In the past six months, she has basically returned to the level she was in her youth. If there were a real war, she might even be able to go to the front lines and fight the enemy.
"No...it's nothing! I just saw that man was about to bump into you, and I was worried you'd get hurt, so I tried to help you!"
Su Qianjin hugged her injured hand with her uninjured hand, pretending to be fine and saying weakly.
Su Qianjin's words made Zhao Hanyue feel even more guilty. Su Qianjin had kindly tried to help her, but Zhao Hanyue had ended up hurting her. She quickly reached out to support Su Qianjin and said with concern:
"Um... Brother Jin, should we go back first? Let's find a doctor to check you out, just in case you've really broken a bone?"
Lin Chenglie and the other two were speechless and impatient after witnessing what had just happened, and couldn't help but roll their eyes.
Especially the third brother, Lin Shixiao, who watched Su Qianjin's antics with a cold expression.
This old man definitely saved people, but he also genuinely pretended to be pitiful because he was injured. It's unbearable to watch a grown man act like a fragile piece of paper just because his arm was twisted.
Only his mother, with her forthright and simple-minded nature, would believe that Su Qianjin was truly injured. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been bullied and deceived by his father for so many years without discovering his evil deeds.
Lin Shixiao felt that Su Qianjin, who was too calculating, might not be suitable for his mother! A simple and straightforward woman like his mother was no match for someone like Su Qianjin, who was full of shrewdness and calculation. She might even be sold out and then help count the money.
So at this moment, Su Qianjin has already been eliminated by Lin Shixiao!
"Wouldn't that be too much of a downer? You finally managed to come all this way, and now you're coming back with me and you haven't even had a good time. I'm really fine, I can put up with it!"
Listen to this pitiful act; anyone who didn't know better would think he'd suffered a lot of injustice.
Lin Shixiao gave his older brother a wink, and Lin Chenglie immediately understood, saying:
"Mother, there are too many people here. Let's find a place to rest. If Uncle Jin is still in a lot of pain, I'll take him back to see a doctor later. I'll feel at ease knowing that you have your second and third sons with you!"
Zhao Hanyue looked around and realized there were indeed too many people, making it inconvenient to talk while standing there. So she nodded and prepared to help Su Qianjin find a stool to sit down.
Su Qianjin was still beaming with joy, hehe, the goddess was helping him up!
His smile was practically reaching his ears, but the next second he heard Lin Chenglie whispering to Zhao Hanyue:
"Mother, let me help Uncle Jin. It's not appropriate for you, a woman, to support a man like this. Besides, there are so many people here, and we might run into someone we know. It wouldn't be good if someone saw us!"
Lin Chenglie spoke quite bluntly, but he was telling the truth. Zhao Hanyue immediately came to her senses upon hearing her eldest son's words.
Zhao Hanyue quickly withdrew her hand and took two steps back. She looked around and, not seeing any familiar faces, felt relieved. She had been frightened and lost her composure earlier, but now she dared not get too close to Su Qianjin.
After all, Brother Jin is indeed a foreigner, and she is a divorced woman whose reputation is not very good. She should be more careful when she goes out. Moreover, they are not very familiar with each other. They have only known each other for one day. Her behavior just now was indeed inappropriate.
Lin Chenglie was satisfied when he saw that his mother understood his meaning. He quickly reached out to help Su Qianjin up, so everyone present was satisfied, but Su Qianjin felt bitter.
We finally had a chance to get close, but this big kid ruined it all.
However, he could only grumble to himself, while on the surface he maintained a kind and gentle demeanor, letting Lin Chenglie support him.
The group went to the nearest pavilion to rest. There were many stone benches and a stone table where they could sit and eat something.
After Lin Chenglie helped Su Qianjin sit down, Zhao Hanyue also sat down, but this time she didn't dare to sit too close, instead sitting opposite him. She spoke to Lin Chenglie with concern:
"Ah Lie, should we get a doctor to take a look at Brother Jin's hand? Xin Xin knows medicine, so why don't we have her come and take a look? I don't want him to hurt me and have to pay for it."
She was genuinely afraid of breaking someone's hand, which would prevent them from doing business with Xin Xin again, and that would be a huge loss.
Moreover, she knows exactly how strong she is. An ordinary person like Su Qianjin might not be able to withstand it. If it really breaks, she would have to pay for the medicine.
"It's alright, Mother. I touched his wrist when I was supporting him just now, and it wasn't dislocated. It's probably just a muscle strain. I'll ask Xin Xin to prescribe some ointment for him when we get back, and he'll be fine after applying it for a few days."
Seeing that his mother was genuinely worried, Lin Chenglie quickly whispered words of comfort to her.
"It's good that you're alright."
Zhao Hanyue felt relieved after hearing this; if her son said it was alright, then it was alright.
Su Qianjin didn't say a word the whole time. When the goddess's three sons got involved, he knew that it would be impossible to be alone with the goddess today. He would have to find another opportunity later!
"Don't worry, Madam Lin, I'm not in so much pain anymore. I should be fine. You don't need to worry."
However, Su Qianjin still spoke up to reassure Zhao Hanya.
"Hehe, it's good that you're alright. If you feel unwell, just tell us, and the Lin family will cover your medical expenses!"
Relieved, Zhao Hanyue regained her usual demeanor as the matriarch of the Lin family and spoke to Su Qianjin with a gentle smile.
Seeing that she seemed to want to distance herself and was handling things strictly by business, Su Qianjin felt a little uncomfortable, but she didn't say anything more and just nodded to indicate that she understood.
Since Su Qianjin was injured, they stopped sightseeing and sat in the pavilion to rest, waiting for Lin Yuxin and the others to return.
The pavilion was quiet for a while. Su Qianjin kept glancing at Zhao Hanya. Of the three Lin brothers, only Lin Shixiao was there. The other two, seeing that Su Qianjin wasn't causing any trouble, went to wander around together.
One was preparing to bring Ji Qingxue a gift, while the other wanted to check out the environment of the Hundred Flowers Pavilion and look for business opportunities.
Lin Shixiao also saw Su Qianjin peeking at his mother, but he didn't care. As long as she didn't do anything unbecoming in public, taking a few glances wouldn't hurt her!
So the atmosphere became a little strange for a moment, and even Zhao Hanyue herself felt strange and started to feel uncomfortable sitting there.
I was just thinking of letting my third son go out for a stroll too; who knows, he might run into his sweetheart!
As a result, a discordant voice emerged.
"Oh! Who do we have here? It's my ex-wife! How dare she come out to stroll around the lantern festival and make wishes? Shouldn't she be at home wallowing in self-pity?"
Upon hearing the familiar voice, Zhao Hanyue's face immediately turned cold. She turned her head and saw Lin Xiong'an, whom she hadn't seen in a long time, standing next to him was a beautiful woman.
Zhao Hanyue cursed her bad luck inwardly, then looked at Lin Xiong'an, who was standing opposite her and looking increasingly ugly, and spoke with a sarcastic tone:
"I'm living a much better life than you. Look, I have three sons, all of whom are filial to me. My only daughter is a princess and will soon become the regent's wife. And look at you?"
"You're dressed so shabbily, and you look haggard and much older. It's obvious you haven't been eating well or sleeping soundly. You must have done too many bad things."
