C68 Nan Gong Jin Arrived

Originally, he came because he heard about her performance in the palace. Now, it seemed that this woman was able to gain the recognition of the Queen and Crown Prince. It seemed that he had married the right person this time, and he had to grasp it well.

Nan Gong Jin, who was originally dissatisfied with this marriage, was now satisfied. To him, there was still a long way to go, and he was her fiance. He had plenty of opportunities to meet her.

Lin Ruo Yin lived a comfortable and peaceful life in the nunnery. Other than accompanying the old lady, she would read books in the house. Occasionally, she would go out with Hong Mei and Lv Yu. Unknowingly, three days had passed.

"Miss, it's so boring." Lv Yu pouted and complained. In fact, when she first came here, she felt that it was quite fresh and would often go to play with Xiao Bei. But after getting along with him, she realized that Xiao Bei was too boring, so she quickly gave up on the idea of going to him.

"Do you know that when you came here, you were so energetic? Now, you're the one calling it boring." Hong Mei liked to oppose Lv Yu, and she especially liked to see her anxious look. However, she could not tell what she was thinking.

Sure enough, Lv Yu became anxious and complained to Hong Mei in a low voice, "That was because they thought that they could go to the market. Who would have thought that they would stay in this nunnery all the time and see the most candles and people?"

Lin Ruo Yin flipped through another page of the book. She didn't seem to be listening to the two of them, but the smile on her face didn't seem to be the same. Lv Yu saw that Lin Ruo Yin was only focused on reading, so she sighed and said to Lin Ruo Yin, "Miss, there's no more tea. I'll go and make another pot for you."

Just as she finished speaking, Lv Yu's figure disappeared. Lin Ruo Yin glanced at her helplessly and then looked at the book in her hand.

Lv Yu originally wanted to go out and see if there was anything fun to sell, but just as she stepped out of the room, she bumped into someone. Just as she wanted to complain, she raised her head and saw a shy little nun.

She was so scared that she didn't dare to raise her head. She put her hands together and said, "Amitabha, I am so sorry for offending you."

"Ah, it's fine. You don't have to be like this. I didn't see the way." Lv Yu quickly shook her head and said, but she was still the same.

Feeling a little uneasy, she changed the topic, "Are you here to find my Miss?"

"That's right." The little nun lowered her head and asked, "May I ask if the Third Miss is here?"

Hearing that she was here to find her Miss, Lv Yu hurriedly reported to her and then led the little nun into the house.

Lin Ruo Yin, who was in the house, heard Lv Yu's words and put down the book. She walked out and saw the little nun. She smiled gently, "Is there anything you need from me?"

The little nun bowed to Lin Ruo Yin and said, "Someone is looking for Miss Lin Ruo Yin outside the nunnery."

Looking for me? Lin Ruo Yin really couldn't think of anyone who would come here to look for her, so she asked, "Did he say who it was?"

Hearing Lin Ruo Yin's question, the little nun's face flushed red, which puzzled the other three. Lv Yu couldn't help but ask, "Master, why are you blushing? My Miss is asking you a question."

"This... that benefactor... said..." The little nun suddenly closed her eyes and muttered a Buddhist chant before continuing, "That benefactor said that the Miss's fiancé is here. He said that no matter what, he must see Miss."

Fiancé? Lin Ruo Yin frowned in displeasure when she heard the little nun's words. This Nan Gong Jin had come here every day for the past three days. Every time she rejected him because she was sick, why was he still pestering her?

"Hong Mei, follow Master and tell the Third Prince that my illness has not recovered yet, so it's not suitable for him to meet me." After Lin Ruo Yin finished speaking, she entered the inner room and continued to read her book.

Hong Mei made a "please" gesture to the little nun, and the two of them left the room together. Lv Yu looked around and found that she was the only one left standing there foolishly. After thinking for a while, she followed Lin Ruo Yin into the inner room.

Without Lin Ruo Yin's presence, the Great Scholar's Mansion seemed to be a lot more peaceful. However, under this seemingly peaceful appearance, there was a bigger conspiracy quietly happening.

“Has Grand Lady been gone for a few days?” Lin Ruo Xi and Qing He were taking a stroll in the garden. They seemed to be asking casually, but in fact, they already had a plan in their minds.

Qing He calculated the days and replied, “Miss, she has been gone for three days. This is the fourth day.”

Lin Ruo Xi secretly praised her. It seemed that her plan was about to begin. Thinking about this, Lin Ruo Xi asked Qing He to go find Lin Ruo Yun’s personal maid, Cui Ping, and then she went back to her room.

Not long after, Qing He brought Cui Ping back. The moment Cui Ping saw Lin Ruo Xi, she knelt on the ground, “Cui Ping greets Eldest Miss.”

Lin Ruo Xi did not immediately respond. Instead, she picked up a cup of tea and opened the lid to taste the tea leaves. After drinking a mouthful, she looked at the person kneeling at the bottom of her feet and asked, “Cui Ping, how long have you been in the Academic House?”

Cui Ping did not raise her head and replied softly, "According to Eldest Miss, it has been thirteen years."

Thirteen years? It has been so long? Lin Ruo Xi silently asked herself. Yes, she was no longer the little girl from back then. Everything had changed. She only hoped that this person called Cui Ping did not change.

“Cui Ping, do you still remember how you entered the residence back then?” Lin Ruo Xi bent over and helped Cui Ping up, allowing her to speak.

Cui Ping nodded. Thinking about the past, tears could not help but flow down her eyes. She looked at Lin Ruo Xi gratefully.

Thirteen years ago, Lin Ruo Xi was still a naive little girl. She and Qing He grew up together, and they were as close as sisters. Lin Ruo Xi was very playful when she was young, and always wanted to go out. In the end, when Lin Fu Cheng went out to do some business, she brought Qing He and went out of the house, and came to the street.

The two little girls had never been to the street before, so they were naturally very curious about everything. They also didn't know that they had to pay for shopping, and they didn't have a single penny on them.

"What are you doing? Let me go!" Lin Ruo Xi shouted at the man who suddenly grabbed her. This person actually dared to use such dirty hands to touch her. It was really disgusting.

However, that person grabbed her tightly and refused to let go. He pointed at Lin Ruo Xi and Qing He and said maliciously, "I didn't expect you two to be dressed so well, but you actually didn't pay for shopping."

"What money? Let go of me, or I will tell my dad… Ah!" Before Lin Ruo Xi could finish her sentence, she was pulled by him, and his other hand was about to hit her.

Lin Ruo Xi knew what would happen next, so she simply closed her eyes. However, the pain she had expected did not come. When she opened her eyes, she saw a man grab the hand that was raised high up, and with a little strength, he let go of Lin Ruo Xi's hand. She quickly pulled Qing He behind the man.
