32. Chapter 32 Blind Man

After realizing what his fingertips were touching, a hint of embarrassment flashed across Pei Xiuhan's eyes. He had lived for more than twenty years and had never felt so embarrassed.

Xiaoxiao also felt his touch, and her clear eyes widened instantly. Her already dizzy head became even more dizzy, and she felt a surge of blood.

She subconsciously loosened her hand that was pinching her nose. As soon as she loosened her hand, blood started flowing again, and two drops even dripped onto Pei Xiu Han's hand.

Pei Xiuhan's eyelids twitched, and he finally came back to his senses. He quickly reached out and pinched the little girl's nose, "Don't move."

After meeting his stern expression, Xiaoxiao's dizzy head gradually became clearer. She didn't dare to move and reached out to pinch it, but Pei Xiuhan didn't let go.

Hearing the noise inside, the guard realized something was wrong and hurried in to check on the situation. Pei Xiu ordered in a cold voice, "Call the imperial physician."

Xiaoxiao's heart skipped a beat and she quickly shook her head, "No, I'm fine."

The guards had already run out.

Xiaoxiao felt a little desperate, she just felt that it was all over. Woohoo, if the imperial physician found out why she was bleeding from the nose, it would be too embarrassing.

Fortunately, the nosebleed was still strong and stopped after being pinched for a while. Pei Xiuhan breathed a sigh of relief after the bleeding stopped. A servant had already brought him a basin of clean water.

Xiaoxiao felt extremely ashamed and didn't dare to look at him at all. After cleaning the bloody area, she stood up like a thief and tried to slip away again.

Pei Xiuhan recovered from the pain and returned to normal. He reminded himself in his heart that he should be more careful in the future, after all, the little girl had grown up.

Seeing her trying to slip away again, he couldn't help but laugh, "Zhang Xiaoxiao, a set of jewelry scared you like this?"

Xiaoxiao's eyes were a little evasive, and she looked guilty. She, she didn't say it because of the jewelry. Xiaoxiao didn't dare to refute. Her timid look was seen as a tacit agreement in Pei Xiuhan's eyes.

"Promising."

He threw down two words and went to wash his hands. When the sticky blood was washed away, the soft touch on his fingertips was also washed away.

The imperial physician arrived soon. After he finished examining Xiaoxiao and saw that she was not seriously injured, he let her go. The maid then sent the jewelry back to Su Yuexuan.

Xiaoxiao didn't dare to look for him at all now. She accepted the jewelry obediently. When she returned to the room, she threw herself on the bed in frustration and buried her face in the pillow. She felt so embarrassed that she had never felt so embarrassed in her life.

I want to cry.

She was stunned for a while, then sat up again. She couldn't help but touch her chest with her little hand. Oh, it was just as Mu Wen said, so small. No wonder she didn't react at all even when Brother Pei accidentally touched it!

Xiaoxiao sighed and buried herself again. This time, she not only felt ashamed, but also felt a strong sense of frustration.

Xiaoxiao didn't even know when she fell asleep that night. When she woke up the next day, her depressed mood had subsided a little.

After breakfast, she sat in front of the dressing table and combed her hair carefully. When she saw the jewelry in the dressing box, Xiaoxiao pursed her lips. For some reason, she suddenly thought of his words, "My little girl must have everything she deserves."

Xiaoxiao somehow picked up the gem-studded butterfly double flower earrings and the coral beaded hairpin and put them on one by one.

She couldn't help but look at the mirror. Looking at herself in the mirror, she was stunned. The girl in the mirror had bright eyes, white teeth, delicate features, and was indescribably beautiful.

Xiaoxiao touched her cheek and finally understood why others always said she was extremely beautiful. Thinking of Brother Pei's indifferent look yesterday, she felt a little depressed. As expected, he was just as the rumors said, and was unmoved by women.

I don’t know if it’s because he only has Gu Zhen in his heart that he ignores other women.

Xiaoxiao couldn't help feeling a little sour in her heart. For the first time in her life, she was so envious of someone.

She calmed herself down for a while before taking off her hairpin and earrings. She was not used to dressing so formally.

