Chapter 537: Injured
Xie Xianzhi and his sister Xie Yinghui attended the funeral ceremony of their grandmother, Duchess Chengen.
They are not like the Cao family, who have the intention to show off their "filial piety", nor like Cao Wenfeng, who wants to show their faces in front of others, they just low-key follow other relatives and friends to complete the process that should be completed by themselves in the whole ceremony.
Xie Xianzhi was very calm, and although Xie Yinghui knew that everyone in the Cao family was not sincere, seeing that her grandmother had received the grief after her death, there were many more people who came to worship than expected, and her heart was finally a lot better. For the sake of her grandmother's peace after her death, she no longer blames everyone in the Chengenhou Mansion.
Her biggest regret now is that her biological mother Cao Shuqing never appeared to send her grandmother on her last journey. She couldn't understand what her mother was thinking. Could it be that marrying Fang Wenshan is so important to her mother? Can children do not, the death of their own brother is nothing, and now even the funeral of their biological mother can be left behind?
Xie Yinghui is ashamed to have such a mother!
Duchess Chengen's maiden nephew came over and talked to the Xie brothers and sisters a few words. They did not participate in the Cao family's framing of the Xie family, at most they showed indifference afterwards and did not lend a helping hand to the Xie family's brothers and sisters. But he didn't tear his face, which means that this cousin can still care for Xie Xianzhi and Xie Yinghui as an elder, so that they don't feel too sad, and by the way, inquire about the current situation to see if there is anything they need his help with.
Now that the momentum of the Cao family has fallen, Xie Pu is safe and sound as a high-ranking official of the third grade, I heard that he is very valued by King Yan, and the eldest princess of Yongning also has a sense of protection for the Xie family, the Xie family is obviously not exhausted, and there is no need for relatives to be too cold to them.
Xie Xianzhi knew that this cousin was unreliable, but the other party expressed a caring attitude, and he responded politely to the past as a junior, maintaining the appearance of friendliness. Everyone knows in their hearts that this is just plastic kinship, but in today's occasion where powerful people gather, why make the scene too ugly?
Xie Xianzhi used his youthful social skills to cope with the false care of his cousin and other relatives and friends who came together. Xie Yinghui is not as patient as him. During her time in Beijing, she had already seen through the ruthlessness of these relatives and friends, and she was even ridiculed and ridiculed by those cousins. She didn't want to entertain these people, so she whispered to Xie Xianzhi and found an excuse to exit the rest room.
Relatives and friends only looked at her a few times, but did not catch up with her. After all, Xie Xianzhi's weight is heavier than Xie Yinghui's, and they also know that Xie Yinghui is a willful and unreasonable girl, haven't they had trouble with the girls in their family in the past few months, if they don't look at them sensibly here, wouldn't everyone be embarrassed?
Xie Xianzhi was entangled, and could only watch his sister's back leave with worried eyes.
Today is their grandmother's funeral, and Xie Yingzhen, the sister of the second room, did not come with her; Ma Yurong is only an outsider, and it is impossible to accompany her, but the eldest princess of Yongning sent a housekeeper as a representative, and it will be over with incense; Lu Feiyun was still serving the sick elder at home; Zhao Ying wants to prepare for marriage, and it is impossible to attend other people's funerals, and she is tainted with bad luck. Sister Xie Yinghui has only one girl Lu Qi and a maid You Chun borrowed from Ma Yurong by her side, and there is no one else to accompany her, I hope she will not encounter any trouble in this place where the Cao family is everywhere.
Sometimes, the more you worry about something, the more you will come.
Xie Xianzhi finally sent away a few elders who intended to show their care and love in front of many nobles, and was about to look for his sister Xie Yinghui when he heard a scream coming from a distance.
This voice is so familiar, it is clearly his sister Xie Yinghui calling.
Xie Xianzhi immediately took Qingsong to look for him, and met Cao Wentai who rushed over when he heard the sound on the way. Cao Wentai's face was not very good-looking, and he glanced at Xie Xian vigilantly: "Why isn't Cousin Xie by your side?" There are a lot of people today, what is she running around?! ”
Xie Xianzhi didn't have time to quarrel with him, so he only ran in the direction where the voice came from.
