, and seeing him nod, she nodded as well.

Upon hearing this, Old Man Lin was overjoyed and asked Meng, Lin Sanlang's wife, to prepare wine and dishes, while he pulled Nalan Ming aside to start a casual conversation.

Grandma Lin sat quietly the whole time, not particularly enthusiastic, but she also didn't have the cold words she used to say.

Lin Chu wondered if she had really done something wrong, given how far the mother and daughter had gone.

After a few rounds of drinks, Old Man Lin, slightly drunk, began to talk at length about the Lin family's past. Nalan Ming responded politely, but his eyes were always watching the surroundings. Lin Chu felt that something was not right, especially Qiu Yue's overly calm demeanor.

Just then, Meng came in carrying a dish, but she accidentally twisted her ankle, spilling the dish all over the floor.

Just as Old Man Lin was about to reprimand her, Dongxue, who had been silently following Lin Chu, stepped forward to help Meng Shi up and tidy up.

Lin Chu saw a note under the table, quietly picked it up and hid it in his sleeve. When no one was paying attention, he opened it and read, "Leave immediately, there is danger."

Lin Chu was startled and quietly approached Nalan Ming. The two exchanged a glance, both somewhat puzzled. After all, Meng Shi had never given Lin Chu a warm welcome before, and even though she was her third sister-in-law, she didn't act like one.

Lin Chu whispered to Nalan Ming, "There must be something hidden here. We should be careful."

Nalan Ming nodded slightly.

Lin Chu made an excuse that she was feeling unwell and wanted to go back to her room to rest. Nalan Ming helped her walk to the guest room together.

They had only gone halfway when they heard a commotion behind them. Turning around, they saw a group of men in black appear out of nowhere and surround Old Man Lin and his companions.

The leader of the men in black sneered, "You really think you can get away with this today?" Lin Chu recognized them as the few who had escaped when the leader of the men in black was killed. He never expected them to walk right into his trap.

Nalan Ming shielded Lin Chu behind him and whispered, "It seems this was planned in advance."

At this moment, Qiuyue revealed a smug look on her face and shouted to the men in black, "What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and grab them!" It turned out that Qiuyue had already colluded with this group of thieves.

Nalan Ming snorted coldly, drew his sword from his waist, and engaged the man in black in battle.

Lin Chu followed closely behind, taking Dong Xue with him as they joined the battle while protecting the Lin family members. Soon, the men in black were no match for them and were defeated.

Seeing that things were not going well, Qiu Yue tried to escape, but Lin Chu tripped her with a wooden stick and made her fall to the ground.

In the woodshed, Qiuyue was bound hand and foot and thrown on the ground, while Lin Chu sat in a chair with Dongxue standing behind him.

This was the first time in so long that the three of them, mistress and servant, had gathered together alone, and they never expected it to turn out like this.

Looking at Qiuyue kneeling on the ground, her face pale, Dongxue felt both heartache and anger. "Qiuyue, why did you collude with bad people to frame our master?"

Qiu Yue snorted coldly, spat out a mouthful of blood, and looked at Lin Chu, saying, "Master? I am now of good status, and I am also your sister-in-law."

Lin Chu looked coldly at Qiu Yue, "Good status? If it weren't for me, where would you get your good status? Don't forget your roots."

Qiu Yue burst into laughter upon hearing this, "If it weren't for you, how could I have lived such a hard life? I used to serve you every day, and now I serve your family every day. The slightest mistake results in beatings and scoldings. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be in this situation!"

Upon hearing this, Dongxue shouted, "You're talking nonsense! You were the one who wanted to marry Fourth Master back then, crying and begging your master to grant your wish. Now that you don't like it, you want to blame your master? Do you have any sense of reason?"

Qiuyue glared fiercely at Dongxue, "You're just a servant, what do you know? I see you've also styled your hair in a married woman's style, so you're married too? You're dressed quite well, it seems you married well, and you still say she's not biased!"

Lin Chu stood up and slowly paced back and forth. "So you've been harboring resentment for a long time. But no matter what, you colluded with villains to harm your family, and that's an unforgivable crime."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Yue panicked slightly, but still said in a harsh voice, "I used to respect you as my master and obey you in everything, but what did you do? You only knew how to favor Dong Xue, that fool. No matter how hard I tried, you couldn't see it at all. I had no choice but to marry your fourth brother, thinking that he would treat me sincerely, but I didn't expect..."

"Just because I gave birth to a girl, and that child looks like you, my mother-in-law dislikes me and makes things difficult for me every day. All of this... all of this should have been your suffering, Lin Chu!"

Lin Chu raised an eyebrow: "That was the path you chose yourself. You had to walk it, even if you cried. What does it have to do with me? Did you think that I was being good to you when I kept you here and offered to let you become Nalan Ming's concubine, or... the Crown Prince's concubine?"

In the past, out of consideration for her feelings, even if Lin Chu saw through her, he never said anything. He just thought that since she was married, she should live a good life. He never expected that... Now that the words were spoken, Qiu Yue's expression clearly turned ugly, and she no longer had the arrogance she had before.

"So you knew...you knew everything, huh? Hahaha...you knew all along."

She suddenly burst into maniacal laughter.

Lin Chu turned to Dong Xue and ordered, "Report to the authorities!" Then he got up and walked outside.

Old Mrs. Lin and the others had been waiting outside the door. When they saw her come out, they said, "We can't report this to the authorities."

"Why?" Lin Chu looked at her biological mother with a sharp gaze, puzzled. This was the first time she had asked without backing down.

"Because she is your niece's biological mother and your fourth brother's wife." Old Mrs. Lin was taken aback by her daughter's gaze, but still spoke her mind.
