"My father was wronged! The emperor was friends with my father before he ascended the throne. He knows my father's character best!" Lin Zai said quietly: "But in the end, he didn't trust my father at all. Others said that I My father is treasonous, he didn’t even investigate, he just punished my father!”
Lin Sheng held Lin Zai's hand tightly. Only now did she realize that her sister had such a tragic past.
Lin Zai smiled sadly, "If that thing hadn't happened, I would have thought that the emperor was a very good elder. He hugged me and was so loving to me, but in the end... In short, after my father died, my mother and I were separated. When I was exiled to the frontier, my adoptive father happened to be stationed in the Western Region. He and my father were close friends, so he took special care of us. Before my mother died, she specially entrusted me to my adoptive father and adoptive mother. Sheng'er, do you still remember that scene a long time ago? Is there a riot? There were many fires in the Western City. It was my stepmother who took advantage of the chaos to save me. Since then, Su Qingwan has completely disappeared from this world."
"Sister." Lin Sheng wanted to comfort her, but didn't know how to speak.
No wonder her sister said that she had experienced far more things than she did when they first met her. She didn't think so at the time, but now that she thinks about it, her sister's words were not an exaggeration at all.
"I'm fine. I'm no longer the little girl I was before. I will live well, for my parents, and for everyone who cares about me."
"I will always be with you, sister. No matter what happens, I will be your most important relative."
"Thank you, Sheng'er, do you know why I keep looking at this jade pendant?"
Lin Sheng shook his head.
"This was a gift from the emperor. After the accident, I didn't want to ask for anything he gave me anymore, but my father asked me to keep it well. Sheng'er, you must know that Sun Xun's identity is very unusual, right?"
Lin Sheng nodded.
Yue Rushuang was the consort, and she had met the three princes before. Sun Xun was close to them, so he must not be an ordinary person.
"Sun Xun is the fifth prince who is most favored by the emperor. The jade pendants on my body are a pair, and the other one is in his hand." Lin Zai whispered: "I don't know what the emperor suddenly thought of. He asked the fifth prince to take it. Come looking for me with a jade pendant, and if you can find me, you will take me back to the capital to repay my father for saving his life. But accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger, and I never want to have anything to do with the emperor again."
"I will definitely help you keep this secret, keep the capital and the emperor away from our sisters' lives."
"I am very happy in the Western Region. Even if the Emperor really wants to make up for it, I am not willing to go back."
Lin Sheng hugged her sister, and she choked with sobs: "Well, if I don't go back, here I, Sister Youyin, and General Li are. I don't know how many times better than the capital."
"Silly girl, why are you still crying?"
"I," Lin Sheng quickly wiped away her tears, "I just feel sorry for you! Sister, thank you for trusting me. Don't worry, I will never tell anyone."
"I know. Sheng'er, in fact, when I was injured, the Fifth Prince saw the jade pendant on my body. I told him that it was given to me by someone else. If he asks you, you can't tell clearly."
"good!"
The two of them chatted for a long time. Lin Sheng thought that her sister should rest, so she said she would go back first. Before she left, she did not forget to tell her sister not to think too much.
~~~
Before leaving Li's house, Lin Sheng met Yin Tianxun. She just pretended that she didn't know his identity and talked to him as usual.
"Miss Lin, are you here to see Ah Zai?"
Lin Sheng nodded.
"How does she look now?"
"Why don't you go see it yourself if you're so worried?"
"I go too often, I'm afraid she will annoy me."
"My sister still looks bad. She needs to rest. Please help me keep an eye on her and don't let her move."
Since Sun Xun is the emperor's favorite prince, if he were here, even if the emperor found out his sister's true identity one day, even if he capriciously wanted to accuse his sister again, Sun Xun would definitely protect his sister with all his strength!
"I will." Yin Tianxun promised. He still wanted to ask Lin Sheng something, so he asked: "Miss Lin, do you know who gave the jade pendant that Ah Zai is wearing?"
"You mean the jade pendant that my sister always wears?"
"right."
"I gave it to you, what's wrong?"
Although her sister asked her to tell her that she didn't know clearly, Lin Sheng was afraid that Sun Xun would not give up and would keep investigating, so she secretly made up her mind to answer like this if Sun Xun asked.
"Did you give it to me?" Yin Tianxun was shocked, and he quickly asked: "Miss Lin, where did you get the jade pendant?"
"Is this thing important?"
"Yes, it is very important, so I also ask Miss Lin to tell me the origin of the jade pendant."
