Chapter 118 Just thinking about it makes me incredibly excited
The maid in the room was applying medicine to Aunt Su's back. The ointment was applied, and the pain made her break out in a cold sweat.
The maid raised an eyebrow and said coldly, "Please bear with it, Madam. This medicine was specially prepared by the doctor at the Second Madam's request. It works very well, and the wound has stopped bleeding now."
Upon hearing this, Aunt Su gave a wry smile.
The reason Lin used such good medicine was simply because she was afraid that people would discover the bloodstains on her body and damage her reputation.
Besides, the faster she recovers, the sooner she can suffer again.
Her eyes then turned to Xie Songyi on the bed, and she felt a pang of sadness. She had been hoping day and night that he would wake up soon.
If she continues to be tormented by Lin like this, her health will deteriorate day by day.
I wonder if Second Master will find the scars on her back ugly when he wakes up and sees them.
After applying the medicine, she sat by the bedside with Xie Songyi for a while. Seeing the afterglow of the setting sun shining through the window screen, Aunt Su knew it was time to return to the Jingnan Marquis's residence.
But Shen Qingnian still hasn't returned.
Aunt Su felt a little uneasy.
She touched the Second Master's face and gently comforted him, "Second Master, I have to go find my niece. I'll come back in a few days."
Then, she tucked the blanket around him again before reluctantly leaving the room.
Aunt Su walked around the estate for a while and saw several women carrying baskets back. She went up to them and asked, "Have you seen a young lady and a maid?"
Several women shook their heads, one of them pointing to the woods behind them and saying, "I did see two young women heading towards the woods."
Aunt Su had a bad feeling.
Their estate was next to that forest, where wild boars occasionally roamed. So the people on the estate forbade them from eating their crops and dug traps in the forest. If someone fell in, they might lose their life.
What is Nian'er doing running into the woods?
As the last rays of the setting sun disappeared, Aunt Su grew increasingly uneasy.
She lifted her skirt and ran to the dining hall, where Lin and Xie Min were having their meal.
Seeing Aunt Su rush in so abruptly, Madam Lin frowned: "What's the matter that's causing such a panic?"
Aunt Su said anxiously, "I heard that Nian'er and Ling'er went into the woods and haven't returned yet. Madam, could you send a few people with me to look for them?"
Madam Lin said with disgust, "What is a young girl doing running into that woods? Don't listen to people's nonsense!"
Aunt Su knelt on the ground, pleading with Madam Lin: "Madam, please let me take some people to look for them. I'm afraid the two of them are in danger."
Xie Min put down her chopsticks, looked at Aunt Su, and then turned to Madam Lin, saying, "Mother, since Aunt is in such a hurry, why don't you send a few people to help look for her?"
Upon hearing this, Aunt Su looked up, somewhat surprised that Xie Min would speak up for her.
Could it be that her temperament has improved somewhat during her time confined to the estate?
Aunt Su bowed to Xie Minfu and said, "Thank you, Madam, thank you, Miss."
Xie Min watched as Aunt Su lowered her eyes and thanked her, and a smile appeared on her lips.
Anyway, I can't find it no matter how hard I look.
Even if she were found, Aunt Su probably wouldn't be able to bear seeing her in that state.
The mother and daughter exchanged a glance, and Xie Min cleared her throat: "Auntie, go quickly."
If you're going to put on an act, you have to go all the way. The mother and daughter were completely unaware of Shen Qingnian's disappearance and even instructed their servants to help search for her.
Thinking of this, Xie Min's lips curled up.
Afterwards, Lin instructed several farmers and old women to take torches and follow Aunt Su into the woods to search for the person.
Flames flickered in the woods, and Aunt Su fell to the ground several times.
Suddenly she noticed some bloodstains ahead, which made her heart pound.
She only felt relieved when she saw an injured pheasant in the trap ahead.
At this moment, Xie Yanzhi was sitting in the Guanlan Residence, looking at a large table of delicious food, but he couldn't eat a single bite.
He placed the chopsticks on the table and called to Yuan Qing, "Why hasn't Shen Qingnian returned yet?"
Yuan Qing looked at the thick darkness of the night and was also puzzled.
He just sent someone to inquire at the second branch of the family, and Aunt Su has not returned to the mansion either.
