Yusui Chang'an

Chapter 26 Midnight tryst
Lin Jinyan had just recovered from an illness, and after several chats she felt really lethargic. She fell asleep not long after lying down, and did not wake up until the evening.

After waking up, she chatted with Zhou Momo for a while, and then it was time for dinner. Lin Jinyan gave Zhou Momo the soup brought by Zhou Yuexue on the pretext that she didn't want to drink soup.

It's not that I'm worried about her being poisoned, I just don't want to drink from her.

After eating, he took a medicated bath made from the medicine bag left by Bai Yiran for two quarters of an hour. Lin Jinyan felt lazily after soaking in it, and fell asleep again as soon as Haishi arrived.

When she woke up again, it was already ugly. The house was quiet. Lin Jinyan subconsciously touched her face and was relieved when there were no scars.

Thinking about what happened during the day: "I still have poor judgment. I can't calm down when I see my grandparents, father and brother, and I almost can't hold back my hatred when I see Zhou Yuexue. How can I keep my relatives safe if this goes on? With such a character, How can we achieve great things? We must endure the unbearable in order to achieve the impossible."

After thinking a lot, Lin Jinyan, who had slept for two nights, felt refreshed and unable to fall asleep.

She slowly opened the curtain and got out of bed, put on her clothes with the help of a weak candlelight, and saw Magnolia sleeping soundly at the door. Lin Jinyan walked out quietly without disturbing her.

Walking into the yard, there were stars in the sky and a moon like a jade plate hanging high in the sky, its silvery white light illuminating the ground.

Lin Jinyan stretched her body, avoiding the nursing staff, strolling at a leisurely pace, and walked to the edge of the pool where she had sunk into the water a few days ago. She found a quick stone next to the rockery and sat down.

I was thinking about how I fell into the water, but I couldn't remember it. I shook my head and gave up.

He placed his chin in his hands and began to think about how he would act next and who he would contact.

When I was lost in thought, suddenly the whispers of a man and a woman came from behind the rockery.Lin Jinyan came to her senses, put her feet back and leaned back, leaning against the rockery quietly to listen.

"Cousin, you asked me out so late. What would you do if you were caught?"

"Sister Xue'er, I haven't seen you these days. I really missed you so much that I asked Lingrong to go find Dong'er. Will Dong'er tell the truth?"

"No, that girl is devoted to me."

"That's good. Sister Xue'er hasn't seen you since we met briefly during the last Mid-Autumn Festival. I heard my mother say that you were kneeling for Jin Yan, and I felt very sad."

"As long as sister Jinyan can be well, I can kneel down, but... I woke up today and went to see my sister. I don't know why she is so different from me. I feel so sad."

"That girl is still young. She must have been frightened when she fell into the water. She will be fine after a couple of days. Don't worry. Not every woman is as well-educated as you."

"My cousin will coax me."

"Xue'er, after the Chinese New Year, I want my mother to tell my grandmother to betroth you to me. In this way, when you marry me when you are pregnant, we can stay together every day, Xue'er."

"Cousin, you must not let your second cousin say that you asked to marry me less than two years after I came to the Lin Mansion when I was still young. What kind of reputation would I have? Do I still want to be a human being?"

"Xue'er, don't be angry. I just want to see you every day."

"You only care about your own happiness and don't consider me at all. It's better not to have any contact with me in the future."

"Sister Xue'er, don't be angry. I won't say anything. I can't afford to wait for three years."

"It's important that you study hard and gain fame. It's better to have less contact with each other in the past two years. Otherwise, if word spreads that I haven't even had my hair yet, I'll give and receive privately with you. How can I live?"

As she spoke, the woman began to cry.
