Chapter 799: Chapter 793: Have a Talk with Lin Qianqing

But Gu Youyou, this Miss Lin, showed frequent favors towards Jin Xiaoran, who appeared uninterested and aloof in response.

The sharp-eyed Madam Lin noticed that Jin Xiaoran was talking with Lin Xingyi and seized the opportunity to pull Lin Qianqing to the backyard.

She felt too embarrassed to ask directly, so she beat around the bush and said, "I see he treats you quite well, are you comfortable living in the Prince Jin Residence?"

Lin Qianqing managed a forced smile and politely answered, "Quite well, I’m provided with the very best for my clothing and living expenses."

A mother knows her daughter best, and tears instantly welled up in Madam Lin’s eyes.

Her outspoken and unruly daughter, no matter how much she was taught, when had she ever spoken so properly?

But what could she do about feeling upset? Who asked her to be born into the Lin Family? To have fought for a position as a principal wife for her, so she wouldn’t have to bow and scrape before her husband’s other women, was already the greatest effort she could make.

After all, King Jin used to call her ’Aunt’; as a child, she called him ’Cousin Jin’. Having just seen him, King Jin seemed to treat her well.

If she still couldn’t live well with such conditions, Madam Lin truly had nothing more to say.

"We have guests at home today, so I won’t keep you company. If you get bored, go find your cousin. I saw she wanted to talk to you earlier but couldn’t find the right moment due to her status."

Lin Qianqing acknowledged with a hum and said no more.

In the end, it wasn’t Lin Qianqing who sought out Gu Youyou; instead, Gu Youyou found her aunt had left and went to look for her in her former boudoir.

Gu Youyou pondered for a moment, adjusted her emotion, and then lifted her steps to enter through that door.

Her face bore a radiant smile, teasing her as before, "Have our little hawk been tamed into a canary after being caged for half a year?"

Having lived in a lifeless state for over half a year, Lin Qianqing was finally moved by Gu Youyou’s playful and cheerful voice.

"I was just thinking of coming to find you, but you have come by yourself."

Gu Youyou said, "Your status is different now. How dare I ask you to come to me? Of course, I should be the one to visit you."

Lin Qianqing didn’t argue and asked, "I heard you just returned from Qi Mountain yesterday. How have these days been for you?"

Gu Youyou’s eyes flickered slightly, and she flopped down onto the chair opposite Lin Qianqing, cocking up her legs and leaning back, saying, "I’m naturally doing well. Qi Mountain is the ancestral land of the Dao Sect, a place full of spiritual essence. I have been working on medicine to cure diseases there, and I have made some breakthroughs."

Lin Qianqing beamed excitedly, "Then, Cousin, is there a chance for your illness to be cured?"

Gu Youyou blinked, hummed an affirmation, and said, "I’m confident." She should impart some positive energy to her.

She spread her hands and said, "Look at me. Someone who has been repeatedly on the brink of death is still clinging to life. Sis, I know you dislike this marriage and are incredibly unlucky, having also been imprisoned because of King Jin. But being alive beats everything else! As for living your life, if you wish to be happy, you will always find a way to be happy. If you don’t know how to adjust yourself and always expect life to accommodate your own ideas, I can only say... even if you were made Emperor, you won’t necessarily get everything your way."

Lin Qianqing nodded slightly, glanced outside, and whispered, "I know. Actually, I planned to get along with King Jin. It’s all the same, whether in the Lin Residence or in the Prince Jin Residence, just moving from one cage to another. But..."
