I've been reborn, who still wants to be a cowardly little white flower?

Jiang Huai threw down the cake in his hand and walked forward quickly, "My Lord, Brother Xie's right shoulder wound was just opened by Miss Xie's accidental collision, and it needs to be bandaged and re-applied with medicine.

He said that today was the old lady's birthday, and was afraid that the old lady would be upset if she knew about it, so he left with Brother Qi An to apply medicine.

Instruct the students to make sure to apologize to the Marquis."

Jiang Huai spoke in a very soft voice, which matched his image of a weak scholar, but he enunciated each word clearly and spoke at a moderate speed, which not only allowed everyone to understand what was happening, but also made people feel sympathy for Xie Yunxiao and not get angry at all.

Lord Xie had been planning to come and vent his anger on Xie Yunxiao. If he was there, it would mean that he didn't care about his sisters and didn't have any brotherly love; if he wasn't there, it would mean that he wasn't capable of taking on the responsibility. His sister was in trouble and the mansion was in a mess. As the eldest son, he couldn't entertain the guests, so what else could he do?

As a result, he unexpectedly hit a snag right at the start. At the moment, he was full of resentment but couldn't vent it. It was well known that Xie Yunxiao was injured while doing his job for the court, and his wound was opened by Xie Nianchu.

He planned to come here and take the initiative, put all the blame on Xie Yunxiao, and occupy the moral high ground.

Unexpectedly, when Jiang Huai told the story again, it became Xie Nianchu's fault.

If he gets angry because Xie Yunxiao is not here to take charge of the situation, he is being unreasonable and it will be difficult to win the support of the people.

Lord Xie stared at Jiang Huai for a few seconds. Facing a face that smiled at him and was neither humble nor arrogant, he was defeated and could only say awkwardly, "I know."

Seeing Lord Xie's frustrated expression, Jiang Yuan felt much happier. He leaned over to Qu Ying's ear and said, "Hey, it looks like we can still have this feast today, hehe."

Qu Ying moved aside in disdain, "You only know how to eat."

In fact, Jiang Yuan was worrying too much. With so many people coming to celebrate the birthday, it was impossible for the party to be disbanded just because of Xie Nianchu. If that happened, the Marquis' Mansion would be regarded as a place dedicated to making money. Everyone came with gifts.

As long as no one is killed, you can enjoy the feast no matter what.

The banquet at the Marquis' Mansion was truly extraordinary, with all the main dishes served. The tables were small, with only six people at a table, but there were twelve dishes on each table.

Just now, several girls who were with Xie Nianchu were stung by bees, but it was not serious. They were just stung on their faces, which were now swollen. They all said goodbye and went home, leaving several tables empty.

Qu Ying, Jiang Yuan, and Wu Yunyun, the former guest, formed a group of five people sitting at the table.

Wu Yunyun and the other two went to watch the fun. The five of them sat in a remote location, mainly away from the ladies. A dish of sweet and sour carp was served. Qu Ying knew that Jiang Yuan liked it. The fish was placed in front of Qu Ying, so she took the initiative to take Jiang Yuan's plate and picked up a piece of fish for her.

Wu Yunyun and the other two looked very strange. They always had inexplicable smiles on their faces, sometimes smiling, sometimes not, as if they were trying hard to hold back their smiles. The flesh on their faces was twitching, and their chests were shaking from time to time.

There were two people here, one who was picking up the fish absent-mindedly, and the other who was eating the fish absent-mindedly. They both frowned slightly and stared at the three people who looked like they would have a epileptic seizure at the next second.

Qu Ying finally couldn't help it and put down his chopsticks, "I'm not saying anything, you three can laugh if you want."

Wu Yunyun put down her chopsticks, covered her mouth, and looked around while laughing. When she had finally finished laughing, she began to explain, "Let me tell you two, hehe, that, haha, that Xie Nianchu, hahahaha, was stung by a bee.

It seems, hahahahaha, it seems swollen, big, hahahahaha, a big winter melon. "

Jiang Yuan really didn't expect this adjective. He was stunned with a piece of fish in his mouth.

When the other two girls heard what Wu Yunyun said, they could no longer hold back their laughter. They covered their mouths tightly, almost lowering their heads under the table, trying hard not to laugh out loud.

Qu Ying felt a little regretful and looked at Jiang Yuan unhappily, "I want to see it too."

"Forehead......"

Wu Yunyun laughed so hard that she had to wipe her tears with a handkerchief. After finally catching her breath, she was really afraid that she would faint from laughing.

“Actually, there are a lot of jokes about Xie Nianchu, but no one is spreading them anymore. She always says that General Xie is unlucky and anyone who gets close to him will end up badly.

But everyone in the capital knew that she was the ominous person.

Ah Yuan, you didn't go out often before, so you probably don't know that Xie Nianchu is already in his twenties and still at home. Aren't you curious?"

Jiang Yuan was stunned by Wu Yunyun's words. She really hadn't thought about it in this aspect. In the era when she lived in, it was normal for girls in their twenties who had not graduated from college and stayed at home without getting married.

I completely forgot that in this era, girls could get married after they turned 15. If they were still not married after they were over 20, they would be laughed at as old maids.

Qu Ying's sister is eighteen years old and has not yet married. The eldest princess sighs whenever she thinks of her sister.

It is indeed strange that Xie Nianchu is still living in the Marquis' Mansion and has not started a family.

Seeing Jiang Yuan finally showing his doubtful look, Wu Yunyun smiled and replied, "It's not that she hasn't been married, but she has been married twice.

Everyone said that she was in poor health, always taking medicine and getting sick when the wind blew. But this was the Marquis's Mansion after all, and when she was sixteen years old, she married the legitimate son of the Marquis's subordinate.

In fact, the Marquis also wanted to find a match for her, but with Xie Nianchu's condition, it was unclear whether she could live long, let alone have many children.

She was a girl from the Marquis's mansion. If she were the principal wife and took a concubine, regardless of whether she agreed or not, with her temper, there would be deaths in the mansion every other day.

No family would agree to a marriage of equal status, so there was no choice but to marry someone of lower status.

Unexpectedly, two years after their marriage, the young man went to the battlefield and never came back.

She was a widow, and the Marquis felt sorry for her, so he took her back to the Marquis' Mansion. However, it was even more difficult for her to remarry, so two years later, the Marquis' Mansion recruited a scholar who had just passed the imperial examination as a son-in-law.

Last year, that scholar fell into the river and drowned."

Jiang Yuan sneered, "What a talent."

Qi Sheng looked back and saw that no one was paying attention to them. She whispered, "Now it's rumored in the capital that she is unlucky for her husband. It's also said that her mother was pregnant with twins, but she was the only one who survived. Her mother and brother were also unlucky because of her."

Wu Yunyun said, "I heard that the Marquis is looking for a bride in his hometown and wants to send Xie Nianchu and the old lady back to their hometown to get married, but no one knows about it there.

Besides, she is old now, if she goes back, she will probably just find a wife to marry into the family, let the old lady take care of her, and wait until she gives birth to a child, and then bring her back to the capital."

I didn't expect that Xie Nianchu had such a story. Although Jiang Yuan didn't believe in the saying that she was unlucky in marriage, some things were just coincidences. Of course, if there were too many coincidences, it would be difficult to explain. Things that science couldn't explain could only be explained by metaphysics.

But this is not a reason for her to be arrogant and domineering, nor is it a reason for her to bully Xie Yunxiao. In fact, the person who should be blamed the most is Lord Xie, because he is the instigator of everything.

He is a vested interest, but he puts himself in the position of a victim and wantonly pushes everything onto a child. How shameless.
