Chapter 40
After a few seconds of silence, Tao Yijin's deep voice sounded in the quiet environment, "Ling Shu is here, it's impossible for Mu Li to come here to take the humiliation."

"Are you sure?" Tao Shiyi questioned, "But I heard that Lin Jinqian brought her here, but he didn't show up."

"Isn't this the end? So what if she comes, so what if she doesn't come? After all, she is not recognized by the Lin family." Tao Yijin's tone was relaxed and he didn't care.

"Go back with brother, that woman is not a problem, even if you have to worry, Ling Shu should worry about it. If you want to catch Lin Yisheng, you should go back and reveal your identity."

Tao Shiyi's rebuttal was not heard, the footsteps of the two leaving echoed in the courtyard.

Mu Li came out from behind the tree trunk, watched the figures of the two disappear in the insufficient light, and took a deep breath.

She has almost become the enemy of several big families, and everyone is eager to put her to death.

She looked up, and she happened to be able to see the window of a room on the second floor, and Lin Jinqian was by that window, looking down at her direction.

The light was not clear, and Mu Li couldn't see his expression clearly at this time, but she could guess that it would definitely not look good, because her goal had been achieved.

……

"Young master, do you have any other orders?" The maid made the mattress, bowed her body, and asked respectfully Lin Jinqian who was sitting by the window.

Lin Jinqian said nothing, but waved his hands.

The maid bowed again, left the room, and locked the door at the same time.

At this moment, Lin Jinqian turned the wheelchair and moved it to the side of the bed, "I won't go back to Lihuaxi tonight, you and I will stay here."

Mu Li was stunned, looking at the figure moving towards the bed in disbelief, unable to respond as if he had been stabbed.

She thought that when she returned to the room, Lin Jinqian would be greeted with bloody humiliation, but she didn't expect him to say nothing, as if the condescending pair of stares just now had never happened.

Unexpectedly, after three seconds of peace, such bad news came!
"Taking you away at this time is not in line with your wishes?" Lin Jinqian's indifferent voice sounded in the quaint room, "You made your own decisions and slipped down quietly, isn't it just to be seen by others and to catch wind and shadows?"

Mu Li was silent, no matter how much he denied it, it was useless.

"It's a pity that you are wrong. For the Lin family, chasing after the wind and shadow is not terrible. What is really lethal is the public identity." After Lin Jinqian finished speaking, he turned around and looked at her with neither sadness nor joy.

Mu Li stood by the wall, holding his breath, knowing that what Lin Jinqian said could not be more correct.

Even so, she still won't give up any hope.

Noisy and bustling will eventually come to an end, and loneliness is the final destination.The [-]th birthday of the old man of the Lin family was lively for more than three hours, and finally it was time to leave the banquet.

Luo He knocked on the door again, saying that the old man wanted Lin Jinqian to go downstairs and see off the guests together.

Lin Jinqian did not speak, put down the book, grabbed the prayer beads on the table, and was pushed by Luo He to leave the bedroom.

After the door was closed, Mu Li immediately went to the window to observe the movement downstairs.

If something important happened at the birthday banquet, such as the confirmation of Ling Shu's unusual identity, it would definitely be reflected when the banquet was over.

The other three major families must be extra polite to the Ling family.

It's a pity that the guests did not pass downstairs, and the greetings and conversations of seeing off the guests could be faintly heard, but no one was seen.

Not long after, Lin Jinqian came back, and when Mu Li heard the movement outside the door, he took a book casually, and sat in the teacher's chair, pretending to read it calmly.

Luo He escorted Lin Jinqian back to the room, went straight to the bathroom, then came out to get a change of clothes, put them in, and left.

Mu Li was sitting in the grand teacher's chair with a book in his hands, hearing the sound of water rushing inside, his mood became more and more disturbed.

The sound of the water was like the singing of a sea monster, carrying a spell, pulling her into the depths of her memory bit by bit.

It was the same when she married Lin Jinqian six years ago.

She sat anxiously on the red bed in the new house, listening to the sound of water flowing in the bathroom, feeling scared and curious at the same time.

What is frightening is that what will happen to her, who was sacrificed by her family for the sake of profit, and married into the Lin family, who is like a jackal, and spends the night with a strange man who is seven years older than her?
Out of curiosity, how did that man, who lives in a wheelchair, finish washing by himself?

She remembered it very clearly. At that time, she even had an outrageous idea. Could it be that the man wasn't paralyzed at all?In places where others cannot see, he can stand up from the wheelchair and walk like a normal person.

Over the years, this outrageous idea never disappeared.

Even tonight, the sound of rushing water revived the thought that had been buried for a long time—Lin Jinqian, can he really not stand up?

All these years, he has always been in a wheelchair, no matter in spring, summer or autumn and winter, his legs are covered with dark cashmere blankets. No one has ever seen what his legs look like.

Even on the night of the wedding, she didn't see her.

If Pandora's box is not opened, the driving force of curiosity will only grow stronger.

Mu Li put down his book, got up without knowing it, and walked step by step in the direction of the sound of water.

Even if the box is opened and the disaster and pain are released, it can be regarded as a kind of truth coming out.

The first door of the bathroom was opened, and there was Lin Jinqian's clothes on the couch where the clothes were changed.

On the day of the old man's birthday banquet, he wore a buttoned mandarin jacket, and was dressed in the attire of eating vegetarian food, reciting Buddhism, cultivating Taoism and becoming an immortal, which was incompatible with the busy socializing people at the banquet.

