"Every place has its own rules. What is Jianghu? Those who burn, kill, rob, and take people's money can all be called Jianghu people. As long as you have strong enough skills, you can gain both fame and fortune."

Chang Huaijin's tone was very calm, and it was obvious that he did not agree with this concept. However, as long as most people accepted the rule, the disagreement of one person seemed particularly insignificant.

Lin Chunhuan sighed again, and slumped down on a recliner beside him, half-squinting his eyes as he watched Chang Huaijin's busy figure. "I just don't believe that with so many people in the court, they can't deal with the people in the martial arts world!"

"Of course, but what's the price?"

Chang Huaijin hugged a pink skirt, turned around and sighed, "The affairs of the martial arts world are decided by the martial arts world. If the imperial court does not intervene, then there will naturally be righteous people with open minds to suppress it and achieve a balanced situation."

"But once the imperial court intervenes, the delicate balance will be broken. Ah Huan, do you believe that in the end, the people at the bottom will suffer. The emperor is a wise ruler."

"But the fault lies in the fact that he is a wise ruler."

"He is a wise ruler, so he will not use the lives of the people to fill the hole. He is a wise ruler, so even though he knows that clearing up the martial arts world will benefit future generations, he still won't do it."

Chang Huaijin paused and put the pink skirt on the top layer. He remembered clearly that this was the one Lin Chunhuan wore most often. "The emperor's love is not a good thing in many cases."

"But our emperor is a sentimental emperor."

Lin Chunhuan was silent. This topic was a bit heavy and she didn't want to answer it. "I was talking to you about Aunt Jiang. Why did you bring up my father again?"

"What's wrong with my mother-in-law? Why is she so afraid of Aunt Jiang? She doesn't look like herself at all!"

"Not afraid."

Chang Huaijin pursed his lips and said, "It's guilt."

"Is there something to hide?"

Seeing Chang Huaijin hesitant to speak, Lin Chunhuan blinked and said, "It's okay. If it's really inconvenient for you to tell me, you don't have to tell me."

"My mother passed away early, and I lived alone in Liuxia Palace since I was a child. It was not until I married you that I finally had the opportunity to call you mother again, so... I just felt a little wronged because I couldn't see my mother."

When saying this, Lin Chunhuan had a calm expression, even with a hint of a smile on his face, as if he didn't really care.

But in this world, the person who knows her best, apart from Caiyun who has always been by her side, is probably Chang Huaijin.

He guarded her figure day and night and witnessed all her loneliness and desolation.

Although Lin Chunhuan always appears cheerful and smiling in front of others, Chang Huaijin knows that his little girl is actually lonely deep down.

"Actually, it's not that I can't tell you." Chang Huaijin took a deep breath, but in the end he couldn't bear the loneliness that flashed across his beautiful eyes. "It's just that a son shouldn't talk about his father's faults. After all, we are a family. Mother won't mind."

"It was more than a decade ago. At that time, Aunt Jiang was even more arrogant and domineering than she is now. Not only did she try to suppress my mother in everything, but she also spread rumors more than once when my mother was pregnant, saying that the child in my mother's belly was not my father's."

"It was just the beginning of autumn, and the weather was very hot. Mother was pregnant and was prone to heatstroke, so she took the girl to the garden in the evening to cool off. She accidentally ran into a villain who was planning to harm her. Mother was very scared and took the girl to hide behind a rockery for a full hour before she dared to move."

"At that time, Aunt Jiang came to stay at our villa just like now. Mother returned to her residence and was originally going to tell Father that there were uninvited guests at the villa, but she ran into Aunt Jiang pestering Father. The scene... was a bit unbearable. Although Father never paid any attention and even got furious and drove Aunt Jiang away, Mother still resented her."

"So." Lin Chunhuan probably guessed what happened next. "Mother didn't tell anyone about the criminals, and the person who was taken away was not mother, but Aunt Jiang?"

Seeing Chang Huaijin nod, Lin Chun cheered and breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a little depressed in his heart, "What happened next? Isn't Aunt Jiang fine now?"

"Nothing happened later."

Chang Huaijin swallowed his saliva and said, "That group of people acted very decisively. They were here to kill people. My aunt was stabbed several times and was still at the foot of the mountain. She was found by the people from the villa that day."

"Aunt Jiang was lucky. She survived the three fatal wounds. However, one of the wounds was in her lower abdomen, which made her unable to have children. Mother felt very guilty about this incident. She couldn't help but speak it out. Although it wasn't mother who hurt the person, but..."

Chang Huaijin was unable to say the following words, just as he said, a son should not speak of his father's faults.

No matter who was wrong about what Mrs. Chang did back then, it was not something that he, as her son, could discuss.

Lin Chunhuan also fell silent.

But I don’t find it strange.

There may really be absolutely good people in this world, but most people are a mixture of good and evil. As long as they are generally good, they will be judged as a good person.

Mrs. Chang is such a person.

She is kind and generous, she has saved and helped many people. She is not a petty person and is always compassionate, but even so.

Amid the intrusion of rumors and gossip, and when she saw her sister shamelessly seducing her husband, the evil in her heart temporarily controlled her mind.

Lin Chunhuan didn't want to judge whether this matter was right or wrong, and she was not qualified to do so.

"But even if mother feels guilty towards Aunt Jiang, she can't let her do this. Aunt Jiang and Second Uncle are so unclear, and your Second Aunt is also innocent."

"My parents never let me interfere in the affairs of our elders."

Chang Huaijin came forward and held Lin Chunhuan's hand, "You are still pregnant, so don't get involved in these dirty things."

"I don't care about other people. If anything goes wrong between you and the baby in your belly, I won't be able to forgive myself. So, even if it's for me."

Hearing this, Lin Chun smiled happily, "Do you want to hear the truth, or do you want to hear something nice?"

"Ok?"

In Chang Huaijin's puzzled eyes, Lin Chun laughed and said, "If you want to hear something nice, don't worry, I can't bear to make you sad, and I will definitely protect myself."

"If you listen to the truth, Huai Jin, I, Lin Chunhuan, cherish my life more than anyone else. Even without you and the child in my belly, I will definitely live well."

Chang Huaijin: “…”

I feel a little angry, but also a little relieved. What's going on?

Just as they were getting bored, Caiyun knocked on the door and said, "Princess, the steward in front said that Princess Lingyan is coming to visit. Madam asked you to pack up and go meet her."
