Chapter 85
After this ordeal, Li Qiuxia caught wind and cold and did not go out for several days.

When Zhuyun told Xiao Ruan, Xiao Ruan shook her head helplessly: "She is so clever that she was misunderstood by her cleverness. How can someone like Nanyang Hou Shizi get his hands on it?"

"That's right, she still wants to climb the dragon and the phoenix, and she doesn't care what kind of virtue she is." Zhu Yun sneered at her even more, "This incident can be regarded as a lesson for her. Let's see if she will not pretend to be smart in the future." Xiao Ruan But she knew in her heart that if she didn't beat it in time, Li Qiuxia wouldn't know how much she weighed.

Thinking of this, Xiao Ruan said to Zhu Yun: "Prepare some gifts, let's go visit Li Qiuxia. Anyway, she was ill at my Xiao's house. If you don't go, I'm afraid people will gossip about it."

Zhuyun immediately went to prepare things, and Xiao Ruan took Zhuyun and gifts to visit Li Qiuxia. Li Qiuxia was ill, looking sallow and weak.It can be seen that he really suffered from a cold, not deliberately pretending to be sick.

Xiao Ruan brought the things over, raised the corners of her mouth and smiled: "I heard that my sister accidentally fell into the water a few days ago, why are you so careless?"

Li Qiuxia immediately let her maidservant take the things, and catered feebly: "Yes, I was careless, I didn't pay attention to the road under my feet."

This Li Qiuxia can really pretend.Xiao Ruan nodded, and then held her head thoughtfully, with a naive tone, but what she said was also irritating: "It's okay if you didn't look carefully at the road, if you don't stop looking at people who are wrong, I'm afraid the consequences will be disastrous. After all, it's about If things spread about a woman's reputation, no matter how pretty her face is, it will be hard to make up for it."

After hearing her words, Li Qiuxia felt a chill down her back, and looked at Xiao Ruan in disbelief.Her face was normal, and her tone was as if she was talking about today's weather, but what she said was unusual, as if she knew something about her.

Li Qiuxia's face suddenly turned pale, pointing at Xiao Ruan's words incoherently said: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Xiao Ruan smiled, and then took Li Qiuxia's hand, looking very intimate, but Li Qiuxia looked into her eyes, but felt a chill in her heart.

"Sister, why are you excited? I just heard an interesting story. This story is about a lady from a great family. She is obviously good-looking and her family background is not bad. She will surely have a good marriage in the future. But She is restless and self-absorbed, intending to get things that don't belong to her, and in the end, she will be thrown into trouble. Not to mention marrying a good man, whether she can marry is a problem." She glanced at Li Qiuxia and smiled innocently, " My sister is so smart, she must never be that kind of person, right?"

Li Qiuxia's whole body was stiff, no matter how stupid she was, she could hear the warning from Xiao Ruan's mouth.

It seems that she knew about designing Nanyang Hou Shizi herself.Li Qiuxia's back suddenly burst into cold sweat, since she was able to come and say these things in front of her today, she must have something to do with it.If Xiao Ruan publicized this matter, wouldn't he be finished.

Li Qiuxia has always known that although Xiao Ruan is a legitimate daughter, she is not favored by her father.His temperament is gentle and slow, and he is always squeezed and rounded by others, so he is not friendly to him.

In this big mansion, one always welcomes the high and tramples the low, the more tempered one is, the more one will be taken advantage of.Li Qiuxia has never had a good impression of this young lady, nor has she had any bad intentions, so she was indifferent on the surface, but now that she made a move, Li Qiuxia found that Xiao Ruan was just pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, not weak at all.

She wanted to refute, but Xiao Ruan didn't name anyone with a surname to name her. She wanted to scold someone, but after all, he was the host and she was the guest, and she would be the one to suffer if there was a quarrel. In addition, Xiao Ruan's words almost made her speechless. up.

When she recovered, Xiao Ruan had already left.

With nowhere to vent her grievances, Li Qiuxia covered herself with a quilt and burst into tears.Even being rejected by Xiao Zhongheng before, and then ignored by Nanyang Hou Shizi, she felt that she had suffered so much during this period, that she was unlucky, and Xiao Ruan came to bully her again.

On the way back, Zhuyun smiled and said, "Miss, it's really interesting to see that Li Qiuxia's face turns green and white at times."

Xiao Ruan sighed: "If it wasn't for her and Mrs. Zhao trying to get my brother's idea, and then reaching out to Nanyang Hou Shizi, how could I treat her like this. All this is just her own doing." Speaking of Here, Xiao Ruan sighed, "People, don't be too greedy. What's the point of trying to get what you can't get, even if you try your best to get it?"

Listening to Xiao Ruan's vicissitudes, Zhuyun suddenly realized that what her young lady said didn't seem to match her age, but seemed like someone who had experienced a lot.

But at this time, when Gu's family learned that Xiao Ruan had been to Li Qiuxia's place, she suddenly had a plan.

So he hurriedly ordered someone to call Xiao Ying, and then prepared a small gift to visit Li Qiuxia.Li Qiuxia had just cried a lot, her eyes were still red and swollen.After Xiao Ying saw it, she immediately held Li Qiuxia's hand. The older sister and the older sister called shortly, calling Li Qiuxia affectionate.It seemed that what Li Qiuxia had was not typhoid fever, but some incurable disease.

