Chapter 36: Going out alone in danger
"Mom!"
Lin Mobai's voice came from outside Shangchun Garden, startling the spring scenery in the garden.
"Aren't you going to the army today? Why are you here?" Shen Xuelan slowly put the bouquet in the vase and glanced at him slowly.
[Wow! Second brother is so handsome! ]
Lin Baoer, who was in Qinglian's arms, brightened her eyes when she saw Lin Mobai, and she was infatuated with him.
Perhaps because he was going to the army today, Lin Mobai changed his usual dress, tied his high ponytail with red silk, and wore light armor, which was quite high-spirited.
"My eldest brother asked me to do something last night and asked me to come to mother's place today to get a token. Did father tell you about this?"
Shen Xuelan nodded and put the scissors back. "Your father did ask me to look after something when he left this morning. It turns out you want it. Then you wait here and I'll get it."
Lin Mobai nodded.
As soon as he turned his head, he met Lin Baoer's big round eyes. His hand itched, so he walked over quickly and stretched out a finger to hold her palm, "Baoer~ Do you miss your second brother? Wait for your second brother to bring you a gift, okay?"
"Baoer, do you like that Cuizhu? I heard that girls in Beijing now like that thing. Why don't you buy one for Baoer to have a look?"
Before Lin Baoer could respond, Qinglian laughed dumbly, "Second Master, how can a young lady know what she likes and dislikes nowadays? As long as it's shiny, she will probably love it."
[No! Is Cuizhu some kind of jadeite? It should be valuable! I like anything that's valuable! 】
After hearing this, Lin Mobai curled his lips, and a smile flashed in his eyes, "Sister Qinglian, you don't understand this. I think Bao'er still has her own ideas. If you don't believe me, give her a shiny pebble and see if she likes it."
Qinglian really didn't believe it and picked up a piece from the side. The pebble was polished day and night, and it was very smooth and dazzling under the sunlight. At first glance, it looked like some valuable jade.
She put the pebble in front of Lin Bao'er, shook it, and said in a coaxing voice, "Miss, do you like this?"
[I'm not stupid, what's there to like about this broken stone. 】
Lin Bao'er complained in her heart, and naturally turned her eyes away and didn't want to look at her.
This reaction was beyond Qinglian's expectation. She pursed her lips helplessly, a little distressed, "It seems that the second young master still understands the young lady's preferences."
Lin Mobai was proud in his heart, but in fact he was just taking advantage of being able to hear Lin Baoer's thoughts.
"What are you doing?" At that time, Shen Xuelan had already taken out the token. Seeing the two people outside, one was disappointed and the other was proud, she was very confused.
"Nothing, we are guessing what Baoer likes." Lin Mobai took the token and put it in his arms, laughing happily, "Then I won!"
"Second young master, you can't be considered a winner. You have to wait until you get the jade pearl back before you can see the result." Qinglian refused to admit defeat.
Lin Mobai raised his eyebrows, "Then I will definitely win!"
"You two." Shen Xuelan knew why Qinglian lost. She shook her head with a smile, took Lin Baoer from Qinglian's arms, and gently reminded her, "Be careful on your way, pay attention to safety."
"Yes." Lin Mobai agreed.
Seeing that Lin Mobai was about to leave, Lin Baoer suddenly had a flash of inspiration and her eyes widened suddenly.
[Wait a minute! Wait a minute! Second brother, you haven't finished taking the medicine yet! ]
[This medicine seems to have to be taken for three consecutive days. I don't know if it will lose its effect if I don't take it today...]
[What should I do now? How can I get close to my second brother? 】
Hearing this, Lin Mobai pretended to be calm and turned back, "Mom, I remember my wristband is still with you, right? I'm afraid I'll forget it next time, so why don't you give it to me now."
Shen Xuelan also nodded seriously, "Okay, I'll let Qinglian get it."
Then she pushed Qinglian in.
"It's just right, my hands are tired, you can hold Baoer for me for a while."
Lin Mobai took it as he wished.
【God really helps me! Now I can perfectly let my second brother take the medicine! 】
Lin Baoer didn't see through this thousand-layer routine at all, and thought that God was really looking after her.
She swung her arm, pretending to hit Lin Mobai's lips accidentally, and then easily put the colorless and tasteless pill in.
The pill melted in his mouth. If it weren't for Lin Mobai's sharpness, he probably wouldn't have noticed what had gone into his mouth.
[Alright! Perfect!]
Lin Bao'er was delighted. Lin Mobai didn't expose her. After Qinglian took the wristband, he returned Lin Bao'er to Shen Xuelan, "Mother, I'll take my leave first."
...
At noon, Lin Bao'er was having a meal with Shen Xuelan. Suddenly, a servant hurried to Shangchunyuan to report that Lin Mobai was ambushed on the way to the military camp and his whereabouts were unknown.
"What?!" Shen Xuelan dropped the bowl in her hand to the ground, her face full of surprise.
She hurriedly grabbed the man, her beautiful eyes full of anxiety, "Have you sent people to look for him?"
The servant lowered his head: "We have sent people to look for him, and we can't find anyone within a few miles of the ambush site, so we came back to report."
"What should I do... What should I do..." Shen Xuelan was staggering as if the sky had fallen, and her eyes were instantly red. If Qinglian hadn't supported her in time, she might have fallen directly to the ground.
Lin Baoer was also very anxious at that time, constantly recalling the plot in her mind.
It shouldn't be! Lin Mobai should be fine during this period! How could he encounter an ambush and be in danger of life and death! Could it be the butterfly effect again?
[Mother, don't worry! Second brother is extraordinary, he will definitely be able to escape! The most important thing now is to let Dad know first! After all, the accident happened to the second brother on the way to the military camp, and the people there might know something! 】
【At the very least, you can ask the eldest brother! We have to send someone to find out the news quickly! 】
With Lin Baoer's reminder, Shen Xuelan finally gathered her spirits and ordered: "Quick! Go to the palace to find the eldest master and the adults, and tell them that Mo Bai was ambushed and missing, quickly!"
"Yes!" The servants hurriedly withdrew.
"Madam, don't worry, the second master will be fine!" Qinglian comforted her with a trembling voice, and the anxiety in her eyes also showed her inner unrest.
After waiting anxiously for another hour, the person who had just left came back.
"Madam! The master told you not to worry. He has sent people to search and will report as soon as there is news."
"Okay..." Shen Xuelan's beautiful eyes were absent-minded and she fell on the chair.
But at that time, Lin Baoer felt something was wrong. Why was the current situation so similar to the scene that she would encounter soon...
