After a little hesitation, Zhou Nian threw out the next question, "The second question, why do you have to pretend to be very weak when your condition has improved just now? Could it be that you don't want your family to know that you are well?"

Hearing this question, the look in Xiao Wanqing's eyes suddenly dimmed, her hands crossed under her head, and she stared at the ceiling above her head, "Alas, I have my troubles. ”

"Bitterness, what hardship?"

"As the eldest lady of the Xiao family, I am suffering. ”

"Huh?" Zhou Nian opened his mouth a little surprised, the young ladies in the big family are all clothes to stretch their hands, food to open their mouths, food and clothing are worry-free, people are serving, there is food and drink to moisturize well, what can they have?

Xiao Wanqing tilted her head and glanced at Zhou Nian's back, "Hey, are you thinking that the young ladies in the big family are all pampered and have a happy life?"

"Isn't it?"

"Cut, do you think that the young ladies in the big family are so good? With the mission of the family and the responsibility of the prosperity of the family, many things will be involuntarily self-conscious, if there is a chance, I would rather not be born in a rich family. ”

Zhou Nian was a little contemptuous when he heard this, "Hey, you dislike a rich life like this, and you are heard by those poor people who don't have enough food and clothing, and you can probably be drowned by spitting stars." ”

"Hmph, drown, drown, they don't understand the situation, they will only chew their tongues. Snorted coldly, Xiao Wanqing, a noble lady with a high status, actually has her own little temper, which is very shameful.

Zhou Nian was curious, "Then what made you deliberately hide your illness?"

Xiao Wanqing suddenly sat up after hearing this, and she didn't know where she got the strength, so she couldn't help clenching her fists, "If my family knows that I am sick, they will definitely force me to marry." ”

"Marry?" Zhou Nian seemed to understand a little, and asked lightly, "You deliberately concealed your illness just to avoid a family affair?"

"Yes, if it weren't for my illness, I'm afraid I would have been married off by them a long time ago. ”

Zhou Nian frowned and said, "With your Xiao family's status in the City of Water, your dignified Xiao family's eldest lady actually doesn't have the right to refuse?"

Xiao Wanqing shook her head and sighed, "Alas, there is no way, this family affair belongs to the family marriage, with the order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, I can't refuse at all, besides, the other party's family power is too great, far more than our Xiao family, to put it bluntly, our Xiao family can't afford to offend." ”

"Too much power? Can't afford to offend?" Zhou Nian lowered his head and pondered for a while, with his understanding of the Xiao family, he quickly guessed the origin of the other party, "Hey, the family you want to marry in the past, it shouldn't be the Michelle family, right?"

Xiao Wanqing was stunned, "You also know the Michelle family?"

Zhou Nian said helplessly, "Hey, no matter what I say, I've been in the City of Water for a long time, if I don't even know this, wouldn't I be a big fool?"

"Poof", Xiao Wanqing couldn't help laughing again, the young man in front of her was very different from those who had met in the past, he was simply maverick, very fresh, it seemed that no matter how he spoke in front of him, he could let go of it unscrupulously.

Zhou Nian asked, "Hey, who is in the Michelle family you want to marry?"

Xiao Wanqing's expression became cold, and her voice suddenly became a little cold, "Michelle, Yan Dan." ”

"Ha, Yan Dan, that gentleman who married the wife of the tenth aunt, a big fat man of more than 300 pounds?"

"You...... Do you know him?"

"Ouch, what a flower stuck in cow dung!"

"You don't care about this for now, do you know him?"

Zhou Nian smiled bitterly, "Hehe, not only do I know, I also kicked him several times." ”

"What!"

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Wanqing's pupils dilated, if it weren't for the fact that her body was too weak, she would almost jump up from the bed!

The pink fist suddenly clenched, Xiao Wanqing didn't know whether she was anxious or angry, and shouted loudly with all her might, "You...... You don't want to die! How dare you hit the Michelle family?"

Zhou Nian raised his eyebrows, "Oh?

"How could it be! I wish you could kill him so I don't have to marry him. ”

Zhou Nian, "......"

After being silent for a moment, Xiao Wanqing continued, "That, you...... Why do you have a conflict with the Michelle family?"

"Why else, can't you get used to it?"

"Can't get used to it?"

"Yes, because he bullied a friend of mine and touched my scales!"

"Then how did you kick him?" Contrary to Zhou Nian's expectations, Xiao Wanqing suddenly said this.

"Huh?" Zhou Nian opened his mouth slightly, listening to the other party's tone, something was not quite right, and couldn't help asking, "Hey, why do you sound so happy about this?"

"I ...... Where do I have it, I'm just curious about how the people of the Michelle family could be beaten by you. Xiao Wanqing muttered quietly, being seen through her mind, and her confidence was obviously insufficient.

Zhou Nian said lightly, "You will understand the specific reason later, but now, my question has been asked, and it is time to let your family in." ”

"Wait!"

"What's wrong?"

Xiao Wanqing turned the hair in her ear, and her voice was as small as a mosquito humming, "Well, can you not let my family know that my illness is cured first, otherwise they will force me to marry again." ”

"You want me to hide it for you?"

"Yes...... Is that okay?"

