"Sister, can I go in?"
When Wu Yin heard Minglan's voice, she hurried over and opened the door.
"Sister, you are so beautiful today!"
Wu Yin smiled sheepishly, "I'm going out with Mr. Jin today, so I dressed up."
A flash of jealousy flashed in Minglan's eyes. Although she was working for the Ninth Prince, the prince was lukewarm towards her, and unless there were special circumstances, it would be difficult to meet him on weekdays.
"Sister, you are so lucky."
Wu Yin sighed, "I don't know if this luck will always favor me."
Minglan really hates Wu Yin being like this. In comparison, she is the one who is not favored!
"Yin'er, I'm coming!"
"Sister, let me open the door for you."
He Lianxuan did not expect to see Minglan, so he asked lightly: "Miss Minglan is here too?"
"I came to see my sister, and I didn't know you were coming too. What a coincidence."
He Lianxuan smiled half-heartedly and said, "What a coincidence. It's a pity that I have to go out with Yin'er. Miss Minglan should be fine, right?"
Minglan responded with a smile: "I just came to talk to my sister. Since you are going out, I won't disturb you."
After saying that, Minglan turned to look at Wu Yin, "Sister, I'm going back first. I wish you have a good time."
"Well, I'll find you when I get back."
She had become closer to Minglan in the past few days. She thought she would never meet a true sister in this "prison", but it seemed that she was too narrow-minded.
After Minglan left, He Lianxuan asked seemingly casually: "Do you have a good relationship?"
Wu Yin nodded, "I didn't have much contact with Lan'er before. I just thought she was not easy to get close to, but after getting along with her, I found that she is really nice. Lan'er is just afraid of getting hurt, so she is pretending to be indifferent."
He Lianxuan disagreed. He knew that Minglan was not as simple as Wu Yin said.
She is just too gullible.
"Having said that, you still have to be on guard against others."
Mr. Jin thought too much, but Wu Yin still felt warm in his heart.
"Okay, let's go." He Lianxuan touched Wu Yin's head.
Wu Yin rarely walked around the streets. He Lianxuan had mentioned this before, but she always found excuses to refuse. In the end, he kept asking for a long time before finally knowing her concerns.
Wu Yin felt that she came from a brothel, and if she appeared openly with Mr. Jin on the street, she would inevitably be criticized by others, which would not matter to her, but Wu Yin did not want Mr. Jin to be looked down upon.
He Lianxuan was deeply touched. It was difficult for him to trust someone, so there were not many people he truly trusted.
But Wu Yin allowed him to let go of his guard little by little. Unfortunately, this relationship was not pure, and it was mixed with too many lies.
~~~
Liu Yao was in a good mood today. He took Chen Fei out for a walk. Unexpectedly, he saw Wu Yin walking with a strange man, talking and laughing.
I remember that he once showed his kindness to Wu Yin, but did not receive any response. Later, after listening to his father's words, he turned to pursue Lin Zai. Although Lin Zai was more suitable for him in all aspects, what he didn't get was always in his heart. pimple.
So when he saw Wu Yin being affectionate with other men, he couldn't swallow it no matter what.
"Miss Wu Yin actually had the leisure to go out for fun today. If I remember correctly, I seem to have invited you many times, but you rejected them all with various reasons." Liu Yao walked over and said in a strange tone.
When Wu Yin heard the voice, he immediately became nervous.
Mr. Liu is not someone to be trifled with, and Wu Yin just wants to say a few words so that he can leave quickly.
He Lianxuan noticed that Wu Yin secretly pulled him, but he did not respond. He just looked at the two people in front of him with interest.
Chen Fei didn't expect to meet He Lianxuan, but he quickly calmed down.
Because of his superb martial arts skills, Chen Fei specially became a bodyguard of the Liu family, secretly providing information to the Rong Kingdom in the name of protecting Liu Yao.
"Mr. Liu, we still have something to do, so let's not talk anymore." Wu Yin said urgently.
"Don't leave in such a hurry." Liu Yao grabbed Wu Yin and said with ill intentions.
"People say something is wrong, but you still mess around. Isn't that bad?" He Lianxuan immediately protected Wu Yin.
Liu Yao glanced at He Lianxuan and said with disdain: "Who do you think you are? I haven't settled the score with you yet, but you came over first. Well, Chen Fei, teach him a lesson."
"yes!"
Chen Fei thought that he would be done with a few simple blows, which would make it easier for him to do business, so he did not pull out the scabbard.
