Chapter 11 Testing
Chapter 11 Testing
Su Wan opened her eyes wide. This voice?
Seeing that everyone had quieted down, Xie Yin let go and walked over to the desk and sat down cross-legged.
"Long time no see, Madam Zheng."
Xie Yin sat there quietly, the dim light casting a soft glow on his beautiful face, but his cold smile could not be softened.
Su Wan felt uneasy, but when she saw the tiny beads of sweat on Xie Yin's head and thought that the scent of pine and cypress on his body seemed to be covered by something, she felt relieved.
It was the smell of blood, he was injured.
"I don't think there's any reason for Shuji and I to see each other often."
As if realizing he had been exposed, Xie Yin frowned slightly, "Young Madam, you have deceived our company so badly."
"Could Chief Xie be cheated again?" Su Wan said calmly as she sat in front of the small desk opposite with stacks of account books.
Xie Yin was first surprised by Su Wan's attitude and then chuckled. She guessed that she was injured and looked at her without knowing what to do to her.
"So you were the one who closed the outer door in order to come and confront me?"
"You are the one who got framed because of your own poor performance, so don't blame our company."
Su Wan: There’s nothing good about my body except my face.
Xie Yin sat up straight and said, "There's no need to blame me. I just want to borrow some medicine from Madam."
The poison had recurred in recent days, and I was being plotted against. That idiot Cang Yi wasn't around. I was careless and got hurt. I couldn't move, and the guards here were lax. What a coincidence!
Su Wan raised her eyelids, as if surprised that Xie Yin had revealed his true identity. She clutched her teacup, her eyes gleaming with innocence. But Xie Yin knew this woman was holding back.
"Chief Xie, aren't you afraid that I'll bring people here and arrest you? If this gets out in public, you'll be charged with trespassing and will be convicted."
Xie Yin laughed, "I'm afraid that before this company is even found guilty, the honorable Second Young Master's wife will be kicked out."
Su Wan's mouth curled up.
This was true. If Su Wan exposed Xie Yin, Qin and Wen would easily accuse her of adultery and expel her from the house. By then, let alone revenge, she would be drowned in spit the moment she took a step forward.
This guy is not afraid. He has done everything, whether shameless or not. This deal is not worth it.
Facing Su Wan's unexpected response, Xie Yin was completely oblivious. "Young Madam, please be kind. Doing good deeds and accumulating virtues suits your temperament."
Su Wan smiled faintly. The reason she had told Xie Yin about the Zheng family's entry into the valley was to create a chance for them to fight against the Zheng family together in the future. But Su Wan didn't want to be manipulated like this. Cooperation should be equal.
"Thank you, Chief. I rarely do good deeds. Now that you're at a disadvantage, if you want me to help you, you have to show your sincerity."
Xie Yin's smile gradually faded. He closed his eyes and sighed deeply. He couldn't kill her, and now the poison had resurfaced. He shouldn't get angry. It was so frustrating!
"Young Madam, you don't want to end your best years because of criticism, do you?" Xie Yin couldn't hold it in any longer.
After a moment of silence, Su Wan saw Xie Yin's sweat beads getting bigger and bigger. She slowly stood up and said, "Thinking about how powerful he was in the past, now he's been beaten so badly that he can't even go home."
"Bang!" A short blade suddenly stopped in front of Su Wan, and she staggered immediately.
"I'm just injured, not deaf!" He gritted his teeth and said, "Isn't it good to be alive?"
Su Wan felt that the person behind him was suppressing his anger. So was this his bottom line?
"Young Madam!" Just at this moment the courtyard gate opened and Liushang's voice was heard.
Su Wan turned around and smiled at the cold face. The footsteps outside the door were getting closer and closer.
Su Wan looked at Xie Yin, whose face was calm, and then reached out and banged the door open.
"Please forgive me, Madam Second Young Master, I have delayed you for some time." Sui Xin said hurriedly as she watched Su Wan coming out.
"How dare you say that!" Liu Shang shouted.
"what happened?"
"I heard something was wrong, so I went out to check, but someone had closed the door."
Sui Xin shook her head and said, "It's not me!"
"Then why did you take so long to come?" Liu Shang persisted.
"Young Madam, please understand. The eldest young lady encountered an emergency at her house and was delayed."
