On the second day after Chen Qingwan was taken away by the Ninth Prince, General Lin issued a confinement order to Lin Sishen, decriminating her that she would not be allowed to step out of the mansion for half a month and stay in the mansion and think about her life.
General Lin was in good condition and spread rumors everywhere. Lin Sishen only lived for two days and never left the house. In addition to staying in the study room to read books, she went to the school to practice qigong. In addition, she occasionally went to Liuguang Pavilion alone and took a look around.
On the surface, Lin Sishen did nothing, but in fact she has been secretly communicating with Luowang and telling all the big and small things that have happened in the capital recently.
What she noticed the most was Chen Qingwan's movements.
As Chen Qingwan expected, the second night after she left the general's mansion, the emperor did secretly summon her and left her to stay in the palace that night. It was not until the morning of the next day that he hurried back to the palace and there was no movement afterwards.
The secret letter from his subordinates also mentioned that in recent years, the emperor would summon Chen Qingwan every half month, and every time he summoned Chen Qingwan, he would be at night, and he would still be left to stay in the palace for one night. During this period, the emperor would send off the eunuchs and palace maids and stay alone with Shen Qingwan for an hour.
During this hour, no one was accompanied by a deaf and mute and illiterate eunuch. In other words, no one knew the content of the conversation between the emperor and Shen Qingwan except them.
Lin Sishen vaguely felt that there must be something strange about it. Even if Chen Qingwan was the emperor's niece, logically speaking, even in order to avoid suspicion, the emperor should not summon Chen Qingwan late at night, not to mention that he even shut down everyone away, leaving only a small eunuch who could not hear or even read big words to accompany him.
Lin Sishen naturally didn't think about it. She just remembered that Chen Qingwan seemed to have mentioned to her that she had reached some kind of agreement with the emperor in private. Not only could she protect Lin Sishen, she was also sure that the emperor would never touch her easily.
But when Lin Sishen wanted to investigate what agreement she had with the emperor, Chen Qingwan seemed to be interested in pulling the topic away and didn't want to continue talking about it.
There must be some secret hidden in this.
In the small building of the General's Mansion, Lin Sishen was standing alone in front of the study window, thinking secretly in a daze. Suddenly, the sound of knocking outside the door came, and then Mo Zhu's voice came, completely interrupting Lin Sishen's thoughts.
She came to her senses and frowned slightly, and had no choice but to walk to the stove and sit down, and slowly spoke, "Come in."
Mo Zhu pushed the door and carried the medicine soup that had just been boiled: "Young master, it's time to take medicine."
Lin Sishen did not hesitate at all and reached out to take the medicine bowl. However, as soon as his hand touched it, the hot bowl edge was retracted back and took a breath of cold air.
Seeing this, Mo Zhu hurriedly placed the tray aside, grabbed Lin Sishen's hand and said anxiously: "Young Master, are you okay?"
When he saw that Lin Sishen's fingertips were burned red, Mo Zhu bit his lip and blamed himself: "It's all because of the carelessness of the servant, who almost burned the young master."
Lin Sishen frowned and shook his head. He was about to speak, but he accidentally caught a glimpse of Mo Zhu's fingers on his fingers. There were a few red blisters that were permed.
She stared at Mo Zhu in surprise, grabbed Mo Zhu's wrist with her backhand, pointed to the bubbles on her fingertips and asked, "Mo Zhu, what's going on?"
Mo Zhu stared at his hand in a daze, and then he realized that he was burned: "This...it must have been accidentally burned when I just boiled the medicine, it doesn't matter..."
Lin Sishen shook his head when he heard this, stood up quickly, pulled Mo Zhu and walked to the door, pressed her hand in the cold water in the copper basin, and said in a deep voice: "It's not a big deal, don't you feel the pain? You are cautious on weekdays and have never made any mistakes, but why have you been so careless in the past two days, and you haven't noticed it even if you hurt yourself."
It seems that Mo Zhu is a bit strange these two days. She has always been cautious, but she has made frequent mistakes in the past two days. It’s okay to make tea with cold water yesterday, but she also smashed several pots of orchids she cared for. Today, she was burned by boiling medicine, and she didn’t even notice it.
After being scolded by Lin Sishen for a few words, Mo Zhu lowered her head and didn't speak anymore. She just stared at the hands that overlapped under the rippling water waves in the copper basin.
Lin Sishen observed her for a long time, and his tone softened: "Mo Zhu, if you have any worries, why don't you tell me?"
Mo Zhu pursed her lips when she heard this, her eyes flashed and looked up at Lin Sishen, and she wanted to speak, "Young Master, I..."
Lin Sishen looked at her calmly and snorted: "Hmm?"
Looking at the worry and concern flashing in Lin Sishen's eyes, Mo Zhu suddenly lowered her eyes and smiled bitterly, and whispered: "I'm fine, you don't have to worry about me."
Seeing that she was still hiding something, Lin Sishen frowned and asked, "Mo Zhu, you..."
