Chapter 275 Not Where You Came

"Miss, why did you let the general go? Seeing that the cousin called the general away at this time, the servant clearly has ulterior motives!"

In the Lotus Fragrance Courtyard, Zhu Yun helped Xiao Ruan to bed, but his tone was extremely disapproving.

It was already dead of night at this time, but Su Qingqing went straight here to call the door regardless, pretending that there was a ghost in the room as an excuse, and asked Huo Xun to help her find out.

Dingguohou's Mansion is a mansion bestowed by the emperor. They have lived here for a long time and have never heard of any ghosts. Su Qingqing used such an excuse, and everyone could tell the truth from the fake at a glance.

Everyone was waiting to see Su Qingqing make a fool of herself, but Huo Xun unexpectedly left Hexiangyuan to follow her to check on the ghosts!
I don't know what the other servants are thinking, but Zhuyun hates Su Qingqing deeply.

"Miss, you lie down and rest first, this servant is going to invite the general back, we can't let that little goblin seduce the general away under our noses!"

After Xiao Ruan was settled, Zhuyun was about to go out as soon as he rolled his eyes.

"No need."

Just as Zhuyun turned around, she was stopped by Xiao Ruan.Immediately, he turned his head and showed an extremely puzzled expression: "Miss, why do you..."

"If the general really cares about me, he will naturally know what to do. If he doesn't care, what can you do if you call him back? You go down first, I want to stay alone for a while."

Xiao Ruan's voice was indifferent, his face was hidden in the shadows and he couldn't see clearly.Zhuyun was in a hurry, so it was hard to persuade her like this, so she had to retreat first.

The north wind howled at night, and occasionally the sound of firecrackers could be heard in the distance.

Xiao Ruan put her hands on her lower abdomen to feel the fetal movement of the little life inside, but what appeared in her mind was the scene when Huo Xun left just now.

Su Qingqing shouted eagerly outside the door, before Huo Xun waited for her to finish speaking, he asked someone to invite Su Qingqing in to ask what happened.

Su Qingqing is like a child who is ignorant of the world, and she doesn't seem to know the defense between men and women at all, and she doesn't know how unethical her behavior is.Regardless of Xiao Ruan's presence, as soon as he came in, he threw himself into Huo Xun's arms and hugged his waist tightly, never letting go.

A face was pressed tightly against Huo Xun's chest, and she said with teary eyes: "Brother Xun, there is a ghost in Qingqing's room, I'm so scared by myself, I want to sleep with you!"

Seeing her frightened like this, Huo Xun hurriedly comforted her, but from Xiao Ruan's standing angle, he could clearly see the provocation in Su Qingqing's eyes.

"Brother Xun, I saw my aunt in the room, she looked at me and said nothing, I was really scared!"

Sure enough, as soon as the word "aunt" came out of her mouth, Huo Xun's expression changed suddenly. After a little thought, he decided to go with her to find out.

"Ruan'er, you rest first, I'll go back soon."

Xiao Ruan still remembered Huo Xun's expression before he left, but he still found it ironic when he thought about it.

Huo Xun's biological mother had passed away ten years ago, and Su Qingqing thought of such an excuse to come to Huo Xun with good intentions.

Xiao Ruan never believed that people who could see Lu Shao's tricks at a glance would not be able to see Su Qingqing's tricks!

Time passed unknowingly, and the red candle on the table was about to burn out.Xiao Ruan squeezed her palm tightly, then forced herself to close her eyes.

The next day Zhuyun waited on Xiao Ruan carefully, not daring to speak easily.

Huo Xun didn't return all night last night, so she asked someone to inquire about it early in the morning, and learned that Huo Xun really stayed at Su Qingqing's residence last night.

Xiao Ruan's expression was haggard, her eyes were darkened, she obviously didn't have a good rest, if she said this again...

"Aren't the stewards of Zhuangzi below coming to see me today? Have they arrived yet?"

Zhuyun was thinking wildly, when she heard Xiao Ruan's voice, she nodded quickly: "Miss Hui, the stewards you mentioned came early in the morning and are waiting to see you in the front hall."

"See you then!"

As soon as Zhuyun's voice fell, seeing Xiao Ruan was already walking towards the door, and hurriedly followed.

The stewards waiting in the front hall were all stewards of Xiao Ruan's dowry shop and the farm. They had only met once when Xiao Ruan took over the dowry, and now they all gathered here with New Year's gifts at the end of the year.

"All the stewards have worked hard, and I will not treat you badly if you do things for me. Zhuyun took out the annual gift I prepared for all the stewards."

Xiao Ruan looked through the ledger handed in by a human being, but found no discrepancies.Guessing that there would be no problem with Mrs. Lu watching it for her, she directly called Zhu Yun to offer a reward.

Several people from the Jingzhong shop were considered acquainted with Xiao Ruan, and thanked Xiao Ruan for receiving the silver taels of Xiao Ruan's equipment.

At this moment, a scent of powder and fat came from nowhere, and strange colors flashed across everyone's faces, followed by a delicate voice from the door.

Everyone turned their heads following the sound, and immediately saw a young woman walking in from the door. The woman was wearing the latest style of clothes from Jiangnan Silk Factory. The butterfly love flower gold hairpin in her hair was shining with dazzling luster, and she had a bright smile on her pretty face.Xiao Ruan glanced indifferently, it was Su Qingqing.

