Su Ruan's heart ached, and his face turned pale.

She owes the Xie family in the end.

"Su Ruan!"

There was a shout behind him.

After Xie Qingheng finished talking to Old Lady Xie and Xie Yuan, he hurriedly came out of Jintang Courtyard, looked around and found a figure not far away that had not left.

He hurriedly shouted and ran towards Su Ruan quickly.

When Su Ruan turned around, Xie Qingheng had already approached, and what he originally wanted to say suddenly paused when he saw Su Ruan's pale face, and said in a condensed voice: "What's wrong with you, your face is so ugly?" ”

Su Ruan shook his head: "It's okay, it's just a little cold." The eldest prince told me something? ”

Xie Qingheng only felt harsh when he heard her address, and looked at her with a frown: "You just called me eldest brother." ”

Su Ruan raised her eyes to look at him, originally wanting to say that she was just looking at Old Madam Xie's face and didn't want to disappoint her.

But suddenly remembered what happened before, and Xie Qingheng, who should have been high-spirited in the previous life, but was ridiculed for being frustrated, appeared in front of him.

At that time, he was tossed and framed by her several times, and although he never restrained his younger siblings, he never attacked her.

She still remembers that the fifty boards folded his body full of sharpness, which made the young man who should have been bright dyed gloomy, and before going to the border pass, he still said coldly, waiting for him to save enough military merits to return to revive the reputation of the Hou Mansion, but then there was no more, he was directly questioned at the border pass, and he didn't even have time to return to Beijing.

Su Ruan suddenly lost the mind to argue with him, and called out obediently: "Big brother." ”

The girl's voice is soft and thin, and although she speaks quietly, it makes people feel soft and good.

Xie Qingheng's eyebrows suddenly relaxed, and he said to her, "When I was inside just now, thank you for thinking for me." ”

Su Ruan said: "I'm just a coincidence, and besides, even if there is no me, grandmother and Hou Ye will find a way to avoid this matter for you." ”

Xie Qingheng's voice was slightly deep: "It's different." ”

It's really different.

Grandmother and father thought of a way for him, that was because they were close relatives, his future relationship with the Hou Mansion, the relationship with the Xie family, grandmother always wanted him to take the best path, so they tried their best to make him flat under his feet.

But Su Ruan is different.

He had felt sorry for her before, and even if she really didn't help him, no one could say anything about her.

Xie Qingheng couldn't help pursing his lips when he thought of this, with a little twist and embarrassment in his eyes.

"Ruan Ruan, I'm sorry for what happened before."

He thought it would be difficult to speak, but when he actually said it, he found that it was not that difficult.

Maybe Su Ruan was willing to help him just now, or maybe it was the girl's quietness that gave him courage.

Xie Qingheng looked at Su Ruan and said:

"I used to think that you were too noisy, and I was afraid that you still had hatred for your father, if you let you enter the second room, I was afraid that you would take the opportunity to embarrass Qingyang and them."

"Qingyang and Xie Huan have grown up in the nest of blessings since they were children, and they have never experienced any ups and downs, they are not as good as you, and they are more likely to suffer, I am afraid that they will have a dispute with you and the trouble will be out of control, so I ...... it."

Xie Qingheng paused, and saw Su Ruan looking up at him, his apricot eyes were as clear as water, and they were full of his reflections.

He suddenly couldn't speak, and always felt that the more he said it, the more wrong it became, as if what he said just now was saying that Su Ruan had experienced too much and was extremely ruthless.

He directly changed the topic and said, "After your father's sacrifice, can I take you out to watch the trick?" ”

Su Ruan was stunned, but she didn't expect Xie Qingheng to propose to take her out to play, she remembered that all the children of the Xie family in the previous life didn't like her, let alone take her out with her.

At that time, she was an outlier in the Xie family.

Xie Qingheng saw that Su Ruan didn't speak, thinking that she was going to refuse, so he hurriedly said: "It's not what I meant, it's my classmate, he said that there was a juggling team in Beijing, and the tricks in it were particularly interesting, so he invited a few of our friends to watch it together." ”

"He has a younger sister in his family, and it is somewhat inconvenient for us to go with us alone, so let's also call the woman in the house, I think you haven't gone out much since you came to Beijing, so I asked if you want to go with you."

Su Ruan looked at Xie Qingheng's jaw tightened, his palms clenched slightly into fists, and although he said that he didn't want to go, he was staring at her tightly, as if he was afraid that she would refuse.

She tilted her head slightly and said, "Just me?" ”

"No, there is Xie Huan."

Xie Qingheng only felt a little nervous after finishing speaking: "Are you going?" ”

Su Ruan looked at his nervous face tense, staring at herself for a moment, she thought for a while and said, "Grandmother said that she would take me to celebrate Princess Anyang's birthday, I'm afraid there will be a conflict in time......"

She remembered that Mrs. Xie said that Princess Anyang's birthday happened to be on the second day of her filial piety.

"No!"

Xie Qingheng hurriedly said, "I'll let Pei Dazhuang ...... No, I'm a classmate, and I'll ask my classmate to postpone the time by a day. ”

"Won't it be a hassle?"

"Of course not, it's just to watch juggling, any day, and Princess Anyang's birthday, I'm afraid I'm going to go to my classmate's mansion, and when his sister can't get out of the house, he will naturally move the days of juggling backwards, and it's not troublesome at all."

Even if there is real trouble, it is not a problem.

If Pei Dazhuang doesn't agree, it's a big deal to clean him up!

Xie Qingheng didn't wait for Su Ruan to speak again, and said directly: "Don't worry, the time will not conflict, when the time comes, I will tell my classmate to ask him to delay the time, and then you will go with me." ”

"That's it!"

After he finished speaking, he didn't give Su Ruan a chance to refuse, so he turned around and strode away.

"I heard my grandmother say, you have moved here to live in the courtyard, go back quickly, it will be cold outside, so as not to get cold. I'll go first, and I'll look for you when the time comes. ”

"Big brother."

Su Ruan opened his mouth, and just wanted to stop Xie Qingheng, he saw that Xie Qingheng was a little faster, and in a blink of an eye, he had already reached the end of the trail, as if he was afraid that she would call him back, and he looked very self-deceiving.

She was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but chuckle out loud.

This Xie Qingheng, is he afraid that she will refuse?

Su Ruan shook her head with a smile, her originally heavy mood suddenly improved, she glanced in the direction Xie Qingheng left, and then turned around with a smile and walked towards the side of the courtyard.

……

After Su Ruan left, Xie Qingheng turned his head and walked out from behind the tree at the end of the path.

Seeing Su Ruan's somewhat thin back disappear into the night, he couldn't help but raise his lips and show a big smile.

So, she's still pretty coaxing......

After winning the first battle, Xie Qingheng was already thinking about the method that Pei Dazhuang said before, he touched his purse, thinking that he would go to Chengyue Tower tomorrow, and heard that the beaded jewelry there was the most beautiful.

Why don't you go buy some?
