So, what was Gong Shaojun thinking when he looked at her?
"My mother... she must love me, right?" Lin Qi suddenly asked softly.
Aunt Lin looked a little firmer, "You can question anything, but you can't question whether your mother really loves you."
The Aunt Lin in front of her is the best proof.
If she didn't love Lin Qi, why did she only make a few requests when Lin Jue brought his concubine into the Lin family, and all of them were for Lin Qi?
Seeking Lin Qi's position as head of the family was Gong Shaojun's love for his daughter.
Forcing Aunt Lin to set up the Soul Stone and obey Lin Qi's orders for life is also due to Gong Shaojun's love for his daughter.
Lin Qi was dumbfounded, she had to admit this fact.
Gong Shaojun may be ruthless to others, but he is really attentive to her daughter.
Aunt Lin continued to answer her original question.
"It's just a coincidence that your mother will marry your father."
Lin Qi blinked, her big eyes full of curiosity.
"Back then, the ancestors of the Lin family were traveling and saved the young head of the Bingcheng Gong family. An enlightened monk happened to pass by and said that the children of the two families were destined to be married. The two heads of the family were so excited that they made a bet."
"The only direct descendant of the Lin family is your father. There are two girls in the Bingcheng Palace family. Your mother is the eldest, so it is logical that she and your father will get married. When the two of them reach an age, both families have no objections, so they get married. We became husband and wife.”
"Although your father and mother didn't have a good relationship at first, they were respectful to each other. It's just that your mother likes to practice, and your father likes to play. After they got married, they were busy with their own things, and they didn't have much affection at all. In the end, they drifted apart. But your birth made the relationship between the two of them better for a while."
But only for a while.
Then it returned to the original state.
Aunt Lin took Lin Qi's hand and patted it. Seeing Lin Qi's face full of seriousness and maturity, she suddenly no longer wanted to protect her as a child.
She revealed a secret that had been in her heart for many years.
"When I sent you to Tianyi Sect three years ago, the Gong family sent you back to inquire about the news. After going back and forth, I discovered some clues, and then I found out that the Gong family had actually cheated on the marriage..."
"What?!" Lin Qi's eyes widened in shock.
Marriage fraud?
Lin Qi frowned and asked, "Guzu, what's going on?"
"In the Gong family's generation, there is only one daughter."
Aunt Lin's helpless eyes fell on Lin Qi, and she said with some difficulty, "Your mother... is not the biological daughter of the Gong family."
Marriage fraud is a fact.
It's a pity that Gong Shaojun has been married to the Lin family for several years, had children, and even helped the Lin family develop.
Now it's not that she can't live without the Lin family, it's that the Lin family can't live without her, the Nascent Soul Lord.
Therefore, Aunt Lin never revealed the truth to anyone.
It's a done deal, Gong Shaojun being the daughter of the Gong family is a good thing for both families.
Although the Lin family took advantage in the end, Aunt Lin was still disgusted.
What the Gong family did was very unethical.
"I later sent someone to investigate. Your mother was an orphan girl picked up by Mrs. Gong on the road. Mrs. Gong and Gong Jiazhuang were unable to conceive for a long time after their marriage, so they adopted your mother as their adopted daughter and raised her for two years. Madam Palace suddenly became pregnant and gave birth to a daughter a year later, who is nominally your mother’s sister.”
"The Gong family is a big family. We won't treat your mother badly, but we won't treat her too kindly either."
Because of Gong Shaojun's character, she lived like an invisible person in the Gong family, so Aunt Lin was not able to find out much information about Gong Shaojun in the Gong family.
Lin Qi was puzzled now, "Although the Lin family is not well-known in Nanzhou, it is not inferior to the Gong family in Bingcheng. Moreover, the marriage between the two families is a wonderful thing. How could the Gong family let my mother occupy this place?" Cheap?"
Aunt Lin looked at Lin Qi with satisfaction.
As expected of the head of the Lin family, he is so smart at a young age.
Aunt Lin was already relieved and would leave the Lin family to Lin Qi to take care of.
"The head of the Gong family and his wife naturally want the second young lady to marry into the Lin family."
Lin Qi's mind turned quickly and she answered immediately, "The second lady of the Gong family is unwilling?"
Aunt Lin nodded with a smile, "Second Miss Gong joined a sect near Bingcheng and made a lifelong private arrangement with the young sect leader. She refused to marry into the Lin family."
"The Gong family didn't want to lose this marriage, so they thought of the eldest lady, Gong Shaojun, who had been neglected for a long time."
"Because Bingcheng and Huangcheng are far apart, the Lin family did not get any useful information and got married in a haphazard manner."
If it hadn't been for the incident three years ago, the Gong family wouldn't have sent anyone here, and Aunt Lin wouldn't have discovered the clues. She might have been kept in the dark for the rest of her life.
Speaking of this matter, Aunt Lin was actually very angry.
If the Gong family doesn't want this marriage, just say so. The Lin family doesn't insist on forcibly marrying your daughter.
As a result, the Gong family wanted to save face, and they were reluctant to part with the young sect leader and the good future of the Lin family in Huangcheng, so they resorted to cheating on the marriage.
"The biological daughter of the Gong family married the young sect leader of the Chaoyun Sect and has now become the sect leader's wife. Your mother married into the Lin family and almost cut off all contact with the Gong family."
At first, Aunt Lin felt a little strange.
The distance between Bingcheng and Huangcheng is indeed far, but it is not like there has been no contact for several years.
For monks, distance has never been a problem.
Even though Gong Shaojun has a cold personality and is indifferent to family affection, the Gong family has her biological parents anyway, so they have to send someone over to check on their daughter, right?
At first, Aunt Lin wondered if Gong Shaojun had a big conflict with her family. She even asked Gong Shaojun herself and prepared to persuade others.
As a result, Gong Shaojun declined her politely, saying that she didn't like human contact, and specifically told the Gong family not to come to send anything.
After she married into the Lin family, she became the wife of the Lin family and should not have too much involvement with the Gong family.
This statement is very common in the secular world, but it sounds really weird in the world of immortality.
Aunt Lin didn't want to ask any more questions, so she stopped thinking.
"Later I sent someone to find out that your mother voluntarily married into the Lin family." Aunt Lin said with a calm expression.
"This information is not a big secret in the Gong family. I found out after just a few questions."
"After the second young lady of the Gong family refused to marry, after struggling for a while, your mother stepped forward and prepared to agree to the marriage. However, she and the Gong family had an agreement."
Lin Qi pondered for a moment and asked, "Is that what my great-uncle just said?"
Aunt Lin nodded, "I don't know the specific content. I only know that she said that by marrying the Lin family, she was repaying the Gong family for their years of upbringing.
After she married into the Lin family, she did not plan to have any further contact with the Gong family, and asked the Gong family not to send anyone to the Lin family to look for her.
Of course, when she is in the Lin family, she will not reveal any information and will continue to live as a daughter of the palace family. "
In this matter, Gong Shaojun was extremely benevolent to the Gong family.
But for the Lin family, it was a naked marriage fraud.
I don't know why, but after hearing the truth, Lin Qi felt that it was indeed the case.
