Chapter 248 Lin Qingning
Shen Mo and Shen Sui have different stances. Shen Mo only stands with Yan Xingchuan. As for the grievances between the Yan and Lin families, he doesn't think too much about it. He just does whatever Yan Xingchuan asks him to do.
But Chen Sui is different. Shen Sui stands on the side of the Yan family. He will compare Yan Xingchuan and Yan Xingshan, and will be dissatisfied with Yan Xingchuan. He will even put the Yan family's hatred on Yan Xingchuan.
Shen Sui believed that as the only descendant of the Yan family, he had to avenge the Yan family even at the cost of his life.
Chen Mo believes that revenge is secondary, and the most important thing is for Yan Xingchuan to survive and live happily.
The two brothers have fought several times because of their different opinions.
Shen Mo really didn't expect that Shen Sui would bring Lin Qingning here without Yan Xingchuan's consent.
"Master, do you not want to see her? If so, just arrange for someone to send her back to Beiyan City."
Yan Xingchuan stretched out his hand and frowned: "I really don't want to see her, but she's here, and it's not good for me to avoid her. I'm afraid she'll think too much."
He originally sent her directly to Beiyan City, under the pretext of caring about her safety, but now that she has come, he refuses to see her, which is too much.
"I'm just a little worried."
"What are you worried about?"
"If this news gets to Ah Si's ears, will she be angry?"
Shen Mo paused, then said: "Your Majesty, you may be too worried. It's just a cousin. It's not shameful for you to see your cousin. How could Princess Wang take it to heart?"
Really, it was like she was having an affair and was afraid of being caught, which scared him.
Shen Mo reached out and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Yan Xingchuan thought to himself, that's not just a cousin.
Cui Si might not care, but she might also be even more disappointed in him, and he was very scared.
He didn't want her to be dissatisfied with him at all.
But given his relationship with Lin Qingning, it is almost impossible for them not to meet. In this life, he will not have any entanglement with Lin Qingning, but he cannot ignore her either.
"Forget it, I also have something to say to her, so let's take this opportunity."
However, Yan Xingchuan was afraid that Cui Si would mind, so he wrote a letter and sent someone to deliver it to her.
On that day, when the setting sun was slightly slanting, a group of guards escorted a carriage to the gate of the Beiyan camp.
After the carriage stopped, a maid in a narrow-sleeved green shirt and skirt, with twin buns, lifted the curtain and called out, "Madam, we're here."
After the maid finished speaking, she got off the carriage, and then she reached out to help a woman wearing a light purple folded skirt and a white gauze shawl to come down.
Her face is beautiful and delicate, with a pair of willow-shaped eyebrows slightly furrowed, and there seems to be unrelieved worry and sadness between her eyebrows. The whole person seems to be the cool breeze in autumn and the light snow in winter. I feel pity for her and feel pity for her.
She glanced around, with anxiety and fear in her eyes, but she tightly grasped the handkerchief in her hand to calm herself down.
"Is this the Northern Yan camp?"
"Madam Lin." Shen Sui stepped forward, "I am here to greet Madam Lin on the orders of the Lord."
"What about him?" Lin Qingning asked anxiously. Her slightly furrowed brows, slightly red eyes, and pupils that were about to fall all made her look weak and delicate.
She is a woman as delicate and fragile as apricot and pear blossoms.
"Where's my cousin?"
"The master has important matters to attend to." Shen Sui answered and asked Lin Qingning, "Madam Lin, do you still remember me? I am Shen Sui from the Shen family."
"Chen Sui?" Lin Qingning was stunned, then looked at Chen Sui, tears gathering in her eyes, "Is... it you?"
Shen Sui grew up with Yan Xingshan, and he had always been trained as Yan Xingshan's deputy general, so Lin Qingning was naturally familiar with Shen Sui.
"You...you're still alive. What about your eldest cousin? Is your eldest cousin alive too?"
Lin Qingning is only one year younger than Yan Xingchuan. She was a delicate and soft girl when she was little. Both the Yan and Lin families loved her very much and wanted to hold her in their hands.
Madam Yan, who was Lin Qingning's aunt at the time, loved her very much and wanted to marry her off to be their daughter-in-law. The Lin family was also afraid that she would be bullied after getting married, so they thought this was a good marriage.
The first candidate chosen was Yan Xingshan, the eldest son of the Yan family, who was seven years older than Lin Qingning.
He is mature and steady, and is believed by both families to be the person who can best take care of Lin Qingning.
Yan Xingshan also liked this cousin very much back then and often went to see her secretly, sometimes with Shen Sui by his side.
That year, Yan Xingshan was sixteen years old and Lin Qingning was nine years old. Before the two families could finalize their marriage, they suffered a devastating disaster.
Speaking of Yanxing Mountain, the joy of reuniting with an old acquaintance gradually faded away in Shen Sui's heart, leaving only a cold and blank space in his heart.
He said, "Madam Lin, the prince is no longer with us."
Lin Qingning was stunned, as if she had thought of something, her face pale and bloodless: "Yes... Yes, he was gone that year, he was gone that year..."
If he were still alive, how could he have let her suffer for so many years?
Gone, all gone, her family, her aunts and uncles, her cousins, all gone.
No no no, there is another one...
"What about my third cousin?" Lin Qingning asked carefully.
"The master is inside, Madam Lin, please follow me."
"Okay." Lin Qingning nodded repeatedly and followed Shen Sui into the camp.
Seeing the patrolling soldiers coming and going, she looked a little uneasy and asked Shen Sui: "Brother Shen, will my third cousin dislike me?"
The familiar yet unfamiliar name made Shen Sui stunned. Thinking back to the past, his heart was filled with pain.
Yan Xingshan was murdered and died at a young age, and Lin Qingning was tortured by Jiang Shao, and her life has been worse than death these years.
The two of them should have been the most suitable and beautiful couple in the world.
As soon as she grows up to sixteen years old, they will get married.
But the Yan family is gone, the Lin family is gone, and Yan Xingshan is gone too.
Chen Sui's eyes were sore and his mouth was pale and dry. He said, "How could it be? If the Lord didn't like Madam Lin, why would he go through so much trouble to have Madam Lin rescued?"
"Madam Lin, the Lord has been sending people to look for you for years. We've searched so many places, almost the entire Great Zhou."
"Really...really?" Lin Qingning couldn't believe it.
"Of course it's true." Thinking of Lin Qingning's experiences over the years, Shen Sui was also very sad. "Madam Lin, don't worry, the master will take good care of you."
Lin Qingning was still worried after hearing this: "But...but I heard that my third cousin's future wife is a strong person and a noble lady of the Cui family. I'm afraid she won't be able to tolerate someone as dirty as me..."
As she spoke, her voice became more and more uneasy, as helpless and pitiful as a newborn bird.
