His expression was sincere, and his face showed great anticipation.
"hiss……"
A collective gasp arose from all around.
Thinking to himself that this young master must have lost his mind, he could have simply stood by and watched the spectacle as the wife of the vice minister insulted him, but instead he went forward to ask to borrow a carriage.
Zihe stood on the carriage, concentrated for a moment, and looked back at the carriage behind her.
"Oh, why should I lend it to you?" Xie Lingqin asked.
Yes, no way. Let the young master of the vice minister die here. He deserves his retribution.
This is the sentiment of the general public.
Qin Xun cupped his hands and bowed slightly, saying, "If Miss can lend me the carriage, I will remember your great kindness and repay you by serving you like a slave in the future."
"Your mistress treats you badly, and your brother doesn't treat you very well either, so why are you helping him?" Xie Lingqin asked again.
“Miss Xie, we are all of the same origin, why should I care about these things? I only hope that my elder brother will be alright and that my mother and father will not be sad.”
Inside the carriage, Xie Lingqin beckoned to Chen and then remained silent.
On the other side, the Vice Minister's wife, who was originally holding Qin Qi and crying, was also stunned when she heard Qin Xun's words. She looked at him with obvious surprise, but what she saw in her eyes was even more jealousy and hatred.
However, all she wants now is a carriage, a carriage.
“Alright.” After a while, Xie Lingqin’s voice came from inside the carriage. “Although the wife of the Vice Minister was rude, Young Master Qin is knowledgeable, polite, kind and benevolent, so I will lend you the carriage.” With that, Chequ lifted the curtain and helped Xie Lingqin out of the carriage.
From afar, all that could be seen was the woman's slender yet strong figure, her skirt shimmering with a light blue glow, but...
But you can't see their faces.
Xie Lingqin wore a hood.
With so many people around, she didn't want to be exposed to the public.
"Thank you, Miss." Qin Xun bowed and said.
For a man to treat a woman this way, this is considered a great courtesy.
After waiting for Xie Lingqin and Zihe Tridacna to walk to the side, Qin Xun pulled the carriage a little closer to the Vice Minister's wife's carriage and said respectfully, "Mother, the carriage is borrowed."
"Hmph, at least you've got the heart to do it." The Vice Minister's wife's expression was clearly not good. She glared at Qin Xun before having someone carefully lift Qin Qi onto the carriage.
After watching the carriage disappear into the distance, Qin Qi walked over and bowed to Xie Lingqin again, saying, "Miss, you are so kind; I am deeply grateful."
"No need." Xie Lingqin smiled from under her hood before lifting her foot and walking forward.
"If Miss isn't in a hurry, I can rent a carriage." Behind him, Qin Xun seemed to feel bad, and spoke with his hands clasped together, his eyes very sincere.
Xie Lingqin glanced back and said in a very soft voice, "I'm also going to Elder Dong's residence. Elder Dong invited me to come over and play chess."
Old Master Dong invited the young lady from the General's Mansion to play chess!
Since being divorced by the Prince Xian, the eldest daughter of the General's Mansion has seen her already tarnished reputation plummet even further...
However, upon meeting her today, I found Miss Xie to be kind and generous, neither humble nor arrogant, unlike the rumors that she was timid and petty.
That makes sense. If someone as respected as Elder Dong invited Miss Xie to play chess, then Miss Xie must be quite remarkable.
"My family has a horse-drawn carriage..."
"I have some too..."
“Mine is in the alley ahead, recently…”
At the same time, someone in the crowd immediately spoke up upon seeing her graceful figure walking slowly.
Xie Lingqin paused.
"Miss Xie, please wait a moment. This carriage is new. I just brought it out of the horse farm today for a test run. You can use it first, and I'll come back to pick it up when you're done."
A burly man with a thick beard was a man of action. As he spoke, he rushed into the alley ahead and pulled the carriage out.
Although the carriage was smaller than hers from before, it was still quite exquisite.
Unable to refuse the warm invitation and with everyone urging her to join, Xie Lingqin glanced at the burly man with the bushy beard and naturally agreed, getting into the carriage.
With the coachman gone, Zihe had to drive the carriage.
After a while, until the carriage had left, everyone dispersed.
"As expected, seeing is believing. This young lady from the General's Mansion is truly a kind person..."
"That's right. I heard about what happened at the Vice Minister's residence a while ago. Miss Xie even lent him her carriage despite the front lines. She's truly a kind person..."
"I think the second young master of the Qin family is a good person, kind-hearted..."
The crowd was filled with murmurs and discussions.
In the crowd, at the corner of an alley, a person completely shrouded in a cloak looked around with a deep gaze, then turned and left.
The carriage moved slowly.
Zihe and Tridacna exchanged a glance, but they couldn't figure out what their young lady was thinking.
"Stop." Xie Lingqin suddenly told Zihe to stop the carriage.
Zihe clearly sensed something as well, and stopped the carriage beside a small alley, where towering trees blocked out a patch of the last rays of sunlight.
"Young Master Qin, your frail body must have been exhausted from following for so long."
As Xie Lingqin spoke, she had already stepped out of the carriage and was looking behind it.
Out of curiosity, the giant clam went to take a look.
Zihe looked anxious and stood protectively in front of Xie Lingluqin.
A breeze blew by, and after a long while, someone finally emerged from the shadows.
It was Qin Xun who looked at Xie Lingqin with a restrained expression and cupped his hands. "I'm sorry, Miss Xie, I was worried about you, so I thought of secretly escorting you to Elder Dong's residence."
Xie Lingqin looked at Qin Xun and suddenly smiled, "I see. It's alright. It's broad daylight, there won't be any problems. You can go back now."
"Alright, thank you for your care, Miss Xie." Qin Xun finished speaking, cupped her hands in a gift, and turned around.
"Stop." Xie Lingqin's voice suddenly turned cold as she called out to him.
