Young Master, Don't Show Off - Chapter 157
[Chapter 157: Double Sorrow]
Lin Xiu had just withdrawn his telekinesis when there was a hurried knock at the door.
He walked over and opened the door. Looking at Qin Wan, who was standing at the door wearing only a coat, he asked, “What’s wrong?”
Qin Wan glanced around his room and asked, “Are you okay?”
Lin Xiu said, “No, what can happen to me?”
Qin Wan breathed a sigh of relief and said, “It’s good that you’re okay. Just now, a strong spiritual force swept by. It may be just a strong person passing by. You go to sleep. I’m going back to my room to rest.”
After that, she turned and walked back to her room.
Lin Xiu closed the door and breathed a sigh of relief.
Qin Wan’s perception was extremely strong. Lin Xiu’s inadvertent release of telekinesis was actually felt by her.
Her ability seemed to be exerted in a way similar to telekinesis, which was similar to telekinesis. Fortunately, she did not doubt Lin Xiu. This was the concept for thousands of years. Unless someone saw it with their own eyes, no one would easily doubt that others had two different abilities.
Lin Xiu stopped testing the new ability he had just acquired and went to the backyard to start practicing martial arts.
Lingyin slept at home last night. The next morning, Lin Xiu and Qin Wan had breakfast and went out together.
As soon as the two walked out of the house, two figures rushed out from the side.
They were Qin Wan’s two brothers.
It seemed that they had been waiting here for a long time.
Qin Song pointed at Qin Wan and cursed: “You bitch, no wonder you didn’t even go home these days. It turned out that you found a man outside. An unmarried woman actually lives in another man’s house. Do you still have any shame!”
Facing Qin Song’s insults, Qin Wan’s expression was calm and she said lightly: “How much silver do you want?”
Qin Song immediately said: “One hundred taels!”
Qin Wan said: “I only have forty taels now.”
Qin Song said: “Forty taels is fine.”
Qin Wan took out a few small silver bills and loose silver from her sleeve and gave them all to Qin Song. After Qin Song grabbed them, he didn’t even look at her and Lin Xiu, and the two brothers left immediately.
Obviously, they came here for money.
The powerful and wealthy people in the capital who have a little strength don’t have to worry about money.
From this, we can see that although the Qin family is still powerful, they have almost fallen into decline, with only a name of power.
Lin Xiu looked at Qin Wan and said, “With your ability, it is not difficult to earn 10,000 taels of silver, and it is even easier to get rid of the Qin family.”
Qin Wan said, “No matter what, it is true that he gave birth to me and raised me, otherwise, I would have starved to death and frozen to death. This is what I owe him, and I should pay him back.” Lin Xiu said
nothing more.
Although most parents cherish their children as if they were their lives, there are really parents in this world who do not love their children.
Qin Wan was born to a concubine. If it was a son born to a concubine, it would be ok. In some special circumstances, the son of a concubine would also receive special treatment, but it is different for a concubine’s daughter. In the mansions of those top powerful people, even if the concubine’s daughter is not in a high position, she can still have no worries about food and clothing, but in ordinary families, the status of a concubine’s daughter is actually no different from that of a slave.
Qin Wan is obviously the latter.
She is proficient in everything from washing clothes and cooking to cleaning the courtyard. I think it is because of this reason.
If her special ability was ice or fire, her situation might be different. The court would have cultivated her vigorously. In comparison, the special ability of illusion was not worthy of being accepted by the court. The reason why she was in the Tianzi Academy was probably because her ability could be of great use in certain special times, and the court paid special attention to her.
But in any case, the fact that someone who was recruited by the Tianzi Academy was treated like this by her family, even if she was just a concubine, showed the short-sightedness of her father and brother.
When she arrived at the Special Ability Academy, Lingyin and Princess Minghe had already arrived.
They were also very active in their cultivation these days. Originally, with their talents, it would take at least five or six years to advance to the Earth Rank. Now this time has been shortened to less than three years, and they can all advance to the Earth Rank before the age of 20.
Throughout the ages, those strong men who have reached the upper realm of the Heaven Rank have one thing in common, that is, they all advanced to the Earth Rank before the age of 20.
The discovery of the dual cultivation of ice and fire is of epoch-making significance.
It doubled the talents of a small number of geniuses.
After the practice, Lin Xiu went to Changchun Palace to visit the Imperial Concubine as usual, and happened to meet Shuangshuang there.
The Imperial Concubine can now leave the palace once every two weeks. She looks very different from before, with a better complexion and younger appearance.
Standing next to Shuangshuang, who already looked younger, she didn’t look much older than her.
At this moment, the Imperial Concubine was holding a wooden tube that was the length and thickness of a finger and could rotate at the bottom. She asked Lin Xiu, “What is this?” Lin
Xiu explained for her, “My lady, this thing has the same function as lip balm, but it is more convenient to carry and use. Just turn the mechanism like this and apply it gently on your lips. After use, turn the mechanism back to the original position.”
The Imperial Concubine couldn’t let go of this novel gadget. After playing with it for a long time, she glanced at Lin Xiu and said, “I finally know why you are so popular with girls, because you put all your thoughts on these little gadgets that girls like…”
This sentence was completely unfair to him.
