Wanruo was a little confused. Did he let her go?

But his expression at this moment didn't look like he was going to let her go.

Peaceful, a little too peaceful.

But she had no time to think about it, so she nodded blankly and turned to leave.

After Wanruo left, Qing'an came in to serve tea. I thought that my cousin's anger would have subsided, and he would not let my cousin go. But as soon as I entered the room, I still felt my scalp tingling because of the gloomy atmosphere.

"Hey, kid." He spoke softly, placing the teacup gently next to him.

Xie Xianyu's cold eyes fell on him: "Did you also accept the medicine bag given by Xu Wanruo?"

Qing'an's heart skipped a beat and he immediately fell to his knees with a thud.

"Please forgive me, my son. I committed an act of disrespect by asking my cousin for a medicine bag. My cousin is kind and has always been kind to the servants in the mansion. She sympathized with my work outside and gave me a mosquito repellent bag. I will never do that again!"

A sneer appeared on Xie Xianyu's lips. All the servants in the mansion had given it as a gift, so she was quite generous.

"Do you all have this medicine bag?"

Qing An shuddered. "Yes, it seems so. My cousin is easy to talk to. She will give medicine to anyone who asks her. The medicine sachets my cousin makes are very effective. They can repel mosquitoes, refresh your mind, or help you sleep. They always have miraculous effects. Even the Third Madam used them often before."

Xie Xianyu's knuckles trembled as he held the medicine bag. Everyone has one, and she was using this to get rid of him?

Wanruo returned to Qiu Shui Courtyard with a slightly gloomy look on her face.

Su Yue brought her a cup of hot tea and asked worriedly, "Miss, what happened?"

The old lady's search was just an excuse. Before she left, she asked Su Yue to tell Qing'an that the old lady was looking for her. She was worried that Qing'an would never come back because she was so panicked.

"He discovered Lin Han."

Su Yue's hands trembled in shock, almost knocking over the teacup. She hurriedly held the cup with both hands: "How, how could this happen..."

Wanruo shook her head: "I argued that I had nothing to do with him, and I don't know whether he believed me or not."

"Since the eldest son has released the girl, he must have believed it."

Otherwise, with Xie Xianyu's cruelty, she would have been drowned in the lake by him by now.

But Wanruo still felt uneasy. She shook her head anxiously, "I don't know either."

But in the end, he was too lazy to even talk to her. Maybe he lost interest in her?

"Miss, don't think too much about it. Since the elder brother didn't ask any further questions, the matter should be over. The results will be announced in half a month. Just wait a little longer and leave by then. Why would you care about these things?"

Doesn’t Wanruo think so too?

But, is this really over?

She felt inexplicably panicked and increasingly uneasy. Xie Xianyu's abnormal attitude made her feel like the calm before the storm.

-

Songhe Garden.

Qing'an was still kneeling on the ground, trembling, fearing that Xie Xianyu would blame him. After waiting for a long time, he finally heard Xie Xianyu speak in a cold voice.

"Go check out that candidate named Lin Han."

Qing'an was stunned for a moment.

Xie Xianyu's eyes were cold. "Take my invitation and invite him to visit the Xie residence tomorrow."
