Chapter 501 - 501 An Incident (1)
501 An Incident (1)
After Shen Yijia could not help but laugh, Brother Hao was completely dispirited. No matter how she comforted him, it was useless.
Shen Yijia could only hand over the heavy responsibility of coaxing him to Sister Huan.
Although Sister Huan and Brother Hao’s personalities had also changed as they grew older, the natural connection between twins could not be changed.
After a while, the two of them gathered together and discussed Brother Hao’s story.
Most of it was Brother Hao talking. Sister Huan listened with relish and occasionally added a few words.
Shen Yijia rubbed her chin. Perhaps every child had a burly hero living in their hearts?
But would anyone really look like that?
In the noodle shop, Feng Manman looked at the small porcelain box in front of her in a daze.
“Is Brother Xiao getting married?” she thought.
That’s right. In order to prevent Feng Manman from having thoughts that she shouldn’t have, Xiao Ruoshui didn’t say that Xiao Qirui wanted to break off the engagement and marry her, but he was beaten up by General Xiao.
She only said that Xiao Qirui was about to get married. Because men and women were wary of each other, she would be in charge of delivering medicine to her in the future.
“If you encounter any difficulties in the future, come and look for me directly. Don’t look for my brother. Miss Feng should know to avoid arousing suspicion, right?” Xiao Ruoshui said indifferently.
Feng Man’s eyes instantly turned red. “I didn’t…”
“Yes, I know. You didn’t look for my brother. My brother was worried about you because he felt guilty, so you have to apply this medicine properly. When your face recovers, you can get married and have children normally. That way, my brother won’t have to worry about you anymore.”
Xiao Ruoshui felt like the vicious mother-in-law in the book, but she had no choice. She couldn’t let this woman ruin her brother.
There were many ways to repay kindness. It didn’t necessarily have to involve her brother’s life.
“I understand. Please help me tell Brother Xiao that he doesn’t have to blame himself. I did everything willingly. Even if my face can’t be cured, it doesn’t matter.” Feng Man said with a sobbing tone.
Xiao Ruoshui was speechless.
She really did not like people who cried like this. They made it seem like she had bullied someone. Besides, she had given them medicine, not poison.
However, thinking that this person was Xiao Qirui’s savior, Xiao Ruoshui resisted the urge to roll her eyes. She controlled her temper and said, “Don’t worry, this medicine can definitely help you remove the scars on your face.”
Xiao Ruoshui believed in Shen Yijia. Even Shen Yijia praised Mo Yuan’s medical skills. Xiao Ruoshui naturally believed in the ointment made by Mo Yuan.
Feng Manman pressed the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief and bowed to Xiao Ruoshui. “Thank you.”
Xiao Ruoshui did not say anything else. She took out a money bag and placed it on the table. She turned around and left the noodle shop.
She was still in the rented carriage and did not bring a maidservant out.
Apart from the four of them and the people around Xiao Qirui, even Aunt Qiao and her daughter did not know the details. Everyone in the residence only guessed that he had made a mistake in the army.
Therefore, this matter was temporarily covered up.
The carriage had just turned out of the alley when it almost collided with another carriage that was about to turn. Xiao Ruoshui’s body swayed and she frowned as she lifted the curtain. Coincidentally, the curtain of the carriage opposite was also lifted.
It was a woman about her age.
Their eyes met. The woman smiled politely at her. Xiao Ruoshui rolled her eyes and lowered the curtain.
It was unknown if she had not looked at the almanac when she went out today, but when the carriage turned into Chang’an Avenue, it almost collided with a horse again.
This time, it was because the other party’s horse was too fast that the coachman pulled the reins in time to prevent a car accident.
Xiao Ruoshui was in trouble. She lost her balance and hit her head on the carriage, causing her to gasp in pain.
She was furious. She lifted the curtain and was about to curse, but the other party did not seem to realize it at all. When Xiao Ruoshui stuck her head out, she only saw the back of a man from afar.
“Are you in a hurry to reincarnate?” Xiao Ruoshui gritted her teeth and cursed softly.
In fact, it was about the same as reincarnation. The man rode quickly into Xuanwu Street and finally stopped at the Grand Tutor’s residence.
“I’m from the ancestral residence. I need to see you urgently.” The man was in a sorry state and his face was covered in sweat. Without waiting for the gatekeeper to ask, he reported his identity.
When the gatekeeper heard this, he quickly led her in.
Grand Tutor Zhao had already instructed him to bring the people from the ancestral residence to see him immediately.
