Some things, as long as there was a thread, then it can just draw out an even longer string. Even though it was just the tip of the iceberg, it was still more than enough to make people alarmed. To want to deal with someone like Jin Qinwang, one canât act blindly without thinking. If one were to act, one must hit the bullseye in one stroke, else immediately after, he can just have you gnawed until not even the bones were left. Thatâs why, one must be patient, cautious, and thorough.
Sun Yi Linâs mid-autumn was spent together with the Luo family in the Luo Manor. It can also be considered experiencing for once the happy atmosphere brought about by a harmonious family, but that kind of joyous mood wasnât able to last for too long either, because the Luo family wasnât his family after all.
After organizing his small number of things, he prepared to leave the capital.
Precisely at this time, someone came to the Luo Manor, and moreover, even a young lady, directly stating that she wanted to meet Sun Yi Lin.
Sun Yi Lin was originally playing chess with Luo Jing Bo, while Sun Yi Jia watched at the side.
Hearing the news passed in by the guards, Sun Yi Jiaâs gaze towards her own older brother carried a bit of astonishment and amusement. This was some love debt her fifth brother left behind outside? Aiyoo, this was really too hard to come by.
Sun Yi Linâs brows furrowed into a knot. Sun Yi Jia noticed. Afraid, it wasnât some happy matter. Originally, she was still thinking of teasing him a little, but now, âFifth brother, how about I let someone have the person driven away?â An unrelated young lady that was neither friend nor family, scaling the gates to look for a man, this kind of person, never mind driving away, even if never letting them appear again, it was all very simple.
Sun Yi Lin looked towards Sun Yi Jia, carrying a bit of surprise and disapproval, âLittle sis, that is just a young lady.â Driving away was easy, and even easier to ruin, but how can you be this ruthless?
Sun Yi Jia was speechless, âI was considering for your sake! I thought it was someone bothering you, but it seems my good intentions were treated as bad intentions?â Her fifth brotherâs temperament appeared gentle, but in reality, in his bones, he was very cold and detached, especially towards unrelated people. Now that he has changed this much, even on the surface, he was no longer gentle. Could it be that now he has become gentle in his bones?
Sun Yi Lin massaged between his brows, penetrating with helplessness.
These days, the two siblings have interacted quite frequently. Sun Yi Linâs mood finally had times where it eased, no longer that stiff the whole time, unable to feel any emotions, but for his emotions to be obvious like this right now, it was still a first.
Sun Yi Jia this time was really curious.
âHave the person brought in.â The other party has never been to the capital before. To be in an unfamiliar place, one canât just ignore.
The person was very quickly brought in. When still relatively far away, Sun Yi Jia could already sense her delight and excitement from her steps. Just, after approaching, meeting with her older brotherâs expressionless face, she instantly just became careful and cautious, carrying nervousness, seemingly fearing that she would make her older brother unhappy.
This girl wasnât really that beautiful, her face even somewhat smooth and round, yet she appeared quite lovable, her upbringing also very good. Sun Yi Jia figured that she probably even came from a large family clan. Her eyes were very clean. From this, it can be seen that if not the kind that was just openminded by nature, not liking bicker, then it was just that her living environment was relatively simple. If she really came from a large family clan, then it should be the former. And also that gaze, it clearly penetrated fondness towards her older brother, but it was very pure, and didnât because of her older brotherâs current appearance, just dye with abnormality.
Sun Yi Jiaâs heart moved.
âYi Lin.â
TN: Alln/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âMin Xian Yuan.â Sun Yi Lin interrupted her, âWith just a servant girl and a mama, you just dared to travel thousands of miles to the capital? Do you know what youâre doing? You, a young lady, if by chance, encounter danger, what will you do?â
That tone was very harsh, but naturally also had worry and concern that even he himself didnât notice.
Sun Yi Jia took it all in, her certain thoughts inside becoming increasingly clear.
Min Xiao Yuan lowered her head, her hands unconsciously tugging the handkerchief, while also lifting her eyes to carefully peek at Sun Yi Lin, âAbout that, also brought along an attendant from my older brother and a carriage driver.â She quietly said.
Sun Yi Lin choked, clearly getting stifled. His eyes spun, seemingly almost rolling his eyes.
Sun Yi Jia let out a âpfftâ, laughing out loud, but she hurriedly used the handkerchief to cover her mouth. Shortly after, she calmly lifted the teacup as if nothing had happened. About that, she didnât do anything, please ignore her, you two continue, please continue.
And Luo Jing Bo this while was also âdrinking teaâ. The husband and wife pair were connected at the heart, their line of sight converging in the air from behind the teacup, revealing a tacit smile. However, surname Min? Is it a young lady from the Min clan?
Sun Yi Lin glanced at them, not saying anything, âIs this the important point?â
Min Xiao Yuan also glanced at Sun Yi Jia and Luo Jing Bo. If her assumption is correct, then this should be Sun Yi Linâs younger sister and brother-in-law. Regarding Sun Yi Linâs matters, sheâd all inquired about clearly, but if he doesnât introduce for her, she canât just act familiar on her own. Moreover, her focus right now was to let Sun Yi Lin have her kept behind. âThen what is the important point? Werenât you disdaining that I didnât bring enough people?â Min Xiao Yuan penetrated with an innocent confusion.
