Truth 2

"Tell me everything that happened back then. I want to know it all, from beginning to end, in perfect detail."

Lin Yunwan looked at Lingxiang, who was kowtowing, and said calmly, "If you can explain yourself clearly, I can give you a chance to seek justice. If you can't explain yourself clearly, or if you dare to lie to me... wherever Madam sent you, I'll send you back right now."

Lingxiang shuddered in fright.

She gritted her teeth, trying to calm herself down, and said, "Eldest Miss, I'll talk, I'll talk!"

"Your Madam said she would take care of you, and you thought Madam genuinely cared for you. You didn't know, Madam hated you to death. She said if it weren't for your mother, she would have married into the family Madam ago..."

"The Madam soon became pregnant, but Madam was unwilling to offer the master a Concubine."

"The Physician mentioned it to the Madam, and the Madam, Madam people would say she was jealous, said she wanted me to..."

Lingxiang was too ashamed to speak, but her heart ached so much that she couldn't utter a word.

She knew her Madam's personality and that her husband's favorite was Madam. If she hadn't been greedy and if she had been able to see the situation clearly, she wouldn't have ended up like this!

Lin Yunwan said, "So, you're being asked to become the master's Concubine?"

Lingxiang nodded.

Lin Yunwan could already foresee what would happen next.

"Madam Xu Zhongli gave you the money, but she also asked you to do something bad for her. You agreed to Madam's request, and as a result, the Eldest Miss of the Lin family Third Branch bumped into her stepmother's stomach in the middle of the night, and was then said to be a jinx to her parents, so she was kicked out of the Lin family."

"I'm asking you, did you kick me, or did your Madam kick me?"

It's true that Zheng Shi is pregnant, but how could she possibly let Miss Lin bump into her stomach!

It's likely that she kicked Miss Lin hard, and then falsely accused Miss Lin of deliberately bumping into her.

Lingxiang knelt on the ground, lowered her head, and placed her fists on her knees.

At this point, she could only tell the truth, "Eldest Miss, I'm sorry... I kicked you!"

"It was Madam's order, so this servant had no choice but to comply!"

"Eldest Miss, I was wrong! I know I was wrong!"

Lin Yunwan remained unmoved. She said coldly, "Tell me what happened next. You already promised Madam why did she kick you out of the manor? You were her dowry maid, so how did she get rid of you? Doesn't anyone suspect anything?"

Lingxiang cried even harder.

"My Madam has no intention of me becoming my husband's Concubine!"

"After you were injured, I was confined to the Side Room. Madam fed me and gave me nice clothes to wear. I thought I was going to be promoted to a concubine..."

"Not long after, Nanny Fan gagged me and dragged me out of the manor."

At this point, Lingxiang trembled. "The Madam actually sold me to a slave trader!"

She was a first-class maid in the Lin family, yet she ended up in the hands of human traffickers!

Her situation was turned upside down; she went from being a person of high status to being treated like an animal... She almost didn't survive!

Lingxiang cried, "Eldest Miss, the slave traders sold me to several places! Madam cruel!"

Lin Yunwan didn't feel much sympathy for the maid.

For her own wealth and status, Lingxiang showed no mercy when she kicked Miss Lin.

Unfortunately, it fell into the hands of the Zheng Shi, allowing her to kill two thorns in her side with one stone.

She's already bleeding; does Lin Huabin still have the mind to take a concubine?

Zheng Shi's considerations were indeed very thorough and comprehensive!

Does Lin Huabin know that his wife is actually so smart?

Lingxiang wasn't stupid; she knew her chance to redeem herself had come. She wiped away her tears and asked, "Eldest Miss, what do you want me to do?"

"This servant is willing to do anything for you."

She knelt down to Lin Yunwan's feet, but dared not touch Lin Yunwan's clothes. Looking up, she said, "Eldest Miss, if you give the word, I will serve you like a slave! I only beg you to save me!"

Lin Yunwan asked a crucial question, "Madam said she was hit in the stomach, and Master believed her?"

They probably hadn't separated yet at that time.

"If Master believes it, do you think the Old Madam, the Physician, and the Third Madam also believe it?"

Lingxiang said, "Madam instructed me to prepare a dose of medicine beforehand. It won't seriously harm the fetus, but it may cause spotting."

Lin Yunwan frowned. "That's a medicine that can harm the fetus, will the Physician prescribe it?"

Lingxiang said, "... Madam made me spend money."

Of course, it wasn't a perfectly legitimate reason, so she went to get the medicine alone, and nobody knew about it.

Lin Yunwan thought for a moment, then said coldly, "Is this why Madam has to get rid of you?"

It's easy to get rid of a maid; Lin Huabin dotes on her so much that not taking Lingxiang as a concubine is just a small matter.

What Zheng Shi feared most was prescribing medicine, as it would leave him with leverage against her!

Lingxiang's eyes lit up. "Yes! Yes! Yes!"

She only understood what was really going on after she fell into the hands of human traffickers.

Lin Yunwan said, "If you still remember the Physician from back then, and can find him, I'll promise to help you escape your current life."

Lingxiang shouted, "Eldest Miss! I hid the prescription! Go back and find the prescription! Go find it! It's the Physician's prescription, it has the Physician's handwriting on it..."

"Where?"

Lingxiang closed her eyes and recalled, saying, "I was afraid of being discovered Madam, so I hid where the Old Madam lived instead... and my name was..."

"Bixi Hall".

This is the Courtyard where Lin Yunwan lives now.

"Yes, it's Bixi Hall!"

Lingxiang had almost forgotten; she never imagined that the extra bit of shrewdness she had back then would become her lifeline.

She told Lin Yunwan where the prescription was hidden.

"At the base of the wall, dig down several inches, and you'll find it wrapped in cowhide."

"Eldest Miss, please go find it!"

"As long as no one digs up the wall, the prescription will be fine!"

Lin Yunwan thought about it and figured the prescription was probably still in the same place.

She said, "I'll find the prescription and get it for you."

Lingxiang didn't understand. "Give it to me?"

Lin Yunwan asked, "Don't you want to clear your name?"

Lingxiang nodded; of course she wanted to!

Look at the state she's living now! It's all because she was instigated by her Madam to do something bad, but the mastermind is her Madam, so why is her Madam still living so well?

"Eldest Miss, please tell me what to do."

Lin Yunwan said, "Let's go to the government office to file a complaint."

Lingxiang was taken aback, a little afraid to go to the government office.

Lin Yunwan said, "Someone will write your complaint and someone will deliver it to the government office."

"If you can clear your name, I will not only help you out of your current predicament, but I will also give you money."

There's still silver!

Lingxiang kowtowed and said, "Eldest Miss, this servant is willing!"

Whether a four-year-old child intentionally bumped into his stepmother's stomach or not, the truth about Miss Lin's case will come to light once it goes to court!
