Chapter 16 The heroine is lost again
Chapter 16 The heroine is lost again
Lin Ruojin opened her cracked lips but couldn't utter a word.
Whether it was the screams of fear or the groans of pain, they were all stuck in the dry throat as if by glue.
"Miss! Who hurt you? Why are you so badly hurt?"
Behind the man, a middle-aged man with an untidy beard ran over and looked at the pale-faced Lin Ruojin lying on the bed with heartache.
Lin Ruojin recognized that this man was Lin Zhong, the steward of the Lin Mansion.
"Miss! Something happened at home again. Please go back with me!" Li Zhong hurriedly said to the people behind him: "Help the second young lady up quickly, and let's go back home."
As Li Zhong was speaking, the maid and servants behind him came over and worked in perfect harmony to support the weak Lin Ruojin.
The pain on her back became more obvious as they supported her. Her skin seemed to be splitting apart, and the scorching heat spreading to her limbs made Lin Ruojin gasp for air. She gasped for breath like a stranded fish.
And her embarrassing scene was seen by him, Chen Xuanling, the attendant of Tianshui Tower.
He pushed away the servant who was blocking his way and grabbed Lin Ruojin's slender and fair arm without any hesitation.
I don’t know if it was intentional, but he used a little more force with his hands.
Lin Ruojin's head banged, and the force on his arm...
It's so familiar.
in dreams,
He held her arms just like that, pinning her to the dirty ground with the same force, and humiliated her at will.
Lin Ruojin was shaking all over, terrified, and she resisted almost instantly: "Let me go! Let me go!"
Lin Zhong, Zhe Ye and others were all shocked.
"Chen Xuanling, what are you doing? My second young lady is seriously injured, how can she withstand such a torment? If there is anything, our master and his wife will explain it to the owner of Baili Tower! Shouldn't we find the eldest young lady first?"
Lin Zhong angrily tried to pry Xuan Ling's hands apart, but Zhe Ye looked at the chaotic surface and turned away without saying a word.
Lin Ruojin knew,
When there are many people around, he will never help himself and expose his strength.
Now she can only take one step at a time and deal with it carefully on her own.
The servants in the Lin Mansion were all quite loyal. They did not back down at all when facing Chen Xuanling. Among them, Lin Zhong defended Lin Ruojin without giving in.
"Let go! My second daughter hasn't even married yet, how can you be so presumptuous?"
Chen Xuanling glanced at Lin Zhong coldly. Although he was a man of few words, no one could refute what he said.
"An unmarried girl can come here?"
"You!" Lin Zhong was speechless.
As he spoke, Chen Xuanling picked up Lin Ruojin from the quilt and carried her sideways in his arms, and walked out the door without caring whether she was in pain or not.
When everyone saw this, they were unable to react for a moment. When they wanted to stop him, Chen Xuanling had already walked down the stairs carrying Lin Ruojin.
"What are you doing? Cough cough cough, let...let go..." Lin Ruojin was breathing weakly and coughing and gasping. She was unable to raise her head to hit the man's strong arms. She tried her best, but the soft force of hitting his body was like a kitten playing with him, with no sense of existence at all.
The man suddenly stopped, and used his arms to shake the soft body of the woman in his arms. Then, he looked at Lin Ruojin gritting her teeth and restraining herself with tearful eyes, and smiled coldly.
"Miss Lin Er, instead of struggling and resisting me, why don't you think about how to explain yesterday's incident to the host?"
Lin Ruojin was startled when he heard the words, and his frown relaxed instantly. Behind the two of them, Lin Zhong and his men hurried over.
"What...do you mean?" Lin Ruojin asked stutteringly.
"Madam, she disappeared yesterday."
disappeared?
Lin Ruojin couldn't believe it. Her chest felt tight and her heart tightened instantly.
How could Lin Ruofan disappear? Wasn't she asked to return to the Lin Mansion? Was she kidnapped on the way? Was it that Boss Jin who did it?
The plot of the novel had been tampered with by the two of them, and the current situation could no longer be predicted by her. Lin Ruojin stopped talking.
"You never get tired of playing the sisterly love drama~"
Suddenly, he uttered these words.
Lin Ruojin's breathing became short, and when she looked up, she met the man's teasing smile.
That look seemed to say: I have seen through everything about you, and I am the one who knows you best.
The scene in the dream, the smile and the figure of the person in front of her slowly overlapped perfectly in front of her eyes. A sense of fear from the bottom of her heart instantly surged over her. Seeing the man holding her and continuing to walk through the building, Lin Ruojin felt her scalp tingling.
