Quick Wear: After I captured the hero, I ran away with the ball

Chapter 106 The Substitute Bride Runs Away with the Baby (4)

The wife of the Marquis sat in the main seat, not even giving Aunt Lan a glance. She looked Chi Yue up and down carefully and said slowly: "You are Chi Mingzhu. Does the general's mansion not even know how to educate its daughter now?"

Chi Yue had just arrived and was not clear about the situation. She thought this was Xie Yian's mother and wanted to swallow her anger for his sake. Just as she was about to salute, Xie Yian stopped her.

Xie Yian pursed his lips and coughed a few times, as if a gust of wind could blow him away. He stared at the Marquis's wife and said, "She is my wife, and it is not the turn of Aunt Shen to teach her the rules."

Seeing that Xie Yian was a little angry, the Marquis hurried out to smooth things over. He smiled awkwardly and said, "Yian, your mother is doing this for your own good."

Xie Yian did not show him any mercy. He looked at Madam Shen, who was trying to calm herself down, with a mocking tone, "Mother, does she deserve it?"

"Xie Yian, are you dissatisfied with me?" The Marquis was also angry with him. He had been considerate of his health and tolerated him in everything in the mansion, but he was getting more and more demanding. Now he looks down on Madam Shen, so he will not take him seriously in the future.

Xie Yian also regained his senses at this time, looked at Madam Shen and said: "Yian was overstepping his authority, I hope Madam Shen will not blame me."

Xie Yian apologized verbally, but there was not even a hint of apology in his tone.

Mrs. Shen was tearing her handkerchief to pieces. She forced a smile and said, "It's okay. Yi'an just misses his mother too much. And I can't compare with my sister."

Mrs. Shen was secretly wiping away her tears as she spoke. Xie Yian picked on her pain, and she would not let him have an easy time.

When the Marquis saw her crying, he immediately felt distressed and consoled her, saying, "Let's end today's matter here. Let Yi'an's wife serve tea first."

Chi Yue had heard this and had a general understanding of the situation in the mansion. When she heard the Marquis mention her, she immediately picked up the teacup brought by the maid and respectfully offered it to him, "Dad, please have some tea."

The Marquis did not make things difficult for her, so Chi Yue breathed a sigh of relief. She brought another cup of tea to Madam Shen, but she didn't know how to address her, so she gave Xie Yian a look for help.

"Aunt Shen." Xie Yian called out to Madam Shen, who had not received tea for a long time, reminding her of her identity. Madam Shen's back teeth were about to break. Under the gaze of a group of people, she reached out and took the tea from Chi Yue's hand.

"Oh!" Mrs. Shen deliberately did not take the tea. She had someone prepare a cup of boiling hot tea for Chi Yue today. If she was scalded by the tea, she would at least lose a layer of skin.

Chi Yue had read too many novels about domestic intrigues, so the moment she picked up the tea, she knew about Mrs. Shen's little trick. She could have easily avoided it, but thinking of Xie Yian, Chi Yue had to catch the scalding hot tea.

In an instant, Chi Yue's hands turned visibly red. She suppressed the instinct to scream and stood aside obediently.

Xie Yian immediately rushed to her side and held up her swollen hand. He suppressed his anger and looked at her with heartache.

Her eyes immediately filled with tears, and she said aggrievedly: "It doesn't matter if Aunt Shen doesn't like it. As long as Aunt Shen is happy and doesn't embarrass the prince, you can treat me any way you want."

Her words immediately pushed Mrs. Shen to the forefront.

"I'll take her to treat her wound first. Madam Shen, please take care of yourself." After saying this, Xie Yian took Chi Yue to find a doctor. Xie Wangjin also followed them out anxiously.

Now even the Marquis, who always favored Madam Shen, looked at her with some suspicion. Madam Shen was speechless. She did not expect Chi Yue to not even hide. She explained anxiously: "Marquis, I did not mean that."

Xie Yian brought Chi Yue back to Jiyuezhai. Qiuyun immediately brought a doctor over to apply medicine to Chi Yue. Chi Yue screamed in pain, but Xie Yian just stared at her without saying a word.

"Ma'am, your burns are quite serious. Remember not to touch water. Change the medicine every three days." The doctor advised earnestly.

"Okay, you all can go down. I want to talk to Madam alone about something." It was the first time that Xie Yian called her Madam and he coughed lightly to hide his embarrassment.

"Brother, you talk to sister-in-law, we will go down first." Xie Wangjin hurriedly took the servants and the doctor downstairs. This was the first time that his brother was so nervous about a woman. It seemed that he would be able to hold the baby soon.

After everyone left, Chi Yue played cowardly again under Xie Yian's scrutiny. She lowered her head and dared not look him in the eye. She no longer had the courage she had just now.

Xie Yian was so angry when he saw her like this. Wasn't she very powerful just now? She didn't even try to dodge such hot water. Is she a fool?

"Does it still hurt?" As soon as Xie Yian opened his mouth, all his questions and accusations turned into concern. He looked at Chi Yue's thin appearance and couldn't even say a harsh word. He sighed helplessly.

Chi Yue originally thought it was okay, but the moment she heard his concern, tears fell uncontrollably drop by drop. She nodded and said aggrievedly, "It hurts."

As she spoke, she stretched out her hand wrapped like a rice dumpling in front of Xie Yian. Xie Yian bent down and blew gently on her hand, imitating the way his mother comforted him when he was sick as a child.

"Why don't you hide away today?"

"If I hide away, what if she causes trouble to you again?" Chi Yue's face showed the innocence of a child. She just didn't want to implicate the only person in the world who was good to her.

"You can't do anything to me. If you encounter this kind of thing again in the future, just protect yourself. Leave the rest to me." Xie Yian looked at her wrist that could be held in one hand, and felt distressed. She was not having a good life herself, and she was still thinking about him.

Chi Yue nodded obediently. He could feel that Xie Yian was in a bad mood, so he consoled him, "This little injury is nothing to me, it will heal soon. I used to do this often at home..."

Chi Yue seemed to suddenly realize that she seemed to have let the cat out of the bag, and immediately covered her mouth with her hands and shook her head.

Seeing her like this, Xie Yian also became suspicious and asked, "Have you often suffered injuries like this in the past?"

Chi Yue shook her head and refused to reveal anything further: "No, I just saw a maid being injured like this, and she recovered quickly. I'm sure I will be able to recover quickly too, don't worry."

There was no way her clumsy words could fool Xie Yian. He immediately pulled her arm and lifted her sleeve despite her resistance.

The thin arm was covered with bruises, whip marks and nail marks intertwined, without a single piece of good flesh. Chi Yue seemed afraid of exposing the wound, and took advantage of Xie Yian's distraction to pull his arm back.