How strong does it need to be to be fearless?

Mu Li continued to walk forward and came to the door of the back room. The door of the bathroom was made of frosted glass in one-third of the way, and the figure inside could be vaguely seen through the glass.

But she couldn't see anything.

Mu Li held his breath, raised his hand and knocked on the door three times, and heard a low voice from inside, "What's the matter?"

"I want to use the bathroom."

"Hold on."

When the sound fell, the sound of the water stopped, and Mu Li didn't dare to breathe. He stuck to the side of the non-frosted glass and listened intently to the movement inside.

The quieter it is, the more suspicious it is.

Not to mention sitting in a wheelchair, even if a normal person walks on both feet, how could there be no movement?

There was a sudden sound of "Kang Dang", and Mu Li's tense nerves seemed to be punctured. He immediately grabbed the doorknob with his hand, and was about to open it immediately——

Fortunately, the remaining sanity stopped her in time.

"Are you okay?" She withdrew her hand and asked calmly.

There was another messy sound, and then I heard Lin Jinqian say with some difficulty: "Go and call Luo He for me—forget it, you'd better not go out. It takes 3 minutes, and you open the door and come in after 3 minutes."

Mu Li turned his head to look at the always hanging above the couch, waiting for the 3 minutes to pass.

In the bathroom, intermittent noises could be heard.

Three minutes later, Lin Jinqian's voice came over, "Come in."

Mu Li opened the door and went in, only to see him slumped on the floor, having passed out a change of clothes, and the wheelchair was dumped aside.

Could it be that the loud noise just now was the sound of the wheelchair falling to the ground?
"Help me up the wheelchair." Lin Jinqian said.

Mu Li stepped forward and stepped forward to help the wheelchair.

Lin Jinqian raised his hand, "Give me a hand."

Murray leaned down and put his arm on his shoulder, the refreshing breath of a man who had just showered rushed into the tip of her nose, causing her to be in a trance for a while.

She hurriedly calmed down, exhausted all her strength, gritted her teeth and propped him up from the ground, and supported him to sit in the wheelchair, his head was covered with sweat.

"Thank you." Lin Jinqian grabbed the blanket and covered his lap, "I'm sorry to trouble you."

Mu Li pursed his lips, shook his head, glanced into the pool of hot water out of the corner of his eye, it turned out that everything in his room had been remodeled.

The height of the bath was exactly the same as the wheelchair, so that he could enter the water smoothly from the wheelchair as long as he supported the wide edge of the bath, and the ground around the bath was made into a floor that could catch the wheelchair.

No wonder he didn't need help.

"Use it." Lin Jinqian left such a sentence, and controlled the wheelchair out of the bathroom.

Mu Li rubbed his forehead, did she think too much?
"You must have hated me all these years, right?" Mu Li came out of the bathroom, and heard a voice from behind the screen, "A person you don't love, who spends his whole life in a wheelchair but wants to tie you up with marriage, can't Don't hate."

She wiped off the remaining drops of water on her cheeks, sat down in the teacher's chair, and said: "Having is useless, now I only care about what happened back then."

"Still so impatient. Your temperament hasn't changed at all these years."

"Change or remain unchanged lies in one's own heart, not what others say."

Mu Li raised his eyes and looked at the ink painting on the screen. Among the splashed ink mountains and rivers, it seemed like the sun was setting and the sun was rising. He saw the simple bamboo building hidden in the mist of the green mountains, and it seemed that there was a person living here.

The blurry figure stood in front of the window of the bamboo building, seeming to lean on it, or looking out with its chin resting on its shoulders. I don't know whether it is enjoying the beautiful scenery in the morning, or waiting for the night to fall and the beloved to return.

She had been in the room for hours before she noticed how unearthly and lean the screen was.

"This painting is really good. Who are the people inside waiting for?" Mu Li was fascinated by it, and asked subconsciously.

Lin Jinqian who was behind the screen was startled by this question, and suddenly closed the book in his hand, his eyes were instantly darkened like thick ink, and he looked deeply at the ink painting.

After a while, he came back to his senses and asked casually, "Do you know how to appreciate paintings?"

Mu Li also came back to his senses, blinked, and erased the middle-aged figure in the painting, and saw his fair face reflected in the opposite glass window.

She doesn't understand paintings, compared to Lin Jinqian, criticizing in front of him is a trick, she is reckless.

Lin Jinqian is the only son of Lin's parents and the heir cultivated by the Lin family painstakingly. He has received the most traditional Chinese thought and advanced western education since he was a child. Under the double baptism, he matured earlier than anyone else.

At such a young age, he has thoughts that ordinary people can't figure out, and he has a courage comparable to the self-made ancestors of the Lin family.

But Murray is different.

She has lived with her mother in a small southern town since she was a child. Because she reorganized her family and has a naughty younger brother, she knew early on that life was not easy, and would work hard to help her mother make a living.

If she hadn't met Lin Yisheng, she would never have come into contact with these elegant things.

Lin Yisheng was sent to live in a small town to recuperate his body. His mother was not there often, and he was always accompanied by domestic servants.But a rich young master like Lin Yisheng was naturally curious about the small town in the countryside, so he sneaked out while the servants were not paying attention.

Unexpectedly, this run caused a conflict with the boy in the town, and Murray testified for him, so they met, then fell in love, and finally separated.

Life is so dramatic.

"You were taught by Lin Yisheng, right?" Seeing that she was silent, Lin Jinqian asked again.

This question made Mu Li tremble all over.
