Chapter 14 Means
Xun Chen was furious and threw the medicine bottle to the ground. The ground was immediately covered with fragments, just like the eight years he and Jiang Qingning had spent together.
Zi Su was so frightened that her whole body trembled, but she still held her neck stiff and said stubbornly, "Where is the master from?! I have never eaten a single meal at the Anping Marquis's house. Now I am the young lady's servant, so why shouldn't I stand up for her? Does the Anping Marquis want to punish someone else's servant?!"
"Get out!" Xun Chen kicked the chair over.
Zi Su took a few steps back, eyes full of disappointment as she said, "No wonder the young lady was disappointed and divorced you. What kind of life has she been leading for the past eight years!"
Bah! Domestic violence man!
Zi Su didn't wait for him to speak and turned around and ran out.
"This is outrageous! Jiang Qingning is unfaithful and unfilial. He doesn't know how to teach his children, and even a servant can be so rude to his master!" Xun Chen was furious.
Bai Qingyi was carrying soup when she bumped into Zi Su who was running away. She was so scared that she stepped back repeatedly and asked in panic, "What happened?"
"Miss Zisu was scolded by her cousin, cousin. She is young and petty, and she is also Miss Jiang's maidservant. Cousin, please give her some face."
Bai Qingyi's eyes turned, and the malice in them was concealed. She strode into the study and went forward to comfort Xun Chen.
Xun Chen turned his gaze to her.
Bai Qingyi had an innocent look on her face and a gentle smile.
Xun Chen pondered, thinking that his cousin would not be the kind of person who would do such a foolish thing.
"Cousin, I sent you to deliver medicine to Xun Jiang today. Why did you deliver a bottle of medicine that had been emptied and leave it outside Xun Jiang's door without telling anyone?"
Xun Chen asked in a deep voice, suppressing his anger.
Bai Qingyi lowered her head and glanced at the porcelain pieces on the ground. She had an idea in her mind. She knelt down weakly, and when she looked up, her innocence was perfectly revealed in her eyes.
"Cousin, don't you know what kind of person Qingyi is? Maybe the servant took the medicine bottle Qingyi used by mistake and blamed me for not checking it myself while I was making soup for you in the kitchen. It's really Qingyi's fault."
"As for why the servants didn't pass on the message, it must be because Miss Jiang punished the servants during the day to establish her authority, which made the servants in the mansion afraid. That's why they only dared to leave the message outside the door and not pass it on."
Bai Qingyi spoke in an innocent and pitiful tone. Xun Chen looked at her pure temperament, and the last trace of doubt in his heart disappeared.
Xun Chen bent down and helped her up, comforting her: "You are right. It is all because of Xun Jiangshi that she is not a good person. Even the servants in the mansion disdain to communicate with her. It is not the fault of others."
"It's just that Miss Jiang's wrist is still injured. Qingyi will go get a new bottle of ointment and personally deliver it to Miss Jiang to apologize in person."
Bai Qingyi bowed with tears in her eyes and turned to leave.
"Forget it, don't go. She doesn't want me, so naturally she doesn't feel any pain. It's her own fault. Let her go."
Xun Chen stopped Bai Qingyi and wiped her tears.
"Cousin..." Bai Qingyi raised her head and called him hesitantly.
When their eyes met, Xun Chen felt a little hot in his heart and silently recited the rites, righteousness, integrity and shame.
Hemude turned around and sighed, "It's getting late, cousin, you should go back and rest first. We still have to escort Xun Jiang out of the house tomorrow. Remember to let them go through the main gate this time."
Bai Qingyi's face froze and her fingers clenched the handkerchief tightly. When did her cousin know about this? Could it be that bitch Jiang Qingning said something bad about her?
"If I criticize my ex-wife harshly, where will the reputation of my Anping Marquisate be?" Xun Chen explained.
Bai Qingyi nodded obediently, hiding the resentment in her eyes, bowed and walked out the door, looking back at him every few steps.
She pursed her lips pitifully and said, "Then cousin, go to bed early. Don't forget to use this bowl of soup. Qingyi personally watched over it and cooked it for an hour."
The door of the study was closed. Xun Chen swept the debris on the ground and snorted lightly, as if in disdain.
Xun Jiang must have regretted her actions, which is why she tried to attract his attention and get him to visit her, but that was impossible.
Xun Jiang's temper must be properly disciplined. She doesn't even treat her husband well in front of the servants!
He is really stupid and lacks discipline.
The next morning.
Qingyi Courtyard.
"Everyone, please be careful! These are the young lady's dowry. Don't touch or drop them, or let someone with ulterior motives take them away!"
As the sky brightened, the Qingyi Courtyard was brightly lit and all the servants began to move, moving the sorted boxes and crates in an orderly manner.
"Before you leave, open each box and check the dowry list. Make sure there's nothing missing or extra. If someone accuses us and sends us to face the authorities, we'll be in trouble."
Jiang Qingning sat in the room dressing up. Listening to Zi Su's lively voice, she couldn't help laughing and said, "She's only lively now. She even dared to argue with Xun Chen yesterday. She can be considered to have made some progress."
Nanny Zhang pinned the pearl hairpin into Jiang Qingning's bun, put a cloak on her, and smiled.
"Your new clothes and jewelry really make you look dazzling. It's a good thing to clear them out. It means we won't need a single thing from them from the moment we arrive to the moment we leave."
"Mammy, you're right. I see everyone's wearing new clothes."
Jiang Qingning walked outside with a smile on his face, showing a more relaxed attitude than ever before.
Jiang Qingning was born extremely beautiful, with fair and translucent skin that seemed to glow, slender eyebrows, red lips, and upturned eyes. She naturally exuded the noble aura of a superior who looked down on others.
Nanny Zhang followed behind Jiang Qingning, nodding in satisfaction.
It was worth it that she had spent the past three months stewing supplements every day to nourish the young lady's body. Finally, she has regained half of her complexion when she was in the boudoir.
Xun Chen was woken up by a servant before dawn. Before he could get angry, he was told that everyone in Qingyi Courtyard had already set off. He suddenly felt panicked, as if he was about to lose something most important.
Xun Chen quickly changed his clothes and washed up, then walked very quickly on the path he had walked for eight years and was extremely familiar with.
A white figure appeared at the back of the corridor.
Bai Qingyi covered her face with a round fan to hide the jealousy and hatred in her eyes. She leaned over and gave instructions to the servant beside her, who nodded repeatedly and retreated.
Looking at the tall figure with his back to her and hurried steps, Bai Qingyi felt extremely admiring for him and her hatred for Jiang Qingning grew deeper and deeper.
"Jiang Qingning, ah Jiang Qingning, it would have been so much better if you had died quietly in the Taoist temple during these three years. But you chose to come back and cause trouble, attracting the attention of your cousin. You can't blame me for being cruel."
When Xun Chen walked outside Qingyi Courtyard, people were coming and going very busy, and no one noticed his arrival, or it could be said that they ignored him.
Restraining his anger, Xun Chen walked to the gate of the courtyard.
Zi Su, who was counting the goods one by one, caught his attention.
Xun Chen frowned and asked, "What are you doing?"
Could it be that he was afraid that they had failed to steal from the Anping Marquis's mansion last night, and Xun Chen was physiologically disgusted.
Jiang Qingning's petty behavior is really annoying.
Zi Su glared at him, with a familiar feeling: as soon as you stick your butt out, I know what shit you are going to do.
