Chapter 43: Cold

Ran Qiu Nian suppressed the thought that he wanted to turn his head to look at Ran Yinyin on the side, and shook his head with a pair of eyes only on the third aunt in front of him.

"The distance between the two mansions is not far away, and it is rare for Brother Qiubai to get together with the third uncle and all the cousins and uncles, so it will not disturb their interest, and it is okay for Nian'er to have Qingxi with him. The third aunt can rest assured. ”

The third aunt was also polite, seeing that Ran Qiunian did not appreciate it or insisted, but the next moment, she asked Ran Yinyin to send Ran Qiunian out of the house.

"This ......" Ran Qiunian felt a chill behind her back, and wanted to refuse, but in the end she didn't say anything, and smiled reluctantly at Ran Yinyin, who had an unknown expression, "Then I will bother the second cousin." ”

"Sister Nian'er is polite, please." Ran Yinyin couldn't hear anything wrong in her voice, Ran Qiunian turned her heart sideways, walked side by side with her, and slowly walked towards the carriage at the entrance of the mansion.

Thinking of Xiao Yin's instructions, Ran Qiunian was surrounded by servants along the way, and he didn't dare to be alone with Ran Yinyin for a moment. Ran Yinyin didn't say anything inappropriate with Ran Qiunian.

It wasn't until Ran Qiunian was helped into the carriage by Qingxi and was about to open the curtain and walk in that he heard a sentence from Ran Yinyin behind him.

"Sister Nian'er remembers to say hello to her second cousin on behalf of her cousin."

Ran Qiunian's back stiffened, her expression became cold, and she was about to turn her head to question, but she found that Ran Yinyin had already turned away, as if the meaningful words did not come from her.

"Miss, what do you mean by that?" Qingxi's arm holding Ran Qiunian was a little stiff, obviously also frightened by Ran Yinyin.

"Who knows what she's crazy again, let's go back first."

Ran Qiunian lifted the curtain and sat in the carriage, thinking about Ran Yinyin's words with unknown meaning, but her face couldn't help but become solemn.

After returning to Ran Mansion and walking into his courtyard, Ran Qiunian was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief and put the heart that had been hanging all the way back into his stomach.

"Qingxi, go and help me inquire, is the eldest brother back, if the eldest brother comes back, remember to tell me."

Ran Qiunian sent Qingxi out to inquire about the news, sat down on the chair with a pale face, and was about to pour a glass of water to calm down, when there was a knock on the door, Ran Qiunian's eyes lit up, and he immediately stood up and ran to open the door, but there was a grandmother with a concerned face standing outside.

"Nian'er, grandmother has heard that you suffered a crime in Sanfang, why did you come back so early? Is it injured, how can you be so careless, but the third room is angry with you? ”

The old lady heard that Ran Qiunian's carriage had returned to the house, and sent someone to inquire about what happened to Ran Qiunian over there, so she couldn't sit still at the moment, and she couldn't wait to send someone to spread the word to Ran Qiunian, so she rushed over with Ginkgo first.

"Let my grandmother worry, Nian'er is nothing serious, but she got lost in the rockery on the Sanfang Mansion and was a little scared."

Ran Qiunian saw that it was her grandmother who was coming, so she had to let go of her worries about Xiao Yin and Ran Qiubai first, welcomed her to the house and sat down, and comforted her grandmother who was not at ease with her.

"It's good, how can you still get lost in the rockery? You've been very clever since she was a child, and I've never heard of someone who can get lost in the rockery, so don't fool your grandmother here, is there someone in the third room who bullied you and deliberately took you to the rockery? ”

The old lady looked at Ran Qiunian with a suspicious face, her face was still not very good, afraid that she would be too sensible and swallow it herself, so she took Ran Qiunian's hand and patted it gently.

"If you have any grievances, just tell your grandmother, although your grandmother is old, she is not so useless that she can't even protect her granddaughter, if it's really the people in the third room who bullied you, just tell your grandmother, and your grandmother must have given you this breath."

"Grandmother is always used to thinking about her like this, and Nian'er is going to be spoiled by her grandmother."

Ran Qiunian was touched by what her grandmother said, her eyes couldn't help but reddened slightly, she muttered a few words in a nasal voice, hugged her grandmother's arm, and leaned her head over.

"Don't worry, grandmother, is Nian'er the kind of person who breaks his teeth and swallows it in his stomach? No one really bullied me, but Nian'er only found out today that Cousin Yin of the third aunt's family was a little inconsistent. The next time my grandmother sees Cousin Yin, she should be careful. ”

Ran Qiunian didn't want to tell her grandmother this, but after thinking about it, Ran Yinyin has always been a superficial person, she dared to collude with the mountain bandits to kill the life of Qiubai's brother, who had no grudges, what else could not be done?

For fear that her grandmother wouldn't be able to see Ran Yinyin's calculations, she would be coaxed by her when she didn't know and put herself in danger. Ran Qiunian did not hesitate to sue Ran Yinyin from her grandmother.

"Ran Yinyin? That kid has always been a trickle-up kid, I thought he was a polite kid, who knows if it's such a person, did she bully you at the birthday party? ”

Facing her grandmother's unhesitating trust, Ran Qiunian was moved in her heart, but she had no conclusive evidence, and she was afraid that her grandmother would be worried about Qiubai's brother's safety when she found out, so she just said it ambiguously.

"In short, the next time my grandmother sees Cousin Yin, don't believe anything she says, just put the things she gives you in the warehouse and put them away, don't pay attention to where you are invited, you will know in the future."

