Chapter 420: Ungrateful
Lin Miaoyin returned to the yard with a serious expression.
Chu Youan, who had been waiting in the yard, saw his mother coming back and immediately stepped forward and asked anxiously, "Mother, what happened?"
Yuzhu on the side also frowned, her eyes fixed on Lin Miaoyin.
Lin Miaoyin sighed softly, with a hint of helplessness and fatigue in her voice, and slowly said, "There's something wrong with Yu Lingxiu's legs. It's said that when the leg disease attacks, even walking normally will become a problem."
When Chu Youan heard this, his heart sank suddenly and a bad premonition came to his mind.
Before she could say anything, Lin Miaoyin continued, "She actually told the princess that it was me who did it."
Chu Youan's face darkened instantly, her pink cheeks full of anger and unwillingness. She knew that Yu Lingxiu would repay her kindness with hatred and bite her mother back.
"How could Yu Lingxiu be so ungrateful!"
Yuzhu on the side was so angry that she gnashed her teeth, clenched her fists, and said bitterly: "She is an ungrateful person! I should not have saved her that day. Anyway, I didn't get the answers I wanted to ask. It would be better to let her burn. Maybe her brain will be burned and she won't do such a ungrateful thing!"
Seeing Chu Youan's aggrieved and confused face, Lin Miaoyin gently comforted him, "Youan, this is a matter between adults, you don't have to take it to heart. And don't let this matter alienate you from the princess. She is in a high position and has many things to consider when doing things. Sometimes she seems ruthless, but in fact she is just following the normal process."
As he spoke, he raised his hand and gently touched Chu Youan's head. That gentle movement was like a spring breeze, blowing gently and making Chu Youan's originally tense heartstrings gradually relax.
After comforting Chu Youan, Lin Miaoyin took Yuzhu out of the house.
She frowned slightly and looked at Yuzhu beside her, her eyes full of doubts. She asked, "Yuzhu, have you ever heard that the princess had a disagreement with Yu Lingxiu's mother?"
Yuzhu stopped walking after hearing this, with a puzzled look on her face. She tilted her head and asked, "Miss, why are you asking this all of a sudden? I have never heard of this. Didn't you say before that they were close friends?"
Lin Miaoyin sighed slightly and said slowly: "When the princess questioned me just now, Yu Lingxiu was there. She seemed to want to let Yu Lingxiu know that she would not be partial to Yu Lingxiu in this matter. Based on their previous relationship, I thought the princess would definitely stand up for Yu Lingxiu."
Yuzhu thought for a moment and said tentatively, "Miss, could it be that because of Yu Lingxiu's plot against the young master, the princess no longer values her?"
Lin Miaoyin shook her head without hesitation and said affirmatively, "Impossible. If the princess really no longer values Yu Lingxiu, why would she come in person? She could just ask Nanny Wu to call me and Yu Lingxiu to confront each other face to face."
At this point, she paused, her eyes revealing a trace of thought, "The Princess's move must have a deeper meaning, but I just can't figure it out for the time being."
As they talked, they slowly paced in the courtyard. "Miss, what should we do now?" Yuzhu asked cautiously.
Lin Miaoyin stopped and looked up at the sky. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Don't make it public yet. We will observe the matter secretly. Since the princess has done this, there will surely be more actions in the future. We just need to do our own things and act according to circumstances."
Yuzhu nodded and said, "Miss, you are right, but if the princess really investigates, what will you do if those people offend you?"
Lin Miaoyin smiled slightly and said, "What if they investigate? Even if someone framed me, they can only trace it back to Beigong You. No matter how they investigate, it won't have anything to do with me."
After saying that, she patted Yuzhu's shoulder gently, and the two of them walked towards their residence.
After returning to her residence, Lin Miaoyin sat in front of the window with a book in her hands, but her mind was not on the book at all.
Her mind kept coming back to what happened in the eldest princess' courtyard.
After thinking for a long time, she suddenly remembered something. She had previously suspected that Yu Lingxiu had gout, but later she forgot about it because of the eldest princess's aggressiveness.
Now that she thought about it, everything Yu Lingxiu ate and drank at home was no different from what they had. Moreover, if the mansion needed seafood, it would definitely be sent to Youan and Beigong You, but she had never seen it once.
After thinking about it, Lin Miaoyin walked towards Beigong You's room.
As soon as she entered the room, she saw the scar that had already healed. She paused, remembering how she had been rude to this man before. Now, watching him struggling to change the dressing, she pursed her lips and stepped forward, whispering, "Let me do it!"
Lin Miaoyin lowered her head and concentrated on applying the ointment for him.
Beigong You's eyes were always on her face. Looking at her slightly furrowed brows and her lips slightly pouting because of concentration, a different feeling surged in his heart.
Taking the medicine from Beigong You, Lin Miaoyin asked casually, "Where's Feng Ming? Wouldn't it be more appropriate for him to do things like changing the medicine?"
Beigong You looked calm and said softly, "I asked him to do something. Besides, my injury has almost healed, so I don't need to be so careful."
Having said that, he had no intention of taking his hand back, allowing Lin Miaoyin to continue changing the bandage for him, enjoying this moment of intimacy.
After Lin Miaoyin skillfully replaced the medicine, she raised her head, looked at Beigong You with concern, and asked softly, "Have you eaten any seafood or other food recently?"
Beigong You was slightly startled, then smiled gently and said, "Since I was injured, the family has been preparing light meals for me, and I have never had seafood. Why do you suddenly ask this? Do you want to eat fish and shrimp? If you want, I will tell the servants to make it."
Lin Miaoyin shook her head slightly, her expression becoming a little serious, and explained: "The princess told me that Yu Lingxiu suffered from a leg disease. I suspected that this leg disease might be related to eating too much seafood, so I came to ask you."
Beigong You frowned slightly, his eyes full of confusion, and asked: "She has a leg disease, why did the princess ask you?"
Lin Miaoyin hesitated for a moment, but still told Beigong You everything about how she had discovered Yu Lingxiu had a high fever and was unconscious, and how she had treated her.
After listening to her, Beigong You instantly understood what she meant, and his face darkened slightly, "Don't worry about this matter anymore, I will talk to the princess. You just need to do your own thing and don't get involved in these complicated matters."
At this time, on the other side of the Marquis' Mansion, Yu Lingxiu was sitting in her room, thinking back to what happened during the day. Her heart was also full of confusion and unwillingness. A silent contest seemed to have just begun.
