Yes, this child is so naive, ignorant, and lacks common sense.
"Oh, thank you for your trouble, Elder Dong. Otherwise, you may leave, butler. I'll see Elder Dong off and also ask him for some medical advice."
"This..." The butler hesitated visibly, glancing at Old Master Dong, clearly trying to remind him of something.
Old Master Dong remained silent, but Xie Lingzhu spoke softly, "Steward, there's no need to trouble the young master. We'll just go out of the manor with you."
Just as the butler was thinking that this useless bodyguard had actually gotten to the point, he heard Old Master Dong suddenly speak up in a gentle voice, "Then, I'll have to trouble you, young master."
The housekeeper was in a very awkward situation.
Xie Lingqin was even more frustrated because she felt that Old Dong must have done it on purpose.
Because when he said those words, he glanced at her, and that glance was full of profound meaning.
Therefore, the old man kept the matter firmly in mind.
Liu Yunzhou was never an arrogant person. Upon hearing this, he smiled, waved the butler away, and walked forward side by side with Old Master Dong.
The butler sighed, thought for a moment, and followed with a smile, "Then, let's go together."
“Okay, let’s go together.” Liu Yunzhou nodded, not objecting.
Xie Lingqin thought Liu Yunzhou was a real fool.
Thus, in this short stretch of road, one could truly hear Liu Yunzhou's humility in asking questions and Elder Dong's generous sharing of his knowledge.
It disturbs my ears and makes me restless.
The butler, citing the reason that he did not want to damage the second young lady's reputation, led the group to the back door.
Liu Yunzhou had no doubts.
Xie Lingqin looked on and thought, how could there be such a heartless and naive person in this world who doesn't suspect anything at all?
As Xie Lingqin was thinking, a foot suddenly stretched out from nowhere. Xie Lingqin's heart tightened, and she subconsciously tried to dodge, only to find that she couldn't dodge at all. Looking up, she realized that if she lunged forward, she would fall directly onto Liu Yunzhou.
She doesn't want to.
Poker butler?
don't want.
That……
There are only four people here; who else could it be but Elder Dong?
So, in that instant, Xie Lingqin lunged straight at Old Master Dong.
I can't crush you, and I won't hurt you either.
Then, "Bang—"
A sound.
Xie Lingqin had a close encounter with the ground and fell hard.
Just as Xie Lingqin was about to get close to Elder Dong's back, Liu Yunzhou suddenly reached out and pulled Elder Dong away.
She comforted him with immense relief, saying, "Luckily, I reacted quickly."
Old Master Dong patted his chest, still shaken, "Thank you for your help, Young Master Liu." Then he looked at Xie Lingqin, who was struggling to get up from the ground, and said, "Yan She, how could you be so careless?"
Xie Lingqin vowed to tear Old Dong's bones to pieces.
He absolutely did it on purpose.
But in reality, she slowly got up, cupped her hands in a gesture of respect to Elder Dong, and bowed her head, saying, "It was my fault for walking unsteadily. Please don't be angry, Elder Dong."
"It's alright, it's alright. Old Master Dong has always been magnanimous and kind, he won't hold it against you." Liu Yunzhou displayed an elegant and courteous demeanor, making excuses for Xie Lingqin.
Little did she know, at this very moment, the person Xie Lingqin most wanted to get rid of was him.
Willow Cloud Island!
You've got guts.
Was he really not sent by the Crown Prince to torment her?
Even after she boarded the carriage, Xie Lingqin's face remained pale and ashen.
"Young brother, don't be angry. You tricked me first. I only tripped you up. If it weren't for Young Master Liu's help, I'm afraid I would have suffered a great loss and been completely suppressed by you."
At this moment, Elder Dong's eyes began to reveal the demeanor of an elder.
However, Xie Ling could not help but feel that there was a hint of smugness in those eyes.
"I'd love to crush you, but the thing is, I respect the elderly."
Xie Lingqin gave a forced smile.
"You can't crush me," Old Dong said kindly, stroking the stubble on his chin.
"You're an old lady over fifty, and you're still arguing with a young man like me. You're really magnanimous." Seeing that they had already arrived at the gate of the manor, Xie Lingqin said this and jumped off the carriage. "Goodbye, no, it's best if we never meet again."
Old Dong lifted the carriage curtain and looked at the figure that had already gone far away. A smile that did not belong to someone of his age appeared in his eyes.
...
Xie Lingqin hadn't gone far when her eyes narrowed.
What Elder Dong said just now seemed a bit strange.
But if you ask me what's strange about it, I can't quite put my finger on it.
However, now that the accountant had made the decision, Xie Lingqin thought she should inform Bai Yu first.
So she went to Bai Yu's house and told him the news before Xie Lingqin returned to the General's Mansion.
The next day, very early in the morning.
General Xie then ordered his men to invite Xie Lingqin to the front hall.
In just one night, the drawbacks of a household without someone in charge of managing its affairs became apparent.
Xie Zhuangjun invited her there to discuss who would be in charge of the household now.
Logically speaking, as the legitimate daughter of the General's Mansion, it would be most appropriate for her to manage the household before marriage.
but……
Seeing the hesitation in General Xie's eyes, Xie Lingqin barely stood up from the stool. "Father, you see, my abilities are limited, and I am not capable of taking on the responsibility of managing the household. Otherwise, how about we find one of the concubines in the General's mansion?"
Upon hearing this, General Xie's eyes showed a hint of surprise. This was what he had thought, but...
He had many concubines, but only a handful were truly capable of managing the household.
"My sister is intelligent, well-mannered, and has a keen eye for people. I wonder who you are considering?" Xie Lingqin asked, looking at Xie Lingyu sitting opposite her.
Xie Lingyu's fingertips twitched slightly as she looked up at Xie Lingqin.
She's so kind of her, why am I asking for her advice?
This right originally belonged to her mother, and she ruined it all. Now, people are asking her what her true intentions are.
