Chapter 16: Okay, okay, others can tell a woman by her scent, but you can tell a woman by her madness
Seeing that she was lifeless like a puppet, Su Yuyan knew that her desire to die had reached its peak at this moment.
So I persuaded him patiently.
"It's not your fault that you were let down, it's his fault."
"It's foolish to punish yourself for someone else's mistakes. If you commit suicide, what will happen to your father, mother, and brother at home?"
Cui Xue, who had suffered a miscarriage, burst into tears upon hearing this.
"But my reputation will be ruined, and my parents will be gossiped about by the neighbors because of me."
Seeing that Cui Xue still looked like she was seeking death, Su Yuyan spoke softly.
"Don't live within the shackles of worldly definitions. Who stipulated that a woman must die if she loses her virginity before marriage?"
"I've lost my innocence, but I'm still living well, right?"
"Don't waste your energy on yourself. As long as you don't commit suicide, I will arrange for a highly skilled doctor to come to your home and cure your father."
After hearing this, Cui Xue's face, which seemed to be wishing for death, showed some emotion.
"I'll give all the remaining money I have to Miss Su. Please save my father's life."
"I will go to the underworld as a ghost to repay you for your great kindness."
Su Yuyan: “…”
"How do you repay me like a ghost? Do you take away the person who offended me?"
"For me, the death of my enemies is a relief, and living a life worse than death is the only way to relieve my hatred. So I probably don't need you as a ghost messenger."
Cui Xue: "..."
"Then I will be ready in the underworld at all times and report back when I have the chance."
Su Yuyan: “…”
Such a cute train of thought.
"Do you hate Qin Feng?"
Cui Xue, who lost her child, did not hesitate.
"I hate it so much that I want to eat his flesh and drink his blood."
Su Yuyan continued.
"Meeting is fate. Since I have come across your problem today, I will help you to the end."
"As long as you don't commit suicide, I will let you witness Qin Feng's fall from grace. I hate to drag things out, and I will make sure his retribution comes quickly."
"Keep the money for your journey and stay here to recover. Don't worry about your father's health. As long as you stay alive, I will send a highly skilled doctor to heal your father."
Looking at this noble lady who came to his rescue despite meeting her by chance, Cui Xue stood up, knelt in front of Su Yuyan and kowtowed three times.
"Thank you Miss Su for helping me like this."
"I want to see him get his comeuppance with my own eyes!"
"Although I don't have much ability, I am willing to work like a slave for you to repay you for saving my life."
Su Yuyan gestured to Xiu'er to help her up.
"As the saying goes, giving someone a rose leaves a lingering fragrance on your hand, so there's no need to work like a slave."
"It just so happens that I have an enemy, and Qin Feng is known for his gentle breeze and bright moon, which saves me the trouble of looking for someone else."
"Abortion is extremely harmful to women. I'll have Xiu'er bring you some nourishing food later. You should take good care of yourself."
Upon hearing this, Cui Xue burst into tears.
She didn't expect that the noble lady in front of her would be so approachable.
She kowtowed three times to Su Yuyan.
"Cui Xue will always remember Miss Su's kindness and will definitely find an opportunity to repay her in the future."
Su Yuyan waved her hand.
"Abortion is harmful to your health, so stop kneeling, or my promise to you will be invalid."
Cui Xue was so moved that she couldn't utter any fancy words. She just kept choking up and expressing her gratitude.
Su Yuyan turned and left.
"I'm leaving now. Don't kneel down, I have eyes on the back of my head!"
After leaving the inn, Xiu'er opened an oil-paper umbrella to shade Su Yuyan from the sun.
"Miss, you are dressed in white, but your heart is as brocade as the warm sun, with both warmth and brightness."
Su Yuyan raised her chin.
"That's right, I call this great love hidden in madness."
Xiu'er: "......"
How does the young lady manage to switch back and forth between normal and not-so-normal at will...
The next day, after Su Yuyan chatted with Mrs. Du for a long time about family matters, she returned to her own courtyard and leisurely fanned herself with a palm-leaf fan to enjoy the cool air.