Grandmother looked at Ran Qiunian with some amusement when she heard this, and only regarded what Ran Qiunian said as a child's willful request, but despite this, grandmother still agreed to everything.

Ran Qiunian was a little relieved.

After staying for a while, seeing that Ran Qiunian's spirit had improved a lot, and confirming that the person had not been injured, but was tired, her grandmother went back first, and repeatedly told Ran Qiunian to rest well before leaving.

Ran Qiunian sent her grandmother away, changed out the dress that was already a little dusty on her body, and waited for a long time, the sky gradually darkened, and finally waited for the news of Xiao Yin's return home.

"I'm going to see the eldest brother, Qingxi, have you found any news about Brother Qiubai?"

Ran Qiunian walked towards Xiao Yin's courtyard and asked Qingxi.

"Miss, don't worry, the eldest young master came back with the second young master, and everyone said that the second young master drank too much at the birthday banquet, and the eldest young master directly placed people in his own yard."

Ran Qiunian nodded, quickened his pace and walked through the small door, and saw Xiao Yin's cronies guarding outside at the door of the wing, and walked towards the wing.

"Big brother and Brother Qiubai can be inside?"

Ran Qiunian stood at the door, asked a few words, and heard Xiao Yin's voice coming from inside, so he pushed open the door and walked in.

"Big brother, what's wrong with Brother Qiubai?"

Ran Qiunian walked quickly to the side of the bed, looking at Ran Qiubai who was lying on the bed with his eyes closed and unresponsive, looking nervous.

"He's fine, he's just drugged, I'm afraid he'll have to sleep until tomorrow."

Xiao Yin settled Ran Qiubai and was about to leave the house.

Knowing that Ran Qiubai was fine, Ran Qiunian breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, Ran Yinyin is not poison, Brother Qiubai is really careless this time, I have reminded him so many times to be careful of Ran Yinyin......"

Thinking of the group of vicious-looking mountain bandits, Ran Qiunian was curious about how Xiao Yin rescued the person unharmed, so he subconsciously reached out to pull Xiao Yin's arm.

"How did the big brother ...... Brother Qiubai" Ran Qiunian felt the wet and sticky touch on the sleeves of his hands, his face changed, and he immediately held Xiao Yin's arm and asked, "Big brother is injured?" ”

Xiao Yin withdrew his arm, glanced at the dark color on Xuanxi's sleeve, and said in a light tone: "A small cut, most of this blood belongs to those mountain bandits." ”

Ran Qiunian was a little uneasy, she thought about it, sat Xiao Yin on the edge of the table, ran out and dragged out a medicine box under Xiao Yin's bed, which was put into Xiao Yin's house according to her own habits, but she didn't expect it to be useful.

Holding the medicine box back to the wing, Xiao Yin was still sitting at the table, he looked at Ran Qiunian with a serious face, and his expression was slightly warm.

"Big brother came here today is too timely, how did you know that Brother Qiubai would be in danger?"

Ran Qiunian rolled up the sleeves on Xiao Yin's arms, and sure enough, he saw a wound, as Xiao Yin said, it was not big, and he had already stopped the bleeding by himself, and the large blood stains on the sleeves were indeed left by the mountain bandits.

Ran Qiunian was relieved at this time, and while wiping Xiao Yin's wound and bandaging it, he curiously asked the question that had been held all the way.

"There was a problem with the transportation of the Ranjia Grain Village in the neighboring city, and I found out that the people behind the scenes were the mountain bandits entrenched in Chimeng Mountain between the two cities, and I found the stronghold of Splendid City all the way, and I heard the two mountain bandits who stayed behind talking about the transaction between Ran Yinyin and that Wang Boss, so I rushed over."

Xiao Yin explained the cause and effect clearly in a few words, but Ran Qiunian couldn't help but smack his tongue secretly when he listened, today is really too dangerous, if the eldest brother fails to find Ran Yinyin along the mountain bandits who are making trouble in Chimeng Mountain, she and Brother Qiubai are afraid that they will suffer.

"Big brother has been tired all the way, it must be very hard, Brother Qiubai will leave it to Nian'er here, big brother, you go back and rest, and discuss something together tomorrow."

Ran Qiunian bandaged Xiao Yin's wound, put away the medicine box, went around behind Xiao Yin, and helped the person to send it out of the door, that careful strength, as if Xiao Yin was not injured by a small wound on his hand, but by the inconvenience of his legs and feet, which made Xiao Yin a little crying and laughing.

"Just send someone to guard here, and you can go back quickly. I heard that I got lost in the rockery on the Sanfang Mansion today, I'm afraid it took a lot of energy? Come back to me tomorrow and think about it. ”

Xiao Yin's words on "rockery" and "lost" were a little heavier, which suddenly made Ran Qiunian lose her voice, remembering that she took the risk to save a man in black last time, but was "ruthlessly" reprimanded by Xiao Yin.

Although this time it was to save his brother, if Xiao Yin hadn't appeared in time, I was afraid that the consequences would be even more serious than the last time.

Ran Qiunian's face was full of emptiness, and he looked at Xiao Yin's serious expression, and those righteous words suddenly wilted like an eggplant beaten by frost, and he didn't dare to refute Xiao Yin with a word.

"Big brother, Na Nian'er will go back first, if there is anything to say together tomorrow, you have a good rest and dissipate your anger."

After saying the last sentence, Ran Qiunian smeared oil on the soles of his feet, and quickly slipped out of the house, almost writing his heart on his face, the attitude of simply admitting cowardice but not repenting, made Xiao Yin angry, nor did he laugh.

looked at the white cloth wrapped around the wound on his right arm, and a trace of helplessness crossed his eyes.