He Lianxuan was very calm. He asked Wu Yin to stay away from him. In order not to arouse suspicion, he was ready to be beaten.
Although he did not expect this kind of thing to happen, if you think about it carefully, it will bring a lot of benefits. Firstly, he was taught a lesson by Liu Yao to protect Wu Yin, so that Wu Yin would trust him more. In addition, this matter must It will reach Lin Zai's ears, and then her doubts and scruples about herself will be reduced.
Unexpectedly, Wu Yin rushed over regardless. She hugged He Lianxuan tightly and helped him block Chen Fei's attack.
Wu Yin couldn't bear this, but she still tried hard to endure the pain from her back.
She can also protect her loved ones.
Seeing Wu Yin like this, Liu Yao became even more angry.
Not only was she ignorant of good and evil, but she even risked her own life to protect that man.
Okay, since you like to show off your strength so much, then as you wish.
"Why did you stop?" Liu Yao shouted to Chen Fei.
"Master, Miss Wu Yin is Miss Lin's friend. If we go too far, Miss Lin will not be happy. I'm afraid..." Chen Fei lowered his head and said.
These words reminded Liu Yao that these two people had learned a lesson anyway, and he felt a little better.
Seeing that the other party stopped, Wu Yin finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She looked at Mr. Jin and smiled with satisfaction.
Fortunately, he is fine!
The pain in her body made Wu Yin unable to hold on any longer. She slipped to the ground, and Mr. Jin knelt on the ground with her.
Liu Yao stared at them, not feeling ashamed at all for his behavior.
"For Miss Lin's sake, I will spare you. Chen Fei, let's go."
~~~
The spectators gradually dispersed, and soon only He Lianxuan and Wu Yin were left.
"Why are you so stupid?" He Lianxuan hugged Wu Yin tightly and scolded in a low voice.
"Because the young master is good to me." Wu Yin said weakly.
He Lianxuan looked at Wu Yin, his eyes filled with distress, "Let's go back."
The warmth he had always expected was finally felt in the person in his arms.
~~~
"Go and call the doctor quickly." He Lianxuan shouted to Ran You.
"yes."
Ran You was waiting for the Lord at the entrance of Li Chun Courtyard. Not long after, she saw him running towards Wu Yin in his arms. She also followed him in a hurry. This was the first time she saw the Lord in such a hurry.
After reading it, the doctor said that Wu Yin was not seriously ill and only suffered some skin injuries. The Lord felt relieved and then told himself what happened.
It turned out that she was injured because of the Lord.
Ran You didn't hate Wu Yin, she was just worried that the Lord would miss business because of Wu Yin.
The previous master had no weaknesses, but now Ran You is not sure.
Once a person has a weakness, it is easy for others to take advantage of it.
Even so, Ran You didn't want anything to happen to Wu Yin, so when the doctor said it was nothing serious, she felt much more relaxed.
The news of Wu Yin's injury soon spread throughout Lichun Court, and Minglan naturally heard about it too.
She thought about it and decided to go visit first.
She knocked on the door a few times and soon heard the voice of the Ninth Prince.
"who?"
"It's me. I heard that my sister was injured. Mr. Jin, is she okay?"
The Ninth Prince came to open the door, but he obviously had no intention of letting Minglan in.
"It's nothing serious. Yin'er has already rested. You can go back first."
"It's okay. If you need help, just call me."
Minglan pretended to be sensible, but in fact, her heart had long been hurt by He Lianxuan's nervous eyes.
He Lianxuan slowly closed the door. Although the doctor had already seen it, he still couldn't feel relieved. After all, Wu Yin was too thin, and besides, she was injured to protect herself.
He slowly walked to the bed and looked at the person on the bed, his eyes becoming gentle.
Fortunately, it's okay.
He Lianxuan gently touched Wu Yin's face and remembered the scene just now.
He didn't expect this little person to have so much power, and he could still feel how hard she hugged him.
He Lianxuan felt that his hands suddenly became warm.
It turns out that Wu Yin woke up.
"Did I disturb you?" He Lianxuan asked in a low voice.
"No," Wu Yin shook his head, "Actually, I'm fine. You don't have to worry."
"How can I not be worried? I can't even protect you, and I want you to get hurt for me. I'm so useless."
When Wu Yin heard this, she immediately sat up. Maybe she got up too quickly, and her back began to hurt again. She frowned subconsciously.
"What's wrong?" He Lianxuan asked hurriedly.
