It's a pity that Duan Hong didn't understand what she meant. Instead, he comforted her, "Don't think too much. Your eldest brother is just like that. He has no ill will towards you."
Seeing that Duan Hong was still speaking for Duan Sijin, Duan Shishi felt even more resentful, but she didn't dare show it on the surface.
I could only smile stiffly and said, "I...I don't blame Big Brother, I just feel sad."
But she gritted her teeth in her heart and said, Duan Sijin actually dared to treat her like this for the bitch Duan Qingxi. In the future... she will make him regret it!
After Duan Sijin pulled Duan Qingxi back to her yard, there was obvious anger on his handsome face.
Qiao Yun caught up, but seeing this, she didn't dare to go up, so she had to hide behind Chan Xue who was watering the flowers.
Duan Sijin angrily asked, "Tell the truth! Where did you and the Ninth Prince go?!"
When this was mentioned, Duan Sijin was so angry that he almost exploded.
When they were at the Fifth Prince's Mansion, Qiao Yun suddenly rushed to find him and said that Helian Sheng had taken Duan Qingxi away and would not send her back until the evening.
A grown man goes out with a woman who is already engaged and comes back late at night. No brother would be happy about this!
Duan Qingxi knew that he was worried about her, so she just smiled and said, "Brother, don't be angry. The Ninth Prince wanted to discuss something very important with me."
Duan Sijin was about to ask her what was going on when Duan Qingxi added, "You know, the Ninth Prince saved my life before, and it was because of him that I was able to gain a foothold in the General's Mansion. This favor is so great, I have to repay it!"
Duan Qingxi said this just to prevent Duan Sijin from misunderstanding her relationship with Helian Sheng.
But when he heard her last words, he suddenly fell silent.
Yes, if it weren’t for Helian Sheng at that time, Duan Qingxi might have died at the bottom of the cliff, and even he and Duan Hong might not have known about it for the rest of their lives.
It was also because of Helian Sheng that Duan Qingxi was able to gain a foothold in the General's Mansion and that allowed him to understand his sister better.
Otherwise, even if Duan Qingxi survived and came back alive, he would be killed by Duan Shishi.
His angry expression faded considerably. Duan Sijin placed his hands on Duan Qingxi's shoulders and said to her earnestly, "Xi'er, Dad and I will always remember the Ninth Prince's kindness to you. His kindness to you is also a kindness to our General's Mansion. If he needs any help, Dad and I will do it for him, even if it means giving up everything."
"But you're a girl, and you're already engaged to the Fifth Prince. Meeting him privately is inappropriate. If someone finds out, they won't care whether you're innocent or not. Plus, he's a prince, and you're just from the General's Mansion... Miss, the world will only blame you for being indecent, but they won't blame him at all. Do you understand what Big Brother means?"
Upon hearing this, Duan Qingxi immediately slowed down the movement of stroking the fox's fur.
Indeed, she had not considered this matter carefully.
She traveled from the modern era, so she never took these things to heart, especially since she had a bold personality, many friends, and often went surfing with shirtless men. She was used to it.
But in ancient times, these were considered indecent behaviors and the punishment was to be thrown into a pig cage!
However, since she had made this deal with Helian Sheng, and needed his help to find the Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox, contact was inevitable.
She had to think of a way first...
At this time, Duan Qingxi suddenly saw someone looking around furtively outside her yard, as if eavesdropping.
Her memory was pretty good, so she could barely remember that the eavesdropping maid seemed to be someone close to Duan Shishi.
"Xi'er, why aren't you talking? Are you angry with big brother?"
He said it so directly that Duan Qingxi might have thought that he had misunderstood her relationship with Helian Sheng.
