Chapter 151 - 151 Memories
151 Memories
Lin Suisui was pulled by Lu Ze as they walked towards the tent where the herbs were stored. As she walked, she asked Lu Ze in confusion, “Why is it inconvenient for others to interfere?!” Was he afraid that this information would leak and affect the implementation of this plan?!
“People talk! You shouldn’t have to suffer this.” Lu Ze turned around and glanced at Lin Suisui before continuing, “Just tell them that from the beginning to the end, you’ve never participated in this matter, understand?!
There are many more hypocrites in this world than you think!
Now that the enemy is in front of us, no one cares, because our lives are on the line, so nobody thinks that there is anything wrong with your suggestion!
However, if this matter dies down and word gets out, many people outside will criticize us for being too ruthless!
Be it Mr. Pei or me, we’re both men. If we’re criticized, they’ll at most just say that we’re too ruthless. They can’t hurt us! But you’re different. You’re a woman.
People in this world are harsh on women!
If you’re involved, I believe those people will do everything they can to hurt you!
It’s not worth it!”
Lin Suisui didn’t expect Lu Ze to say this.
Actually, she had never thought about this because she had never cared about public opinion.
In her previous life, many people had actually said that she was a demon doctor and a vicious woman!
Many patients who had been treated by her and survived would even join those condemning her after they recovered!
She was already used to being targeted and mocked!
This was the first time someone had considered things for her sake so carefully!
“I-I don’t care.” Lin Suisui’s heart ached and she was silent for a long time before saying in a low voice, “Actually, even if they scold me, it doesn’t matter. Anyway, words can’t hurt me.”
“But it’s unfair to you!” Lu Ze was very stubborn. He held Lin Suisui’s hand and slowly walked forward as he said, “In the future, with me guarding you, I definitely won’t let you suffer such injustice. I definitely won’t let you suffer any more grievances!
You just have to do what you want, like treating illnesses and saving people!
I’ll take care of the rest.”
“I can’t help you much.” Lin Suisui was silent for a long time before saying in an extremely low voice.
She knew Lu Ze’s identity very well. Although the father of the original host had a certain amount of power in the court, the original host was only a concubine’s daughter. Moreover, she had been abandoned.
When she left the capital, the news that her sister was going to marry the fourth prince had already spread throughout the capital.
Therefore, if she became Lu Ze’s wife, she wouldn’t be of any help to him. His current situation was already difficult. It would definitely be difficult for him to return to the royal court in the future!
If someone could help him in the royal court, his future path would be much easier!
“You’ve already helped me a lot!” Seeing Lin Suisui’s expression, Lu Ze could guess what she was thinking. He wasn’t impatient, and his tone was still gentle. “I don’t want you to make a decision immediately. I also know that you had someone in your heart previously. After being betrayed, you’re reluctant to trust anyone again!
Therefore, I can give you time to think about it, to see if I’m worth you entrusting and showing sincerity to.”
“I don’t have anyone in mind!” How could Lin Suisui not discern the teasing tone of Lu Ze’s words? Her face turned red as she stopped in her tracks and glared at Lu Ze as she corrected him angrily, “He said that he could help me leave my family and not have to listen to others like before!
You don’t know how cold the winter in the residence is!
“The nanny made things difficult for us and deducted our courtyard’s usage of coal. In the dead of winter, in order to exchange for a basket of charcoal, the wet nurse had to wash clothes for those old women! She died from the coldness of the well water!”
The memory that suddenly surged into her mind made Lin Suisui lose control of her emotions.
She looked at Lu Ze as she said anxiously, “Later on, Xiao Sui also fell sick. I asked the nannies guarding the courtyard to help me get a doctor! But those nannies said that Xiao Sui was just a slave. If a slave died, so be it. They said she wasn’t worthy enough for them to invite doctor!
I had no choice but to think of a way to escape and ask my father for help. Then, I met the fourth prince!
He helped me escape from that small courtyard so that I could survive and protect the people around me!”
Chaotic memories filled Lin Suisui’s mind like a tsunami. She couldn’t help but raise her hand to cover her aching head as she bent down in pain.
Seeing that the situation wasn’t right, Lu Ze didn’t hesitate to hit the back of Lin Suisui’s neck to help her calm down for the time being.
He picked up Lin Suisui, who had fainted in his arms, and carefully carried her back.
Because of Lin Suisui’s previous relationship with the fourth prince, Lu Ze had investigated her previously! He even arranged for spies in the Prime Minister’s Estate at that time.
He knew that the youngest daughter of the Lin family was a concubine. Her biological mother had died early, so she had been raised by her mother and was very doted on at home…
This was the first time he had heard a fact that was completely different from the results of those investigations.
What else had his little girl suffered before?!
How late had he arrived in her world?!
… .
Lin Suisui slept until the latter half of the night.
She opened her eyes in a daze and only realized what had just happened after a while! She seemed to have remembered some things, but the person who had experienced those things wasn’t her, but the original owner of this body.
But even so, she could still feel the intense unwillingness and anger…
“You’re awake?! Does your head still hurt?”
Hearing the noise in the carriage, Lu Ze quickly lifted the curtain and crawled in from outside. He reached out and placed his hand on Lin Suisui’s forehead. Seeing that there was nothing unusual, he heaved a sigh of relief and explained in a low voice, “I’m sorry. I saw that you were too agitated at that time. I was afraid that you would hurt yourself, so I knocked you out!”
“I’m fine.” Lin Suisui shook her head gently and smiled at Lu Ze. “I just remembered some unpleasant things. Let’s not talk about that anymore. We still have to prepare medicine!”
It was more important to get down to business now, so Lin Suisui quickly supported herself and got up. She looked at Lu Ze seriously as she said, “We can’t die here. I still want to return to the capital to take revenge one day!”
