Chapter 846: Reputation

Translator: Lonelytree

I eagerly followed behind Mr. Li. “Have you prepared your medicine?”

Mr. Li reached out for the cup. I hurriedly went forward to pour him some water.

Mr. Li took it and drank a few mouthfuls before putting down the cup. He sighed with a longing expression. “How can it be that easy? The first ingredient has already been prepared. Lin Hua is preparing the ingredients for the next one.”

“Then, why aren’t you monitoring him?” I’m a little worried.

Mr. Li drank another mouthful of water, and he slowly said, “He’s a smart person. He wouldn’t go so far as to make a move now. Although I don’t know why he wants to collude with Tong Hui and Tong Zhuo, he still values the Lin family’s reputation very much. For a hundred-year-old aristocratic family like this, reputation is more important than life. He has to protect the Lin family’s reputation. This is his weakness.”

I didn’t sympathize with Lin Hua at all. “He clearly knew this, but he still chose to cooperate with Tong Zhuo. He’s already an unfilial descendant of the Lin family.”

Mr. Li sighed. “Every generation wants to be stronger than the previous generation, and they all want to have their own achievements. In Lin Hua’s generation, they are even more ambitious.”

Mr. Li didn’t continue. I nodded. “Yes. That’s why he ran into Tong Zhuo! I reckon that the Lin family will become Tong Zhuo’s base camp.”

Mr. Li shook his head. “That’s not true. Tong Zhuo is so cautious, so he naturally doesn’t dare to enter the Lin family. I heard from Jing Tian that they’re sitting as guests in another wealthy family’s house. The Lin family is closed to visitors. Therefore, Lin Hua won’t cheat us. They have to leave a way out for themselves.”

I somewhat understood. I thought for a moment. “Then, has Lin Nan really regressed to a child’s intelligence?”

Mr. Li frowned. “It’s only temporary. Once the poison in her body is detoxified, she should be able to recover.”

“You mean that Lin Nan has really been poisoned and has really become… a little fool?”

Mr. Li Glared at me. “What exactly are you trying to say?”

I chuckled. “I’ve been deceived by her too many times. How would I believe her? In order to obtain the Phoenix Blood, she even injured herself. How would I know if she was pretending to be a fool this time? Moreover, she had already hooked up with Auntie Lan right from the start. Auntie Lan likes her a lot. What do you think I should do? How should I believe her?”

Only then did Mr. Li nod. “It’s right to be careful. However, you don’t have to be overly careful. Lin Hua understands this logic, and Lin Nan naturally understands it as well. No matter how much she likes Jing Tian, it’s useless. She can’t bear the name of a mistress because the Lin Family will abandon her. Without the Lin family, she’s nothing.”

Mr. Li’s words made a lot of sense. It was also the reason why I dared to put Lin Nan by Auntie Lan’s side. I didn’t think she would do anything too outrageous.

“Why didn’t you tell Jing Tian that you’re pregnant? Is it because you can’t confirm it yet?” Mr. Li suddenly changed the topic.

“Eh? Oh…” I was stunned.

Mr. Li glared at me. “If I said you’re pregnant, then you must be pregnant. Why don’t you just tell Jing Tian directly? What kind of medicine were you trying to have Tong Yan make for you? Nonsense!”

I hurriedly explained, “No, no, no, that’s not what I meant. I just wanted to find a suitable opportunity to give Jing Tian a surprise. I didn’t want to tell him so casually.”
