Chapter 135 Surprise

This time, Xie Qingran reacted. She turned around and walked towards the cabinet, opened it, saw a box, took it, and handed it to Xiao Jue.

Xiao Jue opened the box and took out the key and seal inside.

"From now on, you are my wife, and you will be in charge of all matters in the inner quarters of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion."

"Xie Qingran, you chose this path yourself. I hope you won't regret it."

Xiao Jue held the key, staring intently at Xie Qingran.

On the very first day of their marriage, he handed over the power of managing the household affairs to her, which can be seen as a sign of his wholehearted trust and sincerity.

Xie Qingran stretched out her hands and presented them to Xiao Jue: "Your Highness, rest assured, I will definitely manage this household well!"

"I trust you."

Xiao Jue solemnly handed the key in his hand to her.

"I've spoiled my younger siblings. You're going to suffer some hardship in the future."

"Don't worry, they're just two children. I have a way to deal with them."

Xie Qingran smiled confidently, looked down at the key in her hand, and finally felt a little more at ease.

Before marrying into the family, Xie Qingran thought that everything would be fine once she got married, but now that she's actually married into the family, she's still a little lost.

Looking at Xiao Jue sitting in the wheelchair, Xie Qingran thought for a moment, walked over, and pushed his wheelchair to the bedside.

"Your Highness, tonight is our wedding night, and it's getting late. Shall we go to sleep?"

Xie Qingran knew that Xiao Jue was not in good health and must be really tired after a day of running around.

After she finished speaking, she reached out to unbutton Xiao Jue's clothes.

"what you do?"

Xiao Jue grabbed Xie Qingran's wrist, preventing her from taking another step.

Xie Qingran was also stunned for a moment. She looked up and met Xiao Jue's flushed cheeks, and then realized what he was bothered by.

With a mischievous glint in his eye, he immediately smiled and said, "Young Master, we should go to sleep. It's getting late."

"Sleep...sleep is sleep, why are you taking off my clothes?" Xiao Jue's eyebrows were tightly furrowed, as if she were a young wife about to be violated.

Xie Qingran seemed to have discovered something extraordinary, and leaned forward, looking at Xiao Jue with a face full of curiosity: "Young Master, are you shy? Why is your face red?"

"presumptuous!"

"Step back!"

Xiao Jue forced himself to sit up straight, trying to solidify his authority.

Seeing that he was genuinely anxious, Xie Qingran smiled gently, withdrew her hand, stood up, and gave him a passionate look before opening the door: "Hongshan, help the young master with his washing and dressing. The young master is tired today and needs to rest well!"

Hongshan rushed in, paused for a moment when she saw Xiao Jue's flushed face, then strode over and carefully examined Xiao Jue's forehead: "Young Master, do you have a fever? Why is your face so red? Are you feeling unwell?"

"Shut up!"

"Get on with your work!"

Xiao Jue was already annoyed because he had blushed from being teased, and now that Hong Shan had unintentionally exposed him, he felt even more ashamed.

Hongshan awkwardly touched his nose, feeling completely bewildered. He had no idea what had just happened inside the room. Now, seeing Xiao Jue's fierce expression, he could only reluctantly reach out and carefully help him change and wash.

Throughout the entire process, Xie Qingran stood by with her arms crossed, watching carefully and meticulously noting down every step.

Now that she's married into the family, she'll definitely treat Xiao Jue and their two children well in the future.

Xie Qingran glanced at Xiao Jue, then turned and walked outside.

Seeing her leave, Xiao Jue finally breathed a sigh of relief, then frowned and looked at Hong Shan with displeasure: "How could this woman be so rude?"

"You two are husband and wife, so logically speaking, it shouldn't be considered rude, right?" Hongshan looked at Xiao Jue with a mixture of amusement and exasperation: "Young Master, are you shy?"

Xiao Jue was speechless when facing Xie Qingran, but he had no temper when facing Hong Shan.

He scoffed, "Are you looking for death?"

Hongshan was dissatisfied. She only knew how to be tough on him, why didn't she try to be tough on Xie Qingran?

While Xie Qingran was out of the room, Xiao Jue tidied himself up, thought for a moment, and finally lay down on the bed, silently waiting for Xie Qingran to return.

Xie Qingran then had someone take her to Xiao Yanran's courtyard.

Xiao Yanran and Xiao Yu are both still young. They live in the same courtyard. The courtyard is quiet. Xiao Yanran is sitting quietly in her room, preparing to go to sleep.

Seeing Xie Qingran push open the door and walk in, Xiao Yanran was a little surprised: "Sister Xie, what brings you here?"

"I'll keep you company." Xie Qingran smiled gently, walked over, and sat down next to Xiao Yanran. "Your brother is getting married. You must be feeling very disappointed and scared, right?"

Xiao Yanran was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then she didn't dare to move. She didn't know whether she should nod.

"I was a young girl once too, so I understand."

"Today, I'm here with you, and I will be here from now on. In this family, no matter who dares to bully you, I will stand up for you."

Xie Qingran patted Xie Yanran's head, then personally washed her face and feet, and after cleaning her up, she took off her layers of wedding robes and lay down on Xiao Yanran's bed.

In the darkness, Xiao Yanran still cautiously asked, "Sister, are you afraid of brother, so you came to find me?"

"No, I just wanted to keep you company." Xie Qingran pulled the blanket up to hide her guilty conscience.

She truly didn't have the courage to face Xiao Jue alone on their wedding night; this was the best course of action.

New house.

Xiao Jue waited until midnight, but Xie Qingran didn't return. He sat up angrily and asked, "Where did she go?"

"The Crown Princess is currently at Qinghe Courtyard."

"She's already asleep."

Sequoia even thoughtfully added a sentence.

What?

Thinking back on all the things Xie Qingran had done to him, Xiao Jue belatedly realized what had happened and angrily slammed his fist on the bed: "You little brat, how dare you play me!"

Sequoia silently shrank back, clearly not wanting to get involved in the topic.

The next day, early morning.

Xie Qingran got up early, changed Xiao Yanran into a nice outfit, and personally stood in front of the mirror to comb her hair.

"Wow, Sister Xie, you're amazing! This looks so beautiful!"

Xiao Yanran smiled, her eyes crinkling as she looked at herself in the mirror, her face full of surprise.

"If you like, I'll comb your hair every day, okay?"

Xie Qingran smiled, took her hand, and walked together toward the dining room.
