The next day…
Taking advantage of Xiao Yelei’s morning court session, Yin Chujin threw a bag to Leng’er and pointed at the wall for her to climb over. Leng’er followed Yin Chujin’s previous instructions and reported her identity to Chief Steward Wang. She claimed to be Zhu’er’s cousin. Her parents had passed away and she came to seek refuge with Zhu’er, so she openly entered through the main entrance of the Xiao Manor.
At this moment, three women were busy around a small round table in Wuyuan.
“Princess, what if His Highness comes back from the morning court assembly and finds out?” Zhu’er asked worriedly while grinding ink.
Yin Chujin carefully observed the way Leng’er held the brush and studied it seriously. Then, she watched as Leng’er wrote with ease, her handwriting elegant. But no matter how she herself wrote, she couldn’t even recognize her own handwriting.
“I can’t do anything if he really wants to argue with a maid.” She did not stop writing and replied to Zhu’er softly. She was not worried.
Xiao Yelei had messed with her a lot, and she had learned to deal with it calmly.
“Oh.” Zhu’er nodded and carefully compared the words written by the princess and Leng’er. She could not help but mutter, “That’s strange. Both the princess and Leng’er have lost their memories. How can Leng’er remember both her martial arts and writing, but the princess has completely forgotten?”
Yin Chujin was speechless. She didn’t lose her memory, alright? Her soul was transmigrated from the modern era, so it would be strange if she could remember the past owner of her body. She didn’t believe that Leng’er had really lost her memory. When she was detoxifying her that night, she found that although there was a slight wound on her head, it wasn’t enough to cause her to lose her memory. She took Leng’er in because she subconsciously believed that she didn’t have any ill intentions and saw that she had nowhere to go. Although Wuyuan was a little desolate and dilapidated, it still seemed too deserted with only her and Zhu’er living there. It wasn’t bad to add some liveliness to it. Another reason was that she had a great use for her, such as being a teacher.
“Princess, I follow you all day long, but why don’t I know when you’ve met Leng’er?”
“Don’t ask so much about things you shouldn’t know. The more you know, the faster you die!” Yin Chujin scared the timid Zhu’er. As expected, she immediately covered her mouth.
“Ah… Yes, I won’t ask again.”
Yin Chujin glanced at her and continued to practice holding the brush and writing, but she was not satisfied.
“By the way, Zhu’er, who is the Xin’er that His Highness has been talking about? What grudge does she have with me?”
Zhu’er looked around the courtyard like a thief again. After confirming that there was no one around, she said softly, “Princess, if my news is correct, the Xin’er that His Highness is referring to is General Ye’s only daughter, Ye Xin. General Ye and Old Prince Xiao were both heroes who founded the country. I heard that Ye Xin and His Highness were childhood sweethearts. The two of them were very close and were about to discuss marriage, but… Princess, you didn’t allow it. For some reason, it was said that Miss Ye fell off the cliff and left a very deep scar on the left side of her face…”
As Yin Chujin listened, she practiced her calligraphy without batting an eyelid. However, her heart was racing.
“Xiao Yelei said that he wanted to take revenge for Ye Xin. Could it be that I was the one who disfigured her?”
Zhu’er quickly waved her hand. “Princess, in the past… although you were a little… unreasonable, you wouldn’t do such a harmful thing.”
Yin Chujin placed the last stroke of her calligraphy and compared it to Leng’er’s. She felt that it was too ugly. Shaking her head, she put down the brush and slowly stood up. She walked to the door and looked up at the parasol tree catkins floating in the courtyard. Her thoughts flew elsewhere.
“Princess, are you alright?”
“I’m fine…” Yin Chujin shook her head gently. “Zhu’er, do you think the palace, here or the outside is better?”
“Princess…”
“If you want to leave here, I can take you with me,” Leng’er suddenly said from behind her, scaring them both.
Yin Chujin shook her head with a smile. “Leave? Where can I go?” This time and space didn’t belong to her. It didn’t matter where she went. As long as Xiao Yelei didn’t provoke her, she actually liked this secluded corner.
In the next few days, Wuyuan seemed to have been forgotten by Prince Xiao’s Manor. Xiao Yelei did not find trouble with them anymore, and the servants still brought food for the three meals. Zhu’er also complained non-stop. Leng’er’s personality was a little similar to Yin Chujin’s. She ate the food that was difficult to swallow. Even if she was dissatisfied, she frowned and got over it.
During the day, Yin Chujin learned how to read and write from Leng’er. At night, she would make all kinds of medicine under the candlelight while they were asleep. However, there was a pair of eyes staring at her from behind. She knew that Leng’er knew what she was doing. With her personality, she would not take the initiative to ask. She did not mind letting Leng’er know about this. Anyway, she was the one who saved Leng’er from being poisoned. She naturally knew that she knew medicine.