"I'm fine, don't be nervous." Wu Yin forced a smile, "Master, you are so good to me, how could I let you get hurt! I have nothing and don't know how to repay you, but I will try my best I protect you voluntarily, and you must not blame yourself. Do you know, if I had stayed far away and done nothing, I would have lived with guilt for the rest of my life and would never have forgiven myself. .”
"You are so stupid." He Lianxuan was moved in his heart, "You said you were not willing to let me get hurt, how could I bear to see you get hurt? You said you would do your best to protect me, and I am the same, Yin'er, I will definitely do it in the future I will protect you and won’t let you get hurt in the slightest again, you trust me.”
I wanted to hold back, but the tears still flowed down.
He Lianxuan gently wiped Wu Yin's tears, and he began to feel sorry for this simple and silly girl from the bottom of his heart.
After a long time, Wu Yin said softly: "I believe you."
Maybe she can really get the happiness she has been waiting for.
~~~
Minglan didn't go far. When she saw Ran You, she hurriedly grabbed her: "Miss Aran, I have something to tell you."
Ran You received the secret signal and hurried back to Lichun Court after finishing the work. Unexpectedly, she ran into Minglan.
Normally she would not pay attention at all, but Minglan knew their secret, so Ran You did not refuse.
"Miss Aran, do you like the Ninth Prince?" Minglan led Ranyou to a hidden corner and asked in a low voice.
Ran You didn't answer.
"I like the Ninth Prince, and I believe that the girl also has feelings for the Ninth Prince." Seeing that Ran You didn't speak, Minglan continued: "I know that the Ninth Prince is taking advantage of Wu Yin, but who can be sure that there is no true love in this? Miss Aran really doesn’t care at all?”
"Is this what you want to tell me?"
"Okay, since the girl doesn't want to listen, I won't say anything, but please tell me, how did Wu Yin get injured?"
She had to figure this out.
"Someone wanted to hit the Lord. In order to prevent the Lord from getting hurt, Miss Wu Yin used her body to protect the Lord." Ran You replied calmly.
"What? How could she?"
Ran You frowned, "You know everything you want to know, so I'll leave first."
"No, you can't leave." Minglan grabbed Ran You like crazy, "How could you let her do this? This will only make the Ninth Prince feel more guilty. Aren't you afraid of destroying your master because of her?"
Minglan tried hard to convince herself that the Ninth Prince didn't like Wu Yin at all, but how could she not feel that Wu Yin was indeed special to He Lianxuan!
She would rather be injured to protect the Ninth Prince. Anyone else would be moved, not to mention that the Ninth Prince is not heartless towards Wu Yin.
Why can't she get rid of Wu Yin and always have to live under her light?
She was really unwilling.
Ran You didn't know what Minglan was thinking. She had also worried about the concerns she mentioned, but she would not and did not bother to use any means to do so.
Ran You believed in her choice and believed that the Lord would not give up her ambition for anyone.
To the Lord, to her, the country was always the most important.
"Miss Minglan, Your Majesty is not someone who gets emotional easily. If he is really emotional, it is because Miss Wu Yin is worthy of his sincerity. I respect Your Majesty's choice, and I will not interfere in his life."
"Are you really afraid that the Ninth Prince will ruin his future because of a woman? Everything should be nipped in the bud. It will be too late to regret it when it cannot be changed."
"Although I don't have much contact with Miss Wu Yin, I can feel that she is a good person. Only by giving sincerity can you gain true love. Miss Minglan, you will not gain true love just by being jealous and trying to destroy her."
"Sincerity?" Minglan sneered, "Miss Aran, it's not that I don't have sincerity, but unfortunately my sincerity has long been ruined by those false feelings and this dirty world."
After a few words, Minglan no longer expected to get any help from Ran You, but she would never change her mind just because of Ran You's words.
It's all a joke that you have to give your sincerity in order to gain true love!
All she knows is that sometimes you have to do whatever it takes to achieve your goals.
~~~
He Lianxuan heard footsteps and knew that Ran You was back.
"Yin'er, it's time to apply ointment."
"Wait a minute, just put the medicine on the table."
"Do you want me to help you?" He Lianxuan guessed Wu Yin's thoughts and deliberately teased.
Wu Yin suddenly blushed, "No, I can do it myself."
He Lianxuan couldn't help but laugh, "Let Aran help you. I just want to go outside for a walk."
"good."
He Lianxuan opened the door and ordered, "Go help Yin'er apply the medicine."
"yes."