"My father was a police officer. He was responsible for guarding the prisoners who were exiled to the Western Region for a while. He was gentle with others. Although they were all guilty people, my father never felt sorry for them. If they had any needs in life, my father would help them. He was eager to help. This jade pendant was given to him by a prisoner whom my father had helped. My father wanted to refuse, but the other prisoner insisted on giving it. In order to reassure the man, he had to accept it. My father saw that the jade pendant was unique. So he gave it to me, and then I gave it to my sister. But my father said that the prisoner had died of illness, but she seemed to have a daughter."
"So that's it." Lin Sheng said in such detail that Yin Tianxun didn't have the slightest doubt. He asked again: "Miss Lin, does your father still have contact with the prisoner's daughter?"
"My father has been killed by thieves."
"That's it." Yin Tianxun said at a loss, "I'm sorry for mentioning your sadness."
"It's okay. It's been so long, and I have accepted the reality. Mr. Sun, do you know that there was a riot in the Western City? I heard from my father that during that riot, all the places where the exiles were held were burned down by fire. Many people were burned to death, and I think the child may no longer be alive."
"But Miss Lin, do you think she will take advantage of the chaos to escape?" Yin Tianxun refused to give up a glimmer of hope.
"I don't know about this. Even if she escapes, where will Tian Da Di Da Da find her? By the way, Mr. Sun, why do you care so much about this matter?" Lin Sheng asked deliberately.
"It's a long story. I was also entrusted by others." Yin Tianxun simply replied.
"In this case, I won't ask any more questions. It's getting late, so I'll go back first."
"Okay, be careful on the road."
~~~
Lin Sheng was so satisfied with his performance just now. He didn't expect that he could lie so naturally. Now the fifth prince should not bother his sister about the jade pendant anymore.
Just when she was secretly proud, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind her.
"Junior sister!"
As if his acupuncture points were tapped, Lin Sheng stood there blankly.
After knowing the truth, she no longer resented Yue Rushuang, but she was not ready to meet her senior brother yet.
But this day will always come. She can't hide from him all the time. What's more, that man avenged her father's murder.
Lin Sheng tried hard to control her emotions. She slowly turned her head and shouted: "Senior brother!"
"You finally recognize me!" Yue Rushuang was ecstatic. He took Lin Sheng's hand and said, "Sheng'er, what happened to you before?"
Lin Sheng took out his hand and pretended to be relaxed and said: "What are you talking about? You disappeared suddenly without even saying anything. How can I not be angry?"
In this way, he shouldn't be able to hear anything strange!
"Is that why you ignored me? Actually."
Yue Rushuang was eager to explain, but Lin Sheng hurriedly interrupted: "I know you want to avenge my father!"
"Yes, Master's revenge must be avenged!"
"Why didn't you tell me and my mother directly?" Lin Sheng's words were vaguely reproachful.
If he told everything clearly, would their ending be different?
"If I tell you, will you and your wife still let me leave?"
"Yeah, of course not!"
"I also want to take care of you and my master's wife, but my master is so kind to me, and I will never let him die in vain!"
No matter how many times he does it, he will make the same choice.
Lin Sheng smiled helplessly. She had too many things to say in her heart, but now she could only say: "Thank you for avenging us!"
"Why should we be strangers to one family!" Yue Rushuang took Lin Sheng's hand, "I hurried back home after killing those bad guys, but you moved away and I couldn't find you. At that time, I was really despairing. , Fortunately God is not particularly cruel to me."
He thought of his late wife, and felt a tenderness in his heart.
Jie Yi, it must be your spirit in heaven that reunites my junior sister and me!
"Yes, thank God for his blessing and allowing you to meet the princess." Lin Sheng hesitated, "Brother, the princess must be beautiful, right?"
"beautiful!"
In Yue Rushuang's heart, Jieyi was the most beautiful girl in the world. Without her, he might have died a long time ago. Even if he was still alive, he would just be like a walking zombie.
"What kind of person is she, princess?"
Lin Sheng was grateful to the princess for saving Yue Rushuang, but at the same time she couldn't help but be jealous of the princess.
"Jie Yi is very kind and gentle. Because of her company, I have regained hope in life."
She should be happy for Yue Rushuang, but she couldn't be happy no matter what.
"Junior sister, let me take care of you and my wife from now on, okay?"
"No!" Lin Sheng refused immediately without thinking.
"Why? We finally met again, and I promised Master that I will take good care of you."
