Su Ruan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

The old man Qi helped her once, if they really went to the door to thank her, and let the old lady Qi know that he went to the cockfighting ring, the old man was afraid that he would really be kicked out of bed and knocked all over his head.

She didn't want to "take revenge".

Old Madam Xie didn't know Su Ruan's thoughts, and after saying a few words to her, she waved her hand directly when she saw Xie Qingheng with the pestle on the side: "Okay, my brain hurts after a day of trouble, you can go back too, I'll talk about something tomorrow." ”

She looked at Xie Qingheng:

"Didn't you say before that you couldn't come back during this time, and everything about the small test is ready?"

Xie Qingheng nodded and said, "It's ready, I just heard that Xiaoliu is in trouble, so come back and take a look, and I'll go back to China later." ”

Old Madam Xie frowned: "You have to go back so late?" ”

"Well, when I came out, I told my husband that I would go back at night to do a small discussion with them, and the small exam in two days later said that there was a palace exam, and then the emperor may have to personally test our knowledge."

Old Madam Xie listened to Xie Qingheng's words and suddenly condensed: "Since it is so important, then go back early, don't delay the business." ”

Xie Qingheng said: "Okay. ”

……

Mrs. Xie was afraid that she would delay Xie Qingheng's affairs, and there was a curfew in Beijing, so it was not beautiful to walk in the city too late, so she didn't leave Xie Qingheng and the others to eat, and drove them out directly.

After Xie Qingheng and Su Ruan came out of Jintang Courtyard, Su Ruan said, "Big brother, will you leave now?" ”

"There's no hurry."

Xie Qingheng looked at Su Ruan: "When I was in the Cao family, I really just injured my leg, but there were other injuries?" ”

Su Ruan shook his head: "No." ”

Xie Qingheng breathed a sigh of relief and looked at her with a frown: "Did you already know about Xiaoliu and Cao Yu?" ”

Su Ruan paused when he heard this, knowing that he couldn't hide it from Xie Qingheng, so he said in a low voice: "When he was guarding my father's spirit in my yard before, Zhao Zhengqi handed a note in, which mentioned that Cao Yu asked Xiaoliu to meet outside. ”

"Last time, Xiaoliu was bewitched by someone and smashed my father's tablet, I was a little suspicious of Cao Yu, so I had to blackmail Xiaoliu a few words and asked him not to go out to meet Cao Yu."

Xie Qingheng suddenly remembered the words that Xie Qingyang and Su Ruan had argued with the last time he went to Su Ruan's courtyard, "That's when I went to your place last time?" ”

Su Ruan nodded: "En." ”

"Then how do you know about the cockfight?"

Su Ruan said: "It was the third sister who overheard Xiao Liu and Zhao Zhengqi talking, and then told me, I vaguely felt that something was wrong, I was afraid that Xiao Liu would be calculated, so I followed over there, and I met Cao Yu through the cockfight to pit him." ”

"Xiaoliu was calculated twice in a row, I was a little angry, so I beat him, and the eldest brother should know about the later things, I took him to Cao's house to make a fuss."

Su Ruan told the story as it was.

Xie Qingheng saw her reply in a proper manner, but her face was not looking at him, and she was suddenly stunned.

After Su Ruan reacted and was afraid that he had misunderstood something, Xie Qingheng hurriedly said, "Ruan Ruan, I'm not questioning you, I'm just worried about you and Xiaoliu." ”

He softened his voice and said softly:

"Xiaoliu is messing around, if it weren't for you, he wouldn't know how much trouble he would have caused."

"I know you don't seem to like Xiao Liu, but you care about him, if you don't care, you won't be in such a hurry to clean up the mess for him today."

After Xie Qingheng finished speaking, he put his hands on Su Ruan's shoulders and bowed slightly to meet her eye level.

"Nguyen Ruan, thank you."

Su Ruan listened to Xie Qingheng's words before, and thought that he suspected that she had already known about Xie Qingyang's affairs but concealed it, but at this time, listening to him thank her so seriously, Su Ruan softened his eyebrows.

"Big brother doesn't blame me for beating Xiaoliu?"

Xie Qingheng shook his head: "I only blame me for not teaching him a good lesson last time." ”

Su Ruan tilted her head slightly to look at him, and seeing that he looked serious, a smile slowly appeared on her face.

Xie Qingheng saw the smile on her face, and her heart was slightly relieved, so she let go of the hand on her shoulder and stood up straight, walking forward with her.

Su Ruan stepped on the snow in the yard and "creaked": "Has the eldest brother been to see Xiaoliu?" ”

Xie Qingheng pursed his lips when he heard this: "Look, my grandmother didn't let anyone pay attention to him, and my father didn't teach him a lesson, I wanted to beat him, but my grandmother stopped me, and he was afraid that he was kneeling alone in the ancestral hall to ask for guilt." ”

Su Ruan was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and when she realized why Old Madam Xie did this, she smiled lowly.

Xie Qingyang's temperament, just by beating and scolding, he can't always teach him to grow up.

I'm afraid that the injury of the thirty whips last time was not completely healed, and he could provoke this incident, even if he was given another thirty whips and fifty whips this time, he was afraid that he would not be able to remember for long.

Therefore, Mrs. Xie is preparing to find another way, forcing Xie Qingyang to recognize the reality, or to be a complete gentleman, and from then on, no one will control him, eat and drink and wait for death, anyway, the Xie family will raise others.

Either he will completely quit his current stubbornness, so that he will remember today's lesson for the rest of his life and dare not commit it again.

After Su Ruan talked to Xie Qingheng for a while, she saw that the sky was completely dark, and she hurriedly said: "It's not early, big brother hurry up and go back to the prison, or it will be difficult to leave if there is a curfew later." ”

Xie Qingheng saw that she was not in a bad mood, and it was indeed not early at the moment, so he said, "I'll send you back and leave." ”

Su Ruan suddenly smiled: "Big brother, it's very close to my residence, I'll go back by myself, but it's you, you go back quickly, don't delay the business, if you can't answer when the emperor takes the school exam, how embarrassing it will be?" ”

Xie Qingheng glanced at her when he heard this: "Don't worry, I'm not temporary." ”

Seeing that Su Ruan was dressed thinly, it was windy outside.

Xie Qingheng said: "You go first, I'll leave when I see you go back." ”

Su Ruan saw that Xie Qingheng was stubborn, and it was not easy to argue with him, so as not to delay Xie Qingheng's time to go back, so he turned around directly and said, "Then I'll go first, and the eldest brother should leave quickly." ”

Xie Qingheng watched Su Ruan walk towards the courtyard, the distance between the two was getting farther and farther, Xie Qingheng suddenly shouted: "Ruan Ruan." ”

"Huh?"

Su Ruan turned his head, and the beads on his hair shook.

Xie Qingheng said: "Do you remember what I said before? ”

Su Ruan's face was full of doubts: "What words?" ”

Xie Qingheng said: "It's nothing, I just want to say that the future of the Xie family will have me and Cheng'an, you don't have to be careful in everything, take precautions everywhere, I will guard the Xie family and all the people in the Xie family." ”

Su Ruan was stunned when he heard this, and when he saw the young man standing not far away, he had a warm smile on his face when his eyes fell on him.

"Okay."
