Lin Caisang chuckled.
"Where you’re from, can cousins marry each other?"
What a shocking revelation, how was she going to handle this?
"Among direct relatives, there is a distance of three thousand miles, naturally it is the same among cousins. Ziyou’s parents are merely related by marriage, never favored, had Ziyou not been so talented, the clan would have abandoned them long ago. If you look closely, he doesn’t have any blood relations with that cousin."
In families like theirs, there are always plenty of adopted sons and daughters. As long as they have some ability, they could take on the surname Sui and become a member of their clan, which was quite common.
"Alright, put on your clothes."
The wound on his back had been treated with medicine, it wasn’t suitable to be bandaged in such hot weather, so he could only wear his clothes.
"For the next few days, try to avoid any strenuous movements. Be careful even when walking, it’s best to stay in bed for a couple of days. Don’t let the wound be strained again. With the weather being so hot, if the wound doesn’t recover quickly, it could become infected."
"Caisang, have you been to Jianan City?" he asked.
"Just returned today, it’s my last trip. I don’t have to go there anymore." replied Lin Caisang.
"Oh yes, I’ve taken the father and son of the Zeng family under my wing. They’ve been instructed to contact your people if anything comes up. Will that cause any problems?"
Recalling her previous instructions to Old Man Zeng and Zeng Yulang, she asked Ya Molian again.
Ya Molian shook his head, stood up and put on his clothes.
"You can have Zhe Jue send a message later. Have you had dinner yet?"
She hadn’t had anything to eat, and she didn’t know if Grandpa and Grandma had returned from Manghuang Mountain yet.
"I just collected some stuff, there should be people at home now. You rest, I’ll go back."
After telling Ya Molian, she left. When she got to the courtyard, she had a thought and turned back to the kitchen. She found Zhe Jue and Zhen Wu, gave them the medicine, and asked them to take care of Ya Molian.
He was always the type to show off his strength. If she didn’t keep an eye on him, who knows when his wound would heal.
"Make something light, not too greasy."
"Alright, Miss Lin. Are you going to eat here?" Zhen Wu responded and asked her again.
Lin Caisang shook her head in refusal.
"If I eat here, won’t that simpleton Jiang Zuo end up eating me?"
She had just sent his sweetheart to the Golden Pearl space to be a slave. What would she say if he asked about it? Anyway, she wouldn’t reveal anything.
"Miss Lin, don’t be angry with Jiang Zuo. He was just anxious. After a few days, when his feelings have calmed down, he will understand." Zhe Jue defended Jiang Zuo in front of Lin Caisang.
No matter what, Sui Ziyou’s life was spared for now. This surely was better than dying right away and turning into a handful of yellow earth, right?
"What would I have to be angry about?" Lin Caisang said, glaring at him.
To put it bluntly, what was her relationship with Jiang Zuo? If it weren’t for Ya Molian, she wouldn’t have anything to do with Jiang Zuo. Why on earth would she fuss with him?
"However, Jiang Zuo’s ability to handle stress is indeed lacking. He needs some toughening up. No matter the situation or danger encountered, one must always retain some rationality. Otherwise, who knows how he might end up dead in the future."