Li Qiuxia doesn't know the mother and daughter of the Gu family very well, but she has her own means to live a prosperous life in this house.

"Please trouble my sister and Aunt Gu to come and see." Li Qiuxia didn't take Aunt Gu seriously, and Mrs. Gu didn't care too much. She just took Li Qiuxia's hand and said earnestly: "In the future, if you have any difficulties, just follow me." , and Yinger said, there are some people in the Xiao family who are not easy to mess with. Even if you are fine, she can find something for you. After a long time, you will gradually know. "

Xiao Ying hurriedly pulled Mrs. Gu, and made a look of "don't talk too much": "Mother, don't talk too much. She can't do anything because she is a prostitute, so let's talk less. wonderful."

Gu could only smile apologetically: "I'm just being straightforward, so don't take it to heart."

Even so, but Li Qiuxia was a very thoughtful person, how could she not take it to heart.Gu's mother and daughter looked at Li Qiuxia's eyes with resentment.Knowing that Li Qiuxia must have hated Xiao Ruan, she smiled at each other, got up and left without staying any longer.

On the second day, Xiao Ruan thought that he hadn't been to the tenant's house for many days, and he missed the two elders very much. In addition, it would be the Ghost Festival in two days, so he took Zhuyun out to choose some gifts for the two elders.

Zhuyun prepared a carriage for Xiao Ruan, Xiao Ruan didn't want to be too ostentatious, so he only had Zhuyun as a servant and a coachman, there were only three people in total.I thought it wouldn't take much time, but I didn't expect that the carriage stopped not long after I left.

Zhuyun hurriedly opened the curtain and asked, "What's going on? Why did the carriage stop?"

The groom was so frightened that he couldn't speak a word, Zhuyun saw more than a dozen big men around the carriage, each of them had a big knife in their hand, and they were glaring, they were extremely difficult to provoke.

Did they encounter robbers?Zhuyun hurriedly shouted: "Miss, don't come out, we have encountered a little trouble."

Zhuyun has some kung fu, she said this because she was afraid that Xiao Ruan would be afraid, in fact, it would be difficult for her to deal with so many big men by herself.

Xiao Ruan frowned when he saw these robbers from the gap in the curtain. Although these people were all dressed in rough clothes and looked like they were from the world, Xiao Ruan felt that it was too coincidental.

She is a girl in a boudoir, she has no grievances or enmities with anyone, and she has never set foot in the rivers and lakes, so how could she provoke robbers.What's more, when she went out today, she only brought two people with her, and the group was extremely low-key, and the carriage was not gorgeous, so how could the robbers happen to rob them by coincidence?
However, no matter who is behind the tricks, they must be ordered to go back first.

The leading robber is a one-eyed man, who seems to be a ruthless master.Xiao Ruan knew that there was no way for him to hide like this, so he immediately opened the curtain and walked out, and said to the one-eyed robber: "The three of us are going out, and we don't have much money with us, but as long as you let us go, the condition is Open as you please."

The one-eyed robber didn't expect that this girl would dare to come out and negotiate terms with them.If it were another girl in the boudoir, she would have been so frightened that she would have cried.It seems that he is courageous, but what he said was a bit naive: "You can't treat us as fools. If you let you go, I won't be rich or rich. Don't worry, when we tie you to the cottage, we will take care of ourselves. Discuss the conditions with the Xiao family." As soon as the voice fell, the robber immediately called people up.

Xiao Ruan didn't expect that the robber was determined to rob people, so he made a decisive decision, pulled the rein of the horse and shouted: "Zhuyun, sit down." Then he pulled out the hairpin and tied it hard on the horse's butt.The horse was in pain, and immediately raised its front hooves, and rushed forward like crazy.

The robbers in front couldn't stop him, seeing Xiao Ruan driving away, he hurriedly shouted: "Brothers, chase me—"

These robbers obviously didn't expect that the ducks they got could fly.Chasing after him, Xiao Ruan had never driven a carriage since he was a child, but now he was forced to take risks.In addition, this crazy horse didn't listen to its commands at all, and only relied on a brute force, it slammed its hooves and ran madly, and it didn't know where it was running.

Zhuyun and the two tried their best to maintain their balance, but they were still staggered by the dumping.If this goes on like this, even if he is not caught up by the robbers, he will be smashed to pieces.

Xiao Ruan hurriedly said to Zhu Yun: "You are very skilled, jump down first when you see the right time, and then find someone to rescue me."

"No, this servant can't leave Miss behind." Zhu Yun disagreed desperately, she was determined to be with Xiao Ruan.

However, the robbers who were still behind had already caught up at some point, and there were two skilled trainers who rode horses to keep pace with them, and seeing the timing, they cut off the horse's neck with a single blow.

The carriage, which was still flying like an arrow just now, came to a sudden brake, and Xiao Ruan and Zhu Yun fell from the carriage. Fortunately, Zhu Yun was good at helping Xiao Ruan, and the two were not injured.

However, after the two stood firm, they found that the robbers had surrounded them.
