"ah?"
Su Yue was stunned for a moment, took a while to react, and then hurried out.
As soon as Su Yue came out, Ding Dong led Jiang Xuejun in.
"Sister Wanruo, are you feeling better?" Jiang Xuejun rushed in anxiously, holding her hand, his face full of worry.
Wan Ruo said calmly, "I'm fine, nothing happened."
"It's all my fault. I really didn't expect you and Miss Zhao to have a conflict. Why did you start arguing in the pavilion out of the blue? You were pushing and shoving each other, and you both fell into the water. It's also my fault. I left the room open for a while and couldn't keep an eye on you."
Jiang Xuejun blamed himself for every word he said, but each word was directed at Wan Ruo. In just a few words, he completely distanced himself from this matter.
Wanruo fell into the water because of her own fault. She had a conflict and quarrel with someone, and finally pushed others into the water without caring about her dignity. What did she have to do with it?
Wanruo smiled and said, "Yes, Miss Jiang, you are blaming yourself too much. You were not there at the time. Miss Zhao and Miss Qiu inexplicably targeted me, blocked me, and pushed me. After all, it was them who did it, not you. How can I blame you?"
What Wanruo said was exactly what Jiang Xuejun wanted to say, but for some reason, it sounded a bit harsh to her ears.
Jiang Xuejun didn't bother to think too much, and just patted her hand earnestly, "You, you are still too angry. We women should be more gentle. Why did you get into a conflict with others for no reason? If you could have taken a step back at that time, you wouldn't have to cause such an unpleasant situation now, right?"
"Miss Jiang said yes." Wanruo smiled lightly.
But then he changed the subject and continued, "But when I fell into the water, a boy jumped out of the water and pulled me out..."
Jiang Xuejun's expression changed slightly, and he shouted, "What kind of dog slave is this? How dare you do such a thing? The scene was chaotic, and I wasn't there. I didn't know there were dog slaves who dared to be so presumptuous. I was clearly with a few women going into the water to rescue people, and I specifically told them not to let men go in. I didn't expect someone to be so audacious!"
Jiang Xuejun held her hand and said, "Don't worry, I will investigate this matter thoroughly and give you justice."
Wanruo curled the corners of her lips: "Miss Jiang is thoughtful."
Jiang Xuejun sighed, "Thank goodness you can swim, at least nothing serious happened. Otherwise, I really don't know how I would explain this to the Xie family."
"I'm an orphan. Who in the Xie family would care about my life or death?"
Jiang Xuejun probed: "You are from the Xie family. The old lady likes you. The eldest son even took you in as a child. I believe he values you too."
Wan Ruo's eyes flickered slightly: "That's the kindness of the great master."
As he was speaking, Ding Dong came in hurriedly, looking a little embarrassed and troubled.
"What's the matter?" Wanruo asked.
"This, this..." Ding Dong didn't know how to start, and looked at Jiang Xuejun awkwardly.
Wan Ruo frowned and said, "If you have something to say, just say it. Sister Jiang is not an outsider, why hide?"
Ding Dong still didn't dare to speak. He walked around Jiang Xuejun and went to Wanruo's side. He lowered his voice and whispered in her ear: "The eldest son is here."
Wanruo's pale face flashed with panic. Feeling a little guilty, she glanced at Jiang Xuejun and coughed twice: "Sister Jiang also came to see me today. I'm fine. Then I will..."
Jiang Xuejun looked at her guilty expression, vaguely guessing something in his heart. He crossed his legs and pinched her flesh, but still maintained a decent smile: "In that case, I won't stay for long. You can rest for the rest of your life."
Jiang Xuejun said this and stood up.
Wanruo smiled and said, "I'm not feeling well, so I won't see Miss Jiang off."
After Jiang Xuejun left, Ding Dong went to close the window out of habit.
Wan Ruo said, "It's so stuffy in the room, don't close the window."
Ding Dong was stunned for a moment, a little surprised. In the past, whether she went to the big garden or came to the big garden, the first thing the girl did was to close the doors and windows, for fear that others would see her.
Ding Dong did not question his son's decision and nodded: "Yes."
Then he left the window wide open and walked out.
Wanruo's window faced a cluster of flowering trees outside Qiu Shui Courtyard. It was spring now, and the flowers were in full bloom. Looking out the window, one could hardly see the road as it was completely blocked by the flowers and trees.
Only when you get close can you glimpse some scenes through the gaps between the flowers and trees.
Jiang Xuejun walked out of Qiu Shui Courtyard, but did not go far. Instead, he walked around the corner behind the flower bushes and waited for a while. Then he saw a tall figure striding into Qiu Shui Courtyard.
He was dressed in a navy blue robe and had his hair tied up with a jade crown. He was as white as the snow on the mountains, making people afraid to approach him.
But at this moment, he hurried to visit the woman.
Jiang Xuejun clenched the handkerchief tightly in her hand, and her expression became much uglier.
Even if I knew the truth earlier, I still couldn't control the pain after seeing it with my own eyes.
She thought he was always indifferent, distant from everyone, and out of reach, but it was the first time she saw him with a frown on his face and a look of worry.
"The master is here." Before Ding Dong could finish his words, Xie Xianyu had already rushed in like a gust of wind.
"What happened?"
Wanruo got off the bed and threw herself into his arms, her voice trembling with fear: "Brother Xianyu."
Jiang Xuejun stood behind the flower bushes, just able to see the scene inside the house through that small gap.
The slender and petite woman ran out of bed barefoot, threw herself into the man's arms, and acted coquettishly with a crying voice.
