Quick Wear: Female Supporting Role

Chapter 292

After leaving Yue Lao Temple, on the way back, the carriage suddenly stopped, disturbing the people inside.

Xiao Cui lifted the curtain and asked, "What's going on?"

The driver replied, "There are two beggars here, I will drive them away right away."

Xiao Cui said impatiently, "Hurry up," and then lowered the curtain.

At this moment, Qu Yingying slowly woke up, and Xiaolian poured a glass of water: "Miss, drink some water."

"Um"

The person who fainted in front of the carriage was a white-haired old man, and next to him was a young child, who was thin and frail. He was shaking the fainted person and crying very sadly.

"Grandpa, wake up"

The driver stepped forward and helped the old man up. The servant handed him a kettle and said, "Try it."

"Hey" After giving the old man a few sips of water, he finally recovered and the driver helped him up.

The driver and the boy helped the old man up, "Old man, get up quickly."

The old man wiped the sweat from his cheeks, opened his mouth, and said slowly: "Thank you very much for your rescue."

Seeing that the carriage had not moved, Xiaolian lifted the curtain and said, "Hey, what's going on? Why haven't you left yet?"

Seeing this, the servant said with a smile: "Don't worry, Miss Xiaolian, an old man fainted and the driver helped him."

"Okay," Xiaolian pouted, "Hurry up, don't delay."

The old man over there explained the reason. He heard that there was a famous doctor in the city who treated the poor for free, and he wanted to take his grandson to see him.

I never thought the journey was so long that after walking for a day and a night, I fainted on the roadside.

"So that's how it is," the driver said with a smile, "It's true."

The old man immediately became excited. As long as it was true, it would be worth the journey. "That's great."

"But there is still some distance to go, which will take some energy."

"Thank you for the information, brave man." The old man was very grateful and bowed to the driver with his grandson, and the car was stopped.

The driver helped the man up, "a piece of cake"

Seeing that they were about to leave, the servant came over and called to the grandfather and grandson, "Wait a minute, old man..."

The driver asked, "What's wrong?"

"Hey," the servant slapped his thigh, "I told my young mistress about your old age. I heard that you two are not able to move around easily, so the young mistress plans to give you a ride."

"Thank you, living Bodhisattva!" The old man was overjoyed and smiled widely.

The guard following behind came forward and took the grandfather and grandson. It was the first time for the little boy to ride on a tall horse and he was very excited and looked the boy up and down.

At this moment, a large group of people came running, and about twenty or thirty people surrounded the carriage.

The sound of horse hooves shaking the ground makes people feel inexplicably uneasy.

Seeing that the leader was Xie Shiyuan, Xiaolian raised her lips and shouted excitedly: "Miss, look, it's my son-in-law!"

Xiaolian lifted the car curtain and helped the person out.

Qu Yingying was a little surprised by his appearance. Could it be that the Fifth Princess wanted to take action here and sent Xie Shiyuan? Fanghua really disregarded the law and is not pretending now?

Facing the large group of people approaching, an invisible pressure made her breathless. At this moment, her eyes were somewhat powerless, and she held Xiaolian's hand tightly to keep herself steady.

The tall horse slowly approached, and Xie Shiyuan got off the horse with an anxious look on his face.

Because he was worried about Qu Yingying, he had to bring more people. Seeing that she was fine, he was relieved for a moment, but then he saw that her face was solemn and seemed to be unwell. Xie Shiyuan asked with concern: "Yingying, what's wrong with you?"

"No problem." Qu Yingying waved her hand. "Why did you bring so many people with you?"

Xie Shiyuan stepped forward, took her hand, and walked to the hill nearby. After avoiding everyone, the two stood side by side. "It was the Eighth Princess who told me that you had been out of the city for half a day and had not returned."

"She?" She was really so kind, Qu Yingying was puzzled.

"Yes, it was her," Xie Shiyuan said, "I have investigated some things these days. Of course, it was her who helped Ning Fanghua's people kidnap you at the banquet, and it was also her who arrested Miss Xia Lian in the name of venting her fifth sister's anger."

Qu Yingying asked in disbelief: "Are you saying that she did all this?"

