Xiao Bian wanted to prove to the Marquis of Wuning that eliminating a person was easier than guarding against one.
Hearing this, not only was Zishu Sui stunned, but even Cui was a little dazed.
After the two walked out the door, Cui only said that she would have the family doctor go to Youlan Courtyard later, and then left on her own.
Zishu Sui looked at Cui’s departing back, feeling a little lonely and sad for some reason.
Yinxing was about to help Zishu Sui back to the courtyard, but Zishu Sui was unwilling to go back immediately. Xiao Bian had spoken up for her just now, so she naturally had to “thank him properly.”
How could she let go of any reason to approach Xiao Bian?
Although Xiao Bian was not standing up for her just now, as Xiao Bian said, it didn’t matter if she, a cousin, suffered some grievances, but the Wuning Marquis’s mansion couldn’t be labeled as easy to bully.
He did this just because his own nature was like that.
Xiao Bian, only he could bully others.
Eliminate them before they grow, so they can’t pose a threat to him.
He was that kind of person, always.
Therefore, the unlucky one this time should be Jiang Yu, and this was not to stand up for Zishu Sui, but to prove to the Marquis of Wuning that he was right, and that instead of being afraid of offending people, it was better to proactively eliminate all hidden dangers.
Zishu Sui didn’t pity Jiang Yu. Today’s incident only made Zishu Sui remember again what kind of person Xiao Bian was.
After several years, that dark and treacherous image reappeared in her mind.
“You’re in the way.”
She was standing under the eaves when Xiao Bian’s impatient words suddenly came from behind.
Perhaps because of the clash of ideas with the Marquis of Wuning just now, Xiao Bian was not in a good mood, and his face was not good either.
When Zishu Sui turned around, her mind moved, her ankle twisted, and her body softly fell towards his direction.
The action was exactly the same as when she fell on Ji Sixue before.
When she fell in front of him, Zishu Sui clearly felt that a man’s body was much harder than a woman’s.
Her back, through her snow-white cloak, was touched by a hand.
Zishu Sui raised her head slightly, her eyes filled with panic and nervousness, “Cousin, I didn’t do it on purpose, I just knelt for a long time and couldn’t stand firmly…”
Xiao Bian lowered his eyes to look at her, remained silent for a while, and moved his hand, which had subconsciously been placed on her waist.
Although Zishu Sui said she didn’t do it on purpose, her body was still close to him, and she didn’t move away for a while.
Her hands were holding his arms.
One person looked up, and the other looked down. The two of them looked at each other at such a close distance.
“It seems that the methods women use to throw themselves into men’s arms are all the same, without any novelty.”
Xiao Bian twitched the corner of his mouth and moved his gaze away from the girl in his arms.
Zishu Sui pretended to be innocent, blinking her big eyes, “Cousin is going to wrong me again.”
Saying that, she supported herself on Xiao Bian’s arms, straightened her body, and moved a step away from him.
Then, she seemed to think of something and asked curiously, “Does Cousin mean that you are often thrown into arms? Did they succeed? Didn’t Aunt say that the noble ladies in the capital are afraid of Cousin, so how could they throw themselves into your arms?”
Xiao Bian’s eyes flashed with impatience when he heard her boring questions, “You are becoming less and less afraid of me now.”
Zishu Sui nodded seriously and approvingly, “Although Cousin is fierce, you spoke up for me just now. I am waiting here to thank you.”
“I didn’t help you.” Xiao Bian patted the sleeve that she had just touched.
Coincidentally, Zishu Sui saw the white gauze on his hand again.
“Is Cousin’s hand still not healed? Did I bite very hard that day?” Zishu Sui looked remorseful, “I won’t bite people again in the future.”
Xiao Bian felt a little irritable in his heart, “You better not mention this matter.”
“Okay,” Zishu Sui responded weakly, “Cousin, are you really going to deal with the Jiang family?”
