The Female Supporting Role Shows Out

Lin Wan had died silently in his previous life, without even a tomb; In this life, she had not died, but the graves and the inscriptions had been nicely done. It had to be said that this was a great irony. Ding Mujie stood in front of the tombstone, lost in thought with an indescribable expression.

Ding Xiang pulled his sleeve and whispered, "Brother, let me tell you something. In fact, Lin Wan sis is not dead, and her stature has been destroyed. The great empress can't tolerate her, so she claimed that she was dead. Yesterday, her servant came to me and asked me to give you a letter. Brother, Lin Wan sis is pitiful to have such a harsh great-grandmother. Please help her. She lives in a village in the suburb of the capital and has no one to serve her. "

When she failed to hook up with King Kang, Lin Wan thought of Ding Mujie again. It was also because Ding Mujie was too infatuated with her in the past. He obeyed her, so until now, she still thought that as long as she goes back to Ding Mujie, he would change his mind. It was a pity that Ding Mujie was deceived by her for a lifetime, his heart had been hurt, and he could never go back to the past.

"Xiang'er, it's time for you to be more cautious." Ding Mujie took a last look at the tombstone and said slowly, "Last time, it was Lin Wan who broke the gold headpiece. She couldn't explain to the great empress, so she deceived you and deliberately lured you to shake it so that she could put the blame on you. She and King Kang were consensual, not forced by circumstances. When I went to her mansion to visit her, she asked me to voluntarily call off the engagement to fulfill her wish. It was because I didn't want to bear the ruthless charge, and I refused. Some people looked indifferent, but in fact, they were warm-hearted; Some people looked gentle and kind, but in reality, they were full of evil tricks, just like Lin Wan. If you don't wish to be accused, you'd better stay away from her in the future. "

Ding Xiang was stunned upon hearing this. After a long time, she stuttered, "Bro… brother, are you telling the truth?"

Who do you believe in, Lin Wan or me? Ding Mujie asked in reply.

"Of course, it's my brother!" Ding Xiang replied at once and sighed, "Oh my God! Did Lin Wan set me up last time? How could she be so bad? She even asked you to voluntarily call off the engagement and asked you to bear the crime of being ruthless and reneging on your promise! Brother, you grew up with her, and you have such a deep relationship with her. She doesn't care about you at all. She is so terrible! 

"Don't judge a book by its cover, and be careful in the future." Ding Mujie helped Ding Xiang into the carriage while he rode on a horse and down the mountain. When he passed by a high hill, he saw a cloud of dust in front of him. The army of westward had set out today, ready to go to the frontier to fight against the Huns.

The senior General Lin and Lin Tie walked at the forefront of the army, looking very serious, followed by King Zhuang and several vice generals. The Lin family's women stood in a ten-mile pavilion not far away and watched them leave. The young men of the Lin family spent most of their life on the frontier. Even if they came back to the capital, they wouldn't stay for long. As for the women of the Lin family, they remained in the capital safely. Even though they endured the fear of losing their loved ones every day, they did not make a fuss out of it.

Lin Dan as the eldest daughter of the Lin family, was strong. When she married into the Ding family, she didn't complain. She only quietly took care of the family. Whenever her mother-in-law and sister-in-law encountered difficulties, she would try her best to help. She was so kind, but he failed to notice at all… Ding Mujie recalled the past, and he felt his heart ached. At this moment, Lin Dan sensed that someone was looking at her. She turned around and looked over. She glanced coldly at him and looked away.

Ding Mujie didn't dare to move for a long time, as if he had been cursed by someone. He waited until Lin Dan was out of sight, then only he dared let out a sigh of relief.

He was ashamed to meet Lin Dan, but he wanted to see how she was doing recently. If he couldn't make her happy, his rebirth would be meaningless, so he would try his best to change the tragedy of the Lin family.

But fate was fate. Even if he had foreseen the opportunity, even if he had been prepared, the bad news came as scheduled. The westward army was defeated by the Huns in the river trap, which led to the Huns army extending from the south to the north, the northern Shaanxi region. General Lin died on the spot, and the rest of his sons also died in battle to save him. General Lin was captured, and his whereabouts were unknown now. Left only the youngest son of the Lin family stayed in the back guard and narrowly escaped from the disaster. The Lin family was on the verge of collapse in an instant.

The emperor didn't blame the Lin clan for the defeat. Instead, he gave many rewards to comfort the old, the weak, women and children of the Lin clan. However, the Lin clan's reputation was heavily being damaged, and there were many doubts inside and outside the court. The Lin family was in a mess. The great empress and Mrs. Lin fell ill one after another, and the other concubines only knew to cry. Some concubines secretly hid their property and ran away at night.

Only Lin Dan was the calmest person in the family. She hadn't been here for a long time and had no deep feelings for the Lin family, but since she had become the real owner, she should shoulder the responsibility of the real owner. She knew that Lin Tie was definitely alive. He was the deputy commander in chief of the Western army and the soul of the Lin army. He was of great value, and the Huns would not easily kill him. If she set out now, and travel day and night to the frontier, perhaps she could find a way to save Lin Tie.

