Yi Xin as a concubine

Chapter 122 Wei Yu surrenders

The two chatted a lot under the moonlight, but until Chu Xingchen left, Xin Baoer didn't awaken any romantic cells. She hesitated for a long time before going down the tunnel. Finally, she heard Xin Baoer's even breathing on the bed, and she left reluctantly and tiptoed away.

Because she went to bed late, Xin Baoer slept until lunch time the next day. Now everyone in the courtyard was her own and she had her own room. No one disturbed her. She felt that this was the most sweet and relaxing sleep she had ever had here. After waking up, her bones felt lighter.

Once you are in a good mood, you will have the energy to do something.

She called Wei Yu into her room, and without rushing to talk about business, she poured her a cup of scented tea that she brought from home, and smiled as she motioned for her to drink the tea first.

Wei Yu didn't understand, but didn't ask too much. He just drank tea, taking small sips.

Seeing that she had finished a small cup, Xin Baoer poured her another one. She organized her words in her mind and was about to speak when Wei Yu spoke first.

"Baoer, if you need me to do anything, just tell me. I'll be your bodyguard from now on." Wei Yu said as he stood up and prepared to kneel down to salute.

Xin Baoer was startled and pulled up the person who had not yet kneeled down, "Ayu, what are you doing? We are friends."

Wei Yu did not insist on kneeling. With the help of Xin Baoer, he stood up and said solemnly, "Baoer, you know I know Kung Fu, and it's pretty good. You can guess what happened in the house these days. Not only me, Wuyin and the others should have guessed it too. Erye and Wangchuan are better at Kung Fu than us, but he doesn't seem to be on guard against us, so I guess he hopes we can be of use to you."

Xin Baoer frowned upon hearing this, remembering that when Chu Xingchen asked her to save Wuyin, he had asked her, "Do you want the favor for free?" So this was the reason?

Isn't it too early for this man to plan? How can he be sure that she will get on their ship?

"Bao'er, when I boarded the carriage to the palace, I had already accepted my fate, but you told me, 'The only way to survive is to stay alive' and then we really got out of the wolf's den. Now I am homeless. Even if you let me leave here now, how can a woman like me survive in such a world where people eat each other?"

It was rare for Xin Baoer to hear Wei Yu talk so much, and she wanted to say a few words of comfort, but Wei Yu didn't give her the chance.

"I can probably guess what your ultimate goal is. After all, your surname is Chu. I've heard from my mother about those rebels out there who are just pretending to be something they are not. I don't know if Second Master is the same as them, but I believe in you, Bao'er. I only believe in you!"

"It's ridiculous. You are the weakest one who needs to be protected the most. But only in you can I see hope of survival."

Xin Baoer was amused by her last sentence. "Could it be that I have the potential to impersonate the goddess Guanyin? Forget it, I dare not offend the gods. Anita Buddha, sin, sin!"

Xin Baoer's jokes instantly dispelled the solemn atmosphere in the room, and both girls couldn't help but laugh.

"Ayu, remember, you don't need to live for anyone. I am just an ordinary person. I shouldn't be your belief, and I can't bear this weight. If you need such a belief to live harder, then think about your dreams."

Seeing Wei Yu frowning, as if he didn't agree with her words, Xin Baoer smiled and continued, "My dream is to be a salted fish, huddled in an inconspicuous corner of the backyard, holding a book, watching the sunrise and sunset, listening to the gentle breeze and rain. I originally thought I would always be in the Xin family's backyard, but then my mother said that women must marry once, otherwise they will be regarded as outsiders, so I want to find a rich family's backyard and be a dispensable concubine."

"Become a concubine?" Wei Yu was surprised. "You really think..."

"Different, huh?" Xin Baoer suddenly smiled bitterly. "My looks mean I can't marry an ordinary person, because I can't protect myself. Marrying me is probably equivalent to marrying a disaster. I was born rich and can't endure hardship, but rich and powerful people all have three wives and four concubines. Being the main wife is so tiring, it takes so much time, effort and money, and in the end you still can't get anything good. Of course, the most important thing is that I don't like to socialize with strangers."