Xiao Bian didn’t like being controlled, nor did he like being asked about his actions. He snorted coldly, “Are you begging for mercy?”
If she was bullied and still begged for mercy for the other party, Xiao Bian would only look down on her.
He didn’t consider himself a kind person, nor did he like overly kind people. He hated kind and weak people even more.
Xiao Bian was waiting for her to say the words of begging for mercy, and then severely educate and beat her, telling her that people’s hearts were sinister.
Xiao Bian didn’t know when he had become fond of being a teacher, maybe it was because of this faint blood relationship.
Who knew that after hearing his words, Zishu Sui shook her head without hesitation, and waved her hand, saying, “That’s not it.”
“…” Xiao Bian was wrong. It turned out that the girl was not as kind as he thought.
Under the girl’s weak body, there was stubbornness.
And she was bolder than others, and she had been talking back to him a lot lately.
Today, he had to add another point: her heart was not soft.
As for how hard her heart was, it was still unknown.
“If you’re not begging for mercy, what are you asking these things for?” Xiao Bian was rarely a little curious.
Zishu Sui quickly thought in her heart how to answer so that Xiao Bian would look at her with new eyes.
After thinking for a while, she said quietly, “That Jiang Yu belittled me openly and secretly. Cousin, please belittle her properly for me.”
Her words carried the dissatisfaction of a young girl.
Xiao Bian’s eyes were indifferent. Faced with the girl’s childish request, he didn’t immediately agree. He thought to himself that she probably didn’t understand what he meant by dealing with and eliminating.
If it was just to belittle Jiang Yu, then there was no need for him to take action.
“Why doesn’t Cousin agree to me?” Zishu Sui’s expectant gaze gradually turned to loneliness, and her gaze slowly moved from his face to his chest, “Am I too vicious?”
As if afraid of leaving a bad impression because of this, Zishu Sui hurriedly tried to make up for it, “Cousin, pretend I didn’t say anything. I didn’t say such vicious words, and you didn’t hear them either.”
Xiao Bian looked at her quietly, thinking that he was a full nine years older than her, and the two of them were not focused on the same points.
Just like “belittling Jiang Yu,” in the girl’s eyes, it already seemed like a vicious and retaliatory act.
But Xiao Bian thought that this kind of method was too childish and kind.
“Read less of the ‘Female Virtues’.” Xiao Bian attributed Zishu Sui’s behavior to reading too much of the “Female Virtues,” which led to her indecisiveness.
Although he hadn’t read its contents either.
As soon as Zishu Sui heard this, she said, “That won’t do. Which daughter of a noble family doesn’t read the ‘Female Virtues’—”
“Alright, didn’t you vomit blood?” Xiao Bian interrupted her thoughts of continuing to talk, “How is your vitality so tenacious? Could it be that vomiting blood was fake?”
Xiao Bian seemed to be reminded by himself, and looked at her suspiciously.
Zishu Sui immediately coughed lightly, turned around limping, and waved to Yinxing not far away. Yinxing immediately stepped forward to support her.
“Cousin, thank you today. I… cough cough cough, I’ll go get my pulse taken first.”
Zishu Sui was supported and left slowly.
The family doctor had been waiting in Youlan Courtyard for a long time.
The family doctor took her pulse and a look of confusion appeared on his face, “It shouldn’t be.”
Zishu Sui sat calmly, while Yinxing looked nervous, “Doctor, is my lady very ill?”
“Miss’s cold has not yet healed, and she has been thinking too much on weekdays. She still needs to relax. However, this vomiting blood… is strange,” the family doctor shook his head. “Like this, I will first prescribe a prescription. Miss, take good care of your body and try to be less angry and less thoughtful.”
Yinxing nodded solemnly, looking heartbroken, and followed the family doctor to write the prescription.
Zishu Sui withdrew her hand. She had indeed been thinking a lot these days.
Just in the past few hours, she had been thinking about how to seduce Xiao Bian.
