Huan'er blinked, and seeing that her older sister had really left her, she became anxious again, "Third Uncle, what should we do? Did I make my sister angry?"
"Don't rush." Xie Zhan patted Huan'er's head and said softly, "Didn't Huan'er say that your sister likes osmanthus cake? Go to the kitchen and ask the cook to make some osmanthus cake. Take it to your sister and she will be happy."
Huan'er's eyes widened. "Really?"
“Of course it’s true.” He smiled again. “If it doesn’t work, Huan’er can come to me again.”
"Okay!" Huan'er smiled and grabbed a passing maid, asking her to lead her to the kitchen.
Xie Zhan sat in the pavilion, looking at the crabapple blossom that Feng Guang hadn't taken. He picked it up with interest. Looking at the flower's vibrant color, he couldn't help but think of the girl's happy face, which seemed even more dazzling and beautiful than the flower itself. He had long heard that his elder brother's daughter was incredibly beautiful, and this was indeed true.
"Third Master." A pretty maid came over with a bowl of soup. She bowed and said, "This bowl of bird's nest porridge was sent by the old lady."
Xie Zhan glanced at it and said calmly, "Put it down."
"yes."
When the maid came over and put down the bowl, the scent of perfume on her made Xie Zhan frown.
However, the maid put down the bowl but did not leave in a hurry.
He then asked, "What are you still doing standing here?"
"The old lady said that I should watch the Third Master finish his porridge before I leave."
Xie Zhan finally turned his gaze to her. "Are you the old lady's maid? I've never seen you before."
"This servant is new here, and my name is Xiaoyu."
“Xiaoyu…” He smiled and put the bowl back in her hands. “I won’t drink this porridge. Go and tell the old lady.”
"Third Master..."
He raised his eyes, his expression authoritative without being angry. "Wasn't what I said clear enough?"
“Yes…” Xiaoyu bit her lip, and as she turned around, it seemed she hadn’t left well. The bird’s nest porridge in her hand fell to the ground, and her body fell backward.
Xie Zhan reacted quickly, stood up and took a step back, so Xiao Yu did indeed fall to the ground. Unfortunately, her sash got caught on the stone table, so when she fell, her loosely tied sash came undone, and half of her clothes came loose, revealing her white undergarment.
Just then, a figure returned. Xie Zhan's head suddenly started to ache when he saw the scenery that had forgotten his reaction.
No wonder Feng Guang was stunned. Xiao Yu, lying on the ground with her clothes disheveled, looked as if she had been violated by some man, and here, there was only Xie Zhan as a man.
Just as Xie Zhan was thinking about how to explain, Feng Guang, who had already come to her senses, bypassed Xiao Yu on the ground, grabbed his hand, and hurriedly ran away.
Xiaoyu was naturally anxious, but she couldn't catch up, and Grandma Xie had already arrived with the others.
Behind a rockery, Feng Guang glanced at the situation outside and thought to herself that she was lucky she ran fast. When she turned around, she unexpectedly bumped into the man's chest. She rubbed her nose and glared at him fiercely.
Xie Zhan smiled, bent down slightly, and said in a low voice, "Why are you back again?"
“I came to pick up the flowers Huan’er gave me.” Feng Guang lowered her voice and whispered in his ear, “On the way back, I saw the old lady with people and I also saw you bullying a little girl, so of course I understand why.”
That's why she dragged him along when she ran.
Xie Zhan was somewhat helpless. He lowered his voice and said, "I didn't bully her."
"Could it be that she took off her clothes and fell down by herself?"
He looked at her with admiration. "Exactly."
Feng Guang scoffed and uttered two words in a rather unfriendly tone: "Men."
It seems she doesn't believe it.
Despite her young age, she seemed to know a lot about men. Xie Zhan tapped her forehead with his index finger and laughed, "Whether you believe it or not, I didn't touch her at all. Clearly, this is the woman the old lady deliberately found to force me into marriage."
