There were also murmurs and discussions outside, as if they were very curious about what was going on inside.
Yu Xian felt that she had let down the master.
She was already in poor health, and she was even cursed for no reason! âYouâre like a bitter old woman. I really hate you. I know that your Zhou family is in trouble, thatâs why Iâm not willing to go back.â Yu Xian said in annoyance, âGet lost quickly. Donât let me see you, okay?!â
She was really afraid that she could not hold it in anymore and would start hitting her!
âCousin, youâre going too far!â Zhou Sijin suddenly stood up and sobbed. She held her skirt and ran out. After running for a few steps, she turned back. âYou came to the capital alone, and my family was kind enough to take you in. Itâs fine if youâre not grateful, but youâve insulted me many times. When I go back, Iâll definitely tell grandmother that itâs fine if you donât go by the family rules, and you still associate with people who are indecent!â
With that, she ran off.
âDoes she think that I donât know what sheâs trying to say?â Yu Xian pointed outside, sighed, and shook her head.
She insisted on going outside and shouted.
Even if she cried, it was fake. How would she be afraid of such a threat?
Even if what Zhou Sijin said was true, she, Yu Xian, was only an orphan. Her parents were no longer around, so what was there to be afraid of? She only gave face to the Zhou family because her aunt was the first madam of the Zhou family. Otherwise, she would ignore them!
Xie Qiao looked at Yu Xian sympathetically.
She tidied up her clothes and was ready to leave.
However, before she stood up, someone barged in from outside.
Xie Qiao saw Zhao Xuanjing. He had a cold face, he looked serious and scary. Then, Xie Pinggang also came. He looked menacing and scary. Yu Xianâs cousin, Zhou Weizong, also came, his expression looked much more innocent.
âWhy are you all here?â Xie Qiao was a little shocked. âThe news spread a little too fastâ¦â
âI sent someone to look for Brother Xie,â Yu Xian quickly claimed the credit. âI was really scared by Masterâs situation just now. I donât know anyone else, so I asked Brother Xie to make the decision.â
To put it more bluntlyâ¦
It meant that if master died on the way, she could ask Xie Pinggang to come over and help dispose of the body.
Of course, she would not say that out loud.
âMaster, are you okay? The messenger said that you were lying on the street, unconscious, as if you were going to dieâ¦â Xie Pinggang heaved a sigh of relief.
When he heard that, he wanted to come immediately, but thinking that master was His Highnessâ senior sister, he quickly went to look for His Highness, so he was delayed significantly on the way.
Zhao Xuanjingâs face was gloomy, and he did not say anything. For some reason, Xie Qiao was a little flustered.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
He was angry?
Why was he angry?
âItâs just a tiny problem. Itâll be fine in the blink of an eyeâ¦â Xie Qiaoâs voice was gentle, and she tried her best not to provoke him.
However, to Zhao Xuanjing, what she said was looking for trouble.
With a cold face, he restrained his emotions and wanted to pack Xie Qiao up and carry her away, but when he saw the gray thing on her chin, he stopped and held it in. âSenior Sister didnât have a good rest last night?â
Xie Qiao buried her head slightly and looked at Xie Pinggang as if she was asking for help.
âMaster, why are you looking at me? I didnât stay with you yesterday!â Xie Pinggang replied straightforwardly. âI canât help you fool anyone as Iâm not a woman!â
Xie Qiao rolled her eyes at him.
âTeacher is old, and he cares about Senior Sister the most. If anything happens to you, what will he do? You have a teacher to show respect to and a niece like Young Lady Xie to take care of, yet you still act so willfully. I think you are not seeking to survive but seeking death!â Zhao Xuanjing gritted his teeth. He was a little angry and a little heartbroken, but he could not bear to scold her. He could only lower his voice and suppress his anger.
