C11 Stratagem

Under the window sill, there was a large water tank, about 1.5 meters tall. On the water tank, there was a round wooden lid, the color of the water was dull and coarse, and the edge of the water tank was sprinkled with water, giving off a dirty feeling.

Next to the water vat were two buckets. One of them was squatting next to a man. As Lin Xin'er approached, she saw that Lin Shucheng was washing his face with a wooden bucket.

"Second brother, where did you go yesterday?"

Lin Shucheng shook the water off his hands and took out a handkerchief from his sleeves. He wiped his wet face clean and then looked up at Lin Xin'er, smiling mischievously as he said, "Of course I'm doing good things. Little sister, you want to know?"

Haha, Lin Xin'er dryly laughed twice and said: "I don't want to know."

"It's such a good thing. It's such a pity that you don't know." Lin Shucheng shook his head. Pointing to the wooden bucket, he said, "Quickly pour the dirty water out of the bucket."

In the Lin Family, the Zhao Family's mother and daughter were like servants. All the dirty work was done by them, and the rest of the Lin Family's servants also casually ordered them to be treated as servants.

Lin Xin'er smiled as she picked up the wooden bucket and violently threw it at Lin Shucheng's feet. She scared Lin Shucheng so much that he jumped up and shouted, "Little girl, you're going crazy!"

"If second brother asks me to pour the water, then I'll pour the water. What did I do wrong?" Lin Xin'er asked innocently with her big eyes.

Lin Shucheng, who was only concerned with patting his shoes, coldly snorted and said, "You did it on purpose. My shoes are even more valuable than your life. Get the hell away from me."

Lin Xin'er looked at the new shoes on Lin Shucheng's feet. Was it from Juan'er yesterday? With this plan in his mind, he picked up the two buckets and pretended to be afraid as he ran away.

Walking out of the Lin Clan's courtyard.

On the bumpy dirt road, high and low mud houses, and inside the short and short walls, there were messy sounds. A light breeze blew past, and the fragrance of vegetables flowed out of the nose of an unknown family member.

Lin Xin'er took a deep breath. Relying on the memories of her original body, she walked out of Juan'er's house. The worn-out wooden door was wide open, and no sound came out from within the courtyard.

Lin Xin'er put down the wooden bucket in her hands and leaned against the door. She stretched out her neck to peek inside.

Juan'er, who was carrying food out of the woodshed, saw a small head wagging by the door and shouted, "Who is it? "If there's anything, come into the courtyard and let's talk."

"Auntie, it's me." Lin Xin'er entered the courtyard and said with slight nervousness, "I want to find an elder sister Juan'er. I wonder if she is at home?"

"Your Juan'er's family is in the house, what business do you have with Jun'er?" Juan'er called out at the top of her lungs, "Juan'er, the youngest daughter of Third Aunt has come to find you."

A young girl's voice came from inside the room, and the door immediately opened. Juan'er, who was still in shock, looked at Lin Xin'er and asked, "What did you come to me for?"

Lin Xin'er slept and did not speak.

Juan'er understood that there were some things that should not be said in front of everyone, and was afraid that it was only Shucheng who had given her an explanation. She hurriedly walked to Lin Xin'er's side and held her hand as they walked out of the courtyard.

"What's the matter? Why are you doing this? What's so shameful about it?" Juan'er coldly said.

Juan'er turned her head and said, "This girl might have something to ask me. It would be more convenient for me to go out with her. What's the point of asking her about your food?"

Juan'er rolled her eyes, turned around and carried the dish into the house.

Xiao Chen pulled Lin Xin'er to the entrance of the courtyard. Throwing away Lin Xin'er's hand, he asked in a low voice, "Why have you come here?"

"Sister Juan'er, I accidentally dirtied Brother Shu Cheng's shoes and pissed off Brother Shu Cheng by saying that my life is not worth his shoes." Seeing that a smile had appeared on Jun'er's face, she continued to speak, "Good older sister, I know that you must have made those shoes yourself and given them to Big Brother Shu Cheng. Besides that, Big Brother Shu Cheng definitely wouldn't say that a pair of shoes is more valuable than my life."

