Chapter 427 Back Row
Seeing Beigong You's bitter expression, Lin Miaoyin couldn't help but feel a little sympathy in her heart, and said softly, "It's okay, since you don't believe it, just let it go. With your current status and position, it's okay if you don't believe what they say."
When Beigong You heard this, the corners of his mouth unconsciously rose slightly, as if he was touched by these warm words.
However, Lin Miaoyin suddenly changed the subject, staring at Beigong You, and said slowly: "It's just that I always feel that this place is really unsafe. I think it's better to take Youan and Yuzhu out to find another place to live."
Beigong You's face darkened instantly, and his tone was full of unquestionable determination: "Hasn't this been said before? It's absolutely impossible!"
Lin Miaoyin wanted to say more, but Beigong You raised his hand to interrupt her: "I advise you to completely erase this idea from your mind. Otherwise, if this word gets to the ears of the princess, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to see You'an in the future!"
Lin Miaoyin heard a warning in his words, and her heart tightened. She retorted: "If the princess knew this, who else would tell her except you?"
The color on Beigong You's face instantly faded due to Lin Miaoyin's straightforward and sharp questioning, and his originally warm face now seemed to be covered with a layer of frost.
"You don't trust me that much?" Beigong You asked in a low voice, with a bit of loss and pain that was hard to conceal, "I thought that after spending so much time together, even if we can't be open-hearted, you should have at least some basic trust in me."
Lin Miaoyin met his gaze without flinching, and said firmly: "Of course I trust you! But in my heart, compared to Youan and Yuzhu, you really have to take a step back!"
A look of disappointment instantly emerged on Beigong You's face, and his shining eyes dimmed. He lowered his head slightly and pursed his lips, as if he was trying his best to suppress the surging emotions in his heart.
Seeing him like this, Lin Miaoyin didn't want to continue this unpleasant conversation for both parties, so she turned around, swung her skirt, and strode out of the house.
Shortly after she left, Feng Ming walked in hurriedly with a very serious expression on his face.
"Your Highness," he knelt on one knee and said in a deep voice, "I just discovered that this time, the palace bought a lot of extra hemostatic drugs!"
Beigong You's slightly frowned brows deepened upon hearing this, with a hint of doubt in his eyes: "Is anyone injured in the mansion?"
Feng Ming quickly raised his head and shook it, with a bit of speculation in his tone: "I have asked everyone in the mansion, and I didn't find anyone injured! So I boldly guess that if there is really a dungeon in the mansion, maybe someone in the dungeon was injured!"
Beigong You fell into deep thought. He slowly stood up and paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, his brows furrowed, with a myriad of thoughts in his mind.
Feng Ming carefully observed Beigong You's expression and asked tentatively: "My Lord, do you want to talk to the princess about this?"
After all, the mysterious Mr. Shen is most likely imprisoned in the dungeon.
Beigong You subconsciously wanted to nod his head in agreement, but suddenly the words that Lin Miaoyin had just said to him here emerged in his mind. Those words that put him behind Youan and Yuzhu without hesitation were like a thorn in his heart. His movements suddenly stopped, and a look of hesitation appeared on his face.
After a long silence, he slowly shook his head, his voice low but unquestionable: "Let's keep this secret from her for now!"
Before Feng Ming could ask, Beigong You continued, "Even Mai Dong's side was kept secret!"
Mai Dong is now responsible for protecting Youan and Yuzhu, and he has frequent contact with Lin Miaoyin on a daily basis. If Mai Dong knew about this, with Lin Miaoyin's intelligence, she might guess something from it, and things would probably become more complicated and difficult.
But Beigong You didn't expect that, despite all his precautions, he never thought that someone else would tell Miaoyin about this matter.
--
The dusk was deep and spread like ink, casting a depressing atmosphere over the entire courtyard.
Lin Miaoyin returned to the yard, her face as if covered by dark clouds, terribly gloomy.
Yuzhu, who serves her, has always been particularly sensitive to her mood changes.
Seeing Lin Miaoyin like this, Yuzhu hurriedly stepped forward, walked to her side, bowed slightly, and asked softly: "Miss, what's wrong with you? Did you have a conflict with the prince again?"
Lin Miaoyin bit her lower lip tightly, and seemed to be holding her breath, with her chest rising and falling slightly. Hearing Yuzhu's question, she sighed heavily and said, "I just made a suggestion to him, thinking of letting you and Youan live with me for a while. Let's find a quiet house without all those messy things to live in, it's that simple. It would be fine if he didn't agree, but he actually said that if the princess knew about this, it would be difficult for me to see Youan in the future!"
Lin Miaoyin became more and more excited as she spoke, her hands unconsciously clenched into fists, "Tell me, who else would tell the princess this except him? Isn't he threatening me?"
Yuzhu listened quietly to Lin Miaoyin's complaints, and looking at the young lady's red face, ripples arose in her heart.
She suddenly realized that compared to what Feng Ming said before, that the young lady was indifferent and stranger to the prince after she lost her memory, the young lady now had joy, anger, sorrow and happiness in her eyes, and no longer treated the prince as a complete stranger.
A trace of relief flashed in Yuzhu's eyes. After a moment's thought, she consoled him softly, "Miss, the prince has had a hard time in the past few years since you disappeared. It was only because of Master You'an that he felt that there was still hope in life and had the strength to continue to hold on. Now that you haven't recovered your memory yet, and you want to take away the prince's only hope in life, the prince must feel bad, and naturally he doesn't want to do it."
After hearing Yuzhu's words, Lin Miaoyin's body trembled slightly, and the anger on her face gradually faded away, replaced by a trace of bewilderment and confusion.
Lin Miaoyin's eyes were filled with worry and fear. She reached out eagerly and held Yuzhu's hand tightly, her voice trembling slightly: "Yuzhu, although I have lost my memory, there is always a voice in my heart warning me that if I stay with him, I will lose the people and things that are extremely precious in my life."
This was the first time she revealed her deep inner anxiety in front of Yuzhu, and her tone was filled with endless fear and helplessness.
"I have died twice. I really don't want to experience the pain of loss again. I don't want to lose anyone again. Can you understand how I feel?"
Yuzhu thought she was just worried about her safety, so she pursed her lips slightly and said firmly, "Miss, don't worry, I will always stay by your side and will never leave."
Lin Miaoyin pulled the corners of her mouth and forced a smile, but swallowed the words back. In fact, what worried her most was the mysterious and gloomy dungeon.
