In a histo...
Chapter 62 World Three (Thirteen)
The old nanny reacted quickly and quickly pulled down Mrs. Luo's hand that had just been causing trouble, while thinking of a statement quickly in her mind.
It was Bao Shan who was rude just now. Madam Luo was so anxious that she did something so crude and reckless...
But before the old nanny could finish her thought, she looked up and saw Xiao Yujing's cold expression. Then she noticed that from the moment she entered the room until now, Xiao Yujing had never looked at her master and servant for even a moment.
His usually calm and steady eyes were fixed on the fallen fan. The old nanny was horrified, thinking something was wrong. Just as she was about to signal to Lady Luo beside her, an old maid suddenly appeared and grabbed her hands. A brute force came from her shoulders, and her legs gave way, forcing her to her knees.
The old nanny quickly glanced at Madam Luo beside her, only to find her in the same predicament as hers. Meanwhile, Madam Wang had already stepped between them, a gentle, dignified smile plastered on her face. Her lips parted, a cold expression on her face: "Madam Luo, when she came to our house, I had originally asked Bao Shan to treat her with courtesy. I never imagined that this would facilitate Madam Luo's evil deeds."
The old nanny wanted to open her mouth to defend herself, but her words had already been blocked. She could only cast a resentful look at Wang, then turned around and wanted to ask Xiao Yujing for help.
Xiao Yujing's eyes were dark, like a bottomless ravine, making it impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry.
His stern eyes swept over the now disheveled treasure fan.
Baoshan was pushed to the ground by Madam Luo, and the hem of her skirt hung down on the ground, covered with dust.
When Xiao Yujing entered the room, Baoshan had fallen to the ground with half of his body. But now, he had managed to sit up straight with the support of his arms.
Her hair was slightly messy, with a few strands of black hair escaping from her combed hair and hanging on her cheeks.
There were a few crystal drops of water hanging on the hair, slowly flowing down along the black hair, deepening the marks on the chest that was already soaked by water.
Baoshan knelt helplessly on the ground, her frail and slender body trembling slightly, her hair covering her face, making it impossible to tell what she looked like at the moment.
Xiao Yujing walked up to Baoshan, suddenly leaned over, stretched out his hand, and lightly picked up a few strands of black hair with his long fingers, trying to tuck them behind Baoshan's ears.
Bao Shan's body stiffened, and she raised her eyes slightly and looked into Xiao Yujing's deep eyes.
Those clear spring-like eyes were filled with sadness. Tears slid down from the red corners of the eyes and flowed down the cheeks. The slightly hot tears touched Xiao Yujing's fingertips, causing a slight pain in his heart.
Baoshan's small and upturned nose had a hint of embarrassment on it, and her soft lips were tightly pursed.
When Xiao Yujing was about to withdraw his hand, he opened his lips and let out a weak sound.
"Xiao Lang, I'm scared."
Yes, how could she not be afraid? She had just faced the overwhelming malice of Madam Luo. She was alone and could only allow herself to be tortured and humiliated, but was powerless to resist.
Baoshan moved her fingers slightly and grabbed Xiao Yujing's arm, as if only the warmth of his arm could make her feel a little at ease.
Xiao Yujing frowned, and the close distance made him subconsciously feel that something was wrong.
But when Xiao Yujing exerted a little force, he realized that the soft hand on his arm was hardly using any strength, as if it could easily pull away if Xiao Yujing showed any reluctance.
Xiao Yujing looked closely at Baoshan's eyebrows and eyes. Baoshan's eyelashes were trembling uneasily, and his eyes were staring straight at the place where the two of them were touching, and his clear eyes moved slightly.
——She was so helpless and pitiful that she didn't even dare to seek support for fear of embarrassing others.
Xiao Yujing suddenly stopped what he was doing and let Baoshan grab his arm for support.
Seeing this, Baoshan's originally uneasy expression faded a little, and she almost hugged Xiao Yujing's arm in her arms.
Mrs. Luo's spoiled and aggrieved voice echoed in the room: "You're always showing off your pity..."