"Isn't it just a pair of shoes? I hurried to make another pair for him, and look at him carefully. Sooner or later, he actually treated my things as treasures, but his words were always straightforward and did not have any twists or turns. Little Sister Xin'er is angry, and deliberately came to find me for an explanation?" Juan'er's face turned cold.

"I don't think so." Lin Xin'er hurriedly shook her head. Seeing that the expression on Jun'er's face had calmed down a bit, she said softly, "I am worried for Big Brother Shu Cheng. I know that Big Brother Shu Cheng only likes Big Sister Juan'er, but Uncle actually dislikes Big Brother Shu Cheng's heart and forced him to marry the Niu family's second daughter. This has caused Big Brother Shu Cheng to be depressed and unhappy. Relying on the fortune of the Niu family, how could your daughter worry about marrying? Why did she have to marry Brother Shucheng? Isn't it because Brother Shucheng likes her? If she could become an official in the future, the Niu family's second daughter would become an official's wife. "

Juan'er gritted her teeth and said angrily, "That Niu family is kind and worried, relying on their small fortune to force the marriage. That Niu family's second daughter is extremely ugly, even if she disagrees, she can't afford to offend them. She only wants to achieve success in the book; a toad wants to eat swan meat."

"Why didn't elder sister help Brother Shu Cheng?" Lin Xin'er asked with a puzzled expression.

"How can I help? If only I had a way, who would be able to accomplish something that even Shu Cheng couldn't? " Juan'er said angrily.

Because of your filial piety, Big Brother Shu Cheng cannot go against Big Uncle's wishes, but Big Sister Jun'er can do it. Before that, Big Sister Juan'er must not tell Big Brother Shu Cheng that if Big Brother Shu Cheng knows about it and blocks or not, that would not be his fault. If Big Brother Shu Cheng doesn't know about it, that wouldn't be his fault.

"Enough, stop keeping me in suspense. Hurry up and tell me what to do." Juan'er urged. In her heart, she had already determined that Lin Xin'er had been entrusted by Lin Shucheng to come here, and that the words she had spoken were also from the book itself. Since the book could not be seen, she naturally would not reveal any of the meanings behind it.

"Sister Juan'er, I want you to personally go to the village and visit the Niu Family's Second Miss. Kneel in front of her and beg her to give your child a chance to live. Tell her that the child in your womb belongs to Brother Cheng. If Miss Niu wants to marry the Niu Family's Second Miss, the Niu Family will not agree to it." Lin Xin'er glanced at Juan'er's stomach and said.

Lin Jun'er stared at him and said, "This is crazy, can't they beat me out?"

"Big Sister Juan'er is carrying her body. Who would dare to hit you? She couldn't bear to see her child become a wolf, so she gave up her face to form a marriage alliance. In the future, when Big Brother Shu Cheng became an official, Juan'Er would become an official. If Juan'er didn't want to give up her face, she could only watch as Shucheng's elder brother married the Niu family's second young miss, handing over his wealth and fortune to the Niu family's second young miss. Sister Juan'er has only lived in the village for her entire life. Lin Xin'er added fuel to the fire as she spoke.

Juan'er pondered for a moment before a sinister light flashed through her eyes. Gritting her teeth, she said, "Tell Shu Cheng that I'll go to town immediately."

"Big Sister Juan'er, this is something that Big Brother Shu Cheng didn't know about. Big Sister Juan'er is going to be buried in his stomach for the rest of his life. If Brother Shu Cheng were to find out, then the unfilial matter would cause him to feel uneasy for the rest of his life." Lin Xin'er reminded him.

Juan'er looked at Lin Xin'er doubtfully and said with a dignified tone, "He really doesn't know?"

"I really don't know. I was just looking at Big Brother Shucheng and Big Sister Juan'er, having a lover and not being able to enjoy a family. That's why I was so anxious, so I came running over to tell Big Sister Juan'er all this nonsense, hoping that Big Sister Jun'er would protect my secret. If Uncle found out, I'd definitely be beaten to death. If I was kind enough to make Big Sister Juan'er happy, even if I had to beat her to death, I'd admit it." Lin Xin'er said with a sobbing tone.