Before he could run, he saw You Chun running over with a pale face. He hurriedly asked, "Where is the eldest sister?" What happened?! ”
You Chun reported in a trembling voice: "Young Master Xie, go find the doctor!" Go find our miss! Her Royal Highness the eldest princess brought the imperial doctor with her...... Miss Xie was scalded by the boiling hot tea! ”
Xie Xianzhi's face turned even paler: "How can this be?!" He hurriedly instructed Qing Song behind him, "Go to the eldest princess's courtyard and borrow the imperial doctor!" As soon as Qingsong left, he immediately took You Chun to where his sister was.
Cao Wentai had a gloomy face and followed with his entourage.
Along the way, You Chun explained the situation to Xie Xianzhi: "Miss Xie thinks that there are many people in it, so she went to a secluded and uninhabited place in the courtyard to breathe, but who happened to meet the eldest lady of Pingnanbo Mansion and the eldest lady of Ningguohou Mansion arguing. Miss Xie didn't want to get involved, but who knew that the eldest lady of Pingnanbo's Mansion had to entangle herself with her, and the eldest lady of Ningguohou's Mansion was sneering and sneering on the side, and they all pulled Miss Xie and refused to let her go. The two eldest ladies quarreled and quarreled, and they fought.
"At that time, a little novice passed by with a teapot, and the eldest lady of Pingnanbo's Mansion grabbed the teapot and threw it at the eldest lady of Ningguohou's Mansion. The eldest lady of the Marquis of Ningguo dodged away, but the teapot fell on the eldest lady Xie in the back, burning her hands. It was the tea that the little novice had just brewed, ready to be sent to the front for the guests, and it was the most piping hot......
Xie Xianzhi listened like a knife: "Is it so hot?" Where was Midori at the time?! ”
"Miss Xie sent Lu Qi to find a cushion, but she wasn't ...... at the time" You Chun said this sentence a little weakly. Xie Yinghui would send Lu Qi to run errands instead of letting her go, naturally because she was worried that she was a girl from the Ma family, and it was not good for her to do rough work. And since she got this courtesy, and was ordered by her own young lady Ma Yurong to wait for Xie Yinghui well, when the teapot was thrown at Xie Yinghui, she should have stood in the way. But she didn't do it at the time, after all, Xie Yinghui was not her master, and she hadn't sacrificed her consciousness for outsiders......
You Chun was nervous, and Cao Wentai, who was following behind, had an even more gloomy face. In order to prevent Cao Wenfeng from causing trouble, he specially asked people to arrange a secluded quiet room for her, but she still ran out to provoke right and wrong and injured Xie Yinghui. Whether it was Xie Yinghui who was injured or Cheng Baochuan, who she originally regarded as a target, it was a trouble. Knowing this, my mother really shouldn't have softened her heart and let out the girl who caused trouble!
Before Cao Wentai could finish cursing his cousin in his heart, they had already rushed to the place.
Lu Qi, who rushed back at some time, was carrying a basin of water, asking Xie Yinghui to soak her injured wrist in cold water, and comforting her young lady to endure it in her mouth, and the imperial doctor would come over soon, while directing a few little novices to get clean white cloths and ointments.
Xie Yinghui was already crying all over her face, and when she saw her brother, she couldn't help it anymore, and broke down and cried: "Brother! I'm in so much pain! ”
Xie Xianzhi rushed up to take a closer look at her wrist, it was already a blood-red body, and a large blister was coming out, which was terrifying, just by looking at it, you could imagine how painful she was.
Xie Xianzhi looked left and right with red eyes, and the two girls who were the bane had long since disappeared, obviously running away.
He gritted his teeth and glared at Cao Wentai, who was a little sneering: "I will send someone to find them." This matter is Wen Feng's fault, I will definitely punish her severely, Cousin Xie rest assured. ”
What's the point of punishing people now?
Xie Xianzhi sneered, turned his head and said softly to his sister: "You bear with it, my brother will take you to see the imperial doctor." ”
