Seeing the confusion in Bizhi's eyes, Xie Ruzhuo did not explain, but said, "I don't need these two things, you can take them back."
But Bizhi thought of something else, thinking that Xie Ruzhuo had seen it at the eldest lady's place, so she didn't want it. She complained in her heart that Xie Ruzhuo was ignorant of good people, but she was also glad that her wife's tonic did not fall into the hands of others, so she took it and said, "Okay, then I will listen to you and take this medicine back. Fourth Miss, please rest for a while. Well, slave, I will go back first."
Xie Ruzhuo nodded, watched Bizhi go out, and then said, "Qianbi, put these tonics away."
Qian Bi responded, and saw Qing Tao rushing forward first, with greed in her eyes, but she said, "It's better for me to come. The eldest lady sent these medicinal materials for free. Maybe she has some peace of mind. I can't do it for you." We need to check it carefully, lest she take the opportunity to harm the lady!"
Xie Ruzhuo paused again as he returned to his room, a look of disgust flashing in his eyes. In the previous life, it was Qing Tao who repeatedly provoked her, which made her relationship with Mr. Qiao worsen! This slave has done a lot of deceiving his superiors!
"Qingtao, who did you hear these words from?"
Xie Ruzhuo made up his mind to punish her, so he simply turned around and sat on the golden nanmu chair in front of the hall, picked up the tea next to him, took a sip, and asked.
Qing Tao turned her back to Xie Ruzhuo and had no idea what she was thinking at the moment. When she heard Xie Ruzhuo's questions, Qing Tao thought it was her chance to show off her performance. She sniffed the medicinal materials in her hand passionately and said, "Girl at home. Everyone says that, miss, think about it, who does the eldest lady hate the most after she comes in? Naturally, it is the three eldest sons and daughters. In this way, her son and daughter, although they are also She is a legitimate daughter, but she has taken over the daughter of a step-mother! Can she be willing to do so?"
Xie Ruzhuo's eyes were full of coldness. Qingtao's words must have been taught by someone behind her back. Otherwise, what would she, an illiterate girl, know? Thinking of this, Xie Ruzhuo became angry, but held back his anger and said, "Go on, what else?"
After hearing this, Qingtao stopped even sorting out the medicinal materials. She put away the greed in her eyes and looked at Xie Ruzhuo with a loyal look on her face, "Miss, if you don't say anything else, just talk about the Madam delivering the medicinal materials today? She Why send it? Isn’t it because you have made a contribution? Saving the prince, what a great contribution. She will move forward when good things happen, and hide further than anyone else when bad things happen. It is obvious that she is a little girl. Where is the human heart!”
"My lady, I see that you are even more of a villain!"
There was a crisp sound of porcelain breaking, and Qingtao was immediately startled. Tea splashed all over Qingtao, and her skirt was covered with green tea leaves.
Xie Ruzhuo stood up, pointed at Qing Tao, and said angrily, "On weekdays, if it weren't for the instigation of you group of unscrupulous slaves, how could I be separated from my mother? She is said to be a villain, but I think you are the most treacherous villains! You're quite good at talking nonsense, why don't you guys do anything serious?"
Nanny Li, the wet nurse, heard the commotion inside and hurried in, but happened to hear Xie Ruzhuo's words. She was stunned, and saw Xie Ruzhuo's chest rising and falling, with anger on his face. He hurriedly walked to her side and calmed her down, "Good lady, whoever offends you can just drag him out and beat him up. Why bother?" I’m so angry with myself!”
Xie Ruzhuo sat down again with Nanny Li's comforting hand, pointed at Qing Tao, who was still in a dazed state, and said, "Do you know you are wrong?"
Qingtao looked confused. She didn't know what she had said to make Xie Ruzhuo so angry. However, it was obvious that she had angered her master. Therefore, Qingtao just knelt and kowtowed, saying, "This slave is wrong." , but this servant is also loyal to you..."
Before she could finish her sentence, Xie Ruzhuo's voice suddenly sounded, "You are so loyal to me! Get out of here and kneel in the yard. I don't know what is wrong. Don't get up!"
Xie Ruzhuo's words were filled with anger, and just one sentence made Qingtao break into a cold sweat.
Qing Tao suddenly raised her head, and after seeing the rage in Xie Ruzhuo's eyes, she didn't dare to speak anymore and cowardly replied, "Yes." Then she retreated as if running away.
Before leaving the house, Xie Ruzhuo could only listen and said, "Qianbi, keep an eye on her. If she doesn't kneel honestly, send her to the Criminal Training Academy!"
Qingtao was about to go out, but suddenly staggered. The Criminal Academy is a place where servants in the mansion are sent if they make a big mistake!
Hearing this, Bi looked at Xie Ruzhuo doubtfully, and after meeting Xie Ruzhuo's meaningful gaze, she lowered her head and said respectfully, "Yes." Her young lady seemed to have become different after she came back from the hunting ground.
However, when her own lady did this, Qian Bi felt very happy. She had long disliked Qingtao. With an aunt in the house to support her, she could be domineering and domineering on weekdays, and she would go around making trouble for her master! Being punished today is really retribution!
Seeing that the two girls had retreated, Grandma Li coaxed, "Good lady, don't be angry. Why bother?"
Nanny Li is Xie Ruzhuo's nanny, and was brought by her biological mother Jiang Muyan from her natal family. She has protected Xie Ruzhuo since he was a child. In the previous life, Grandma Li was tortured to death by Shen Jingci because of Xie Ruzhuo!