Seeing Xiao Yujing looking at her, Madam Luo felt more confident. This time she was not being unreasonable, but the treasure fan was deliberately provoking her, and she pushed her in anger.
Madam Luo didn't have time to think about why Wang blocked the old nanny's mouth but left her the chance to speak.
Madam Luo explained the whole story in one go, without noticing the increasingly relaxed expression on Wang's face.
After hearing what Madam Luo said, Wang Shi took on the air of a mistress of the house and asked with a puzzled expression, "Oh? Is that really the case? Baoshan, you're breaking the rules of the mansion by doing this."
Xiao Yujing felt the soft hand on his arm trembling. Baoshan glanced at Xiao Yujing with her watery eyes, then lowered her head in panic, as if admitting the guilt that had been imposed on her.
Wang Shi knew that Bao Shan was weak, so she didn't place her hopes on her. She asked her to come out and explain, "Did anyone else see what Madam Luo said?"
The room was silent for a while, and then a weak voice was heard.
"I saw it."
Seeing that everyone's eyes were on her, Xuezhi felt a lump in her throat. With Wang's encouraging gaze, she felt a little relieved: she heard it with her own ears, and it was not a fabrication, so there was nothing to be afraid of.
So in Xuezhi's narration, she told the whole story of how Madam Luo and the old nanny were arrogant and domineering, and how their words and actions, which were ostensibly to give instructions, were actually to humiliate Baoshan.
"The old maid said that Miss Baoshan is a lowly creature who only cares about sex. No matter how much she's educated, she can't get rid of her vulgarity."
In an instant, Madam Luo felt as if she had fallen into an icy cellar. She glared at Xuezhi in disbelief and demanded, "What else?"
She stretched out her finger and pointed at Baoshan, but found that Baoshan's petite figure had been completely blocked by Xiao Yujing. She felt even colder in her heart: "Have you not heard the words she humiliated me?"
Xuezhi frowned and said, "The young lady doesn't even dare to resist, how dare you humiliate Madam Luo?"
Not only Xuezhi didn't believe it, even the old nanny beside Mrs. Luo didn't believe it. Baoshan dared to fight back against their humiliation.
Luo Niangzi was bewildered, and then she vaguely remembered that the words Bao Shan had spoken to her were so faint that only she, who was so close to her, could hear them clearly.
A feeling of powerlessness filled Ms. Luo's whole body. For the first time, she realized what it meant to have unspeakable suffering and to be wronged but unable to speak out.
Xiao Yujing used his fingertips to wipe away the crystal drops on Baoshan's cheek. The water droplets and tears mixed together and it was impossible to tell which was which.
The place where the two of them were seemed to be a world of its own, separated from the hustle and bustle around them.
It was not until Wang asked how to deal with the matter that Baoshan turned around and looked at the angry Luo Madam with a look of confusion on his face.
Xiao Yujing was multitasking, yet he still managed to notice what had just happened. He stared intently at Wang and said in a deep voice, "You will be in charge of the management of the mansion. Please handle this matter according to the rules."
Wang was overjoyed. This was Xiao Yujing recognizing her right to manage the household. If Xiao Yujing intended to protect Lady Luo, she would still find it difficult and embarrassing.
But according to what Xiao Yujing said just now, just let Wang deal with it and don't show any mercy.
Wang suddenly felt relieved and looked at the treasure fan with more eagerness.
Madam Luo still wanted to argue, but Wang Shi would never give her the chance. She didn't block her mouth just now, just to let Madam Luo speak out and stir up the mess, so as to erode Xiao Yujing's affection for her.
Now that her goal has been achieved, Madam Luo no longer has the ability to speak again.
This humiliation is over.
Bao Shan was in a panic. Now that the truth was known, Xiao Yujing was afraid that he would abandon her.
Bao Shan was reluctant, but she knew her identity and did not dare to stop Xiao Yujing. She withdrew her fingers from Xiao Yujing's arm and tried to stand up from the ground with the support of her palm.
But her feet were sore and weak that she had no strength to move. She was about to fall heavily to the ground, but Xiao Yujing stretched out his hand and put his arm around her slender waist.
