She didn't agree immediately, but frowned and pondered: "I need to ask Qing Ning's opinion before giving you an answer!"

Xie Ru nodded: "Okay, I'm not in a hurry, everything still depends on Qing Ning's wishes!"

Many noble ladies came over to chat, so the two of them stopped talking.

As expected, Wang Yanyan was chosen as the queen of the current dynasty, and Prince Li set the wedding date.

Mrs. Wang was surprised and happy. She never expected that her daughter would have such good fortune.

For a time, she became the object of pursuit, and many people began to set their sights on her other children.

Mrs. Wang's heart suddenly tightened when she thought of the missing Wang Yingying. If she knew that Wang Yanyan was chosen as the queen, she was afraid that more trouble would arise. She had to find her quickly.

With this worry in her mind, Mrs. Wang was a little absent-minded throughout the entire palace banquet.

It was not until she got on the carriage leaving the palace that she came to her senses.

She grasped Wang Yanyan's wrist tightly and said, "Yan'er, you are now the queen. I am worried that your second sister will not give up. Why don't you stay at the Zhan Yihou Mansion for a few more days? After mother finds her, she will take you home."

Wang Yanyan frowned and said, "Mother, please don't bother Madam Hou anymore. Even if Wang Yingying tries to play tricks again, I can handle it!"

Mrs. Wang wanted to persuade her again, but seeing her stubborn look, she kept silent.

She thought, forget it, just send more people to protect her!

At this time, Xie Jianshu also followed Xie Ru back to Weiyuan Marquis Mansion. Before he entered the door, he saw the little maid who was assigned to serve the injured girl standing at the door looking around.

He walked over quickly and asked, "What happened?"

The little maid replied anxiously, "My Lord, that girl has suddenly developed a high fever. I have called the palace doctor, but she refuses to see me. Please go and see her!"

Xie Jianshu's expression suddenly changed, and he subconsciously walked towards the guest house.

Xie Ru called out to him in time: "Shu'er, stop!"

Xie Jianshu turned back in confusion: "Mother?"

Xie Ru walked quickly to him, reached out to straighten his collar, and said, "Don't forget, you're already discussing marriage with Qing Ning. You need to be careful with your words and actions and don't spread any bad rumors!"

Xie Jianshu stammered awkwardly, "But, didn't my mother teach me since I was a child to be responsible? I accidentally hurt her, so I should be responsible for her!"

Xie Ru advised: "You don't have to go in person. Don't see her again. Mother has sent someone to take care of her. Don't worry, she will never suffer any injustice!"

Xie Jianshu was also worried that Zhan Qingning would misunderstand him, so he did not insist on visiting Wang Yingying.

When Xie Ru came to Wang Yingying, she saw her lying extremely weak on the bed. She wanted to get up helplessly, her eyes filled with fear and anxiety.

Xie Ru quickly reached out and held her down: "Young lady, don't move. You have a high fever, why don't you let the court doctor see you? Since you have come to our Weiyuan Marquis Mansion, you must not be treated poorly!"

A trace of guilt flashed across Wang Yingying's face. She actually wanted to lure Master Xie over and use her broken and weak appearance to arouse his strong desire to protect her.

She knew that he was a young man of good character, and she wanted to control him, use him as a stepping stone, and then take revenge on Wang Yanyan.

But in front of this marquis' wife, she could only carefully hide her plans.

She hesitantly explained: "I'm fine, I don't want to trouble Master Xie, and I don't want to trouble Madam Hou!"

Xie Ru laughed calmly: "Miss, if you get better soon, you won't have to trouble us. Ask the court doctor to check your pulse first, and don't delay your treatment any longer!"

How could Wang Yingying refuse anymore? She could only hand her wrist to the court doctor.

Soon, the court doctor frowned and said, "This girl has a high fever because of shock, but it's nothing serious. She will be fine after drinking a few bowls of medicine!"

Xie Ru nodded: "Then go and boil the medicine quickly, and be sure to be careful!"

The court doctor agreed and left quickly, and the room immediately became quiet.

Xie Ru was the first to speak: "I wonder if you have any relatives, young lady? Since you've been injured like this, the Xie family will definitely come and apologize!"

Wang Yingying shook her head vigorously: "No, Madam Hou, there is no need to go and apologize. My parents died when I was young, and I am an orphan!"

Xie Ru looked at her in surprise and immediately guessed that she was lying.

Let me ask you, which orphan is raised so well?

Although the little girl looked a little disheveled, her skin was fair and delicate, especially her black hair, which showed that her previous life must have been very comfortable.

She thought to herself, this must be some noble lady who ran away on her own accord.

Perhaps sensing Xie Ru's scrutiny, Wang Yingying anxiously asked, "Madam Hou, don't you trust me? If you don't want to take me in, I can leave!"

After saying that, she struggled to get up and get off the bed.

Xie Ru quickly explained, "Miss, you misunderstood. I was just worried that your elders might be worried. Since you said you have no family, then you should just stay here and recuperate!"

Wang Yingying said cautiously, "Then I'm sorry to bother you, Madam. Don't worry, I will definitely leave after I get better. I will definitely not stay in your Weiyuan Marquis Mansion!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the court doctor returned with the medicine bowl in his hand.

Xie Ru personally fed Wang Yingying the medicine. After she finished drinking it, she instructed the maid to take good care of her and to call her if she felt unwell, no matter how late it was.

Although he seemed very concerned, Wang Yingying understood that he was warning her not to disturb her son again.

She bit her lips hard, a flash of unwillingness in her eyes.

After Xie Ru left, Wang Yingying pretended to close her eyes and sleep.

The maid didn't dare to disturb him and tiptoed to the door to wait for orders.

After hearing the noise, Wang Yingying stood up and jumped out of the rear window.

She had already asked the maid about Xie Jianshu's courtyard, and now she was going to find him.

Xie Jianshu was practicing sword in the yard. The little boy, standing in the moonlight, looked very handsome and mighty.

Wang Yingying was almost stunned and stood at the door motionless.

Xie Jianshu quickly noticed her presence and asked in confusion, "Girl, why are you here so late?"

She reacted immediately, but her feet were numb because she had been standing for too long.

She let out a low cry and threw herself into his arms.

Xie Jianshu subconsciously grabbed her arm and used great strength to barely hold her steady.

Wang Yingying's eyes immediately turned red, and she choked with grievance: "Thank you, my lord, you hurt me!"

Xie Jianshu quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do that. If I hadn't held you firmly, you would have fallen flat on your face!"

Wang Yingying was dissatisfied. He could actually hug her.

On her face, she said bitterly: "I came here to say goodbye to you. I can see that your mother dislikes me and is afraid that I will bring trouble to your reputation. I am not a fool who can't tell the difference between good and bad!"