"Hmm...... Okay, but in that case, you owe me two favors, and you should remember to pay it back. ”

After Zhou Nian finished speaking, he no longer hesitated, and was about to open the door.

"Wait!" Xiao Wanqing stopped him again, as if she still had something to ask.

"What's wrong again?" Zhou Nian stopped.

"That, I...... I haven't seen what my benefactor looks like, and if I'm fully recovered, I'll repay you, can you turn around and let me see you?"

"Oh. ”

Zhou Nian muttered, then slowly turned around.

Just seeing the real person, Xiao Wanqing's brows couldn't help frowning slightly, "Hey, aren't you quite handsome?"

Zhou Nian said lightly, "You look handsome and can't eat it as a meal." ”

"Then why are you turning your back on me?"

Zhou Nian explained, "Although you have just recovered from a serious illness, the cold in your body has not been completely cleared, and the poison of cold is very likely to be transmitted to others through the mouth. ”

"Oh, I see. Xiao Wanqing nodded as if she had realized something, and when her smart eyes fell on the back of the young man in front of her, she couldn't help but ask again, "That, after taking care of my illness, will you still stay in the Xiao family?"

"Well......" Zhou Nian hesitated slightly, "It depends, I also have my own things to do." ”

"Oh, that's it......" For some reason, when she heard Zhou Nian say this, Xiao Wanqing's heart inexplicably rose a little disappointed.

After three years of illness, Zhou Nian was the first confidant to talk to her very happily, in case he left, Xiao Wanqing always felt as if she had lost something in her heart.

Xu is aware of Xiao Wanqing's disappointment, Zhou Nian said slowly, "Don't worry, I will stay in the Xiao family until your condition is fully recovered." ”

"Really?" A hint of brilliance flashed in her pupils, and Xiao Wanqing seemed to see a glimmer of hope again.

Zhou Nian chuckled, "Hehe, of course it's true. ”

"Then let's pull the hook. ”

"Huh?" Zhou Nian was stunned, "We're not children anymore, can I still lie to you?"

Xiao Wanqing said with a straight face, "Don't talk nonsense, come over and pull the hook." ”

"Alas......"

Sighing, Zhou Nian walked to the side of the bed with a helpless face.

"Pull the hook, hang yourself, and you won't change for a hundred years. ”

"Satisfied?"

"Hmph, I'm only satisfied if you do it. ”

"Then I'll call your family now. ”

"Then I'll continue to feign illness. ”

Xiao Wanqing didn't say anything more, she lay on the bed very quickly, her sick and crooked appearance came as soon as she said it, and her acting skills were very exquisite.

"Alas, talent. ”

Sighing helplessly, Zhou Nian pushed the door out.

"Master Zhou, is my granddaughter really okay?"

As soon as he walked to the door, Xiao Changsheng immediately jumped out like a rabbit, and must have heard about the situation inside from Ping'er, so he hurriedly confirmed it with Zhou Nian.

Zhou Nian said with a flat face, "Old lady, Miss Xiao's illness has been cured, but her current body is too weak and needs a long period of recuperation. ”

"Oh, okay, okay, hurry up, Su'er, Yue'e, come in with me. ”

The three of them quickly entered the house and went straight to Xiao Wanqing's bed.

On the wide bed, Xiao Wanqing's ability to pretend to be sick is really first-class, her face is pale, her brows are furrowed, if it weren't for Zhou Nian saying that she was well, the Xiao family would really think that this was a terminally ill struggle before death.

"Qing'er, open your eyes and see, I'm my mother. Yue'e was worried about her daughter, so she was the first to call.

But she asked three or five times, but no one picked up the stubble, which made her anxious, and quickly turned her head to look at Zhou Nian, "Master, my daughter is ...... Why didn't she wake up?"

Zhou Nian said calmly, "Madam, please rest assured, as long as the ice wall in Miss Xiao's body is broken, it will be a matter of time before she wakes up, and the patient is recovering from a serious illness, there must be a slow process of awakening, I hope you don't be too anxious." ”

"But I ......"

"Okay, okay, even the master said so, what kind of heart do you have?" Xiao Su pulled his daughter-in-law aside, walked over and hugged his fist towards Zhou Nian, and said with a smile, "Hehe, Master Zhou, I really don't know how to repay you now, otherwise, tell me what you want, as long as our Xiao family can do it, you can mention it, we have nothing to say." ”

"Yes, yes, yes. Xiao Changsheng also stepped over, and echoed casually, "Master Zhou, if you have any requirements, just mention it, whether it is to go up to the Sword Mountain or to go down to the Sea of Fire, even if it is to pick the moon in the sky, our Xiao family is not ambiguous!"

The corners of his eyes trembled slightly, and Zhou Nian said slowly, "Old lady, before I put forward my wish, there is one thing we still have to do as soon as possible. ”

"Oh, what's the matter?"

"Hehe, wasn't there a little maid in this room who was frozen before, and we should go and save her now. ”

"Oh, yes, yes!" Xiao Changsheng slapped his head, immersed in the joy of his granddaughter's recovery, and almost forgot about the little maid, and hurriedly said, "It's still the master who thinks thoughtfully, you are invited quickly!"

After speaking, he stepped out of the door and led Zhou Nian to the courtyard of the Xiao family.
