Not only Shen Ajiao couldn't stand it, but Lin Daiyu couldn't stand it either. She looked at Jin Qilin with a strange expression and hurriedly ordered someone to send Shi Xiangyun out.
Shi Xiangyun looked at the golden unicorn she couldn't give away and threw it hard to the ground. "What use are you? You can't do anything right!" she thought, getting angrier and angrier. She couldn't help but stomp her feet twice.
"Xiangyun, my little sister!"
"ah!"
Baoyu, please don't give up!
Shi Xiangyun dodged, carefully patting her chest where she had been startled. She needed to calm down, especially with Brother Baoyu!
He snorted coldly, turned around and called for a boat without looking back, then returned to shore.
Baoyu bent down and carefully picked up the dirty golden unicorn with a handkerchief, then blew on it. "Why doesn't my sister cherish this?"
I wiped it clean, placed it against my chest, gazed at the moonlight, and thought of the girls I had unintentionally met today—they were truly pure and innocent.
They were all friends of Lin Daiyu; no wonder they were as beautiful as celestial beings descended to earth.
How wonderful it would be if he could become their confidant! He would be willing to die right now!
Shen Ajiao shook her head. It seemed she should stay away from such people in the future, lest her innocence be in jeopardy. She hugged herself, feeling sorry for herself.
Lin Daiyu: Madam, don't be afraid, I'm here! Father, come quickly!
(Lin Ruhai: My dear daughter, hang in there, I'll be there soon!)
Shen Ajiao...
The next day, when Shen Ajiao and Lin Daiyu returned home from school, they saw someone pacing anxiously back and forth in the courtyard as soon as they entered the house.
Upon seeing Shen Ajiao and Lin Daiyu, he hurriedly went up to them and knelt down with a thud!
"Madam! Miss!"
What happened to Lin Ruhai?
Lin Daiyu…Father! ? ?
"Master! Master, he's..."
What's wrong with him?
[Ugh, what's with this person? Why are you creating this atmosphere at such a crucial time!]
[Reading Comprehension: At this moment, what is the meaning behind this person kneeling down and being so emotionally agitated?]
"The master is injured!"
[Oh my god, you finally said it! I was so anxious!]
[Wait, sir? You're injured?]
Lin Ruhai is injured??
"Tell me what happened!"
Lin Daiyu could no longer tolerate this person's tediousness. He was utterly useless and more likely to cause trouble than anything else. From now on, if anyone in the family reports like this, drag them out and slap them in the face first!
"The master originally intended to escort the first half-year's tax revenue to the capital by waterway, but..."
Lin Daiyu raised an eyebrow. "What? If you don't finish your sentence again, I'll drag you out and slap your mouth!"
The man shuddered...
"But on the way, they encountered river bandits who not only robbed the tax silver, but also... In order to protect the tax silver, the master fought with the river bandits, was injured, fell into the water, and is now missing!"
[Missing? Or dead?]
"We've found them!"
The servant slowly shook his head. Lin Daiyu gasped in surprise, her vision went black, and she fainted.
【Lin Baobao, you can't get hurt! What will I do if something happens to you?!】
Shen Ajiao was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. She ordered someone to fetch a doctor and calmed the servants down.
They summoned the messenger and questioned Lin Ruhai in detail about what had happened on the road.
"Have you searched along the way?"
"I've searched, but two days have passed. I'm afraid the master is in grave danger!" He had no choice but to send a message to his wife and daughter, so that he could be prepared.
"Where is the injury located?" As long as the vital areas are avoided, it shouldn't be a big deal. Hopefully, Lin Ruhai was just rescued by people along the way, and the news didn't get back in time.
"Left chest."
Shen Ajiao inwardly groaned, "No way, is Lin Ruhai really that unlucky?"
It looks like things are going badly for them!
Prepare for the worst!
Lin Daiyu had just opened her eyes when she heard Shen Ajiao say something about preparing for her funeral, and she was so shocked that she fainted again!
Upon waking up again, Lin Daiyu couldn't lie still for a moment. "Madam, I need to go find my father!"
Who should I contact?
What's wrong?
Are you still me?
"Madam, I need to go find my father." Lin Daiyu expressed her thoughts strongly once again. She needed to find her father, whose fate was uncertain. What if... what if... she could be with him in the end!
Shen Ajiao...
What's going on here??
"Here, put these on with me!"
Lin Daiyu stared blankly for a moment as she looked at the men's clothing that Shen Ajiao had thrown into her arms. She knew then that Madam was worried about her father!
Shen Ajiao chuckled and said, "Don't be silly!"
After much deliberation, she realized that if Lin Ruhai were truly dead, as his wife, she would likely face gossip if she simply reaped his wealth without contributing anything. If she were to go and make the trip, at least she could rightfully inherit from that other person…
Hehe, it's that guy...
You know it!
Hahaha!
...
Looking at the empty Lin family home, with only a few servants cleaning, Madam Wang was somewhat incredulous. Where were they?
That brat, doesn't she look down on her Baoyu?
Now that Lin Ruhai is dead, let's see who will support her now.
I'm afraid it was her wife who ran the fastest!
That's right, she came here today to kick someone when they're down.
But it seems like we came at the wrong time.
Where are they?
...
"Madam, is this appropriate for us?"
"Don't call me 'Madam,' call me 'Brother'!" Shen Ajiao took out her fan and tapped Lin Daiyu on the head. "Remember, your name is Lin An now, and my name is Shen Da!"
Lin Daiyu: Madam, if you don't know how to name someone, you can call me. I have a Chinese dictionary...
Lin An is still a name, but what is Shen Da's name?
But when you're out and about, you can't be so careful. All I can do now is silently pray that my father is safe and sound!
