Chapter 91: Heart to Heart
Sheng Yixuan nodded slightly, and after a moment's silence, he asked, "Then who do you think is behind this, Zijin?"
Yin Zijin frowned slightly and fell into deep thought. After a while, he slowly said: "Your Highness, Zijin does have some guesses in his mind, but he doesn't know whether he should say them or not..." As he said this, he bowed to Sheng Yixuan hesitantly.
Seeing this, Sheng Yixuan quickly reached out to help Yin Zijin up, and smiled and comforted her: "There are only two of us here, there is no need to be so reserved."
Yin Zijin took a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind, and then said softly: "Your Highness, what Zijin is about to say may be a bit treasonous, please forgive me."
Sheng Yixuan waved his hand, signaling him to continue.
Yin Zijin said: "There are only two possibilities for this matter. I am not afraid of being laughed at by Your Highness. The first possibility is a dispute within the Yin Mansion. Zijin has not had a good time in the Yin Mansion these years..."
Hearing these words, Sheng Yixuan quickly said: "I can help you..."
Yin Zijin smiled bitterly and touched his messy hair. His pale face revealed a hint of helplessness and a calmness that was not in line with his current age. "Someone has said they would help me before, so in what capacity and for what reason? Why are you helping me?
I am young and there is nothing I can do to help you. Besides, I am very sick. Call me aloof or selfish, but some things can be returned, and some things cannot be returned. The education I received is to be self-reliant and not depend on anyone.
If I were to speak as a woman, I would not want to be a canary or a dodder in a man's hand, trapped in the backyard all my life, relying on a man for survival.
As a man, I would rather live independently. Just like I promised my stepmother to live as a woman, and she promised me to study medicine. The relationship between us is one of equal exchange, I don’t owe anyone…”
Yin Zijin was thinking as he spoke. In modern times, he had read Shui Da's "Professional Stand-in". He didn't understand why Zhou Xiang chose to be kept by Yan Mingxiu after his rebirth, and was unwilling to accept Lan Xirong's loan. Zhou Xiang’s love-mindedness is certainly part of this, but the most fundamental thing is that he doesn’t want to owe anyone anything.
Between the two options, Zhou Xiang chose to be kept, which was actually an equal exchange, just an exchange of money and body. If he accepted Lan Xirong's huge loan, he would owe a favor. In this known and unknown situation, Zhou Xiang did not dare to bet. What if he could never repay the favor in his lifetime? Although Zhou Xiang was caught up in an emotional entanglement with Yan Mingxiu, it did not affect Zhou Xiang's decisiveness.
Yin Zijin feels that he is actually quite similar to Zhou Xiang. He has his own persistence, but perhaps this persistence is not understood by others.
Maybe some people will say: "Why are you so stupid! Why don't you accept it!
This path is the best choice, are you stupid? ”
But Yin Zijin wanted to say: "I don't want to be controlled by others. Even in this cannibalistic feudal society, I want to be like a strong rose and walk out my own path, which is beautiful but dangerous and full of thorns."
Listening to Yin Zijin's words, Sheng Yixuan's frozen eyes revealed a complicated expression: "I don't understand, but I support it."
Yin Zijin paused and looked at Sheng Yixuan with a little shock. Just eight words warmed Yin Zijin's cold and slightly selfish heart a lot.
In the past, Yin Zijin just thought that Sheng Yixuan was good-looking, and since she was the designated prince's concubine, she felt that she could give it a try to get along with Sheng Yixuan. But Sheng Yixuan only used eight words to warm Yin Zijin's heart. Yin Zijin's heart was like a warm hand warmer, beating hotly...
