I dress up as a poor noblewoman, and I bring my whole family home with my literary talent.

Chapter 50 Holiday 12 Self-indulgent
Xiao Xuan's crying stopped abruptly
She covered her face in disbelief. Her mother actually hit her? Although her mother was strict, she was quite lenient with her daughter. Now she hit her in the outer mansion! The more she thought about it, the sadder she became. She cried like rain and her heart was broken.

Madam Xiao grabbed Xiao Xuan's collar and pulled him closer, her eyes cold, "Idiot!"

Xiao Xuan was somewhat afraid of the angry Madam Xiao, sobbing, "Mother... I was just angry for a moment..."

"How stupid!" Madam Xiao said angrily, "If you don't like her, you can just deal with it privately. Why did you do it in public? Now everyone knows that it was you who scared that girl's horse. How will others look at you! How will they look at our Xiao family!"

Xiao Xuan's face turned pale, and he still wanted to argue: "The Song family is just a poor family. How could the Wu'an Marquis' Mansion blame the Xiao family for a poor family? If you want to blame someone, blame her for being shameless and seducing the young marquis!"

"Shut up! Have I ever taught you that you can be arrogant and domineering, but you must never let anyone get hold of you! Do you really need to teach a little girl a lesson?!"

Madam Xiao released the hand that was restraining Xiao Xuan's clothes and pushed him away. "Whether you are willing or not, whether you are sincere or not, go and apologize to that girl!"

After saying this, he left Xiao Xuan sobbing on the spot and walked away.

…………

The maid from Wu'an Marquis's Mansion took Zhao Yinxian and Song Lingyi to the side room to wash and apply medicine.

Song Lingyi only had a few scratches on her arms, which were fine after a simple application of medicine.

When she came out, she saw Xie Yanshu waiting across the corridor from afar. The young man was leaning against the stone pillar of the corridor, with the sunlight shining on him, making him shine brightly.

Song Lingyi glanced sideways at the room where Zhao Yinxian was, with a heavy heart, and walked silently in another direction.

Xie Yanshu caught a glimpse of Song Lingyi leaving the room but not taking the shortest path through the yard. He quickly chased after her, turned around and faced her, walking backwards.

"Miss Song, is your injury better after applying the medicine?"

Song Lingyi lowered her head, not looking at him, and said calmly, "Better now."

Noticing that she was a little depressed, Xie Yanshu thought that the incident at the polo field had ruined her mood, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I invited you here, but this happened."

"Don't worry, I will ask my mother to talk to the Xiao family and ask Miss Xiao to apologize to you."

Song Lingyi paused and looked up at Xie Yanshu. She really didn't know whether Young Marquis Xie was simple-minded and didn't know Xiao Xuan's feelings for him, or whether he didn't care about this feeling at all. If she forced Xiao Xuan to apologize to her, she didn't know how he would play a trick on her next time.

"No need for that. She and I are disgusted with each other. She won't sincerely apologize to me." Song Lingyi said.

The long inner corridor is winding and secluded, and a boy and a girl are standing under a flowering tree.

Xie Yanshu said: "Then...then will you go back to the polo field?"

Song Lingyi nodded, her fourth sister was still there.

"You are a newcomer to Xiangyuan, so you may not know the way. Shall I take you there?" Xie Yanshu said with a smile.

Song Lingyi's face was cold and she suddenly asked, "Why?"

Xie Yanshu was puzzled, "Why?"

The next line was somewhat embarrassing, but in order to avoid suspicion in the future, she gritted her teeth and said, "I have only met the young marquis a few times, but I always feel that the young marquis treats me with more than just friendship."

Xie Yanshu was called out on his thoughts and scratched his head shyly.
Song Lingyi continued, "Maybe I am too self-indulgent. Please don't do anything that may cause misunderstanding in the future, young marquis." "No," Xie Yanshu didn't expect Song Lingyi to think this way, and he stammered, "I...actually...to you..."

"Little Marquis"

Song Lingyi suddenly raised her voice, interrupting Xie Yanshu's words, and said sternly: "Young Marquis, thank you for inviting me to the polo club, but as you can see, I am just the daughter of an ordinary family, and the Song family can't afford any trouble. The young marquis has a distinguished family background, and he will definitely marry a woman of equal status in the future, so why bother with...her."

A cool breeze blew by, and petals of spring colors fell from the trees, some pink, some white, and some deep rouge, falling on the clothes and shoulders of the two. Their eyes met, and through the gentle petals and breeze, Xie Yanshu felt that the girl in front of him was strange and distant.

"cough!"

A clear cough came from the inner corridor

Breaking the silence between the two, Song Lingyi took a half step back to distance herself from Xie Yanshu, then looked back.

Zhao Yinxian had stood in the inner corridor without knowing when, looking a little embarrassed, and quickly explained: "I didn't mean to eavesdrop. You two couldn't find a secluded place to talk. I had nowhere to hide when I opened the door and came out."

Silence spread among the three people
Song Lingyi spoke first: "I have to go back to the polo field to find my fourth sister, so I'll leave first." After that, without waiting for the other two to react, she lifted her skirt and ran out of the yard.

The remaining two looked at each other in silence.
Zhao Yinxian crossed her arms, and said with some joy in her tone: "Xie Yanshu, look how clear-headed the girl is. Your aunt will not allow you to marry a girl whose family does not even have a fifth-rank official rank."

Xie Yanshu was now upset and ignored her and left the yard.

Flowers and trees line the path, and maids occasionally pass by on the path
Song Lingyi walked towards the polo field based on her memory. After walking for a while, she came to a pavilion. The pavilion was about four meters high, with locust trees growing on both sides. The gravel road under the pavilion was swept clean, without a single fallen leaf.

When she got here, Song Lingyi, who was already somewhat directionally challenged, was completely lost.
A maid happened to pass by with a fruit plate. Just as she was about to ask for directions, she heard a scream in the air:
"what--"

Then, there was the sound of flesh hitting the ground.

The noise was so loud that Song Lingyi and the young maid were frightened for a moment. They were stunned for a long time before they reacted and went to check what was going on.

After Song Lingyi came back to her senses, she looked up at the second floor of the building and saw a white figure walking into the building, but it disappeared in an instant. She felt something was wrong, and she was afraid that this was not an ordinary accident.

The two approached the person who fell from the building and found that it was Xiao Xuan
The maid wanted to turn the person over, but Song Lingyi stopped her, "Don't move!"

The maid's shoulders trembled, and her hands froze in mid-air, not daring to make any rash moves.

"If you move, it might aggravate her injuries!"

"Then...what should we do?"

"I'll go call someone, and you go find a doctor." Song Lingyi was shocked and scared, but still calm, and she and the maid went their separate ways.

Now she needed help, so she went to the polo field. Halfway there, she met Xie Yanshu and Zhao Yinxian.
The two walked side by side towards the polo field, bickering as they walked.

"Young Marquis! Miss Zhao!"

If possible, Song Lingyi didn't want to disturb them, but now the situation was urgent and she couldn't care less.

They both turned back
When Xie Yanshu saw Song Lingyi, he was subconsciously happy, but when he thought of what she said in the wing courtyard, the light in his eyes dimmed.
