Chapter 98
Rose Courtyard
"Miss, the guards at the main gate have sent word that the leader has returned with the woman."
Lin Zhi walked into the bedroom, stood at a distance, and carefully lowered his head to report the news he had just received to Yin Shiwei who was lying on the bed.
The room was filled with a delicate fragrance and dimly lit. Ever since her illness, the young lady's bedroom had always been so dim that it was practically impossible to see. As one of Yin Shiwei's closest attendants, Lin Zhi had long since grown accustomed to such an environment. After completing her report, she stood respectfully to the side, awaiting the young lady's instructions.
After a long time, a weak voice came from behind the bed curtain.
"I understand. It's late. You should go down and rest first."
"Yes, Miss." After receiving the order, Lin Zhi dared to retreat. Before leaving, she couldn't help but look up carefully, but she only saw a vague figure illuminated by the dim light behind the bed curtain. That was the Miss.
Although she was a close attendant, she rarely saw the young lady since she fell ill, and every time they met, it was almost always when the young lady was ill.
Lin Zhi sighed in his heart, and when he was about to take a closer look, he was glared at by Lin Rui who was standing beside Yin Shiwei's bed. Lin Zhi had no choice but to lower his head and leave the room.
Since the young lady fell ill, Lin Rui, with her plain, even somewhat ugly face, has become the only one of them who sees the young lady daily. Compared to herself, who has been taking care of the young lady since she was a child, the young lady now trusts Lin Rui, who was promoted to the position of attendant a few years ago. Lin Zhi can't figure out why; she doesn't think Lin Rui is any better than herself...
"Lin Rui, what do you think about my brother these days...why does he take that captured woman out every day?" Yin Shiwei's voice was weak, half lying on the big bed, her fingers tightly grasping the thin quilt in front of her chest, her brows tightly furrowed, her expression seemed to be confused and a little resentful, making it hard to guess what she was thinking at the moment.
"Miss, Lin Rui is stupid and doesn't know what the leader is thinking. But the leader must have his reasons for doing this. Perhaps that woman is of some use to him!"
At this moment, Lin Rui had already lifted the bed curtain and walked over. Looking at the resentful look of the woman on the bed, Lin Rui already knew what she was thinking. She mocked her in her heart, but on the surface she became more respectful and considerate.
"Yes, you're right. It makes sense. Since that woman was able to rescue me when Uncle Li was helpless, it shows that she has some skills. Brother has always valued talent, so naturally he wants to win her over."
Lin Rui's words seemed to have some effect, and Yin Shiwei's frown relaxed a lot. So, her brother probably didn't have any feelings for that woman. I heard that she was still very young, looked underdeveloped, and seemed very weak. Yin Shiwei felt a little relieved.
"Miss, it's getting late. You should rest. Master Li has told you to rest more during this period and not to worry too much." Lin Rui saw that Yin Shiwei seemed to have relaxed, so she quickly pressed the corner of her back, laid the pillow flat, and then said in a gentle voice.
"I understand, Lin Rui. You go to that woman's residence in person tomorrow morning. I want to meet her." Although he felt much more relieved about Mu Jiao's matter, Yin Shiwei still wanted to meet that woman for some reason.
"This...what if the leader wants to take that woman out tomorrow..." Lin Rui looked embarrassed and didn't know what to do, so she asked.
"Don't worry. If my brother is here, just tell him that I want to meet my savior and thank him in person. I think he'll let you bring the woman here."
"Yes, miss, I will go there early tomorrow. You can take a rest." After receiving the reply, Lin Rui agreed happily.
"Okay. I understand. You can go down too." Yin Shiwei said and closed his eyes.
"Yes." Lin Rui quietly turned off all the lights in the room, then turned around. There was no trace of kindness on her face anymore, only indifference. If you look closely in the darkness, you can see that the corners of her mouth are slightly raised, with a hint of mockery.