"Let go, I don't want to leave! Where are you taking me, cough cough cough?"
"Tianshui Tower."
"Get lost! I won't go. Even if I want to go... ahem... I'll go by myself..."
Lin Ruojin struggled again.
However, before reaching the gate of Mirror Flower Water Moon Pavilion, Lin Ruojin suddenly felt a strong salty taste in his throat.
Next second,
Lin Ruojin frowned in pain, slightly arched her waist in the man's arms, and then a large amount of blood spurted out of her lips uncontrollably.
Lin Ruojin was in a daze and could only hear the terrified cries of the men and women behind her, while the man holding her in front of her remained silent.
Feeling the warmth from the edge of his lips sliding down his jaw and into the collar of his neck, Lin Ruojin used all his strength to say before he fainted:
"You are so insidious, boy!"
At this time, the Lin family.
Father Lin was pacing around in the hall anxiously, and from time to time he couldn't help sighing as he looked at the empty door.
Even more anxious was Lin's mother. She didn't see the two girls return until nightfall yesterday, and later she heard people from the Baili family coming to report that the eldest daughter was missing and the second daughter was seriously injured. She hadn't slept all night and was so anxious that she almost fainted.
"Master, what should we do if something happens to Jin'er..." Mother Lin wiped her tears with a handkerchief.
"You are only worried about Jin'er, not Xia Ruofan? If she goes missing, won't the Baili family be worried to death?"
"If your eldest daughter hadn't taken Jin'er out, how could something go wrong?"
"What did you say? I know Ruofan. She wouldn't even look at the door of a place like that when she passes by! But Jin'er has been spoiled by you, a woman!" Father Lin glared at Mother Lin who was crying uncontrollably, and defended Lin Ruofan with great dissatisfaction.
When Lin's mother heard this, she cried even harder: "Are you saying that Jin'er is wrong? She is seriously injured and unconscious. How can you, as a father, be so partial to her? You don't even care about our Jin'er. How old is she?"
"Alright, alright! There's no point in a woman talking too much. Damn it, why hasn't Lin Zhong come back yet?"
Father Lin was walking back and forth anxiously. At this time, Lin Zhong rushed into the gate with a group of people.
Seeing this, Lin's father, who always cared about his reputation, asked Lin's mother to pay attention to her image and went to meet her.
"What happened?" Father Lin asked, but he found that only Lin Zhong and the servants behind him had returned, and his daughter was nowhere to be seen. "Where are Jin'er and Ruofan?"
"Master! Our son-in-law has sent people to look for the eldest lady. Has the second lady been taken away by Zhao Xuanling, the guard of Tianshui Tower?"
"What? Why did he take Jin'er away?"
"I heard him say that it was the order from Lord Baili. Seeing that the Second Miss was still vomiting blood, I didn't dare to stop her easily, so I told them to take good care of her."
As soon as the words came out, Father Lin felt dizzy and his body swayed a few steps. Lin Zhong supported him in time and prevented him from falling to the ground.
"How could it be, how could it be, Jin'er, why do you always get into trouble?"
Father Lin was heartbroken. Looking at the sky outside which was gradually getting dark, he felt helpless.
In Tianshui Tower.
Lin Ruojin, who had been sleeping for a long time, slowly opened his dry eyes and looked at the unfamiliar environment around him.
Look at this,
Good guy.
Lin Ruojin said that it would be better not to wake up and not look. Why did she see the man sitting on the chair at the table in front of the bed, looking at her as soon as she opened her eyes?
"Awake?" The man's voice was steady and calm, but the temperature of his tone was extremely low.
Lin Ruojin stared at the silky and luxurious lavender bed curtains and took a few deep breaths, forcing herself to calm her accelerating heartbeat.
"Well...thank you brother-in-law for your help. Um...sister?"
"Missing. Disappeared on the way back to the Lin Mansion."
Lin Ruojin carefully discerned the meaning in the man's tone.
"Has my brother-in-law found any trace of my sister?"
Baili Shun was silent for a moment, tapping the table slowly and heavily with his slender fingers.
The atmosphere was so cold that Lin Ruojin's originally calm mood suddenly became tense again.
"Of course I found her. I have sent someone to pick her up. But before she comes back, can you tell me why one of you was seriously injured in the Mirror Flower Water Moon Pavilion, and the other appeared in the residence of the young master of the Phoenix Sect?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Ruojin on the bed opened her mouth in disbelief, and turned over, sitting up in shock as if she was dying in front of Baili Shun.
How did Wu Mingchen get involved?
Is the second male lead’s role important in terms of participation?