Juan'er was actually a little touched by Lin Xin'er's words. She raised her hand to rub Lin Xin'er's head and said, "What a good child. It's been hard on you." When I marry you in the future, I will definitely not let you down. I will definitely not let others know about this matter. "

"Sister Juan'er, you must also ask the Niu family to keep your secret and let Uncle and Aunt Niu know that you personally went to the Niu family." Sister Juan'er, you must request the Niu family to keep your secret and let Uncle and Aunt Niu know that you personally went to the Niu family. Lin Xin'er had a 'good' appearance as she continued to come up with ideas. This was her personality. She was not a gentleman if she did not take revenge for her enmity. She never had the word 'swallow down her anger'.

After Lin Xin'er said a few words, Juan'er understood and hugged Lin Xin'er excitedly. "My good sister, you are the only one who thinks for me, in the end, I am still a fortunate man. Don't worry, I will definitely not let you down, Sister Juan'er.

"Sister Juan'er, go and return quickly. You can't let a third person know of this matter. Today, I had ordered the Niu Clan to withdraw their engagement. I only need to stay at home and wait for Brother Shu Cheng to propose." Lin Xin'er smiled.

Juan'er hurriedly pushed Lin Xin'er away and said in a flustered manner, "Good little sister, you go back to work. I'll go now." Without waiting for Lin Xin'er's reply, he turned around and ran back into his own house.

Satisfied, Lin Xin'er walked out of Juan'er's courtyard. Carrying the two buckets by the front door, she walked towards the well at the western end of the village. Yesterday, Lin Shucheng had been found by his family.

Because of the well, they were afraid that Lin Shucheng would fall into it.

At the edge of the well, a group of children, mostly boys, were carrying buckets. They were chattering away, and as soon as someone finished carrying the buckets, someone immediately squeezed through them.

Lin Xin'er looked up at the tall platform, her eyes unconsciously looking at the ground. Although there was some water, it had all been absorbed into the soil and turned into mud. Yesterday, how could she have slipped and fallen into the well?

Walking at the back of the crowd, she put down the wooden bucket and quietly waited for everyone to carry the bucket full of water away. After walking to the edge of the well, she stuck her head forward and stared at the water in the well that was two meters away from her.

"Yesterday, you fell into the well in such a manner. Do you still want to fall into the well today?" A melodious voice of a youth rang out.

She turned around and saw a young man standing a step away from her. He had delicate facial features, a fair complexion, and was dressed in a white robe. Although it was just an ordinary coarse fabric, he exuded an aura of luxury.

"You saw me fall with your own eyes?" Lin Xin'er asked.

The young man seemed not to have heard her words as he carried the wooden bucket over to her. He took out a long rope from the wooden bucket and tied one end of the rope with a piece of iron the size of a palm.

A bucket of water was brought out from the well, but the young master didn't leave. He poured the water from the bucket into Lin Xin'er's old bucket, and once again sank it into the bottom of the well.

"Yesterday, I was pushed down the well by Big Sister Guo'er. Since you've seen it, why didn't you help me seek justice?" Lin Xin'er probed.

She didn't know how she fell into the well, so she could only assume that she was pushed into the well. She only knew that Lin Guo'er had come to the well with her to carry water, and the first person she suspected was Lin Guo'er.

The youth didn't answer and just took another bucket of water from the well and poured it into Lin Xin'er's other bucket. He smiled and said, "Since two of the buckets are full, you can go back now."

"I asked you a question, why didn't you answer?" Lin Xin'er asked.

The young man lowered his head, sinking the wooden bucket into the well. His eyes flashed with sadness, "You can't do justice yourself, so why ask others? In this world, it wasn't just you who said it. If there was someone who believed it, it wasn't you who was right or wrong. Perhaps the one who was punished in the end was the one who was injured instead. Rather than thinking about who will harm you, it would be better to become enormous so that no one will dare to harm you again. "

"I understand." Lin Xin'er replied.

Lin Xin'er picked up the wooden bucket and turned around. Before she left, she still wanted to know the youth's name, so she asked, "What is your name?"

"Prince Xuan."
