The Little Madam of Marquis Family in Time Travel - Chapter 70
When he got home, Shen Sisi had changed her clothes. When she looked at Song Sijun, she felt a little embarrassed when she remembered her earlier fear and confusion.
When Song Sijun saw her, he understood what she was feeling, so he just smiled and then asked Shen Niannian to hand the motherwort he brought to Xiao Ming while he knocked on the door and entered the house with the books.
Seeing Song Sijun returning with the books, Lin Changxu stepped forward to take them. After verifying that they were the correct books, he handed one of them to Song Sijun. “This is for you,” he said.
Song Sijun took the book and saw that the author was again Wen Jinyu. As a time traveler, Song Sijun recognized the title as particularly vague, called “Some of My Thoughts.”
Song Sijun raised his eyes and looked at Lin Changxu.
Lin Changxu explained, “It’s all my mother’s ramblings. I can’t understand a lot of it, like rocket diesel electric fans. I thought you might understand what he meant.”
Song Sijun nodded. “I do understand what those are.”
Lin Changxu didn’t show surprise but warned, “This is the only copy, so please keep it safe and don’t lose it.” When speaking about his deceased mother, Lin Changxu’s expression revealed a bit of sadness.
For over a century, he watched his loved ones grow old and die one by one. He alone remained immortal, enjoying a long life but also experiencing great loneliness.
There were gains and losses. Over the years, Lin Changxu gradually came to understand that loss was fleeting. Then he placed the remaining books in front of Shen Yinghan. “These are for you. I’ll check your progress in three days.”
Shen Yinghan nodded obediently like a dutiful student and agreed.
Lin Changxu suddenly leaned over the table and came face to face with Shen Yinghan. “Your uncle was a well-known figure in Huoxi Academy. Don’t embarrass him.” With those words, Lin Changxu turned and left.
Seeing him leave, Shen Yinghan wanted to get up and see him off, but Lin Changxu waved him off without looking back. “No need to see me off. Just focus on your reading.”
After watching Lin Changxu leave, Song Sijun and Shen Yinghan looked at each other. Song Sijun walked over to Shen Yinghan and asked, “Are you worried about uncle?”
Shen Yinghan nodded, picked up a few of the books Lin Changxu asked him to read, and said, “I want to fulfill Lin Changxu’s request quickly so I can return to Daqing Kingdom as soon as possible.”
Song Sijun was actually a little worried about Shen Huaqing. The suddenness of their journey and arrival in Huoxi City left them uncertain about the situation in Daqing Kingdom.
Song Sijun said, “I understand what you’re thinking, and I don’t intend to advise you against it. I just hope you don’t rush and remember to take care of your body.”
Shen Yinghan nodded. “I understand.”
After hearing his response, Song Sijun also felt reassured and then said, “If you’re worried, you can write a letter back. Lin Changxu didn’t say not to send a letter.”
“I don’t know what to write. If I ask uncle about the situation, he probably won’t tell the truth. Disturbing uncle’s mind wouldn’t help.” Shen Yinghan played with the pages of the book, clearly troubled.
Song Sijun suggested, “Then just tell them about our situation, so he can be at ease.”
Hearing this, Shen Yinghan thought for a moment and nodded. “Actually, I’m a little afraid of knowing the situation in Daqing Kingdom. I don’t know how to face the emperor and the situation there. When I was a child, he used to hold me in his arms and coax me to sleep… Even now, I still hope it wasn’t the medicine that harmed my health.”
To outsiders, Shen Yinghan’s indecision might seem strange, but only those involved could understand the pain of being torn between love and hate.
It was similar to Song Sijun’s feelings toward his parents. He hated his parents for their cruelty to his sister, but he also loved them because they were his parents.
When he was at his darkest moments, he wanted to kill them with his own hands, but when he saw them, he couldn’t bring himself to do it.
Song Sijun advised, “If you haven’t thought about how to face it yet, don’t dwell on it. Your focus now should be on satisfying Lin Changxu.”
Shen Yinghan smiled bitterly. “You’re right. Here in Huoxi City, thinking too much isn’t helpful.”
“I’ll get you a pot of tea.”
.
After dinner, Xiao Ming brought Shen Yinghan’s antipyretic medicine before she went to wash the two children.
After Shen Yinghan put it on the desk to cool for a while, he remembered it after Song Sijun reminded him.
After drinking a bowl of medicine in one breath, Shen Yinghan suddenly asked, “Is Sisi sick? I think Xiao Ming also made medicine for her today.”
After hearing this, Song Sijun smiled mysteriously. “It’s not that she’s sick. The child has grown up.”
“Grown up?” Shen Yinghan looked at Song Sijun in confusion.
Song Sijun suddenly thought that Shen Yinghan also raised in a feudal society. In addition to his weak health, no one probably told him about gender matters.
Generally, when a young master from a wealthy family like Shen Yinghan reached the age of fourteen or fifteen, his elders would arrange for a maid to accompany him in the room.
But Shen Yinghan was not in good health, so the eldest princess would naturally not have asked anyone to teach him those things.
So, Shen Yinghan was probably still like a child in that regard.
