Zhao Jiao was delighted to hear this and urged, "Quickly, go quickly."
Lin Zhengshan opened the door with great joy, only to be stunned to see Su Ruojin and Xiao Yanchu standing there. He forced a smile to hide his deep disappointment.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, what brings you here?"
"What's wrong, Lord Lin? Are you waiting for someone? Are you a little disappointed to see it's us?" Su Ruojin said with a faint smile.
Lin Zhengshan quickly composed himself and said, "No, no, it's an honor for Your Highness and Princess to come to my humble courtyard. Please come in, please come in."
Su Ruojin walked into the courtyard; it was her first time entering this place.
The courtyard is ordinary and not big, but it can easily accommodate five or six people, let alone two.
There is a jujube tree in the courtyard, and under the tree is a small table with two stone chairs.
There were some fallen leaves on the ground, which suggested that Zhao Jiao had been ill recently and no one had cleaned the place, nor had any other maids been hired.
After looking around, Su Ruojin stopped and looked at Lin Zhengshan.
"Dr. Lin, it seems that Lord Lin is quite comfortable living in this house."
Upon hearing this, Lin Zhengshan's smile froze. Having lived here for so long, he had come to regard himself as the owner of this courtyard and had forgotten that Su Ruojin had paid for the rental for them.
When Zhao Jiao saw that it was Su Ruojin, her expression also turned sour, and her forced smile was tinged with nervousness.
Now that Su Ruojin is here, what if Qing'er sends someone to pick them up later?
However, given her current status, she couldn't possibly send Su Ruojin away, so she could only greet her with a forced smile.
"Your Highness, Xiao Jin, please come inside and sit down."
Yanlu snorted coldly from the side, "Madam Lin, the Princess's given name is not something that just anyone can call her."
Zhao Jiao was stunned for a moment, then clenched the handkerchief in her hand. No matter how uncomfortable she felt, she could only change her words immediately, "Yes, yes, I was wrong, Your Highness, Your Highness, please come in, please come in."
Su Ruojin did not go into the inner room, but looked at Lin Zhengshan and Zhao Jiao, "It seems that you two are recovering well."
Lin Zhengshan and Zhao Jiao exchanged a glance and quickly replied, "We have to thank the Princess for her superb medical skills, which saved our lives."
“Lord Lin, you seem quite surprised to see me. What, are you waiting for someone?” Su Ruojin sat down on a small stone bench in the courtyard.
"No, no, we have no relatives or friends in the capital, so why would anyone be waiting for us?" Lin Zhengshan replied, his eyes gleaming.
"Lord Lin, I've come to remind you..."
Just then, someone knocked on the door of the small courtyard house again.
Su Ruojin and Xiao Yanchu exchanged a glance, then quickly led Yanluo and Hu Qing into the house.
"Lord Lin, I suppose you know what to do. My men are watching." Xiao Yanchu casually tossed out these words as he entered the room.
Lin Zhengshan felt sweat pouring down his body.
He knew that these princes and the like all had secret guards who appeared and disappeared unpredictably. No one knew where they were, but they were indeed watching people's every move in the dark.
Lin Zhengshan had previously tried to signal the person to leave with his eyes, but now he didn't dare and could only silently pray that the person had knocked on the wrong door.
The door opened, and there stood two ordinary-looking men.
"Lord Lin, we are people sent by the Queen."
Lin Zhengshan's forehead began to sweat. The two men exchanged a glance and suddenly pushed Lin Zhengshan into the house.
Lin Zhengshan was caught off guard and was pushed so hard he almost fell to the ground.
He was about to say something when he saw the two men quickly close the door and then pull out knives.
Lin Zhengshan instantly realized that they were trying to assassinate him.
His first thought was that those same people had come again!
"Who are you? What do you want?"
