Flowers Bloom from Battlefield

33 Making a Cooperative Plan

Jun Hua stayed with Lin San for another couple of hours to learn more about embroidery. When she finished eating her lunch, she headed to Lin Yuan's quarter to see how the girl reacted upon receiving this news.

Lin Yuan's quarter located quite far from hers. It took Jun Hua a few minutes under Xiao Yun's lead, before she managed to arrive on the place. From the outside, Jun Hua could see that the atmosphere was gloomy, if not scary.

Sighing, Jun Hua nodded to Xia and the girl went ahead first to announce Jun Hua's arrival.

"Please come in."

Lin Yuan voice was hoarse and cracked. It was clear that she had been crying for a long time. When Jun Hua entered, she could see that the floor was a mess with countless broken porcelain pieces scattered. Lin Yuan must have thrown a fit before. Jun Hua sighed in her heart.

Lin Yuan's eyes were red, but she still calmly faced Jun Hua and sat down. She realized that it was her fault for getting her hopes up too high. But in the end, what did she get?

"Sister Lin Yuan, are you alright?" Jun Hua asked.

"No, I'm not…" Lin Yuan bit her lower lips, tears threatening to pour down again. "They chose that kind of man to be my husband, how can I remain calm? With that kind of personality, how can I accept him as my husband?"

Jun Hua didn't really know what Lin Yuan was feeling right now, but she could tell that there were tinges of grief. As the daughter of a duke, she must be hoping for a good husband. This particular candidate as her husband-to-be had a very good family background. But the thing is, this candidate's personality was very tainted and proved to be a problem.

Xiao Yun and Xia were busy clearing the path for her to step in safely, since the whole floor was a mess.

"What was your mother reaction?" Jun Hua asked.

"She's pleading Madam Lin to change her decision," Lin Yuan raised her head, with her eyes silently pleading Jun Hua. "Tell me, what should I do now? I don't want to marry that kind of man."

Jun Hua knew that Lin Yuan's end in that man's hand won't be good. She had formulated ways to help her, but then she needed some reasons to be convinced to help Lin Yuan.

"I know a way to help you," Jun Hua said slowly. "But tell me your reason why I should help you."

Lin Yuan was stunned. She didn't expect Jun Hua to offer help in her situation. She racked her brains for a while, but she could not think of anything. What reasons could she possibly have? She was only a little girl who didn't even know anything aside from some pitiful things. There was no way she could possibly give anything valuable to Jun Hua.

Seeing the distressed look on Lin Yuan's face, Jun Hua caved in. She needed someone in her plans too and Lin Yuan was a good choice.

"In the future, whenever I ask for help, will you help me?" Jun Hua went straight to the point.

"If you help me get a good marriage partner, whatever you ask I will do it," Lin Yuan stared at Jun Hua with determination. For her, as long as she could have a good life in the future, she would do anything the other party asked of her. She did not have power to do anything at this point, and even her mother didn't have any means to prevent the wedding. Thus, she basically had no way out.

Jun Hua stared at Lin Yuan's eyes. Those were the kind of eyes that a person that had been driven to the corner without any hope, but still had the determination to live a better life. She had once seen those eyes on another person. That same determination was what pushed that person to do things that people thought to be impossible.

This matter was not an impossible situation for Jun Hua because she had a few cards on her hand. Seeing that Lin Yuan was genuinely determined, she decided to help her.

"If you do as I say, you're going to be alright."

Lin Yuan eyes lit up as she heard Jun Hua's plans. The plan was simple but outrageous, and could possibly hurt Jun Hua should it fail. Lin Yuan hadn't expected the little girl to be this brave, but if this plan was successful, she could delay her marriage for a longer time while Jun Hua would ask her brother to pick someone suitable for Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan pondered at the plan that Jun Hua proposed. It wasn't that hard, she only needed to keep up the pretense of not knowing anything.

"I will do it. Whatever the result is, thank you very much Jun Hua," Lin Yuan nodded.

Jun Hua smiled then got up and left. She had said everything needed to be said, and there was no need to worry about Chun Maora hearing their plan.

"Xia."

"Yes Miss?"

"Clean up the yard."

"As your wish."

Lin Yuan sat on her bed with a calm expression, while her most trusted servant stayed by her side. She was the only one Jun Hua allowed to stay with her when they were talking about their plans. This servant, named Jin Pun, was completely startled by the plan Jun Hua proposed. In her whole life, that was the first time she met someone who was so courageous to put her own self as the stake.

"Miss, are you sure that you can do it?" Jin Pun asked worriedly.

Lin Yuan nodded. "This plan is for me. If I couldn't do it, they would definitely marry me to such a despicable man. Why should I stay quiet and let them do as they wish? It's better to stake all of it for a better future."

When Lin Yuan's mother returned, Lin Yuan didn't tell her about the plan and merely consoled her a bit. She still needed to meet with that candidate tomorrow so her mother was highly aggrieved. Lin Yuan knew that in order to make the plan successful, she needed to keep everything under wraps. She only told her mother that everything is going to be alright.
