"Sorry can't offset the sins committed by the Lin family." This was the first time Song Yushu spoke to Lu Zhixing like this. She stood up and said, "I will definitely avenge my godfather. No one can stop me."
Lu Zhixing remained in the same position until Song Yushu left the room, and the candlelight in the room gradually dimmed.
The faint candlelight reflected on Lu Zhixing's face, "Liu Bai, am I wrong?"
The current situation makes both Song Yushu and Lu Zhixing very uncomfortable. Although the Lin family has committed many evil things, Lu Zhixing still wants to save the lives of Old Master Lin and the Queen Mother.
But he knew that if the Lin Mansion lost its prosperity and wealth, these two people would be half dead. He and Song Yushu had discussed before whether it was possible to let the Lin family retreat to the clan's territory, which would be a punishment for them.
But Song Yushu firmly disagreed. What she wanted was that the Lin family would never be able to make a comeback. Saving their lives was already a concession on his part.
Before, Lu Zhixing had tacitly agreed to Song Yushu's behavior. After all, his relatives wanted to kill him, so he couldn't show weakness.
But today, when he saw his grandfather during the time he could see with his own eyes, his heart suddenly softened. The grace of his grandfather's upbringing over the years was hard to erase.
Liu Bai was silent for a moment, then said, "You've already repaid Old Master Lin's kindness during the war that year. Your life now was saved by Master Song at the risk of his life."
These words hit Lu Zhixing's heart hard, and also shattered his last trace of guilt towards the Lin family.
Lu Zhixing frowned and pinched his nose. Under the dim light, a tear slipped from the corner of his eye.
Liu Bai stood silently behind Lu Zhixing without saying a word. In fact, Lu Zhixing was not an indecisive master.
However, the Lin family raised him for more than ten or twenty years, and such kindness cannot be severed easily. No one can understand it unless they are in it. What's more, Lu Zhixing is actually affected by the toxins that have not been removed and the medicine in Old Master Lin's room.
It was not until late at night that Lu Zhixing finally recovered. After he woke up, he suddenly felt strange.
Ever since Song Yushu rescued him, he had been extremely disappointed with the Lin family. Later, when he saw with his own eyes the attitude of Old Master Lin and the Queen Mother towards him, he came to his senses.
Why did he suddenly ask Song Yushu for mercy today?
"Where is Ah Shu?"
Liu Bai shook his head. He didn't follow them out, as he didn't know what was going on. After thinking for a while, he called out softly to the door, "Yuzhu."
After a while, Yuzhu pushed the door open and walked in, "Your Majesty, Master Liu Bai."
"Where is Master Song?"
"I slept in the side room."
Lu Zhixing stood up and held Liu Bai's hand, "Let's go."
Coming to the next room, Lu Zhixing slowly sat down beside the bed where Song Yushu was sleeping. He accurately found her head by the sound of her breathing and gently lifted the hair beside her ear and tucked it behind her ear.
Song Yushu suddenly woke up and was startled. Fortunately, Lu Zhixing held her down first. "It's me."
"Why are you trying to scare anyone in the middle of the night?!" Song Yushu has always been grumpy when waking up, and this has become worse over the past few years under Lu Zhixing's doting.
Lu Zhixing felt guilty and smiled flatteringly, "I suddenly have something to ask you."
"Why are you asking me? I'll stab you to death later!" Song Yushu became even more arrogant. She sat up angrily and punched Lu Zhixing directly.
Lu Zhixing didn't dare to speak and could only sit by the bed and wait for Song Yushu to wake up on his own.
After an unknown amount of time, Song Yushu finally woke up. She took a deep breath and said, "You won't even let me sleep, will you?"
Seeing that Song Yushu's attitude had softened, Lu Zhixing moved closer to the bed and asked, "Don't you think I'm a little strange today?"
Song Yushu looked Lu Zhixing up and down in the moonlight. "What's so strange?"
"Although there are still toxins in my body that can affect me, I feel particularly strange today. I even feel that I shouldn't fight against the Lin family." Lu Zhixing explained patiently.
He is not an ungrateful person, but he will never be the one to be beaten. Even if the Lin family wants his life, he will never let them go just because of the kindness they showed him in the past, not to mention that he has already given in step by step before.
Song Yushu was silent for a long while after hearing this. He frowned and felt that something was amiss. "What did you do in Old Master Lin's room today?"
The main purpose of Old Master Lin recruiting Lu Zhixing was to completely tie the Lin family and Lu Zhixing together. The most direct way was to let Lu Zhixing and Lin Zhiyao get married.
But this isn't the safest option...
"My grandfather gave me a lecture for a while, then asked the servant to read, and then I knelt down to recite scriptures until late at night." Lu Zhixing frowned and thought carefully.
It was impossible for drugs to control Lu Zhixing's thoughts so precisely. Song Yushu had a crazy idea, "Were there any strange noises during this period?"
"Someone has been playing the piano. The sound is not loud and there is nothing special about it." Lu Zhixing thought for a while.
Because Old Master Lin has always been interested in music theory, he would often have people play music in his room to help him fall asleep.
Tsk, damn rich people! Song Yushu curled his lips and asked, "Have you ever had a moment of blankness in this period?"
"Why do you ask that?" Lu Zhixing thought Song Yushu might have some ideas. "No matter how outrageous it is, I believe you."
It was indeed outrageous. Song Yushu thought her idea was too bizarre, but then he thought about how Lu Zhixing could fly over the eaves and walls, which was not common sense. "I think the piano music is trying to hypnotize you and change your mind."
Lu Zhixing was silent for a long time, so long that Song Yushu wondered if he was trying to figure out how to refute his bizarre idea. After all, hypnosis probably didn't exist in ancient times, right? How could he control someone's thoughts with the sound of a zither?
Just as Song Yushu was about to open his mouth to deny his statement, Lu Zhixing spoke up, "Years ago, I read in the records of strange things in various countries that Japan has a strange technique that can change other people's minds..."
"Is it true?!" Song Yushu was surprised.
"It seems that my grandfather not only wants to tie Lin Zhiyao and me together, but also takes the risk of colluding with a Japanese alien to tamper with my memory and thoughts. This alien's method is superb. It took only one day to shake my thoughts..." Lu Zhixing even had cold sweat on his back.
Song Yushu was even more terrified. She held Lu Zhixing's hand and said, "Such a powerful person is definitely not someone that ordinary people or money can sway. He must be from the royal family..."
Lu Zhixing exuded murderous intent. He shook Song Yushu's hand and said, "A few years ago, Japan massacred thousands of civilians in Dayan. This hatred is hard to forget. How dare the Lin family collude with the Japanese royal family!"
Back then, it was Lu Zhixing who led his troops directly to the capital of Japan. If the emperor had not urgently summoned him, fearing that the surrounding countries would have opinions about Dayan and disrupt the balance among the countries, Lu Zhixing would have been able to kill the king of Japan!
