Who on earth was it that said he was as elegant as the clear moon and graceful as orchids and jade trees?!
He stroked her face and said gently, "If you want to live with me, I will live with you. If you don't want to, I will just save my patience."
Wanruo's whole body stiffened, and her knuckles turned white as she clutched at his collar.
He wrapped her in his cloak, then picked her up horizontally, stood up and strode out of the study.
Outside the study in the courtyard, the servants were still standing guard outside in fear. Zhao Yuaner was still kneeling there, looking at Xie Xianyu fearfully.
Qing'an stepped forward cautiously: "Sir, what should we do with this Miss Zhao?"
Xie Xianyu paused and said coldly, "Let the Zhao family come and get them."
"Yes." Qing'an agreed immediately.
The glimmer of hope that still remained in Zhao Yuaner's eyes was instantly shattered. She wanted to plead a few more words, but was shocked by Xie Xianyu's fierce aura and dared not speak.
Xie Xianyu didn't even stop and went straight back to the dormitory with Wanruo in his arms.
Only after they left did Qing'an finally breathe a sigh of relief: "Thank God, there was no quarrel."
Zhao Yuaner then began to beg: "Please, can you ask the young lady to plead for me? I've already entered the Xie family, and now I'm being sent out. How can I get married? Let me meet the young lady, I..."
Qing An was frightened and immediately pointed at the two maids and said, "Keep an eye on her! Don't let her see the young mistress!"
It is not easy to live in peace now. If there is any trouble again, all the servants in Songhe Garden will have their lives shortened.
The two old women immediately covered her mouth and tied her up.
Qing'an hurried to Zhao's house and asked someone to take Zhao Yuaner back.
When Mrs. Zhao heard about this, she immediately rushed over in person.
In the main hall, Mrs. Zhao spoke earnestly.
"What did Yuan'er do wrong? If she did, you can beat her or scold her. But everyone knows that this girl was sent here to be your concubine, Master Xie. How can you send her away? Wouldn't this girl's reputation be ruined?"
Zhao Yuaner knelt on the ground with her mouth blocked. She could only cry and shake her head.
Xie Xianyu sat in the main seat, his expression indifferent: "Madam Zhao, what do you think this is? A place where you can stuff all kinds of messy things in?"
Mrs. Zhao's face froze, and she was so stunned that she couldn't speak for a moment.
She had watched him grow up, and had always thought he was gentle, dignified and polite. This was the first time she had received such a shock.
Madam Zhao pursed her lips with difficulty and said, "What are you talking about? Yuan'er is a girl from our scholarly family. Although she is a concubine's daughter, she has been raised by me since she was a child and taught by me personally..."
"Then it seems that Madam Zhao's upbringing is indeed not very good."
Mrs. Zhao's eyes widened, her face turning green with anger: "You!"
Xie Xianyu lost his patience: "Take her away immediately."
The Zhao family can easily send their daughter to him, so why would he have the time to care about her reputation?
Do you really think he is a good person?
How could Madam Zhao be willing to accept this? She had already been sent to the Xie family. Everyone in Beijing knew that the young lady from the Zhao family had entered the Xie family as a concubine. Now she was sent away in less than a day. Not only would Zhao Yuaner's reputation be ruined, but wouldn't this also be a slap in the face of the Zhao family?
Madam Zhao then looked at Wanruo, who was sitting next to Xie Xianyu, and said earnestly, "You brought her back with the approval of Young Madam. You can't just ignore her life or death, right? If she's kicked out like this, I'm afraid she really won't survive!"
But Wanruo's eyes were red and swollen, and she looked at Xie Xianyu's expression cautiously.