After a while, a servant who came to deliver the message broke the comfortable atmosphere.
"Miss, Prime Minister Lin's third son, Lin Heqing, wants to see you. He's waiting outside the mansion."
"He didn't tell you what he wanted from you. He just gave you a letter and said you would see him after you read it."
The original owner had only been brought back to the General's Mansion half a year ago, and after she came back, she devoted all her attention to the prince, so she knew nothing about other opposite sexes in Kyoto.
Unable to find this person in her memory, Su Yuyan looked at Xiu'er and asked directly.
"Someone is looking for someone like me, a lunatic? Then what is Lin Heqing's reputation in Kyoto?"
Xiu'er answers questions and resolves doubts.
"He was born when Prime Minister Lin was nearly forty years old, so the Prime Minister's wife doted on him. The whole capital knew that he loved drinking and writing poetry with a few playboys. He also had two older brothers..."
After Su Yuyan got a general understanding of the other party's situation, she took the envelope and opened it.
Unexpectedly, what came into view was:
"How much sorrow can one have? Tang Monk washes his hair with Rejoice."
"Books contain a golden house, I don't want to go to school and herd pigs."
"Withered vines, old trees, and crows; every meal consists of meat and shrimp."
"Without money in the pocket, without face, a man in middle age is pitiful; a coffin is lifted and covered with a cloth, ten people sit at a table, and food is served."
"Class 7 of Grade 1 is extraordinary. After three years, all of them will be security guards."
Ok, ok, here comes an interesting guy.
These quotes from Lao Liu made Su Yuyan laugh so hard that her body shook.
"Take him to the drawing-room."
When Su Yuyan stepped into the reception room, she saw a man wearing a white brocade robe with a round collar and gold-threaded bamboo embroidery.
He wore a jade crown on his head, and his face was cold and handsome, like a green pine standing proudly in the wind and rain.
It is dignified, quiet and elegant.
It is indeed the temperament of a scholarly family.
Judging from the appearance alone, it is hard to imagine that the sentences written on the paper were written by him.
So, Su Yuyan tested him in person.
"I urge you to drink another glass of wine."
Lin Heqing: "Whoever stops doing this is a dog."
Su Yuyan spoke again.
"Harden their minds and toil their muscles."
Lin Heqing: "He died on the spot and was buried."
After confirming through eye contact, I knew that he was the time traveler.
Su Yuyan immediately dismissed all the servants present, and then whispered softly.
"When did you wear this?"
Lin Heqing: "Two months. How about you?"
Su Yuyan said: "Two weeks."
"Lin Heqing, are you here because of what I did on the street yesterday?"
When he saw his fellow villager, the man talked incessantly.
"Yes, this crazy behavior and beautiful mental state are definitely not from this place."
Su Yuyan is the supporting actor.
"Okay, okay, others can tell a woman by her scent, but you can tell a woman by her insanity."
Lin Heqing: “…”
"My friend, you are indeed crazy."
"You've been here for two weeks. Do you feel you've adapted?"
"This is the primitive era, without electronic products. Every day feels like a year. I'm really not used to it. You have no idea how much I want to travel back."
Su Yuyan said.
"I think it's great here. Wearing silk and satin and eating healthy meat and vegetables. So, do you prefer wearing clothes made of C-grade polyester and black-hearted cotton, or do you prefer eating lymphatic meat buns and drinking blended soy milk?"
Lin Heqing: “…”
"The way you put it, it seems like I'm not grateful for what I have. Fellow countryman, let me tell you..."
Seeing that he had opened up, Su Yuyan didn't want to chat with him about this at home, for fear that Mrs. Du and Su Zhan, who had suddenly come to see her, would hear something they couldn't accept.
So, she gave advice.
"If my relatives knew that the Su Yuyan in front of them wasn't Su Yuyan, they would most likely be heartbroken. So, let's find a teahouse to reminisce about the past."
Although Lin Heqing understood very well, he still asked considering her reputation.
