Chapter 113 For You
Xie Qingran blushed, a rare occurrence for her. She gave Gu Xiangyuan a coquettish look and said irritably, "Your mouth will get you into trouble sooner or later!"
Hearing this, Gu Xiangyuan clearly didn't care at all. She shrugged indifferently and said lightly, "I'm just envious of you. I originally thought that my cousin didn't like you and was afraid that you would suffer after you married him. But now that I see how much he cares for you, I'm relieved!"
"My cousin may seem tough and sharp-tongued, but in reality, he's a good person, a really good person!"
"Don't be afraid of him."
"My cousin was once such a brilliant and outstanding person."
Whenever Gu Xiangyuan thought of Xiao Jue from the past, she couldn't help but want to cry.
It was because she had seen Xiao Jue so bright and dazzling that she felt especially sorry for him now. He should have been the most dazzling person in the capital, but now he had become like this.
Seeing Gu Xiangyuan's distressed state, Xie Qingran understood. After all, who could be more dazzling than Xiao Jue back then?
However, Xie Qingran smiled gently and said directly, "Don't worry, the young master is so good, God will take care of him, things will definitely get better in the future!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Xiangyuan sighed and said helplessly, "My cousin's health is incurable. The imperial physician has already made a diagnosis. I'm afraid he'll have to live like this for the rest of his life. You... are you really willing? Even if my brother is like this, are you willing to stay by his side for the rest of your life?"
"I do."
Xie Qingran spoke with unwavering conviction, almost without the slightest hesitation.
Gu Xiangyuan met Xie Qingran's firm gaze and smiled slightly: "Thank you!"
"Whether it's silly or not, I did it all willingly."
"Actually, if it weren't for the fact that the Crown Prince has become like this, I wouldn't be worthy of him at all."
“I’m happy to be able to be by his side.”
Xie Qingran acted as if she really liked Xiao Jue.
Seeing Xie Qingran's expression, Gu Xiangyuan smiled and then took off the hairpin from her hair, handing it to her and saying with a smile, "I like you, and I will definitely treat you well in the future. No matter who it is, if they dare to bully you again, I will not let them off easily!"
"Thank you very much, Miss!"
"Let's go hunting!"
"Perfect timing to try out the bow the prince gave me!"
After saying that, Xie Qingran pulled Gu Xiangyuan along and they walked together into the woods behind the mountain.
Gu Xiangyuan was a well-bred young lady who was usually surrounded by many people serving her when she walked around the courtyard. She had never had such an experience before, and her pace could not keep up with Xie Qingran.
She looked at Xie Qingran with some curiosity and confusion: "How can you run so fast?"
"When I was on the estate before, I ate very hard food; I had to find the meat myself!"
"Come with me, I'll take you rabbit hunting!"
Xie Qingran smiled and looked at Gu Xiangyuan, then took her hand and found a secluded spot.
Sure enough, a short while later we saw a plump, white rabbit!
Seeing this, Xie Qingran immediately made a shushing gesture, then drew her bow and shot an arrow, which hit the rabbit's tail with a whoosh!
"Did it hit?"
"You, you, you, didn't you say you weren't good at it?"
"That's amazing!"
Gu Xiangyuan immediately stepped forward and hurriedly grabbed the rabbit in her hand.
Wow, it's huge!
Xie Qingran hadn't expected to be so lucky. She hurriedly took the rabbit, and together with Gu Xiangyuan, they returned to the manor. She handed the fish and rabbit to Granny Feng, and then took Gu Xiangyuan to drink in the courtyard.
Seeing this, Gu Xiangyuan squinted her eyes happily and said with a smile, "I'm so happy, so incredibly happy. I've never had such a leisurely time before. When I was at home, I always had to write and embroider. Sometimes I really don't understand, what's the use of me writing? I can't take the imperial examinations. All I can do is find someone to marry."
There are only a few roads that a daughter can travel on.
But to everyone's surprise, even a well-bred young lady like Gu Xiangyuan would be troubled by such a thing.
Xie Qingran didn't speak, but just smiled faintly, picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, and happily squinted her eyes, enjoying the sunlight.
"Well, the entire Xie family couldn't find you anywhere. I never expected you to be here."
Shen Wenyuan suddenly appeared like a monkey, snatched the teacup from Xie Qingran's hand, took a sip, and looked at her with some reproach.
"Why didn't you tell me you were going out? You made me go to the Xie family for nothing!"
"This is a new rouge from our shop. Take a look, do you like it?"
Shen Wenyuan, being naturally outgoing, sat down next to Xie Qingran.
Xie Qingran already loathed this person!
Looking at him now, I find him even more disgusting, especially since he deliberately did this in front of Gu Xiangyuan, which makes him even more despicable!
Xie Qingran picked up the teacup on the table and smashed it on the ground, saying irritably, "Who gave you permission to come to me? Who gave you permission to use my teacup? How can the second young master of the Shen family be so rude?"
"Exactly! How could you just barge in like that? It's so rude!" Gu Xiangyuan finally realized what was happening, her eyebrows furrowed tightly as she looked at Shen Wenyuan with displeasure.
Shen Wenyuan saw Xie Qingran as soon as he entered the room, completely unaware that there was someone else there. When he heard Gu Xiangyuan's voice, he was startled and hurriedly said, "I, I didn't mean it!"
As he spoke, Shen Wenyuan quickly stood up, bowed respectfully, and said, "I was just too thirsty, so I used your teacup. Please forgive me, Miss Xie!"
That's more like it.
Xie Qingran finally understood at this moment that he wasn't completely ignorant, he just wasn't as mature as her.
Absolutely outrageous!
Seeing his affectedly charming demeanor, Xie Qingran's face was full of disgust, but she still took the rouge he had given her and smiled gently at Gu Xiangyuan beside her: "Third Miss, take a look at this, do you like it?"
"This is definitely fresh; it smells like jasmine. I've never seen it before!"
"I knew it. Things from the Shen family are always good. I like them."
Gu Xiangyuan held it in her hand, smelled it carefully, and remembered the scent, thinking that she could buy an exact copy of it in the future.
"Since Miss San likes it, then this rouge is fortunate. May I give it to you?"
