SFS Chapter 81 Sneaky
Chapter 81 Sneaky
The rain got colder that night.
Jiang Ranran dared not go under the eaves to take shelter from the rain, so she could only hug herself and stare longingly at the door.
After waiting for a while, there was still no movement inside, and she began to get anxious.
She simply yelled at the top of her lungs, "Sister! Come out quickly!"
"Sister, I really have something very important to say!"
The door opened, and the old woman finally came out. "What's all the fuss about? Don't you have any sense of propriety? Don't you even know what time it is!"
"Granny, where is my sister?"
Jiang Ranran craned her neck to look behind her, "Why...why didn't she come out?"
"Miss Mianmian said, what business do you have with her?"
The old woman glanced at her and said, "Kneel if you want, but you're sick. There's no one in our household who can take care of you."
Even though she already had a guess in her heart, Jiang Ranran was still annoyed when she heard the old woman say that.
Since you're heartless, don't blame me for being indifferent!
She gripped the ground tightly with both hands and called out loudly, "Sister! Come out quickly, he's waiting for you!"
The old woman's eyes widened. "Her? Who is she?"
In this entire village, no one can surpass the old lady! She thinks she can just take Mianmian away? Dream on!
"Yes, yes, it's my sister's...that one~"
Jiang Ranran looked quite embarrassed and lowered her voice slightly, "Granny, please inform everyone again that this kind of thing is really not something that should be announced to everyone."
"!!!"
The old woman finally understood.
It wasn't her, it was him! Good heavens, then why were you yelling so loudly just now?
She glared at her, then turned and left, shouting, "Miss Mianmian, something terrible has happened! He's here!"
"..."
Jiang Mianmian was speechless. "Who is it?"
"Miss Jiang didn't say it, but the implication was that it involved you, uh, it was kind of... you know?"
The old woman blinked and stared at her, her heart filled with curiosity.
Jiang Mianmian was really annoyed by the situation. "Madam, it's getting late. You should rest. I'll go out and get rid of her."
"Alright, if it's too much trouble, just call two old women to drag her out."
Madam Ye gave the gatekeeper a wink.
The old woman bowed and said, "Yes, madam, rest assured, we will never let Miss Mianmian suffer any injustice."
Jiang Mianmian put on her raincoat and took Jiu Niang and Shiqi Niang with her.
As soon as the three of them stepped out of the house, Jiang Ranran rushed over, "Sister! Hurry up, he's waiting in your room!"
Inside the house?
That word is used cleverly.
Jiang Mianmian smiled at her, "Who?"
Jiang Ranran looked around, lowered her head, and said in a voice that seemed deliberately low but was actually extremely loud, "Your fiancé! Qi Xuan! He said he wanted to... you know!"
Those watching from all around gasped in astonishment.
What? What is that? This is just too rude!
Old Madam Ye, who was eavesdropping through the door, stumbled. Mianmian has a fiancé? And she even found her way to the manor and went straight into the house?
"Qi Xuan?"
Jiang Mianmian was surprised. She thought that Qi Xuan might be dead after being missing for so long. She didn't expect him to not only be alive but also find this place. Did he accidentally break in, or did he come in after discovering that this was Ye Family Manor?
If it's the latter, then he deserves a beating! Does he only have Jiang Ranran in his head and no thoughts about his parents?
"Let's go back and take a look."
Jiang Mianmian pulled Seventeen and Ninth Sister along and strode towards Qingzhu Residence.
"Hey? Wait for me, sis!"
Jiang Ranran hadn't expected her to leave so suddenly; she still had so many things she had prepared to say.
She could only run and shout, "Sister, you must be patient! Even if he comes specifically to find you, you can't be as impatient as you were at someone else's house! Sister... ah!"
"Snapped!"
Jiu Niang turned around and slapped her across the face. "You stupid and wicked thing! Shut your stinking mouth!"
"I was just concerned about my sister, why did you hit her?"
Jiang Ranran collapsed into the mud. She saw that everyone else was wearing raincoats, looking clean, refreshed, and warm. Only she had been soaked for half a day and was now covered in mud and water, with her hands cut by stones. She was furious and spoke even more bluntly.
"I didn't say anything wrong! In the middle of the night, what could a grown man be sneaking into her yard like that? I just happened to see it and kindly came to warn her! If you don't believe me, call my parents and brothers to come and see if that person is her fiancé!"
Jiang Mianmian stopped and looked at the old woman. "Old woman, please put her in the Second Madam's courtyard. She's too noisy. If the Second Madam doesn't want her either, just throw her out."
"Yes."
The gatekeeper twisted Jiang Ranran's arm and walked away.
"Let me go! Why are you arresting me? It's clearly her who's being immoral! I need to see the Third Young Master!"
The sound faded into the distance, and Jiang Mianmian ignored her, quickly entering Qingzhu Residence. "Qi Xuan? Where are you?"
Qi Xuan, who was hiding in the corner, was somewhat stunned.
Is it appropriate to just call him that so casually?
"Come out, or your Ranran will put the blame on us."
"What happened? What did she say?"
Qi Xuan strode out.
He was covered in grass and mud, and everyone hurriedly took a few steps back.
Jiang Mianmian frowned. "You're injured? Where? Is it serious?"
"I,"
Qi Xuan was stunned again, his eyes reddened slightly, and his nose tingled.
I talked to Ranran for a long time, and even told her that I hurt my leg, but she didn't say a word of concern. Even when she saw me climbing over the wall, she didn't ask a single question! She just kept crying and complaining about how wronged she had been!
But as soon as she met Mianmian, she noticed the injury on her body! And she asked her three questions in a row!
This kind and gentle girl is described by Ranran as someone who has done all sorts of bad things and may even be possessed by evil spirits!
Who is lying and pretending?
He asked himself this question, but deep down he already knew the answer; he just didn't want to admit it.
Jiang Mianmian had already opened the door to the side room and ordered the maid to prepare hot water, invite a doctor, and make noodle soup. "Come in. Are you afraid you're not sick enough? Why are you still standing there in the rain?"
Is this guy crazy?
"Oh."
Qi Xuan was dazed, but followed her inside.
"The hot water will be here soon. Go wash up and change your clothes first, then we can talk slowly."
Uncle Qi and Aunt Qi are still in the first cave. They would be very happy if they knew that Qi Xuan was still alive.
She said, "I'll take a look at your injury later. If possible, I'll take you to see your parents tomorrow. They've been looking for you like crazy."
"Where are they?"
Qi Xuan's heart tightened. Did this mean his parents were alright?
“They didn’t follow the group that retreated eastward. They’re temporarily staying in a cave I found. Don’t worry, they have everything they need.”
After offering a few words of comfort, Jiang Mianmian and the others left the house.
Qi Xuan was anxious, so he quickly washed and changed his clothes and ran to the main room. "I'm fine now, shall we go?"
