By noon, Su Yunmo found an excuse to send Su Siyuan away and went to the East Courtyard without him.
Yesterday, Yu Ning had been frightened, and she was worried.
Although the person guarding the courtyard was already familiar with Su Yunmo, they still had to stop her.
Su Yunmo used a trick to knock him out and slipped into the East Courtyard, making her way to Lin Yu Ning's room.
Lin Yu Ning happened to not be at the mess hall today. Hearing movement outside, she came out to see and was slightly surprised to see Su Yunmo. She then invited her in.
"Thank you for yesterday," Lin Yu Ning's expression was very normal, completely recovered from yesterday's fright.
Su Yunmo felt relieved. Yu Ning was much stronger than before. If she had encountered such a thing before, she would have cried for several days. "It's good that you're alright."
The maid, Jiaobai, brought tea and chuckled, "The young lady of the General's Mansion is indeed different, speaking with the tone of an adult."
Su Yunmo also suddenly realized that she had been too careless in front of Yu Ning.
However, there was no other way. In front of others, she could act like a child, but she had been treating Yu Ning as an older sister for over ten years.
Su Yunmo wanted to change the subject, her gaze sweeping over the lucky knot on her waist: "It's very beautiful."
This lucky knot was bought the first time she took Yu Ning out. Although it wasn't a valuable item, she had always liked it.
It was also thanks to the lucky knot yesterday.
Lin Yu Ning's smile faltered slightly, and she said in a low voice, "If you like it, I'll give it to you. It's just a small trinket, nothing significant."
Su Yunmo was stunned for a moment, not understanding: "Give it to me?"
"Yes, it's not an important thing. I was going to throw it away anyway. Take it if you don't mind." She casually picked up scissors and cut off the lucky knot.
Su Yunmo took the lucky knot, and an inexplicable sourness welled up from the bottom of her heart, but she quickly suppressed it fiercely.
Seeing an object and thinking of the person was indeed sad. It was good that she took it away; she assumed Yu Ning thought the same.
Jiaobai dragged a box of things out from the inner room: "Miss, are all these to be thrown away?"
"Take them far away and burn them all," Lin Yu Ning's face was expressionless.
Su Yunmo glanced at the box; all those items were things she had given to her. Her hands subconsciously clenched.
"Is the Second Miss here?" a man's voice came from outside.
Jiaobai: "She's in the room."
Su Yunmo stiffened, her eyes reddening.
Big Brother!
Lin Chenxi entered in a light blue brocade robe, his clean and refreshing face always carrying a gentle smile.
"It's good that you're here. The mansion just sent a message asking you to return tonight. His Highness Prince Cheng will be coming."
"Okay," Lin Yu Ning replied softly, her expression unreadable, whether it was happiness or something else.
Lin Chenxi also noticed Su Yunmo's presence at this moment and simply smiled gently at her as a greeting: "I just came to tell you this. I'll leave since you're busy."
After Lin Chenxi left, Su Yunmo also found an excuse to leave and immediately ran out.
She caught up with him in the outer courtyard.
"Big..." Su Yunmo grabbed his hand, barely managing to swallow the last word, her voice extremely suppressed: "Brother, does your leg still hurt?"
Lin Chenxi was stunned, his expression bewildered.
Su Yunmo took a deep breath and forced a smile: "I know your sister. She told me."
Lin Chenxi's expression eased considerably, and he gently patted her head: "I know, but I didn't expect Yu Ning to tell you everything."
Su Yunmo leaned closer, enjoying the warmth she hadn't felt in a long time: "No, I'm talking about your other sister."
Lin Chenxi frowned, seeming suspicious: "Nian Ge?"
Su Yunmo nodded, her hand reaching into her sleeve, actually taking out medicine from the glazed lock: "She asked me to give this to you. You must take your medicine on time."
Before she died, she still had half a course of medicine left for her big brother. Although he could stand now, the condition wouldn't last long.
It had been over a month since she last stopped taking the medicine, at most two months. If she didn't take the last half course, he would return to his wheelchair.
Lin Chenxi's face turned cold. He straightened up and looked at her dismissively: "I don't know where you heard these words, but you shouldn't joke about the dead."
This was the first time Su Yunmo had seen him wear such an expression, and she was momentarily speechless.
Lin Chenxi then pulled his hand away and turned to leave.
"That's not what I meant!" Su Yunmo was a little anxious; she wasn't trying to trick him.
But Lin Chenxi didn't listen to her explanation and walked further and further away.
Su Yunmo went to chase him but bumped into someone. The feeling was not unfamiliar.
However, compared to the last time, the person she bumped into this time had a very soft body.
"Little Miss, I finally found you." Ziyuan excitedly pulled her away. Judging by her appearance, she must have been looking for Su Yunmo for a long time.
Su Yunmo looked into the distance; Lin Chenxi had already turned the corner and disappeared.
Damn it!
Su Yunmo cursed inwardly, shot Ziyuan an displeased glance, but had to soften her tone: "Is something wrong?"
"Little Miss, Master is not eating again." Ziyuan looked troubled.
Su Yunmo was speechless. Don't talk about her as if she were Ye Jingyu's exclusive medicine, okay?
If he doesn't eat, go find a doctor. What does it have to do with her?
"Then Sister Qianxue can coax Brother to eat. Mo Mo also needs to eat." Su Yunmo got up to leave.
She had figured it out these past two days. The Qianqing Gu only affected her mood and had no other impact.
In other words, as long as she had less contact with Ye Jingyu, it was harmless.
A determined look flashed in Qianxue's eyes. She slung Su Yunmo over her shoulder and strode towards the East Courtyard: "I'm sorry."
This task can probably only be done by you.
Su Yunmo: "???"
"Put me down!!"
Heart-wrenching!
When Su Yunmo was carried in front of Ye Jingyu, he was sitting at the dining table, glaring at a steamed fish.
Ye Jingyu saw her and frowned: "Why are you here again?"
His tone was very disdainful, not hiding it at all.
Su Yunmo's teeth itched with hatred. Did he think she liked coming here?!
"Your subordinate happened to meet the Little Miss, and the Little Miss said she missed Master and wanted to eat with Master."
Qianxue lifted Su Yunmo onto a chair, then thought about it, lifted her off the chair, and stuffed her into Ye Jingyu's arms.
With the heavy weight in his embrace, both of them tensed up.
Especially Su Yunmo, her face looked as ugly as if she had eaten a fly.
Ye Jingyu only felt slightly uncomfortable for a moment before returning to his usual self. Instead, he put his large hand around her waist and said with disdain, "Do you think I won't eat if I can't see? So much trouble."
Qianxue chimed in with agreement: "Yes, yes, children are just hard to coax."
Su Yunmo took a deep breath and glanced at the hand Ye Jingyu had placed around her waist.
Why did she suddenly have such a strong desire to gnaw on pig trotters?
Qianxue pushed the dishes onto a plate and shoved them in front of Su Yunmo, giving her meaningful glances: "Little Miss, aren't you hungry? Eat."
Su Yunmo glanced at her, said 'oh,' and scooped a large spoonful of rice into her mouth with a spoon.
Qianxue was a little anxious: "Eat together, it's delicious when eaten together."
Su Yunmo secretly rolled her eyes. She wasn't this brat's servant, why should she feed him?
A sense of inexplicable anxiety arose in her heart; it was indeed the feeling of wanting to jump into a river.
You damn scoundrel!
