C8 Suicide
"Little sister Shen, how could you dare to go back on your words? That brother of mine has been sick ever since you chased him down, and he's been in a bad mood all day. But now you are slapping your hands together and refusing to acknowledge anyone. If you were to become your Empress, you would have pitied my big brother for ruining that great youth in your hands … "
Lin Wan's voice was loud, causing quite a stir in an instant. Even the head princess of Gui Ning was alarmed.
"Who dares to make such a ruckus? It will not disturb the interest of the matriarch. " The one who spoke was the second daughter of the Grand Princess, the GuiAn princess. Princess Gui An was indeed worthy of being a person who reared beside the Supreme Emperor. Even Shen Xin felt a bit of nobility from her body the moment she appeared.
"Mistress, Gui An came late. Gui An is begging for forgiveness!" First, he had to answer for his wrongdoings, and then he had to pay his respects to the Grand Princess. Shen Xin was curious. The relationship between mother and daughter did not seem to be close.
"You've come. Since you've come, accompany your mother for a good stroll. As for who dares to disturb my interest, go and receive your punishment." The atmosphere of the Grand Princess of Gui Ning was in a mess, Shen Xin could feel that something was wrong with her even from far away. According to the investigation, the eldest princess of Gui Ning didn't care as much for her second daughter as for her deceased eldest daughter, but she did care about her daughter's feelings. Why did something seem to be amiss right now?
"Grand Princess, please seek justice for this subject's daughter!" Hearing that she was going to be punished, Lin Wan fell to her knees with a mournful look on her face, causing the Grand Princess to stop in her tracks.
"So it's my evening child. Quickly get up. If you have any grievances, just say it. The matriarch will avenge you." Princess Gui An's anxiousness and her encouragement for Lin Wan from her eyes made Shen Xin understand that everything that had happened today might have been planned beforehand. Otherwise, why would a person who had accompanied the Supreme Emperor for so many years coincidentally appear here?
She had indeed flirted with Lin Wan's older brother, Lin Jin. This person was capable of committing all sorts of crimes. Previously, he relied on his family's influence and a beautiful sister who was favored by him to conquer the world in the capital. She was just making a move to tease him. She didn't expect him to be angered to the point of collapsing.
"Grand Princess, this subject's daughter's brother suffered miserably at the hands of little sister Shen. But due to the status of the Grand Preceptor, this matter gradually ended." Usually, Sister Shen doesn't like to go out anymore, but now that she's here, this subject's daughter dares to hope that she can give an explanation to her brother. Not wanting to disturb the Grand Princess, even if this subject and girl were to die ten thousand times, it would still be a given. As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Wan burst into tears and dashed towards a large rock at the side, disregarding everything else.
Everything had happened too quickly. By the time everyone had reacted, Lin Wan was already on the verge of death, and there was less air coming out of her mouth.
Shen Xin squinted his eyes. Lin Wan Lin was obviously acting, she would not commit suicide. Lin Wan and Lin Jin were a direct descendent of a daughter and a bastard son, not to mention that the Lin Residence had a direct son. The look Lin Wan cast at the princess of Guian showed that she would not be so foolish as to seek death for a bastard.
And who was the person who had stopped in the dark just now and then fell head first onto a rock? When she tried to look again, the place was empty, as if everything was just an illusion. But in the modern world, she, Shen Xin, relied on being a secret service agent to earn a living, there was no way for her to make a mistake.
