Yi Xin as a concubine

Chapter 217 1 will definitely come back

Chu Xingchen sat there for a long time before taking the next step. His expression was calm and his movements were smooth, as if he was reading an ordinary letter.

"Xingchen, the situation is difficult, and we need some external force to break it. Do you remember our previous layout? We have already secured the right time and the right location, and all we need is for me to go there.

I once said that I would not let you worry about money. Now I have to overcome all obstacles to fulfill my promise. Please bless me!

The higher you stand, the more you can see the fickleness of human nature in this world. So don't be discouraged.

There is always a group of people who may be a little ignorant and realistic, but they will remember all the good things you have done for them. They are easily satisfied and all they want in their life is a house to live in and three meals a day.

I remember you once said that your biggest wish when you were wandering outside was that there would be no more people starving or freezing to death in this world. Now you can finally let go and fulfill your wish. I hope your wish will come true soon.

Don't worry or look for me, please take care of yourself! "

The letter was not long. It seemed to explain the destination, but it actually said nothing. Chu Xingchen carefully stroked the letter paper over and over again, with a calm look in his eyes.

He did not look at the stack of neatly bound booklets. He put the letter back into the envelope and put it close to his body. He stood up and walked to the table. He picked up the chopsticks and tasted each dish carefully. He did not put down his chopsticks and stood up until he had finished most of the food.

"Forget the River."

Wangchuan had been standing outside the door, feeling uneasy all the time, fearing that his master would be sad and that he would be punished. He didn't even feel the pain of the cold wind blowing on his face.

When he heard his master calling him, he didn't even care about his frozen hands and feet, and hurriedly pushed the door open and entered the house.

"Master, what do you want me to do?" Wangchuan asked in a more respectful voice than before, with a careful and cautious attitude.

When Chu Xingchen heard his subordinate's reaction, he knew that he had known about this for a long time, but he did not feel any anger. He just felt weak all over, as if his soul had been sucked out, and he felt numb.

"Clear the table. I'll rest here tonight."

The voice was low and no one could tell whether he was happy or angry. Wangchuan did not dare to look up at his master's expression at this time. His hands and feet, which had just warmed up, felt a little numb, but he did not dare to be negligent. He endured the sour feeling, packed up his things quickly, and backed out of the room.

The moment the door was closed, Wangchuan let out a long sigh. He felt that the air in the room was very thin. If he stayed any longer, he would suffocate to death.

The room became quiet again. Chu Xingchen returned to his desk and sat down. In the dim candlelight, he flipped through the books one after another. He read very quickly, as if he was completing a reading assignment.

Time passed by unknowingly, the night grew deeper and deeper, only a little wick was left in the candle, and the sky was already turning gray.

Chu Xingchen slowly picked up the last booklet and moved his stiff body. His fingers were frozen and numb. Turning each page was a torture, but he just continued to read with an unchanged expression.

"Master, it's time to go back. The adults should have arrived."

Wangchuan knocked on the door gently, with obvious red bloodshot in his eyes. He did not sleep all night last night and stayed guarding the outer room of Chu Xingchen's bedroom, fearing that something might happen to his master and he would not be able to get there in time.

Chu Xingchen's eyes moved when he heard this. He looked at the few pages of the book in his hand, but did not reply and continued to read word by word.

Wangchuan was not sure whether Chu Xingchen had woken up or not. After waiting for a while, he continued to knock on the door.

This time Chu Xingchen had finished reading the book in his hand. When he heard the knock on the door, he slowly put down the book and said, "Come in!"

Chu Xingchen was startled when the voice came out, because he hadn't spoken for a long time, his voice was hoarse and low, and the people outside the door couldn't hear it at all.

Hearing Wangchuan knocking on the door again, she knew he was anxious, so she could only stand up, endure the numbness and pain in her legs, slowly move to the door, and slowly open it.

"Master, you?" Wangchuan was startled by the door suddenly opening, but when he looked up, he saw that his master, who was so high-spirited yesterday, now looked haggard and decadent.

"Nothing. Prepare some hot water. I need to wash up." When he spoke, his voice was better than before, but still very dry and hoarse.

