Chapter 942 Bao'er's Thoughts
"Bao'er, no!"
Upon seeing this, Old Man Qin cried out in anguish.
If he had known this would happen, he should have handed over the money. After all, Lin Ping was already dead, so there was no need for him to be so persistent.
Just when Qin Bao'er thought her life was over, her arm stopped in the distance, unable to move at all, and the sharp dagger fell to the ground.
"Compared to tens of thousands of taels of silver, your life is more important. You must not do anything foolish again in the future."
A familiar and warm voice came from behind Qin Bao'er; it could only be Lin Ping.
Qin Bao'er froze, then threw herself into Lin Ping's arms without hesitation, bursting into tears: "Brother Lin, Bao'er thought you were dead, sob sob..."
In broad daylight, Qin Bao'er cried in Lin Ping's arms. If she couldn't marry him in this life, probably no one else would.
"Bao'er, come down quickly! So many people are watching! It's not good for your reputation!" Lin Ping said anxiously. He knew the power of gossip, and if more people saw it, they would definitely gossip about Qin Bao'er.
"No! I want to keep holding Brother Lin like this forever," Qin Bao'er said, shaking her head.
Lin Ping was not only worried about Qin Bao'er's reputation, but also afraid of Jiang Yunying's murderous eyes.
"Bao'er, don't be rude!" Old Man Qin got up from the ground and scolded angrily.
"She's just a child, it's alright, Mr. Qin, please don't take offense." Lin Ping smiled calmly and even patted Qin Bao'er's head.
If the two were siblings, they would naturally not be the subject of gossip, which is also Lin Ping's cleverness.
A gentle pat on the head is a girl's worst enemy, and Qin Bao'er immediately became much more obedient, slowly releasing her arms from Lin Ping, her face as red as a ripe apple.
"Don't be afraid, Bao'er. From now on, no one will be able to hurt you," Jiang Yunying said as she came over to comfort her.
"Sister Jiang..."
Upon seeing Jiang Yunying, Qin Bao'er was visibly guilty, feeling she had let her down.
"It's alright, this scoundrel's heart has many pieces, I can give you one," Jiang Yunying said with a smile.
As a woman, she knew that Qin Bao'er's feelings for Lin Ping were not those of a brother and sister, so she left the choice to Lin Ping himself.
"Sister Jiang, you've misunderstood. Bao'er knows she's not good enough for Brother Lin. She only asks to stay by his side as a maid and serve you for the rest of her life," Qin Bao'er said humbly.
"You scoundrel, this girl has fallen in love with you. Choose for yourself," Jiang Yunying said coldly in Lin Ping's ear.
This situation was somewhat unexpected. Lin Ping couldn't understand why Qin Bao'er would like him, and even be willing to become a maid.
He only treated Qin Bao'er like a little sister, and had no romantic feelings for her at all.
“Bao’er, you must remember that all people are equal. You have no obligation to serve me,” Lin Ping said earnestly.
Upon hearing this, Qin Bao'er's tears fell in a steady stream, her blushing face streaked with tears.
"It's alright, Bao'er isn't sad. Bao'er knows she's not good enough for Brother Lin, and she knows she's not qualified to be your maid."
The little girl said with a pitiful expression, already crying her eyes out.
In her view, Lin Ping had rejected her, and she was not even worthy of being called Lin Ping's maid.
How can you say you're not heartbroken? You've already cried your eyes out!
Lin Ping was innocent; he hadn't expected Qin Bao'er to misunderstand him.
Not having an obligation to serve him doesn't mean she's not qualified to serve him! This highlights the importance of writing skills, it's just a pity that Qin Bao'er never went to school.
"Bao'er, that's not what I meant. I meant I don't need you to serve me!" Lin Ping hurriedly explained.
Qin Bao'er burst into tears, unable to contain her grievances any longer.
Is there any difference between not needing to be served and not being worthy of being served?
Qin Bao'er had already been very humble in this relationship, but she never expected to be trampled on even more.
"What a scoundrel!" Jiang Yunying glared at Lin Ping, then pulled Qin Bao'er's hand and said:
“This dog of a man has hands and feet and doesn’t need Bao’er to serve him. He said those things just now because he was afraid of making you feel wronged.”
Women understand women better. After hearing Jiang Yunying's words, Qin Bao'er's crying subsided considerably, and she cast a humble glance at him, "Brother Lin, do you really not mind Bao'er's situation?"
“With his unclean body, how could he have the right to look down on Bao’er? But you also know that we are people of the martial world, and we have no choice in what we do. We can’t stay in Meizhou City forever. Following us will only lead to suffering,” Jiang Yunying continued to comfort him.
"Bao'er isn't afraid of hardship. Bao'er can do your laundry and cook for you. She'll definitely be of help," Qin Bao'er said earnestly.
Jiang Yunying was utterly speechless; she knew that a young girl experiencing first love was beyond saving.
Special circumstances require special measures, Jiang Yunying suddenly said, her face darkening.
"But you don't know martial arts, you'll become a burden to him!"
Qin Bao'er fell silent. Apart from washing clothes and cooking, she was indeed of no use at all.
"It's okay. If we encounter any danger, don't worry about me. Bao'er isn't afraid of death."
This is the little girl's last bit of persistence.
"But this scoundrel is loyal and righteous. Even if it costs him his life, he won't abandon you. Take this time for example, if it weren't for the safety of the people, he could have killed the commander directly."
Jiang Yunying continued.
Qin Bao'er fell silent; she knew Jiang Yunying was right.
Just as she was heartbroken, Jiang Yunying continued, "That scoundrel has one flaw: he's obsessed with money. As long as Bao'er makes the hot pot restaurant bigger and stronger, he'll definitely come to see you every year!"
A glimmer of hope appeared in Qin Bao'er's eyes, and she nodded, saying, "Don't worry, Sister Jiang, Bao'er will definitely make the hot pot restaurant a great success!"
"My wife is truly amazing!" Lin Ping exclaimed in admiration.
He had been eavesdropping the whole time. Even though he didn't like the term "dog man," it didn't seem so bad coming from Jiang Yunying's mouth.
"Sister Jiang, what should we do now? They're going to steal this money." Qin Bao'er realized the importance of the money again.
"Don't worry, after you left that day, that dog of a man got rid of his worries and killed the dog commander. Now he is leading a large army to approach, and Meizhou City will no longer be under the control of the Shushan Sword Sect."
Seeing Qin Bao'er's convinced expression, Jiang Yunying finally realized how satisfying it was to lie.
She also wondered if Lin Ping often lied to her like this, after all, that scoundrel was very good at deceiving people.
Facing Jiang Yunying's sharp gaze, Lin Ping shivered. He knew that his eighth brother was going to be in trouble tonight.
Just as Jiang Yunying said, before these people could continue to rob, a massive army had already appeared.
"Listen up, Shushan disciples! This place is completely surrounded. I, the general, give you all the time to evacuate within one incense stick's time." Zhang Rong's voice echoed throughout the valley.
