Heartstrings Resonance: The Beloved Princess of the Female Power
Chapter 8 Falling
Xiao Yao thought about what Chen Baoling had just said and still wanted to go.
"Please sit down and wait for me for a while, sister. I'll be back soon." Xiao Yao said apologetically.
Liu didn't ask what was going on. "No problem, sister, just go ahead. I'll talk to Yunxi." She looked at Mu Yunxi. The more she looked, the more she exclaimed, "How beautiful!"
It has to be said that Mu Yunxi inherited the best qualities of her parents in both of her lives, but in this life she is more like her mother.
"Mom, you follow mother. I want to talk to Aunt Qin." He signaled to Mother Wu to go quickly.
Xiao Yao said, "No need, I'll ask Xiao Shan to go with me. Don't worry." Then she gestured to Mother Wu to take good care of Mu Yunxi.
Seeing this, Madam Liu jokingly said, "Don't worry, sister. I'm here. Are you afraid that I'll kidnap Yun Xi?"
"Stop teasing me." Xiao Yao smiled and glared at Liu before leaving. Liu's smile! She hadn't expected Xiao Yao to be this kind of person. It was a pity that she was afraid of offending anyone when she came.
"Auntie, please sit down," Mu Yunxi said.
"Okay, you sit down too," she said, helping Mu Yunxi sit down. Mother Wu poured them tea.
Mrs. Liu asked Mu Yunxi worriedly, "I heard you injured your ribs. Are you feeling better now?"
"Yeah, better." Mu Yunxi replied.
"Damn it, you can even kill a little girl like you. Humph! You will go to hell sooner or later." Liu said angrily.
She was still furious when a maid's voice came from outside the door, "Madam, someone's here asking when you'll be back." Liu frowned slightly, wondering inwardly, "Why are these people rushing me so quickly?" A hint of displeasure appeared on her face.
This was the maid that Liu brought out when she came. Because they were afraid that too many people would cause Xiao Yao to misunderstand, the maids and maids were left outside.
"Wait a moment or two, send someone back to prepare the meal," Liu said softly with a cold face.
"Yes." The old woman responded and turned to leave.
"You are really unruly. I'm sorry to have embarrassed Yunxi and mom," Mrs. Liu frowned and rubbed her temples with her hands, saying in an awkward tone.
Mother Wu was not sure what to say, so she just smiled. After all, she was a servant and couldn't speak casually. This made it difficult for Mu Yunxi to not reply. She remembered how Mother Wu and Xiao Yao usually handled such situations, so she smiled and replied, "Aunt, what you said is not true. We are sorry to bother you. This matter may bring trouble to your family. Thank you for not taking it seriously and for being willing to help us. We are very grateful."
After hearing what Mu Yunxi said, Mrs. Liu took her hand and patted it gently, and said earnestly: "What trouble is it? Auntie doesn't like to hear that! The Qin family also received favors from Old Master Xiao in the past. Your great-grandfather was not able to repay him when he was alive. As a result, grandpa has been depressed. He received favors but had no chance to repay. Now there is such a chance to help Old Master Xiao's granddaughter and great-granddaughter, but grandpa is eager to learn! Don't say such things anymore. If you say too much, it will be too formal." After hearing what Mrs. Liu said, Mu Yunxi stopped being polite. The Qin family helped them this time, and she and Xiao Yao were grateful. They would definitely repay the Qin family in other ways in the future.
"Sorry to have kept you waiting," a voice and someone came into the room. Xiao Yao quickly stepped forward and took Liu's hand. Liu hurriedly stood up to greet her. Mu Yunxi was also helped up by Wu's mother. There was no reason for her to sit while her elders stood.
Xiao Yao said a little embarrassedly: "Sister, I may need to bring one more person."
"That's not true, sister. If you want to take it, just take it! It's just a matter of an extra pair of bowls and chopsticks." Liu said indifferently.
