Chapter 240 Lin Yuxin's Choice
Lin Yuxi gently patted Lin Yuxin's hand, her eyes full of tenderness: "Xin'er, don't be so sad. After my sister gets married, she will come back to see you often."
Lin Yuxin bit her lip, wanting to say something but stopping herself. Her eyes flickered, and she kept thinking about Su Mo's plan.
"Xin'er, why are you acting weird today?" Lin Yuxi noticed something was wrong with her sister and asked with concern.
Lin Yuxin quickly shook her head and forced a smile: "Sister, I'm fine, but I feel sad when I think about not being able to be with you every day like now."
Lin Yuxi sighed, put down the embroidery in her hands, and pulled Lin Yuxin to sit on the bed: "Xin'er, sister knows what you are thinking. But this marriage is the order of our parents. The emperor's grace is so great that we cannot disobey. Moreover, the eldest prince and I are truly in love with each other. I believe that you will be happy if you marry him."
Lin Yuxin sneered in her heart. Really like him? Everyone said that the eldest prince had a disfigured face and a weird personality. How could her sister really like him? But she said, "Sister, is the eldest prince... really that good?"
Lin Yuxi's face flushed slightly: "Xin'er, you have never met him, so you naturally don't know. He is a good man who is very good to me."
Lin Yuxin clenched her fists, her nails digging into her palms: "Sister, but people outside say..."
"Don't believe those rumors." Lin Yuxi interrupted her, "What others say is none of my business. I only know that the eldest prince treats me well, and that's enough."
Lin Yuxin looked at her sister's happy face, and her heart became more and more tangled. She thought of Su Mo's plan, and thought that she could become the queen after it was accomplished, and her heart could not help but waver.
"Sister, you must take good care of yourself after you get married." Lin Yuxin pretended to be concerned.
Lin Yuxi raised her head and looked at Lin Yuxin: "Xin'er, you too, don't make your sister worry."
As she spoke, she suddenly laughed, "But, Xin'er, now it's easy to tell us sisters apart. With the tattoo on your forehead, others can recognize you at a glance."
Lin Yuxin subconsciously touched her forehead, her eyes flickering.
Lin Yuxi seemed not to notice her sister's strange behavior, and continued, "Xin'er, after I get married, I will definitely find a good marriage for you."
Lin Yuxin's heart tightened, and she quickly said, "Sister, I'm not in a hurry. But you, if you marry into the eldest prince's mansion, I'm afraid your life will be difficult in the future."
Lin Yuxi shook her head gently: "Xin'er, don't say that. The eldest prince will protect me."
Lin Yuxin was silent for a moment, and suddenly asked: "Sister, if...if there is a chance for you not to get married, would you be willing?"
Lin Yuxi frowned and looked at Lin Yuxin in confusion: "Xin'er, why are you asking this? This marriage was granted by the emperor, so why shouldn't I marry? Besides, the eldest prince and I have a good impression of each other, so why shouldn't I marry? Don't you know how many young ladies out there are jealous of me?"
Lin Yuxin lowered her head and twisted the corners of her clothes tightly with her hands: "I'm just worried that you will suffer, sister."
Lin Yuxi took Lin Yuxin's hand and comforted her: "Xin'er, don't think too much, sister won't suffer."
Lin Yuxin lowered her head, feeling extremely conflicted. On the one hand, there was the "sisterhood" with her sister, and on the other hand, there was Su Mo's promise and the so-called "liberation for her sister".
"Sister, I..." Lin Yuxin raised her head and looked at Lin Yuxi, but she didn't know how to start the words.
Lin Yuxi gently stroked Lin Yuxin's hair: "Xin'er, feel free to say whatever you want to say."
Lin Yuxin took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to say, "Sister, if...if I could marry him instead of you."
Lin Yuxi held Lin Yuxin's hand tightly and couldn't help but raise her voice: "Xin'er, do you know what you are talking about? That's my sister's husband, your future brother-in-law! Those women outside want to snatch it from me, so why do you do this to me too?"
