Chapter 277 Pampered Life

Xie Hanyue is no longer the pampered girl she once was. Back in the Xie family, she was truly the apple of everyone's eye, but no one expected her to end up like this. Since coming here, she has to do everything herself.

Adding to the humidity and heat, Xie Hanyue really felt like she was going crazy.

Since arriving in this godforsaken place, not a single day has passed without her missing her home; she longs to return to the capital every single day.

"Xie Hanyue, shut up and get out!"

Lu Jinzhi stormed forward, but Xie Hanyue almost instinctively hid behind Zhao Yuanqi, seeking protection.

This small action directly enraged Lu Jinzhi.

Without the slightest hesitation, he dragged her out and slapped her hard across the face: "You shameless, promiscuous woman, you're married to me and you're still so restless!"

"Lu Jinzhi!"

Zhao Yuanqi never expected that these two people would actually fight in front of him.

But before Zhao Yuanqi could react, Xie Hanyue had already charged over like a tiger descending a mountain, and began to attack Lu Jinzhi's face indiscriminately.

The two of them started fighting right in front of Zhao Yuanqi.

Zhao Yuanqi stood there in a daze, mainly because he never dreamed that he would see such a scene in his lifetime. It was truly a rare sight.

After a while, Xie Hanyue finally collapsed to the ground due to exhaustion. Then, the maids and nannies, as if it were commonplace, dragged Xie Hanyue away.

Lu Jinzhi sat angrily in her chair, glaring at Zhao Yuanqi through gritted teeth: "Look at her! Where is the slightest trace of her former obedient self? She's a complete shrew, a madwoman!"

"Don't be angry anymore. The border is unstable, and Xiao Jue will soon lead his troops to war. Things will be much easier when he's not in the capital. You can then return to the capital."

"Everything will be alright once we return to the capital."

Zhao Yuanqi came here this time to reassure Lu Jinzhi.

They had grown up together since childhood, so they knew each other very well. Zhao Yuanqi knew that Lu Jinzhi would not be able to hold on for long and that something bad was going to happen.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Lu Jinzhi's previously unpleasant expression finally softened a bit, and then he said in a low voice, "Are you telling the truth or not? Can I really go back?"

"Of course you can go back, but this time you should be more careful."

"Alright, you don't seem to be in the mood to keep me company, so I'll be going now."

Zhao Yuanqi had originally thought that since they hadn't seen each other for a long time, they could have a good drink together.

But I never expected it to turn out like this; it's truly a sad story.

The capital city, the Duke's mansion.

The biggest characteristic of this girl Baozhu is that she likes to gossip. This kind of character definitely deserves a beating, but if she uses it well, there will be unexpected surprises.

Xie Qingran was dumbfounded when she saw the secret letter that clearly described their conversation: "How did you do that?"

"Actually, it wasn't difficult; Sequoia helped me."

"Miss, these people have ulterior motives and will come back sooner or later. What are you going to do?"

Baozhu frowned, looking at Xie Qingran with a worried expression, fearing that their hard-won good situation would all vanish.

Xie Qingran knew from the moment Lu Jinzhi left that he would return sooner or later, so she wasn't surprised by this.

She simply burned the letters in her hand to ashes, then said calmly, "It's alright, coming to my side isn't a bad thing."

The Xie Qingran of today is no longer the spineless coward who first returned. Since they want to come back so badly, then let them come back.

Seeing Xie Qingran like this, Baozhu finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then said with a smile, "Miss is not afraid, and neither am I."

"Alright, the child is all grown up now, it's time to throw a proper banquet."

"Tell your men to prepare well and not to disgrace our Duke's Mansion."

Xie Qingran smiled and looked at Baozhu, then began to prepare the guest list for the banquet.

Such a banquet sounds simple, but it is actually quite tiring to organize. Xie Qingran had just finished her postpartum confinement and her body had not yet fully recovered, so Baozhu took care of everything, afraid that Xie Qingran would get tired.

Xuelu.

The renowned doctor, seeing Xiao Jue's smug expression, was both amused and exasperated. He said helplessly, "You...you're better now, aren't you?"

"This is the medicine you gave me, how could there be a problem?"

"Wait, what's with that expression? Did you not know what the effects of this medicine would be like in the first place?"

Xiao Jue frowned and looked at the divine doctor with displeasure.

"These are all minor matters; don't worry about these details."

"Now that you are healthy and your wife and children are also doing well, I should be going."

The miracle doctor waved his hand, completely ignoring these words.

He was always a wanderer by nature, and he only stayed for Xiao Jue's sake. Now it's time for him to leave.

"I thought you would stay in the capital forever."

Xiao Jue sighed and looked at the divine doctor with some helplessness. He really didn't understand why the doctor liked to wander around so much.

"You want to keep me here, to make me stay in one place for the rest of my life?"

"I wouldn't be willing to do that."

Without the slightest hesitation, the miracle doctor simply waved his hand.

He brought a small medicine box with him when he came, and he left with the same box, except that when he left, the small medicine box was stuffed full of silver notes given to him by Xiao Jue.

Seeing his childhood friend leave without warning, Xiao Jue felt a sense of helplessness. He shook his head, sighed, and turned to go back, but unexpectedly, he saw Xie Qingran walking out from inside.

"He's gone?" Xie Qingran smiled and walked to Xiao Jue's side, taking his hand. "What, are you reluctant to let him go?"

Xiao Jue shook his head and said calmly, "Of course not. I know his personality and respect his choice. I'm just a little uncomfortable."

"It's not shameful to be reluctant to part with something."

Xie Qingran raised an eyebrow and looked at Xiao Jue.

"Shall we go to Golden Pavilion for a delicious meal?"

"I've already asked someone to reserve a table for us. Don't worry, it won't take up too much of your time."

Xiao Jue was somewhat surprised to hear this. He glanced at Xie Qingran and then said, "Given the current situation outside, are you really going out to eat with me?"

"Let others say what they want, as long as we live our lives well, isn't that enough?"