Then Xiao Yao instructed Mother Wu: "I'll be here with Xi'er. You and Xiao Shan go over and carry the girl to the carriage. We'll be right there."
"Yes, ma'am." Mother Wu bowed and left.
Mu Yunxi was full of curiosity but didn't show it on her face. The situation was dangerous now, and Xiao Yao would not bring an irrelevant person with her for no reason. She thought about asking Xiao Yao later.
Everyone went out together, thanked Dr. Chen, took the medicine and set off for the Qin family.
It is now seven quarters past noon. When Mu Yunxi arrived at the Qin family at about 9 o'clock, she was already feeling hungry. After all, the thin porridge was not enough to fill her up, and she had it last night.
Xiao Yao asked Madam Wu to take care of Mu Yunxi and took their original carriage. She and the other girl took one of the carriages brought by Liu, and Liu took another one herself. Liu wanted to ride with Xiao Yao, but Xiao Yao declined. Liu was a tactful person and did not argue.
At 9:00 PM, the Qin residence's gates were wide open, and all the Qin family members, young and old, were there to greet them. Old Master Qin, hunched over, leaning on a crutch, supported by a grandson, stood at the doorway, looking out into the distance. The younger generation urged, "Father, please go back first. We will definitely not neglect Miss Xiao."
"Yes, grandpa, you are not well yet?" Qin Fusheng's son and grandson persuaded him.
"Okay, I'm fine. I'm not going to die yet. Stop trying to persuade me," Qin Fusheng interrupted them, squinting at the carriage approaching in the distance. He asked Qin Donghai, who was supporting him, "Donghai, look! Is it coming?" Qin Donghai raised his head and said loudly, "Yes, it's coming!"
"Okay, okay, Donglai! Tell the servants to get ready!" Qin Fusheng ordered quickly.
"Don't worry, Grandfather, everything is ready." Qin Donglai responded.
The carriage slowly stopped. Liu got out and was startled to see so many people standing at the door. She quickly stepped forward and bowed. "Grandson's wife greets grandfather, and daughter-in-law greets father and mother." Qin Fusheng urged, "Go and pick them up first. Don't keep them waiting."
"Yes." Before Liu went to pick him up, she heard Xiao Yao's voice. When the carriage stopped, she exchanged a few words with the girl inside and prepared to get out. "Why do you need to come and pick me up in person? Such a grand ceremony is too much for me to handle!" She hurried forward and saluted Qin Fusheng. "Greetings, Grandpa Qin. I heard yesterday that Grandpa Qin was not feeling well. Is he feeling better today?"
"It's okay. Is the little girl feeling better? Is the injury serious?" Qin Fusheng asked about Mu Yunxi's injury.
"Fortunately, it's not too serious. Doctor Chen is a good doctor and he said it can be cured." Xiao Yao responded.
"Okay, that's good. You and your daughter can live here without worry and treat it as your own home." Qin Fusheng said sincerely.
"Okay, thank you, Grandpa Qin." Xiao Yao expressed her gratitude.
"Don't say those foreign words. Just tell me what you need. Don't be polite." Qin Fusheng said.
Then he introduced Xiao Yao, "This is your uncle and aunt."
Xiao Yao bowed and said, "Greetings, uncle and aunt."
There are differences between men and women. Qin Donglai's father nodded, and his mother, Qin Wangshi, hurried to help Xiao Yao. "How can I accept the courtesy of the lady?"
Xiao Yao said, "I can bear it. My mother and I will have to stay at my aunt's house for a while. I hope my aunt doesn't find it annoying."
"How could that be? Just live here peacefully. If you need anything, just tell your aunt." Qin Wangshi felt relieved to see that Xiao Yao was not arrogant at all. You know, the wife of the county magistrate is treated like a hero.
Qin Wang pointed to her son and daughter-in-law beside her and introduced them to Xiao Yao, "This is my eldest son, Donglai, a year younger than you. You've also met his daughter-in-law, Liu. They have an eldest daughter and two sons."
