The old lady recovered and coughed lightly: "Forget it, forget it, Brother Xian is still unconscious, you stay here and take care of him, don't worry about anything, wait until he wakes up."
The eldest master didn't ask about the affairs of the inner house. Seeing that Xie Xianyu was fine, he went ahead.
It was not convenient for the old lady to stay for long, so the eldest lady helped her leave, and the people from the second and third rooms naturally left as well.
Wanruo looked at the empty house and felt even more panicked.
The eldest lady helped the old lady out of Songhe Garden, then frowned and said, "I really didn't expect that the woman Xian'er hid would be Wanruo. I thought she was an innocent woman."
In the eyes of the eldest lady, even if she wanted to take a concubine, it would have to be a legitimate and good concubine. This kind of private affair without a matchmaker was still not something that could be made public.
The Third Madam immediately added fuel to the fire: "That girl has a foxy look on her face. She must have seduced Xian'er. I think we shouldn't have taken her in in the first place! It's better to kick a girl like her out as soon as possible!"
How could the Third Madam have imagined that Xu Wanruo would pass away like this? If the First Madam and the Old Madam discussed and gave that cheap girl Xu Wanruo a title, her life would be miserable from now on!
The Second Madam sneered, "Why are you so anxious about what happened in Xian'er's room? It's as if you've done something wrong and you want to kick him out."
The third lady's expression changed: "You!"
The eldest lady's face was gloomy. "After all, she saved Xiuzhu and can be considered a benefactor of the Xie family. Naturally, there is no reason to drive her out. Besides, Xian'er has always had his own ideas. It's not up to others to make decisions for him."
The old lady finally spoke, patting the eldest lady's hand. "Wan is a sensible child. I don't think she was the one who seduced him. You don't know your son well. Was he seduced by an ordinary woman?"
The eldest lady was speechless. She had sent several concubines to her son, some honest, some charming, and all kinds of girls, but he just didn't like any of them.
"You also know that Xian'er is a man of his own ideas. He won't let anyone manipulate him. Although Wan'er's background is a bit poor, she is still from a good family and knows her well. Since Xian'er likes her, there's nothing wrong with taking her as a concubine. You can handle this matter as you wish."
The eldest lady nodded and said, "Yes."
-
Wanruo was forced to stay by his bed, her mind in a mess, and the situation she feared most finally happened.
Her affair with Xie Xianyu was exposed, and now everyone in the Xie family knew about it. What should she do?
Wanruo looked at Xie Xianyu irritably, but when she saw the bright red wound on his chest, the anger that had just risen in her heart dissipated again.
He was injured in order to save her.
She felt very uncomfortable. She had never thought that he would do such a stupid thing as blocking the sword to save her. At least for Xie Xianyu, it was too stupid.
She couldn't bear such a heavy favor because she had no way to repay him.
She pursed her lips, lowered her eyes, and wiped his face with a wet towel. Cuizhu brought in the medicine and she fed him the medicine again.
After another half an hour, I reached out and touched his forehead. It seemed that the fever had subsided a little. I changed a cool towel for him. My anxious heart finally relaxed. My eyelids felt heavy as if they were filled with lead, and soon he fell into a deep sleep on the edge of the bed.
When it was getting dark, Xie Xianyu finally woke up.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw the obedient Wanruo lying on the bed. He raised his hand and gently stroked her fair cheek with his fingertips, feeling more at ease than ever before.
Fortunately, she was safe and sound. Fortunately, she stayed by his side obediently, just like before.
Cuizhu pushed the door open and came in. Seeing Xie Xianyu awake, she hurried over to greet him, "Young Master, you're awake."
"Don't wake her."
Cuizhu quickly lowered her voice: "Yes."
Cuizhu was about to leave, but after a moment's thought, she whispered, "When the young master was brought here today, the old lady and the others came to see him."
She paused and added, "At that time, the young master held my cousin's hand tightly, so..."
So the relationship that was once kept secret is now made public.
Xie Xianyu said calmly, "I see. Have the Imperial Guards been here yet?"
"I have been here. They say the bandits left someone alive. The results of the interrogation will be revealed within the day and sent to you tomorrow."
"Back off."
Cuizhu then quietly retreated.
