Cypress Boat Floating

Chapter 271 Redemption 8

"Tsk..." Lin Ruoyun frowned slightly. A thin needle accidentally pierced her fair and delicate fingertips. Soon, traces of bright red blood seeped out of her fingertips, one drop, two drops... Lin Ruoyun was shocked, afraid that the blood would stain the fabric, so she quickly picked up the handkerchief beside her and gently wiped the blood off her fingers.

Looking at the fingertips that were still oozing blood, an inexplicable panic surged into her heart. For no reason, Lin Ruoyun felt very panicked, as if something bad was about to happen. Her sixth sense was always very accurate. If this was the case, then there must be something that she needed to pay special attention to.

"Ruoshu." Lin Ruoyun thought to herself. What she valued most was money and her sister. Especially in this huge Lin Mansion, what she was most worried about was her young sister. Thinking of this, she called out without hesitation.

Fortunately, Lin Ruoshu's room was next to hers. When she heard her sister's call, she immediately ran over: "Sister, what's wrong?"

It was midsummer, and the weather was extremely hot. Lin Ruoshu hurried over, and soon her forehead was covered with beads of sweat, and her wet hair stuck together, forming wisps.

Seeing her appear in front of him safely, Lin Ruoyun finally felt relieved. However, when she saw her sister like this, she couldn't help laughing. At the same time, she stretched out her finger and gently flicked her forehead: "Why are you so flustered? What are you doing in the room? You are sweating all over."

Lin Ruoshu has always been eccentric. At this moment, she shook her head, with a cunning light flashing in her eyes, but she refused to tell the reason: "This is my secret, you can't tell my sister."

After hearing this, Lin Ruoyun couldn't help but burst out laughing and said jokingly, "Oh, my little sister has grown up and is starting to keep little secrets from her."

Lin Ruoshu put his hands behind his back, put on an adult look, and said seriously: "Of course, I'm not a child anymore. I can help my sister and I can stand on my own!"

Lin Ruoyun found it more and more funny. She thought that she had just asked Lin Ruoshu to try to keep accounts a few days ago in order to train her. Seeing that she did a good job, she praised her casually. But she didn't expect that this little girl would become so proud.

"Okay, okay, our Ruoshu is a little adult now, so can you sit with me for a while?" Lin Ruoyun looked at the delicate little person in front of her, and couldn't help but feel a surge of love in her heart. Lin Ruoshu blinked her big, lively eyes and nodded seriously, indicating that she was willing to accompany her sister. Lin Ruoyun smiled slightly, reached out and gently touched Lin Ruoshu's hair, then put her fingers to her mouth and blew gently, as if to dispel the pain left on her fingertips.

At this time, the blood on the fingertips had stopped oozing out, and Lin Ruoyun quietly put away the bloodstained handkerchief, moving very carefully, for fear that Lin Ruoshu would notice anything unusual. Lin Ruoshu happily ran to the side, laboriously moved a small stool, placed it next to her sister, and then sat down with a smug look on her face, muttering: "Since my sister wants me to accompany you, then I will reluctantly accompany you."

Seeing Lin Ruoshu's innocent look, Lin Ruoyun's heart softened. Her sister was always so well-behaved and sensible that people couldn't help but want to take good care of her. It was because of this that Lin Ruoyun became more determined to move away. Only by leaving this small space could her sister have more and better things.

Lin Ruoyun picked up the needle and thread again and began to concentrate on mending the clothes in her hands. While threading the needle, she pretended to ask casually: "Ruoshu, you met that Lord Yan today, do you remember what he looks like?"

Lin Ruoshu tilted her head, thought carefully, and then answered in a baby voice: "Well... I remember he was wearing a very beautiful suit, and he looked very majestic!"

"Are there any others? Can you remember their faces?" Lin Ruoyun asked again.

Lin Ruoshu nodded awkwardly, then quickly shook his head: "I don't remember it very clearly, but I remember his eyes."

Lin Ruoyun felt relieved after hearing this. She had not expected her sister to be able to fully recognize Yan Zhen's appearance. It was unexpected that her sister could remember those eyes. "Ruoshu, if you see someone who looks at you like that again in the future, you must stay away from them. Don't get close to them. No matter who that person is, you must stay as far away from them as possible. Do you understand?"

Although Lin Ruoshu didn't fully understand, it didn't stop her from agreeing with her sister: "Yes, sister, I understand."

"Also, don't go out with anyone except me recently. Even if daddy wants to take you out, don't agree. If he forces you to go out, you should hide and don't be found by him, okay?" Lin Ruoyun was still uneasy. Yan Zhen's eyes full of desire kept flashing in her mind. She was not afraid of Yan Zhen attacking her, but she was really worried that Yan Zhen would take a fancy to Ruoshu.

Although this possibility is small, it is not unique. There are many dirty things in the capital, such as pedophilia and forbidden food. Lin Ruoyun could not help but worry about her sister.

"Sister, don't worry, I won't go out with anyone." Lin Ruoshu looked at her sister's distress, feeling sorry for her. She stretched out her bony little hand and gently placed it on her sister's knee, trying to comfort her in this way. This seven or eight-year-old girl should be plump, innocent and cute, but because of the hardships of life, she looks particularly thin. Lin Ruoyun looked at her sister, feeling guilty and distressed. She worked hard to make money just to give her sister a better life, but no matter how hard she tried, her sister still seemed unable to gain weight.

"Ruoshu, when this dress is finished, I can take you out. Then, we can buy a small house of our own. I will continue to make clothes and dye fabrics, and you can go to school. Every night after school, I will prepare meals for you and review your lessons with you. Do you like this kind of life?" Lin Ruoyun said gently while stroking her sister's hair. She put down the clothes in her hands and hugged her sister tightly. The two of them looked forward to a bright future after leaving the Lin Mansion.

"Great, great, the food my sister cooks is delicious, and the clothes she makes are the best!" After all, the innocent Lin Ruoshu is just a young child and doesn't understand so many complicated things. When she heard the scene her sister described, she immediately felt a surge of joy and anticipation in her heart, and she became excited, with her bright eyes shining with full of anticipation.

Lin Ruoyun looked at her sister tenderly and said softly, "Don't worry, I will work harder. The clothes will be finished soon, and I will hand them over to the lady the day after tomorrow. Then I can take you away from here in two days at most. You can sort out your things in these two days, and I will take you away the day after tomorrow night. I have found a nice house, and we will buy it as soon as we get paid the day after tomorrow, okay?"

"Great!" Lin Ruoshu waved her little fist excitedly to cheer for her sister. Her face was filled with a happy smile, as if she had seen a bright future waving to them.