Mo Zhu quickly pulled away the hand that Lin Sishen pressed in the water, and the splashed water droplets fell on her green skirt. She shook her head while taking two steps back, hid her hands behind her, and forced a smile on her face, interrupting Lin Sishen's words: "I'm really fine, you don't have to ask anymore."
Lin Sishen sighed helplessly and looked at her and said softly: "If you really don't want to speak, I won't force you, but I just want you to know that no matter what happens, if I am here, I will definitely not tolerate others bullying you at all."
Mo Zhu clenched his hands behind her tightly, and the blisters on her fingertips were squeezed hard, and the piercing pain made her nose a little sore. She lowered her head and murmured softly: "I have always known that the young master treats me well."
Lin Sishen shook his head, stepped forward and raised his hand to touch her head, and smiled and said, "You silly girl, you always do something like this with me. If you don't say anything else, let me bandage the wound on your hand first."
Without Mo Zhu's refusal, Lin Sishen pulled Mo Zhu to the stove and rummaged through boxes and cabinets in the study for a long time but couldn't find the silver needle. It was only after Mo Zhu's reminder that she went to the next room to find it.
Lin Sishen planned to pick the broken water and apply medicine for Mo Zhu, but Mo Zhu was a little resistant and was unwilling to extend her hand. Lin Sishen had no choice but to force her to stretch out her hand and press it on her knees.
Lin Sishen sat beside Mo Zhu, leaned over and carefully picked the blisters on her fingertips, wiped them clean with an embroidered handkerchief, and applied ointment, and said with a smile: "I used to be asking you to take care of me, but in fact, I think you are two years younger than me, so I should give me a chance to take good care of you."
Mo Zhu looked at Lin Sishen without saying a word, with unbearable sadness on her clear face. She didn't know how to tell Lin Sishen that her aunt actually planned to take her away after the general's mansion survived the disaster.
The aunt originally planned to tell Lin Sishen personally, but Mo Zhu stopped her and said she wanted to tell Lin Sishen about this matter, but she hesitated for the past two days and never spoke.
Although Xi Qian picked up Mo Zhu back at the beginning, Mo Zhu grew up in the General's Mansion. Not only Lin Sishen, but also the General and his wife treated her as her own son. The old lady had long regarded her as her own granddaughter, and she also regarded the General's Mansion as her own home.
Even though Mo Zhu was reluctant to leave, Xi Qian saw Mo Zhu's thoughts towards Lin Sishen and knew that Mo Zhu would only suffer more and more day by day, so she was tough and said that when she left, she would definitely take Mo Zhu away.
What's more, Xi Qian had long felt that Mo Zhu was talented. She had a lot of attainments in medical skills and could spend time studying. She shouldn't just be a maid in the general's mansion.
Mo Zhu could not disobey Xi Qian's decision, but she grew up with Lin Sishen. She had long been used to taking care of Lin Sishen. Now, even if she thought about it, she would not see Lin Sishen every day in the future, she felt like a knife was twisted.
Lin Sishen carefully bandaged Mo Zhu's hands, then he breathed a sigh of relief and said softly: "You have to be careful in the future, and you don't have to do some things yourself."
After saying that, Lin Sishen looked up, but saw Mo Zhu staring at her. Her beautiful apricot eyes were already filled with mist, gradually gathering together, turning into drops of crystal tears, and silently slid from her eyes.
When Lin Sishen saw Mo Zhu crying, she was a little panicked. She had never seen Mo Zhu cry in front of her. She felt both distressed and confused, and hurriedly asked: "Mo Zhu, what's wrong with you? But what happened? Could it be that someone really bullied you?"
"Young Master."
Looking at Lin Sishen's concerned and panic look, Mo Zhu's heart felt even more sour.
Lin Sishen's expression changed slightly when she heard this. She seemed to have noticed it. She looked at Mo Zhu's expression seriously and asked softly: "Why are you talking about this?"
Mo Zhu lowered her eyes and pursed her lips. She raised her sleeves and wiped her red eyes, and plucked up the courage to ask: "If Mo Zhu left the young master one day, I don't know that at that time, the young master would blame Mo Zhu."
Lin Sishen sighed with a complicated expression and said softly: "You are my personal maid in the past few years, but I have long regarded you as my own sister in private. Even if you are a blood relative, you will always have a day to go your separate ways. How could I blame you?"
Mo Zhu shook her head when she heard this. She looked at Lin Sishen and said word by word: "If Mo Zhu really left the young master, will the young master feel reluctant to leave?"
Lin Sishen breathed a sigh of relief, raised his hand and patted her shoulder, curled his lips and said softly, "Mo Zhu, I am really happy in my heart if you can think of these things. What I fear most is not that you leave, but that you don't want to leave. You are not my vassal, and you should not be by my side and waste your life. You should see the world outside, and you should also try your own."
After saying that, Lin Sishen stared at Mo Zhu's eyes with recognizable words: "I will be reluctant to leave if you leave for many years, but you must remember that no matter you go to the ends of the world, you are the thought in my heart. I will look forward to reunion with you when I meet you again, listen to you and tell you what you have experienced, and meet the close friends you have made."
