Chapter 142 Are We Still Good Sisters?
"Miss." Lian Xin looked at the handkerchief. She excitedly stepped forward, grabbed Xiao Jiuyue's hand, and asked excitedly, "Miss, last night, you and the Third Prince, you..."
Lian Xin's thoughts were in turmoil, and her eyes were filled with complexity and worry when she looked at Xiao Jiuyue.
"What are you thinking about?" Xiao Jiuyue raised his hand and tapped her forehead with a chestnut, saying, "What are you thinking about? Look at your lady's clothes, aren't they in good condition?"
Lianxin covered her forehead which was hit, turned back and checked her clothes carefully.
Xiao Jiuyue: "..."
"Okay, I was with the Third Prince yesterday. However, he was injured, and since he had helped us before, I took care of him." Xiao Jiuyue knew that if she didn't explain clearly, the girl would probably start to worry and overthink things. She said, "Your daughter hasn't planned to get married yet! Besides, the Third Prince is a prince, I can't marry him."
"In my heart, Miss is worthy." Lianxin said seriously.
Xiao Jiuyue looked at her for a long moment before saying, "Alright, hide the handkerchief and wash your hands. You'll have to return it later."
"Don't worry, miss. I will definitely wash it secretly and will not damage your reputation." Lianxin said solemnly, as if she was doing something more important than her life.
Xiao Jiuyue looked at her departing back, and she almost misunderstood whether she had told Lianxin something life-threatening. She quickly took a shower and just changed her clothes when she heard Mother Jiang send someone to deliver the news that Old Madam Xiao had woken up.
Xiao Jiuyue walked quickly into the main courtyard and saw Old Madam Xiao who had woken up. She held her hand and said, "Grandma, you're finally awake. You scared me to death!"
"I'm an old woman with a strong life. Even the God of Hell wouldn't take my granddaughter away until she sees her get married." Seeing that she was safe and sound, Old Madam Xiao breathed a sigh of relief. She said, "When you go out in the future, be sure to bring more people with you."
"Grandma, you... still let me go out?" Xiao Jiuyue raised her head in shock and looked at the wrinkled face of Old Madam Xiao. She was ready to be scolded, but who knew that her grandmother would only let her take more people out?
"Silly girl." Old Madam Xiao looked at her in disbelief. She grabbed her hand and saw some small scratches on it. She patted it gently and said, "You can't stay at home all your life. If that's the case, why do I have to tie you up?"
"After you get married, I'm afraid it won't be as convenient as your parents' home when you want to go out." Old Madam Xiao said with emotion. She looked at Xiao Jiuyue and said, "No matter what happens, you are a girl of the Xiao family and the granddaughter that your grandmother is most proud of."
"Grandma, I must work hard to make you proud of me." Xiao Jiuyue's eyes twinkled as she spoke, "I also have to thank Grandma and Mother for thinking of my reputation and not spreading the news of my disappearance. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to explain myself now."
In ancient times, reputation was very important. Girls from wealthy families would even consider that little bit of reputation more important than their lives.
"It was actually the Third Prince who saved me yesterday." Xiao Jiuyue skipped over the danger of falling off the cliff and said, "Grandmother, the Third Prince was injured. I took the initiative to invite him to our home to recuperate."
"The Third Prince doesn't have any relatives in Hongdu, so we should ask him to come and recuperate." Old Madam Xiao nodded in agreement, her eyes falling on Xiao Jiuyue's face. She asked, "Yu'er, is the Third Prince's injury serious?"
"It should be quite serious, right? At least the foot will not be able to walk for a while." Xiao Jiuyue thought about the bloody wound on Jun Lie's shoulder in the mountains, with white bones visible. He even said that Jun Lie's foot might not be able to walk without a few months of care.
Lianxin had sprained her leg before and had to recuperate for a long time.
"Well, I'll have Madam Jiang take care of the front yard." Old Madam Xiao saw that her hair was still wet and said, "Okay, it's getting late, you should go back to your room and get some rest."
"Grandma, then you can sleep peacefully." When Xiao Jiuyue returned to his yard, he saw the beautiful mother waiting in the house with food.
"Yuer, are you hungry? Mother made something delicious for you." Su said, carrying a few dishes. "Chicken noodle soup. Mother had someone skim off the oil on top of the chicken soup, so it won't be greasy at all."
The bright yellow chicken noodle soup looked like it had been simmered for hours. A few chopped green onions were sprinkled on top. She took a sip and found it just the right amount of saltiness. Feeling Su's eyes fixed on her, Xiao Jiuyue smiled and said, "Mom, the chicken noodle soup is delicious. You didn't sleep all night last night, so go to bed early."
"Yuer." Su looked at her, hesitant to speak. She didn't want to go to sleep and had a lot to say.
Xiao Jiuyue looked at the dark circles under Su's eyelids and yawned, "Mom, I was on the mountain yesterday. It was windy and rainy. I was so scared that I couldn't sleep well. I want to go to bed after I finish eating."
"Okay, then go to bed early after eating." After hearing this, Su accompanied Xiao Jiuyue to finish the noodles, suppressed the worry in her heart, and left.
Xiao Jiuyue sent Lianxin back as well: "Luokui is also injured, you should go back to bed early too."
"Miss, if you have any problem, just call me." Lianxin made the bed and went back to the room. As soon as she entered the room, she saw Luokui holding her leg. Looking at her leg in plaster, Lianxin smiled instantly.
"Lianxin, are you still our good sisters? I was injured, and you actually smiled!!" Luokui was in great pain. Seeing Lianxin smile, she looked at her with a sad face, and her eyes seemed to be asking: Are we still good sisters?
"Who said we're not good sisters anymore? Good sisters can't laugh?" Lianxin walked forward and helped Luokui spread the pillows. She said, "When I injured my leg before, I don't know who laughed like a monkey."
“…” Luo Kui touched his nose guiltily.
Lianxin continued, "Who else is showing off every day, serving the young lady every day, and following the young lady to the Moon-Watching Pavilion to play the piano every day?" The Moon-Watching Pavilion is the abandoned pavilion in the back mountain, but Xiao Jiuyue gave it a good name, called the Moon-Watching Pavilion.
"..." Luo Kui smiled awkwardly. What a fate. The more she boasted before, the more guilty she felt now. It wasn't long before she became the one who got hurt.
"Lianxin, I, I just want you to know what the young lady does every day, so that you won't be bored." Luokui cleared her throat and tried to find an excuse for herself.
"Hmph." Lian Xin said with an expression that said, "Okay, do you want to bring in the toilet? Do you want some water? Are you hungry?"
"Lianxin, you are the best." When Luokui heard that there was food, she looked at Lianxin with eyes that were more affectionate than her own mother!
…
"Guo Yang, go check tomorrow to find out who attacked Miss Xiao."
In the clinic, Jun Lie had just treated the wounds on his leg and back when he began to give instructions.