He was a grown man, but he spent time studying perfume and lipstick. What was it for? Wasn’t it to make her happy? At the beginning, Lin Xiu didn’t even think about making money with them.
He was popular with girls because he understood girls’ minds, could cater to their preferences, and could make them happy. She really didn’t know how to appreciate her blessings.
Lin Xiu had never cared so much about Xue Ning’er and Cai Yi as he did
about her.
When leaving Changchun Palace with Shuangshuang, Lin Xiu found that she was not in a good mood.
In his impression, Shuangshuang was always carefree, innocent and lively. Lin Xiu asked curiously, “What’s wrong? Did someone bully you?”
Shuangshuang shook her head and said, “Brother Lin, I did something wrong.”
Lin Xiu asked, “What is it?” Shuangshuang
lowered her head and said, “I saved a bad guy. He should have died, but I saved him. If he had recovered, many people would have been harmed by him. If I hadn’t saved him, he wouldn’t have had the chance to harm others again…”
Lin Xiu looked at her and thought to himself, what a kind little girl.
Huang Tao, this guy, died, and he died, and he made a little girl who aspired to become a famous doctor doubt her beliefs. Cutting her throat with a knife was a bargain for him.
He turned around, held Shuangshuang’s little face, looked at her seriously, and said, “You shouldn’t have such thoughts.”
Shuangshuang looked at him blankly, and murmured, “Lin, Brother Lin…”
Lin Xiu looked into her eyes and said, “You are a doctor. In a doctor’s eyes, there are only patients, no men and women, no poor and rich, no good and bad people. Your duty is to save the dying and the wounded. Even if you save a bad guy, you are worthy of your identity as a doctor. The court will judge the crimes of the bad guys. If the court does not judge, there are also assassins with justice in their hearts, but this is not your responsibility, do you understand?”
Lin Xiu’s voice was magnetic and went straight into the soul. He looked into Shuangshuang’s eyes and said solemnly, “Only if you understand this can you become a famous doctor.”
Shuangshuang looked into Lin Xiu’s eyes. Over the past few days, the fog in her heart seemed to be slowly dispelled.
She nodded firmly and said, “Thank you, Brother Lin, I will work hard to become a famous doctor!”
Lin Xiu rubbed her head and said, “Don’t doubt, just do what you think is right. Didn’t the bad guy you saved soon die at the hands of the assassin? You have your duties, and he has his mission. You are both right.”
A smile appeared on Shuangshuang’s face again. She looked at Lin Xiu embarrassedly and said, “Brother Lin, thank you so much. I was wrong. I shouldn’t have doubted the doctor’s duties…”
Lin Xiu smiled and said, “You owe me a favor. Next I was tired this time, so I went to the Imperial Hospital to find you. “
Shuangshuang said happily: “You can come anytime, the Imperial Concubine said that my skills have improved recently.”
When they walked out of the harem, Shuangshuang asked Lin Xiu: “Brother Lin, if it were you, would you save him too?”
Lin Xiu shook his head and said: “I wouldn’t.”
Shuangshuang was puzzled: “But didn’t you just say…”
Lin Xiu said: “Because my dream is not to become a famous doctor, I can act only according to my own heart, but you are different. If you want to become a famous doctor, you must always remember this and don’t be shaken by anything…”
…
After giving Shuangshuang psychological counseling, Lin Xiu left the palace.
Shuangshuang is too kind. It is precisely because of her kindness that she doubts her profession. If she is not guided out and the correct concept is not established for her, she will definitely fall into this cycle again and again in the future. For her who is determined to become a famous doctor, this will ruin her ideal.
After a delay for a while, it was a little late when Lin Xiu returned home.
Before reaching the door of the house, Lin Xiu saw from a distance that Qin Song and Qin Bai were standing on the street at the door again. Qin Wan looked at them coldly and asked, “Where is the silver I gave you this morning?”
Qin Song said, “Half of it was used to buy the magic powder, and the other half was lost in gambling. Give us another fifty taels, and we will definitely win it back.”
Qin Wan said indifferently, “I don’t have a penny anymore.”
Qin Song said, “You don’t have it, but that guy does. If you ask him for it, he will definitely give it to you.”
Qin Wan said coldly, “He is not my relative, why should I ask him for it?”
Qin Song smiled disdainfully and said, “We live together, and you still say it doesn’t matter. I tell you, I have investigated it. The Lin family is very rich. Do you know how much this house costs? Two hundred thousand taels, two hundred thousand taels. As long as you behave better in his bed, and ask him for tens or hundreds of taels of silver, will he not give it to you?”
Lin Xiu was stunned when he heard it from behind.
Tens or hundreds of taels… This guy’s imagination is really limited by poverty.
If it was really as Qin Song said, let alone tens or hundreds of taels, the financial power of the family could be handed over to Qin Wan. This woman knew how to live. She could support herself with a bowl of noodles that cost only a few coins. She could even make the vegetable vendor doubt his life by bargaining for a cabbage. She was simply a model of thrift and a model of a good wife and mother…