Wangchuan didn’t know what his master had experienced that night, but he felt sorry for his master, so he turned around and went to the kitchen.

Lancao and the other two were already up. It was the first day the yard was so deserted and they were not used to it. They woke up early and saw that the light was still on in the master bedroom. They knew that the man of the house was still there, so they spontaneously went to the kitchen to busy themselves.

When Wangchuan came in, Mother Lin had already prepared the hot water, and the three of them were chatting and making breakfast together.

"Go wash up first. Breakfast will be ready soon. Let the second master wait for a moment." Mother Lin handed over the water and said.

"Thank you, mom." Wangchuan responded quickly with a smile.

Wangchuan had great respect for this old lady. Since she came, the mending work for them had been solved. She was also very kind and amiable. Most importantly, Xin Baoer liked her, so naturally no one dared to neglect her.

Thinking of this, Wangchuan's eyes became eager when he looked at Mother Lin. He pulled her aside mysteriously and asked in a low voice.

"Well, mom, please bring me some food later!"

"Well, kid, what's the big deal? I'll just go. It's not like I haven't done that before." Mother Lin waved her hand indifferently and went back to the stove to busy herself.

After getting Mother Jin's consent, Wangchuan felt relieved and went out with the water. He had selfish motives and simple thoughts. He thought that Madam Xin was very filial to the wet nurse. If the master saw that she was still alive, he would know that Madam Xin would not be gone for long, which would at least be a comfort to him.

Breakfast was ready quickly. Mother Lin didn’t think much about it and went to the master bedroom. It was Wangchuan who opened the door.

"Mom, you're here, come in." Wangchuan invited her in warmly.

Mother Lin immediately smiled kindly. She had no children of her own, so she was especially gentle to the younger ones around her.

Chu Xingchen had already packed up and was sitting at the table waiting, but his mental state was still not very good.

"Second Master, come and eat something first. I heard from Wangchuan that you drank a lot of wine yesterday. Try to eat light food these days to nourish your stomach."

Mother Lin was a perceptive person. She knew Chu Xingchen was not in a good mood as soon as she saw his expression. Thinking that her own girl had been so cruel to abandon him, she felt a little sorry for him and spoke softly.

When Chu Xingchen heard Mother Lin talking, he seemed to have just realized that the person who entered the room was her, and a glimmer of hope flashed across his eyes.

"Mom, you didn't leave?"

"Yes, I'm old and not suitable for long journeys. The girl feels sorry for me and asked me to wait for her at home." Mother Lin didn't know what her girl was planning, but she was sure that she would not ignore them, so she would come back to pick them up.

However, it is not known whether she will come back in person or send her subordinates back.

"She will come back, right?" Chu Xingchen spoke, and it was more like talking to himself than asking.

"Yes, the girl values ​​​​relationships the most. You are here, the Xin family is here, the old slave and Lancao are here too, so she will definitely come back."

Mother Lin couldn't bear to see such a good child so depressed, so she made the assurance in a very serious tone.

"Yes, mom is right, she will definitely come back." As if he had finally gotten the correct answer and his heart was finally at ease, Chu Xingchen picked up the chopsticks like a child and started eating with big mouthfuls.

"Eat slowly. If you want to eat something next time, just ask Wangchuan to come over and tell us. Lancao and I will prepare it and send it to you."

Mother Lin sighed inwardly, seeing that such a good young man had become abnormal, she couldn't help but feel even more resentful towards her own daughter.

The moment Chu Xingchen saw Mother Lin, she felt much more at ease, just as Wangchuan had thought. At least the person she cared about was still there, and she would definitely come back, and they would not completely lose contact.

Thinking of this, the heavy stone in my heart loosened a lot, and my mind was able to think normally again.

"Wangchuan, find a few capable people to guard this yard and make sure mom and the two girls are safe."

Wang Chuan was stunned when he heard this. He didn't understand why this order was given. The master was not in the yard, so what could a few servants do? But then he thought of something, his eyes darkened, and he said solemnly: "Yes, I will arrange it right away."
