He didn't sleep well the night before, so as soon as the regular meeting this morning was dismissed, Zong Zhengxi lay down on his seat and took a short rest. The assistant brought him a blanket and put it on him, and then quietly left the council hall.
By the time Zong Zhengxi heard about the incident of Qi Wanqing going to the side hall to stir up trouble, two hours had passed since Jian Su was bullied.
The man who was in such a hurry that he even forgot what he had sworn just last night was feeling angry and anxious in his heart - I don't know if that stupid girl was hurt anywhere, damn, why can't she stay still?
You are in the palace, what are you doing outside?
When he met Qi Wanqing on the road, Zong Zhengxi lost his previous arrogance towards her and looked at her with fire in his eyes. Without saying a word, he grabbed her thin wrist and said, "What did you do? Tell me!"
Such a man who is so impatient and furious is really not the Zongzheng Xi that Qi Wanqing knows.
Before Qi Wanqing could finish speaking, Zong Zhengxi had already cut her off harshly, "Don't let me know where Su Su knocked, otherwise, I will definitely make you look good."
Qi Wanqing also got angry when she heard what he said.
Damn it, what good is that damn little lunatic? How could he defend her like this? How could he...
Her face instantly became distorted, but before Qi Wanqing could say her accusation, Zong Zhengxi had already thrown her aside, almost pushing her to the ground.
When Qi Wanqing stabilized her body and looked towards where Zong Zhengxi originally stood, the man had already disappeared.
Jian Su dipped a sterile cotton swab in hydrogen peroxide and applied it to his wound.
The wound was about the size of three coins. After Jian simply disinfected it, he took out the ointment.
When Zong Zhengxi suddenly pushed open Jian Su's bedroom door, what he saw was Jian Su wrapping gauze around her legs.
Startled by the sudden push of the door, Jian Su couldn't help but look up at the door.
For a moment, both of them were at a loss, and then Jian Su, who regained her composure first, lowered her head and sealed the bandage.
Zong Zhengxi later realized that he had been too reckless, but he finally chose to move forward.
She had just told Jian Su not to meet him, but at this moment, Zong Zhengxi was letting him take care of the scratch on his elbow.
At noon, she was accidentally hit by Qi Wanqing. Jian Su slipped and fell to the ground and almost scratched her face. Fortunately, the wound on her face was not that serious and could be easily recovered.
It's not that Jian Su cares about the appearance too much, it's just that the injury is elsewhere and it's not easy for outsiders to see it. But if her face is injured, it will inevitably attract people to talk about it. She doesn't want to make herself the subject of discussion and criticism.
"Okay, tell me, what happened?"
Seemingly reluctant to leave, Zong Zhengxi grabbed Jian Su's hand and looked around while speaking, without letting go of her.
Jian Su looked away uncomfortably, paused, and said, "Sir, thank you for helping me apply the medicine. But I will solve my own problems myself."
Zong Zhengxi finally convinced himself not to worry about what she said last night, but Jian Su's attitude was firmer than he imagined. Look, she's here again...
Jian Su withdrew her hand without permission, without looking at the man who was in a slightly worse mental state, "Sir, do you want a drink of water? I'll pour you a glass."
As she said that, she was about to get out of bed, but before she could finish, Zong Zhengxi suddenly stood up and said, "No, since you don't want me to interfere in your affairs, I'd better leave first."
After saying that, Zong Zhengxi left the room without any hesitation. Jian Su hugged her knees for a long time, feeling that she was going round and round, and there was only a chill around her body.
But this is her choice, she will not and cannot change it...
Qi Wanqing was directly invited out of the Ever Palace by Zong Zhengxi. Along with Qi's father and mother, Zong Zhengxi also asked his family to persuade them to return to the south of Bra City as soon as possible.
Bra City, the capital of country Z, is divided into northern and southern parts. The southern part has relatively developed planting, animal husbandry and flower markets, while the northern part has relatively high scientific and technological strength and commercial level.
In contrast, more young people will be willing to open up wasteland in the northern part of Bra City and explore the world.
Jian Su spread out her dwarf costume on the bed.
The clothes now had some flaws, and she couldn't say she was distressed, but she felt a bit reluctant and sad anyway.
Dwarf, dwarf...
Recalling what Qi Wanqing said when pushing her, "Stop dreaming of flying up a branch and becoming a phoenix, you are not worthy." "The earth does not need a lunatic like you. Go back as far as Mars is." "Don't miss me."
If you want to sit down at the table, otherwise you will see the most regretful thing in your life." "A clown is a clown and will never be on the stage." Jian Su suppressed the humiliation in her heart and used needle and thread to sew her costume.
Inadvertently, the center of her finger was pricked by a silver needle. Jian Su felt pain, but her face regained some vitality.
Sucking the blood from her index finger, for a moment Jian Su heard a voice in her heart asking: Why bother, Su Su, wouldn't it be better to rely more on others?
Is it not good?
But who can she rely on without any scruples?
No, there is no such person.
How pitiful that she has lost the ability to completely trust someone.
Putting away the dwarf clothes, Jian Su leaned slumped against her wardrobe. After a long time, she touched the necklace around her neck.
Mom, Susu, did you do something wrong?
Susu wants to bear everything by herself, and Susu doesn't want others to interfere too much in my life. But I pushed someone who was so good to me out of the door. In this way, am I really not doing anything wrong?
Can't get an answer.
Jian Su couldn't count on anyone to give her an answer.
There was a dazed look on her face, and she didn't even notice that someone was knocking on the door outside.
Yin Na couldn't knock the door for a long time, so she simply turned the doorknob herself.
The moment the door opened, the eyes of the old man and the young man met, and Jian Su suddenly felt that the place where Yin Na was was so warm. But she was actually timid to take even one step away.
"My lady, are you unhappy? Yin Na heard about Miss Qi. Don't be sad, Miss. Yin Na also cares about Miss Qi."
The old man thought Jian Su was frightened, so he hurried forward and hugged her, patting her back again and again.
Jian Su hugged the old man back. After an unknown amount of time, her stiff little face finally showed some bright and warm light.
Open your eyes and blink, and in a blink of an eye, the day has passed.
Today is Sunday, and there is a masquerade ball held by Stani in the evening. Jian Su directly changed into a dwarf costume in the evening, and then Yin Na added some more decorations to her.
