Yusui Chang'an

Chapter 1202 A rising tide lifts all boats
Although Xiaotao was a family-born child, her biological mother, Liu Momo, was Liu Yunxiang's dowry mother and a trusted confidant. Liu Momo had only one son and one daughter and loved her very much. Not only had she never done any rough work since she was a child, she was also rarely scolded.

Ever since she was sold by Lin Jinyun, she not only had insufficient food and clothing, but was also often beaten and scolded for not working efficiently, and was almost sold to a brothel.

Lin Jinyun found her and did not allow her to leave the yard. Xiaotao tried to run away several times, but was stopped by the servants, and finally locked up.

After Lin Jinyun disappeared, the servants did not dare to release him on their own, so Xiaotao was kept in the house until today.

"If I hadn't stolen the key and escaped while the guard wasn't paying attention, the young master would have sold me if he remembered me.

I beg Madam to have mercy on me and persuade the young master to show mercy. I will never tell anyone about this."

After Xiao Tao finished speaking, she didn't care about Liu Yunxiang's shocked expression, and knelt down and begged, crying.

Upon hearing this, Liu Momo didn't care about the fact that Lin Jinyun sold her daughter. She felt cold in her heart and thought that keeping her daughter was the most important thing now, so she knelt down and begged.

Liu Yunxiang came to her senses, shocked and angry, but also couldn't stop the fear:
"I knew that little bitch was not a good person! She used despicable means to climb into the backyard of Prince Jin's mansion, and she even dared to tease my Yun'er!
If Yun'er is implicated by her, I will tear her face off! Send her to the pig cage."

Seeing that Liu Yunxiang hated Zhou Yuexue even more, Xiao Tao bit her lip and told Lin Li what she had heard:
"I heard that the young master's disappearance seems to be related to this matter..."

Lin Jinyun returned home after work. As soon as he entered the main courtyard, he saw Liu Yunxiang, who had been waiting for a long time with an angry look on her face, under the corridor.

Over the years since the family split up, Liu Yunxiang's personality has changed drastically. She is no longer as virtuous and gentle as before, and the relationship between mother and son is no longer as harmonious as before.

Therefore, when he saw Liu Yunxiang, Lin Jinyun just saluted and was about to avoid her. But when he turned around, he saw Xiaotao, who was locked up in another house. Lin Jinyun's face suddenly changed. Looking at the way Liu Yunxiang and Liu Momo looked at him, Lin Jinyun knew that the truth was revealed:

How could I forget to deal with Xiao Tao...

He didn't have time to feel upset. He just felt his scalp tightening. He calmed down and walked forward, trying to calm Liu Yunxiang down and prevent her from telling anyone.

Seeing her son's anxious and guilty look, Liu Yunxiang knew that what Xiaotao said was true.

As it involved Prince Jin's Mansion, Liu Yunxiang also knew the pros and cons, so she ordered Xiaotao to guard the gate and drag Lin Jinyun into the house for questioning.

Not long after, Liu Yunxiang could be heard cursing in a low voice from inside the house, although she tried her best to suppress it, she still couldn't suppress her anger.

Xiao Tao looked around the yard and saw that there was no one around. She turned around and looked back at the house, her angry face showing satisfaction.

After hearing Lin Jinyun admit that he had an affair with Zhou Yuexue, he took all the blame and repeatedly assured that Zhou Yuexue had nothing to do with his disappearance.

Liu Yunxiang cursed loudly, becoming even more certain that her son's disappearance must have been caused by Zhou Yuexue. She calculated the time and found that Lin Jinyun had just encountered the villain when Zhou Yuexue was found to be pregnant. How could this not be killing to silence the witness in order to climb up the social ladder?
But her bastard son, as if he was under a spell, believed in Zhou Yuexue without a doubt.

Seeing that Liu Yunxiang was still angry, Lin Jinyun was worried that he could not persuade her, so he sent Liu Momo out of the house and told Liu Yunxiang alone that Zhou Yuexue was pregnant with his child.

In order to stabilize Liu Yunxiang, Lin Jinyun dreamed up a beautiful dream:
Chu Chengyao has been very popular recently, and even the Ministry of Personnel has been in his pocket. It is possible that he will be the emperor in the future. The status of his child can also be improved by leveraging Chu Chengyao's status.
