So what if I traveled through time? I'll continue to roll in another place

Twenty strokes of the cane were too severe. If the original owner had not been young and strong, he would have been beaten to death without being able to survive the execution.

After talking with Chu Yuanming, she has been in a coma. Wang Huai'en went to Shen to report that Xiao Yueshan was discovered by Eunuch Lu and was beaten with 20 sticks. She didn't know whether she would survive. He was afraid of bringing trouble to himself, so he might as well report her death to give Eunuch Lu an explanation.

Shen was afraid of Lu Dehou, and Xiao Yueshan had entered the palace with a fake identity, and the oral order was only to deceive the Zhou family. So she immediately agreed and let Wang Huai'en deal with it as he pleased.

In her coma, Xiao Yueshan only felt hot and cold, and kept unconsciously mumbling about being thirsty. But when she really drank, her teeth clenched tightly, and she vomited more than she drank. Wang Huai'en patiently fed her medicine and water.

Except for working in Shou'an Palace or delivering messages for Prince Jin, he stayed by Xiao Yueshan's bedside almost all the time. He really didn't expect her to be so brave and selfless. She was willing to sacrifice herself for a few women she didn't know, but now she was willing to risk her life for those disaster victims far away. He had never seen such a person before.

Now this "good person" was lying half-dead on the bed. Wang Huai'en really didn't know whether to say she was pitiful or ridiculous.

Fortunately, the dark room was cool and ventilated, and Wang Huai'en got some ice from somewhere, otherwise Xiao Yueshan would have been infected in the hot summer weather.

After resting for a few days, the wounds on his body scabbed over, and Xiao Yueshan was finally able to wake up a little and barely opened his eyes.

As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw Wang Huai'en's handsome face with a mockery in it. "Didn't you say not to interfere with other people's karma? 'Let go of the desire to help others and laugh at their fate.' Isn't this popular in your place? Why are you being hypocritical?"

Seeing Xiao Wang's fluent use of Internet slang, Xiao Yueshan forced a smile and said, "So, the Virgin Mary was punished by God, so I have already received retribution, haven't I?"

Wang Huai'en looked at her pale and painful smiling face, but he couldn't smile. "Are you okay? Is it painful?" he asked with concern.

"It's okay. I was already numb from the pain, but now I don't feel anything." Xiao Yueshan is not a delicate person. It's already good enough that she can save her life now.

"Do you really think you are eloquent and can debate with a group of scholars?" Seeing that she was so weak but still trying to be brave, Wang Huai'en couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark to her.

This woman really doesn't know her place. If he hadn't arrived in time this time, Shou'an Palace would have been unable to protect her and she would have been dead for sure.

Lu Dehou was a shrewd old man. Others thought that he was just giving face to Shen. In fact, he had already known that Wang Huai'en was the Prince of Jin's man, and he was just giving a little face to him, a favorite of the regent prince.

"Oh, I've watched too much TV, so it's inevitable that I'm a little hot-headed." Xiao Yueshan said self-deprecatingly, "I told you, in the time-travel dramas where we have, the heroine can say whatever she wants to say, and people will believe her after she says it. Also, if the heroine really gets into trouble, someone will come to save her and won't let her suffer." She laughed.

"That's just a storybook. Storybooks are made up by storytellers. How can you believe them?" Wang Huai'en complained. He grew up in the palace and had seen too many slaves and servants being punished. When they made mistakes, they were dealt with very carelessly.

"The flowers in the imperial garden all have noble names and are tended by special people. If one or half of the flowers die, the servants who serve them will be punished. People are lower than grass. When flowers and plants die, the masters will sigh and say it's a pity, but when servants die, they just die, quietly." After he finished speaking, both of them sighed.

"Forget it, forget it. Didn't you come to save me? God has been very kind to me." She waved her hand jokingly.

After this lesson, Xiao Yueshan further deepened her understanding of feudal imperial power. Since she came here, she has been very smooth and did not suffer any hardship from the Shen family. She really felt that she had some luck as a heroine. This time she was indeed reckless. Not only did she fail to save others, she almost gave herself away.

"But Lord Wang, I still want to argue that we say 'let go of the desire to help others and laugh at their fate' because most people in our country are free and have the right to choose their own lives and fate. It is because they do not listen to advice and seek their own death that we laugh at them."

