Xie Qingheng asked a series of questions, and Su Ruan didn't know which one to answer first for a while.

She opened her mouth, waiting for a reply.

Xie Qingheng frowned at her flushed face blown by the cold wind, and directly stretched out his hand to pull her towards the house.

"Forget it, we'll talk about it later, let's go into the house."

"On such a cold day, you wear so thin clothes to go out, and you are not afraid of freezing yourself."

"Mother Liu, go and make a soup for Ruan Ruan, and let the kitchen boil some ginger soup......"

Seeing Xie Qingheng's frowning appearance, Su Ruan hurriedly tugged on his sleeve: "Big brother, no need." ”

"Nothing."

Xie Qingheng couldn't help glaring at her, "You lost your physical foundation in Jingnan before, and the doctor also said that you should raise more, and it is hard to look better during this time, in case you get frostbite again, should you be fun?" ”

After saying that, he raised his head and urged:

"Mother Liu, why don't you go soon? Remember to ask the kitchen to add some red dates to the ginger soup. ”

Mother Liu hurriedly responded: "Yes, the slave will go." ”

Xie Qingheng saw Liu's mother turn around and retreat, so he pulled Su Ruan directly into the upper room, and when the warm curtain was lowered, a wave of heat rushed to his face.

There was a charcoal basin burning in the room, and there were blooming plum blossoms on the table, and a faint fragrance permeated the whole room.

Old Madam Xie sat on the soft couch with a slightly gloomy face, while Chen and Wang sat on the embroidered pier in front of the couch.

When he saw Su Ruan coming in, Chen quickly got up and called "Ruan Ruan" with a worried face.

Wang also got up: "Where did this cold day go?" Why don't you say hello to the house when you go out, you don't know that your eldest brother and grandmother are about to break down, and they are almost going to report to the official! ”

Old Madam Xie listened to Wang's exaggerated words, took the melon seeds on the table and threw them at her: "If you don't speak, no one will treat you as a dumb person!" ”

After she finished scolding, she glanced at Su Ruan, her lips moved as if she wanted to say something, but she suddenly turned her head away, and her fingers clasped the tuanhua pillow beside her, and pulled at the peony flowers embroidered on it.

Su Ruan stood there and explained in a low voice:

"Auntie, I just couldn't figure out some things, so I went out for a walk, but I didn't expect to be late after a delay on the road."

Fu said to Mrs. Xie again:

"I'm sorry grandmother, I didn't mean to, next time I go out, I'll tell the house."

Old Madam Xie listened to Su Ruan's words, and saw her obedient appearance with her eyebrows lowered, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then said with a bit of a hard mouth: "You don't say it's your business, no one forces you." ”

"Grandmother."

Xie Qingheng glanced at Old Madam Xie a little helplessly.

Who heard that Su Ruan was missing just now, thinking that she ran away from home in a daze, and she hadn't come back for so long, something happened outside, and she was clamoring to go out to find someone?

Old Madam Xie was looked at by him, glanced at her a little unhappily, and snorted lowly.

Xie Qingheng said to Su Ruan: "It's not that we won't let you out of the house, it's just that it's already dark outside, and you didn't take the maid ring with you when you went out, and you didn't even sit in the carriage, if it wasn't for the people at the concierge who said that they saw you out of the house, we would have thought you disappeared out of thin air." ”

"During this period of time, Beijing is not peaceful, although it is said that it is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, but it is difficult to guarantee that there are no people who take risks."

"If you want to go out next time, remember to bring your two maid rings and call the people in the house, so as not to worry about grandmother."

Su Ruan listened to Xie Qingheng's words and responded in a low voice: "I know." ”

Xie Qingheng patted the top of her hair, and then said to Old Madam Xie, "Grandmother, don't be angry. ”

"It's freezing outside, she ran out for so long and I don't know if she got cold, and I saw that her legs and feet were a little wrong when she was walking just now, I'm afraid she was still hurt, so you forgave her this time, I think Ruan Ruan also knew that it was wrong."

As he spoke, Xie Qingheng reached out and nudged Su Ruan and gave her a look.

Su Ruan immediately spoke: "Grandmother, I was wrong..."

Old Madam Xie raised her head and glared at Xie Qingheng: "You know how to protect her!" ”

Xie Qingheng smiled lightly: "Didn't grandmother also protect her?" Ruan Ruan is sensible, since she knows that she is wrong, you can forgive her this time, and if she dares to do it again next time, I will teach her a lesson for you. ”

Su Ruan pursed her mouth, pitiful: "Grandmother ......"

Old Madam Xie was soft-hearted by what she called, and she couldn't harden her heart when she looked at her moist eyes, so she could only glance at Xie Qingheng fiercely, and then said with a straight face:

"Don't call me, don't you say you're right? You were so arrogant to talk back to me before! ”

Su Ruan hurriedly stepped forward and stretched out his hand to hook Mrs. Xie's sleeve weakly: "I was wrong, I shouldn't talk back to you, let alone listen to you, I know that my grandmother feels sorry for me." ”

She shook Old Madame's sleeve.

"I know it's wrong, grandmother, you have a lot of them, so spare me this time."

As he spoke, Su Ruan stretched out his hand and raised three fingers, "I swear, I won't make you angry next time." ”

Su Ruan hooked Old Madam Xie's sleeve with one hand and dangled it, and with the other hand he held his fingers up, his eyes wide and he tried to please Old Madam Xie.

Old Madam Xie was already out of breath, and she also regretted that she had said too much before.

At this time, I was teased by her like this, and even the only bit of anger I had left was gone.

Old Madam Xie reached out and removed Su Ruan's hand that was holding her sleeve, and said with a straight face.

"You're just going to eat you!"

Su Ruan hurriedly grinned and showed a well-behaved smile: "Grandmother is the best." ”

Old Madam Xie glared at her, and then said, "Does your leg still hurt?" ”

Su Ruan nodded hurriedly: "It hurts." ”

"You deserve the pain, who told you that a little girl ran to make trouble in front of someone's house, and she didn't even have an entourage, if I didn't go fast, you might have to break your leg, where is there a chance to call it pain here!"

Mrs. Xie said ruthlessly, but she dragged her to sit directly on the couch beside her, and then asked the maid who was guarding next to her to go to her room to get the medicinal oil for bruises.

The Wang family originally stayed here to wait and see the excitement, after all, at this time, Su Ruan took Xie Qingyang to make trouble with the Cao family, and even with the eldest prince who also tore his face, after an afternoon, the people in the house already knew.

After the Wang family heard that Mrs. Xie scolded Su Ruan and Su Ruan "ran away in a negative mood", he hurriedly came to the Jintang Courtyard, thinking that if Su Ruan fell out of favor with the old lady, her Jiaojiao would have a chance to win the eyes of the old lady and get Su Ruan's previous treatment.

But who would have thought that this Su Ruan came back, and without a few words of scolding, he coaxed Mrs. Xie, who was unhappy just now, back.
