Chapter 2040: The Finale
 

Lin Deshan glared at Lin Yuelan while carrying the pitiful brother. Then, he carried the two children back into the house.

When many servants saw that their old masters had left, they also left with good intentions.

All of a sudden, in the living room, only Lin Yuelan, Lin Xinyue, and Jin Ah Bao were left.

Seeing that everyone had left, Lin Yuelan said sharply,” Speak!”

Lin Xinyue opened her mouth, not knowing where to start.

A moment later, she told him everything.” A month ago, my third brother came to find me and said that the Aduo Chai Kingdom and Black Cloud Kingdom had formed an alliance. However, with the economic strength of the Longyan Kingdom and the strong troops under the general’s command, it was unknown whether the two countries would be a match for the general even if they formed an alliance. Their plan was to use me to get a hostage. I knew I couldn’t take you away, so I wanted to take the two children away.”

At this point, she immediately defended herself,” Master, you have to believe me. When I took the two little masters away, I definitely didn’t want to hurt them. On the contrary, I did my best to protect them.”

Lin Yuelan sneered and said sharply,” But no matter how you protect them, do you think you can really protect my two children once they leave Taoyuan Village?”

Lin Xinyue was stunned. She didn’t quite understand what Lin Yuelan meant.

Lin Yuelan clapped her hands. Not long after, the guards of Lin Garden carried a person in.

“Third Brother!” Lin Xinyue cried out in surprise when she saw the face of the person who was being carried. She was confused at first, but then she reacted and asked in disbelief,” Third Brother, are you following me?”

Lin Yuelan sneered and said,” Not only is he following you, but he’s also leading a group of people to ambush you outside Taoyuan Village!”

Taoyuan Village was a mysterious village. No force could approach it. Therefore, Lin Yuelan knew that these people were lurking outside Taoyuan Village.

At this point, Lin Xinyue understood everything.

She instantly became angry, shocked, and afraid.

It was obvious that her third brother did not believe her, so he was waiting for her to bring the child out before snatching her away. At that time, they would be considered to have captured the hostage.

Therefore, she now completely understood what her master meant when she said she couldn’t protect the two children.

When the Third Prince saw Lin Xinyue, he sneered and said,” Henala Anu, you really betrayed your country and became a traitor!”

She was not a princess but a slave in a foreign country. She was a traitor.

Seeing Lin Xinyue’s pale face, he continued to mock her,” I was worried that you couldn’t bear to bring them out, so I followed behind you, planning to snatch them away as soon as you came out. Just as I expected.”

However, he didn’t expect that they would be captured by a few men in black just as they found the place to set up an ambush. They then brought them here and saw Lin Xinyue.

Lin Xinyue trembled.

She had never thought about how dangerous it would be for her to keep her children by her side.

Before she made her move, she promised herself that the two children must be by her side or within her sight. She had to ensure their safety. After the matter was over, she would bring them back.

But now, she felt that she was too naive.

In Lin Yuelan’s eyes, Lin Xinyue had betrayed her master, but in the Third Prince’s eyes, she was a traitor. Her position was now awkward.

However, she understood that it was fine as long as she insisted on her position!

Lin Xinyue didn’t argue with her third brother anymore. She kowtowed to Lin Yuelan and apologized,” Master, I made a mistake. Please punish me!”

The Third Prince’s pupils constricted. Just as he was about to curse out loud, his mouth was gagged, and he could only make whimpering sounds.

Lin Yuelan said sharply,” Lin Xinyue, you’ve been with me for so many years. You should know that I can’t tolerate a grain of sand in my eyes. No matter the reason, you have already betrayed me. You should know the consequences of betrayal very well!”

Lin Xinyue kowtowed and said,” Please punish me, Master!”

“If you’re disloyal once, I won’t need you anymore!” Lin Yuelan said sternly,” Since you’ve been by my side for so many years, I won’t kill you, nor will I punish you. However, from now on, you’re Henala Anu, not Lin Xinyue, the head of the Lin Express Company’s intelligence department! I’ll find someone else to take charge of your work!”