Su Wan snorted and laughed, "I'm also working for the Madam right now. If I'm delayed, do you want me to apologize to her?"
She guessed that Qin would let Sui Xin teach her a lesson, but if something happened in Qin's yard, could she bear the consequences?
Sui Xin knelt down and said, "I dare not. I will check the account book for you."
Su Wan said lazily, "But if my sister-in-law knew about this, she would think I was being lazy."
Sui Xin was at a loss. When she looked up, she saw Su Wan looking at her calmly. Under the bright moonlight, her face was as cold as frost and snow. Seeing that cold expression, Sui Xin's whole body shuddered, and she suddenly thought of Qiao Hui today.
At this time, Xie Yin was also looking at the cold profile through the gap. This was a biting cat.
"You're negligent today." Su Wan's voice was soft. "Go to the outer courtyard and help me guard the door."
The seemingly light punishment was actually extremely insulting; this was her revenge. Sui Xin, thinking of the eldest young lady's visit to the manor, didn't dare to interfere and could only accept the request with a sullen expression.
Su Wan took the lamp and asked Liu Shang to guard it in the yard.
He entered the house and handed a purple medicine bottle to Xie Yin. Xie Yin took the bottle and complained lightly, "If I had been a moment later, I would have died at your hands."
Even all the wealthy and powerful families in the capital would beat drums and gongs to protest.
Xie Yin had no idea what Su Wan was thinking. His hands and mouth kept moving, and he asked, "I didn't expect that Madam Su also knew medicine?"
This medicine was obviously made by herself. It not only stopped bleeding but also detoxified. Could she detoxify?
Su Wan didn't even look up. "It's just some small skills."
In fact, Su Wan also had her own thoughts. She just wanted to expose her strengths, perhaps to gain some bargaining chips in the future.
After a moment, Xie Yin straightened his clothes, stood up, and held the medicine bottle in his hand. "I have a pet that was accidentally poisoned while out for a walk. The doctor examined it and said that while it's not in danger of death, the poison still remains in its body. I wonder if Madam Su can help treat it?"
That pet is yourself.
Su Wan suddenly looked up as if a little surprised, "Master Xie actually has a pet?"
Xie Yin paused, looking into Su Wan's clear eyes. The coldness around him grew stronger. He frowned and approached Su Wan, pinching her chin and asking, "Young Madam, do you always like to test other people's patience?"
"Does the Chief have patience?" Su Wan retorted without any fear.
Xie Yin chuckled, "Very good! I hope to see you again someday. Madam is still as arrogant as before."
"Then I look forward to having the honor of meeting Xie Shousi's pet."
Xie Yin still didn't let go, his deep eyes seemed to see through him. "I heard that Mr. Su is missing?"
Su Wan's eyes flickered upon hearing this, as if she were filled with a strong anger. Her gaze was sharp as she said, "I think the Zheng family should know something."
Xie Yin got a response, looked at the woman in front of him, and then she turned and disappeared.
Looking at the empty inner room, Su Wan slumped over the table, her back already drenched in cold sweat. Liu Shang walked in and supported Su Wan. She heard Su Wan talking to someone, but that was the Young Madam's business.
When Xie Yin returned to the Xie Mansion, Cang Yi came to greet him with a worried look on his face. "Young Master, are you okay?"
"By the time you remember me, you might have changed your master!" Xie Yin walked into the house and slammed the door shut.
Cang Yi lay on the crack of the door, feeling uneasy. He was sure to be beaten!
"Come in and die!"
"Hey! Here I come!" Cang Yi stepped over the threshold in two steps.
"Find me a cat."
"what?"
"Go get the poison and feed it to the cat. Tell the doctor that the cat is not dead."
Cang Yi was surprised, "What are you going to do?"
"Detoxify the cat."
Cang Yi looked up at Xie Yin. Has the poison already penetrated into his brain?
Cang Yi was busy looking for the cat, and after Su Wan returned to the yard, she began to plan to expand the shop and other things. She was busy for several days and had no idea that Qin, who had returned from the farm, was angry.
"Bang!" A sandalwood box with powder on it brushed against Qiaohui's forehead, making her injury even worse.
"I wanted to keep things quiet, but I didn't expect Su Wan to be so stubborn!" If you don't teach her a lesson, you will be ignorant of your own limitations.
