Chapter 384 The Child's Departure

In their eyes, we have never been a family.

I am just a plaything they keep in captivity.

"Stop using the word 'family' to disgust me." Lin Wan'er's voice was weak, but each word was powerful. "From now on, I have nothing to do with your Zhao family."

Lin Wanqing stood in the magnificent meeting room of Prince Lu's Mansion, his gaze falling on Lin Wan'er through the gauze-like curtains.

"Wan'er, you are right."

Lin Wanqing's voice was gentle yet firm, like a spring breeze blowing across the lake, causing ripples. She smiled slightly, and that smile was like the rising sun, warm and dazzling.

"From now on, you are no longer the Zhao family's plaything, but a distinguished guest of our Lu Wang Mansion."

Lu Shengyuan was also sitting in the main seat in the conference hall at this moment. There was a sharp light flashing in his deep eyes, as if he could see through people's hearts.

He nodded and said solemnly, "I will arrange everything so that you can leave here safely and start a new life."

In the courtyard outside the conference hall, the breeze rustled the leaves, as if cheering for Lin Wan'er's rebirth, while Zhao's mother and Zhao Zhiyuan were like fallen leaves in autumn, desolate and helpless.

They stood in a corner of the courtyard with pale faces and eyes full of despair.

"No... Wan'er, you can't leave..." Zhao Zhiyuan's voice was trembling and weak. He tried to step forward and grab Lin Wan'er's hand, but was coldly stopped by the guards of Prince Lu's Mansion.

"If you leave, we'll all be finished..."

Lin Wan'er looked at them coldly, without a trace of sympathy in her eyes.

"You asked for this. If you had known this would happen, why did you do it in the first place?"

Mother Zhao knelt on the cold and hard stone floor, her hands clenched into fists, and she kept beating the ground.

Tears mixed with mud left tear marks on her wrinkled cheeks.

Her cries were shrill and desperate, like a lonely soul lost in the night.

"I beg you, for the sake of our relationship as mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, please save us... We really know we are wrong, please give us a chance to live..."

The air around was filled with a depressing and heavy atmosphere, as if even the wind had stopped breathing, and only Zhao's mother's cries echoed in the empty courtyard.

Lin Wan'er stood not far away, her eyes complex and deep. Seeing the Zhao family mother and son who had once oppressed her now end up like this, an indescribable emotion surged in her heart.

She took a deep breath, trying to calm the turmoil in her heart.

Then, she slowly turned to the tall and majestic man beside her - Lu Shengyuan.

"Wan'er, don't worry. I won't take their lives." His voice was deep and powerful, as if it had a magical power to reassure people. "But I won't let them go easily either. The Zhao family bullied you first, and I will give you a fair punishment."

Having said that, he paused and glanced coldly at the Zhao mother and son.

"But from now on, you are no longer good citizens," he said word by word, "but slaves."

Upon hearing this, the Zhao family mother and son collapsed to the ground as if struck by lightning.

Being reduced from being a good citizen to being a slave was undoubtedly a great shame and humiliation for them who once thought highly of themselves.

"No...Prince, please have mercy on me," Zhao Zhiyuan cried, trying to grab the corner of Lu Shengyuan's clothes, but was kicked away by the guard.

Lu Shengyuan's gaze was cold and firm, like an icy blade, making people dare not look directly at him.

"When you bullied Wan'er, did you ever think that this day would come?" His voice was low and powerful, and every word was like a heavy hammer, hitting the hearts of the Zhao mother and son.

The Zhao mother and son looked at each other, their faces filled with despair and regret.

Lin Wan'er looked at this scene, a complex emotion welling up in her heart.

She had imagined countless times the scene of revenge on the Zhao family mother and son, but when the moment really came, she found that she did not feel the satisfaction of revenge as she had imagined.

She looked at Lin Wanqing, a hint of confusion in her eyes.

"Sister Wanqing, did I do something wrong?" she asked softly, with a hint of trembling in her voice.

Lin Wanqing gently held her hand and said softly but firmly, "Wan'er, you are not wrong. They deserved it. You did not harm the innocent, but only made the evildoers get the punishment they deserved."

When Lin Wan'er heard this, a hint of relief flashed in her eyes.

Yes, I did nothing wrong. It was the Zhao family mother and son who bullied me first. Their current fate is their own fault.

Thinking of this, she raised her head and looked at Lu Shengyuan, her voice firm and powerful: "Your Highness, thank you for upholding justice for me."

Lu Shengyuan looked at her, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes.

"Wan'er, don't worry. Since I promised you, I will definitely keep it." He paused and continued, "I will have someone arrange a place for you to go so that you can start a new life."

Having said that, he swept his eyes sharply towards the Zhao mother and son.

"As for them, leave them to me."

At this moment, the Zhao family's mother and son were kneeling on the cold ground, shivering, but they didn't dare to refute a word.

They knew very well that their fate was in the hands of Lu Shengyuan, and life and death depended on his decision.

Lin Wan'er looked at them, an inexplicable emotion welling up in her heart. She took a deep breath and tried hard to suppress the complex emotions in her heart.

"Sister Wanqing, let's go."

Lin Wan'er didn't want to see the Zhao mother and son again, fearing that she would become soft-hearted. Lin Wanqing nodded and took her out of the conference room.

Along the way, Lin Wan'er's mood was very complicated. She felt relieved but also confused.

After leaving the Zhao family, where should she go?

Lin Wanqing seemed to see through her thoughts, gently held her hand, and said softly: "Wan'er, don't worry, I will help you."

Lin Wan'er looked at her gratefully and nodded.

The two walked out of the conference room and came to the garden of Prince Lu's Mansion.

The garden was filled with the fragrance of flowers and the bright sunshine, making people feel relaxed. Lin Wanqing looked at Lin Wan'er and suddenly asked, "Wan'er, you are pregnant, what are you going to do?"

Lin Wan'er was stunned when she heard this.

I am pregnant with Zhao Zhiyuan's child. What should I do with this child?

She lowered her head and remained silent.

"I know what you are thinking, but this child cannot be kept." Lin Wanqing said suddenly.

Hearing this, Lin Wan'er suddenly raised her head and looked at her in astonishment.

Lin Wanqing sighed and explained, "You are still young and have a long way to go. If you take care of the child, it will be very difficult for you."

"Besides, this is Zhao Zhiyuan's child. If he finds out in the future, he will definitely cause trouble, and then it will be even more difficult for you to deal with it."

Lin Wan'er remained silent. She was very confused and didn't know what to do.

"Sister Wanqing, I..." Lin Wan'er didn't know what to say. She felt very conflicted.

This child is her own flesh and blood, how could she bear to abort it?

But what Lin Wanqing said also made sense. If she had a child, her future would be difficult.
