Chapter 283: Doubt, holding in the palm (Part 1)

When Lin Chujiu returned to her room, she didn’t rush to groom herself . Instead, she sent away Chunxi and Qiuxi, saying that she wanted to be alone .

Chunxi and Qiuxi didn’t dare to act arrogant . Their attitude towards her was more respectful than before . Even their tone was more humble than ever, which Lin Chujiu didn’t expect .

The news spread quickly between Xiao Wangfu’s people . They learn the fight between Lin Chujiu and the guardsmen . So although Chunxi and Qiuxi didn’t know the complete details, they were smart enough to understand that it was not good to provoke Lin Chujiu right now .  

There was no one else inside the room, but Lin Chujiu was still not at ease . She knew every corner of the house has shadow guards that were supposed to “protect” her . In order to prevent any issue, Lin Chujiu took off her outer clothe and went straight to bed .

The shadow guards that will “protect” her, doesn’t dare to snoop around her room when she bathes or sleeps .

Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Lin Chujiu took out the letter and the token . Lin Chujiu put the token on her side, then she tears open the letter… …

The letter was yellow in color, it was put a long time ago . It was now very fragile and easily get broken . The writing inside was also somewhat blurred, which very hard to read .

The content was not long, it only has a few hundred words . There were no many things mentioned . It only says that if Meng Laofuren died, she mustn’t stay in the East Country . And if she was in danger, she must ask the empress to arrange people to send her to the Central Empire .  

With the token in her hand, she will be able to enter the Central Empire without a problem . And the Lin Family of the Central Empire will look after her . If things go well, she doesn’t need to go to the Central Empire and just live happily in the East .  

At the end of the letter, it was stated there that she mustn’t believe Lin Xiang’s words too much . She must act according to her own judgment . And aside from Meng Laofuren’s words, she mustn’t believe in anything else .

After reading the letter, Lin Chujiu found herself more confused . Because her mother didn’t seem to leave her a much useful information . She only left her words that were not useful to her at all .

“Don’t believe Lin Xiang’s words too much?” Lin Chujiu carefully pondered about this sentence and then about Lin Xiang’s attitude towards her . Lin Chujiu think of a possible situation… …

Was she not Lin Xiang’s daughter?

“I don’t have a dog’s blood, right?” Lin Chujiu’s hand tighten, the letter in her hand was torn into pieces . Lin Chujiu hurriedly let go of the letter, but the shredder letter scattered on the bed . It was no longer recognizable, nothing can be spelled out .

“This is good, I also don’t want to . ” Lin Chujiu, who was facing a pile of scrapped paper looked weak . She silently recalled what was written on the letter and think if she missed anything .  but… …

With pure classic Chinese letters, even if she looks at it again and again, she will only barely understand its meaning . It was almost impossible for her to write it down again .

“Forget it, if I get a chance to go to the Central Empire, I’ll figure it out . It’s best to leave it in the future . If I failed to figure it out, it doesn’t matter . I’m used to being alone . ” Lin Chujiu bend her waist and collected the scattered paper . Then, she threw them into the copper basin on the side . She added some water to it . Lin Chujiu saw that theshredded paper in the copper basin was completely hopeless to restored .

After tidying up her things, in order to make sure nothing will go wrong, Lin Chujiu once again check her room . Then, she called Chunxi and Qiuxi . The two maidservants help her to bathe and change clothes .
