Xie Wanyu continued: "There is also a maid who heard Mrs. Ning say that the Marquis likes the new and dislikes the old. If such words were spread to other people's ears, I am afraid it would cause unnecessary misunderstandings."
Xiao Jing's eyes flashed slightly, "Don't get me wrong, I..."
"How could I misunderstand you? It must be Mrs. Ning who is not careful about what she says. However, it would be a good idea for the Marquis to go and have a look. If anything happens, he can handle it in time."
Xie Wanyu interrupted him in time.
The smile was shallow and gentle, as if what he just mentioned was just a trivial matter, but there was sarcasm and ridicule hidden deep in his eyes.
"Okay, I'll go take a look and come back."
Xiao Jing felt a little guilty towards her.
Knowing that she was doing this to help her restore her reputation, she felt a little guilty, so before leaving, she warned her one more time: "I see you are getting thinner and thinner, so eat more."
Xie Wanyu's smile grew wider and she responded briskly, "Yes, I understand."
Seeing this, Xiao Jing nodded, turned around and strode out of the room.
Looking at his retreating back, Xie Wanyu's lips curved into a sneer.
Not long after Xiao Jing left, Xie Wanyu put down her bowls and chopsticks, turned around and went to the rocking chair in the courtyard to bask in the sun.
Soon, Zhu Fang walked over with cheerful steps, unable to hide the smile on her lips.
"What makes you so happy?"
"My servant heard that the Marquis went to the West Courtyard and was kicked out not long after. She also heard that there were injuries on the Marquis' face, which should have been caused by Mrs. Ning."
Xie Wanyu pursed her lips and smiled. Only in this way could Xiao Jing know the tenderness of Li and Su.
The more irritable Xue Xuening became, the harder the relationship between the two became.
Without Xiao Jing's protection, her life in the mansion would probably be difficult.
"Why haven't you seen Pei Zhi recently?"
Since Xiao Jing came back, she had been planning and had not taken Xiao Tuo into consideration. Now that she had some free time, she thought of sending him to Qin Prince's Mansion to practice martial arts.
Zhu Fang was surprised and said, "Don't you know, madam?"
"What do you know?" Xie Wanyu frowned in confusion.
Seeing her reaction, Zhu Fang immediately said, "The Prince of Qin's Mansion sent someone to pick up the third young master, saying he was going to practice martial arts."
Xie Wanyu nodded with relief. She didn't expect Tai Shuqi to be so considerate.
He must also know that she has been very busy recently.
Tai'an Hall.
Mrs. Xiao saw the scratches on Xiao Jing's face and said angrily, "Were you going to her place again?"
"How many times have I told you not to associate with her again, but why don't you listen?"
Mrs. Xiao was already suspicious of Xue Xuening, especially after Xie Wanyu reminded her, she became even more suspicious of Xue Xuening and Prince Jin.
Since she and Xiao Jing did such a thing, there is no guarantee that they will not do the same shameless thing as others.
Her Xiao Jing is the proud son of heaven, how can he be tarnished!
Xiao Jing lowered her head and murmured, "Grandma, don't blame Xue Ning. Between me and Xue Ning... I was the one who failed her, I was the one who felt sorry for her."
After all, she is a woman whom she has loved deeply for many years. Even if she is dissatisfied in her heart, she will still defend her.
Mrs. Xiao's eyes widened and she shouted, "Jing'er!"
"Remember, you finally escaped death and returned to the capital. You can't be as willful as before! Otherwise, grandma will never forgive you even if she dies!"
Xiao Jing looked lonely, and after a long silence she said, "My grandson knows."
Mrs. Xiao nodded with satisfaction, "It's good if you understand my grandmother's difficulties."
Qi Ranyuan.
Xie Wanyu felt a sharp pain in her chest, causing her to take a breath and cough.
Zhufang heard the sound and came over, helped Xie Wanyu who was lying on the rocking chair with her eyes closed, and asked with concern, "Madam, are you okay?"