Seeing Xie Yanzhi's dark face, Yuan Qing could only cautiously say, "They may have been delayed on the way; Aunt Su hasn't returned to the manor yet either."
After a moment of silence, Xie Yanzhi frowned, stood up, and said, "Let's go to the estate!"
He thought to himself, "Shen Qingnian, you'd better have something come up, otherwise..."
In the manor, Madam Lin combed Xie Min's long hair and asked calmly, "What do you plan to do with that slut Shen Qingnian?"
Xie Min smiled charmingly: "Let's see if she survives tonight first."
Today, when she heard from someone sent by Madam Lin that Shen Qingnian had arrived at the estate, she felt that this was truly wonderful news.
Ever since she was imprisoned on the estate by the old lady, she has been looking for an opportunity to go out and settle scores with Shen Qingnian!
Now, Shen Qingnian has come to me of her own accord.
As expected, every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt has its debtor. The debts Shen Qingnian owed will eventually have to be repaid to her.
I wonder what kind of expression Shen Qingnian is looking at right now. Will her beautiful face turn pale?
Thinking this way, Xie Min felt even more at ease. She hugged Lin's arm and gently pressed her face against it.
Lin was also very pleased, as Xie Min hadn't smiled like that in a long time.
Just then, a servant's voice came from outside the door: "Madam, Miss, the eldest young master has arrived."
"Xie Yanzhi? What's he doing here so late at night?"
A flicker of panic crossed Lin's face, but she quickly composed herself.
When soldiers come, we'll block them; when water comes, we'll dam it!
She was her second aunt; what was she afraid of him for?
"Serve the eldest young master some tea first, I'll be right there." After combing the last strand of Xie Min's hair, Madam Lin put down the comb.
Xie Min suddenly grabbed her hand, her eyes filled with hatred: "Mother, be careful. Xie Yanzhi might be here for that bitch!"
“Min’er, the eldest son is your elder brother!” Madam Lin was a little worried. If Xie Yanzhi heard Xie Min calling him by his name, it might anger him.
"He doesn't deserve it!" Xie Min said through gritted teeth.
Since he chose to save Shen Qingnian instead of her last time, he is no longer her older brother!
Madam Lin shook her head, sighed, and took the old woman to see Xie Yanzhi.
As soon as Madam Lin entered the room, she saw Xie Yanzhi sitting in a chair, his face full of impatience and frost. She smiled and cleared her throat, saying, "What brings you here, Yan-ge'er?"
Xie Yanzhi raised his eyes and looked at Madam Lin: "Second Aunt, I've come to find my maid!"
Maid? Madam Lin was completely bewildered. When did Xie Yanzhi have a maid?
She smiled and said, "Brother Yan, are you joking with your second aunt? When did your maid come here?"
"I came with Aunt Su today."
"Shen Qingnian is my maid," Xie Yanzhi said calmly, his eyes showing no emotion.
Madam Lin was somewhat surprised that Shen Qingnian would stoop so low as to become a maid for Yan Ge'er.
Seeing a hint of surprise flash across Madam Lin's face, Xie Yanzhi said coldly, "Second Aunt, where is my maid now?"
Meeting Xie Yanzhi's cold gaze, Madam Lin tried to suppress her panic: "I heard from Aunt Su that Shen Qingnian went into the woods, and I have already sent people to go and look for her."
Xie Yanzhi walked to the door and saw several torches lit in the woods across the way.
What was she doing running into the woods so late at night?
Xie Yanzhi glanced at Lin Shi again, and seeing that there was nothing unusual on her face, he said to Yuan Qing, "Let's go! Find them!"
After Xie Yanzhi left, Madam Lin slumped onto the stool, her heart filled with panic.
Shen Qingnian is now Xie Yanzhi's maid. What should we do?
You have to consider the owner before you beat a dog!
I'm afraid Xie Yanzhi won't let her off if he finds out!
Just as she was thinking, someone suddenly patted her on the shoulder, startling her.
Just as Lin was about to get angry, she looked up and saw Xie Min standing beside her.
Xie Min stared at the doorway and murmured, "Mother, don't be afraid, he won't find her so easily."
Even if he finds her, won't he be terrified by her appearance?
We don't know what Xie Yanzhi's panicked state will be like.
However, just thinking about it made Xie Min feel extremely excited!