A shy expression appeared on the precious fan, and she hummed softly, "Xiao Lang, I have no strength in my feet."
She didn't fall down on purpose, but took the opportunity to have physical contact with Xiao Yujing.
Xiao Yujing said nothing, but just bent down, put his hands through Bao Shanzi's legs, and with a little force, he lifted her into the air with Bao Shan's soft cry.
Surrounded by everyone's gaze, Bao Shan looked shy. She turned sideways slightly, facing her cheek to Xiao Yujing's chest, avoiding everyone's sight.
Xiao Yujing has already left.
Xuezhi looked at Wang's expression and spoke cautiously, "Madam, this young lady Baoshan is too ignorant of etiquette to actually let Young Master Xiao carry her out in public."
Wang Shi smiled, but her eyes fell on Xuezhi without any smile: "She doesn't know the rules, so what can you do?"
Wang knew clearly in her heart that Baoshan was her puppet today and was severely bullied by Madam Luo. She was able to take advantage of this opportunity to control Madam Luo and return the humiliation she had suffered in the past.
Bao Shan remained silent from beginning to end, perhaps even now unaware that she had fallen into a trap he had set. As for Xiao Yujing…it would be good if Bao Shan could gain his compassion and give birth to a child soon, only then would her position in the mansion be truly secure.
Wang knew Xuezhi's little thoughts clearly, she just wanted to replace the precious fan.
But even without the treasure fan, Wang would not use the snow branch. Her mind is so unstable that it is difficult to control her.
Wang's light glance made Xuezhi stand there for a long time before she came back to her senses.
Xiao Yujing asked the treasure fan in her arms where she lived.
Baoshan nestled in Xiao Yujing's arms, guiding him in the direction with a muffled voice. Her voice was soft, and her soft lips opened and closed, exhaling a warm breath, which hit Xiao Yujing's chest, making his body slightly stiff.
Xiao Yujing stopped at a side courtyard. It was not very spacious, but the environment was elegant and quiet.
Xiao Yujing stretched out his toes and pushed open the door, and a warm fragrance came from the house.
The decoration inside the house also shows the daughter's careful thoughts everywhere.
The layers of gauze curtains, as pink as the lotus in the pond, are entwined on both sides of the soft couch.
The soft pillows and quilts are filled with fragrance and are embroidered with various small and delicate flowers.
Xiao Yujing placed the treasure fan on the couch, and heard the treasure fan's concerned inquiries from above his head.
"Am I very heavy?"
Xiao Yujing frowned, not knowing why she had such a strange idea, and told her the truth: "No."
Every part of Baoshan's body was soft. Holding her in his arms felt like hugging a ball of extremely soft, fine cotton, or like dense sugar, white and sticky.
How could it be heavy?
Bao Shan lowered her head, her dense, straight eyelashes casting a shadow on her porcelain-white face. She said in a low voice, "That's good. Xiao Lang's expression was cold and hard just now. I thought it was because I was too heavy and tired you out."
Xiao Yujing's eyes darkened slightly, and after a moment he added uncomfortably, "You are very light."
Baoshan relaxed his brows, and his eyes, as if washed by a clear spring, looked at Xiao Yujing with a bit of joy.
The water droplets on her cheeks had been completely wiped away by Xiao Yujing.
But a few strands of black hair were stained by water marks and stuck together.
The dress on Bao Shan's body had dark stains on the chest, where large patches of water had left their mark. It was slightly chilly, making Bao Shan feel a bit cold.
She opened her mouth slightly, looking embarrassed. "Xiao Lang, could you please get me a new dress? It's in the wooden cabinet on the second floor. This dress is wet and it's very tight on me."
Xiao Yujing naturally would not postpone these trivial matters, he turned around to get his dress.
Wooden cabinet, second floor.
Seeing that it was a rather brightly colored dress, Xiao Yujing's eyes narrowed slightly, as if he had never thought that Baoshan would have such brightly colored clothes.
Xiao Yujing looked a little uncertain, turned around and asked coldly, "But this..."
Everywhere you look, there is a whiteness like snowflakes.
Baoshan had already unbuttoned her clothes and half-took off her wet dress.
