Chapter 20 Thoughtful
Xie Qingran showed no expression, simply nodding slightly before trying to leave the group and head to her private room.
But then, as if something was wrong with him, Lu Jinzhi blocked Xie Qingran's way: "Miss Xie, how can you be so rude?"
"Get out of my way."
Xie Qingran immediately became polite, but after she said those words, everyone's expression changed, especially Lu Jinzhi's.
Lu Jinzhi simply couldn't believe that Xie Qingran would speak to him like that.
"That's right, sister. Young Master Shen is the son of a royal merchant. Shouldn't you at least greet him?"
Xie Hanyue looked at Xie Qingran with some helplessness.
Xie Qingran was originally going to drink tea, but now her mood has been ruined.
She looked coldly at Xie Hanyue and said, "Since you like Young Master Shen so much, then stay and talk to him properly. I have other matters to attend to, so I'll have to stay and not keep you company!"
After saying this, Xie Qingran turned and headed downstairs.
But Xie Hanyue suddenly started crying at this moment.
"Sister, I was just reminding you, how could you say that to me?"
"A young woman's reputation is so important! You...you're saying this to me? I'd rather be dead!"
As she spoke, Xie Hanyue began to crash into a pillar to the side. Lu Jinzhi hurriedly reached out to stop her, grabbing Xie Hanyue tightly and roaring at Xie Qingran.
"Shut up!"
"Hurry up and apologize to Yue'er!"
Xie Qingran didn't even look back; she only wanted to leave this place of trouble.
Lu Jinzhi was furious and reached out to grab Xie Qingran, but unexpectedly, he accidentally pushed her down.
"Miss!"
"Young Miss!"
Baozhu screamed in fright and hurriedly chased after him.
Xie Qingran rolled down the stairs like a ball, landing heavily on the ground, her arm burning with pain.
She took a deep breath and struggled to her feet. At that moment, Baozhu rushed to Xie Qingran's side, tears streaming down her face: "What's wrong, Miss? What happened to you?"
"It's nothing." Xie Qingran moved her joints to make sure that her arm was just dislocated, not broken.
fine.
"Miss Xie, are you alright?"
Shen Wenyuan walked over and looked at Xie Qingran with some concern.
Xie Qingran had no feelings for Shen Wenyuan. In her previous life, Shen Wenyuan had always remained aloof, but he had never said a word for her, only standing silently to the side and watching.
Such people are even more despicable than the perpetrators!
Xie Qingran glanced at him coldly with an expressionless face, then turned and left.
“Miss Xie, you are injured. You should call a doctor. Shall I call a doctor for you?” Shen Wenyuan stepped forward again and reached out to pull Xie Qingran.
Xie Qingran's expression immediately changed, and she pushed Shen Wenyuan away.
"Young Master Shen, please have some self-respect!"
Xie Qingran spoke sharply and sternly, which surprised Shen Wenyuan.
They were meeting for the first time, so they didn't understand why Xie Qingran was treating them this way.
Xie Qingran's forehead was covered in cold sweat. She didn't look at the crowd again, but strode away.
Once outside, Xie Qingran found a quiet corner and, with a single, forceful movement, put her dislocated arm back in place.
"ah!"
Baozhu was terrified and covered her mouth, screaming.
"Young Miss, are you alright?"
"This servant will go and fetch a doctor!"
Xie Qingran stretched her arms and then said calmly, "It's alright, no need, let's go back."
Originally, she wanted to go out for a stroll, but now she was in no mood at all, so Xie Qingran handed all the things she was carrying to Baozhu.
"Go and deliver all of these to the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion. Tell him it's a token of my affection for the child."
Xie Qingran smiled, got into the carriage, gave an order, and the carriage started to move shakily.
Baozhu thought for a moment, then turned around and walked directly toward the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion.
In the shadows, the man sat in his wheelchair, his expression shifting.
"Reed catkins, can you see them clearly?"
Lu Hua immediately nodded: "She did indeed put the dislocated arm back in place. Her movements were steady, accurate, and ruthless. This young lady of the Xie family is truly extraordinary!"
Xiao Jue frowned and glanced at him: "Go back to the manor, take the shortcut!"
He really wanted to know what Xie Qingran had given him.
The Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.
Xiao Yu looked at Xiao Yanran with some dissatisfaction and said irritably, "Can't you be a little more dignified?"
"Brother, how am I useless?"
"This is really delicious! Smell it, it smells so good!"
Xiao Yanran looked at Xiao Yu with a wronged expression.
The Duke of Zhenguo's mansion lacks nothing, except for a thoughtful person. Although Xiao Jue loves his younger siblings, he is, after all, a rough man, so he is completely unaware of what the children actually need.
Over the years, the children, like him, have been eating the food in the mansion. They have no idea what food outside tastes like, especially the snacks they eat, which they have never even seen before.
Xiao Yu thought for a moment, took a hawthorn bean, popped it into his mouth, and then gave one to Xiao Yanran: "This is edible, it's not poisonous!"
"Brother, she won't hurt us. Doesn't she want to be our sister-in-law?" Xiao Yanran's eyes crinkled into a smile. "Brother, I want this little sugar figurine too, and the osmanthus candy! Brother, I like it, can I eat it?"
Xiao Yu was about to reprimand Xiao Yanran, but seeing her expectant look, he felt a pang of heartache and could only nod and hand her the food: "Eat up, eat whatever you like!"
"Big brother!"
Just as Xiao Yanran was about to eat, she saw Xiao Jue return. She hurriedly stepped forward and stuffed the little sugar figurine in her hand into Xiao Jue's mouth.
"Big brother, look what this is!"
Xiao Yanran smiled and looked at Xiao Jue, then took a small piece of cloth and showed it to him.
Upon seeing the object, Xiao Jue's expression immediately changed, his eyebrows furrowing tightly. Even though he had never been with a woman, he knew exactly what it was and snatched it away, asking, "Where did this come from?"
"Sister Xie gave it to me. Baozhu said I'm too old to wear this." Xiao Yanran looked at Xiao Jue very seriously: "Brother, how do I wear this?"
Xiao Jue blushed, feeling the small piece of cloth in his hand burning hot.
He never imagined that girls would need this when they grow up, and that none of the many nannies and old women in the mansion would think of it.
But Xie Qingran, how did she know? How could she be so thoughtful?
