Chapter 144: All her belongings
As in the simulation, the body was sealed and delivered to Dali Temple.
Linlang and Linlang were in close contact for too long. As expected, they both fell ill.
Her throat was dry and her head was burning. It seemed as if someone had given her a spoonful of something, and her mouth was full of bitterness.
Linlang trembled and forced her heavy eyelids to open.
What came into view was the handsome face of a young boy with a worried look on his face.
"Sister, are you awake?"
"Xiaochu?" She stretched out her hand to take the bowl of medicine, and drank it in one gulp, her face wrinkled in pain.
After waiting for a while, he looked up at He Chu and asked, "Why are you here?"
"I heard that the maid at the gate said you were sick, so I came here to see my sister." The young boy changed the towel on her forehead very considerately.
As expected, this brother's pain was not in vain.
Linlang was moved and burst into tears in her heart, but she still had to work hard to maintain the stable image that a sister should have.
"Sister, actually I have something to ask for..." He Chu suddenly spoke, looking very embarrassed and awkward.
This was the first time he took the initiative to ask for help.
The child grew up and finally knew how to rely on others. Linlang suddenly became nervous.
"Say! Speak quickly! Sister, I will help you even if I go up to the mountain of swords or to the sea of fire!"
"You don't have to go through mountains of swords and seas of fire." The little boy was so frightened that he waved his hands and said, "I will never risk the lives of my sister and my master. I just... want to borrow some silver from my sister."
"Is it for Grand Eunuch He?" Linlang understood immediately after thinking about it.
"Yes." He Chu accepted the empty medicine bowl and nodded, "Master bought these two secret techniques for me and went bankrupt. He also borrowed a lot of money from a bank outside and has to pay it back every year."
"Originally, it was just enough every time, but this year a young eunuch accidentally broke a precious vase that was to be moved to Rong Zhaoyi Palace. The master took pity on him and secretly covered it himself..."
At this point, he paused, his expression filled with indescribable sadness and sorrow.
"It's a pity that he was still beaten to death. He was only over ten years old this year..."
The words were spoken in a very soft voice, but Linlang felt as if her heart had been stabbed.
In the eyes of an elephant, the life of an ant is like dust, easily blown away.
She patted He Chu on the shoulder and tried to tell him softly: "So, we all need to live and live well."
Bending down and taking out a small locked box from under the bed, Linlang took off the key rope from her neck and handed it to him, "Xiao Chu, everything my sister has is here."
She supports herself through her cooking skills.
In the past six months, not only the Queen Mother, but also other concubines would entrust her to cook food after becoming famous, so she received many rewards.
At least these are definitely enough to help Mr. He get through this difficult time.
This box is obviously all her current wealth.
Although He Chu was not really an eleven or twelve year old at heart, his eyes were still a little red, "Sister, thank you very much..."
Linlang had already given him too many good things, and he didn't dare to ask for more.
If it hadn't been for the fact that Manager He had no choice this time and was looking sad every day as the date approached, he would never have come to Linlang to ask for help.
Originally he was still struggling with when and how to talk to her, but when he heard that she was sick, he felt anxious and simply mentioned it directly while taking the opportunity to come to take care of her.
Originally, I was worried that the other party would change their opinion of me and think that I was greedy for money.