"But here, most people have no choice. If they had a choice, who wouldn't want to rely on their own efforts to have enough food and clothing and to be reunited with their family? Unless they are at the end of their rope, no one wants to live with their head hanging off the belt." She said seriously that she didn't think she was a "saint", it's just that her methods were wrong.

"You are really good at argument. Your mouth never stops for a quarter of an hour. You start talking nonsense to me as soon as you wake up." Wang Huai'en said with a smile. Xiao Yueshan actually read a look of doting on his face for a second. She was a little flustered at the moment, thinking that she was dazzled.

"After talking so much, drink some water to refresh yourself." He kindly poured her a glass of warm water. He had specially boiled this water with ginseng roots to help her stay energetic.

Xiao Yueshan took the cup and drank without hesitation.

"If you don't mind, you can follow me." He said nervously while she lowered her head to drink water.

"Ah?" Xiao Yueshan was choked. She stared at him in amazement, not daring to confirm what he meant. Did he really mean what she thought?

Xiao Yueshan didn't even dare to ask, fearing that she had misunderstood. Maybe he wanted her to work with him? Don't scare yourself.

"Your husband has passed away. Now Prince Jin, Lady Protector of the Country and even Lord Lu of the Imperial Household Department all know who you are. Even if a mere seventh-rank Censor is still alive, he can't protect you." He spoke carefully, "It's better for you to stay by my side." He swallowed, and his white Adam's apple rolled up and down, betraying his nervousness.

Xiao Yueshan was struck by lightning. She had never thought that Wang Huai'en would fall in love with her. She felt like she was torn apart. She wondered when their relationship had progressed so rapidly? Why had no one informed her?

From the beginning to the end, she only regarded Wang Huai'en as a colleague. Which decent worker would fall in love with a colleague? Isn't it enough to see each other at work?

But Wang Huai'en didn't think so. During the more than 20 days he traveled with her, they enjoyed the mountains and rivers and talked about life. In her eyes, he forgot his disabled identity as a father-in-law for the first time, as if he was an equal and healthy person like her.

She is confident, bright, brave, enthusiastic, optimistic, lively, warm and tactful. She will say thank you politely and is respectful to everyone. She has countless wonderful qualities, just like the rare sunshine in this gloomy palace that shines on him.

"I can report to Prince Jin that you are dead and hide you where he can't find you."

He cherished this warmth so much that for the first time in his life he actually had the idea of ​​deceiving Prince Jin.

God? I don't ask you to give me some amazing cheat codes, but please don't make me fall in love with a domineering father-in-law. I don't want a love story! Xiao Yueshan was almost beaten to death, and now he is scared to death by Wang Huai'en.

On second thought, Xiao Wang is quite pitiful. The kid grew up in the palace and worked hard for both sides. He probably never had a stable life. It is normal for him to fall in love with a colleague. After all, he doesn't have time to get to know other people.

He said she was warm, but she had never given him warmth. The sunshine he called it was because she had grown up in the sunshine of the new society. The sunshine and warmth were just because she had received too much, so it was revealed subconsciously and naturally.

Seeing her so surprised, his heart suddenly tightened. She must also disliked that he was a eunuch!

She is no different from those vulgar people! He hated himself for expressing his true feelings on impulse. Now he was humiliated like this and was really angry and annoyed. He wanted to leave the dark room in a hurry, but Xiao Yueshan grabbed him unexpectedly.

The woman ignored her own wound and looked at him seriously while feeling the pain: "I don't dislike you," she was still so direct.

"You saved me, and I treated you as a friend. It was you who didn't understand what true love was, and you mistakenly projected it onto our relationship."

Wang Huai'en was afraid that she would fall, so he did not move and just listened quietly to her explanation.

"We live in different worlds. Mutual respect is the most basic requirement for interpersonal communication in our country. No matter if it is a superior or a subordinate, attacking each other's flaws is a despicable behavior. Even if someone really does it, they dare only do it secretly. If it is exposed, they will be ridiculed by everyone."

"To be honest, I have never cared about your father-in-law's status. Before you sent me to the capital, I treated you as a playmate. Later, when we were together in Shou'an Palace, I treated you as a colleague. But respect is not about liking or disliking. Respect is just a right that a human being should have."

Wang Huai'en did not respond. He just gently put her back on the couch and left in silence.
