Upon hearing this, Xie Jingxuan smiled broadly and said, "Then I will trouble you, Mother." After saying this, he turned to the two beauties and said, "Come and greet the old lady."
"This servant, Qinxiang, greets the old lady."
"This servant, Xuexiu, greets the old lady."
The two beauties came over as instructed and bowed gracefully to Rong Qingqing.
Rong Qingqing glanced at the two women and, seeing that they were quite attractive, wondered why Xie Jingrun didn't like them. He was actually willing to give them to Xie Jingxuan, what a waste!
"Get up," she said gently. If the two hadn't been bestowed upon them by Emperor Zhaojing, she would have really wanted to persuade them to leave Xie Jingxuan. But those bestowed by the emperor couldn't just leave whenever they wanted. Besides, most women these days could only live by depending on men. If they were to leave men, she probably wouldn't know how to survive. After thinking about it, she gave up the idea.
"Thank you, Madam." The two women stood up.
"Xiao Tao, arrange rooms for them. Let them stay here for now, and we'll make other arrangements when we get back," Rong Qingqing instructed.
"Yes," Xiao Tao replied, and was about to lead the two women to the side room when Xie Jingrun walked in from outside.
Upon seeing him, the two women turned pale with fright, trembling and standing behind Xiao Tao, too afraid to move.
Upon seeing this, Rong Qingqing thought to herself: What did Xie Jingrun do to them last night to scare them like this?
Xie Jingxuan saw him, snorted, and then turned and left the courtyard.
Xie Jingrun didn't even bother to glance at him. When he saw the two women behind Xiao Tao, he frowned slightly, a look of disgust flashing across his face.
"Lord, Lord Marquis." Although the two women were frightened, they still bowed to him.
"Get out!" Xie Jingrun said coldly.
The two girls followed Xiao Tao, trembling.
Once everyone was out of the courtyard, Xie Jingrun placed a porcelain bottle into Rong Qingqing's hand.
Rong Qingqing asked in surprise, "What is this?"
Xie Jingrun didn't speak, but instead took her hand and examined it. He saw that the back of her hand was still very red, but there were no blisters. He was slightly relieved. "Doctor Lin said that this ointment is very effective for burns. Apply it several times."
Upon hearing this, Rong Qingqing finally understood and said, "Oh."
Xie Jingrun looked at the top of her dark hair, thought for a moment, and felt it was necessary to explain, "Those two women, last night I sent them..."
“I know,” Rong Qingqing interrupted him, “but Lord Marquis, you are really generous.”
"How so?" Xie Jingrun raised an eyebrow.
"You actually gave those two beautiful girls to Second Master? You really didn't have the heart to do that?" Rong Qingqing asked with some curiosity.
Upon hearing this, Xie Jingrun narrowed his eyes slightly and suddenly took a step closer to her.
Rong Qingqing blinked and stepped back.
Little did she know, there was a wall behind her, and once she took a step back, she couldn't go any further.
Xie Jingrun leaned closer, supporting himself with one hand beside her while gripping her chin with the other. "Rong Qingqing, can't you understand what I'm saying?"
"Hmm?" Rong Qingqing asked, puzzled.
“I’ve said it before, if I don’t like them, I naturally won’t keep them.” Xie Jingrun stared into her eyes and said meaningfully.
Rong Qingqing felt a little uncomfortable under his gaze, and ran her fingers through the hair by her ear. "My lord, don't be discouraged. There are thousands of women in this world, and there will surely be one who catches your eye."
Xie Jingrun smiled and nodded in agreement, "You're right. But right now, there's one who's caught my eye. What do you think I should do with her?"
