"Okay, stop talking." Lin Xiao waved her hand and interrupted her, "Since you have heard everything clearly, you can just do it yourself!"
After that, he turned around and left.
Han Ruoshui knelt down with a plop and grabbed Lin Xiao's trousers:
"Master...cousin, cousin, I was wrong, I was wrong, please forgive me! Please, please forgive me, I really know I was wrong."
Lin Xiao lowered his head and looked at the girl in front of him. She was kneeling on the ground crying, her big watery eyes full of prayer and sorrow.
This expression is so different from the image she showed before.
Lin Xiao couldn't help but shook his head. Is this still the unruly, willful, arrogant and domineering cousin in his impression?
"Han Ruoshui" Lin Xiao sighed and stretched out his right hand to help her up from the ground, "I know very well what kind of person you are, so you don't have to pretend here. If I were you, I would take the money.
The money in the bag is gone happily!"
Don't be suspicious when you employ people, don't use people when you are suspicious.
Since you don't trust yourself, it would be a disaster to keep such a person by your side.
"Cousin, I don't dare anymore!"
Han Ruoshui looked at Lin Xiao with tearful eyes and said pitifully:
"Cousin, I know I was wrong. Cousin, please forgive me. I will do whatever you ask me to do from now on."
While speaking, Han Ruoshui kowtowed his head violently, banging loudly.
Seeing this, Lin Xiao felt a little moved, but she quickly suppressed it.
This girl is indeed pitiful, but poor people must be hateful.
"I know I was wrong, please forgive me, cousin. Please forgive me, cousin."
Han Ruoshui's forehead had been bruised, and blood was flowing down his cheek.
Lan Lian, who was standing aside, couldn't bear to look any further and quickly begged Lin Xiao for her:
"Head of the family, Miss Ruoshui has already realized her mistake. How about... just forgive her this time!"
Lin Xiao frowned and felt entangled in her heart. After all, she couldn't bear to see her continue to kowtow on the ground, so she quickly raised her hand to stop her:
"Stop! Stop!"
Han Ruoshui quickly stopped kowtowing and looked at Lin Xiao with wide eyes.
"You should get up first. If you have anything to say, let's talk slowly."
"Cousin, have you forgiven Ruoshui?"
Han Ruoshui asked excitedly, staring at Lin Xiao's face with a pair of beautiful eyes.
When Zhao Qian saw Lin Xiao's embarrassed face, he decided to be the bad guy.
He took a step forward and said coldly to Han Ruoshui:
"If we don't even have the most basic trust, how can we still be considered a family?"
Zhao Qian's words stunned Han Ruoshui, and her face instantly turned pale. She looked at Lin Xiao in disbelief, and said with trembling lips:
"Cousin, you...we are a family!"
Lin Xiao shook his head helplessly:
"Ruoshui, I won't divorce you, so you won't have to be forced to marry again in the future; it's just that you really shouldn't stay with me, so you should just use the money to find your own place!"
Lin Xiao is not a saint, but he is not a hard-hearted person either.
The reason why she was so determined to drive Han Ruoshui away was because the village chief told her that Han Ruoshui had betrayed her to Capt. Yang and the others.
At that time, Lin Xiao felt as sick as if she had eaten a bite of a fly.
It is really dangerous to keep someone who is ready to rebel at any time by your side!
"Cousin, don't rush Ruoshui away!"
When Han Ruoshui saw that Lin Xiao was really trying to drive him away, he immediately grabbed the corner of her clothes in a panic.
"If you keep stalking me like this, I won't give you a single copper!"
Lin Xiao shook her hand off cruelly and snorted coldly.
"Cousin, please, please don't drive Ruoshui away, Ruoshui really knows that he was wrong. Wuwu"
Han Ruoshui cried so sadly, her eyes were forlorn, and she looked like pear blossoms with rain, which made me feel pity for her.
"Ruoshui. I really can't keep you by my side anymore, please!"
Lin Xiao took out another small ingot of silver, stuffed it into the money bag, and handed it to Han Ruoshui.
Han Ruoshui hesitated for a while, then finally took the silver, then picked up the baggage on the ground and turned around silently to leave.
When Han Ruoshui disappeared from sight, Lin Xiao breathed a sigh of relief.
"The head of the family, Miss Ruoshui..."
Lan Lian looked at Han Ruoshui's lonely figure and couldn't bear to say.
"Lan Lian, you are so kind-hearted! You will have to count the money for others if you are sold!"
Lin Xiao shook his head and said helplessly.
She didn't know what to say, maybe even Lan Lian wouldn't understand it!
"Lan Lian, go prepare some drinks and dishes. I want to entertain my savior, Mr. Zhao!"
"Yeah! I'll get ready right now!"
Hearing that Zhao Qian was Lin Xiao's savior, Lan Lian couldn't help but look at him a few more times, her eyes filled with gratitude.
Han Ruoshui, who went out with a baggage on his back, did not go far, but sat down not far from Lin Xiao's house and burst into tears.
She really didn't understand why Lin Xiao was so cruel to her. Is it just because she didn't trust Lin Xiao that she had to treat herself like this?
The more Han Ruoshui thought about it, the angrier she became. She wiped the tears from her face with her sleeves, looked in the direction of Lin Xiao's house unwillingly, and said resentfully:
"Lin Xiao, you bastard! When I find a backer, I will make you pay a heavy price!"
…
Kyushu Villa.
Yu Xilin learned from Li Yuyan that Lin Xiao had been acquitted, and was as happy as a child with a smile on her face:
"Although I don't like you, you are still useful at critical moments. Tell me how you rescued Xiao Linzi?"
Li Yuyan smiled bitterly:
"It's not me, it's someone else."
"who?"
"It is said that he is a high-ranking official from the capital. His name is Zhao Qian."
Li Yuyan naturally recognized Zhao Qian, but in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he still chose to pretend not to know him, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.
"Zhao Qian? It's actually Zhao Qian?!"
Yu Xilin was surprised.
How could Zhao Qian be so kind and help Lin Xiao?
Could it be that the poisonous salt incident was actually secretly controlled by Zhao Qian?
Yu Xilin thought about it again and felt that this was not the case.
After all, the news he heard did not involve Zhao Qian's existence at all.
"You know him?"
"It's not like we know each other, but we've met each other a few times."
Yu Xilin shrugged. He didn't want to mention Zhao Qian too much. He was not a good guy anyway.
At least he doesn't have a good impression of Zhao Qian.
"Forget it, forget about this person. I have to go back as soon as possible. Do you... want to come with me?"
Yu Xilin suddenly asked Li Yuyan.
In fact, Li Yuyan, who had just received the news, was eager to run back to see Lin Xiao and ask her if she was injured.
But reason told him not to be so impulsive!
When the late emperor was still alive, Zhao Qian had studied with him in the Imperial College, and the two were fairly familiar with each other.
If he is recognized, the consequences will be disastrous!
Therefore, no matter how anxious he was, he could only forcefully suppress his inner impulse.
