Chapter 245 It wasn't me, it really wasn't me.
Xiao Yanran immediately rushed forward and covered Xie Qingran's mouth: "Sister-in-law, don't say such things! Although the child is still in your belly, he can hear you!"
“Sister-in-law, the child in your belly is our little nephew. No matter what outsiders say, we know you are a person of impeccable character and would never do anything to betray your brother!” Xiao Yu stepped forward, firmly standing on Xie Qingran’s side.
With the support and trust of these two children, Xie Qingran's once desolate heart gradually warmed up.
She smiled and then said, "Alright, go back and do your homework. If Mr. Liao punishes you tomorrow, you're not allowed to talk back!"
The three children then left laughing and joking. Children will be children; they forget things as soon as they're done.
Upon hearing this, Madam Qin became very anxious and rushed to find Xie Qingran. She looked at Xie Qingran with concern and asked, "How are you? Are you alright? Is the child alright?"
"Ah Jin has already gone back. Didn't you see him when you came?" Xie Qingran looked at Qin Shi with some surprise.
Qin waved her hand dismissively, strode forward, grabbed Xie Qingran's hand, and sat down with her: "I'm not asking about A-Jin, I'm asking about the child in your belly!"
"Sister-in-law, aren't you afraid that Ah Jin will get hurt?" Xie Qingran couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Why don't you care about the kids fighting?"
Qin waved her hand dismissively, then said calmly, "During this time, Xiao Jin has been practicing with his master, and his fists are much harder than before. He won't be at a disadvantage in a fight!"
Upon hearing this, Xie Qingran couldn't help but cover her mouth and burst out laughing.
She shook her head and said calmly, "Don't worry, sister-in-law. It's just some gossip. Why should I take it to heart? I know perfectly well where the child came from, and so does Xiao Jue."
"Let people say whatever they want. Our Duke Zhenguo Mansion is already in the eye of the storm. Actually, if things get even more chaotic, it wouldn't be such a bad thing."
"But, sister-in-law, we must keep a close watch on the house. It can be messy outside, but it can't be messy at home. You know what I mean, right?"
Xie Qingran held Qin Shi's hand, her eyes resolute.
"I understand, I understand what you mean. I'm asking you, Zhou Shi, what do you plan to do with her?" Qin Shi's face turned pale with anger. She gritted her teeth and looked at Xie Qingran: "I know you have a good nature, but this situation is really too bad. You can't be soft-hearted anymore, understand!"
Upon hearing this, Xie Qingran immediately nodded obediently and said with a smile, "Yes, I'll listen to my sister-in-law!"
Upon seeing this, Madam Qin was taken aback for a moment, then reacted, laughed out loud, and gently nudged Xie Qingran: "You, you are really getting more and more mischievous."
Previously, Qin had always thought Xie Qingran was cold and difficult to get along with, but after getting to know her, she found that Xie Qingran was completely different. In fact, she was very warm-hearted, and sometimes she was even a little bit adorable and well-behaved.
"Don't worry, sister-in-law, I'm really fine." Xie Qingran smiled and touched her lower abdomen. "How could my child with Xiao Jue be a coward?"
Upon hearing this, Madam Qin nodded and smiled gently, "Then you should rest well. I'll head back now."
After saying that, Madam Qin got up and strode outside.
Xie Qingran subconsciously touched her lower abdomen, then glanced at Baozhu: "A whole day has passed. Have you figured out how to deal with the rumors?"
"No, this servant is too stupid, this servant doesn't understand anything."
"Miss, I'm just feeling wronged."
Baozhu lowered her head in frustration, feeling a wave of depression. She casually sat down in a chair, resting her chin on her hands.
Seeing her silly and adorable appearance, Xie Qingran felt a surge of tenderness in her heart. She then pulled her along and walked outside, directly calling over the redwood tree that was watering the flowers in the yard.
"Madam, what are your orders?"
Sequoia had heard some of these things, but being a man, he didn't want to ask too many questions.
“I remember, A-Jue gave me three hundred soldiers before he left, right?” Xie Qingran raised an eyebrow and looked at Hongshan.
Sequoia immediately nodded: "Does Madam need help?"
"Three hundred is too many, thirty will do."
"Take them to Zhou's courtyard and teach her a lesson."
After saying that, Xie Qingran strode outside.
Seeing Xie Qingran's retreating figure, Hongshan immediately realized what was happening, hurriedly called for help, and chased after her together.
More than thirty men, all strong and capable, stormed into Zhou's courtyard, causing chaos and disorder throughout the entire place.
Zhou had never seen such a scene before and was completely taken aback.
She pointed at Xie Qingran, who was in the lead, her eyebrows furrowed tightly, her fingers trembling: "You, you! Xie Qingran, what are you doing? Are you crazy? This is my courtyard! You brought so many people in and barged in! What are you trying to do?!"
"Of course I have to thank Sister-in-law Zhou for her special care."
Xie Qingran raised an eyebrow, looking at Zhou Shi with a half-smile.
Upon hearing this, Zhou felt a surge of panic and hurriedly shook her head, saying, "No, I don't know what you're talking about. Xie Qingran, get out! All of you, get out!"
"Since Sister-in-law Zhou is so interested in other men, then I will naturally satisfy you."
"There are thirty here. If that's not enough, we can add more, okay?"
Xie Qingran raised an eyebrow, looking at Zhou Shi with a half-smile.
What kind of inhuman and lewd words are these!
Zhou looked at Xie Qingran in disbelief, never expecting that she could say such a thing in front of so many people.
She almost instinctively shrank back, gritting her teeth as she glared at Xie Qingran: "How dare you!"
"You can try and see if I dare," Xie Qingran raised an eyebrow, looking at Zhou Shi with a half-smile. "You've ruined my reputation and disgraced the Xiao family. It's only right that I punish you however I feel."
Zhou stepped back again, her back pressed against the wall. The cold touch made her shiver.
Her eyebrows furrowed tightly: "Xie Qingran, no, please, please don't do this, I... I really didn't mean it, it wasn't me!"
"Not you?"
"Redwood, tell the brothers to take good care of your sister-in-law."
Xie Qingran couldn't help but laugh.
Finally, she took a step back and glanced at the redwood.
Sequoia immediately reacted: "What are you all standing there for? Remember, be gentle and considerate to women."
As the men all walked towards her, Zhou's panic and fear reached their peak.
She shook her head desperately: "No, you can't, Xie Qingran, you can't do this to me! Xie Qingran, it wasn't me, it really wasn't me, it was Xie Hanyue, she did it all!"
