Yi Xin as a concubine

Chapter 133 Brother Chen, go back, I’m sleepy!

"I have finally risen from the ashes and lived like this today. Why do you think that I should be grateful to you for forcing those shackles that do not belong to me on me?"

"I feel your loyalty, but it has nothing to do with me. A forced melon is not sweet. From today on, just pretend that you have never found me. Just be well!"

Xin Baoer's harsh words completely stunned everyone in the room. Not until Xin Baoer's back disappeared from their sight did Butler Lin react and quickly called for people to chase after her.

Xin Baoer and Wei Yu were hurrying along, and when they were about to meet Chu Xingchen and the others, she lost her balance and fell forward. Just as she was about to make close contact with the ground, she felt dizzy and fell into a cold embrace.

"Be careful!"

The moment Chu Xingchen caught the person, the admiration in his eyes that had not yet faded turned into traces of heartache.

It turned out that all her eloquence and ease were just an act. Her sweaty back showed her nervousness and fear at the time. She should have been a delicate flower kept in a greenhouse, enjoying the warmest sunshine and the most gentle and meticulous care, but now because of him she has fallen into the mire of this troubled world and is struggling to survive.

He took off his coat and wrapped the little girl tightly, his eyes hidden in the dark night were filled with tenderness and pity.

"Do you still have the strength? I'll carry you, okay?" The voice was gentle and soft, with a hint of tentativeness, but it was not annoying, and instead felt very heartwarming.

Xin Baoer nodded. Her legs had been sore and weak after holding on for so long. If she hadn't been afraid of venting her anger and not being able to suppress those people, she would have collapsed on the chair, motionless.

Xin Baoer didn't really not want to take revenge. Although she was no longer the original owner, she still understood the original owner's temperament. Although she was more timid than anyone else, she had read a lot of books and had the pedantry of a scholar. If she knew her own life experience, she would definitely take on this burden without hesitation.

Naturally, she wanted to help her fulfill her wish. After all, she had taken over her identity and enjoyed so much warmth.

But the original owner could let Steward Lin and others lead her by the nose, but she couldn't.

She still has favors to repay and the Xin family to protect. There are so many people who are good to her in this life. She must become strong, transform from a bird in a cage to an eagle in the sky, and protect all the people she wants to protect.

She has to decide her own path, and no one can control her.

Even though she knew how difficult it was, even though she still just wanted to live in peace in a corner, growing vegetables and flowers.

Chu Xingchen picked up the person easily and winked at Wangchuan and Wei Yu. The two understood and protected the two masters in the middle, one in front and one behind. The four of them walked towards the tunnel entrance together.

Not long after they walked out, Steward Lin and his group blocked the way forward, panting.

"Young Master, I was wrong. Please forgive me this time. From now on, I will follow your lead and never have second thoughts."

Xin Baoer lay peacefully in Chu Xingchen's arms, looking down at them. There were no torches outside, so she couldn't see everyone's expressions, but even by feeling, Xin Baoer could sense that some of them were dissatisfied.

She patted Chu Xingchen's arm gently, motioning him to put her down. Chu Xingchen hesitated for a moment before carefully putting her down. Knowing that she must have no strength at the moment, he put his arm around her waist and let her stand against him.

Xin Baoer smiled gratefully, and when she looked at the kneeling people, her face tense, she said, "I'm tired today, and I don't want to bother with you any more. Let me give you the right to choose. You will still be here in three days. If you are willing to follow me and obey me, come with your sincerity. If you don't want to come, I will give you a resettlement allowance later, and you can leave Kyoto and live a good life in the future. This will not let you down for your loyalty to the master over the years."

After saying that, she no longer cared about the reactions of the crowd, turned to the man behind her and said softly: "Brother Chen, go back, I'm sleepy."

The call of "Brother Chen" made the man's body numb. He didn't know where to put his hands. It was only after Wei Yu coughed that he regained his sense of running away from home. He picked up the man and continued walking forward.

