Xie Jianshu knew that she was serving Wang Yingying, so he quickly walked up to her and asked in a low voice, "Why are you here? Is there something wrong, Miss Wang?"
The young maid spoke anxiously, "My Lord, Miss Wang burned the back of her hand while taking medicine. She asked you to bring the medicine over. She doesn't want to call the palace doctor for fear of disturbing the distinguished guests who are visiting the palace!"
Xie Jianshu understood her concerns, so he explained the situation to Zhan Xuan and the others, and then went back to his yard to get some burn medicine.
He hurried to the guest house and when he saw Wang Yingying in such a mess, he couldn't help but ask, "How could she have burned herself?"
She choked with grievance: "I'm sorry, Master Xie, I've caused you trouble. I didn't expect the medicine bowl to be so hot!"
Xie Jianshu frowned and said, "Don't say that. Let me apply the medicine to you first!"
He carefully applied the ointment to her wound, and she suddenly let out a shrill scream: "Ah, it hurts!"
Her voice was so sharp that the little girls playing in the backyard could hear it clearly almost instantly.
Lin Yiwan also looked at Xie Ru curiously: "What's going on? I think I heard someone screaming?"
Xie Ru guessed that this would happen, and she said softly, "Come on, I'll take you to the guest house to have a look!"
She stood up and led the way, with everyone following behind her.
At this time, Xie Jianshu was nervously asking Wang Yingying, "Are you in severe pain? Logically, this medicine should relieve the pain after applying it!"
Wang Yingying burst into tears: "Thank you, my lord, I really can't help it!"
Perhaps she heard the footsteps outside, and she took advantage of Xie Jianshu's unpreparedness and threw herself into his arms.
The door opened, and everyone could clearly see the two of them hugging each other.
Xie Jianshu reacted belatedly and his face looked very gloomy and ugly for a moment.
He pushed Wang Yingying away and said, "Miss Wang, please don't be like this. Apply the medicine yourself first. I'll go explain this to everyone!"
He walked out on his own and said in a low voice, "Aunt Wan, Qing Ning, please don't misunderstand me. I accidentally bumped into her when I went to the palace for a banquet a few days ago, so I brought her back to the Marquis' Mansion to take care of her!"
Lin Yiwan stopped and looked at him. "Xiaoshu, do you know her name is Wang Yingying, and she's the second daughter of the current imperial censor Wang? Her elder sister just got engaged to the emperor?"
Xie Jianshu froze. "I, I don't know. She said she was an orphan with a miserable life. Otherwise, how could I bring her home?"
Xie Ru was also very shocked when she heard the news. She had been ill before and had never attended any banquets, so she was not familiar with the Censorate.
In addition, Wang Yingying deliberately concealed her identity, making it even more impossible to find out.
She frowned and said, "We must inform Madam Wang and ask her to come and discuss how to properly resolve this matter!"
Xie Jianshu's heart suddenly sank. He didn't expect things to become so complicated. He originally wanted to send Miss Wang away after her injury improved.
This truly proves the saying that it is easy to invite a god but difficult to send him away!
He felt bitter in his mouth and felt very sorry for Zhan Qingning.
He couldn't help but walk up to her and explain in a low voice: "Lime, can we talk alone?"
Zhan Qingning wanted to refuse, but when she saw his eyes filled with sadness, she subconsciously looked at Lin Yiwan who was standing not far away.
Lin Yiwan said softly, "Go, but don't go too far!"
Zhan Qingning immediately understood what she meant, which was that she must be within the sight of others.
She was touched that her mother cared about her reputation.
The two came to a dead tree not far away, with unmelted snow still piled on the branches.
Xie Jianshu spoke impatiently: "Qing Ning, don't misunderstand me. There is really no innocence between me and that Miss Wang. I just think that it is my responsibility to hurt her. I can't just ignore it!"
Zhan Qingning couldn't explain how she felt at the moment. When her mother mentioned to her that the wife of Marquis Weiyuan had chosen her as her daughter-in-law, she was actually a little frightened.
She felt that her status did not match Xie Jianshu's. Although she grew up in a marquis's mansion, she was ultimately not in a legitimate position.
Even when she came to the banquet today, she was still nervous, for she was afraid that she would not perform well and would incur the dislike of the wife of Marquis Weiyuan.
This feeling lasted until the moment I saw Xie Jianshu and Wang Yingying hugging each other!
She actually secretly breathed a sigh of relief!
Thinking of this, she smiled and said, "Thank you, my Lord. Thank you and the Marquis's wife for your appreciation of me. However, I know that we are not suitable for each other. From now on, shall we just be friends?"
This sentence suddenly hit Xie Jianshu on the head like a huge rock, completely stunning him.
He didn't expect Zhan Qingning to reject him so bluntly. He thought she would have to be more roundabout.
He couldn't accept it for a moment!
Zhan Qingning didn't want to say too much. She could see that he had deep feelings for her, but she couldn't give any response.
She saluted Xie Jianshu, turned around and left quickly.
He seemed to have lost his soul and stood in the distance for a long time without moving.
Until Zhan Xuan came and punched him on the shoulder: "You are so good, Xie Xiaoshu, I thought you really liked my sister Qing Ning, but I didn't expect that you are a playboy with a big heart. You are greedy and greedy! "
Xie Jianshu denied anxiously: "I didn't, I'm not that kind of person at all. Boss Xuan, Qing Ning misunderstood me, can't you see? I have nothing to do with Wang Yingying!"
Zhan Xuan stared at him with a frown: "There is nothing wrong with her, and she just threw herself into your arms? Xie Xiaoshu, we are not blind!"
Xie Jianshu's face turned red with anxiety. Even if he had a mouth all over his body, he couldn't explain himself.
How can this be good?
Perhaps his struggle and panic touched Zhan Xuan, and his tone softened.
He said worriedly, "You're in trouble now. Madam Wang from the Censorate has come to your house. I heard with my own ears that Miss Wang II said she likes you and wants to marry you!"
Xie Jianshu immediately refused: "No, I won't marry her. I'm going to tell my mother and the others clearly!"
After saying that, he hurried towards the main courtyard.
Looking at his back, Zhan Xuan couldn't help but shake his head: "Poor little tree, it actually attracted such a bad peach blossom, it seems that it can't get rid of it!"
After he finished sighing, the atmosphere in the warm room of the main courtyard became solemn.
Lin Yiwan was sitting on a chair drinking tea, with Zhan Qingning and Zhan Miao standing on her left and right, well-behaved and gentle.
Mrs. Wang came with Wang Yanyan. The moment she suddenly saw Wang Yingying, she subconsciously wanted to slap her hard in the face.
Unexpectedly, Wang Yingying dodged it directly and said threateningly, "Mother, are you disregarding the reputation of the Censorate and my sister?"