In the blink of an eye, Ran You handed He Lianxuan a note, so fast that Wu Yin could not detect it.
"I'll go out for a while." He Lianxuan said calmly, as if nothing happened just now.
~~~
Ran You didn't expect Wu Yin to be able to withstand this.
Suddenly hearing Wu Yin moan, she hurriedly asked: "Does it hurt you?"
"No, don't worry." Wu Yin quickly replied.
It turns out that this person also likes to show off his strength, Ran You thought secretly in his heart.
"One day I was standing there," Wu Yin pointed to the window, "I happened to see you helping a little boy who was begging for food. You were so gentle to him, and I was really touched. Before, I always thought you were cold. A human touch.”
Wu Yin has always wanted to find a chance to talk to Aran, and now that they are just the two of them, she can just talk about what's on her mind.
"I can't remember clearly."
Ran You's expression did not change and she continued to help Wu Yin apply the medicine.
"Really?" Wu Yin was not disappointed. "I have a younger brother. His name is Che'er. He is about the same age as that boy. I haven't seen him for a long time. I also have a grandmother who lives with Che'er. .My parents died early, and it was my grandma who worked hard to raise my brother and me. Unfortunately, I can’t accompany them. Grandma is old, and Che’er is in poor health. I’m really worried about them.”
Wu Yin is most worried about them, and misses them the most!
Although she didn't know why Wu Yin said this, Ran You still listened patiently.
"My family is poor, and grandma and Che'er have suffered too much. I don't have any ability. In order to prevent them from being poor and hungry, I can only think of selling myself. Fortunately, I am relatively lucky. With the reputation I have gained in the past few years, After saving some savings, grandma and Che'er are living better than before, and I finally feel relieved. But Aran, the brothel is just a prison, and even if I have the chance to get out in the future, I can't completely erase my past."
"Do you regret it?" Ran You suddenly asked.
Wu Yin shook her head, "I don't regret it. As long as grandma and Che'er live well, I don't care what happens."
Wu Yin had been thinking about what she had discussed with Minglan before. She asked softly: "Aran, do you like Mr. Jin?"
Two people actually asked me the same question today!
So what if you like it? The Lord doesn't like her, and she has already put aside her children's personal relationship, and only wants to follow the Lord to make the Rong Kingdom stronger.
"The medicine is applied." Ran You still didn't answer. She helped Wu Yin get dressed, "I'll leave first if there's nothing else."
"Wait!" Wu Yin held Aran's hand, "Don't get me wrong, I don't mean anything else. I just think it's great to have you accompanying Mr. Jin."
Ran You didn't know what she wanted to say.
"It's not that I underestimate myself, but I am a brothel girl after all! I like Mr. Jin, very much, but I may not always be with him, and I don't want to affect his future because of my identity. He even makes me feel uncomfortable. Mr. Jin is so good, I really am not worthy of him. Although my friends advise me not to care about this, how can I not think about these practical problems. In fact, I still have extravagant hopes. , but if the reality is not perfect, I hope you can take care of him and protect him with my feelings. It is happy to be together, but if there is no fate, as long as he lives well, I will be very satisfied."
Ran You was deeply touched!
In fact, they are really similar in some aspects!
Isn't it the same for her? Although she loves the Lord, she just needs to silently protect him and see that he gets what he wants!
"After seeing that scene, I really want to get close to you. Aran, do you have a younger brother or younger sister?"
Ran You shook his head.
She has no brothers or sisters, but when she was in her hometown, she had many innocent children and many close friends. They chatted together every day, and they had no idea how happy they were.
It's just that that simple and happy life didn't last long. The tragedies gradually hardened her heart. While she became stronger little by little, she had already given up on the carefree and pure life she once had.
"You should love children very much! I saw the light in you that day, it was really dazzling and beautiful. Maybe I am too talkative, I really talked too much today, but I still hope you can smile more and be happy If you are willing, I really want to be friends with you."
Maybe Wu Yin really has a kind of magic power that makes people willing to put down their guard and get close to him.
It's a pity that she doesn't have this blessing. She can no longer be dominated by any emotional influence in her life.
"Thank you for your love, girl. Aran has something else to do, so I'll leave first."
"That's all, some things can't be forced." After Aran left, Wu Yin sat alone on the bed and muttered to himself.
~~~
When Ran You went out, he saw He Lianxuan leaning not far away.
Before she could speak, the Lord made a gesture telling her to be silent.
He heard everything Wu Yin said.
He Lianxuan leaned against the wall and couldn't calm down for a long time.
