Senior brother is so awesome!

Zhong Zhichen laughed instead of being scolded, but the laughter did not reach his eyes. He ignored her harsh words, brought the spoon to her mouth, and commanded again, "Open your mouth."

Yang Shanshan was filled with grief and indignation, but restrained by his imposing presence, she finally yielded and reluctantly swallowed the porridge in front of her. The wicked man finally smiled with satisfaction, "One more bite."

Yang Shanshan quickly finished the bowl of porridge, then hid under the covers, not wanting to talk to him, and said in a muffled voice, "Go away, I'm full and want to sleep."

After a long silence, no one answered. Had he left? Curious, she peeked out from under the covers and met a cold, stern face. Just as she was about to hide again, Zhong Zhichen spoke up: "Are you that afraid of me?"

Yang Shanshan was surprised to see sadness on his face; she must be seeing things. She said, "Why would I be afraid of you? Don't flatter yourself. The person I'm afraid of hasn't even been born yet!"

"who are you?"

"I am Yang... your junior sister Qin Yuechan! Senior brother, why are you glaring at me?" Oh no, I've been exposed! What if she's discovered and people think she's a monster and hack her to pieces?

Zhong Zhichen's hawk-like eyes fixed on her with unwavering intensity, making Yang Shanshan's skin crawl. "What is your relationship with Ling Zhao?"

"Huh? Who is Ling Zhao?" His question left her completely bewildered. Wait, had he already discovered she wasn't the real Ling Zhao? Otherwise, why would he have asked her who she was? Was he just making up a story to trick her? What if he wasn't? Oh dear, she really didn't know what to do with her cunning senior brother. If she was going to die, so be it; she could just pretend she didn't know him. After all, it was normal for her to be mentally challenged and not remember anything!

Thinking of this, his tone hardened, "I don't know him."

He seemed to have expected the answer, so he didn't ask her any more questions. He got up, flicked his sleeves, and left, but stopped at the door. "It's best if you don't recognize me. If you're lying, Sanqing Mountain won't tolerate you." After saying that, his dark purple figure disappeared.

The oppressive feeling vanished, and Yang Shanshan breathed a deep sigh of relief, secretly glad she'd guessed correctly. However, she was curious about who Ling Zhao was. Was he an enemy of Sanqing Mountain? Sigh, never mind. She'd ask her second senior brother when he came for his follow-up appointment tomorrow. But her eldest senior brother was truly awful; sometimes he was as intimate as a lover, other times as cold as an enemy. Did he really think she was easy to bully? She was a transmigrator, after all…

Then the woman started bragging and rambling on to herself, but nobody heard her. Even if someone did, nobody would care; they would just assume she was having another episode of her illness...

The next day. Yang Shanshan woke up still unable to move, lying on the bed pretending to be a zombie. It was already bright outside the window. When she asked Suixin, she learned that it was already noon, around 10 o'clock. Haha, this was the first time she had slept in since she transmigrated. It seemed that her master knew that she was injured and could not practice martial arts. Hehe, it felt pretty good to be a parasite.

I wanted to catch up on sleep, but I couldn't fall asleep at all. I was so bored lying in bed that I couldn't move, so I called out to Suixin, "Suixin."

"Yes, Your Majesty," Sui Xin replied politely.

"Ok?"

"Um, this servant... was wrong to follow my heart."

"That's more like it. Suixin is such a good girl."

"..."

The pointless conversation finally ended with Sui Xin's face full of black lines. Yang Shanshan tried hard to find a topic, and suddenly asked while thinking, "Why didn't my second senior brother come to give me a follow-up check-up today?"

"Young Master Zhu came by. You hadn't gotten up yet, so he left some medicine and left," Sui Xin replied, bringing up the food that had been reheated several times.

Ugh, I slept with my second senior brother, which was a rare chance to be alone with him. I'm so depressed. I asked again, "Do you know who this Ling Zhao is? Is he a disciple from the mountain?" I have to find out, otherwise it will be troublesome if my senior brother asks again next time.

Upon hearing the name Ling Zhao, Sui Xin gave Yang Shanshan a disdainful look. "Miss doesn't even know Ling Zhao?"

"Hey, hey, hey, what's with that expression? Is it strange that I don't know Ling Zhao? He's not some great person, why would I need to know him?"

Sui Xin covered her mouth and smiled, her eyes sparkling with red hearts as she said with boundless admiration, "Ling Zhao is not a great man, but he is the dream of every woman in the Central Plains. It is said that he is more beautiful than a woman, as handsome as Pan An, gentle and kind, and comes from the Ling family, a wealthy merchant family in Jiangnan. How can there be such a perfect man in this world?"

Yang Shanshan felt powerless. Was her maid a lovesick fool?

"Can't you say something useful?" She tilted her head, preferring to go to sleep rather than listen to her rambling.

Seeing his master's listless appearance, Sui Xin remembered the important matter the cook had mentioned earlier and said, "There is some good news. I heard that the thief who broke into Sanqing Mountain a couple of days ago was caught yesterday. Young Master Zhong is truly resourceful."

Yang Shanshan's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly asked, "Is the information reliable? Were they right? They didn't arrest the wrong person?"

"Of course it's reliable. It's all over the mountain. They say that when the little thief tried to escape, he was trapped in the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams Formation that Young Master Zhong had rearranged, which is how he was captured. Everyone says that Young Master Zhong is wise and brave." Although Sui Xin didn't understand why her young lady was in such a hurry, she still answered truthfully.

Alright, it must be that little thief. How could she be so stupid? What if Zhong Zhichen catches her? Even if she were unharmed, what difference would it make? She couldn't save him anyway.