After she had packed up, she went to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. Lu Zhu had something to do today and did not follow her. She only sent a few guards to take her to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

When Xiaoxiao arrived at the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, Muxi had also arrived at the main room. Several people were waiting for her. Seeing Xiaoxiao, Muwen stood up first and took Xiaoxiao's soft little hand, "We've been waiting for you."

Xiaoxiao curled her lips, then bowed to Mrs. Zhong and greeted her.

Today, Zhong was wearing a dark blue jacket embroidered with phoenixes and peonies, and a light-colored skirt. She looked very elegant. She smiled and held Xiaoxiao's other hand, saying angrily, "Why are you being so polite to your aunt? Let's go. It's just the right time to leave."

The three little girls followed Zhong out. The sky was particularly blue today, and the clouds were piled up layer by layer. It was very beautiful at first glance.

The four men got on the carriage one after another, and the guards followed behind them. These people were dressed in light yellow uniforms and followed the carriage in an orderly manner. Each one was stronger than the other. When passers-by saw them, they unconsciously stepped back.

It was not too late when the carriage stopped at the gate of the Duke of Anguo's Mansion. Despite this, there were already several carriages parked at the gate. These carriages were very spacious and extremely magnificent in appearance. Even the wood they were made of was top-grade golden nanmu, which was extremely luxurious.

The servants were lining up and pulling the carriage towards the mansion.

As soon as they got off the carriage, a servant came to greet them and took them to Mingyue Hall. Old Madam Zhang was sitting at the top of the table. She was wearing a light grey dress with a crane pattern. Although her hair was white, she looked very energetic.

Mrs. Zhong brought the three little girls to greet Old Lady Zhang. Everyone in the room unconsciously cast their eyes on Xiaoxiao. Most of them had never seen Xiaoxiao, but they vaguely guessed her identity. Seeing how beautiful she was, almost everyone present believed the rumor that the Regent wanted to send her to the palace.

After Zhang finished her birthday congratulations, she asked someone to bring up the gifts.

Mrs. Zhang smiled and said to Zhang: "Sister Wen and Sister Xi are becoming more and more beautiful."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Xiaoxiao and said to Zhang: "This little girl has really delicate features. Is she Xiaoxiao?"

Mrs. Zhong smiled and said, "Yes, today is your birthday. This little girl really admires your elegance and grace back then, so I brought her here so she can celebrate your birthday with you."

Old Madam Zhang came from a military family and had fought in the battlefield when she was young. She was a woman who was as brave as any man. Xiaoxiao had indeed heard Mrs. Zhong talk about her deeds, and her eyes sparkled when she looked at her. After hearing Mrs. Zhong's words, she stepped forward, bowed, and congratulated her obediently.

Her voice was soft and sweet, and although she was extremely beautiful, she didn't have the slightest bit of pride in her. Her eyes were also extremely clear. Old Madam Zhang was very fond of her. She pulled Xiaoxiao to her side and had a good time being affectionate with her. At the end, she said to her granddaughter-in-law beside her, "Old Third, come over and take a closer look at this little girl. Who knows, she might be pregnant with a little girl too."

There are many men in the Anguo Mansion, but only one little girl. The old lady has always hoped that there would be more beautiful girls in the mansion.

Wei came out with a smile and said, "My granddaughter-in-law has been watching you. Such a pretty girl is really lovable."

The other noble ladies also praised Xiaoxiao. They all wanted to make friends with the Regent, and now that they had finally seen the real person, they almost praised her as the reincarnation of a goddess. Xiaoxiao felt a little embarrassed, and her face turned red.

Seeing Xiaoxiao so embarrassed that she wanted to crawl into the ground, Mu Wen smiled secretly. Unconsciously, the room was full of people. No matter which lady came in, she would be amazed when she saw Xiaoxiao. The girl was obviously not wearing any makeup, with only a gold hairpin inserted diagonally in her hair. She was dressed very simply, but she overshadowed all the beautiful girls in the room.

She is truly stunning.

Old Lady Zhang did not restrict the little girls. After the room was full of people, she asked the only girl in the house to take the young girls to the greenhouse to appreciate the flowers.

