Chapter 63 He was clearly smiling, but it gave people an uncomfortable feeling!
At this time, the old lady of the Marquisate came in, supported by a nanny. "My dear relatives, the afternoon meal has been prepared. Let's go and eat first. Yunqing is here with the maids to take care of her. Don't worry."
Upon hearing this, the old lady of the Protectorate nodded and said, "Okay, thank you for your concern."
Led by the old lady, the group walked into the front hall.
After lunch, the people from the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion said goodbye. Lan Xiyue personally saw them off to the door and watched the carriage of the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion go farther and farther until it disappeared from sight.
Just as she turned the corner of the corridor, Lan Xiyue's footsteps suddenly stopped, because she found that the old lady of the Marquis's Mansion was standing there quietly, her eyes sharp.
Lan Xiyue raised her eyebrows, a faint smile playing on the corner of her mouth, "Grandma is waiting for me?"
The old lady looked at her with a scrutinizing look in her eyes: "I don't know what happened to your mother and second sister last night. What were you doing last night?"
Lan Xiyue frowned, looking confused. "Grandma, what do you mean? I sleep in my room at night. Could it be that I am the one who caused the harm to my aunt and second sister?"
The old lady thought for a moment and said in a bad tone, "It's better this way. If I find out that you are the one behind this, I will show you how I will deal with you."
"Grandma, you can rest assured, I don't have that ability yet." That would be strange.
The old lady looked at her with her cane, then turned and left.
As they walked away, Nanny Li beside them asked curiously, "Old Madam, what you just said, could it be that the Madam and the Second Miss's illness is related to the Eldest Miss?"
The old lady paused, her eyes dark and unclear. "I feel like that girl has changed so much recently. Something's not right. Look how close she used to be to Yunqing and Rou'er, but lately she's suddenly become so cold. Something's not right. I'm afraid she'll cause a disaster and bring disaster to the entire mansion. Send someone to secretly monitor Xilingyuan. Report any unusual behavior to me immediately."
"yes".
Lan Xiyue watched the old lady walk away and murmured softly, "Old thing."
Chuchun stood aside and heard her young lady muttering softly. She couldn't help but sweat for Lan Xiyue. Why was the young lady getting more and more bold, actually disrespecting the old lady? She reminded her, "Young lady, the old lady has left. Should we go back or go see the second young lady?"
Lan Xiyue turned around, a rebellious glint in her eyes, "Come on, let's go out and play."
Chu Xia's eyes lit up when she heard this, "Okay, okay."
Chuchun couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, glaring at Chuxia who was staring at her. "Miss, the Madam and the Second Miss are still sick. If you go out to play at this time, the master will be angry if he finds out. The master is still investigating what happened in Furong Court and Lingbao Court last night."
Lan Xiyue didn't stop there. She walked on nonchalantly, "It's none of my business if they're sick. They just have a fever and a cold. They'll be fine in a few days."
Chuchun was very helpless. The young lady had really changed a lot. If it were in the past, she would have to take care of her eagerly, but she liked the young lady better now.
Walking out of the Marquis' Mansion, Lan Xiyue took a deep breath of the air of freedom and wandered through the bustling city.
Suddenly, a young man bumped into Lan Xiyue.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." The boy's words were a little flustered, and as soon as he finished speaking, he tried to escape from the scene.
Lan Xiyue narrowed her eyes slightly. She grabbed the boy's collar and said in a cold, playful voice, "Want to run?"
The boy was startled by this sudden action and began to avoid looking.
"I didn't mean to bump into you. I've already apologized. What else do you want?" There was a hint of grievance in his tone.
Lan Xiyue looked at the boy in front of her with a half-smile, "You just bumped into me?"
The young man felt a little guilty when she looked at him, and unconsciously avoided her gaze. He suddenly shouted loudly: "Come here, everyone, look, I just accidentally bumped into this girl. I apologized, but she still won't let it go. Can anyone help me?"
This shout immediately attracted the attention of the people around, who gathered around and began pointing and talking.
"This girl looks so pretty, but she has such a mean heart! She just bumped into someone accidentally, so why would you keep harassing her?"
"Yes, yes," many people around echoed.
Faced with everyone's accusations, Lan Xiyue released her hand that was grabbing the boy's collar.
She quickly took out an exquisite purse from the boy's arms and waved it in front of him.
"You really are the one who complains first. You clearly stole my purse, and you're still feeling wronged?"
Chuchun recognized the purse immediately. It was the new purse she had embroidered for her young lady a few days ago. Chuchun was so angry that her face puffed up. She pointed at the boy and shouted, "Humph! This is the purse I embroidered for my young lady, and you are such a petty thief!"
The people around were stunned when they heard this, and they all turned their eyes to the young man who looked pitiful at the moment.
The boy blushed and stammered, "This... this is the purse my mother embroidered for me. It's mine."
Lan Xiyue watched the boy's clumsy performance with a playful smile on her face. "Uh, really? How many banknotes are in here? If you can tell me how much, I'll give it to you. If you can't, I'll send you to the government."
Suddenly, the boy rushed out from the crowd and ran away quickly.
Lan Xiyue narrowed her eyes slightly, and an embroidery needle suddenly appeared in her hand. The embroidery needle was like an arrow shot from a string, accurately shooting towards the boy's right leg.
"Ah..." With a scream, the boy fell to the ground.
When the people saw this, they all dispersed.
Lan Xiyue walked forward slowly, looking down at the young man on the ground with a hint of sarcasm in her tone: "You stole my purse and you think you can just walk away? Humph, it's not that easy."
The young man lay on the ground, looking up at Lan Xiyue, his eyes full of hatred: "You've already taken the purse back, what else do you want?"
Lan Xiyue looked at the young man's hateful eyes and couldn't help but laugh: "Ha! You stole my purse and you're still so self-righteous?"
Not far away, a master and servant were watching this scene. "Young Master, look at the ring on that woman's hand. It looks like our sacred object."
Dongfang Ming was dressed in red. He had an extremely handsome face, but with an indescribable evil charm, and a pair of peach blossom eyes that seemed to be able to captivate people.
He walked to Lan Xiyue, gently shook the fan in his hand, and glanced at the ring on Lan Xiyue's finger without leaving any trace.
Dongfang Ming smiled evilly: "Miss, please forgive others when you can."
Lan Xiyue frowned upon hearing this. She looked at the person who was speaking, "Damn it, system, this person looks too evil. He's completely different from Mo Liyuan."
"girl?"
Lan Xiyue looked at him with a half-smile, "What's it to you? I'm doing something, why would you interfere?"
Dongfang Ming, however, didn't seem to care about Lan Xiyue's attitude. "Meeting is destiny. I'm Dongfang Ming, and I'd like to make friends with you. How about it?"
Lan Xiyue looked at the other person inconspicuously. She was clearly smiling, but she gave people an uncomfortable feeling.
The boy on the ground got up and took the opportunity to limp away.