When Lin Yuxin heard this, she immediately broke free from Lin Yuxi's hand and stood up: "Who wants to snatch it from you? If they didn't feel sorry for you, who would be willing to marry you for you, having to live with a disfigured person for the rest of your life and endure the hardship? You're taking my kindness for granted!"
Lin Yuxi slowly stood up, walked to Lin Yuxin, and looked at her firmly: "Xin'er, the eldest prince and I are truly in love. You don't understand the relationship between us."
Lin Yuxin bit her lip and turned around: "Sister, don't be stubborn anymore. I will marry him for you, which can not only solve your dilemma, but also..."
"What else can I do?" Lin Yuxi interrupted her, her eyes showing disappointment, "Xin'er, are you hiding something from me?"
Lin Yuxin's heart tightened, and she pretended to be calm and said, "Sister, what are you thinking? What can I hide from you? I just don't want to see you suffer."
Lin Yuxi narrowed her eyes slightly, sneered in her heart, but her face was still sad: "Xin'er, from childhood to adulthood, your sister has always given in to you and protected you. But in this matter, I will not give in. This is my happiness, I will grasp it myself."
Lin Yuxin shook off Lin Yuxi's hand, her face full of anger: "Don't use your status as a sister to pressure me. I'm doing this for your own good, but you don't understand."
Lin Yuxi sneered in her heart, but a sad expression appeared on her face: "Xin'er, if you really want to do good for me, you shouldn't have such thoughts."
Lin Yuxin crossed her arms and said sarcastically, "Hmph, then you just wait to suffer, and don't regret it when the time comes."
Lin Yuxi turned around, with her back to Lin Yuxin, and said in a low voice: "I won't regret it, Xin'er, you take care of yourself!"
Lin Yuxin stamped her feet and was about to leave the room angrily, thinking to herself: Lin Yuxi, just wait and see, when I marry him, I will make sure that the eldest prince is killed without a burial place, help Su Mo ascend the throne, and I will be the queen, let's see how you can be so proud.
Lin Yuxi in the room looked at Lin Yuxin's back as she turned around, and her eyes gradually became cold.
……
Lin Yuxin returned to her room, lay on the bed, and let her mind wander.
At this moment, Su Mo's voice came from outside the window: "Xin'er."
Lin Yuxin was startled and quickly got up and walked to the window, and saw Su Mo standing outside the window.
"Su Mo, why are you here?" Lin Yuxin asked softly.
Su Mo looked anxious: "Xin'er, how are the preparations going?"
Lin Yuxin hesitated for a moment, but still said: "Su Mo, my sister seems to have feelings for the eldest prince, how about we...?"
Su Mo's face changed: "Xin'er, have you forgotten my promise to you? As long as you replace Lin Yuxi and marry into the eldest prince's mansion and poison Shen Minghui, I will marry you and make you the queen."
Lin Yuxin bit her lip: "But, my sister..."
Su Mo snorted coldly: "So what? Shen Minghui is our enemy, he must die. Xin'er, don't you want to help me get revenge?"
Lin Yuxin fell into deep thought, and Su Mo took the opportunity to hold her hand: "Xin'er, as long as this is accomplished, we can be together forever and live a happy life."
Lin Yuxin looked at Su Mo, and the balance in her heart gradually leaned towards him: "Su Mo, I...I will listen to you."
Su Mo showed a satisfied smile on his face: "Good Xin'er, you stay put for the next few days and wait for my arrangements."
Lin Yuxin nodded, and Su Mo left in a hurry.
……
In the next few days, Lin Yuxin pretended to be calm, but she was preparing for the plan in her heart. Lin Yuxi was looking forward to her wedding with joy.
Finally, it was the day before the wedding.
Lin Yuxin took advantage of the night and quietly came to Lin Yuxi's room.
Lin Yuxi saw her and asked in surprise: "Xin'er, why are you here so late?"
Lin Yuxin did not answer, but walked closer to Lin Yuxi step by step.
Lin Yuxi noticed something was wrong: "Xin'er, what's wrong with you?"
Lin Yuxin suddenly took out a handkerchief from her arms and covered Lin Yuxi's mouth and nose.
Lin Yuxi struggled: "Xin'er, you..."
