Qin Wan wore a cold expression as she tried to pull her hand away.
But Mrs. Lin gripped her hand tightly with her sturdy hands.
Mrs. Lin continued earnestly, "Ziqi has fallen ill, and who knows if it will delay his exams. I can manage; I can return home and be content living as the mother of a scholar. But you are the legitimate daughter of the National Academy Sacrificial Officer; accompanying us back home would indeed be an injustice to you."
With just a few words, Mrs. Lin again cornered Qin Wan.
Qin Wan shook her hand free and sat quietly by, waiting for Lin Ziqi to wake up.
Under normal circumstances, she wouldn't tolerate such a grievance and would have long argued with Mrs. Lin.
At the very least, Lin Ziqi would have to coax her gently for her to soften.
But Lin Ziqi's sudden fainting made Qin Wan hesitant to act out, losing the upper hand in the situation.
