Lin Dan is not the original owner. She is neither arrogant nor paranoid. If she leaves the Xue Mansion and lives outside alone, she doesn't have to worry about being noticed by others and causing a lot of trouble. She still had some money in her hands, enough for her to live a stable life. Besides, she had a skill and was able to support herself.
Although she had lost her memory, when she thought about how to make a living, many options naturally came to her mind, such as being a cook, joining the army, and embroidering. These skills seemed to have seeped into her soul and would never disappear no matter how many times she changed her identity.
However, when she reached the back corner door, she stopped still. Xue Boyong became paralyzed because he wanted to save her. What would he do if she left him? Will he ever be able to stand up again in his life? Can he still realize his revenge and dream?
Lin Dan is a person who clearly distinguishes between gratitude and resentment and values friendship and loyalty. The original owner could leave without any worries and start a new life behind, but she couldn't. Even if she left this place, she would still live in the house purchased for her by the Xue family, and spend the money prepared for her by the Xue family. How could she feel at ease? Now, the original owner is her, and she is the original owner. She has to repay the favor owed by the original owner, and she has to compensate for the sins committed by the original owner. This is a responsibility she cannot shirk.
"I'm not leaving." She turned around and walked towards the main courtyard.
"What did you say? Come back here!" The maid who was responsible for sending her away was stunned.
Lin Dan walked very fast. Due to the remaining prestige of the original owner, the servants he met on the road looked puzzled but did not dare to stop him. When she passed through the hanging flower gate and was about to reach the main courtyard, she heard a burst of crying from inside, and a woman spoke helplessly: "Madam Wen, I don't want this to happen, but Qingfang is only fifteen years old. How can I bear to send her here to be a widow? If your daughter encountered this kind of thing, what would you do?"
Madam Xue did not speak for a long time, but the old lady sighed and said weakly: "Forget it, forget it. There are unexpected changes in the world, and people are subject to misfortunes at any time. This is the fate of my boyong. I can't blame anyone. We will return the engagement letter and marriage certificate to you, you can go back."
Before the woman could even feel happy, Mrs. Xue Wen said harshly, "What do you mean you can't blame anyone? The person who should be blamed the most for Boyong's current situation is that bitch from the Lin family, followed by the master, and then you. If you had listened to my advice earlier and sent her away, Boyong would never have ended up like this. My poor son, you've lost your legs, your official position, and even your wife. How are you going to live the rest of your life..."
The sound of grief-stricken crying continued to come from the room. The old lady remained silent, as if she was reflecting on herself. The woman who came to cancel the engagement kept trying to comfort her and seemed very embarrassed.
Hearing this, Lin Dan no longer hesitated, pushed the door open and walked in, knelt down and said: "Old lady, I won't leave, please let me stay."
"How dare you come here? Zhou Da's family, kick her out!" Mrs. Xue immediately forgot to cry.
The woman standing next to her looked at Lin Dan with curiosity and contempt, obviously aware of the bad behavior of this lady.
The old lady closed her eyes and sighed, "What if you don't leave? Our family has already done our best for you. Your father saved my son's life, and my grandson sacrificed his legs to save you. We don't owe each other anything, so let it be. You can save the five hundred taels of silver, or use it to buy land, so you don't have to worry about the rest of your life."
Lin Danmo kowtowed three times in silence and said slowly, "The Xue family has indeed never wronged me, but you said that we are even, which is not true. If the general had not brought me back to raise me, I would have died at the border long ago. This is the first life you gave me, which offsets the kindness of my father. Big brother helped me block the horse's hooves, which is the second life you gave me. I haven't paid it back yet, how can I just walk away? In the end, I owe the Xue family more."
After saying that, Lin Dan kowtowed three more times and continued, "My father and mother are both descendants of a medical family. I will definitely find a way to cure big brother. If I can't cure him, I will take care of him for the rest of his life. If no one is willing to marry him, I will marry him! I beg the old lady to help me!"
The old lady finally opened her cloudy eyes, looked at her straight, and said in a trembling voice: "If you had always been as sensible as you are now, you wouldn't have gotten to this point! It's too late, everything is too late!"
Lin Dan kowtowed again and said firmly: "As the saying goes, everything depends on human effort. As long as you have the will, it is never too late to change. Old Lady, please let me stay. If I walk out of this threshold today and leave my elder brother alone, I will be trapped for the rest of my life. My life was given to me by my elder brother, so I will give it back to him!"
Seeing her determined look, the old lady was stunned and could not make a decision for a moment.
Madam Xue rushed over and beat her, scolding her: "You unlucky star, you want to stay in our house under the name of Boyong, right? You can't bear to leave the glory and wealth here, the identity of the general's daughter, and Jiming, right? I won't let you have your wish, get out of here!"
