The two exchanged two rounds of subtle combat in no time.
Xie Jingrun seemed oblivious, asking a few questions about her health with concern. Before long, he pulled Rong Qingqing up to say goodbye.
“Grandmother, it’s getting late. I’ll take Qingqing back first.”
Madam Hua nodded. "Alright, be careful on the road. Yinyin, see the Emperor and Empress off for me."
“Yes, Grandmother.” Hua Yin replied obediently, got up and followed the two of them out.
Looking at the two people walking hand in hand ahead, Hua Yin bit her lip.
The two people in front suddenly stopped. Rong Qingqing said, "Xie Jingrun, lower your head for a moment."
Xie Jingrun asked, "What's wrong?" He asked, but lowered his head as instructed.
"Your hair is messy here, let me fix it for you." Rong Qingqing said in a very natural voice, and then reached out to adjust his hair ornament.
Hua Yin stared at the scene before her in disbelief.
It was one thing before, but now that her cousin is the emperor, what right does Rong Qingqing have to call him by his name so casually? What she finds most unacceptable is her cousin's indulgence towards her.
It seems that he can indulge her in whatever she says or wants to do without limit.
Rong Qingqing caught a glimpse of Hua Yin's face turning deathly pale out of the corner of her eye, and the corner of her mouth curled up slightly.
Hopefully, this girl will back down when faced with difficulties.
"Alright, let's go." Rong Qingqing said, taking Xie Jingrun's arm.
Seeing the woman take his arm, Xie Jingrun was somewhat flattered. He raised an eyebrow and gave her a deep look, then said, "Mm."
Hua Yin silently followed behind the two men. Just as they were about to reach the steps, her eyes darkened, and she suddenly lunged forward, lunging straight at Xie Jingrun's back.
"Ah, cousin, save me..."
Before she could finish speaking, her collar suddenly tightened.
After a dizzying moment, she stood at the bottom of the steps.
Before she could react, Xie Jingrun withdrew his hand.
"Be careful when you walk. Your health isn't good to begin with, and if you fall again, your grandmother will worry. Alright, you don't need to see me off anymore. Go inside now." Xie Jingrun said calmly, taking Rong Qingqing's hand again and leading her outside.
Rong Qingqing glanced at the girl standing there, her face pale, and a faint smile appeared on her lips.
Doesn't she even know who Xie Jingrun is?
Is he the kind of person who cherishes and pities women?
Playing that trick behind his back was simply foolish and brought shame upon himself.
Xie Jingrun noticed that the woman beside him was in a good mood, with a smile that almost never left her face. He couldn't help but feel happy too.
Watching the two people walk out of the mansion gate, Hua Yin, who was standing still, finally came back to her senses.
His face was a mixture of red and blue, with a hint of embarrassment.
My cousin has already figured out her purpose.
He knew she had deliberately fallen...
She sobbed, then suddenly covered her face and ran back to her room.
Upon learning this, Madam Hua immediately followed.
"Silly child, why are you crying?"
Hua Yin lifted her tear-streaked face and threw herself into her arms.
Why is my cousin so heartless?
“That’s always been his kind of person,” said Madam Hua with a hint of helplessness. “Actually, Rong Qingqing is right. The only reason your cousin is willing to take care of our Hua family is because of your grandfather.”
"Then what do I need to do to become my cousin's woman?" Hua Yin suddenly felt a little lost.
"Do you really like your cousin that much?" Old Madam Hua asked, as if to confirm.
