In the front hall of Chang Mansion.
Chang Miao'er walked in wearing an ordinary light-colored dress without any jewelry, which made everyone feel that the girl was very thin and plain. But when she raised her head, she showed a beautiful and charming appearance, especially her pair of clear and bright almond-shaped eyes, which immediately showed a charming glow.
Xie Xichun was wearing a red dress with patterns all over the hem that were sewn by top embroiderers. After hearing Mrs. Chang's introduction, she looked up at Chang Miao'er. She stepped forward with a sincere look in her eyes and said, "Miss Chang, thank you for saving me from the lake last time."
She is the most precious daughter of the Xie family. She grew up in a wealthy family and is at the age of innocence. She speaks frankly and has no bad intentions.
After falling into the water, he rested well in the Chang Mansion for a few days. He was now fully recovered and his voice was full of energy. After expressing his gratitude to Chang Miaoer, his savior, he directly took her hand to show his affection.
Chang Miao'er smiled slightly when she heard this, and said in a gentle tone: "Thank you, Miss. You are a guest in our house, and it is only natural for me to help you."
These words were said perfectly and politely, without any intention of currying favor. Xie Xichun himself was a straightforward person who would get angry at the slightest provocation, and he liked people who spoke gently like this.
At that moment, her favorability towards Chang Miao'er increased a little more in her heart. She said in a coquettish and enthusiastic tone: "Sister Chang, no matter what, you saved me last time, and I am not the kind of person who will not repay the favor."
After Xie Xichun finished speaking, he turned around and called out, "Zhu'er."
A fat maid came out from behind her, carrying a small wooden box in her hand.
"Sister Chang, this is a small gift I prepared to thank you for saving my life. If you need any help in the future, just let me know." She patted her chest and said confidently.
Miss Xie, who holds the female lead's script, is not afraid that she will use her words to repay the favor, and she doesn't leave herself any room for maneuver!
Chang Miaoer smiled as she gently held Xie Xichun's hand, but her eyes were filled with surprise and a mixture of laughter and tears.
"In that case, thank you very much for the gift, Miss. But don't worry about saving my life. I just think of it as a fate between Miss Xie and me, and it's just a friend helping each other." She said
Seeing this, Luo'er, who was behind Chang Miao'er, stepped forward and took the wooden box from the maid Zhu'er.
Chang Yongnian stroked his beard, enjoying the sight of Chang Miao'er and Miss Xie chatting happily. He said, "Miao'er, Miss Xie and you are destined to be together. Please, on your father's behalf, invite Miss Xie to visit the mansion."
"Yes, Daddy." Chang Miaoer nodded when she heard that, but she caught a glimpse of Lin's forced smile from the corner of her eye.
Xie Xichun affectionately took Chang Miaoer's arm, turned around and said hello to her cousin: "Brother Heng, Sister Chang and I will go out for a walk. You can discuss it with Master Chang slowly. I won't disturb you."
Seeing this, Mu Heng smiled helplessly and said, "Go ahead, but don't act so capriciously anymore."
Xie Xichun snorted and said angrily:
"knew!"
…
Chang Miaoer and Miss Xie left the front hall and listened to her complaining all the way about her cousin being too strict and finding fault with her all the time, saying that she was not good at this or that.
There was an intimacy in the words that did not allow outsiders to interfere.
Chang Miao'er couldn't help but tease him, pretending to be indignant and said, "Xie Xiao-Xiao, since your cousin is so annoying, why don't you speak frankly to him? Why would a man like him make things difficult for a girl like you?"
Xie Xichun's peach blossom eyes sparkled when she heard this, and a trace of confusion appeared on her bright and dazzling little face. After a long time, she stammered, "Brother Heng is not that bad. I...I did some things wrong. He..."
Chang Miaoer couldn't help but chuckle, her eyes curved.
Xie Xichun finally realized that the words just now were meant to tease her. Her little face flushed with embarrassment and she raised her hand to play with Chang Miaoer.
"Okay, Sister Chang, you're laughing at me..."
There was sweet chirping and constant laughter.
Chang Miaoer usually keeps a low profile and seldom wanders around the mansion admiring the scenery. So now the two of them were strolling around very casually. After playing around, she took Xie Xichun through the corridor of the mansion according to her memory, casually admiring the scenery along the way.
After walking around, the relationship between the two became closer and they chatted very casually.
Xie Xichun said, "Sister Chang, my cousin and I will be returning to the capital tomorrow. We don't know when we will meet again after today."
"Are you leaving tomorrow?" Chang Miaoer was a little surprised.
Xie Xichun nodded and sighed, "We'll leave early tomorrow morning. I'm staying at your house temporarily because I fell into the water. I'm well now, so Brother Heng won't delay your trip any longer."
When Chang Miaoer heard the news, she thought of the nosy man who had been taught a lesson by her before and whose identity was unknown. She felt relieved at the moment. Now that this group of people had left, she no longer had to stay in the mansion to avoid the limelight.
With a smile on her face, she gently persuaded, "We don't need to worry about this. Miss Xie, we can keep in touch by letter after you return to Beijing. Perhaps we will meet again in a while."
"Okay, Sister Chang, I will write to you." Xie Xichun smiled when he heard that.
Chang Miaoer chuckled. At this moment, she didn't know that what she said would soon come true.
It was getting darker and the sun was setting in the west.
The two of them were walking around the mansion when it was time for dinner. Seeing this, Chang Miaoer sent Xie Xichun to the front yard where she was living and said goodbye to her.
It was inconvenient for Luo'er to carry a wooden box, so she let Luo'er go back to the west yard in the afternoon.
At this moment, Chang Miaoer came out of the front yard and walked back slowly, but suddenly she felt a faint gaze watching her from the dark.
The looming presence made the look in her eyes change slightly.
What was strange was that after just a moment, the dark vision disappeared. Chang Miaoer frowned slightly, not knowing what was going on.
She turned around again, making sure that the sight was really gone, and then she slowly walked back.
The other side.
Shadow bowed and reported the news.
"Master, in the front yard this afternoon, I saw someone who looked very similar to the woman in the painting. She was close to Miss Xie and seemed to be the third young lady of the Chang residence."
Gu Ziyuan lowered his eyebrows, a cold smile on his thin lips as he said, "The Third Miss of the Chang family? Can you tell me her name?"
"I have already made inquiries. The Third Miss Chang, whose name is Chang Miao'er, has little presence in the Chang Mansion. The servants only know that she is the daughter of an unfavored concubine. The only thing she is worthy of praise for is that she saved Miss Xie a few days ago."
Shadow spoke without any emotion.
"It's her." Gu Ziyuan thought of the blurry pink figure in the lake that day.
Shadow asked, "Master, do you want to bring the person here tonight?"
"No, wait."
Gu Ziyuan sneered: "I have a better idea..."