The past events were still vivid in his mind, and Xie Ruzhuo couldn't control his emotions for a while, and even his eyes became bloodshot. Hearing Nanny Li's words at this time, Xie Ruzhuo had just regained some of his consciousness. When he looked back at Nanny Li, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty on his face, "Nanny, I was too confused before and listened to them. If so, I..."
Aunt Li understood it before she finished speaking. Although she was surprised by Xie Ruzhuo's current change, she may have had tears in her eyes after hearing these words. She hugged her and comforted her softly, "Miss, people have to go through things to grow up." Big one. Mom knows that you suffered in the hunting ground and are still injured. I'll help you go to sleep for a while, okay?"
Xie Ruzhuo nodded obediently and let Nanny Li help her to the bed in the back room. She lay down as instructed and closed her eyes.
Aunt Li's soft voice sounded, humming an unknown song, and her slightly rough fingers patted her hand, which made Xie Ruzhuo's heart calm down instantly.
Yes, she finally escaped that nightmare, and now, everything starts again!
She slept peacefully this time, and when she woke up, it was already dusk.
The carved window was not closed, and through the hanging layer of silk gauze, one could clearly see the red clouds on the horizon.
Xie Ruzhuo blinked slightly and felt something moving next to him.
That's a hand.
The small fists were clenched together, like a freshly steamed bun, white and fat. And its owner is a four-year-old baby.
The moment Milkman saw Xie Ruzhuo waking up, he immediately slid out of bed with a squeaking sound, but because he had been lying down for so long, he actually sat upright on the ground.
"Ouch."
The little baby yelled subconsciously, but then he hurriedly covered his mouth with his chubby hands and looked at Xie Ruzhuo cautiously.
There is innocence in the amber-like eyes that does not understand the world, and the stars are shining with light. This child is none other than her half-brother, Qiao's child - Xie Huailin.
Seeing Xie Huailin like this, Xie Ruzhuo's heart suddenly hurt.
She would never forget that when she was locked up in that cold and damp prison, this brother, who had always been disliked by her, managed to steal the key and try to rescue her. However, this is a trap set by that woman Shen Jingci, just to drag the Xie family into trouble!
When she watched Xie Huailin, who was only in his early teens, being beaten with salt water in front of her until his blood dripped, but she was still angry and comforted herself, "Fourth sister, please don't cry, Yong'an won't hurt." Xie Ruzhuo finally couldn't bear it anymore. Unable to stop it, for the first time in front of Shen Jingci, I collapsed and screamed!
Yong'an, that's Xie Huailin's small name.
"Yong'an..." Xie Ruzhuo's nose felt sour, looking at Xie Huailin who was getting up from the ground, he suddenly pulled him over and hugged him in his arms.
Xie Huailin was still full of milk in her arms, and her big bright eyes looked at Xie Ruzhuo doubtfully, but also with a bit of excitement. This is the first time that the fourth sister hugs herself!
"Fourth sister, mother said you were injured. Yongan came and gave you a blow. Does it hurt?"
Xie Ruzhuo's hug made him extremely uncomfortable, even a little stuffy, but the warm breath belonging to the fourth sister made him a little greedy, and he was reluctant to move.
After hearing Xie Huailin's words, Xie Ruzhuo reacted, released Xie Huailin, looked around, and asked, "Does it hurt from the fall?"
"It doesn't hurt, hehe." Xie Huailin smiled with crooked eyes, his chubby hands still holding on to Xie Ruzhuo's skirt, as if he was flattered by Xie Ruzhuo's good temper.
Xie Ruzhuo touched his head, placed Xie Huailin on the ground, and called out again, "Qianbi."
Qian Bi walked in from outside the door. When she saw Xie Huailin standing beside her bed, she exclaimed, "When did the fourth young master sneak in? How come you didn't know this?"
"I told you, mother said that my sister is injured, I came to take a look." As he said that, Xie Huailin seemed to have thought of something, and said hurriedly, "Fourth sister, I will be good, can you not rush?" Shall I leave?"
Qianbi knew that Xie Ruzhuo had always disliked the young master born to her stepmother. When she heard Xie Huailin's words, she was afraid that Xie Ruzhuo would say something unpleasant, so she hurriedly said, "Fourth master, our lady is not driving you away, it's just that she I'm injured and need to rest. The fourth young master will go back first and come back when the young lady recovers, okay?"
"I won't speak loudly!" Xie Huailin said, covering his mouth with his soft little claws, as if silent, and looked at Xie Ruzhuo pitifully with his eyes.
Xie Ruzhuo rubbed his head, looked at Qianbi and said, "Qianbi, go see if the eight-treasure gold silk cake made in the small kitchen is ready. If it is ready, bring it to the fourth young master to eat, as well as the ones from the past few days. Bring the fruit tea I brewed too."
While talking, Xie Ruzhuo got out of bed, took Xie Huailin's hand, and said softly, "Come on, let's play here."
Qianbi was a little surprised by her attitude. Seeing the two siblings looking happy, she immediately responded "Yes" with a smile on her face, turned around and walked out.
"Fourth sister, my mother hired a husband for me a few days ago, but I don't like him at all. He is so cruel and even hit the palm of my hand!" Xie Huailin said, stretching out her white and tender little hand in front of Xie Ruzhuo , pouting and accusing the Master of his crimes.
