"Cold-blooded, bring me my battle robe," Xuan Mingye said sternly.
"Owner!"
Both Leng Mo and Leng Xue knelt on the ground. With their master's physique, let alone facing Sai Miaoshou, they would probably be injured again even if they were to deal with them.
"Shut up, Leng Mo, go back and keep an eye on You Xue, try to buy some time." Xuan Mingye roared, his mind clear as he began to devise a way to deal with Sai Miaoshou.
Leng Mo could only obediently accept the order and retreat, while Leng Xue pondered the few pills that Master Bu Yu had left for his master. Those pills could temporarily boost one's power, but the side effects after taking them were also severe. Did his master want...?
That's right, this was Xuan Mingye's only choice; otherwise, Qian Youxue would surely die!
...
When Qian Youxue arrived at the gate of her grandmother's courtyard, Mei'er rushed in to report, only to find that she was nowhere to be seen.
However, Qian Youxue was determined and knelt directly at the entrance of the courtyard.
Helpless, Mei'er could only go in again to report. When the old lady heard that Qian Youxue was kneeling at the door, her eyes reddened with sadness.
"If you don't see the young lady, she probably won't leave now that she's like this," Granny Chen advised from the side. She had long noticed the change in the young lady and was happy for her.
The old lady couldn't help but wonder if Youxue's previous seemingly foolish behavior was just an act to protect herself.
All these years have truly been tough on Youxue. Living in such a corrupt and unfortunate family, and having a heartless mother like Madam Su, she's had the worst luck imaginable.
"Go ahead! Let her wait in the outer room. Granny Chen, help me dress up before she goes out. That girl has sharp eyes!" She shook her head helplessly and sat up with difficulty.
The two women accepted the order, and Mei'er went out to invite Qian Youxue in. Granny Chen then helped the old lady wash and dress up, making sure her pale face was concealed.
Qian Youxue sat in the hall, looking uneasily toward the door of the inner room. Mei'er brought her favorite pastries to her: "Grandma Chen originally asked that they be sent to you later. Please try them and see if you like them."
Qian Youxue absentmindedly picked up a piece and put it in her mouth. The pastry was very sweet, but her heart was bitter, even more bitter than eating bitter herbs.
"Miss, the old lady isn't feeling well, so please don't make her anxious," Mei whispered to the young lady.
"Youxue understands, thank you for your trouble, Sister Mei'er." Qian Youxue gave Mei'er a grateful smile, thankful that the maids in front of her grandmother were all very loyal and considerate.
Hearing footsteps approaching, Mei'er obediently stepped aside and watched as Granny Chen helped the old lady sit down, then poured her a cup of hot tea.
"Youxue greets her grandmother!" Qian Youxue stood up and bowed to her grandmother, looking her up and down before her gaze settled on her grandmother's face.
The old lady had applied a thin layer of rouge to her face, barely noticeable unless you looked closely. However, seeing Youxue's earnest gaze, she still raised her hand with some concern: "Silly girl, you haven't fully recovered yourself, why did you come here? Sit down quickly, let your grandmother see how you're doing?"
“Grandmother!” Qian Youxue suddenly knelt down.
The old lady felt a pang in her heart, knowing that Youxue must have something to say to her. She looked up and waved to Mei'er, "You can go down now. Close the door and watch the entrance so no one comes in."