"No." After a pause, Xie Shiyuan said, "It was Ning Fanghua who kidnapped you out of the city with the intention of destroying you. Xia Lian was insignificant. I think it was Ning Xinyu who found out that Xia Lian was almost bought into a brothel, and it was someone from Prince Li's Mansion who paid the ransom."

"So Ning Xinyu deliberately took the opportunity to vent Ning Fanghua's anger so that she could provoke King Li, and she even disregarded a life for this." Hearing this, Qu Yingying's voice trembled a little.

"No, how can she be sure? How can she be sure that she can offend King Li? Well, even if she fails to make an enemy, she is giving face to Ning Fanghua."

"But why does she do this?" Qu Yingying was choked with sobs and was unable to speak. She almost forgot that it was she, Qu Yingying, who was engaged to the Third Prince.

Rather than hating Ning Fanghua, at this moment, what Ning Xinyu did made him feel horrible.

Xie Shiyuan supported her and wiped the tears from Qu Yingying's eyes with a handkerchief, "Yingying, I'm sorry, I have caused you trouble."

Qu Yingying shook her head. "It has nothing to do with you. Can you lend me your shoulder to lean on?"

"it is good"

Tired of crying, she nestled in Xie Shiyuan's arms, not only mocking herself, "I always thought my stepmother was mean and treated me badly, but I never saw any bad people like her. Now it seems that I am not experienced enough in the world. I didn't expect that Ning Xinyu, a girl of only thirteen or fourteen years old, had such a vicious mind."

"Behind Ning Xinyun is the imperial concubine"

"Why?" Qu Yingying was puzzled. When she visited the imperial concubine before, she seemed very kind to her.

Thinking that Ning Xinyue had tested him more than once and that she seemed to be very interested in her engagement gift, Qu Yingying took out the dagger from her arms.

"This is the engagement gift between me and the Third Prince Ning Yuan," Qu Yingying handed him the dagger. "Ning Fanghua often asked me where this thing is. Even my stepmother asked, but she didn't believe it was a dagger."

Xie Shiyuan looked at the short blade. The scabbard was ordinary and had no special features, but the short blade was extremely sharp.

"I've seen it countless times. It's just an ordinary short knife."

"Can you give me this dagger? I will find the answer and tell you." Xie Shiyuan said, "Are you willing?"

"Okay," she answered without hesitation.

When leaving, Xie Shiyuan reminded him, "You must not tell anyone else about what happened today."

"But" she couldn't be with Ning Xinyue. When she thought of that person who called her sister with a calm face, she felt very upset.

Xie Shiyuan comforted her, "I know you. I told you the truth so that you would be on guard and not be taken advantage of. You should be careful with Ning Xinyun and it's best not to go out with her."

"Then you leave the city today. Aren't you afraid that Ning Fanghua will do something out of line?"

"It's okay, you can go back early." Xie Shiyuan helped the person into the carriage.

"You too, take care."

After the carriage left, I thought about what I had done today. I knew I was being tricked, but I still came here.

But when I returned to the princess's mansion, I didn't see Ning Fanghua angry, and the ninth princess Ning Xinyue was chatting with her fifth sister.

"Fifth sister, look, the person is back."

He stepped forward and bowed, "Meet the two princesses."

Ning Xinyun joked: "Where are you going, Master Xie? You look so exhausted."

"I..." He looked at the person who was sitting silently beside him. Ning Xinyue did not let him go and forced him to do what he was doing.

"I heard from the Ninth Princess that there are flowers in the east that the Fifth Princess likes. I don't know what kind they are, so I picked some."

"Really?" Ning Fanghua looked at Xie Shiyuan with a smile. As one basket of flowers after another was brought up, the whole pavilion was soon surrounded by flowers and the fragrance of flowers filled the air.

"I hope the princess likes it." He walked forward, picked up a azalea flower and handed it to Ning Fanghua.

Ning Fanghua happily held Xie Shiyuan's hand and said, "So that's how it is."

"Pin it on my head"

Ning Xinyun rolled her eyes and said, "Fifth sister, these flowers are sold in the market. It would be strange if he picked them one by one."

In the end, Ning Fanghua ignored her and asked someone to take good care of the flowers.

"No, I'm sure you'll be fooled by such poor acting skills, you idiot." Ning Xinyun was so angry that she jumped up and down, then turned and left.
