Shrewd Wife 366
Lin Yan sighed, feeling a bit perplexed whether or not to continue, but then his gaze met with Su Wan's, and his courage was back again. That's right, if a girl her age could see her mother take her life, he could at least let her know what happened to him, right? How much courage, determination, and trust did it take on her part to tell him the truth of her situation.
"She was the young master mother, Luo Xin, and the mistress of the Fu household. At first, she was calm, collected, and composed like every other mistress. I believed it until she took me away from young master's wing and moved me to hers." Lin Yan paused and swallowed a massive lump in his throat before looking at Su Wan with a silent plea in his eyes. "Please don't hate me for this - once she brought me to her courtyard, I realized what a freak she was. She had multiple male servants whom she would use to solve her physical needs. I was made one of them too. She locked me in a room and tied my hands and legs so that I couldn't run away from her. Because she wanted to break my will, she starved me for days. If I made her cum with my tongue, she would give me lunch. If I used my fingers, she would give me dinner. If I put things inside her, she would give me three meals a day; believe me, I didn't want to do it. I didn't, but I had no choice. I didn't want to die. I admit that not one place wasn't touched by her, but I never... I never lost my virginity to her. I saved myself for the woman I was going to marry. Please believe me." A single tear slipped free and ran down his cheek before more and more tears fell down, and before anyone knew it, he was sobbing like a child. "I didn't want to, but she wouldn't let me go. She would put things inside me do things I didn't want to do. Now... now she is back." Then Lin Yan took a deep breath and looked at Su Wan, his eyes brimming with humiliation and embarrassment. "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry."
His apology took her by surprise, catching her completely off guard, "What? What are you sorry for?"
"For being this disgusting and impure. I don't deserve you, Wan Wan."
Su Wan wiped his tears away with her fingers. She didn't need to ask any further or be a psychic to know how much sorrow Lin Yan held in his heart. "It wasn't your fault, alright? No one knew that the madam of such a big household was such a pervert." Then Su Wan hesitated, trying to choose her words very carefully. She didn't want Lin Yan to be more spooked than he was currently. Su Wan also didn't want him to feel responsible for whatever happened to him. "When you say that she is back, what exactly are you trying to say? When did you see her? Did she come for you?"
"I didn't see her myself. Eldest brother did when you two went to the town to see Ah Rui off to the academy."
That could only mean that Lin Jing knew about it but chose not to tell her. This statement of his gave her the answer that she wanted the most, "You mean to say that that old woman was the one?"
Lin Yan looked away. "I know. It's disgusting, but I was nothing but honest with you. When I spoke about the madam and the young master, I was referring to a boy older than me. You tell me how old his mother would be ?"
That wasn't the point. Su Wan was disgusted, but not by him, by that old woman who was eyeing fresh meat even when her foot was one inch away from her coffin! No wonder Lin Yan wasn't willing to tell her. He's proud. He doesn't want to tell her that he was forced by a woman thrice his age.
"You hate me, don't you?" asked Lin Yan in a soft voice. His voice was so small that Su Wan could hardly hear what he was trying to say, "You despise me for being so disgusting, right ?"
Su Wan stood up and hugged Lin Yan, "She will never bother you again, no matter how rich or influential she is. She can't hurt you without consequences. I won't let her," promised Su Wan. She still wasn't clear how she would do it, but she didn't want to leave Lin Yan living in darkness and fear forever. It was pretty unfortunate that she didn't wring that old woman's neck back when she first saw her. Honestly, even if she was sent to Yamen, it would have been worth it! "Did she try to hurt you again? You were behaving really weird last night ?"
"It's nothing serious."
Su Wan felt cold fury shoot down her veins as her eyes flashed with murderous intent. To think that woman dared to touch her husband when he was at home! With her! "What did she do to you?"
"She... she sent me a vulgar image of myself. I don't know how she managed it, but she made it look realistic."
That would explain why he behaved so awkwardly earlier, "Anything else?"
Lin Yan shook his head. "No, nothing else. I didn't leave the house, so she didn't get a chance to get her hands on me."
Relief flooded inside her body, though she didn't care about things like virginity, as long as her husbands knew whom they belonged to after marrying her. But the idea of someone touching them was enough to make her blood boil! "If that's the case, then everything is fine."
Fine? How was everything fine?! Lin Yan pulled back and searched Su Wan's face for any kind of surety. When he didn't get any, he hurriedly clung to her arms. "I didn't give her anything else! She used my as*hole but nothing else! I swear I didn't put my thing inside her, not once!"
That lowlife f*cking bitch of a woman! No, she changed her mind. She should have just driven a knife through that woman's heart and taken her life then and there in that alley!
