Yin Zijing lay in bed resting for three days. On the third evening after drinking the herbal tea, Xiaolan fanned Yin Zijing while Granny Zhou fed her bird's nest and red date porridge spoonful by spoonful. Ruhe stood to the side, secretly giving Yin Zijing a meaningful look.
Yin Zijing's face was pale, without a trace of makeup. Her hair was simply tied up in a bun to keep it from looking messy, and thin, wispy bangs fell across her fair forehead. With each glance up and a furrowed brow, her eyes, though frail, made her appear even more pitiful, as if she held a thousand emotions within her.
Seeing Ruhe's meaningful glance, Yin Zijin finished her bird's nest and red date porridge, then took the handkerchief from Granny Zhou's hand and said, "Granny Zhou, let me do it! Although I'm not strong enough, I can still wipe my mouth."
After wiping her mouth, Yin Zijing looked out the canopy window with boredom. The golden light of dusk shone through the window and into the room, bathing the entire room in a golden glow. The golden light shone on Yin Zijing, giving her a sense of poignant beauty.
Yin Zijing shielded her eyes from the sunlight and said to Granny Zhou, "Granny Zhou, let Ruhe sleep with me tonight! I've been so bored staying indoors these past few days, and you won't let me go out..."
Granny Zhou had already sensed Yin Zijin's inner turmoil and quickly replied, "Alright, let Ruhe sleep with you tonight to keep you company and relieve your boredom."
When everyone was asleep at night, Ruhe secretly got up from the chaise lounge and secretly went into the canopy bed.
Yin Zijing had something on her mind and hadn't slept. When she heard a noise outside, she quickly opened her eyes.
Ruhe walked up to Yin Zijin, helped her up, and leaned her against the bed. Then she lowered her voice and said, "Miss, I've been going to Xiaohongmen to pick up things frequently these past few days and have gotten on good terms with the person who opens the door. Tomorrow, Master and Young Master will come to Bihexuan to see you. You must seize this opportunity and ask Young Master to help you get out of your current predicament."
I heard that in two months, the old nanny from the palace will be coming, saying she wants to bind your and Seventh Miss's feet! You'd better figure out a way to do this in the next two months, otherwise, you really will be bound into tiny, three-inch golden lotuses.
Yin Zijing asked excitedly, "Is the news true? Will they really come tomorrow?"
Ruhe also said with some doubt, "It should be true. I heard that during the past few days that the Sixth Miss was sick, Aunt Li kept pleading with the Master, saying that the Miss was perfectly fine, so how could she be sick? She kept making a fuss about seeing the Sixth Miss, and even made a scene in front of the Madam."
Alas! In the past, Aunt Li was like a mouse before a cat when she saw Madam, but now she's going all out for her daughter, even daring to cause trouble in front of Madam. Madam was afraid of making a big scene, so she agreed to let Aunt Li come to see you. Master is also a little worried and said that they will come together tomorrow.
"Young Master, as you know, although you two don't see each other often, you've always doted on you and Seventh Miss. How could you not be worried about such a serious incident that happened to you and Seventh Miss? That's why you begged Madam to come and see you and Zijing."
Yin Zijin said, "A mother's love is strong, but I'm afraid Aunt Li's life will be even harder from now on. Ruhe, whether this news is true or false, we need to prepare in advance. This is my only way out. Also, Ruhe, thank you for your willingness to help me."
Ruhe smoothed Yin Zijin's bangs and said with heartache, "The night you drank the Bi Ai Cao, you were struggling with your illness and begged me to stop. I couldn't bear to see you suffer."
Besides, you are a man, not a woman. You are merely a victim of the power struggles within the household. I am only doing my best to help you, young lady. I hope you will achieve your wish.
Yin Zijing gratefully held Ruhe's small hand and said, "Thank you, Ruhe. I'm so grateful for your help. But I'm afraid something might happen to you. I'm afraid that if Zhang finds out you helped me, it will be bad for you."
But don't be afraid. Granny Liu is your grandmother, and she has a lot of dirt on Zhang Shi. Zhang Shi won't easily harm you.
Ruhe said, "Don't worry, Miss, I'll be fine. If all else fails, I'll ask the eldest young master for help."
Yin Zijin nodded and said, "Okay, it's decided then. Ruhe, is there a pen and paper in the room? I'll write a few words and secretly slip them to my brother tomorrow."
Ruhe said, "Miss, I have some. I'll go get it."
A moment later, Ruhe brought over a brush and Xuan paper and placed them on the small stool in front of the bed. As Yin Zijin wrote, she said, "Ruhe, could you take a look at my writing later and see if it's correct?"
When Yin Zijin wrote it, it read: "At 1:15 AM today, a visit to the small garden outside Bihe Pavilion."
The handwriting wasn't neat, but at least it was in traditional Chinese characters. Yin Zijin took the small piece of paper and showed it to Ruhe: "Ruhe, please check it and see if there are any mistakes."
Ruhe looked at it seriously, then chuckled softly and said, "Alright, Miss, it's okay to have a couple of typos. I don't know as many characters as you do! The young master is so smart, he can understand what you've written."
Young lady, you need to think carefully about your future. Will you leave the Yin family mansion? Or will you live elsewhere under the name of the Yin family? In any case, with Madam's constant pressure, you can't stay in the Yin family mansion any longer. Otherwise, you'll have no choice but to obey Madam's wishes and have your feet bound...
The girl should think this through carefully. She is only five years old and looks no different from other girls. Her body has been modified by the Artemisia argyi, making her very weak. She needs a lot of precious tonics to nourish her body.
There are many kidnappers in the Great Sheng Dynasty. A girl with such a body is the most desirable and exotic thing for the powerful and nobles. If she is kidnapped, her life will be ruined.
It seems you're not independent at all, young lady. You should really think about your future and what you should do.
Yin Zijin nodded and said, "Thank you, Ruhe. Thank you for thinking of me like this. I've already thought about these things. Ruhe, come closer, I'll tell you."
