Chapter 912: The Final Settlement (Part 2)
The girl smiled lightly, a hint of relief. The haze in the depths of her beautiful peach blossom eyes completely dissipated, replaced by determination and brilliance.
Xi Jiu looked into her eyes, raised his thin lips, and smiled with relief.
"Okay. Once you're well, we'll go together."
Ruan Qi curled her eyes, reached out from under the quilt, and held the man's fingers: "Jiujiu, where are mom and dad? And my brother, are they all okay?"
Last night, when Jiang Chunian led his men to Yuyuan to capture her, Ruan Munan, Nie Heng, and Mo Lan were all injured. Ruan Qi pretended to be unconscious at the time, unable to open her eyes to see them. But she couldn't stop thinking about it, and upon regaining consciousness, she immediately asked Xi Jiu about it.
Xi Jiu answered them one by one: "Uncle is taking care of the Cheng family's affairs with Cheng Jinyan. Aunt has been in a bad mood these days and has gone home to rest. Big brother Nie Heng and Mo Lan are in the next ward. Their injuries are not serious, only minor skin wounds."
Ruan Qi's heart finally settled down after hearing this.
"I'm glad the injury isn't serious...Jiujiu, are mom and dad really mad at me?"
When the little girl said this, she was obviously nervous and guilty.
She pretended to be unconscious for more than half a month, and she could feel the worry and anxiety of her family. But in order to deceive everyone, she closed her eyes for half a month without opening them once.
Although she did this to lure out Jiang Chunian and Xu Qingya, it was true that she deceived her family.
Ruan Qi was very worried that Ruan Fengmian, Yang Liu and the others would be angry with her.
Xi Jiu knew her worry and touched her head with a smile.
"Uncle and aunt know you're okay, they're so happy, how could they be angry? They'd rather have their daughter be alive and kicking than in a deep sleep, even if she's a little naughty."
Ruan Qi was still a little worried: "Really? What about my brothers?"
"Big Brother wasn't angry either. After he realized this was all your plan, he just laughed and called you cunning. I think he was more happy than angry."
Rather than lying lifeless in bed, the Ruan family hoped Ruan Qi could be alive and kicking. Even if they poked a hole in the sky, it wouldn't matter, as long as she was safe and sound.
What's more, it is understandable that Ruan Qi pretended to be unconscious.
The Ruan family members weren't actors. If Ruan Qi told them her plan, they might not be able to act sadly enough.
If the Ruan family members weren't genuinely sad, Xu Qingya and Jiang Chunian would likely see through their flaws. By then, they wouldn't necessarily fall for their trap.
Therefore, the Ruan family was not angry with Ruan Qi at all. Instead, they felt that the little girl had really grown up and could actually set up such a plan to completely solve Jiang Chunian.
"Don't worry, baby. No one blames you. Auntie said before she left that she would come over as soon as she got a good night's sleep."
After hearing what Xi Jiu said, Ruan Qi finally felt relieved.
Her expression relaxed a little, and suddenly she thought of Nie Beilou, and her breath was instantly taken back in.
"Jiujiu, where is my master? He said before that he would come and settle the score with me once the matter was resolved..."
Seeing that the little girl was scared, Xi Jiu immediately spoke to comfort her.
But at this moment, the door of the ward opened.
Nie Beilou's cold and ruthless voice came through the crack in the door.
"You still remember me as your master? I thought you were all brave and ready to die alone. You've used the enemy's tactics against you and drawn the snake out of its hole. What other surprises do you have that I don't know about? Ruan Qi, you're so capable!"
Ruan Qi: “…”