"Hey, sister-in-law is meeting the housekeepers right now? It's just right, I'll come and learn my skills too."

Su Qingqing was holding a round and white rabbit in her hand, and looked at everyone in the room with a smile on her face.Slowly walking towards the seat opposite to Xiao Ruan, those who didn't know thought it was the lady of some official in Beijing.

"What are you doing here!"

A look of disgust flashed in Zhuyun's eyes, and she immediately stood up to drive Su Qingqing away.

"I've already said that I want to learn from my sister-in-law, why do you still ask me what to do?"

Su Qingqing ignored Zhuyun, bypassed her, and sat down on the chair.While stroking the rabbit in his hand, he said to Xiao Ruan: "Where did my sister-in-law ask? I'll listen too, so that I don't know what to do when I take over in the future."

All the housekeepers in the room were shrewd people. When they saw this situation, they immediately realized that they might have seen their master's private affairs, and lowered their heads one after another, but Zhuyun's eyes were burning with anger.

It turned out that Su Qingqing actually thought that the steward Xiao Ruan met today belonged to the Huo family.

But how could she have the cheek to come here and say something about "taking over in the future"?
"Miss Biao, this is not the place for you to come, please go out immediately."

Zhuyun wished that someone could drive Su Qingqing out with a stick, but because the stewards in the room couldn't do anything, she could only glared at the woman on the seat and said through gritted teeth.

Su Qingqing was humiliated several times by Zhuyun, and she immediately turned black: "Why is this not where I came from? I will tell you today that I will soon be the side wife of this Huo mansion..."

"enough!"

Xiao Ruan looked at Su Qingqing's clown-like attitude with cold eyes, scolded coldly, and turned his attention to other managers: "You all go back, I will call someone to notify you if there is anything."

When everyone heard the words, they immediately bid farewell to Xiao Ruan knowingly and walked out of the room one by one.

"Stop all of you! I won't allow you to leave!"

Seeing that everyone ignored her and left the room, Su Qingqing was furious.Throwing the white rabbit in his hand on the table, pointing at Xiao Ruan and cursing.

"Well, you vicious woman! This is the Huo family! Don't think that you can do whatever you want if brother Xun gives you some rights. When I marry brother Huo, I must investigate you!"

The white rabbit was frightened, staring at the surroundings vigilantly with its big blood-red eyes, and even stayed on the table without daring to move.

Turning his eyes from the rabbit to Su Qingqing's face, Xiao Ruan suddenly stood up, glanced at her indifferently, got up and left with disdain.

"Stop for me, Miss Ben is talking to you, just listen to me!"

Being ignored by the opponent was uncomfortable, Su Qingqing felt humiliated, and immediately stood up angrily and stood in front of Xiao Ruan, insisting that she give herself a response.

Xiao Ruan pursed her lips: "I'm afraid I really want to disappoint my cousin. The people in charge I met just now are not under Huo Xun's control, and it's not your turn to investigate."

After saying that, without waiting for Su Qingqing's reaction, Xiao Ruan turned his eyes away, spared Su Qingqing and walked straight to the door.

Su Qingqing originally wanted to continue arguing with Xiao Ruan, but because of these words, she was stunned for a moment.Suddenly realizing that those housekeepers might be the stewards of Xiao Ruan's dowry shop, he instantly became angry from embarrassment.

Seeing that Xiao Ruanji was about to leave the room, a cold light flashed in Su Qingqing's eyes, and she chased after Xiao Ruan again.

"Miss!"

Xiao Ruan only heard Zhuyun's panicked cry from behind, and before she understood what happened, she felt a strong force coming towards her from behind, and the next second her body fell forward.

"Li Yun..."

Xiao Ruan called Li Yun's name subconsciously, and suddenly remembered that the person beside her was Zhu Yun, a feeling of panic rose in her heart, she hurriedly pulled the things around her, but she still fell to the ground.

"Miss! This servant will help you up..."

Zhuyun's face turned pale with fright, she never thought that Su Qingqing would be so courageous, she pushed Xiao Ruan to the ground in front of her in the clear sky and broad daylight.

She watched Xiao Ruan fall in front of the door frame, her heart was so frightened that her whole mind went blank.It wasn't until he saw Xiao Ruan's face showing pain that he realized it and ran over in a panic.

"My child... hurry up and ask Miracle Doctor Lin!"

Xiao Ruan lay on the ground, only felt something slowly flow out from her lower body, when she saw a tinge of red on the skirt, her face turned pale, she only had time to take a look and kept pushing Su Qingqing slowly closed her eyes...

"Brother Lin, you are finally here, show Ruan Er quickly!"

Xiao Ruan heard a voice in a daze, and immediately realized that Lin Tianqi had been invited.She wanted to open her eyes and ask about the child's condition in person, but her eyelids seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and she couldn't open them no matter what, and even her throat was dry.

She felt that someone sat down beside her and took her wrist again, and her heart became more and more eager, as if she had waited thousands of years to hear the deep voice of the other party.

"Madam's fetal phase is extremely unstable..."

The room was filled with the smell of medicine, and Zhuyun was holding a porcelain white pill in his hand, carefully feeding Xiao Ruan the medicine.
