217 Returning Back (1/2)
When Lin San opened her eyes, she was inside a carriage with Ming Xiao sitting before her. Hearing the movement from Lin San, he smiled at her.
”How are you feeling?”
”Dizzy,” Lin San answered. ”What happened?”
Ming Xiao narrated the situation from before fully, how the force of Mountain Kingdom came and the fact that their military strategist ordered them to rescue the three of them. Despite they came a bit late, they still came in the end. No, they were not late since they came right at the time when they needed it the most.
”Jun Hua is here?” Lin San eyes brightened. She had been hoping for her to come, but she never has much hope first. Now that she heard the other party was here, she was hoping to see her.
Ming Xiao nodded. ”She is outside. When we stop later, you can meet her.”
Lin San nodded obediently. She took the seat near Ming Xiao and leaned her head to the other party shoulder. Ming Xiao body tensed up, but he relaxed once again after a few seconds. He looked towards Lin San from the corner of his eyes, feeling relieved that she was fine.
The two of them stayed like that for a while until the carriage stopped.
”Your wound is deep, and it might take some time to recover, so you're not allowed to do anything excessive from now,” Ming Xiao warned.
Lin San nodded. ”I won't do anything dangerous.”
Coming out from the carriage, she quickly spotted the little girl who was standing on the grass. She was looking around calmly, but that figure of hers was really enchanting. Even Lin San cannot say that she didn't feel anything when looking at that beautiful view.
She has heard that Jun Hua was beautiful behind her veil. Although she still wore it, she could faintly see the other party complexion. With the sun set behind the other party, the view was incomparably beautiful.
”Second Sister,” Jun Hua smiled when she saw the other party seemed to be stunned. ”Have you recovered?”
”I'm still a bit dizzy, but most of all, I'm fine,” Lin San quickly snapped back to reality. She answered with a smile. ”Thank you for treating my wound.”
”They are mostly first aid. We didn't bring any doctor with us, so I can only do some treatment,” Jun Hua answered amiably. Lin San has truly grown and even Jun Hua can no longer sense the same arrogance in her voice. It seemed the rough time as the princess had further toughened her mental state. In any case, it was good for her.
Lin San nodded. ”It's fine. You're surprisingly talented, Third Sister.”
”Thanks to our father,” Jun Hua answered. Her voice was indifferent, but Lin San can detect the animosity she had towards their father. She didn't blame her for she had seen how poor that man from the Lin family was.
”Right, do you know where my brother is? They wouldn't tell me no matter how much I asked,” Lin San inquired. Lin Hong was her brother whom she cared for. For a long time, she hadn't got the chance to meet him and didn't even know where he was. She missed him.
Jun Hua nodded. ”I know, but you cannot meet him now. The quickest is when you reach 16.”
”I see, thank you for sparing him.”
From Ming Xiao, she had heard that Jun Min let her brother's punishment change from execution. They sent him to some place that he also didn't know. His brother might be suffering right now, but just like her, he should have grown.