Xie Wanyu shook her head weakly and smiled at her, "Don't worry, I'm fine."
"But your hands and feet are cold, and there are beads of sweat on your forehead..." Zhu Fang frowned worriedly.
My wife has always been frail and sickly, and she will catch wind and cold even if she blows the wind.
Now she is sitting in the courtyard blowing the cold wind and sweating profusely. You can imagine how uncomfortable she is. She should not be allowed to rest outside.
Xie Wanyu smiled, "I'm not that weak."
"Madam, her body was not that weak before, but after falling into the water, her body became worse day by day." Zhu Fang pouted and said.
This is also the reason why she hates her aunt so much. If it weren't for her aunt's design, how could the lady have fallen into the water, and how could she have suffered such a disease.
"Am I not feeling well now?" Xie Wanyu smiled helplessly.
She has already died once and is not afraid of life and death. She is only afraid that after her death, no one can protect Xiao Tuo and no one in the Xie family can protect her.
"lady……"
"Okay."
Xie Wanyu raised her hand to stop her from continuing, "I'm a little hungry. Go get some pastries."
"yes."
Xie Wanyu was about to stand up when a figure appeared in front of her and supported her.
The disgusting smell made her instinctively avoid it, and she leaned over and said, "Master Marquis."
"Are you resisting me?" Xiao Jing found that Xie Wanyu in front of her was becoming more and more gentle.
The delicate and frail appearance is very different from Xue Xuening. One is charming, and the other is a real sick beauty.
"The Marquis is joking. We have made a three-year agreement. Now more than a year has passed. I hope the Marquis will remember what he said."
Xie Wanyu didn't want to mention this, but she really didn't want to see Xiao Jing's face.
Hearing this, Xiao Jing's eyes flashed slightly, "Do you think I am not worthy of you?"
"...Master Hou misunderstood, I didn't mean it that way." Xie Wanyu shook her head.
"Oh, that's not what you meant? Then what did you mean by what you just said?"
"The Marquis is a dragon and a phoenix among men. How dare I think so? I just hope that I can be on the same page as the Marquis."
After Xie Wanyu said these words, she felt slightly relieved, finally finding a reasonable excuse to get rid of Xiao Jing.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Jing suddenly stretched out his hand to hold her slender and white wrist veins, his eyes were deep and searching.
Sensing the abnormality, Xie Wanyu struggled to shake off his hand, but Xiao Jing held it tightly, "I don't like your appearance. You don't have to pretend to be docile and well-behaved."
Xie Wanyu felt angry, but she still suppressed it.
"Master Hou misunderstood, I just don't feel comfortable, please let go, Master Hou."
Not only did Xiao Jing never let go, but she squeezed Xie Wanyu even harder.
The pads of his fingers were rough and hot, transmitted to his skin through the thin fabric.
Xie Wanyu endured the severe pain without showing any signs of timidity, "Master Marquis, please respect yourself!"
Xiao Jing slowly narrowed her eyes, stared at Xie Wanyu for a long time, and finally moved her hand to her neck.
"You...what are you going to do?" Feeling the hot temperature in Xiao Jing's palm, Xie Wanyu cried out in horror.
Xiao Jing said nothing, but slowly closed her hands, as if she wanted to strangle her to death.
Xie Wanyu's eyes widened, her pupils shrank, and she pushed Xiao Jing with all her strength.
Xiao Jing, however, remained motionless, with viciousness flashing across his eyes.
Xie Wanyu was horrified. The tragic scene before her death in her previous life appeared in her mind, and her eyes were filled with murderous intent.
The hand on his side was clenched into a fist, and he wanted to pull out the golden hairpin on his head and stab it into his neck.
Finally, he controlled himself and slowly let go.
Xiao Jing suddenly let go of her hand and walked aside, with a slight smile on her lips, "I will stay overnight in Qiran Courtyard today."
