Chapter 112 It's truly fate playing tricks on us.
Su Qing thought about it and, although she felt that Lin Shu's words were a bit strange, she felt that she should tell Lin Shu about it.
She immediately revealed Lin Shu's identity and everything about her life from childhood to adulthood.
After listening to Su Qing's words, Lin Shu fell silent.
She never dreamed that her body had such a remarkable origin.
The original owner of the body was the eldest daughter of the Duke of Jiang's Protectorate. She was pampered and spoiled since childhood. She was not only exceptionally intelligent, but also proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. The emperor publicly named her the number one talented woman in Jiang's country, and she was loved by everyone.
Because of this, he is willful and arrogant, but not spoiled.
Everything was fine before; she was still that high and mighty princess.
Lin Shu was deeply affected when news of her elder brother Lin Yao's death in battle while fighting for the Xia Kingdom reached the Jiang Kingdom.
Lin Yao was her beloved older brother and the person who had doted on her the most since childhood.
The Duchess passed away when Lin Shu was five years old. The Duke was busy with official duties every day and had very little time to take care of her.
It was Lin Yao who raised her, so Lin Shu was naturally devastated by the news of Lin Yao's death in battle.
She couldn't bear the thought of her brother, who had sheltered her from the storms of life, leaving her forever.
The news was like a sharp blade, piercing her heart and making her feel the pain and helplessness of losing a loved one.
On the day she learned of her brother's murder, she locked herself in her room and refused to eat or drink.
It wasn't until later, when the maids, out of worry, broke down the door, that they discovered their young mistress had already disappeared from the Duke's mansion.
When the Duke learned of this news, he sent people everywhere to search for him, until Qin Zixuan spread the news of Lin Shu's disappearance in Xia Kingdom to Jiang Kingdom.
Only then did everyone realize that Lin Shu had gone to the Xia Kingdom to avenge his brother.
At the same time, along with the news of Lin Shu's disappearance, news also came back that Xia Guo's God of War had disappeared.
Su Qing has been blaming herself for this, because she was the one who told Lin Shu about Lin Yao's death in battle. That's why she has been sneaking into Xia Kingdom day and night to search for Lin Shu's whereabouts for the past year.
"I'm sorry, if it weren't for me, you wouldn't have..." Su Qing said, tears welling up in her eyes.
After listening to Su Qing's words, Lin Shu sighed inwardly.
It's really fate.
No wonder the original owner of this body hated the Lu family so much after losing her memory; the hatred came from the very core of her being.
Even though she had lost her memory, the hatred in her bones prevented her from letting go of her resentment towards the Lu family.
The reason I'm clinging to Qian Lifeng is to find a way to leave this godforsaken place, not because I'm brain-dead and like such a scumbag.
Unfortunately, he still died here in the end.
Putting aside her extreme methods, her vengeful nature is exactly the same as Lin Shu's.
If she were in that situation, she would make the same choice.
Perhaps the only difference between her and the original owner is that she will not harm innocent people because of this.
The Lu family members are innocent and victims; they should not be implicated by her.
"This is not your fault. Even if you didn't say it, you would have heard about Lin Yao's death from other places, so you don't need to blame yourself too much," Lin Shu comforted Su Qing as she looked at the tears streaming down her face.
Su Qing sniffed, a forlorn smile on her face. "That's not what I'm apologizing for. I regret not being able to be with you."
"If I had gone to Xia Kingdom with you back then, at least someone would have helped you when you were helpless and desperate, and you wouldn't have ended up in such a miserable state."
Lin Shu didn't expect her to be talking about this, but unfortunately it was all too late.
The original owner will never hear it again.
"Don't get your hopes up, you might lose your memory along with me," Lin Shu said matter-of-factly. Although she didn't know exactly what happened to the original owner of the body, she hadn't forgotten that Yuan Bingxuan had a system that knew everything.
As is customary with the female lead always being omnipotent, having more people only increases the danger.
But Su Qing didn't know that all her sadness and self-blame were washed away by Lin Shu's jarring words.
Su Qing looked at her with dissatisfaction, "Although I'm not as smart as you, I'm not stupid either, okay?"
Lin Shu awkwardly touched his nose, not wanting to continue arguing with her about the issue, and quickly changed the subject to divert her attention.
"So, should we go straight back to the Duke's mansion to acknowledge our relatives now?"
Su Qing shook her head. "Of course not. We need to avenge you first. As far as I know, there is only one family in the world that can make you lose your memory and become ugly, and that is the Jiang family."
Upon hearing the name "Jiang family," Lin Shu's heart skipped a beat.
"That Jiang family?"
Su Qing's anger slowly subsided, replaced by a serious expression. "The Jiang family, a renowned family of doctors in the Jiang Kingdom, is also the family of your friend Jiang Mubai."
This time, Lin Shu completely lost her composure. She subconsciously tightened her grip on the reins. "What did you say? Jiang Mubai's family."
Su Qing nodded. "It's him. That's why I found it unbelievable when I first met him at Renyitang Medical Clinic."
"I never imagined he had infiltrated your inner circle. I wonder what his ulterior motives are."
"So the first thing we did when we returned to Jiang Kingdom was to avenge you and wipe out the entire Jiang family."
Su Qing's words made Lin Shu gasp again, "Exterminate an entire family? Is it that serious?"
"Of course they are. If it weren't for them, you wouldn't have disappeared and ended up like this."
Su Qing assumed she was worried about manpower, and said directly, "Don't worry, I've already sent a message to my brother by carrier pigeon, asking him to bring all the men. We'll start as soon as we arrive."
At this moment, Lin Shu didn't know how to describe his feelings.
On one hand, I was moved by Su Qing's actions in seeking revenge, but on the other hand, I was worried about her rashness and impulsiveness.
After much deliberation, she finally couldn't help but speak up, "Su Qing, the matter of annihilating an entire family is no small matter. Not to mention that the Jiang family is a family of renowned physicians with extremely high prestige in the Jiang Kingdom, acting rashly will only cause greater trouble. Furthermore, Jiang Mubai... he was, after all, a friend of mine, and there may be some misunderstandings between us."
Upon hearing this, Su Qing frowned, clearly dissatisfied with the decision.
"Friend? Lin Shu, have you forgotten how you lost your memory and how you became like this? If it weren't for the Jiang family, how could you have suffered like this? I can't let you suffer in vain!"
Seeing that her emotions were gradually rising, Lin Shu sighed softly, "But have you forgotten what happened to me? Impulsiveness will only bring harm to yourself and those around you."
"Besides, this is just your guess, it hasn't been confirmed yet. Even if we're going to wipe out the whole family, we still need to find out the truth first, right?"
Lin Shu's words startled Su Qing at first, but she quickly calmed down.
His fists, hanging by his sides, clenched tightly, stubbornly tilting to one side. "Even if the extermination of your entire family can be postponed, the red marks on your face and the memories you've lost must be recovered for you."
"Otherwise, even if I let them go, your father won't."
Indeed, according to Su Qing, the Duke already felt guilty towards the original owner of this body, and now seeing her in this state only exacerbated the situation.
After learning the truth, she would probably be even more extreme than Su Qing.
