Quick Wear: Cousin, Come to the Bowl Quickly

It takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone. The recovery process was exceptionally long. After a month, the wound on Lin Xi's back gradually scabbed over and began to heal. However, just as the imperial physician had predicted, her legs were now weak and she needed help from others when walking, sitting or lying down.

However, compared to Chang Sun Yan's worry, Lin Xi was particularly optimistic after knowing that there was a high possibility that she would not be able to stand up for the rest of her life.

"Don't worry too much. I know my own body well. Although the injury on my back looks serious, it is not incurable. As long as I take good care of myself, I will be able to stand up again."

Looking at Changsun Yan, who was embroidering a knee pad for her with a worried look on her face, Lin Xi couldn't help but reach out her hand to tuck a strand of his hair behind his ear and comforted him in a gentle voice.

But Changsun Yan seemed not to have heard these words. He just kept his head down and struggled with the knee pads in his hand.

Seeing that he didn't respond, Lin Xi continued, "When I get better, I'll ride a horse and draw my bow during the autumn hunting season to hunt a red fox for you and make it into a cape. How about that?"

Chang Sun Yan still didn't react, but the needle in his hand moved faster and faster. In a moment of carelessness, he pierced his fingertip, and the bright red blood quickly left a dark mark on the cloth.

"Oh, why are you so careless? Does it hurt?" Seeing this, Lin Xi hurriedly pulled his hand over, blew on it gently, took a handkerchief beside her to wipe off the blood, and then prepared to take the medicine on the tray beside her to apply it on him.

But before she could reach out her hand, she suddenly felt a dampness on the back of her hand, and then Chang Sun Yan's hoarse, crying voice rang out in the room, "Can you not leave?"

Hearing this, Lin Xi sighed softly, reached out her hand to hold his chin, and lifted his face up. As expected, she saw his pair of very red eyes.

"It's been so long, it's time for me to go back to the Lin Mansion. The Criminal Justice Department still has a lot of matters waiting for me to deal with." Lin Xi held his face, gently wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and explained softly.

After recuperating in Changsun Mansion for a month, Changsun Mei and Lu Yujie finally took advantage of Changsun Yan's absence to tactfully ask Lin Xi to return to their house.

Although she was reluctant to leave Changsun Yan, Lin Xi could understand their thoughts. After all, she and Changsun Yan had not yet married. Now she had been living in Changsun Mansion for a month under the pretext of recuperating. Although Changsun Yan had ordered his servants not to pass on news from outside, Lin Xi still heard all the rumors in the capital from Huaiyun.

It was simply that the two of them lived together before they got married and were inseparable every day, which was simply against moral standards and against ethics. Although she had a bad reputation and no longer cared about these false reputations, she still had to consider Changsun Yan.

Besides, her injury was caused by Wanqi Changge. Although the fault was all on Wanqi Changge, she brought it upon herself, broke an arm and a leg, and was demoted to a commoner, but after all, Wanqi Changge was still the blood-related daughter of Emperor Li.

Although Emperor Li did not say anything now, he still gave Lin Xi a lot of rare medicinal herbs, and even after knowing that she might not be able to stand up, he did not dismiss her from her position in the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

But if she continued to live in Changsun Mansion, wouldn't Emperor Li be forced to think of Lin Xi, who was paralyzed on one side of her body and seriously injured and unable to move because of his own daughter, and had to temporarily live in the home of her future mother-in-law, every time he saw Changsun Mei during court?

The emperor's grace is like dew, fleeting and cannot stand the test of time. Now, in Emperor Li's heart, Lin Xi and Changsun Yan are still victims harmed by his own daughter. But there is no guarantee that she will suddenly forgive Wanqi Changge one day. Then, wouldn't Lin Xi's behavior of staying in Changsun Mansion become the best excuse for her to get angry?

Therefore, no matter from which angle you look at it, the time has come for Lin Xi to leave the Changsun Mansion. Although both of them know it in their hearts, they are still reluctant to let go, especially Changsun Yan. Ever since he heard Lin Xi say that she would leave in the next two days, he has cried many times.

He himself knew that ever since this experience, he had developed an almost pathological dependence on Lin Xi. He wanted to be with her all the time, and whenever he thought of the scene of her spitting blood and still holding him in her arms, his eyes would turn red and he would cry.

Especially when he was turning her over and applying medicine on her, he couldn't hold back his tears when he saw that she was obviously shaking in pain and sweating, but she was still smiling and joking with him, not wanting to make him sad and blame himself.

"I know, but I just don't want to be separated from you." Listening to Lin Xi patiently explaining the reasons to him, Chang Sun Yan knew that he was being too pretentious, but he still couldn't help but reach out and hold her arm, rubbing his face against her palm.

"I don't want to be separated from you either." Lin Xi pulled his hand over, blew on his fingertips where the bleeding had stopped, then took the medicine and applied it carefully.

"Wait for me for a year, no, half a year, and I will welcome you to my house." After doing all this, she took his hands into her palms and said solemnly, "I will definitely stand up, ride a tall horse, and come to welcome you with red makeup for ten miles."

Feeling the endless warmth coming from his palms and looking at Lin Xi's serious and pious expression, Changsun Yan's wavering heart finally settled down.

As soon as he calmed down, he belatedly began to feel embarrassed about being spoken to so bluntly in public. Facing Lin Xi's unreserved gaze, Changsun Yan felt a surge of heat rapidly climbing up his neck and cheeks, burning them.

Suddenly, there was a sound of servants talking outside the house. It didn't sound real, as if they were just passing by, but he seemed to be suddenly burned. He suddenly woke up, withdrew his hand, turned his body, and left only his back to Lin Xi, and said with some stammering.

"You, don't you feel any pain? You still have the mind to talk about these nonsense. I'm embroidering something, don't disturb me."

Seeing his look of trying to hide something, Lin Xi couldn't help but cover her lips with her hand. A low, muffled laugh escaped from her throat, causing her whole body to tremble slightly.

When Changsun Yan heard the laughter, he couldn't help but feel even more ashamed and angry, and wished he could curl himself up into a ball. After enduring for a while, Lin Xi's laughter became louder and louder. He was so angry that he couldn't stand it anymore. He quickly took out the needle from the knee pad in his hand and stuffed it into Lin Xi's arms.

Then, as if something was chasing him from behind, he hurriedly said, "Why hasn't dinner been served yet? I'll go urge them," amid Lin Xi's increasingly undisguised laughter, and fled without even looking back.