Lin Dan was a woman of action. At the thought of this, she simply packed up her stuff, picked the best horse from the stable, and left with a letter. She stole the Lin family's badge, but the guards didn't dare to stop her. They immediately opened the door and let her go. Not far after she ran, she saw a man holding a horse standing on the only way to the frontier, as if waiting for someone.

"Lin Dan, you really did run away from home!" Hearing the sound of the horse's hooves, the man looked up and showed a handsome face. It was Ding Mujie.

"Are you waiting for me?" Lin Dan pulled the reins and stopped slowly.

"Can I go to the frontier with you? Ding Mujie asked in reply.

"I'm going to the frontier to save my father. Why do you want to go?" Lin Dan frowned and looked unhappy.

Ding Mujie smiled and said, "I'm worried about you. You're going alone and a woman some more. The Lin family has helped me a lot. I can't watch you risk your life. I'll go with you." After hearing the tragic news in her previous life, Lin Dan also secretly ran away from home, but he found her in time and took her back. Then she was locked in the backyard for five years. His actual intention was to protect her from doing stupid things, but in the end, he became the one who forced her to death. Her family was dead, and she had no husband and children to rely on. She was so worried that she gradually gave up hope of life.

Now that it happened again, he would not stop her. Whatever she wanted to do, he would help her secretly. Wherever she wanted to go, he would accompany her and protect her. He would never leave her alone again.

Lin Dan waved her whip and said, "If you want to follow me, just follow me. I have to go on with my journey. I don't have time to waste with you." Then she left immediately.

Ding Mujie hurried to catch up with her.

—

The two of them traveled at once; they didn't stop for a moment. Three days later, they had already finished half of the journey. Ding Mujie thought he was a man and could take good care of Lin Dan, but he didn't expect that he would be a drag on her. The inner side of his thigh was scoured by the saddle, and his crotch was almost broken. As soon as he got off the horse, he collapsed and could not get up at all.

Lin Dan fetched some water for him to wash his face and rinsed his mouth. Then she went to the nearest town and bought two soft padding pieces to tie to his upper thigh.

"In this way, it wouldn't scour the skin. We can reach the frontier in two more days." She spoke.

"Thank you." Ding Mujie ran to the back of a big tree to tidy up his clothes and asked with concern, "Are you okay?"

"I've been practicing horsemanship since I was a child, so I'm already used to it." As Lin Dan spoke, she dealt with her prey.

Looking at her calm side face and her skilled action, Ding Mujie was full of frustration and shame.

However, Lin Dan didn't spare him time to feel sad. She urged him to eat quickly. After dinner, she trampled out the bonfire and climbed on the back of the horse. Ding Mujie tried several times before he managed to climb up. As soon as he sat properly, he felt an intense pain in his crotch and wanted to fall down in that instant. But in order not to be looked down on by Lin Dan, he held back his pain. He waved his whip and seemed to be in good spirit. Not long after he rode, he began to feel dizzy. Although he tried his best to grasp the rein, he still stumbled down.

Lin Dan was as attentive as she was. She had already noticed his abnormality. She galloped over at full speed and pulled him into her arms before he fell to the ground and placed him horizontally on the back of her horse. Ding Mujie was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat. He tilted his head with difficulty and thanked Lin Dan embarrassedly. But Lin Dan didn't look at him. She whistled with her fingers in her mouth to call the horse return.

The two horses galloped at the same pace and didn't slow down, causing a trail of yellow dust on the road.

Ding Mujie lay on the back of the horse, listening to the wind, and beside him was the warmth of Lin Dan, but his heart was in a mess. In his previous life, he had never bothered to know more about her. He only knew that she was a vulgar and shallow woman who didn't know much about writing and music. Only now did he know what the actual Lin Dan looked like. She was not rude. On the contrary, Lin Dan was natural and unrestrained; She was not shallow yet brave. It was not because she was bad, but because she was too good that no one knew how to appreciate her…

In his previous life, if he had stopped and tried to understand Lin Dan with all his heart, he wouldn't have ended up with that miserable and ridiculous ending.

Tears streamed down Ding Mujie's face when he thought of it. Suddenly, he heard Lin Dan say indifferently, "When we arrive at the next town, I'll find a place to settle you down. You can stay there for a while. I'll pick you up when I return, or you can hire some bodyguards to return to the capital city. You are a spoiled nobleman. Why do you have to suffer this with me?"

Ding Mujie couldn't feel sad anymore upon hearing this. He felt a sense of absurdity that they both were wrong. He felt that he was a delicate woman and that Lin Dan was the fearless man.

"I want to go to the frontier with you, and perhaps I can help you. Although I'm physically weak, I'm smart. Trust me." Ding Mujie tried his best to show his strengths.

Lin Dan said casually, "You're smart enough to fall for Lin Wan? I'm sorry that I didn't notice it."

Ding Mujie was speechless…
