Xiao Yao

Xiao Yao’s self-evaluation: obedient, sensible, and a proper lady.

However, in the eyes of others, she was mischievous, pretended to be well-behaved, and lazed around to get through the days....

Chapter 240 Sprain

Xie Qingxuan hadn't expected this to be related to Yun Ruonan. If things were really as she said, wouldn't she be trying to steal a chicken but end up losing a handful of rice? Offending her future sister-in-law was not something she wanted to do.

"Did you hear that clearly? You can leave now!" Yun Yichen suppressed his anger and ordered them to leave.

"Someone take Master Xie to change his clothes, then find a doctor to check him out. After lunch, we'll send the two distinguished guests back to Beijing." Yin Qianhua glared at her son. "You've taken advantage of me, and you're still not happy. If we offend Xuancheng because of Ping'an, do you think the Xiao family will have an easy life in the future?" "Silly son, you get so carried away when you encounter Ping'an. Don't you even think about the consequences?"

After the Xie siblings were helped down, Xiao Yao bowed deeply to the people in Prince Jing's Mansion, then slowly said, "Thank you, Princess, the Crown Prince, and the Princess for your help today. Xiao Yao is deeply grateful. If the Emperor investigates this matter, I will take full responsibility and will never embarrass Prince Jing's Mansion. Xiao Yao will take her leave first. Ruyi and Xiaohui will stay and help with the barbecue!"

Xiao Yao walked past the crowd, heading out of the villa. What girl wouldn't cherish her reputation? Being accused of flirting, powerless to resist, Xiao Yao felt terrible. She didn't want to cry, didn't want others to see her weak side, but the tears fell silently, dripping onto the back of her hand and hitting her heart.

As soon as she got into the carriage, she heard Xiaofu softly announce, "Master Mu and Young Master Mu are here."

"Ask them if there's anything wrong?" Xiao Yao asked in a calm tone with a strong nasal voice. Xiao Fu knew her young lady was crying as soon as she heard it.

"Junior sister, my son doesn't want to stay here anymore and wants to go back to Beijing. Can he take your car? We can have a companion along the way, what do you think?" Mu Fengwu looked at Xiaofu and asked how Xiao Yao was doing. Xiaofu had tears in her eyes and shook her head listlessly.

Oh! I guess the old man is going to get angry again! Mu Fengwu put his son in the carriage, whispered to him what to say when he saw Xiao Yao later, and pushed him into the carriage. He didn't ride the horse himself, but sat on the shaft of Xiao Yao's carriage.

This was a plan that they had discussed with a large group of people. Xuancheng could not be offended for the time being. The Yun brothers had to stay and deal with them, and find a way to divert the attention of the Xie brothers and sisters so that they would not keep staring at the Xiao family. It would definitely not be a good thing if they kept targeting the Xiao family.

Several people can testify for Xiao Yao in front of the emperor that she did not provoke Xie Zhuoliang. With Prince Jing speaking on her behalf in the palace, she believes the storm will soon pass.

By now, Yun Yifan and Mu Fengwu had figured out a little bit: Yun Yichen had ill intentions towards his junior sister, and was definitely up to something. Looking at Yun Can, who was crying out in injustice and even wanted to go to the Xiao family to express his loyalty, he looked even more like a clown.

"You must send her home safely and tell her that I...we are in charge of everything. Tell her not to worry and don't tell the old man about this. If the old man makes a fuss, the matter will be even more difficult to resolve." Yun Yichen, who had regained his sanity, treated Mu Fengwu as a child and taught him how to do the next things one by one.

"If you keep on wasting time, Junior Sister will leave." What should he do if he wanted to laugh? Mu Fengwu felt that Yun Yichen, trapped in this moment, looked silly and dull, nothing like his usual calm and decisive self.

"Go quickly." Yun Yichen pushed Mu Fengwu hard, wishing he could push him to Xiao Yao's side in one go. He also sent Zhao Hai to escort them.

Yun Yifan looked at his cousin who was busy with Xiao Yao's affairs, and his mouth was full of bitterness. His feelings were about to end before they even had a chance to start. I hope his cousin will wait for the clouds to clear and the moon to shine! It can be seen that he really cares about his junior sister. It's good this way. He can see his junior sister often in the future. With the affection she and Ruonan grew up together and the love of her aunt, her life should be good. Let's wish them all the best! I hope my cousin will get his beautiful girl soon!

Influenced by this incident, some people in the villa, like Xiao Yuan, avoided the Xie siblings. Some, like Yun Yichen, were absent-minded and had to rely on Yun Yifan to handle most things. Food had lost its original meaning. Only Kong Xuzhe and Yun Can seemed to have a good appetite.

Mu Fengwu and the others didn't communicate much. At the beginning, they could still hear the little fat boy's childish mumbling, but soon there was no sound in the carriage.

"Is my son asleep?"

"Um."

"Just put him on the mat, don't hold him." If Yun Yichen knew that he asked his junior sister to help carry the child all the way, he would eat him up!

"I have to be able to carry him too! You made fun of my sister when she was little, and now your son is even fatter. Is this karma?" Xiao Yao felt sad for a moment, then forced herself to stop thinking about what had just happened. She was ready to bear the consequences alone. Death was the worst possible outcome, and after all, she'd experienced it once before, so she didn't find it scary. She just felt that if she did that, she'd be letting her grandfather, her parents, and her family down.

