Joyful Motherhood in a Rural Family-Chapter 1060 - 1059: Destined Fate!

At the moment at the foot of the Daqing Mountain in Dacheng County.

This place used to be densely populated, but now it was silently occupied by thousands of people.

Lin Xiner’s eyebrows had been tightly knit the entire time, staring at the silhouette in front of her with a pale, impatient face, she changed her sitting posture once again.

"Are you truly so stubborn, insisting on opposing me, Nan Tianzong? Have you forgotten that you are also my son?"

"Exactly because I am your son, I cannot allow you to take the wrong path and ruin Sisi. In this world, I only have this one younger sister, this one family member. I will never allow you to harm her!"

Nan Tianzong crossed his arms and looked at her coldly, completely unmoved by her words.

"I am your mother! Doesn’t that count as family to you?"

"When have you ever treated me as your son?"

A mocking smile curved at Nan Tianzong’s mouth as he looked at Lin Xiner with blatant disdain, "Your eyes only see your position, your revenge, when have you ever cared about the lives of others. Even Sisi, whom you seem to value so much right now, is nothing more than a tool for your struggle for name and gain. Don’t insult the word ’family’ by using it!"

The sneer at the corner of his mouth immediately infuriated Lin Xiner, and she could no longer sit still, leaping up from the chair.

"Shut up, shut up! Shut up... You have never experienced the agony of watching your family die one by one before your eyes, what right do you have to speak like this? What do you want me to care about? Care about that beast of a father who never treated me as a human? Or care about the Emperor of Zhao Country, who for power’s sake, would gift his own woman to his elder brother as a present? Should I, the Marquis, value these things? Would valuing them be of any use?"

The saliva she spewed from her mouth sprayed all over Nan Tianzong’s face, clearly driven to rage and exasperation!

Nan Tianzong slightly narrowed his eyes, staring down at her without blinking, "So... You intend to vent your full resentment upon us? Knowing full well what kind of man that Zhao Yuanlang is, you still relentlessly pressured Sisi to comply, willing to use her up completely? How can she bear such an overwhelming responsibility?"

"This isn’t using her, but responsibility! From the moment she was conceived in my, Lin Xiner’s, womb, these were the responsibilities she was meant to bear. A fate that was sealed from the beginning, no matter how she tries to run, the gears of fate will ultimately push her back onto the path she is meant to take! Just like I once did..."

Lin Xiner suddenly choked up here, her eyes filling with tears, unable to continue.

If she could choose, she wouldn’t have forced her down this path.

"What you want is nothing more than the power to confront him, an excuse to bring him down. Very well then!"

Nan Tianzong pondered for a moment, then abruptly looked up, "I am also your child! I will follow you back to Xixia, helping you to seize that supreme position! As for what should be done after capturing the throne, I believe you can handle it with ease, and it doesn’t have to be only Sisi. Right?"

He seemed to have understood that Lin Xiner’s reason for choosing Liu Sisi was simply because Liu Sisi was the first in line to succeed.

If he were to go, he could naturally replace Sisi’s position, although the chances of success would be slightly smaller.

"You would go? This..."

Lin Xiner couldn’t help but mull over it, as Nan Tianzong was already accustomed to a life full of deceit and schemes. He would indeed be more suitable for this than Sisi.

But...

She sighed inwardly, her original intention was to compensate Sisi, but it seems the other party did not appreciate it!

"Sisi is too straightforward, and she lacks any sort of precaution against others. Placing her in the perilous palace is not a good choice. It won’t benefit your great cause much, and she might even be a hindrance to you. But it would be different with me."

If it were indeed him, setting aside other things, he would clearly be more skilled than Sisi in matters such as controlling the military.

"I must consider this matter for a few more days, after all..."

She wanted to continue speaking, but outside the door, there came a series of urgent knocking sounds.

"Master, your subordinate has an important matter to report."

Lin Xiner had to pull back her hand, resignedly, and turned to sit down on the chair. Her deep voice carried through, "Come in."

The room door opened, and an attendant came in from outside, glancing at Nan Tianzong as he hesitated.

"Speak!" He stuttered as if tongue-tied!

Since she had resolved to take Nan Tianzong back to Great Xia, she naturally had to show her sincerity. Besides, as long as the other party was willing, she did not believe she could keep anything from him! After all, they had just moved here, and the other party had already caught up to them right under her watch.

Even just this skill alone was enough to prove a lot.

"Yes! The people on Surveillance Mountain have sent back a signal. They found that the Princess has already descended the mountain with... those who came to rescue her, and they are headed towards this small town. What actions should we take next? I await your command, Master."

The messenger wore a face of respect, daring not to lift his head.

Lin Xiner unconsciously glaced at Nan Tianzong, just in time to meet his eyes filled with a hint of jest. She immediately felt rather uncomfortable.

She coughed heavily twice, "Tell the brothers to hide themselves well, and just let her come and go."

Her original plans had been completely disrupted, which made Lin Xiner feel quite uneasy inside.

"Yes, Master."

Waiting until the attendant had left, Nan Tianzong instead burst out laughing!

"Master, that was quite the scheme! You let Sisi struggle on the mountain, with pursuers sent after her, so that the only way for her to flee was to come down the mountain, and there you were waiting at the foot of the mountain to have her deliver herself to you. Not only deflating her ego but also letting her witness your tactics... tsk tsk!"

"Cough cough... I am her mother, merely teaching her a small lesson. Does it warrant your pity for her?"

Lin Xiner felt as if she was being dissected from head to toe by the other person, an unpleasant sensation.

Nan Tianzong chuckled twice more, "I advise you not to let Sisi find out about this matter, otherwise..."

He knew Sisi’s temper all too well; she appeared very easy-going on normal days, but once someone touched her sore spot, not even ten horses could pull her back.

While speaking, he turned and walked towards the door, "Oh! By the way, I forgot to remind you. Marquis Yongping is coming this way with his trusted soldiers, estimated to encounter you in nearly one hour. I wish you all the luck!"

Having said that, he didn’t linger, directly opening the door and leaving the house, striding away.

Lin Xiner nearly clenched her silver teeth in anger, "This unfilial son..."

Di Yelei’s horsemen were coming? How could they be so fast! Could he be bluffing?

As she pondered, the attendant returned once more, "Master, the brothers covering our rear have discovered a large force of troops approaching this location. Expected to arrive at this small town within the time it takes to drink two cups of tea. Please issue your orders, Master!"

She inhaled sharply!

They were actually coming! The enemy’s speed was indeed fast!
