Chapter 108 You Scoundrel
After waiting for a long time, Wang Shi didn't hear her speak and realized that something seemed wrong.
She frowned slightly, looking at Xie Qingran: "Why aren't you saying anything!"
What can I say?
"I've been in my room ever since I got injured. How could I possibly plot against him?"
"Whether I can outmaneuver him when he goes out or when he rides a horse, Mother, you overestimate me."
Xie Qingran remained expressionless, but her words carried an undisguised sarcasm.
Now, Wang calmed down and realized that she had been too impulsive and had wronged Xie Qingran.
She took a deep breath, then her eyebrows furrowed tightly: "Come with me now to see your brother. He's your own brother, and this is what you, as his sister, should do!"
"yes."
Xie Qingran did not refuse. She simply got off the bed, slowly put on her shoes, and then followed Xie Zhaoye to his courtyard.
Seeing Xie Zhaoye lying on the bed with his right leg covered in blood and gore, Xie Qingran's expression changed. She hadn't expected it to be so serious.
The servant knelt on the ground, trembling: "This servant doesn't know what happened. I just saw the young master fall off his horse. When we got there, he was already like this."
The physician had finished treating Xie Zhaoye's wounds by then.
"Although the young master's injuries are serious, fortunately, no bones were damaged. It's just a superficial injury, and he won't be left with any disability."
Upon hearing this, Xie Yankang and Wang Shi both breathed a sigh of relief.
Xie Hanyue hugged Wang Shi tightly, choking back tears as she said, "That's wonderful, Mother, did you hear that? My brother is alright now, he just needs to rest and recover."
Immediately afterward, Xie Hanyue seemed to have thought of something, and tilted her head to look at Xie Qingran: "Sister, didn't the young master give you the best hemostatic medicine and external wound medicine? Your injury has almost healed. Can you give these medicines to brother?"
The medicine from the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion is definitely the best.
"My sister used to serve the Imperial Concubine, how come she doesn't even have any decent medicine?"
Xie Qingran replied coldly, her face expressionless.
Wang had just breathed a sigh of relief, but upon hearing this, her expression immediately turned ugly. Her eyebrows furrowed as she looked at Xie Qingran with displeasure: "There's so much medicine, you can't use it all by yourself. Why don't you give it to your brother?"
"Logically speaking, there's nothing wrong with giving it to the brother, but since it was the sister who arranged this, when the brother wakes up, whose favor should he be grateful to?"
"My sister used my things to curry favor with my brother, and even made my mother hate me so much. What a clever trick."
Xie Qingran's main principle is to speak her mind directly and never hide anything again.
Xie Hanyue's little scheme was perfectly clear to her; she was simply being generous with other people's money.
"Why do you have so many worries when we're just a family?"
"Yue'er isn't that kind of person!"
Wang frowned, almost instinctively defending Xie Hanyue.
Xie Hanyue looked at Xie Qingran pitifully and said, "Sister, you really misunderstood me. I didn't mean anything by it. I was just worried about my brother and afraid that something might happen to him. Well... if you don't want to, then forget it. Just pretend I didn't say anything."
"But you've already said that if I give it to you now, it'll be a favor to you; if I don't, it'll be me being cold-blooded and heartless."
"Whether I give it to you or not, you'll benefit, little sister. So tell me, should I give it to you or not?"
Xie Qingran stepped forward and confronted Xie Hanyue aggressively through Wang Shi.
"That's enough!"
Wang pushed Xie Qingran away almost instinctively.
Her movement was quite forceful, causing Xie Qingran to lose her balance and fall to the ground, her palm scraping heavily against the floor, leaving a bloody stain.
"Enough!"
At this moment, Xie Yankang also sensed something else. He glanced at Xie Hanyue with displeasure and said, "What kind of medicine can't our Xie family afford? Why do we have to use the Zhenguo Duke's mansion's?"
"Alright, alright, Zhaoye needs to rest now, you can all leave!" Xie Yankang waved his hand in dissatisfaction, directly kicking Wang Shi and Xie Hanyue out.
After they all left, Xie Qingran took out a small bundle from her sleeve, and inside were bottles and jars full of high-quality external wound medicine.
"Physician, come here and examine these medicines carefully to see if there are any adverse reactions."
Xie Qingran's emotions calmed down at this point.
Now, Xie Yankang finally realized a key point: Xie Qingran only became irritable in front of Xie Zhaoye and Xie Hanyue; at other times, she was aloof, gentle, and easy to talk to.
The physician stepped forward and examined the young master carefully before saying, "There was no impact. These are the best external medicines. With these, the young master will surely recover!"
That's more like it.
Xie Yankang nodded in satisfaction and looked at Xie Qingran with a smile: "I knew you still care about your brother, and you still have feelings for him."
"I just don't want the Xie family's future to be ruined!"
"I just hope that Aunt Lian is carrying a son."
Xie Qingran glanced at Xie Zhaoye on the bed, sighed helplessly, bowed to Xie Yankang, and then strode outside.
The reason she did this today was to gain Xie Yankang's favor and to make him understand that as long as there are other sons in the family, there is no need to place all hope on one person, which would greatly reduce the risk.
Some things are better brought up casually than subtly.
Rose Garden.
As Xie Qingran entered the room, she saw an envelope on the table. She walked over, opened it, and found Xiao Jue's handwriting inside. There were only four words: Are you satisfied?
At this moment, Xie Qingran instantly understood that the reason Xie Zhaoye broke his leg was most likely because of Xiao Jue.
Thinking of this, Xie Qingran's lips curled up slightly. Then she burned the letter to ashes. She was satisfied; naturally, she was very satisfied.
As expected of Xiao Jue, his actions are extraordinary. If nothing unexpected happens, Xie Zhaoye won't be able to cause any trouble before her marriage.
Begonia Garden.
"You bastard, Xie Qingran, that bitch!"
"How come she's become so sharp-tongued and eloquent? It's really going too far!"
Xie Hanyue was furious. After returning home, she started smashing things. This time, she made quite a scene, and even Wang Shi found out.
Upon receiving the news, Madam Wang rushed over. Seeing the mess on the ground, she hugged Xie Hanyue with heartache and said, "My child, if you have any grievances, just tell your mother. Why did you throw such a tantrum?"
