C235 To draw the ground into a prison

Du Jinse was still in a daze.

"Since you came to the manor, why didn't you see me?" Shi Er let go of Du Jinse.

Du Jinse looked at Du Shier silently.

"Why would I want to see you?"

Shi Er stared blankly, he did not know how to reply to her.

He thought for a moment. "The prince said …"

Shi San stopped Shi Er, "You have to remember your identity, you signed a indenture contract, if Madam wants to see you, she will naturally ask someone to pass it on to me. If I don't want to see you, what right do you have to request Madam?"

Du Jinse looked at Shi San suspiciously. He must have interrupted Shi Er on purpose.

"What did you just say the prince promised you?"

Even if he dies right in front of my eyes, I don't need to care about him. As long as I protect you well, that's fine, but you don't want to see me, you don't want to see me. You just threw me into this manor.

Shi Er looked at Du Jinse with a wronged expression. He had already signed the indenture contract, why was she still unwilling to believe him?

Du Jinse glanced at Shi San, "Did the Duke really say that?"

Why was he so stupid?

Shi San lowered his head, "It's better for Madam to ask the Duke."

That's true.

Du Jinse looked at Shi Er, "You want me to trust you, but it's actually not difficult. I've told you before, you're not allowed to leave the manor, yet you want to leave?

"I …" Shi Er wanted to explain herself.

Du Jinse raised her hand to stop him from talking.

"As a person, the most important thing is honesty. I don't want to see you because until now, I have been unable to trust you. The reason why I made an agreement with you and forbade you to leave the manor is a test in itself."

"Before I allow you to leave the manor, you leave without permission. How can I trust you? I did not tell you to leave the manor. "

Shi San looked at Du Jinse.

Shi Er looked at Du Jinse, "You should understand that what I'm telling you is the truth."

Du Jinse nodded his head, "I believe you are telling the truth. You wanted to kill the Duke back then, and I believe that you truly wanted to kill him too."

Du Jinse lowered her eyes, "Shi Er, even if you said that I saved your life, but you also saved mine. We should be even now, so why must you insist on staying by my side?"

Shi Er remained silent.

Du Jinse took a deep breath, "In this world, because there is the Prince, I still have a trace of nostalgia. If I lose the Prince, I would rather die than gamble, do you understand?"

She herself did not have any prejudice towards Shi Er, and was even grateful to him. After all, he was someone who had once shared life and death situations with others.

"Same." Shi Er said absentmindedly.

"Like what?" Du Jinse frowned.

Shi Er looked at Du Jinse seriously, "I have always lived in darkness, and no one has ever given me the slightest bit of warmth. It is you who have made me feel that there is also warmth between people."

Du Jinse had only saved him because he was injured.

Shi San looked at Shi Er, then looked at Du Jinse, "Just because Madame saved you, you have to repay me with your own body?"

Du Jinse looked at Shi San coldly, "What are you saying? What do you mean by betrothal with your body? "

Shi San immediately slapped himself in an interesting manner, "A slip of the tongue, report it to me."

Du Jinse frowned, she did not have the time to bother with him.

This manor is my property, and the people inside are the people I need to protect. I do not wish for myself to change this world, I only hope that the people who live in this manor are like those who live in a paradise where the sun rises and the sun sets. The greatest concession that I can make is that you stand guard over me here, until I can fully trust you and trust you to not do anything that would harm my master.

Du Jinse did not avoid her gaze when she looked at Shi Er.

"What if you refuse to trust me?" Shi Er asked.

"I'm not trying to restrict your movements. You can leave at any time. As long as you say that you're not willing to stay, I'll immediately break the contract."

Shi Er nodded.

"On the premise that I no longer ask to follow you, right?"

Du Jinse looked at Shi Er. If she did not deny it, it would be equivalent to admitting it.

Shi Er took a deep breath, "Alright, I promise you, I will protect the villa well."

After Shi Er finished speaking, he walked back.

Du Jinse stood still and watched.

Shi Er took a few steps forward and turned his head, "This is your last home, right?"

Du Jinse felt pain in her heart, and nodded, "That's right."

Shi Er nodded his head to show that he understood.

Du Jinse watched him leave, feeling a little down.

For some things, if one didn't point it out, one could still deceive himself. Once this layer was torn apart, it would truly be painful to have the bones and tendons attached to it.

Shi San was a little baffled.

What did Shi Er mean?

Why did it feel like he was a little intimate with his wife?

However, looking at Madam's open appearance, it didn't seem like it.

Forget it, why should he bother with this?

"Madam, it's getting late. Let's hurry back."

Du Jinse was shocked, "My horse."

Shi San was speechless, and then he remembered.

"Madam, the horse told me to stay there and graze."

Du Jinse heaved a sigh of relief.

"Not bad, I just got to know him well and then changed him. There's trouble."

So Madame knows that on the battlefield, horses are the life of cavalry, Madame has just made several fatal mistakes. First, you have to keep your eyes and ears focused on the surroundings, and you can't ignore the road ahead just because you're talking to someone. Second, when the horse is frightened, you don't let go of the reins, you have to pull the reins, and you have to lean forward …

Du Jinse listened attentively.

Shi San was finally done speaking, and he glanced at Du Jinse.

"Did you all understand?"

Du Jinse nodded.

"Thank you." Du Jinse said sincerely.

It was obvious that Shi San was really going to teach her again.

Shi San rubbed his nose, turned his head, and said, "You don't have to thank me. I just feel that if you have the power to protect yourself, we wouldn't need to be too distracted in taking care of you."

After all, what they died for was the Prince Mo, not this woman. It was as the Prince had said, between the Duke and her, they would not hesitate to choose the Duke.

Just a moment ago, Shi San understood even more clearly that the Duke wasn't wrong. When Du Jinse was in danger, they would not risk their lives.

Shi San even thought that as long as there were no problems with that Shi Er, if he followed the duke out for the battle, he could protect Du Jinse.

However, since the Madam did not trust him, he, Shi San, did not dare to trust her either.

On the way back, the two of them thought about their own matters in silence.

Reaching the city, Shi San found the coachman from Prince Mo’s Manor who was waiting there all along, and told Du Jinse to sit in the palanquin. With her riding skills, she could also just run around the countryside, and after entering the city, she would obediently sit in the palanquin, she would be extremely responsible to the citizens of the capital.
