Xie Jingrun was in a state of confusion. By the time he returned to the Marquis's residence, it was already completely dark.
He went to Qinfangyuan as if possessed.
They still climbed in through the window.
He hadn't expected that the moment he stepped inside, he would see the girl's graceful figure reflected on the screen.
She appeared to be wiping her body.
Presumably having recovered from the poisoning, she was even humming a tune contentedly.
Xie Jingrun's handsome face flushed. Just as he was about to back out, the girl raised her snow-white arm and reached for the small garment on the screen.
His eyes darkened, and he quickly looked away, deciding to leave first.
But then, the moon-white undergarment fell to the ground outside.
The girl exclaimed in surprise and quickly went around the screen to pick it up.
However, as soon as she bent down, Rong Qingqing froze, and the handkerchief she was holding in front of her tightened its grip.
Xie Jingrun: "..."
In the end, he said nothing and silently left.
He had barely stood up when the window slammed shut with a bang, followed by the sound of a bolt being lowered from inside.
He pursed his lips, his mind flashing back to the girl's snow-white, creamy skin, when suddenly he felt a heat in his nose, as if some crimson liquid was rolling out.
He raised his hand to touch it, and his handsome face darkened.
Rong Qingqing leaned against the window and breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the footsteps outside fade away.
That scoundrel Xie Jingrun is getting more and more casual.
Every time...
Because of her injury, she hadn't bathed for several days. Today, she finally recovered from the poisoning and felt much better, so she asked Xiao Tao to bring in hot water to wipe her down. But she didn't expect that Xie Jingrun would see her doing this.
She felt deeply that she had been taken advantage of, not only by Xie Jingrun but also by him seeing her naked.
Thinking of this, she stared at the window for a long time and decided to have Xiao Tao find someone to seal the window tomorrow, to see how Xie Jingrun would climb through it.
The next day.
Although Rong Qingqing's poison had been neutralized, the wound on her back had not fully healed, so she rested in bed for another day.
By the third day, her wound had completely healed.
She had been cooped up in the house for several days and was feeling restless, so she went out and sat in the yard to bask in the sun.
At this moment, Xingchun returned from outside with a strange expression on her face.
Seeing Rong Qingqing sitting in the courtyard, she hurried over to greet her, and asked with a rare joking tone, "Madam, guess what strange thing I saw when I got to the front?"
Rong Qingqing tapped the table with her finger and said with a smile, "Did you see some handsome young man?"
Xingchun said somewhat sullenly, "Although the young master of the Xue family is quite good-looking, his leg... is lame."
Rong Qingqing asked suspiciously, "What young master of the Xue family?"
Xiao Tao looked at Xing Chun curiously, "Yeah, what are you talking about?"
"I only heard it mentioned by Steward Tian. The Xue family, along with their young master, came today to discuss marriage with our third young lady," Xingchun explained.
Xiao Tao was somewhat surprised, "You mean the Third Miss is discussing marriage with someone today?"
“Yes.” Xingchun nodded. “However, the Third Miss didn’t seem very satisfied. On my way back, I saw her crying all the way back to Qiulu Garden.”
Upon hearing this, Rong Qingqing finally understood the whole situation.
It seems that the husband Xie Jingrun chose for Xie Jingyi was the son of the Xue family, but he had a limp, so Xie Jingyi was not satisfied. However, this matter was beyond her control, as Xie Jingrun had already agreed to the marriage.
"Is the young master of the Xue family lame?" Xiao Tao asked Xing Chun.
