"You regard them as your means to achieve things, and even when you were in Juxuanlou, you had already thought about the path you would take every step in the future from the time you first knew the Cao family's methods and met them."

Old Madam Xie looked at her with heavy eyes.

"You calculated everyone, including Xiaoliu, including me."

"Is it in your eyes that anyone and anything is just a means for you to achieve something?"

Su Ruan was stunned in place, facing the disappointed expression of Old Madam Xie, she opened her mouth and said in a low voice:

"Grandmother ......"

She didn't know what to say, as if something was stuck in her throat, and when she met Old Madam Xie's eyes, her heart was even more chaotic.

She has experienced too many things, and her ability to calculate people's hearts has been carved into her bones.

She didn't want to hurt the Xie family, let alone hurt them, even if it was Xie Qingyang, she just wanted him to know the lesson and let him stop being so naïve and stupid in the future.

She just wants to keep the Xie family and the old lady.

She's just ...... It's just that she doesn't like the Cao family, she doesn't like someone to calculate them, she is just used to nagging all the harm in the bud......

She......

Old Madam Xie stood up directly, looked at her and said in a low voice: "You said that everyone in the world calculates, either people count me, or I count people, but Ruan Ruan, in this world, in addition to calculation and use, there are still other things between people. ”

After Mrs. Xie finished speaking, she saw Su Ruan looking up at her, shook her head, and then got up directly and opened the curtain and walked out.

Xie Qingyang was startled when he heard the loud noise coming from inside before, and thought that Old Madam Xie had made a move on Su Ruan, leaning against the curtain and eavesdropping, but he didn't expect Old Madam Xie to open the curtain coldly.

It was too late for him to retreat, and he stood in place helplessly waiting to be trained.

But who would have thought that after Mrs. Xie glanced at him so quietly, she turned around and left.

"Grandmother!"

Xie Qingyang panicked, and hurriedly followed: "Grandmother, I know it's wrong..."

"No, you're not wrong."

Old Madam Xie paused and said to him, "It's always me who is wrong. ”

"I thought that after what happened last time, you would learn to be sensible and learn to be proportionate, and those thirty whips are enough to teach you how to learn how to distinguish between good and evil, and let you grow up, but now it seems that I was wrong, I think too highly of you."

"You don't have to stand here, my Xie family can afford to raise a gentleman, and your business in the future is up to you."

The blood on Xie Qingyang's face instantly receded, and he subconsciously chased after Mrs. Xie.

But Old Madam Xie walked very fast, but after a while, she directly threw him away.

Xie Qingyang stood in the courtyard, looking at the snow on the trees that had not yet melted, and his mind was full of the back of Mrs. Xie who left with disappointment just now, and the words that followed you in her mouth.

The blood all over his body seemed to be eroded by the cold outside, and the whole person stood there in a daze, so cold that even his heart seemed to be stagnant.

……

After Old Madam Xie left, Xie Yuan looked at Su Ruan, who was kneeling on the ground with a blank face, and said, "Your grandmother is gone, get up." ”

Su Ruan didn't move.

Xie Yuan frowned and stepped forward to help her, and directly pulled her up.

"It's cold in winter, and the ground is hard and panicked."

"I just saw that your leg movement is wrong, is it injured?"

Xie Yuan thought about taking care of Su Ruan's injury, and just as he was about to squat down, he remembered that Su Ruan was a girl's family, and there was a layer between them.

The two had not spoken for a long time since Chen's illness that night.

Xie Yuan stood up and said, "You sit here for a while, and I'll ask someone to ask the doctor to come over." ”

Su Ruan raised his eyes and glanced at him.

Xie Yuan pulled her aside and sat down.

Seeing Su Ruan's eyes down and silent, Xie Yuan was just thinking about whether to open his mouth to comfort her, Su Ruan suddenly raised his eyes and said, "I don't want to listen to people's preaching." ”

Xie Yuan choked, "I didn't want to preach." ”

Su Ruan looked at him with a straight look in his eyes.

Xie Yuan immediately remembered the words that night when he wanted Su Ruan to admit his mistake, and Old Madam Xie scolded him with her head and face.

He suddenly stopped talking, got up and said, "I know you don't want to see me, but Su Ruan, I don't want to hurt you." ”

He paused, and saw that Su Ruan was still looking at him like that and was silent.

Xie Yuan sighed, "Okay, don't look at me, the people who watch are flustered." You sit here for a while, and I'll ask the doctor to come over. ”

After Xie Yuan finished speaking, he came out directly from inside, and after lifting the curtain, he saw that there was no trace of Xie Qingyang outside.

He also thought about teaching Xie Qingyang a lesson, but was stopped by Mother Liu and did not let him see Xie Qingyang, and even Mother Liu said that as ordered by Mrs. Xie, no one in the house was allowed to care about Xie Qingyang's affairs.

Xie Yuan was puzzled, and looked at Xie Qingyang, who was standing in the courtyard like a stone, and his eyebrows were twisted together: "No matter?" ”

"Well, the old lady said, let the sixth prince wake up his mind."

After Mother Liu finished speaking, seeing that Xie Yuan was puzzled, she smiled and comforted:

"Master Hou, don't worry, the old lady has her own success in doing things, she just wants to make the sixth prince better."

Xie Yuan frowned, remembering that Old Madam Xie had the same temperament, he didn't ask any more questions, but turned around and went to find someone in the house, and asked the doctor to come over to see Su Ruan's injury, but he didn't expect that when the doctor came, Su Ruan was gone.

……

Su Ruan went back to the side of the cross-courtyard, changed her clothes and cleaned up her body, and after letting Cai Qian stop Xie Huan and Xie Jinyue and others, who wanted to comfort her, she squatted under the eaves behind the cross-courtyard in a daze.

Cai Qian looked at her back and forth several times, and each time Su Ruan kept the same posture and squatted there, looking at the snow under the plum tree next to her.

Cai Qian was afraid that she would catch a cold, so she went to have someone make a brazier and bring it over, and was about to ask Su Ruan Cheng'er to go out with her, why didn't she come back together, but she saw Su Ruan squatting under the eaves gone.

"Miss?"

After Cai Qian put down the brazier, he hurriedly looked around, but Su Ruan didn't know where he went.

……

Su Ruan squatted there and thought about it for a long time, but he was still at a loss in his heart.

She didn't know what Old Madam Xie was angry with her.

She calculated the Cao family and took advantage of those people, but her purpose was good, wasn't it?

She is used to having everything in her own hands, and she is also used to using everything around her to achieve her desired goals.

She has never hurt them, not even to use them.

But why is Old Madam Xie angry?

Su Ruan squatted there and thought about it for a long time without figuring it out, and finally slipped out of the mansion directly.

She was wrapped in a cloak and walked around outside, her mind was always about the words that Old Madam Xie had said before, and when she came back to her senses, when she raised her eyes, she found that she had unconsciously walked to the gate of the Qi family.

Su Ruan looked at the familiar gate and was momentarily stunned, woke up and hurriedly pulled the cloak to cover his face, turned around and wanted to leave.

But I didn't want Qi Wenfu, who had just come back from work over there, and lifted the curtain and got out of the carriage, and saw her at a glance.

"Su Ruan?"
