Chapter 195 Falling
"Yes, yes, miss, please calm down. It's true that you are so beautiful that I couldn't help myself. I apologize to you here." Si Chengren bowed deeply to Li Xiaoxiao.
"Hmph," Li Xiaoxiao did not answer. She snorted and raised her legs to run into the rockery.
Seeing Li Xiaoxiao running towards the rockery, Si Chengren quickly looked around, and seeing that there was no one there, he also ran into the rockery.
He grew up in the Marquis' Mansion and knew everything about it, especially this rockery. He was even more familiar with it. When he was a child, he used to hide in this rockery when playing hide-and-seek.
After entering the rockery, Si Chengren anxiously looked for Li Xiaoxiao, but he couldn't find her. Could it be that she ran to the top of the rockery?
With this question in mind, Si Chengren quickly came to the rockery, and saw that it was nothing but stones.
Where is the person? Why did Li Xiaoxiao disappear? At this time, Si Chengren was standing on the highest point of the rockery. Directly in front of him was a cliff. Below was the place he had just walked through, about four or five meters from the ground.
Standing here, one can see the entire rockery, but there is still no sign of Li Xiaoxiao. Si Chengren was puzzled and was about to go back when he suddenly felt a pain just behind his knee. His body fell forward uncontrollably and he screamed in fright.
"Ah!" With this scream, Si Chengren fell heavily from the rockery.
The screams attracted nearby maids and servants, and the scene suddenly became chaotic. Li Xiaoxiao watched all this and left in a good mood.
Si Chengren was seriously injured and cried out in pain whenever someone touched him.
Li Xiaoxiao returned to Yangxinxuan, and soon Wang Qiuhe came looking for her. She looked very aggressive and started yelling as soon as she entered the door.
"Li Xiaoxiao, come out here."
The old lady had just woken up and heard Wang Qiuhe's shouting.
"What is she doing here?" The old lady's tone was filled with displeasure. This Wang Qiuhe was such a troublesome person.
"Mom, look at what you said, why can't my daughter-in-law come." Wang Qiuhuo said as she walked in. As she entered the door, she looked around as if she was looking for someone.
"I think you are becoming more and more unruly, yelling in front of me." The old lady slammed the table and scolded angrily.
"Mother, I don't dare. I'm here to find Li Xiaoxiao. She is so bold that she has only been in our mansion for one day, but she has already lured Chengren to the rockery and then pushed him down from the rockery," Wang Qiuhe said gritting her teeth.
"You also know that Xiaoxiao has only been here for one day and she doesn't recognize Chengren. How could she trick him to the rockery? Don't talk nonsense and put false accusations on Xiaoxiao to ruin her reputation." The old lady was not a pushover. Although she had just recognized Li Xiaoxiao, it was not difficult to see her character from her words and conversation.
In this large and deep courtyard, she would naturally be protected. Even if Li Xiaoxiao did not explain to her what was going on, she was willing to believe Li Xiaoxiao.
"Mom, it's not up to you and me to decide what's right and wrong. Chengren is lying on the bed now. Call Li Xiaoxiao out. I want to confront her face to face." Wang Qiuhuo was relentless.
She must not let that bitch Li Xiaoxiao go. If the old lady refused to let Li Xiaoxiao out, she would go to the Marquis, and if that didn't work, she would file a complaint with the Emperor. She didn't believe that there would be no way to reason.
"You..." The old lady was about to say something angrily when a clear female voice rang out.
"Aunt, I'm here. Tell me what's the matter." Li Xiaoxiao was seen walking towards her wearing a pink satin jacket with gold butterflies, a gold hairpin with silk and pearls, and small gold-wire red agate earrings. She had a slim and graceful figure, and a bright and charming face with sparkling eyes, red lips, white teeth, and a slight arc at the corner of her mouth.
These were all gifts from the old lady. Li Xiaoxiao didn't care much about these things at first, but she couldn't resist the old lady who insisted on her dressing like this, so she didn't refuse. She changed into this outfit after dinner and went out for a walk when she ran into Si Chengren, who was unlucky enough.
It really is true that clothes make the man, and saddles make the horse, when Li Xiaoxiao put on this dress, Wang Qiuhe almost didn't recognize her. When they saw her in the morning, she was not even as well dressed as the maid in their mansion, but after this transformation, she was no less dressed than a lady from a famous family, like a different person, but if you look closely, she is still Li Xiaoxiao.
"Why did you push my son off the rockery, causing him to have facial injuries and serious internal injuries. The doctor said he has to stay in bed for at least a month," Wang Qiuhe questioned her without caring whether she looked good or not.
"Aunt, I think you have misunderstood. I did go out at noon today, but I did not see my cousin. Instead, I met a lecher near the rockery. He came up to me and asked me my name directly. There was no maid with me at the time, which really scared me, and then he left." Li Xiaoxiao recounted what happened in the afternoon, and emphasized that the person she met was a lecher.
"What lecher? He's your cousin." Wang Qiuhe got furious when she heard that Li Xiaoxiao was ruining her son's reputation.
"So he is my eldest cousin. That was really a misunderstanding. I didn't even go to the rockery, so how could I blame my cousin? Aunt, you should go back and ask my cousin carefully. I'm afraid my eldest cousin's head was also broken." Li Xiaoxiao looked as if he had suddenly realized something, and what he said was so infuriating.
"What nonsense are you talking about? You're the one who has a broken brain." Wang Qiuhuo was so angry that her eyes widened and she gasped. The originally tiny crow's feet at the corners of her eyes turned into grooves in anger.
When seeing Wang Qiuhuo, Li Xiaoxiao thought of Old Lady Li. This noble lady was just like the shrew in the village when she started to scold people.
"Okay, stop making a scene here. Xiaoxiao said you have never been to the rockery. Go back and ask your son what's going on." The old lady understood something when she heard this. No matter whether Li Xiaoxiao did it or not, she would stand on Xiaoxiao's side.
"Hmph, just wait for me." Wang Qiuhuo had no choice but to go back and ask clearly.
Watching her walk away, the old lady said with concern: "Try to avoid your two cousins from your aunt's family in the future. Both of them are troublesome."
"Grandma, don't worry, I know." Li Xiaoxiao nodded slightly. On the way here, Si Chengxu told her all about their family's temperament.
It was Si Wei Zhong who was responsible for Sun being sold. Otherwise, Si Chengren wouldn't have suffered this misfortune today. It was what he deserved. Fortunately, it was her today. If it was any other woman, she would have been molested by him.
After Wang Qiuhuo returned home, she became angrier and angrier. But when she saw her son lying on the bed, her heart immediately softened, and all her previous blame disappeared.
"Chengren, tell me in detail what is going on. Why is that old woman so protective of that bitch?"
