Flowers Bloom from Battlefield

37 This is Only the Interes

Loud screams from a particular quarter alerted the entire people in Lin residence. Most of the servants were all running with carrying pails of water as they heard about a fire happening in that quarter. Lin Yuan hurriedly went in the midst of the commotion. She could barely understand what was happening.

The door suddenly burst open and two people were rushing outside. Lin Yuan stared at the two of them with mouth opened wide. Can anyone tell me what had just happened here?

On her side, Lin San's face turned paled as she yelled, "Mother!"

Chun Maora's clothes were a bit uneven since she was lying down before the fire broke out. Her hair was also a mess, a few strands sticking out of her head, and a messy makeup. Her face was pale when she noticed the servants that were gathered in front of her quarter.

Jo Han's face turned darker. He was sure that he had read the words correctly and the one who was supposed to be staying here should be Jun Hua. How was it that the young girl he painstakingly searched for turned out into an old hag? He definitely did not have any interest towards Chun Maora.

"What's with this commotion?"

Chun Maora's face fell when she heard the voice. She recognized this voice as it was clearly that of her husband's. Soon enough, she saw her husband's face. But when she noticed his dark expression, she realized that there was no way she could get out from this trouble today.

She hurriedly kneeled. "My husband, this wife is innocent. I don't know from where this man appeared, but I truly don't know about him being here. Someone must have framed me!"

Jo Han wanted to scream, he looked like he was about to puke blood. He didn't know why this woman was in this quarter. He wanted to see that pretty figure, but somehow he was led to the direction of this quarter. However, seeing the dark face Lin Tang was showing he remembered his father's reminder, but there was no way he could tell the truth to them.

Lin Tang began to be suspicious, but he didn't show it on his dark face. Who would feel good upon seeing his wife cheating in broad daylight? He stared at Jo Han who ws standing up like an idiot.

"So you're not satisfied with the arrangement until you come here? Guards! Throw this man out of this residence and tell the Jo family to forget about the marriage agreement."

"Wait, Prime Minister Lin Tang, this is a misunderstanding. I don't even know how I end up here…"

Lin Tang gave a deathly stare to Jo Han. "So you're saying that you're sleepwalking inside my residence where countless servants are walking around?"

"That…"

Jo Han certainly could not tell the truth and explain why he was there. If he were to say that he wanted to visit Jun Hua, Lin Tang wouldn't let him go by only throwing him out. At best, he would be beaten black and blue to reason with Jun Zhenxian. He was not entirely stupid so he knew that there were some things he won't be able to do anymore.

Looking at the dark face of Lin Tang, he realized that the agreement would come to an end. After only a few minutes of closing their marriage alliance, he had to go and destroy it. Jo Han was indignant but there was nothing he could do while the guard threw him out of the Lin residence.

"Damn… father will be angry," Jo Han grumbled. "Whatever, I will enjoy myself first."

When Jo Han had been thrown out, Lin Tang focused his attention to his wife. He didn't really believe that Chun Maora would ever dare to cheat on him with that kind of man. But seeing the two of them in the same quarter was truly testing his patience. Even if he had suspicions, he would leave it for later.

"From now on, you cannot come out of your quarter for a month."

Chun Maora's face turned pale. Ever since she was elevated from a concubine to an official wife, when had she experienced this kind of treatment? She kneeled once again.

"This wife is truly innocent. Please believe me."

Lin Tang stared at Chun Maora coldly. The warm treatment he usually gave towards Chun Maora disappeared without any trace. The only one left was his cold and detached aura which completely suppressed Chun Maora. It was at this time that Chun Maora finally remembered that her husband was not just a nobody; he was an accomplished Prime Minister of the Left of Ming Kingdom.

"Even if I want to believe you, I cannot erase what I have just seen," Lin Tang said coldly. He turned his head towards Lin Yuan's mother, Concubine Sie. He remembered this woman was quite capable and she had a daughter too.

"You will be in charge of this household for this month."

Concubine Sie felt overwhelmed by this sudden favor. She hurriedly kneeled and said her thanks while Lin Yuan remained standing on her side clearly stunned at this turn of events.

After that, Lin Tang dispersed the servants as he went outside. The events from today had completely drained his energy.

"Yuan'er, now I can choose a better marriage prospect for you," Concubine Sie's eyes shone. Although it was only a month, it was more than enough for her to pick a better husband candidate for Lin Yuan. With her in charge, everything would definitely go smoother.

Lin Yuan nodded repeatedly. She glanced towards Chun Maora who was returning to her quarter with a dark face. The fire was small and there was even no need for such a heavy commotion. But the big ruckus was enough to cause the favor that Lin Tang had for Chun Maora to disappear.

On the side, Lin San's face was dark. Everything had been planned carefully, why should an incident like this happen? With her mother being grounded, Lin San realized that she wouldn't have any chance to make Lin Yuan's life difficult. Although Concubine Sie also wouldn't dare to make her life difficult, Lin San knew that during this time, Lin Yuan must be truly happy.

She suddenly wished that her brother was here. If Lin Hong was home, he would definitely still be able to talk his way to Lin Tang to give their mother a better treatment. After all, Lin Hong was the future heir of the Lin family. Unfortunately, at this important juncture, he was busy with the task he had at the academy and was currently staying there for an extended period.

Hidden from everyone else, a figure stood calmly with two servants by her side. She smiled as she watched the events unfold before her eyes. Not a single ripple could be seen from her calm face.

"Good work, Xia and Xiao Yun."

"Thank you Miss. We're only doing our work."

Jun Hua stared at the quarter with cold eyes. Within her heart she says quietly, 'This is only the interest for what you did to my mother. But you don't have to worry because I will still let you enjoy your happy life for a short period of time.'
