Quick Wear: Cousin, Come to the Bowl Quickly

"I wonder what Miss Xie is going to do that made her so angry that she almost broke into the outer courtyard?" Seeing that she had finally calmed down, He Tongguang released his hand that was holding her head and raised his eyebrows.

"What does it have to do with you!" Xie Lingyi naturally didn't want to say that she was so angry because someone spread rumors that she was involved with him, so she said in a bad tone.

"Then I, He, will not interfere any more. Miss Xie, please do as you please. However, the outer courtyard is ahead and there are many male guests there. Miss Xie, please do not go any further." Seeing that she was unwilling to say more, He Tongguang did not ask any more questions. He kindly reminded her and then prepared to leave.

Xie Lingyi had never thought that this man would be so good-tempered. She was a little surprised and quickly took out a handkerchief to cover her nose. She raised her head and looked at the man, only to find that he was wearing a wide robe with big sleeves, his black hair was half loosely draped, and he was dressed in a handsome and elegant manner.

Xie Lingyi couldn't help but think of the news her maid had heard a few days ago, which said that He Tongguang was a person who paid the most attention to dressing up and was extremely clean. Not only did he bathe three times a day, he also liked fancy clothes and beautiful jewelry. He dressed up like a pheasant with its tail showing all day long, very ostentatious.

Although he was dressed neatly, a closer look revealed that his clothes were wrinkled, his hair was slightly messy, and there were even a few tiny blades of grass hanging on his shoulders. He was very different from the image of a man who loved cleanliness and beauty in the legend. Xie Lingyi sniffed and asked, "Did Marquis Anding roll around in the haystack?"

He Tongguang paused, a dark light flashed in his eyes, but he quickly put on that cynical expression again, "Why do you say that, Miss Xie?"

"Look at the hem of your clothes and the grass leaves on your shoulders. If you hadn't rolled in the haystack, how could you be in such a mess?" Xie Lingyi pouted.

He Tongguang hurriedly checked himself and saw that it was just as she said, so he quickly straightened his clothes and said to Xie Lingyi, "I'm sorry to make you laugh, Miss Xie. I saw that it was late in spring and the sun was shining brightly, so I found a rock to take a rest for a while, and that's why my clothes got messed up."

Xie Lingyi couldn't help but be secretly shocked. No wonder people said that he was a playboy and unrestrained. How could he fall asleep in the garden when attending a banquet at someone else's house? Fortunately, he was a man. If he was a woman, she would have been disgraced long ago. But after all, his reputation was not that good now.

After this incident, Xie Lingyi's anger was almost gone, and she didn't want to get entangled with him anymore. After all, she was just saved by him last time, and the two of them had not done anything inappropriate, but such rumors had spread. If someone saw them together again, it would be even harder to explain.

She then waved her hand, indicating that he could leave. After answering her question, He Tongguang kept paying attention to her expression. Naturally, he did not miss the flash of contempt in her eyes. However, he had seen this kind of look many times. Although he felt a little unhappy in his heart, seeing that she was fooled by him, he bowed and prepared to leave.

Who knew that just as he was about to lift his foot, he heard a cry of surprise, "Miss!"

The expressions of both of them changed, and they looked at the person who made the sound. It turned out to be Xie Lingyi's maid who finally rushed over breathlessly. When she raised her eyes, she saw her young lady covering her nose with a handkerchief, which was covered with shocking bloodstains. Standing next to her was He Tongguang, the Marquis of Anding, who was known for his playboy status. In this situation, she couldn't help but think too much. She thought her young lady was bullied. She was horrified and screamed on the spot.

Xie Lingyi thought to herself that something was not right. Recently, her personal maid Daimao, who had grown up with her, fell ill, so she brought another maid, Yinzhu, with her. Yinzhu was loyal and protective of her master, but she was a little rash. Take the current situation for example, if Daimao saw this, she would definitely rush to her side and ask about the situation in a low voice, instead of shouting like Yinzhu did in the garden with so many guests today.

After Yinzhu shouted, she quickly ran to Xie Lingyi and asked with concern: "Miss, why did you bleed so much? Are you okay?" She then carefully reached out to check on Xie Lingyi's condition.

Xie Lingyi knew that she was confused because of her concern, but she still wanted to say that it was fine before, but now she has it.

Sure enough, Yinzhu's voice was quite powerful. Suddenly, sparse footsteps were heard around the originally quiet garden, accompanied by voices gradually approaching this side, and a man's voice was also heard from the outer courtyard.

Being attacked from both sides, He Tongguang took a deep breath, knowing that he could not escape now. He could only silently retreat a few steps and move away from the master and servant.

"Who is screaming here?" A domineering female voice suddenly sounded, followed by a group of brightly dressed ladies appearing not far away. After seeing the three people clearly, their voices all rose a few notches, "Isn't this the sister of the Xie family? And Marquis Anding, why are you two here?"

Xie Lingyi looked at Xiao Jing's malicious expression and Wang Si Niang, who was also gloating behind her, and knew that the two were going to do something naughty.

As expected, as soon as Xiao Jing finished speaking, Wang Si Niang pretended to be surprised and covered half of her face with a fan, as if she was having difficulty speaking: "Just now we said that you two had... Sister Xie got angry, but what are you doing now?"

Before Xie Lingyi could speak, Xiao Jing quickly added, "Although today's Spring Banquet is for the gentlemen and ladies..., I'm afraid it's immoral for you two to hide here like this."

Xie Lingyi watched the two of them singing in unison, just like a two-person play on the stage, and couldn't help but sneer, "I thought everyone in this world had a pair of eyes to see things, but it turns out that there are people who have eyes on their heads but can't see things. It's really pitiful."

The two people who were ridiculed as blind: ...

Xiao Jing naturally wouldn't hold back and was about to get angry, but Xie Lingyi didn't give her a chance. She glanced at her and said, "I didn't mention anyone by name. If someone is angry, it has nothing to do with me."

Xiao Jing was interrupted by her and said angrily, "Don't try to make excuses here. You two are alone and have a secret meeting here. Do you think you are right?"

"County Lady, please be careful with your words. This happened in broad daylight. My young lady just bumped her nose while walking carelessly, and it's still bleeding. Can't you see it?" Yinzhu finally realized that she had caused trouble for her young lady, and hurriedly spoke up to defend her.

Xiao Jing naturally saw Xie Lingyi's bloodstained handkerchief, but she said that on purpose. Xie Lingyi relied on the power of the Xie family and always looked down on others. She even looked down on herself, the princess of the royal family. She had long wanted to teach her a lesson. Now that she had found such a big handle, how could she let her go easily? Her face immediately turned cold and she angrily shouted at Yinzhu, "Who do you think you are? You have no right to interrupt the masters when they are talking. Yuzhan, slap her in the face."