"I'm not a child anymore. I have the ability to take good care of my mother. You don't have to worry."
"But!"
"It's nothing!" Lin Sheng let go of Yue Rushuang's hand again, "Brother, don't you understand? The past is the past, and the present is the present!"
"But no matter now or in the past, you are my most important relative, and this will never change!" Yue Rushuang said stubbornly.
Lin Sheng felt bitter in her heart. Her wish was to be Yue Rushuang's wife, not a relative. Did he really not understand her feelings at all?
Lin Sheng wanted to know if Yue Rushuang really liked her, but now, she no longer dared to have any extravagant hopes.
"Can I see the master's wife?" Yue Rushuang asked carefully.
"no!"
"Why?"
Yue Rushuang really didn't understand why the junior sister was still trying to stop her now that all the misunderstandings had been resolved.
"My mother's health is not as good as before. She finally got over the painful memories of the past. If my mother sees you again, she will definitely recall the past. I don't want my mother to think too much, which is not good for her health. .”
"I can wait!"
There are some things that cannot be rushed. He will use actions to make up for the regrets of so many years.
One day, his junior sister and master's wife will definitely be willing to accept his care.
"Senior brother, I have something else to do, so I won't talk anymore."
"Okay," Yue Rushuang didn't dare to force it. He was afraid of causing Lin Sheng's resentment. "Can we still see each other often?"
"I have grown up and have my own life, but I don't have time to play around every day like before, but if I have time, we will definitely meet again." Lin Sheng said politely.
"Then can I go find you?"
"I'm afraid not. I'm a doctor and I'm very busy every day. Even if you go to see me, I might not be able to spare time to see you. Anyway, I will come to you if I have time!"
"Okay." Yue Rushuang felt disappointed, but pretended to be fine.
Why are they like this?
~~~
Lin Sheng walked back to the hospital so restlessly that he didn't notice Liu Shaopu walking towards him.
"What are you thinking about?"
Lin Sheng was startled, and she glared at Liu Shaopu fiercely, "Why are you still here?"
"That's not what you said." Liu Shaopu felt extremely aggrieved.
"What did I say?"
"You were in a hurry to go out, but you hit my head at the door. I asked you to see if I was okay. You said you have business to do now, and you can wait until you come back to talk about anything else!" Liu Shaopu was like a child at this moment.
Lin Sheng didn't know what to say to him, "Just because of this, why did you wait until now?"
"Otherwise? Could it be that you still want to deny it?"
"You've waited until now, how can I have the nerve to deny it again!" Lin Sheng said with a mixture of laughter and laughter.
"That's good. By the way, is Miss Lin okay?"
"It's okay, but you still need to have a good rest."
"Well, don't worry too much! Quack, please quickly check if my head is swollen?"
Lin Sheng glanced at it and said, "It's swollen somewhere, but there's nothing wrong with it."
"You're talking nonsense!" Liu Shaopu took Lin Sheng's hand and asked her to touch his head, "Look, is there a bulge here?"
Lin Sheng couldn't help but roll his eyes.
It's really hypocritical. It's clear that nothing happened, is there any need to make such a fuss?
But how did she know that Liu Shaopu was acting coquettishly with her on purpose.
"You're really fine, don't worry about it."
"Huh, I don't believe it. You were the one who caused the accident. Of course you won't admit it."
Lin Sheng couldn't help but hit Liu Shaopu on the head, and now he screamed even more. Lin Sheng couldn't help it, so she begged: "This is a medical clinic, not your home, please stop making trouble."
"I don't care. Anyway, you hurt me on purpose. You have to be responsible for me. Otherwise, I will yell no matter where you are. If you feel embarrassed, just promise me one thing."
If there weren't so many people watching, Lin Sheng would have given Liu Shaopu a severe beating.
"Say it quickly."
"It's very simple. From now on, you can't refuse me wherever I ask you to accompany me." The smile in Liu Shaopu's eyes became even stronger.
"Don't push yourself too far." Lin Sheng said through gritted teeth.
"You can figure it out yourself."
No matter what, Lin Sheng had no choice but to compromise in the end. Who made Liu Shaopu too thick-skinned? She couldn't compete with him.
"In that moment, before you go home, please accompany me for a walk on the street. You can't refuse, do you hear me?"
"good!"
Just take a stroll, since she won't talk anyway, so just leave him alone to talk to himself.
Lin Sheng didn't realize that Liu Shaopu would appear in time every time she was in a bad mood. In the process of arguing with him, all the unhappiness began to dissipate little by little.
