Yusui Chang'an

Chapter 15 Seeking Compassion?

When Lin Yanqing heard this, he couldn't help laughing and said, "I have become more courageous now that I have recovered from my illness, and even dare to take advantage of me."

Lin Jinyan stopped the surging emotions in her heart and smiled: "Why don't you dare? My grandfather loves me so much, so he must be reluctant to hit me. Even if my grandfather is really willing, my grandmother will protect me."

Lin Yanqing smiled and scolded: "Look, a good girl's family has turned into a rogue."

The old lady smiled and said: "The youngest granddaughter in the family is so painful in everyone's hands, but she is not afraid of anything."

While the grandfather and grandson were chatting and laughing, Man Nao moved a stool for Lin Jinyan and placed it next to the old lady's legs. Lin Jinyan smiled at Man Nao and nodded and sat down.

After sitting down, Lin Jinyan pretended to be embarrassed and said:

"I know my grandparents love me, and I shouldn't have made things difficult for you... It's just that Yan'er has something to ask for, and I hope I can grant it."

The old lady put down the water glass and asked with a smile: "I just said that you are confident, and now you start to beg. Tell me what's going on?"

Lin Jinyan looked around and said, "Can I just tell my grandparents?"

The old lady was so appetized by Lin Jinyan that she waved her servant away:

"Okay, it's just the three of us now, let's talk."

Lin Jinyan hesitated and said: "The fall into the water on the Mid-Autumn Festival... was... I was careless. Sister Yuexue... didn't trip me on purpose. Please ask my grandmother not to punish Sister Yuexue to kneel in the Buddhist hall. It's all because I didn't stand firm. Please Grandma, don’t blame sister Yuexue.”

After speaking, he stood up and knelt in front of the old lady. However, Lin Yanqing and Lin Yanqing were stunned by Lin Jinyan's words.

What does it mean that Zhou Yuexue tripped her?Didn't she slip and fall into the water?

Lin Yanqing and his wife looked at each other with confusion in their eyes.

Seeing Lin Jinyan kneeling down again, the old lady said:

"It's cold on the ground. Why don't you get up and talk first? What do you mean by Yuexue tripping you?"

Lin Jinyan pretended to be confused, raised her head, looked around at the two elders and said:

"Don't your grandparents know? Then why do you punish Sister Yuexue to kneel in the Buddhist hall?"

The old lady frowned and said, "It was Yuexue who said she saw you slipping and fell into the water and your fever persisted, so she went to kneel and pray for you. I didn't punish her. She tripped you into the water. This is the first time I heard about it. Could it be that you fell into the water? Did you remember it wrong because you were frightened?"

Lin Jinyan looked in disbelief: "Did Sister Yuexue say that? She said...did I slip and fall into the water?"

The old lady frowned: "Yuexue is so kind, sensible and timid, how could she trip you into the water? How could she dare to deceive me?"

When Lin Jinyan heard this, she bit her lips and her eyes turned red, looking like she was about to cry, as if she had been greatly wronged.

Lin Yanqing said in a deep voice: "If anything happens, just sit down and answer me. If she really stumbles you into the water, my grandfather will do justice to her."

Lin Jinyan stood up from the ground obediently, slowly sat back on the stool, sniffed and took a deep breath and let it out, sitting up straight as if she had made a difficult decision.

He looked at Lin Yanqing and said, "Grandpa, I remembered wrongly. I was originally interceding for sister Yuexue. Since she is fine, I have nothing to ask for."

As he spoke, he sighed again and put on a smile:
"Yan'er was confused and misremembered things when he had a fever. He almost wronged Sister Yuexue. I asked my grandparents to help me keep it secret and not let others know about it. Don't ask Sister Yuexue, otherwise there will be resentment between the sisters in the future."

Seeing Lin Jinyan's aggrieved look, Lin Yanqing frowned slightly and said:
"Yan'er, this is not a trivial matter. You have to tell the truth and don't deceive your elders."
