Chapter 782: Why Do You Always Mistake Someone Else for Dai’er?

Xi Jin didn’t blink, even after seeing the emperor and the empress cry. He was exactly like a living corpse.
Xi Lin sat by his bed. She felt heartache and hints of hatred after seeing him in such a state. A Crown Prince actually committed suicide for a lady. If rumors of this incident were to be spread around, not only would the nation’s reputation be ruined, he would even lose his life.
She was really disappointed by his actions. If the lady wasn’t Dai’er, neither her nor her parents could let a woman affect her brother like that.
However, he was her big brother after all. She couldn’t just give up on him.
“I know you are listening to me. Although what I am about to say will not be nice, I will still say it,” Xi Lin said. She looked at Xi Jin, who did not react at all. She then continued, saying, “Do you think that you can love Dai’er just by dying like that? Do you think you can love her in your next life?
“Dai’er has treated you like a big brother this whole time. Your love made her feel grief. You abandoned our parents and the people of Dongshu Nation just to go after her. Do you think Dai’er will forgive you in the netherworld?”
Xi Jin moved his fingers slightly and had no further reaction.
“Besides, why couldn’t you just listen to me? Dai’er didn’t die due to sickness. When I asked you to reflect upon this matter, why did you decide to commit suicide instead of just canceling the wedding? What else can you achieve with that besides making your loved ones feel agony? You, on the other hand, will just die and not see anything that will happen after that.
“However, have you ever thought about our parents? Have you ever thought about me? Have you ever thought about Dai’er, who died a miserable death without knowing the truth? You are not only Xi Jin or Dai’er’s Brother Jin. You are our parents’ son, my big brother, the Crown Prince of Dongshu Nation, and the future emperor,” Xi Lin said.
Xi Jin moved his cracked lips and said in a hoarse voice, “I am sorry.”
They didn’t know how important Dai’er was to him. He, himself, didn’t even know how important she was. He just knew that his world was gloomy without her.
When she saw him apologizing and listening to what she was saying, Xi Lin felt a sense of relief. He could still be saved as long as he listened to her. She was afraid that she might be able to save him once, but not twice.
“Big brother, did you get my point? Dai’er didn’t die from sickness. The corpse buried in Shen Family’s Ancestral Grave isn’t Dai’er.”
After hearing these words, Xi Jin didn’t only move his finger but also turned his head and stared blankly at Xi Lin.
“I told you previously, and I thought that you had listened to me. However, you didn’t. Do you get it this time? Dai’er was killed. Think about it. Dai’er has always been healthy. How did she get critically ill all of a sudden?
“Alright. Even if she died from illness, how did she get critically ill all of a sudden when she had previously been fine? Why was she buried in such a rush without even waiting for you to return to the city? That one day wouldn’t make a difference, right? This is because someone didn’t want you to see her one last time, since you might recognize that the corpse wasn’t her,” Xi Lin explained.
Xi Jin frowned. He had reached Lin’an City on the twelfth. The news of him returning was announced long before that. Dai’er was buried on the eleventh. That one day really wouldn’t have made much of a difference.
“Since you are able to believe what Shen Yunya said, why can’t you just believe what your little sister is saying? Do something, even if it’s just investigating the matter. Don’t make Dai’er die in vain,” Xi Lin urged him.
There was suddenly a hint of life in Xi Jin’s empty gaze. “I think I heard Dai’er’s voice,” he said.
He seemed to be hearing Dai’er calling him ‘Brother Jin’ in his state of confusion.
Xi Lin’s expression changed as she said naturally, “That was Shen Yunya. Big brother, why do you always mistake someone else for Dai’er?”
