Chapter 120: In Yanyuan, Yan Heng’s Partiality
Xia Xiaoying seemed even more frightened than Chu Xianyun, "Xiaorou, don't go."
She held Xia Xiaorou's arm tightly, her face full of worry.
Zhu Yun was also worried, but it was Yan Heng who invited Xia Xiaorou, so she dared not disobey the order.
"Madam Xia, don't worry. Mr. Yan is here to take care of everything. No one dares to make things difficult for you." Zhu Yun said.
"You don't have to worry about me. I'll be fine." Xia Xiaorou said to Xia Xiaoying and Chu Xianyun. She shook Xia Xiaoying's hand again. "I have to face her sooner or later. It's better to face her sooner than later."
"But you..." Xia Xiaoying looked at Xia Xiaorou's belly.
"I'll be smarter." Xia Xiaorou smiled slightly.
She patted Xia Xiaoying's hand and nodded to Zhu Yun, "Let's go. I'll take your carriage to Yanyuan."
Zhu Yun personally helped her into the car and drove away.
Xia Xiaoying was so worried that she kept watching the carriage go away before she walked back to the yard.

Xia Xiaorou followed Zhu Yun and came to Yanyuan.
After getting off the carriage at the gate of the manor, Zhu Yun accompanied Xia Xiaorou to the back of the house.
After walking a few steps, Xia Xiaorou met Wen Xiashu's coachman, who was talking to a guard from Yan Yuan.
Seeing Xia Xiaorou coming, he stared with wide eyes, pointed at Xia Xiaorou and said angrily, "Oh wow, it turned out to be you!"
As he said this, he rolled up his sleeves and rushed towards Xia Xiaorou.
Zhu Yun stopped him, put Xia Xiaorou behind her, raised her hand and slapped the driver, "How dare you! This is Mr. Yan's fiancée, Madam Xia! How dare you, Anguo Mansion, offend people from Yan Garden?"
The driver's head was buzzing after being slapped, but he soon woke up.
what?
This young woman is actually Yan Heng’s fiancée?
Is it the legendary Lady Xia?
He was so frightened that his face turned pale. He didn't even dare to cover the pain on his face. He quickly took two steps back and saluted Xia Xiaorou, "Madam Xia, I am rude."
"Hmph!" Zhu Yun snorted coldly and supported Xia Xiaorou and continued walking towards the back house.
Wen Xiashu's coachman wanted to run to the backyard to remind Wen Xiashu, but as a coachman, he couldn't go to the backyard.
He wanted to find someone to help pass the message, but this was Yan Heng's manor, and he couldn't find anyone to pass the message.
All Yan Heng's people are very loyal and will not accept tips to pass on messages.
Wen Xiashu's driver scratched his head, feeling anxious and scared.
Because he was worried that Wen Xiashu would punish him in the future.
-
Xia Xiaorou followed Zhu Yun and came to Yan Heng's small garden.
There were women talking in the garden.
Judging from the voice, it was Wen Xiashu's.
Xia Xiaorou thought of her father who died unjustly and her grandparents who were implicated. She suppressed her anger, clenched her fists in her sleeves, and walked forward calmly.
Yan Heng and Wen Xiashu were standing by the hot spring pool in the small garden and talking. They said a few words and laughed.
A handsome and elegant man in a jade-white robe.
A beautiful lady in purple with a graceful figure.
No wonder Ji Qingchen said they were a couple.
Yan Heng heard footsteps and turned around.
He smiled and stretched out his hand to Xia Xiaorou, "Xiaorou, come here."
The voice was gentle, just as before.
But Xia Xiaorou glanced at Wen Xiashu and did not step forward. Instead, she stood five steps away from Yan Heng and bowed slightly, "Mr. Yan." She stood up again and nodded to Wen Xiashu, "I guess this lady is Miss Wen Si. Miss Wen Si, I am honored."
Wen Xiashu recognized Xia Xiaorou's voice and asked, "Is it you?"
Xia Xiaorou blinked and pretended to be ignorant and asked, "Has Miss Wen Si seen me?"
