26 Incense!
Then, without waiting for Xiao Tingyun's reply, he strode away, the boots on his feet making a clattering sound, and his back looked hurried and desolate.
Xiao Tingyun was in deep thought, puzzled.
He...what happened to him?
The waning moon in the dusk, the wind blowing...
Is there anything unique about this sentence? But she had never heard of it before, or did he recognize the wrong person for her?
My mind was a bit confused, and the development of this book was becoming more and more strange.
I didn't expect it to turn out like this, I just hope it didn't collapse too much.
If there are too many doubts and it’s hard to understand, just let it go!
Xiao Tingyun raised his eyebrows, "Cai Xing, do you understand?"
Cai Xing shook her head, "I heard the sound of the moon and the wind, but I didn't understand anything else."
"Pfft..." Xiao Tingyun couldn't help but cover his mouth and laugh, "That's true, but he doesn't seem to mean that..."
Cai Xing frowned, "Who cares what he means? It's incomprehensible. I just want to protect the young lady!"
Xiao Tingyun nodded, then sat quietly and waited for Lanzhi to come back. After resting, he went back to the main hall to prepare for the banquet.
While we were waiting, a steward from the Taifu Mansion led the servants in an orderly manner, carrying wine, drinks and snacks to a place. At a glance, there were more than ten people.
Xiao Tingyun stood up and waited for them to pass by the roadside. Those people passed by carefully and turned a turning point.
Seeing that most people had arrived, Xiao Tingyun was about to sit down. Unexpectedly, the last servant suddenly sprained his knees while turning.
"Bang!" Squeak——
The contents of the tray all fell onto her.
"hiss……"
"Miss..." Cai Xing was shocked. She grabbed Xiao Tingyun's arm and brought her to her front, but it was still a little too late.
The sleeves of Xiao Tingyunyan's purple clothes were wet at this moment.
When the man fell over just now, she subconsciously used her hand to block him. Unexpectedly, Cai Xing's sleeve was pulled when she made a move, and the wine spilled on him.
"Please spare my life, sir, please spare my life!" The people stopped one after another, and the servant at the end knelt down tremblingly and begged for mercy.
Xiao Tingyun's face turned pale. He had just sprained his ankle and was in excruciating pain. He hurriedly held onto Caixing.
Cai Xing knew something was wrong when she saw it, "Miss, are you okay?"
"Not bad." Xiao Tingyun bit his lip, veins on the back of his hand bulged from exerting force, and said softly.
"How do you walk?! You are so careless!" Cai Xing shouted angrily at the kneeling servant, scaring him so much that he trembled.
The steward was shocked, he walked forward and slapped the boy, angrily saying, "Useless idiot, you can't even hold a plate!"
"Hey——" Xiao Tingyun exclaimed, "Don't do it!"
The steward smiled apologetically, "This idiot is just tight-boned, he needs to be loosened up."
"I was tripped by a stone and couldn't stand steadily. I'm so sorry, sir. Please forgive me!" The servant banged his head on the ground, crying and wiping his tears, afraid that he would lose his life here.
He then pointed to an egg-sized stone nearby to prove his innocence.
Caixing doesn’t care about that!
"Manager, how did you teach me? If he fell, he shouldn't have poured the water towards the guests. If he had brought a basin of boiling water, wouldn't he have harmed people?" Cai Xing was still furious. He came out for no reason and got his foot injured, right in front of her!
"Yes, yes, yes... I didn't teach my young son well. I will discipline him strictly when I return!" said the steward, nodding and bowing.
"Forget it." Xiao Tingyun interrupted the conversation and asked the boy, "Are you okay? I saw you fell pretty hard just now. Are you hurt anywhere?"
Perhaps it was because Xiao Tingyun spoke too gently that the servant started to cry. "I'm fine. It's my blessing that nothing happened to you, my noble lady."
"I'm fine. Remember to apply some medicine when you go back. If you don't have any, I'll ask my maid to get some for you. And don't make things difficult for the manager." Xiao Tingyun reminded him with a smile on his face, looking extremely relaxed.
"Thank you very much, sir! Thank you very much, sir! I'm fine." The servant knelt down to express his gratitude.
"You guys go ahead and find us a guest room." Xiao Tingyun said to the manager.
The steward waved his hand and asked the servants to go first, then called a maid and asked her to take them to the guest room.
As soon as Xiao Tingyun moved his feet, he realized that his ankle was swollen and twitching.
"Miss, let me hold you!" Cai Xing said, and picked her up by the waist.
Xiao Tingyun was startled and quickly put his arms around Caixing's neck, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "You are a girl."
Cai Xing said indifferently, "It is precisely because I am a girl that I can do this. Otherwise, the master and his men would beat me to death today! Besides, you are not even as heavy as the sandbag I tied to you!"
This sentence was ridiculous. Xiao Tingyun knew that she had learned martial arts since she was a child, but after all, women in this era have to bear more.
Cai Xing steadily carried the person into the guest room the maid pointed to.
"Sister, please go and call a doctor, and then go to where we were just now and ask our young lady's maid to come here. Her name is Lanzhi." Caixing handed the silver in her sleeves to the little maid and asked her for help.
She had to look after the young lady, so she had to trouble someone else to remind her.
The little girl took it happily, and responded with a pretty face, "Don't worry, sister. I know." After that, she helped close the door and walked out.
"Miss, please be patient. I will help you take off your shoes first to see if any bones are injured." Cai Xing knelt down and carefully took off her shoes.
Xiao Tingyun had a thin layer of sweat on his forehead and bit his lip in pain.
Suddenly, there was a scent of sandalwood floating in the room. Xiao Tingyun didn't pay much attention to it at first, until the fragrance gradually spread, Xiao Tingyun frowned impatiently.
She usually didn't like incense, so she just used a handkerchief to block it.
Cai Xing was concentrating on checking her feet, when Xiao Tingyun's face suddenly changed and he urged, "Quick! Leave this room, there is a scent!"
Cai Xing looked up and saw that her young lady had a serious expression on her face. She hurriedly put the socks on her without asking any more questions. She didn't even bother to put on her shoes. She just picked her up by the waist.
Cai Xing pushed the door but found that it wouldn't open no matter what. She got angry and planned to kick the door open.
Xiao Tingyun stopped him and said, "Get out of the window!"
Upon hearing this, Cai Xing quickly walked to the window, pushed it hard, and saw an open space outside.
He first carefully carried Xiao Tingyun to sit on the windowsill, then pushed himself up with both hands and jumped down.
Quickly carry the person to a place with fewer people.
The person in the dark didn't see anyone coming out, so he quietly went somewhere.
Not long after, a violent scream broke the illusion of the banquet.
"What happened? Such a big noise?"
"Yeah, it's really scary. I hope nothing goes wrong at this party, or it will ruin this birthday party."
Zhang Hanyue was the first to hear the noise. She was appreciating paintings with the young ladies when she was interrupted by the noise. She was feeling unhappy, so she quickly sent someone to check what had happened.
Not long after, a servant came to respond. Seeing that there were people all around, the servant hesitated and did not dare to look up, "Miss, it's the guest room..."