Lin Dan did not dodge or resist, but just stared straight at the hall. Her current expression was so similar to that of the brave and fearless General Xue who died on the battlefield, that it instantly evoked many memories for the old lady. The old lady didn't dare to look at it anymore, didn't dare to think about it anymore, closed her eyes and thought for a long time, and finally waved her hand helplessly: "Well, if you want to stay, then stay, but don't forget what I said today. If you get angry and cause trouble again, I will have someone send you away immediately!"
After all, the child was raised by her own hands, so the old lady was willing to give him another chance. She had no hope of curing her grandson. After all, it was a little late for Lin Dan to start studying medicine now.
"Thank you, old lady, for your help!" Lin Dan bowed and thanked her, then pushed Madam Xue away, stood up, and walked away without looking back.
Madam Xue's eyes were red with anger. She asked, "Mother, why did you let this bitch stay? Don't you think Boyong and Jiming have not been harmed enough by her? She is a troublemaker and an ungrateful person. No matter how you raise her, she will never be tamed!"
"That's enough, just be quiet! Which girl would be willing to marry Boyong now that he's in this state? After we leave, do you still expect his brothers and sisters-in-law to take care of him? How long can he last without someone who understands him?"
“But, but we can’t let Lin Dan appear in front of him! Lin Dan is the culprit who caused him to become like this!” Mrs. Xue’s expression relaxed slightly.
"If he can't accept it and comes to me to protest, I will naturally send Lin Dan away."
Since becoming paralyzed, my grandson has not spoken for three months and rarely eats or drinks. If General Xue had not often encouraged him, or even scolded him for being useless, he would have probably committed suicide long ago. He has completely isolated himself from the outside world, and Lin Dan is the culprit that caused him to become like this. If he could have some reaction to her approach, even if it was anger and rejection, it would be a good thing.
It was with this in mind that the old lady agreed to Lin Dan's request. The old lady didn't dare to expect anything from anyone, such as taking care of her grandson or saving his health.
Madam Xue seemed to have thought of this as well. She hesitated for a long time before waving her hand and saying, "Okay, let her try it."
In order to heal her son's legs, Mrs. Xue tried every possible way, even changing several imperial doctors, but she was still unable to save him. Until now, she no longer has any hope for this matter. Instead, she is more afraid that her son will not be able to get over the hurdle in his heart and end up hurting himself. He ate one less bite of food and drank one less glass of water every day, and Mrs. Xue was so worried that she couldn't sleep, not to mention that he refused to speak for three months.
If this continued, she was really afraid that if she lost her focus, her son would leave her forever. His eyes, which were once as bright as stars, were now completely devoid of light and filled with death. If we could use Lin Dan to stimulate him and make him react like a living person, it would be a good idea.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Xue completely gave up the idea of sending Lin Dan away.
…………
Lin Dan returned to the original owner's courtyard and walked into a dusty utility room. Looking at the piles of medical books, he couldn't help but sigh. She didn't even know how to describe the original owner. Such a stupid girl was rare in the world. When she left, she didn't take away the most precious wealth left to her by her parents, but only packed a few gorgeous clothes and jewelry. What was she thinking?
With nothing but property and no skills, she would sooner or later become destitute and starve to death on the streets...
The more Lin Dan thought about it, the more helpless he felt. He sighed as he wiped the medical book clean and put it in the box. He then ordered, "Help me move all my things to my eldest brother's yard. From now on, I will live with my eldest brother."
"Ah?" The maid who had been chasing Lin Dan all the way but failed to send her away was stunned.
"I said, move all my things to my eldest brother's yard. I want to live with him." Lin Dan repeated tirelessly.
Xue Boyong was an extremely outstanding person. While his brothers were surrounding Lin Dan and trying their best to please him, he was practicing martial arts hard in the martial arts field. When his brothers grew up and began to understand the benefits of eating, drinking and having fun, he had already stepped onto the battlefield and made outstanding contributions. He is both civil and military, wise and brave. He is the most promising young man in Qin and has a bright future. The current King of Qin is an ambitious and hardworking emperor who is trying to conquer all parties and unify the Central Plains. Xue Boyong is the sharpest knife in his hand.
The original owner was spoiled to the point of being lawless and domineering, but she never dared to act unruly in front of him, and even hid far away when she saw him. But now, she said she wanted to move in and live with Xue Boyong. How could it not be surprising? The maid was stunned for a long time before she confirmed: "You mean, you want to move to Xiaofeng Pavilion?"
"That's right." Lin Dan buried his head in packing his things.
"Okay then, I'll go call a few more people to help." The maid hurried out, and soon came back with a group of servants, who moved all the piles of medical books to the eldest master's courtyard.
Lin Dan watched them move the medical books and made sure that nothing was left out. Then he casually packed a few plain clothes and a set of study treasures and walked slowly towards Xiaofeng Pavilion. From today on, Xue Boyong is her responsibility that she cannot shirk. If he is well, she will leave. If he is not well, she will take care of him for the rest of his life.
