Chapter 511: The Femme Fatale in the Double Life Story (10)
Su Yu inside the door had to endure the physical discomfort, and also had to worry about being discovered by people outside. She bit her lips tightly, feeling extremely regretful, and also getting annoyed with Xie Qinglan.
If he hadn't gone as planned, he wouldn't be in such a mess.
Su Yu hugged her knees tightly and dared not make a sound. The irritability in her heart fueled her heat. She couldn't help but open her collar to cool down and lick her dry and pale lips.
Suddenly, she opened her eyes wide and looked up.
A shadow appeared in front of her eyes. The man walked over to her and looked down at her.
Su Yu's heart was pounding, afraid that he would open the door at this time.
Su Yu stared at Xie Qinglan, her watery eyes tinged with panic. She opened her lips and begged silently, "Don't do this, please don't."
The man bent down slightly and picked up the person on the ground, like picking up a soft ball without bones. The woman fell weakly on him.
Finally, the effect of the medicine took over. Su Yu sighed and hugged Xie Qinglan unconsciously, coveting the coolness of his body and snuggling into his arms.
Xie Qinglan lowered his voice and said coldly: "If you don't want to be discovered, just be quiet."
The rooms are simply furnished and offer a panoramic view.
Xie Qinglan took a quick look, carried the person to the cabinet, opened the door, and stuffed the person in: "Hide and don't make a sound."
Su Yu curled up her legs and sat down, staring at him blankly, as if she didn't understand why Xie Qinglan wanted to help her.
Xie Qinglan glanced at her expressionlessly and closed the cabinet door.
Finally, I softened my heart towards her.
Xie Qinglan smoothed out the wrinkles on his body caused by Su Yu, looked around, and found nothing wrong. Finally, he glanced at the closet and walked towards the door.
With a creak, the door opened from the inside.
Xie Qinglan came out and saw the people outside with a calm expression: "Madam, Miss."
Without waiting for the lady to ask, Su Miaoer couldn't believe it: "Xie Qinglan?! Why are you here?!"
Su Miaoer couldn't believe that the person she had been waiting for in the room for so long had actually been next to her. What on earth was Su Yu doing?
Xie Qinglan frowned in confusion: "Shouldn't Xie be here?"
The Marquis's wife also narrowed her eyes and looked at her with a probing look.
Su Miaoer almost bit her tongue and waved her hands: "No, no, I mean, why didn't you make any noise when you were in there? Why did you lock the door?"
Xie Qinglan suddenly realized, "My clothes got dirty on the way to the front hall. The servant brought me here and asked me to wait for a while. She went to get the spare clothes for me, but she didn't come back yet. I read a book late last night, and I couldn't help but take a rest after waiting for a long time."
"As for locking the door, I really didn't pay attention to it. I shouldn't have caused Madam and Miss to worry."
This explanation made sense, especially since there was indeed a water stain on Xie Qinglan's clothes.
Su Miaoer could only blame herself for her bad luck and curse Su Yu a hundred times in her heart.
The Marquis' wife still had doubts. She looked past Xie Qinglan and behind him, then suddenly stopped and narrowed her eyes slightly.
There seemed to be a piece of lilac-colored clothing flashing by the wardrobe door, and then disappeared in an instant, making people think that they were dazzled.
Xie Qinglan noticed something and looked back, but found nothing.
Noticing the broken pieces of the vase on the ground, Xie Qinglan paused, then bowed and said, "I accidentally knocked over the vase and damaged the property in the mansion. I am willing to compensate you according to the price."
The Marquis's wife turned her attention to the vase and smiled politely, "Mr. Xie, you are too kind. It's just a vase, not worth much. I think the servants were careless and didn't put it away properly. It's not Mr. Xie's fault."
"The birthday banquet is about to begin. I'll ask someone to get a set of clean robes for Mr. Xie. Please move over after you've changed your clothes." As she said this, the marquis's wife winked at the maid, asking her to keep staring at this side.
A group of people came and went, and the guest room was soon empty.
Have Xie Qinglan be sent to the male guests, while the Marquis's wife and other ladies go to the female guests.
Su Miaoer stared at Xie Qinglan's back in annoyance, and complained in her heart that Su Yu and the servants were unreliable and that such a thing as delivering the food to the wrong room could happen.
If not for this, she might have snatched the engagement between Su Yu and Xie Qinglan.
The Marquis's wife was absent-minded, still thinking about what had just happened.
She suddenly thought of a question. If the vase was dropped by Xie Qinglan, it would prove that he had woken up at that time. If he was awake, why did it take so long for the door to open when Yinghong knocked on it?
And that piece of mauve clothing, if it wasn't an illusion, then it meant...
Madam Hou was shocked. Xie Qinglan was having a secret meeting with a woman in the room?
How could such a well-behaved person do such a thing?
The Marquis's wife took a sip of tea and suppressed her disgust. The Marquis had said that the man had a good character and great knowledge, but she didn't expect him to be so eccentric.
Fortunately, the one who was going to marry was the concubine's daughter, not her Miao'er.
Thinking of Su Yu, the Marquis's wife suddenly remembered that she seemed to have hardly seen the concubine's daughter since today.
Half an hour before the banquet started, the maid ran over in a panic: "Madam."
Madam Hou gently put down the teacup and said, "How can you be so impatient?"
The maid gasped, stood up and saluted: "Madam, please forgive me."
Madam Hou glanced at her and asked, "Did you see who it was?"
"Look, see clearly." The maid looked embarrassed and stammered, leaning over to the Marquis's ear and whispering, "It was the Second Miss, and... and the Second Miss came out of the room in dishevel."
The Marquis's wrist trembled, and she almost dropped the cup on the ground. She was furious and said, "Ridiculous!"
It's simply bringing disgrace to the family!
As the birthday banquet was about to begin, the Marquis’ wife suppressed her anger and said, “Let’s talk about it after the banquet is over.”
Su Yu did not show up until the birthday banquet began. She only asked Lan Ying to come over and ask for leave on the grounds of feeling unwell.
The Marquis's wife glanced at Lan Ying coldly and said, "Go back and tell your daughter that if she is not feeling well, she should go out less to avoid embarrassing herself and bringing disgrace to the Marquis's residence."
Back in the yard, Lan Ying told Su Yu this and almost cried with anger.
"Miss, what does Madam mean by this? You are very careful and cautious in the mansion, behave properly, tolerate everything, and treat servants very well. There is no master better than you. Why does Madam always target you?"
“…”
Thinking of Su Miaoer who almost fell into the water and died, and Nanny Tong who had already fallen into the water and died, Su Yu fell silent.
I always feel that Lan Ying seems to have some kind of filter on her.
Su Yu replied shamelessly: "Yes, why did Madam target me? Did she know what happened today?"
Lan Ying panicked: "What should I do then?"
Su Yu forced herself to calm down: "No matter what, the mastermind of this matter is Su Miaoer, and it can only be Su Miaoer. I was just threatened by her and had to do this. I think my father is not a person who can't distinguish right from wrong."
"Also, tell Su Miaoer that Xie Qinglan will go to his father's study after the banquet. This is her last chance."
Su Yu is vindictive and will not let either Su Miaoer or Xie Qinglan go.