Qin Donglai stepped forward and saluted, "Greetings, Madam," and Xiao Yao returned the salute.
Qin Wangshi pointed to the couple next to Qin Fusheng and said, "This is the second son, named Donghai, and the second daughter-in-law, Xiao Wangshi, who is my niece from my mother's side. We have two sons and one daughter," and then returned the greeting again.
As an official's wife, Xiao Yao didn't have to return the courtesy, but out of respect for the Qin family, who were willing to help them and were so polite and considerate, she was willing to lower her posture. Seeing Xiao Yao like this, the Queen of Qin straightened her back even more.
"Except for the sisters, everyone else was sent to school this morning. Their eldest son, Hua Ge'er, is twelve years old this year. The teacher in the school always praises him for his good academic performance and says he has a bright future. He wanted to take leave and stay at home to welcome the guests, but the teacher said that he should focus on his studies." Qin Wang said with a smile.
Xiao Yao was puzzled by Qin Wang's words, but she figured she was just trying to praise her grandson for his love of learning and academic performance. So she smiled and replied, "Studying should be the priority."
Mu Yunxi was helped down from the carriage by Mother Wu. She slowly walked forward and bowed slightly, "Yunxi greets all the elders." "I don't know who is who and what to call them, so I might as well just call them that!" Mu Yunxi thought to herself.
"Oh! This is the eldest daughter, isn't it? She's so pretty. I heard from the reporter yesterday that she was injured. Come on, don't stand here, come in." Qin Wangshi said as she looked at Mu Yunxi. Seeing her like this, Mu Yunxi didn't care how she looked at her.
Xiao Yao held Wang back, "Aunt, please don't call her that. Just call her Yunxi." Xiao Yao secretly complained, her face froze with laughter. "There was another girl in the car. She's a distant relative of my master. I met her at the clinic, and I was worried about her being alone, so I took her with me." Then she said to Mother Wu, "Mother Wu, go and get Luo Ran down."
The Qin family members nearby were puzzled. Xiao Yao went to help Mu Yunxi and explained: "This child encountered bandits on his way out and fell off the carriage. His arms and legs were injured and he can't move."
Everyone suddenly understood. "Oh~"
When they saw the person that Mother Wu carried down, they were so shocked that they were speechless.
Xiao Yao introduced: "This is Miss Luo Ran, sixteen years old."
Qin Wangshi exclaimed: "This, this is a fairy."
Today, Luo Ran has washed her face and changed into a clean, ordinary green dress. However, this ordinary dress cannot conceal her beauty at all, and it also adds a bit of nobility to the clothes.
At first glance, her face was like a meticulously crafted scroll, each stroke priceless and breathtaking. Her eyes were dazzling and piercing, like the brightest stars in the night sky, captivating everyone.
Mu Yunxi looked at Luo Ran, and her first reaction was, "Is this a reincarnated goblin? Fair skin, beautiful face, long legs, a real beauty." Then she looked at herself. Okay, she was only thirteen, she hadn't grown up yet. But that didn't stop her from appreciating beautiful women. In her heart, Mu Yunxi felt childish again.
There had been many beauties in her past life, but none so enchanting as this one, radiating nobility from the inside out. Her beauty was alluring yet tinged with a freshness. This feeling left Mu Yunxi with a complex mix of emotions. She was only sixteen, yet her eyes held a calm composure. Even the ancients, precocious in their maturity, would have been shy under such a crowd, likely covering their faces. But this Luo Ran girl, with her expression, was indifferent, as if they weren't looking at her.
Luo Ran opened her red lips and said softly, "Mom Wu, put me down. I still have one foot to stand. Just hold me up." Her voice was like the autumn wind blowing through the bamboo forest. It was calm and composed, and had a pleasant melody that made people intoxicated.
Mother Wu gently put her down and carefully supported her. Luo Ran nodded to everyone and said, "Sorry to bother you all." Her voice was as gentle as a melody. Although she didn't make any charming gestures, her eyes were captivating.