Wen Xiashu choked and didn't know how to respond.
That day in the carriage, she heard Xia Xiaorou's voice.
But she was someone who refused to admit defeat. She pulled Yan Heng's sleeve and said, "Yan... Mr. Yan, do you know? I wanted to come visit you the day before yesterday, but on the way, her carriage knocked me into a ditch. My clothes were stained with mud, and the carriage was also soaked in mud. I had to go back to the county town to repair the carriage and change clothes, so I was late."
She tried to look very aggrieved and rolled up her sleeves to show Yan Heng, "Look, there is a mark here, it was caused by falling into the ditch and being scratched on the carriage.
Yan Heng said calmly, "If you are injured, go back to the capital to see a doctor. The doctors here are only half-baked and can't cure your icy skin."
He didn't look at Wen Xiashu, but walked towards Xia Xiaorou and helped her up, "Are you frightened?"
Xia Xiaorou raised her head and looked at Yan Heng's eyes.
It was really strange that she could actually see tension in Yan Heng's eyes.
Shouldn't he be worried about Wen Xiashu?
"It's okay. I'm a woman from the village. I've been used to climbing high and stepping low since I was a child, so I'm not afraid of being frightened." Xia Xiaorou lowered her eyes.
Yan Heng helped Xia Xiaorou walk into the house, "I'll call a doctor to check on you. Don't be startled. It's not good to hold on."
Xia Xiaorou's nerves immediately became tense.
"I'm fine. Mr. Yan, please arrange for someone to check on Fourth Miss Wen's injuries. Fourth Miss is the Queen Mother's adopted daughter. If there are any scars on her arm, it will be bad if the Queen Mother asks about it when she returns to the capital."
Mr. Yan looked at her and said, "Xiao Rou, how do you know she is the Queen Mother's adopted daughter?"
Xia Xiaorou was slightly stunned, as if Yan Heng had never said that.
"I heard it from Ji Langjun. He said so." Xia Xiaorou made an excuse.
Ji Qingchen is a big mouth and can't keep quiet.
Yan Heng sneered, "He always talks too much."
Wen Xiashu also took the opportunity to complain that her arm was in severe pain.
Yan Heng looked indifferent and shouted to the small hall, "Heying, send Miss Wen Si back to the county town and invite the best doctor. Most of the doctors in this village are not very skilled. If Miss Wen Zhong's arm is damaged, if the Queen Mother blames us, we will not be able to bear the responsibility."
"Yes, Mr. Yan." He Ying replied.
She walked out of the side hall and nodded to Wen Xiashu, "Fourth Miss Wen, please?"
Wen Xiashu's face changed. Go to the county town to see a doctor?
This is a disguised way of driving her away.
She had just arrived in Yanyuan and she didn't want to go back to the county town so soon.
Wen Xiashu waved her hands hurriedly, "No, no, Mr. Yan, I...my arm is not seriously injured. I don't need to go back to the county to see a doctor."
Yan Heng raised her eyebrows lightly, "Is it really not serious?"
"Really, really, it's not serious." Wen Xiashu said repeatedly.
"I'm fine too, no need to call a doctor." Xia Xiaorou also said.
"The severity of external injuries can be seen at a glance, but internal injuries are not easy to see. We need to take a closer look." Yan Heng insisted on asking a doctor to treat Xia Xiaorou.
Xia Xiaorou declined, saying that she was familiar with Doctor Chen and she would go to see Doctor Chen whenever she had a headache or fever.
Doctor Chen had already told us whether she was fine or not.
When the situation was at a stalemate, Ji Qingchen walked into the garden, "Yan Heng, your door was not closed, so I came in." Seeing Wen Xiashu was also there, and then seeing Xia Xiaorou, Ji Qingchen's eyes widened immediately, "Did I come at a bad time?"
"No, you came at the right time." Yan Heng nodded to Ji Qingchen, "Miss Wen has no one to accompany her, so you can accompany her to take a walk outside the manor. I won't accompany her."
After saying that, he took Xia Xiaorou's hand and walked into the small hall.