Xiaoxiao walked with Muxi and Muwen. After staying in the greenhouse for a while, Muxi wanted to change clothes, so she pulled Xiaoxiao with her.

Xiaoxiao has a good temper, and even though she didn't want to change clothes, she went with her obediently.

After arriving at the bathroom, Mu Xi discovered that she had her period. She cried and called Xiaoxiao in. She regretted not letting the maid follow her. Her period was in the past two days, and the maid would prepare a menstrual belt for her when she went out.

Seeing her sad face, Xiaoxiao found it a little funny. Somehow, she remembered her first period. She felt embarrassed and cried for a long time in front of Brother Pei.

She quickly comforted Mu Xi, "Don't be afraid, I'll go find the maid and bring her to you as soon as possible."

Mu Xi wasn't afraid. She was just afraid that Xiao Xiao would think she was a troublemaker, so she cried and acted pitiful on purpose, hoping to win Xiao Xiao's sympathy. Unexpectedly, the little girl was still trying to comfort her. She sighed and waved at Xiao Xiao, "Go quickly, and be careful."

Xiaoxiao nodded, turned around and ran out. After walking for a while, Xiaoxiao found that she seemed to have taken the wrong road. The Duke of Anguo's Mansion was the same size as the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, but the layout was slightly different. Each courtyard of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion had its own characteristics, while the courtyards of the Duke of Anguo's Mansion basically looked the same. The further Xiaoxiao walked, the more unsure she became about which way to turn. What was strange was that there was not even a maid along the way.

Unconsciously, she walked to the bamboo forest. There was a small wooden house in the forest. Xiaoxiao heard the sound of a piano coming from the house.

Xiaoxiao simply walked over and planned to ask for directions. She estimated that she wouldn't be able to get out even if she walked around twice on her own.

When she heard footsteps, the piano music in the room stopped. Xiaoxiao walked to the front of the wooden house. She did not go in, but politely said, "Excuse me, may I ask for directions?"

A moment later, she heard the sound of a wheelchair turning, and a man came out pushing it. He was dressed in a snow-white brocade robe, his black hair tied up with a single band. His long eyebrows slanted down to his temples, his eyes as sharp as a knife. Although he was born with a graceful figure, his eyes were unusually sinister. He looked in Xiaoxiao's direction as if he were looking at a dead object, "I know I'm disturbing you, but why don't you get out of here right away."

Xiaoxiao had never seen someone with such a bad temper before, and she was stunned for a moment. She pursed her lips and was about to leave tactfully when she realized that the man seemed to be blind. His eyes, though terrifying, were not very focused.

Xiaoxiao was a little surprised.

When he noticed her gaze on his, a fierce look flashed in Mo Chuan's eyes. He grabbed the armrest of the wheelchair, and a trace of violence surged in his eyes. Before he wanted to kill her, he said coldly: "I told you to get out, can't you hear me?"

After Mo Chuan finished speaking, he turned his wheelchair and planned to go back to the house. Unexpectedly, because he used too much strength, the armrest of the wheelchair broke directly. He was so angry that he punched it, and the next moment, the wheelchair fell down.

Xiaoxiao's heart tightened and she quickly reached out to help him. Before she touched his body, she was pushed away by the man. Xiaoxiao sat down on the ground and the man fell off the wheelchair.

Xiaoxiao didn't feel any pain from the fall, but she heard the man swearing angrily. Mo Chuan's leg was broken and his wheelchair was broken. He just wanted to curse and was very upset with this person who suddenly broke in. He wanted to strangle her to death.

Seeing that he had such a bad temper, Xiaoxiao really didn't want to care about him, but looking at his weak legs, she couldn't help but think of Brother Pei. He also had a broken leg. Xiaoxiao had taken care of him, so she naturally knew how inconvenient it was to have a broken leg, not to mention that he was blind.

Xiaoxiao stood up silently and reached out to help him again. Mo Chuan hadn't been in such close contact with others in nearly half a year. His body suddenly stiffened and he gritted his teeth and said, "I told you to get out. Don't you understand what I'm saying?"