Hearing that Xiao Yao had calmed down, Mu Fengwu began to persuade her, "Don't worry about the Xie family's affairs. We can all testify for you. And Achen asked me to tell you that he will take care of everything. You don't have to be afraid at all. Just comfort the old man after you go home and don't let him get excited and do anything. There are a few brothers outside. If Prince Kong can't help, we can also ask Uncle Jing for help. Just pretend that nothing happened.

This kind of thing would make anyone angry, but Xie's family is special, so I can only put you in this difficult position for now. Once we have the chance, we, especially Achen, will definitely help you avenge this. "I'm really nice. I've mentioned that kid Achen several times. I think the little sister will be grateful to him! And then I can marry her, that would be perfect. The little sister that so many people care about will finally get the favor of Achen. No, one day I must make him honestly explain how he fell in love with the little sister.

When Prince Jing goes to the Xiao family to propose marriage, he must follow and see how the old man and Yun Yichen, the "old enemies", resolve this matter. He is already a little impatient. What should he do? He really wants to see the scene of Yun Yichen being punished as soon as possible. He can't miss it, absolutely can't miss it! Mu Fengwu hopes that the days will pass quickly so that he can witness that exciting scene sooner.

Arriving at the Xiao family's door, Xiao Yao, who had been stiff all the way, began to think about how to explain to her family why she came back early.

"Ouch!" Probably because she had been sitting in the carriage for too long and there was a fat boy sleeping there and she couldn't stretch her legs freely, Xiao Yao twisted her foot as soon as she got out of the carriage. Now she had an excuse ready.

"Little Junior Sister, are you okay? I'll carry you in." Mu Fengwu couldn't take care of his son for the time being. He was injured while being escorted by him. How could he explain this to his friends? Was this considered excessive joy leading to sorrow?

"Thank you, Master Mu, for escorting me all the way. Otherwise, I wouldn't know what to do if I twisted my ankle."

"Ugh!" Could it be that Junior Sister did this on purpose just to find an excuse to explain to her family? She really has the heart to do this.

"I came back early because I twisted my ankle in the villa!" Xiao Yao winked at Mu Fengwu. Can't this guy just cooperate? Really, the reason is fake, but my foot really hurts!

"Oh! Yes, yes, Junior Sister twisted her foot when she was in the villa... My son was crying too, so... we came back together." Mu Fengwu stuttered and finally continued Xiao Yao's words.

"Master Mu, please go back. Zihong is still asleep. Have the driver take you directly back. Xiaofu, please stay at the door and watch over the Second Miss. If she returns, tell her that my feet don't hurt as much as they did at the beginning and tell her not to worry. Please also ask Master Mu to send someone to tell the princess and her family that I have arrived home safely."

Xiao Yao really didn't want to worry her family. Even though the lie had many loopholes, all she could do now was to conceal it for the time being. Xiao Yao didn't know how her grandfather would react. Not only was he already very old, but he had also been busy with her marriage until now. How could she bear to add fuel to the fire?

"Miss, I'll help you in and then go back to the door to wait for Miss Two, okay?" Xiaofu really felt sorry for her own young lady. What a good person! Why did she have to be bullied by others? Those bad guys would definitely not have a good end.

"Just ask the doorman to call a sedan chair for me. Mr. Mu, go to the car and look after Zihong! Don't worry, I'm fine." Xiao Yao leaned on Xiao Fu and waited for the sedan chair.

"Sister, are you back? Aqi and I were just planning to ride horses to pick you up! Hey! What's wrong with you? You don't look well. Are you feeling unwell? Let your fifth brother take a look." Xiao Jun threw away the whip and ran to Xiao Yao. If he hadn't been concerned about the difference between men and women, he would have probably checked it himself.

"I just twisted my foot accidentally. It's okay. Zihong from Master Mu's family happened to miss his mother, so we came back together. I'm really fine." Xiao Yao glanced at Mu Fengwu and Xiao Fu. She should say this from now on. Everyone should speak with one voice.

The two of them nodded implicitly to show that they understood.

"How can you take care of my sister? You can't even take care of the master. What's the use of you?" Xiao Jun was reluctant to get angry at his sister, so he turned around and started to teach Xiao Fu a lesson.

"It's all my fault. I'm sorry." Xiaofu apologized quickly.

"Why are you scolding her? I twisted it accidentally, how can you blame Xiaofu! Go and help me see if the sedan has arrived. My ankle feels swollen and painful, maybe it's swollen." Seeing Xiao Jun's anxious and worried expression, Xiao Yao felt a warm current in her heart. Only the closest relatives would feel so sorry for her!

"Why are you waiting for a sedan chair? Fifth Brother will carry you home to find a doctor. Ah Qi... forget it, Qingshan, go home quickly and tell the doctor to wait at Yaoyuan Tower. Then tell Nanny Ruan, come, lie on my back, Fifth Brother will carry you."

"No need, the sedan will be here soon, I'll just wait and take the sedan." There are people coming and going at the gate, and it wouldn't look good to do this even if Xiao Jun and I are siblings, so let it go!

"The sedan chair is bumpy, but Fifth Brother has some experience in martial arts, so he will be able to walk steadily. Don't worry!" Xiao Jun thought that his sister was afraid that he would not be as safe as the sedan chair, so she refused to choose it, so he repeatedly patted his chest to assure that his sedan chair would be better than the soft one.

"It's so loud, are you arguing?" Old Marquis Xiao and Xiao Jingkang walked over from the other side of the street.

Mu Fengwu: Now it’s going to be fun.

Xiao Yao: Why don't you just pretend to be unconscious? Let them do whatever they want, I just want to avoid seeing anything.
