She was wearing brand new gold-embroidered shoes. It would be a shame if they got dirty.

When she looked up, she saw Mo Lingyue ordering people to spread straw on Lin Xiaoruan's carriage, and she immediately became so angry that her eyes turned red.

She turned around and looked at Madam Xing: "Mother, look at my cousin, he is only concerned with getting Lin Xiaoruan into the dilapidated temple first, but he doesn't care about us at all!"

Mrs. Xing was putting on her makeup in front of the mirror. "Why are you in such a hurry? Won't he come pick us up after he picks up the others?"

Xing Xuexue bit her lip and turned to look outside again.

About a cup of tea later, she saw Mo Lingyue appear under the eaves.

She quickly called out, "Cousin, please come and pick up my mother and me!"

Mo Lingyue ordered people to put down straw next to the carriage, but Xing Xuexue still didn't want to step on it, as she was afraid that her shoes would be stained.

She rolled her eyes and begged in a low voice: "Cousin, can you carry me in? Look, I just put on my new shoes today!"

Ling Yue refused without hesitation: "Don't you have legs yourself?"

Xing Xuexue argued dissatisfiedly: "I do have long legs, but you can see that the straw is soaked with mud and water, and my skirt is so long, what if it gets dirty?"

Mo Lingyue ignored her and extended his hand towards Madam Xing first.

Mrs. Xing used his wrist to get out of the carriage, holding up her skirt and stepping carefully on the straw.

He raised an eyebrow at Xing Xuexue: "Look at how your aunt left?"

Xing Xuexue complained softly for a few words, then followed on tiptoe.

At this time, a fire had been lit in the hall, which immediately dispelled the chill brought in by the cold rain.

Xing Xuexue saw Lin Xiaoruan stewing soup in a clay pot and couldn't help but walk over and ask curiously: "Miss Lin, what kind of soup are you stewing?"

Lin Xiaoruan politely replied, "It's ginseng soup for Master Tang to replenish his body. He's seriously injured right now, and the bumpy journey is really tough!"

Xing Xuexue wanted to say something else, but a stern voice stopped her immediately.

She turned around quickly and called out guiltily, "Mom!"

Madam Xing walked slowly up to Lin Xiaoruan and said, "Miss Xiaoruan, I've heard your name countless times. When Ah Yue was recuperating in the capital, thanks to your care, I'm very grateful to you!"

Lin Xiaoruan subconsciously asked: "Who are you?"

Mo Lingyue quickly introduced: "This is my aunt, and also Xue'er's mother!"

Lin Xiaoruan then laughed: "So it's Madam Xing. It's only right for you to take care of City Lord Mo because he is my sister's patient!"

Madam Xing scolded, "There's no such thing as a right. If it weren't for your sister's help, my poor Ayue would have died in the capital. We will never forget the kindness shown to him by the Zhan Yi Marquis's Mansion!"

After she finished speaking, she turned around and urged Xing Xuexue: "Xue'er, what did you say in the carriage? Didn't you want to apologize to Miss Lin?"

Xing Xuexue walked up to Lin Xiaoruan and said, "Miss Lin, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have spoken without restraint. Please don't bother with me!"

Lin Xiaoruan nodded: "Okay, I forgive you!"

Xing Xuexue blinked her eyes: "Then are you willing to be my good sister? I just arrived in the capital and I don't have any good friends yet!"

Lin Xiaoruan said with some embarrassment: "I have to prepare and dry medicinal herbs every day, and I also have to go to the pharmacy with my sister for free medical consultations. I'm afraid I don't have time to play with you!"

Xing Xuexue frowned. In fact, she was blaming Lin Xiaoruan for being unsympathetic.

Since she has shown her interest, she should agree immediately.

She also talked about going to the free medical consultation. Isn't she just trying to show her kindness in front of her cousin?

So scheming!

She didn't say anything more, turned around and went to warm herself by the fire in a sullen manner.

At this time, Lin Xiaoruan had also prepared the ginseng soup, and she carefully brought it to Tang Mingxuan.

At this time, Mo Lingyue also followed and said anxiously, "Xiaoruan, take a break. Let me take care of Brother Tang!"

Lin Xiaoruan looked at him in surprise: "Can you feed soup?"

Mo Lingyue nodded hurriedly: "Of course I can, I can do it, just watch from the side!"

After saying that, he looked at Tang Mingxuan and said, "Brother Tang, you don't want Miss Xiaoruan to be too tired, right?"

Tang Mingxuan nodded weakly: "Yes, then I'll trouble City Lord Mo!"

Mo Lingyue took the bowl of soup, tested the temperature first to make sure it was not too hot, then scooped some into Tang Mingxuan's mouth with a spoon.

Unexpectedly, he suddenly choked and coughed after the first bite.

Lin Xiaoruan was startled and quickly snatched the soup bowl and said, "City Lord Mo, you'd better not feed him. Young Master Tang can't cough now. If the wound is broken, it will be very troublesome!"

Mo Lingyue couldn't help but wonder, he was obviously feeding Tang Mingxuan very carefully, why was he still coughing?

Now it’s okay. The little girl feeds him with her own hands. They are very close to each other, which makes him feel really upset.

He turned around and went outside, and the cold wind cleared his mind a little.

At this time, Xing Xuexue followed behind him and whispered, "Cousin, did you flatter the horse's hoof? Are you being disliked?"

Mo Lingyue glared at her in dissatisfaction: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Xing Xuexue's eyes suddenly turned red. She reached out and grabbed his sleeve, begging, "Cousin, could you please not be so humble? You are the Lord of Jingcheng, how can you please others like this? I feel sorry for you!"

Mo Lingyue quickly broke free from her: "I'm willing to do this, and Xiaoruan is kind and considerate. She is very important to me!"

Xing Xuexue froze. She didn't expect her cousin to admit it.

But how could he interfere now? It was obvious that Lin Xiaoruan and Tang Mingxuan had a very good relationship!

Suddenly, a thunderclap sounded in the sky, and she was so frightened that she didn't dare to think too much and immediately returned to the hall.

After eating, everyone leaned against the wall to rest.

Lin Xiaoruan was also extremely tired. When she was feeling drowsy, a thick cloak was suddenly covered over her body.

She opened her eyes and met Mo Lingyue's concerned gaze: "I'm worried you're cold!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Mingxuan, who was huddled in the corner, started coughing violently.

"Cough, cough, cough!" He frowned, as if shivering from the cold.

Lin Xiaoruan spoke without hesitation: "City Lord Mo, I'm not cold. Can you give the cloak to the injured Mr. Tang?"

Mo Lingyue's expression suddenly froze. How could he say no?

He had no choice but to take back the thick cloak and carefully cover Tang Mingxuan with it.

Tang Mingxuan opened his eyes weakly and said gratefully, "City Lord Mo, thank you!"

Mo Lingyue felt so upset that he only regretted that he was not the one who was hurt.

He turned and walked outside the dilapidated temple, staring blankly at the rainy night outside with a frown.

At this time, Lin Xiaoruan also followed out. She asked in a low voice: "City Lord Mo, how long do you think this heavy rain will last?"

Mo Lingyue didn't answer but asked, "Miss Xiaoruan, why are you suddenly alienated from me?"

She asked blankly: "How could it be?"

Mo Lingyue murmured sadly, "When I was recuperating in the Marquis' Mansion, you called me Brother Ayue!"

Lin Xiaoruan was shocked when she heard that. Was that her?

How could you be so inappropriate?
