Lord Lin’s voice showed his exhaustion, as well as some of his old anger.
The anger, obviously, was coming from Tenth Noble Son’s stance about staying in the Jinyun Hall.
The sudden shock of having a secret uncovered had already turned to silence. When Lord Lin recalled what had happened, he felt somewhat regretful.
Miss Jun’s threats were scary, but not unavoidable. If he had just directly taken her from the start, she would not have been able to bring out the threat.
It was very obvious that for Miss Jun, it was indeed a secret. Besides her, no one else knew. Otherwise, she would not have ask the Jinyun Hall to send back the young miss of the Fang Family, and also written down something.
The Jinyun Hall did not have any final proceedings at all. If you lost they took the money, if you won they gave you money. Since it was like that, what she wrote was naturally the secret, so that the Fang Family could threaten him at the right time.
At that time, if he had only been more firm in taking Miss Jun away, and that brat from the Fang Family, then when the time came and that girl was frightened and scared with no way out and used the secret to threaten him, at worst he would have just taken her life to stop her from speaking. Then the threat wouldn’t be a threat.
If only he could’ve stopped the secret from coming out, if only he hadn’t given Miss Jun the chance to say it.
It was foreseeable. The Jinyun Hall had decided not to be a roadblock, so Miss Jun took the opportunity to write down the secret.
The pity was that Ning Yunzhao had suddenly appeared and stopped them, and then the Jinyun Hall suddenly changed their stance and stuck their foot in.
Now, the die has been cast.
Lord Lin thought of how when he brought his daughter back, his wife had fainted out of shock and anger. Then he thought of how when his daughter woke up, the house was turned upside down. No one made food, and no one wanted to eat.
"Has Tenth Noble Son eaten?" he asked ill-temperedly. "Pardon me for the slight, we have not prepared food here."
Ning Yunzhao ignored Lord Lin’s resentment.
"Could Lord Lin permit me to ask more questions on what had happened?" he asked directly.
Lord Lin was infuriated.
"What’s there to ask, haven’t we admitted it all already?" he shouted.
"Admitting it and knowing it is not the same," replied Ning Yunzhao. "Lord Lin seems not to have asked, so I did. Miss Lin wanted to be my concubine."
He spoke so suddenly, with such surprising words, that Lord Lin, who had not eaten for a time, felt dizzy.
What did this mean?
No matter what it meant, it was much too shameful to talk about the private affairs of men and women, marriage.
Why would Ning Yunzhao, who was normally the most respectful of propriety, say this?
"Really, how shameless," was Lord Lin’s only response.
Ning Yunzhao did not feel that it was directed at him. He had just said that it was Miss Lin who wanted to be his concubine, not he who wanted Miss Lin to be his concubine.
What other people thought about him was not related to him. He would not feel ashamed because of it.
"Such behavior is not very good," he said with a nod. "But Lord Lin, don’t be too strict."
Why would he be strict? He never wanted to be, who would be strict on themselves. Can’t you two not bully people like this?
Hearing that on a day such as this, Lord Lin could only feel depressed.
"Although it’s like that, I cannot avoid being implicated in my little sister’s mistakes," Ning Yunzhao continued.
Little Sister?
Lord Lin stared.
"Miss Lin bore affection for me. She told my little sister she didn’t want to become a wife of the Ning Family, but to be by my side as a concubine. Intending to curry favor with Yanyan, who hates Miss Jun and intended to teach her a lesson, the two people with different goals were involved in what had happened today," Ning Yunzhao said.
Lord Lin was in shock.
He basically knew that the one who had added drugs and found a man to have a secret meeting with was his own daughter, but he didn’t know why.
Although it was hard to understand, he also knew that girls’ hearts were sometimes hard to understand. And now that Miss Lin was incredibly upset and crying without rest, he didn’t feel like asking her.
He didn’t think that it was actually...
So what that Miss Jun had said was true. The Ning Family’s son’s name was on the line. Although it wasn’t Tenth Noble Son Ning himself who had made such an agreement, there definitely was someone from the Ning Family involved.
