Should we... carve another one?
Isn't this going to kill him?
Sheng Linyuan strongly suspects that Jin Jin overheard him smashing the bowl yesterday and is now getting his comeuppance QAQ.
The Grand Secretary tentatively asked, "Would Jinjin like some more honey water? I'll make you some."
"No need." Si Jin didn't press the matter, her voice still lacking inflection: "Anyway, the crane is already broken. After I finish this bowl of porridge, I'll go back."
“It’s just a crane, what’s so difficult about that?” Sheng Linyuan said, forcing himself to speak. “You drink first, I’ll carve another one for you in a bit.”
They said they were going to carve one, but they ended up carving until lunchtime, and Sheng Linyuan got two small cuts on his hand.
It wasn't deep, but it was specially bandaged up to lure Jinjin into discovering it.
Then she took the opportunity to hold the boy's hand again.
However, after finishing lunch, Si Jin still got up to say goodbye: "I really have to go. My injuries haven't healed yet, but there's medicine in the manor that can treat them."
"Let me take you home."
"No need." Si Jin refused decisively, as if she had thought of something sad. Her eyes were deep, and a hint of sadness was unintentionally revealed.
With her head down, she said in a muffled voice, "My mind is not very sharp to begin with, and now that I have an injured leg, I'm both clumsy and crippled. How can I ride in A Yuan's carriage? I can walk by myself. There's no need for you to see me off."
As he spoke, he limped toward the door.
Sheng Linyuan felt a headache coming on when he heard this, and his heart even jumped into his throat.
While in an enemy country, he constantly reminded himself to be careful with his words and actions.
Unexpectedly, instead of causing trouble in the imperial court, it led to...
Her mind raced, and she quickly stepped forward to comfort her: "Jinjin, you've misunderstood. Jinjin has always been so good to me, how could I abandon you? It's just..."
"But this morning the carriage was old and dirty, and it was no longer suitable for you, so I had it burned. Now I'm sending you a new carriage."
[Wow... Little Heavenly Lord really went all out!] Xiao Yao exclaimed in amazement: [According to the plot, that was his favorite carriage, and he just burned it like that?]
But that seems to make sense; a carriage that makes the wife angry is no good carriage.
Who are you calling a "brain woman"?
Si Jin's voice came at an inopportune moment, and Xiao Yao immediately changed her tune: [A system that makes its host angry is not a good system! I'll punish myself by going to the dark room to reflect on my actions.]
After saying that, he quickly hid inside and locked the door.
Thankfully, Tiger Head wasn't hit, and his beard is still intact.
The next moment, *crack*—
A bolt of lightning struck the tiger's head, leaving a bald patch.
Xiao Yao: [QAQ I was wrong, you're the top, the ultimate top!]
Watching Xiao Yao constantly searching for hair growth products in the system store, Si Jin couldn't help but smile.
In Sheng Linyuan's eyes, this meant that he had temporarily escaped a disaster, and he instructed Sheng Yu to prepare a new carriage to send Si Jin back.
Sheng Yu was also puzzled. Didn't his master dislike Mu Sijin before?
Why does he always seem to care less about his colleagues and more like he's concerned about...?
wife?
The carriage bumped along the way to the Duke of Liang's mansion. It was unclear what Sheng Linyuan had said to his subordinates, but the driver deliberately chose the bumpiest sections of the road.
Si Jin was forced into his arms several times, and Sheng Linyuan, with a sense of righteousness, quickly and kindly helped her up.
“Jinjin is injured and her legs are not good. Just in case, she should lean on it.”
Si Jin was too lazy to argue with him, so she leaned against him, lazily closed her eyes, and gradually her breathing became even.
With his prominent Adam's apple almost touching his face, Sheng Linyuan instructed the driver to take a smooth road, then lowered his eyes slightly to stare at the sleeping person in his arms.
He leaned down, his lips almost touching his Adam's apple, when the carriage suddenly stopped, and the driver shouted, "Lord Sheng, we've arrived at the Duke's mansion."
Si Jin was awakened by the sound and stretched.
As his Adam's apple receded further and further away, Sheng Linyuan nearly choked on his breath.
He got out of the carriage with a sullen face and walked up to the driver: "You don't have any tip money today?"
Coachman: ? ? ?
Didn't they say they'd give me double the reward if I took the bumpy route? Why the sudden change of heart?
"Lord Sheng, this humble one..."
"Young Master, something terrible has happened!" The coachman tried to defend himself, but before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Mo Qi, who rushed out of the mansion in a panic.
Mo Qi knelt before Si Jin, her eyes filled with self-reproach: "His Highness the Crown Prince has come and burned down the pharmacy in our mansion where we keep our precious medicinal herbs! Your medicine was still inside!"
