Views:

Xie Ruzhuo stayed in the palace to recuperate for five days. Under the doctor's advice, she could return to Xie's family to recuperate. So, she returned to Xie's family with a lot of precious supplements and jewelry gifted by Emperor Jing.

Xie Ruzhuo was lying on the carriage covered with soft brocade. With the sound of the wheels turning, she couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

She thought of her last life, when she was imprisoned by Xiao Junhan, and Shen Jingci came to torture her, telling her that her Xie family was ransacked, and the Xie family plaque with a letter written by the founding emperor Gaozu was removed. When she came down, she went crazy and wanted to go back to Xie's family and be with her relatives, but in the end she was unable to do so.

Now, she is about to return to the Xie family, but her heart cannot help but feel timid. It is she, a sinner, who has brought the Xie family to such a situation. She is an unfilial daughter and deserves everything.

Qian Bi looked at Xie Ruzhuo's moist eyes, and then asked worriedly: "Miss, are you feeling uncomfortable from the wound? How about I ask the carriage to slow down?"

When Xie Ruzhuo heard Qian Bi's words, she shook her head and said, "How long until we get home?"

Qianbi heard Xie Ruzhuo's words, pushed the car window slightly, looked outside through the gap between her fingers, and then said to Xie Ruzhuo: "Miss, I estimate that we still have half an hour before we enter the city."

Xie Ruzhuo heard Qian Bi's words, nodded, closed her eyes, concealing her nervousness at this time, and said to Qian Bi: "I'll take a moment, remember to call me when I'm here!"

"Yes, Miss!" Qianbi responded respectfully after hearing Xie Ruzhuo's words.

The Xie family is one of the best families in the capital. The Xie family's house is located in the inner city of the capital. All the powerful families live here. The Xie family's house was built by a powerful official in the previous dynasty for his retirement in his later years. During the chaos, this man The powerful ministers fled with their family members, and the house was left vacant. When Emperor Gaozu was taking over the world, the Xie family assisted Emperor Gaozu in conquering the world, so Emperor Gaozu gave this house to the Xie family.

And the scenery of this house is famous in the capital, which also demonstrates the status of the Xie family in the capital, and even the entire government and the public.

"Miss, we're home!" Qian Bi whispered in Xie Ruzhuo's ear.

When Xie Ruzhuo heard Qian Bi's voice, he opened his eyes, stretched out his snow-white arms, and gently opened the window.

Qian Bi was frightened by Xie Ruzhuo's bold move and exclaimed: "Miss, please close the window quickly, it's not good to be seen."

"Shut up!" Xie Ruzhuo spat out in a cold voice.

When Qian Bi heard Xie Ruzhuo's reprimand, she felt helpless. She looked outside with worried eyes. When she saw that no outsiders were looking at them, she breathed a sigh of relief. The young lady was too tolerant!

Xie Ruzhuo didn't know the helplessness of the maid next to her. At this time, she cast her eyes on the two characters Xie Zhai written by Emperor Gaozu on the door of Xie's house. She looked at it for a long time, and her emotions were a little complicated.

When Qian Bi on the side was about to close the window in a hurry, Xie Ruzhuo took back his hand, closed his eyes, and said in a faint voice: "Go in!"

When Qian Bi heard Xie Ruzhuo's words, she breathed a heavy sigh of relief, immediately stepped forward to close the window, and signaled the groom to continue walking.

The carriage slowly entered Xie's house and stopped under the hanging flower door in less than a cup of tea.

Xie Ruzhuo hadn't gotten out of the car yet when he heard anxious voices coming from outside, "Is it Miss Fourth?"

"Yes, madam!" The groom got out of the car and stood aside respectfully.

Xie Ruzhuo opened her eyes, and the person outside was none other than her stepmother, Mrs. Qiao.

Xie Ruzhuo hadn't straightened up yet and asked Qianbi to help her get out of the carriage. The carriage door was pushed open and Qiao stood underneath with tears in her eyes. She looked at Xie Ruzhuo who was extremely weak in the carriage. She looked at Xie Ruzhuo worriedly and felt comfortable. He took a breath and said, "It'll be good to come back, it'll be good to come back!"

Xie Ruzhuo saw the concern on Mrs. Qiao's face that could not be concealed, but her concern was not fake. Xie Ruzhuo raised a weak smile at the corner of his mouth and said to Mrs. Qiao in front of him: "Women make you worry, mother!"