"So, being a concubine doesn't seem bad?" Wei Yu was a little confused.

"It doesn't matter whether I'm a concubine or not. What matters is that I want to be an indifferent person and don't want to struggle. Now I have the status of a concubine, but the current situation does not allow me to live in indifference in my old age. What can I do? I can only break the current situation and create an environment suitable for my old age."

Xin Baoer's words were so serious and reasonable that Wei Yu almost believed it.

On second thought, that’s not right!

Who would spend more than ten or twenty years, working hard and worrying all their heart just to find a place to live out their retirement in peace? Wouldn't that be a loss?

Wei Yu looked at Xin Baoer with a accusing look, "Do you think I'm a three-year-old child?"

“Hahahaha…” Xin Baoer laughed so hard that tears came out.

"Ayu, although this may sound a little exaggerated, please don't think so highly of me. I have never personally seen the sufferings of this world, so I cannot empathize with them. I was also forced to come to this day, and my flesh and blood carry her responsibility. Only by fulfilling this responsibility can I truly be reborn and free."

As a former top student, she really wanted to show her talents in this strange world. Which top student doesn't have some pride? If she didn't have that little bit of pitiful pride left in her previous life, how could she choose to judge herself after discovering that her memory was declining.

But this kind of thinking is actually more of a playful mentality. I only do what I can, and it doesn’t matter whether the result is good or bad.

But since she confirmed the original owner's true identity and obtained the three tokens, Xin Baoer felt like a huge rock was pressing down on her.

She is not the original owner, but she has indeed occupied someone else's body. Since she enjoys the love and care brought by that person's identity, she naturally cannot abandon the responsibilities and obligations that come with this identity.

Since she cannot enjoy her life with a clear conscience, she should shoulder the responsibilities and fulfill the obligations. The rest of her life should belong to her, Xin Rubao, and no one, whether he is a human or a ghost, can try to morally blackmail her.

Xin Rubao, such an old name. I have been here for less than a year, but I am already so unfamiliar with it. From now on, I guess I can only be Xin Baoer until I die.

In this life, you must live to the end of your life.

Wei Yu felt very uncomfortable when he heard her words, but he couldn't tell what was wrong. He couldn't figure it out so he just stopped thinking about it. Seeing Xin Baoer start to daydream again, he interrupted her.

"So, Baoer, can you tell me why you want me to come here?"

Xin Baoer came back to her senses, exhaled a breath, looked at Wei Yu and said solemnly: "Ayu, are you sure you want to follow me?"

Wei Yu nodded without hesitation, and Xin Baoer smiled.

How wonderful!

When you have good friends who are walking on the same path as you, you can support and encourage each other from now on, flatten the thorns along the way, and spread the flowers that represent warmth and hope. When you look back, you will see flowers everywhere.

"Well, I'll be more courageous if you accompany me."

The two hands were tightly clasped together, providing each other with courage and strength.

After a long time, Xin Baoer finally started talking about business.

"Remember the grocery store last time?"

Wei Yu nodded. She had felt that Baoer’s behavior in the store was very strange last time. The person who was usually the most gentle and quiet suddenly became arrogant, which made her feel uncomfortable.

"Take Lancao out to buy some ingredients later. We'll cook a good meal tonight to celebrate the housewarming. Go buy some seasonings from that store."

As Xin Baoer spoke, she took out an envelope from her sleeve and put it in Wei Yu's hand.

Wei Yu nodded in understanding, indicating that he knew what to do.

"Be careful, there may be a tail, don't alert the snake."

Wei Yu nodded solemnly again. It was her first time to accept a mission, even if it was just a small matter like delivering a letter, she decided to treat it with all her heart and try not to make the slightest mistake.

Xin Baoer patted her arm when she saw this and said, "Relax and be safe."

Wei Yu smiled, said "Don't worry", and went out to look for orchids.

It’s getting late, we have to go early and come back early so as not to delay the evening celebration.
