64 I will create my own happy ending

Jun Hua heard from Xia that the marriage between Lin Yuan and her husband was a grand one. The husband's family didn't dishonor the Lin family at all. After three days, when Lin Yuan returned, her husband followed and stayed at Lin family residence until noon.

"Lin Yuan must be happy," Xiao Yun said.

Jun Hua nodded. She had achieved what she wanted after enduring a lot from her time with Lin San. But not everything was over. Lin Yuan would not be happy if her mother was not alright. Staying under Chun Maora would only make Lin Yuan worried about her mother even more.

"Is there any news from Yasha?"

Xia shook her head. "He didn't say anything."

Jun Hua nodded. "Send a messenger to the academy and tell them that I'm feeling unwell. I won't be going there today."

"Yes Miss."

Xia did as Jun Hua instructed speedily. She didn't dare to delay her instruction. As for Jun Hua, she picked up a new book and started reading. Because of learning embroidery skills, she hadn't gotten the chance to finish the set of books she wished to read from a long time ago. This time would be a good time for her to finish the book quickly.

Jun Hua waited for the news patiently. She knew that whatever Concubine Sie planned, she would do it after ensuring her daughter's happiness. For without making sure that all her chess pieces are in place, she won't do anything drastically.

Jun Hua was right. After waiting for a few hours, she heard the news.

…

Concubine Sie was extremely happy that her daughter happily settled in her new home. Her husband was a good man and she liked him. Seeing the two of them being happy, Concubine Sie knew that she mustn't burden her daughter with worries about her anymore.

She was treading with light steps to visit Chun Maora. Today was the day she would take charge of the Lin household back.

"Madam Lin, you will be in charge of the household again," Concubine Sie said calmly.

Chun Maora glared at Concubine Sie with full of hatred. Her son was in jail and now her rival's daughter was getting married away first. How could she be happy? Despite being in charge of the household again, she knew that Lin Tang no longer looks at her with love.

Chun Maora sneered. "Do you think that with your daughter being married away your life will be better?"

Concubine Sie face fell, but she still kept her calm. She met Chun Maora's eyes as if saying that she would accept any challenge she throws at her.

Chun Maora felt highly insulted. "You dare to look at me like that?"

Concubine Sie sneered, "I don't have anything to lose anymore. You cannot threaten me with my daughter's marriage anymore!"

"You dare!" Chun Maora flared up in anger.

"Servants come! Lock this woman up! She needs some time to learn how to speak with respect."

Concubine Sie let the servants take her away.

Her eyes swept over the little girl who was watching her. Lin San was already in state of instability. She had lost her brother and now her mother keeps on getting angry. The arrogance on her face had disappeared, replaced with anger and deep hatred. The little girl was no longer the same as the one before.

Lin San hated her own father for not helping her brother and for beating up her mother. She thought that he was a loving father who cared about them. But now, she didn't even want to see that man's face anymore. What she wanted was to get out of this place and chase her happiness.

Concubine Sie stayed in the room where Chun Maora locked her up quietly. She smiled evilly and gazed up the sky.

"If you never want to let me live in happiness, I will attain it by myself. Even if that happiness means that I will no longer be here."

Concubine Sie stood up and moved the items she had put inside the room to the side. Ever since she managed the household, she rearranged everything inside the residence. Looking at all the things inside those barrels, she sighed.

She was a concubine daughter of some high-ranked officials. She thought that she could at least marry some low-ranked official. Who would have thought that her father wanted her to get married for connection? She had endured silently all this years. Bearing his child and allow Lin Yuan to be born safely.

Lin Yuan was the only one who kept her happy all this years. She loved her daughter so much. For her sake, she would do anything and everything. Now that her daughter had grown up and started her own family, she didn't want to hold her back from attaining her own happiness. This news might sadden her but only for a short while because she already has another person who will care for her.

"Lin Yuan, mother is sorry. Mother cannot help you much."

With that she pushed the barrel and let the liquid flow from the barrel to the floor. She grabbed a torch and lit it up before letting it fall to her feet. In a blink of an eye, fire consumed her whole being.

…

When Lin Yuan heard the news, she was shocked and hurt that she fainted. Her husband hurried back home and found his wife grieving over her mother's death. He held her in his arms to console her and allowed her to cry as much as she wanted to.

…

Chun Maora never expected that Concubine Sie would use her death to make things even more difficult for her. Given that she was the one who ordered Concubine Sie to be locked up in a room, she would be the biggest suspect over the death of Concubine Sie.

"Concubine Sie! You are truly a venomous woman!" Chun Maora was highly angry, but she could not do anything as the guards took her away. No matter how much she struggled, a woman like her was not a match against the guards' strength.

Lin Tang didn't say anything as he watched them take his wife. Looking at those eyes from Lin Tang, Chun Maora realized that Lin Tang had reached the limit of his patience and he won't care about her anymore. For Chun Maora, this was the end of her.
