After rebirth, the scumbag prince only wants to pamper his wife every day

Lin Churan was stunned.

Her aunt was sitting on the side, and she didn't react either. Why did Shen Guidi's aura suddenly become so cold?

Shen Guidi frowned and called out, "Aunt Qiao?"

The Aunt Qiao she mentioned was Lin Churan's biological mother, Lin Huaian's childhood sweetheart and cousin, Qiao Xinlian.

Qiao Xinlian came back to her senses and looked up, meeting Shen Guidi's cold eyes.

She trembled in her heart and stammered, "This, this jade pendant was naturally given to me by the master."

Shen Guidi asked her with a half-smile and a contemptuous tone. It was obvious that Shen Guidi did not believe this argument: "If this princess remembers correctly, Mr. Lin seems to like this thing very much. Will he give it to you easily?"

Qiao Xinlian looked around, feeling extremely guilty.

Shen Guiyi put the jade pendant back into the box and asked calmly, "Aren't you here to ask for favors from me today?"

The subtext is, since you're here to ask for help, just be honest.

Qiao Xinlian's heart stagnated for a while, then she gritted her teeth and said, "This, this jade pendant, the master must like it very much. He has carried it with him for more than ten years and always told me that this thing is a family heirloom of the Shen family. If it is a family heirloom, it must have some other use.

But he couldn't figure it out.

I have wanted this several times and asked him to give it to me, but he refused.

Later, for some reason, when the old lady passed away, the master was uncharacteristically generous and buried a lot of good things with the old lady, even the jade pendant.

I, a common woman, took advantage of the moment when the old lady's coffin was closed to quietly find a jade pendant of similar size and shape from inside, put it in its original position, and then replaced it with this jade pendant and kept it with me."

In fact, what she said was not entirely true.

Lin Huaian was born in a poor family. He was generous when he was out in public, but he was unusually stingy towards people in the mansion.

She is like Lin Huaian's childhood sweetheart.

At the beginning, she could still get some love from him, but after a long time, Lin Huaian got tired of him.

If she and her daughter had not received some protection from the old lady during those years, she and her daughter would have been eaten to the bone by the women in the back house, let alone anything else.

The old lady was already in a frail state.

She took care of me wholeheartedly during those years.

Before she passed away, the old lady said that she had left something good for her unborn son, but she didn't say where the thing was. She only repeatedly told Qiao Xinlian to find a way to turn her over after she passed away and before the coffin was sealed.

It was when she was turning the old lady over that she discovered the silver bills hidden on her body.

When she was about to leave, she saw the jade pendant.

She hesitated for a moment, then looked at the old lady lying peacefully and the unborn child in her belly.

Qiao Xinlian gritted her teeth and took the jade pendant away. But she was afraid of being discovered, so she simply searched inside for a jade pendant of similar shape and size and replaced it.

She originally planned to leave the jade pendant to her son.

However, after her youngest son was born, he lived for two years and died due to illness. She was injured when giving birth to the child and could no longer have children. So she could only place all her hopes on Lin Churan alone.

Now, she naturally couldn't watch Lin Churan die.

As long as there was a glimmer of hope, she wanted to give it a try. When Lin Churan came to her and asked her to help think of a way to see if she could convince Shen Guidi, she hesitated, but she still came.

Come over with this jade pendant.

Shen Guidi didn't expect that there would be such a twist.

She looked at the jade pendant, then lowered her head to look at her hands, her eyes strange and complicated.

When she thought about the jade pendant being taken out from a dead person's coffin, she suddenly felt a little...unwanted.

Even though, the dead person was her bloodline grandmother.

She pursed her lips, her face was cold, and her tone was full of strong displeasure: "...How do you know that this princess would want this thing?"

Apart from whispering this request to Lin Huaian that day, she had never told anyone that she wanted this thing.

How could Qiao have brought it here?

Qiao Xinlian: "I guessed it myself."

"Guess?"

"Well, on the night when the eldest son was taken away by the Dali Temple, the master came to my room. He drank some wine and spoke a lot of nonsense and incoherent words, mixed with your request for Chunliu Lane.

So, I thought, you must be planning to take back the Shen family’s assets one by one, right?

Or, to put it more completely, you must be taking revenge on the Lin family, intending to take back everything that the Lin family snatched from the Shen family.

Since the jade pendant is a family heirloom of the Shen family, it must be taken back."

Shen Guiyi had a hard time expressing her feelings. She finally closed the box and asked Lin Churan lazily, "How do you want me to help you? As far as I know, Miss Lin and the old... young master of the Zhao family are going to get married tomorrow."

She wanted to say "Master Zhao", but when the words came to her lips, she changed it to "Young Master".

Lin Churan felt heartbroken when she heard this.

Shen Guidi looked at the fleeting embarrassment on her face and said insincerely, "Sorry."

Lin Churan didn't dare to say anything.

She held her breath and said stiffly, "Princess Yan, please help me."

"Yes, Princess Yan, please help Chu Ran. After all, she is your sister. Qi and my husband may have some grudges against you, but we don't."

Qiao Xinlian choked up and begged for mercy.

During the conversation, he even mentioned some of the disputes he had with Lin Huaian in the past.

Back then, she and Lin Huaian were childhood sweethearts, and the adults of both families and even most of the villagers tacitly agreed that they would be a couple and get married when they grew up.

She was looking forward to it too.

However, after Lin Huaian passed the examination to become a student, he went to study at the academy in the city. At that time, there were floods and bandits. When he was on vacation and saying goodbye to his classmates and heading home, he disappeared.

Everyone thought he was dead.

When he reappeared, he was already a scholar. Before they could be happy for her, they heard that he already had a wife and even a son and a daughter. He returned home not for her, his childhood sweetheart, but to bring his parents to the capital.

She wasted many years for Lin Huaian and became an old maid.

In the end, she was even taken into his house and became a little concubine who was bullied by everyone. From then on, she began her miserable life.

Shen Guidi's face turned a little grim as he listened to her talking about the past.

But she also knew that the reason why Aunt Qiao exposed her scars in front of her was that she just hoped that she could show some sympathy for her and her daughter, and help them a little since she knew that they were indeed innocent and that she was their stepmother and sister.
