"Young Master!" Qing'an exclaimed, wanting to go forward to help, but he didn't dare to move.
Xie Xianyu wiped the blood from the corner of his lips with the back of his hand, then sat down dejectedly on the edge of the bed, his face pale, and he fell into a dead silence.
The other servants looked at each other, not knowing what to do, and turned to look at Qing'an.
Qing'an thought for a while before shaking his head at them and quietly retreating. The other servants also followed him out.
After a while, the eldest lady came.
"Madam." The servants immediately bowed.
The eldest lady said coldly, "Where is the eldest son?"
Qing'an whispered, "Young Master, please stay inside. It's probably inconvenient for you to see the Madam right now."
The eldest lady frowned slightly and walked into the yard. The small yard had been burned bare long ago, and the door was burned away. Standing in the yard, she could see the burnt bedroom from beginning to end.
She saw Xie Xianyu sitting beside the burnt bed, looking more dilapidated than she had ever seen him.
The eldest lady's eyes narrowed slightly, she pursed her lips, and finally turned around and walked out.
"You guys stay here and guard it."
"yes."
The eldest lady left Qiushui Courtyard. Zhu Qing couldn't help but sigh, "The eldest master doesn't look well. Madam, won't you go and try to persuade him?"
"When has he ever listened to advice? Well, let him take it easy. He's still a naive man, obsessed with unnecessary things."
"Yes, she's just a woman. Why would she be so cruel? I've watched the young master grow up, and I've never seen him like this..."
Not only that, but even the eldest lady hasn't seen it.
Xie Xianyu has always possessed a calmness that is rare among ordinary children. He can remain calm even when the sky is falling. A woman, at most a small thing, is not enough to make him so depressed.
Zhu Qing sighed: "If I had known this would happen, I would have kept her here..."
The eldest lady scolded her, "How foolish! She's done with him, and he'll be over it in a few days. Staying with him will only cause endless trouble. Xian'er is so obsessed with her, breaking so many rules. Who knows how much trouble he'll cause in the future."
Zhu Qing said shyly: "Madam, I will teach you."
The eldest lady took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down: "It will be fine after a while. She is just a woman. Is it possible that the Xie family can produce a romantic person?"
The eldest lady's tone was sarcastic, but it was impossible to refute.

Xie Xianyu sat in Qiu Shui Courtyard all night long, his mind empty and unable to think. He was taking a long time to recover and still couldn't accept that she was dead like this.
But she was dead, her body lying on the bed, completely unrecognizable.
He had planned and calculated everything in his life, and nothing had ever been beyond his control. This was the first time he was hit hard, like being struck by lightning, and he couldn't pull himself away.
The next morning, Qing'an cautiously entered again and said, "Sir, the coffin is ready. How about we bury our cousin first, set up a mourning hall, and receive some incense so that she can rest in peace."
Xie Xianyu was still sitting stiffly beside the bed, but his face had become even paler, and his usually clear eyes were lifeless and dull, as if he were the corpse.
The room fell into dead silence. Qing'an hadn't received an answer for a long time and sweat began to form on his back. He had followed his master since he was a child and had never seen such a scene. He had no idea what to do.
But continuing like this isn't an option. I can't spend my whole life guarding a corpse, right? That would be crazy!
The silence was so oppressive that Qing'an felt like he was suffocating. Finally, Xie Xianyu spoke.
"Let's bury her." His voice was calm, calm and hopeless.
But no matter how desperate I am, there is nothing I can do. I must let her rest in peace.
