Chapter 164 Luck
Xie Qingran looked at Xiao Jue with some confusion: "Is there something wrong with me?"
this……
Xiao Jue was holding back his anger, but faced with Xie Qingran's confusion, he found it difficult to express it!
Yes, Xie Qingran did everything a princess consort should do, even arranging the food, clothing and daily necessities of everyone in the family very well, but just... it just wasn't the right way!
Something's not right!
Xiao Jue felt awkward and uneasy, but when facing Xie Qingran, he couldn't quite put his finger on what was wrong. He could only grit his teeth and groan.
He felt that Xie Qingran was doing it on purpose. How could someone so intelligent not know what he cared about?
It was intentional; it was absolutely intentional to make him unhappy!
Seeing Xiao Jue's annoyed expression, Xie Qingran had no choice but to take his hand and gently coax him, "Yes, it's all my fault. I will definitely pay more attention to whether the young master is eating well and sleeping well in the future."
Xiao Jue was initially furious, but Xie Qingran's boundless tolerance made him feel somewhat embarrassed.
"Whatever."
Xiao Jue threw down these words in a huff, turned the wheelbarrow around, and fled in a panic.
Watching Xiao Jue's fast-moving figure, Xie Qingran was somewhat surprised. She hadn't expected his little bicycle to be so fast.
Although Hongshan was far away, she could roughly hear the conversation between the two. As an outsider, Hongshan was certain that the Crown Prince was just acting cute, but the Crown Princess was completely unaware of it.
Seeing that Xiao Jue was even harder to coax than a child, Hong Shan stepped forward helplessly. He pushed Xiao Jue's wheelchair and said, "Young Master, you are already twenty years old this year."
"What?"
Xiao Jue frowned and looked at Hong Shan with displeasure.
Doesn't he know his own age? Does he need this guy to remind him?
"What I mean is that your behavior just now was like that of a three-year-old child."
"If you want the Crown Princess's attention, why not just say so?"
Sequoia really doesn't understand why they have to be so hesitant.
He had been by Xiao Jue's side since childhood, accompanying him as he grew up, like a brother. So he couldn't understand why Xiao Jue was being coy.
Sometimes, I really want to poison you!
Xiao Jue's eyebrows furrowed tightly as he gave Hong Shan a cold look.
"The young master could poison himself with a simple lick of his lips; why bother others?"
Sequoia murmured softly.
But Xiao Jue still heard it clearly, and he gritted his teeth: "Sweep a whole month's worth of stables!"
"No, I'm going to sweep the stables. Who will serve the young master then?"
"Your Highness, please calm your anger. I know I was wrong."
Sequoia quickly backed down, fearing that it would really be sent away.
He pushed Xiao Jue to the Snow Pavilion. Xiao Jue got up, walked to the divine physician, and asked directly, "When will the scars on my face completely disappear?"
"It should be ready in about three to five days."
"However, during this period, the Crown Prince needs to use this medicine on his face; he cannot stop."
The divine physician took out a bowl of dark, ointment and handed it to Xiao Jue.
Before Xiao Jue could even get close, a stench wafted over, and his expression immediately changed. His eyebrows furrowed tightly as he gritted his teeth and said, "What is this thing? Why does it smell so bad?"
"Although it smells a bit bad, the effect is definitely very good, so please bear with it, Your Highness."
The divine physician looked at Xiao Jue with some helplessness. He was a doctor, not a god, and did not have a medicine that could cure all ailments.
Seeing this, Xiao Jue thought carefully for a moment and looked at Hong Shan: "Go and tell the Crown Princess that from now on, I will be living in the Snow Lodge."
He couldn't possibly share a room with Xie Qingran while covered in this dark and smelly stuff, could he?
Even if Xie Qingran didn't care, he still needed to maintain his dignity.
"yes."
Sequoia also found it very strange. In the past, Xiao Jue only cared about his own thoughts. When did he become so concerned about the life and death of others?
Looking at the house that had been tidied up so neatly, and seeing her Ah Jin going to school early and returning late these days, Qin felt gratified but also heartbroken.
She hurriedly found Xie Qingran: "Qingran, you've managed everything at home so well. It's my fault for not being able to help you much. These are some pastries I made myself. I hope you don't mind."
Xie Qingran glanced at Qin Shi and said with a slight smile, "Sister-in-law, you are too kind. These are nothing. However, I still want to try the pastries you made yourself."
Before marrying into the family, Xie Qingran was worried that Qin Shi would try to seize power from her and that she would get in her way. However, she never expected that Qin Shi was a truly peaceful person who never interfered in the affairs of the inner quarters. She simply stayed with her children and her own little plot of land, living a good life.
Seeing her like this, Xie Qingran felt a little admiration. She had never experienced love, so she couldn't understand whether a person could love another person for a long, long time based on memories.
Xie Qingran picked up a pastry, took a bite, and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, your cooking is really good. By the way, how has Ah Jin been lately? Mr. Liao is strict, is he able to handle it?"
"It's funny to think about it. Ah Jin used to be the most afraid of hardship and would cry at the drop of a hat. But now, he gets up early and works late without complaining about being tired. He goes to school every day with great enthusiasm."
"Seeing him like this, I feel quite relieved."
Thinking about her son's recent progress, Qin's lips curled up slightly, and she felt a surge of satisfaction.
“Ah Jin is the eldest grandson of the eldest son’s family. Even though his parents-in-law are no longer alive, his status cannot be disordered.”
"The future glory of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion will depend on him. Fortunately, this child is strong-willed, which makes things easier for his sister-in-law."
Xie Qingran smiled slightly, acknowledging Ah Jin's noble status.
Sometimes she wondered if Ah Jin would be the most noble and happiest child in the entire capital if that incident hadn't happened three years ago. Unfortunately, his father had died young, and he was now living with a widowed mother. The child was pitiful.
Qin seemed to be thinking of her deceased husband, her eyes reddened, and she said in a low voice, "Actually, when your elder brother was alive, he didn't want the child to become a general. At that time, our Duke Zhenguo's mansion was so powerful that it threatened the emperor. Your elder brother just hoped that the child would grow up safely, so I didn't dare to ask for too much. I just wanted A-Jin to be well."
"Sister-in-law, I'm sorry, it's my fault. I hurt you by saying these things." Xie Qingran hurriedly stepped forward, handed over a handkerchief, and looked at Qin Shi apologetically.
Qin wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and gently smiled: "Qingran, the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion only feels like a home because of you. Having a princess consort like you is the good fortune of all of us!"
