Chapter 34 The mastermind behind this is Chen Ying
Lin Yu said in a joking tone: "In order to stay by the lady's side for the rest of my life."
"What?" Shen Junheng was stunned.
In fact, no matter what his motive was, she would acknowledge his life-saving grace, but she really didn't expect him to say that.
"Miss, Lin Yu was seriously injured while trying to save you. If Lin Yu manages to survive, can you please ask Miss for a favor?"
"you say."
"Lin Yu wants Miss to support me for the rest of my life."
Shen Junheng remained silent.
Lin Yu put away his joking expression and said seriously, "Lin Yu has fallen into the dust and suffered from cold eyes. It is rare for him to meet a soft-hearted goddess. I must have exhausted all my luck in life. I must seize this opportunity. Thank God not only for letting me meet the lady, but also for giving me the opportunity to be a hero and save the beauty. I think it is worth it to gamble my life for a stable life."
Shen Junheng looked at his expression and didn't think he was lying, so this reason made sense.
But she didn't want to make any promises to him before she was sure of his background.
She pondered for a moment and said calmly, "Just live here peacefully."
Seeing that she didn't give a clear answer, Lin Yu didn't show any disappointment, and asked again: "Then Miss, can you please not let me go to the toilet?"
Shen Junheng chuckled: "Then what do you want to do?"
"Can I be a security guard?"
"Let's talk after you recover from your injuries."
Shen Junheng saw some blood on Lin Yu's mask and reached out to take it off, but Lin Yu gently held her wrist and begged, "Miss, can you let me keep wearing the mask?"
Shen Junheng glanced at his eyes under the mask.
Those were a pair of peach blossom eyes that could show deep affection even to a dog.
Shen Junheng withdrew his hand and said calmly: "Don't tell me you are too ugly, I'm afraid it will scare me."
How could someone with such charming eyes be ugly?
"When I see the young lady, I can't help but feel ashamed of myself. The young lady asked me to wear a mask all the time so that I can be less nervous when I see the young lady."
Shen Junheng's feeling of déjà vu became stronger and stronger, but since he didn't want to take off the mask, she didn't force him.
Soon, the doctor came and Shen Junheng stood up and stood aside.
After the doctor saluted Mr. Shen, he immediately walked to the bedside to take his pulse and ask about his injuries.
"Doctor, I'm injured here too." Lin Yu said as he lifted his clothes, revealing his strong chest.
This Lin Yu, when his mask was pulled off, he was very shy, but when he took off his clothes, he didn't treat her as an outsider at all.
Shen Junheng didn't expect him to be like this. He avoided his gaze and saw his chest. He couldn't help swallowing.
She was so focused on admiring his figure that she didn't even notice where he was injured.
Is this the legendary figure that looks thin when dressed and muscular when undressed?
Shen Junheng coughed lightly, turned around and walked out pretending to be calm.
It's not her fault. It was him who took off his clothes without even saying hello.
They probably didn't realize she was lustful, did they?
After a while, the doctor came out and told Shen Junheng that he had been stabbed in the chest. The wound was deep, but fortunately it had not hit his vital points. The rest was mostly superficial. He had been given medicine and bandaged, and he would be healed after resting for ten days or so.
Shen Junheng nodded, ordered someone to pay the medical fee and send the doctor out.
As soon as the doctor left, Xiao Jinhuan walked in hurriedly with a worried look on his face, without waiting for the servant to pass on the message.
When Shen Junheng saw her, he hurried over to greet her. Just as he was about to salute, Xiao Jinhuan reached out to stop her, saying, "We're not outside, there's no need for you to salute. I heard you encountered an assassin in Zuichunlou. Were you injured?"
Xiao Jinhuan said this as he looked at her body carefully.
Shen Junheng shook his head and said, "I'm fine."
Xiao Jinhuan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she was indeed not injured.
Shen Junheng and she went to the front hall and sat down to drink tea. Xiao Jinhuan asked, "Do you know who sent those assassins?"
Shen Junheng shook her head. She was about to send someone to investigate, but judging by Xiao Jinhuan's expression, could it be that she already knew who was behind this?
Xiao Jinhuan sneered, "Who else could it be? Of course it's that idiot Chen Ying!"
"Is it her?" Shen Junheng raised his eyebrows slightly, not surprised.
"She was a brainless person to begin with. She had always disliked Ji Zixuan. When she learned that Sun Youyu had actually gone to her house to ask for her hand in marriage, she became even more furious and actually sent someone to assassinate Ji Zixuan. But you were with Ji Zixuan at the time, and you were both wearing light purple clothes. The assassins didn't know which of you was Ji Zixuan, so they simply wanted to kill you both. It's all Ji Zixuan's fault. You suffered this unprovoked disaster."
Shen Junheng knew in his heart that she wanted to get rid of Ji Zixuan, and this move was indeed too blatant. Xiao Jinhuan didn't even have to send anyone to investigate to know that it was her.
But the reason she dared to be so arrogant was naturally because she had the confidence to do so.
Her father was the Emperor's elder brother, the Prince of Lu, a first-rank official with a fief of 5,000 households. Her mother was the eldest daughter of the Duke of Qi, also a first-rank official with a fief of 3,000 households. Although they did not hold political office, they were nonetheless members of the royal family, both highly respected and valued.
With such a distinguished family background, how could Chen Ying not be arrogant and domineering? Ji Zixuan was merely the daughter of a fifth-rank official, newly arrived in the capital, with no foundation at all. To kill such a person, she didn't need to go to great lengths to resort to any clever tactics.
If Ji Zixuan died, the owner of Zuichunlou would definitely try to minimize the incident if he didn't want to affect his business. Chen Ying could just pick someone to confess and give the Ji family a large sum of money as compensation, and the case would be over.
The Ji family had no support in the capital, so even if they suspected Chen Ying, what would they do? Not to mention whether they could find evidence, even if they did, would he dare to sue Chen Ying?
Don’t let the situation turn out so that you not only don’t get justice but also lose your official position.
Thinking of this, Shen Junheng suddenly felt a chill in his heart.
Heaven is unfair and treats all things as straw dogs.
The strong prey on the weak, this is the way life is.
It was even worse when she traveled to the Tang Dynasty. If she was not the daughter of the Minister of the Central Secretariat, but an ordinary citizen, she would have difficulty in surviving, let alone lying down.
She had tried to cross the class barrier before, but she later discovered that the people who created the classes had already established an insurmountable gap between each class. People praised the carp leaping over the dragon gate, but turned a blind eye to the corpses of countless fish that failed to jump over the dragon gate.
The essence of class is to plunder resources.
Now she has figured it out. Instead of trying so hard to cross the class barrier, it is better to make good use of the resources she has, protect herself, and try to make her life more comfortable.
After all, reducing desires and making yourself happier is much easier than crossing classes.
