Chapter 43 Hug
Xiao Mo didn't expect that he would encounter such a thing while just walking around.
The sweet fragrance of osmanthus fills the air, and the moonlight is like water, flowing down the bright tiles into the room.
The man, who had his eyes closed, heard a rustling sound above him. At first he thought it was a mouse and didn't pay much attention to it.
But later he obviously felt that the sound was wrong, so Wuming turned on the light.
When I looked up, I saw a pair of slender feet of a woman, delicate and small, white and smooth under the moonlight.
Xiao Mo closed his eyes and then opened them again, feeling unsure of what he saw.
But in the blink of an eye, he met the eyes of the young lady above him.
She opened her mouth wide, looking as if she had seen a ghost.
"You...you..." Before he could finish the rest of the words, he slid down.
Xiao Mo's expression changed and he was outside the door in a blink of an eye.
Xu Shuyao wailed in her heart: "My life is over!"
But she slid all the way down the eaves and fell into the air. Then her eyes flickered and her body seemed to be pulled by something, which stopped her downward momentum.
She felt herself bumping into something hard, and thinking it was a piece of tree trunk, she quickly stretched out her hands to hold on tightly.
After the shock subsided, I felt my body was pressed against a heat source, and the touch of the clothes material was so clear.
Xu Shuyao looked up in horror and met a pair of clear and deep eyes.
The man lowered his head slightly, as if he had just realized it.
After a long while, he finally opened his mouth and said, "Are you still not going down?"
Xu Shuyao turned her head and saw that his hands were hanging down at his sides, looking completely out of the matter.
She was a little confused. How come the person who was originally in the house was outside now?
And he was standing right where she fell. Could it be that this prince wanted to save her?
But that doesn't matter.
She should be thankful that this happened just right, so that she would not be lying on the ground with her hands and feet paralyzed and covered in blood.
Xu Shuyao finally loosened her hands, slid down from him, and bowed to the person in front of her, her movements smooth and flowing.
"Thank you, cousin!"
She should say thank you anyway.
Xiao Mo's face was tense as he looked at the young lady in front of him with a fake smile on her face.
He raised his eyebrows, but his expression changed very quickly.
Sometimes he is the prince, sometimes he is the cousin.
He was obviously so frightened that his face turned pale just now, but now he looks fawning and ingratiating.
"What are you doing here so late?" Xiao Mo asked.
Xu Shuyao looked around and saw that besides herself and him, there was only the guard standing in front of the door. It was not appropriate to mention Xiao Jinrong.
"I just went to the Duke's wife's courtyard. I passed by here and smelled the fragrance of osmanthus, so I stopped by to take a look." After the danger was over, she replied calmly.
After all, Xu Shuyao is Chen's niece, so it is not convenient for her to talk about the grievances of the second branch with the prince.
After a long while, I heard him say, "Yeah."
Then he instructed Wuming behind him: "Go to her courtyard and call a maid."
Then his gaze moved down and away again.
Only then did Xu Shuyao realize that her feet were bare, and she tucked her feet into her skirt uncomfortably.
The glazed palace lantern in the room had been placed on the table, and the man who had just spoken had disappeared.
Xu Shuyao found a place to sit down and then put on her shoes and socks carefully.
Bored, she looked up at the glazed tile roof again.
Above the roof, there was a large half moon, shining on a recliner not far away that rocked when touched.
She looked at the fine mink fur cushion on the bamboo chair and thought that this prince really knew how to enjoy life.
On such an autumn night with a faint fragrance, what could be more pleasant than lying down and looking at the moon?
It would be fine if she didn't think about it, but as soon as she thought about it, she felt the urge to lie down.
After a while, the two maids from Jiyunzhai came. When Huixiang saw them, she came forward with an anxious look on her face, "Miss!"
Seeing that she was fine, Xu Shuyao was about to ask about what happened just now, but when she looked up and saw Xiao Mo walking in from the door, she immediately stopped talking.
He said to the two people in front of him, "Help me walk!"
She sat there, and Huixiang didn't take it seriously.
Now when he heard that he needed help, he looked at Xu Shuyao's feet worriedly, "How is it injured? Is it serious?"
"It's okay, let's go!" After saying that, she bowed to Xiao Mo and then walked out with the support of two maids.
After the two men left, the man in the room pulled over the bamboo chair covered with mink fur and lay down. Fang asked calmly, "What happened?"
"When I went to Jiyunzhai just now, everyone inside looked anxious. When I heard that they were asked to pick up their young lady, I followed them without saying a word."
Wuming stood before his master. Seeing he didn't respond, he continued, "A passing servant said the Second Young Master had been blocking someone not far away. My guess is..."
After listening to this, Xiao Mo waved to him, closed his eyes and fell asleep again.
Xu Shuyao's foot was not in the way, so when Nanny Zheng wanted to send someone to Jinhua Hall, she stopped her.
As the granddaughter of an imperial physician, she does have some skills.
She took a closer look and saw that there were no injuries to her bones, so she applied some medicine for bruises and sprains.
The next day, he sent someone to Songhe Hall to ask for leave and explain the matter.
When Mrs. Xiao heard about it, she immediately asked her maid to take her visiting card to ask for a doctor.
When the doctor arrived, he saw that the patient had been treated and the swelling had gone away in just one night. He also praised her ointment and his words seemed to indicate that he wanted to get a glimpse of the truth.
Xu Shuyao just said that it was a recipe passed down from her ancestors.
Her grandfather passed away suddenly, and she didn't want to create any more trouble.
But while she was recuperating her feet, Liu Qingwan and Xiao Jinshan came to talk to her for a long time.
Xiao Jinshan, in particular, was anxious the moment she saw her. "How did you sprain your ankle? The Shen family is having a banquet in a few days. What should I do?"
Xu Shuyao stretched her almost healed legs and said, "It's okay. I promise I can go with you then."
Now that Xiao Jinshan has found a good marriage, she speaks louder than usual.
She is going to get married next year, and as a girl she will have almost no chance to go out to attend banquets. Right now, she is trying her best to show off at a small banquet.
If this cousin couldn't go, she was really afraid that her grandmother wouldn't let her go either.
So after hearing that Xu Shuyao had injured her foot, the third daughter of the Xiao family was the one who was most worried about her, except for the people in Jiyunzhai.
Liu Qingwan looked at the person lying on the bed and her eyes couldn't help but lowered.
Today, she ran into her second cousin in the courtyard. After he called her, he suddenly said something strange: "Cousin Liu! Don't worry! I've already helped you vent your anger."
Liu Qingwan didn't react at that time.
What she hated most now was the third daughter of the Xiao family in front of her, but she looked fine.
This is the second most annoying...
Does she hate this cousin Xu?
Of course.
