After swallowing my anger and taking the blame, I became the lucky little queen

With a "crack", the sound of porcelain breaking is crisp and pleasant.

Li Yaoyuan was startled and looked back, seeing a big hand lying between her and Wang Yuejiao.

The veins on the back of his rough hands bulged out, his wheat-colored skin was hot and purple, and was still steaming.

She was extremely shocked and stared at Xiao Jianting with wide eyes.

He frowned in pain but didn't make a sound.

Several people came up, including Xiao Yunzheng and Nian Susu.

One of them pulled Li Yaoyuan back in a protective posture, while the other nervously protected Xiao Jianting behind him and glared at Wang Yuejiao angrily.

Xiao Jianting pressed Xiao Yunzheng's arm and shook his head at her.

It was only the second day since the Xiao family returned to Beijing. If they had a conflict with the aristocratic families in Beijing at this time, they would inevitably be accused of being arrogant and looking down on others. The best way was to make a big thing small and a small thing nothing.

"It's a small matter, don't panic." Xiao Jianting shook the tea off his sleeves, hid his swollen hands, and smiled at Wang Yuejiao, "I know Miss Wang did it unintentionally, don't worry about it, it's just a minor injury for me."

Wang Yuejiao smiled guiltily and couldn't say anything.

"What do you mean by unintentional mistake? I think she did it on purpose." Nian Susu complained sarcastically.

Everyone saw with their own eyes that Wang Yuejiao did deliberately bump into Li Yaoyuan, and was blocked by Xiao Jianting. However, they did not dare to agree with her because Xiao Jianting obviously wanted to cover up the matter as soon as possible.

After hearing this, Xiao Yunzheng felt very happy.

The eldest brother didn't let her make a big deal out of it, and no one else dared to say anything. Only Nian Susu spoke out what was in her heart.

She wished Nian Su Su would say a few more words.

But Nian Susu had no intention of speaking again. She held Li Yaoyuan's hand and looked at it again and again, making sure that there was no injury before she felt relieved.

Li Yaoyuan already understood what was going on. She looked at the broken porcelain pieces on the ground, then raised her eyes to look at Xiao Jianting with a little more gratitude in her eyes.

If he hadn't intervened, the tea would have spilled on her.

Xiao Jianting nodded at her.

The two understood each other.

Wang Yuejiao stepped forward to apologize at the right time: "I'm sorry, Master Xiao, I was thinking about something just now and didn't see clearly. I burned you. I didn't mean to do it. Please forgive me."

Xiao Jianting: "It's okay, it's just a minor injury. I'll ask the doctor to prescribe some medicine for it. It will be healed in less than three days."

Originally, this little episode should have ended here, but the loud noise attracted General Xiao and Qin Junyu from the men's seats.

The other men couldn't cross the screen, so they could only prick up their ears and listen to the movements on the other side.

As soon as General Xiao arrived, the hall immediately became quiet. He had an aura of dominance that intimidated everyone, and everyone's eyes became cautious.

"What's going on?" he asked in a low, rough voice.

Qin Junyu's gaze fell on Nian Susu.

She supported Li Yaoyuan weakly, her face was unhappy, and there were a few broken porcelain pieces at her feet, but it seemed that she was not the protagonist.

He felt a little relieved.

Xiao Yunzheng's eyes had been following him, so she naturally knew who he was looking at, and she felt jealous.

Nian Susu raised her eyes and happened to meet his gaze. They stared at each other for a few seconds and then looked away tacitly.

The three of them concealed their feelings extremely well, and no one noticed the subtle emotions spreading among them.

Xiao Jianting told the story again, and finally lowered his voice to remind him: "Father, everyone who comes is a guest. Miss Wang did not do it on purpose. If it gets out, people will definitely say that our Xiao family bullies others. A tall tree attracts the wind. We are now at the cusp of the storm, so it is better to be careful."

General Xiao had made great military achievements, but he was not as flexible as his elder son in dealing with people. Xiao Yunzheng, on the other hand, took after his father and was straightforward.

When dealing with relationships with various families, General Xiao chose to listen to Xiao Jianting most of the time, and this time was no exception.

He laughed several times. "I thought it was a big deal! It turns out it was just a burn."

He patted Xiao Jianting on the shoulder and said, "My boy has seen many poisonous arrows and sharp blades. A mere cup of tea is not worth his attention. As long as the girls are okay, it's fine!"

The girls smiled.

Even a man as strong as steel has a body made of flesh. When the boiling hot tea was poured on him, they saw with their own eyes that the back of Xiao Jianting's hand immediately turned red. How could he be as nonchalant as the father and son said?

All of this is just an excuse to calm things down.

Neither the host nor the victim said anything, and they didn't want to dwell on it, so the matter was just left unresolved.

General Xiao and Qin Junyu returned to the men's area to explain the situation.

Xiao Jianting went to the backyard to wait for the doctor to come and check the injuries. Although Li Yaoyuan was not injured, Xiao Jianting insisted that she go with him.

Nian Susu thought it was too abnormal and wanted to accompany her, but Li Yaoyuan refused. Wouldn't this tell everyone in the audience that they didn't trust Young Master Xiao?

It is better to avoid doing things that may give people something to talk about.

Li Yaoyuan comforted her with a few words, then followed Xiao Jianting out of the front hall and headed towards the backyard.

The rest of the people returned to their seats, leaving only Wang Yuejiao and Nian Susu standing where the incident had occurred.

Nian Susu glared at her angrily, moved his lips, and was about to curse several times, but he finally held back.

This is the Xiao Mansion. If she had a conflict with Wang Yuejiao, she would be slapping the Xiao family in the face. She couldn't do that.

Wang Yuejiao was very proud. Even if she didn't burn that bitch Li Yaoyuan, she was happy to see Nian Susu suffer a loss.

The two returned to their seats with two completely different emotions.

-

Li Yaoyuan followed Xiao Jianting, walked through the corridor and several courtyards, and came to a secluded courtyard.

The masters were all in the front hall, and naturally most of the servants followed them. In the entire general's mansion, except for the lively front hall, the rest of the place was deserted.

Li Yaoyuan looked around.

Xiao Jianting raised his chin towards the stone pillar and said, "Miss Li, sit down and talk."

She smiled and sat down with him.

There was a stone table between them, and Xiao Jianting placed his injured right hand on it. It was difficult to check the injury inside just now, but now he could see that the back of his swollen hand was covered with big blisters.

"Ah..." Li Yaoyuan frowned and cried out in shock.

"I'm sorry, Miss Li." Xiao Jianting pulled his sleeve down to cover most of the wound. Li Yaoyuan was afraid that he would rub the wound and cause secondary damage, so she reached out and pulled up the sleeve he had pulled off without thinking, saying in a hurried tone: "It will be more difficult to deal with the blister if it breaks later."

Li Yaoyuan withdrew her hand as if nothing had happened.

Xiao Jianting felt that his face was even hotter than his burned hands.

He pulled his hand back and said, "Such an ugly wound, must it scare Miss Li?"

Li Yaoyuan shook her head, "How could that be?"

She smiled and said, "If Master Xiao hadn't blocked it for me, I would be the one injured now. I am so grateful to you that I can't wait to see you. How can I think the wound is ugly?"

Xiao Jianting scratched his head and lowered his head in embarrassment, "I'm sorry, I misunderstood the girl."
