Cheng Hongsui looked shy, but her demeanor remained confident and not overly embarrassed.
Those eyes did not forget to look at Xiao Cunyu again, and the more they looked, the happier they became.
There are many good-looking young men in the capital, but the younger brother of the Xiao family is not only outstanding in appearance, but also in his temperament. He comes in a free and easy manner, making people feel as if they are drunk in the spring breeze and the fragrance is floating on their clothes. One look at him and all worries are relieved.
"Seventh Young Master, please come in." Cheng Hongsui couldn't help but take a few more glances, her eyes almost glued to Xiao Cunyu's face.
"Cough!" Old Master Cheng coughed dryly as a reminder.
Although Cheng Jia Qilang is young, he is still a foreigner after all. Is it appropriate to stare at him like this all the time?
Cheng Hongsui then averted her gaze embarrassedly: "My brother has been seriously ill recently and has consulted many doctors. He has taken a lot of medicine but is still not getting better. The smell is a bit strong. If Qi Langjun can't stand the smell, go to the front yard and rest for a while."
"Why did Brother Rui suddenly fall ill?" Xiao Cunyu asked.
When the grandfather and grandson heard his address, they were both a little stunned, but fortunately they accepted it quickly.
Old Master Cheng didn't want to pay attention to her, but Cheng Hongsui was different. She immediately replied, "Maybe the weather has turned cold recently, and my body can't stand it. I've been feeling listless all day, and then I got a fever, and it hasn't subsided for a few days..."
Xiao Cunyu nodded thoughtfully.
The grandparents invited her into the house and sat there for a while. Seeing that Xiao Cunyu was clearly interested in visiting her, Cheng Hongsui said, "My brother is seriously ill. It would be inappropriate to give him the energy he needs. Why don't you sit here and try this tea? After my brother has taken the medicine, I'll take you to the back garden to see the flowers."
Cheng Hongsui didn't know what to do.
If it were a woman, looking at flowers would indeed be a good choice, but Xiao Qilangjun is a young man after all, and he certainly doesn't like those beautiful things.
But her mourning period had not yet ended. If her brother had not been ill, she would not have been able to go out to meet guests. It was really not convenient for her to take Xiao Qilang out for a walk.
"No need, I just want to go see my brother Cheng Rui." Xiao Cunyu looked determined.
The Cheng family is full of evil spirits, and she feels that Cheng Rui's illness is probably not mild.
If the evil spirit is not broken, Cheng Rui might even lose his life!
She had noticed earlier that her elder brother did not look happy and was afraid that he would not be able to get married in the short term. Now, looking at the Cheng family, she was even more certain.
If Cheng Rui died, how would the eldest daughter of the Cheng family get married in the short term?
Not to mention getting married, she might even be labeled a jinx.
Cheng Hongsui is twenty years old this year. After she got engaged, the old lady of the Cheng family, who was originally in good health, passed away. Within two years, the eldest wife of the Cheng family also passed away. These two were Cheng Hongsui's closest relatives. If Cheng Rui passed away again...
The Cheng family must take the initiative to cancel the engagement.
Even if the Xiao family doesn't care about these things, Old Master Cheng cannot do anything that will drag down the Xiao family for the sake of his own reputation. Not only will he have to cancel the engagement, he may even have to send Cheng Hongsui to a nunnery to practice asceticism for a few years.
At this time, looking at the faces of Xiao Jingyun and Cheng Hongsui, they really do look like a couple, but a good marriage is full of hardships, so it will take a long time to come.
Now that she has encountered this, she should try her best to change her fate.
If my eldest brother gets married and has children sooner, he will pay less attention to her!
Cheng Hongsui glanced at the old man, and seeing that he was indifferent, she nodded helplessly: "How about this, let's take a look through the screen?"
She knew in her heart that Xiao Qillang probably insisted on meeting her because of the instructions from the eldest lady of the Xiao family.
If Madam Xiao knew her brother was so ill...