Sun Yi Lin was a bit defeated. It was obvious, this kind of thing already wasnât the first time, âYou shouldnât have come to the capital.â
Upon hearing this, Min Xiao Yuanâs eyes somewhat reddened, her hand that was tugging the handkerchief somewhat turning white.
Sun Yi Lin questioned whether or not heâd spoken too bluntly, but some things, since he couldnât accomplish, unable to promise, then he shouldnât drag on and lead on. However, this girl seemingly was stubborn. It also wasnât the first or second time he bluntly rejected her, but one still didnât see her pull back in the slightest. âMiss Min, hiding from your family and chasing after an unrelated man everywhere isnât something a young lady from a respectable family should do to begin with. Never mind that your family will worry, if found out by others, not only you yourself, but even your parents and elders will all get pointed at and criticized. Your sisters will also because of your actions have their reputation damaged. Whether itâs out of selfishness, or just willful, you all shouldnâtâ¦â¦â¦.â
âGentleman Sun.â The mama following behind Min Xian Yuan finally couldnât listen anymore.
However, Sun Yi Lin just coldly swept her a glance, continuing to speak, and towards Min Xiao Yuanâs falling tears, he also ignored, âIâve long told you before, between us, itâs impossible. Setting aside the fact that right now, Iâm alone on my own, having no official post, no noble title, and no fixed property, so how can I afford to provide for a pampered young lady from a wealthy family like you, even for myself, Iâve also never thought of taking a wife. Thatâs why, return to wherever you came from, and donât cause trouble for others, understand?â
This was Sun Yi Jiaâs first time hearing her own older brother speak this relentlessly. To speak of a young lady like this, it was really too much. Moreover, this girl didnât seem like a shameless one. To be able to do something like following him to the capital, presumably it was already the most out of line thing sheâs done. Even if wanting to reject, still be a bit more tactful. âFifth brother.â
âLittle sis, this is my business, so donât interfere, just take care of your own matters.â Sun Yi Lin turned his head and sternly said.
Sun Yi Jia this time clearly also got angered by him, having the cup in hand placed down, âFine, I wonât get involved, just do what you want then.â
This time, Luo Jing Bo headached. A pregnant womanâs temper was peculiar. When his wife wasnât angry, it was still okay, but once angered, even if he used everything he got, he still may not necessarily be able to have her coaxed back.
Older brother-in-law, you canât just screw me over like this.
Min Xiao Yuan wiped her tears, âTo have bothered gentleman today, I will leave immediately.â As she said this, she directly left, very much straightforward. Just, her entire person all penetrated with a sense of stubbornness.
âMissâ¦â Min Xiao Yuanâs servant girl and mama both worryingly called out.
âWeâre leaving, what are we staying here for, to get disdained?â Min Xiao Yuan picked up her pace.
Min Xiao Yuanâs behavior made one surprised. To chase over from thousands of miles away, yet just giving up this easily.
Only Sun Yi Lin just felt his head ache even more, âLittle sis, send someone to go check where they are staying. Itâs their first time in the capital, so easy to get cheated by strangers.â
âFifth brotherâs matters, didnât you not let me get involved? What are you looking at me for?â Sun Yi Jia coldly said.
âLittle sis.â Sun Yi Lin was helpless, âThis girl comes from the Min clan. Her grandfather and the Min clan clan leader are tang brothers. This branch of theirs have developed quite well, and sheâs the direct lineâs di young lady. She should have an appropriately matched good marriage, and not be involved with me. Right now, my future is unknown, and I further donât want to marry, so donât want to hold her up, understand?â
âFifth brother, when did you become acquainted with her?â
âTwo years ago.â Sun Yi Lin although didnât understand why she asked this, but he still truthfully answered.
âHow old is she right now, do you know?â
Sun Yi Linâs face slightly stiffened, âProbably eighteen.â
Sun Yi Jia coldly sneered, âClearly, youâve already held up the other party. Weâre all born from large influential families, what itâs like inside, youâre very clear about. When you met her, she was already sixteen. How possible do you think it was for her to not have an engagement? For her to still be able to run after you even now, her marriage arrangements clearly have fallen through. Not even that many men of large influential families can control their own marriage, let alone a young lady. To resist against oneâs own marriage arrangements, do you know how much courage and determination is needed? If not careful, the family would rather have them killed. For her to still be able to stand before you, aside from her parents probably being merciful, loving her, her own sacrifices absolutely wonât be few. But, she still carried such vitality, which shows that towards her own sacrifices, she didnât regret. She perhaps rebelled against the norm, but sheâs brave enough to pursue her desires. Even if you reject, you still shouldnât use words to hurt her. Anyone can all criticize her, but only you canât. Besides, a pampered young lady encountering a man outside that captured her heart, how is it possible for her family to not question or look into that man? But, why do I feel that youâve never interacted with her family before? What did this mean? It means that Miss Min stopped her family from looking for you, so as to avoid causing trouble for you.â
Sun Yi Lin massaged his aching temples.