"Oh, what's going on?" With the help of Ling Niang, Butler Lin stood up tremblingly, with a look of regret and annoyance on his face.

"Dad, this is not your fault. It's all my daughter's fault. Three days later, I will kowtow to the young master and apologize. As long as I can win her forgiveness, I will give her my life as compensation."

Ling Niang's expression was indifferent and her tone was cold and hard, and one could tell at a glance that there was no remorse in her words.

Manager Lin couldn't help but shake his head again. If she were asked to apologize in this state, there would be no room for maneuver.

"Alright, everyone go back. You've heard what the young master said. Think it over carefully!"

The old man seemed very tired, and his steps were heavy.

"Alas, there is nothing to think about. If the young master wants to help the grandson of Emperor Chu to restore the country, he must confront the thief Ning. It's the same end!" said a big shopkeeper, rubbing his knees and looking sad.

"That's true," he said, and several people nodded in agreement.

But there were still a few people who disagreed. They just muttered a few words with disdain but did not refute out loud.

Manager Lin looked back at the two clearly separated groups of people, shook his head, said nothing, but his steps became heavier.

Ling Niang felt uncomfortable seeing her father like this, but she was determined to seek revenge and didn't want to be distracted by anyone or anything that would slow down her revenge.

A group of people came to the meeting with great ambitions, but left with dejected looks. They had some complaints about the girl who seemed weak but was actually very opinionated and acted decisively. However, the concept of hierarchy was deeply rooted in their hearts and they dared not tell others.

Xin Baoer was carried all the way back to the room by Chu Xingchen in a sling. She was already very sleepy and fell asleep almost as soon as she touched the kang.

Even after Wei Yu wiped her body and changed her clothes, she was still not awake.

The next day, when it was bright, Xin Baoer slowly woke up, moved her body which seemed to be falling apart, and cried out in pain twice.

"Girl, you finally woke up. Didn't you sleep well last night? I couldn't wake you up no matter how I called you in the morning. I thought you were not feeling well." Lancao came in with a basin of water and asked with a chuckle.

Xin Baoer struggled to get up and found that her clothes had been changed. Thinking that it must be Ayu who took care of her, she did not answer Lancao's three questions and said, "I'm hungry. Is there anything to eat?"

"There's chicken porridge on the stove for you. Please wash up first and I'll bring it to you."

Xin Baoer nodded and moved her sore legs to wash up.

After washing up, Lancao had already prepared breakfast, including two plates of pickles, a bowl of porridge, and a small plate of steamed rice cake. The quantities were not much, just enough for Xin Baoer.

While eating, Xin Baoer asked, "Why is the courtyard so quiet today? Where are they?"

"Miss, have you forgotten that yesterday you asked them to find a training ground, clean up the open space at the door, and collect firewood for heating the kang?" Lancao was making the bed for Xin Baoer, and replied without raising her head.

After a while, the girl responded and added, "If you are okay later, I will go over to help you."

Xin Baoer nodded indifferently and hummed "hmm" without any interest.

"Girl, are you feeling unwell somewhere? Why do you look a little down?" After cleaning up, Lancao walked over and looked at Xin Baoer carefully for a while, and asked with concern.

"Nothing, I probably slept too much. I have to exercise with Wei Yu and the others tomorrow. My body is too weak."

Thinking that he didn't walk much last night and spent most of the time hanging on Chu Xingchen, and ended up waking up feeling sore all over, he felt a little disappointed with himself.

"By the way, go get me some paper and cut it into book size. I'll need it later."

"Also, when you are tidying up the garden, if you see suitable wood, bring me one or two, preferably the kind that is easy to write on."

Thinking that Chu Xingchen had put in a lot of effort last night, she knew how to repay a favor, so naturally she had to express her gratitude. Since he had asked her to help teach the child before, she would reluctantly prepare some teaching aids for him.
