Xie Jianshu immediately frowned. He felt that his mother was definitely not such a person. His mother was very kind and she must have misunderstood.

He subconsciously explained, "Girl, my mother is definitely not what you said. Since she promised me that she would take good care of you, she will never break her promise. You are still injured. What if you really become disabled? What will happen in the future?"

Wang Yingying sneered, "You are the heir of the Marquisate, so you don't have to worry about my life or death. Don't say anything. Even if I really was unconscious outside, I would never say that you hit me!"

After saying that, she turned and left quickly.

Seeing her limping figure, Xie Jianshu immediately chased after her: "Girl, you can't be so willful. Can't I take care of you myself?"

Wang Yingying finally stopped in her tracks. She said with some trepidation, "But if the Marquis knew I had come to see you, would she punish me again?"

Xie Jianshu frowned and said, "I will explain to her. It was me who insisted on taking care of you. It has nothing to do with you!"

Only then did her expression soften as she whispered softly, "Don't be afraid, my Lord Xie. I won't rely on you. As long as I recover from my injuries, I'll leave Weiyuan Marquis' Mansion!"

Xie Jianshu sent her back to the guest house, which really scared the maid who was dozing outside.

She asked tremblingly: "Miss, when did you go out? Why didn't you wake me up?"

Wang Yingying said gently, "Don't be nervous. I just felt a little bored lying on the couch all the time, so I wanted to go out and relax. I didn't expect to run into the prince!"

Xie Jianshu handed her to the maid and said, "Don't be lazy, take good care of her!"

The maid quickly responded: "Yes!"

After Xie Jianshu left, she whispered, "Miss, if you want to go out for a walk, just call me. If the Madam knows that I haven't taken good care of you, I will be scolded!"

Wang Yingying didn't know whether she heard it or not, so she just nodded lightly.

The next day, Xie Jianshu came to visit Wang Yingying and personally fed her medicine.

When Xie Ru heard the news, she immediately felt extremely strange.

She called Xie Jianshu over and asked, "Do you have any thoughts about that Miss Wang? I'm your mother. You must not hide what you think!"

Xie Jianshu cried out in injustice: "Mom, how could I have any feelings for her? I like Qing Ning, didn't I tell you a long time ago?"

Xie Ru softened her expression and said, "You're not a three-year-old child anymore. Don't you know that there's no room for physical contact between men and women? It's true that you injured Miss Wang, but you don't have to take care of her yourself."

Xie Jianshu thought of his promise to Wang Yingying, and frowned as he argued, "Mother, I just want her to get better soon. Once we send her away from the Marquis' Mansion, everything will return to normal. Even if Qing Ning knew about this, I believe she would understand!"

Xie Ru was stunned. Her silly son didn't even know whether Zhan Qingning had such feelings for him, so how could he be so sure that others could understand?

To put it nicely, this move of his is a sign of responsibility; to put it bluntly, it is an overstepping of the line.

How could she have raised such a stupid son?

Even though she complained in her heart, Xie Ru was a smart mother.

She deeply understood one thing, that is, she couldn't force them apart, otherwise, Xie Jianshu would inevitably feel resistance.

She said in a serious tone, "Okay, take good care of her first, and make plans after she recovers!"

However, just as she and her son had finished their discussion, Lin Yiwan sent a message saying that she would bring the children to visit Weiyuan Marquis' Mansion.

This put her in a dilemma. She thought Miss Wang should be settled outside the mansion.

She tried to discuss it with Xie Jianshu and explained the seriousness of the matter to him.

Xie Jianshu frowned and said, "Mother, I have nothing to hide. Why would I send her away? Even if Aunt Wan and Qing Ning asked, I would just say I bumped into her accidentally. I can't just stand by and watch her die!"

Seeing that he was stubborn, Xie Ru stopped trying to persuade him.

After he left, she looked helplessly at the personal nanny beside her: "The prince must have been tricked by that Miss Wang. His marriage to Qing Ning will not have any result!"

The nanny was shocked and said, "Madam, how could you just stand by and do nothing? You can't let the prince marry an orphan!"

Xie Ru rubbed his brows and said, "How can I intervene? He's just blinded by greed. If I force Miss Wang to leave, he'll definitely bear a grudge. It's better to let him hit a wall first. Then he'll see clearly Miss Wang's sinister intentions!"

The personal nanny sighed with a sad face: "Miss Qing Ning is really a good match for our prince. She has been taught very well by the Marquis' wife!"

Xie Ru nodded: "Well, I really like Qing Ning too. If she and I really don't have a good relationship as mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, I can't blame anyone else!"

After the two finished talking, they began to prepare for the banquet.

Xie Ru even specially invited a troupe from the theater to the house so that the children could listen to the most popular operas of the time.

Not only Lin Yiwan's family came, but even Sang Qiutang came with Lin Zhenzhen and the pregnant Princess Youyi.

The originally quiet Weiyuan Marquis Mansion suddenly became lively, with the sounds of children running and laughing everywhere.

Wang Yingying could no longer lie still, and a fierce struggle flashed in her eyes.

At this time, the little maid came in quickly with a medicine bowl in her hand. She said absentmindedly, "Miss Wang, drink the medicine quickly while it's hot!"

Wang Yingying looked at her in surprise: "Are you in such a hurry? Is there something you need to do?"

The little maid bit her lip guiltily, and after a moment she whispered, "There's an opera being performed outside, I really want to go and listen!"

Wang Yingying immediately understood and couldn't help laughing: "Go ahead, I can take the medicine myself!"

After hearing her words, the maid immediately stuffed the medicine bowl into her hands.

But just as she reached the door, she heard Wang Yingying scream suddenly: "Ah!"

She was so frightened that she shuddered all over. When she looked back, she found that the whole bowl of medicine had been poured onto the back of Wang Yingying's hand.

She lay there with a painful look on her face, which scared the little maid to death.

She cried out, "I'll go get the palace doctor right away. Please wait a moment, young lady!"

Wang Yingying quickly stopped her, "Stop! If you run out like this, you might disturb the distinguished guests at the mansion. Go and tell the prince secretly to bring the burn ointment over first!"

The little maid calmed herself down and hurried to the yard to look for Xie Jianshu.

At this time, he was playing the pitching pot game with Zhan Xuan and Zhan Mu. The little guys got together and were so happy.

At this time, Zhan Xuan was the first to notice the little maid standing not far away, and hurriedly reminded Xie Jianshu: "Xie Xiaoshu, look back, is she looking for you?"
