She witnessed with her own eyes Jamel Xiao carrying the woman into the Xiao Mansion, and witnessed him speaking softly to the woman in his arms. As for what he said, she couldn't bear to listen!
She stayed near Xiao's Mansion like this, watching the door of Xiao's Mansion open, and the guards at the door respectfully welcomed Xiao Jingyao into the house. She seemed not surprised that Xiao Jingyao was holding the woman, and her feet were as heavy as lead.
, never stepped forward and entered the Xiao Mansion to question Jamel Xiao...
She watched helplessly as the door of Xiao Mansion was closed again, shutting out everything from the outside world. It was as if everything in Xiao Mansion had nothing to do with her!
"Miss, why don't you go forward and question me?" Qiu Yan also saw what Li Jingyou saw. If he hadn't been concerned about his lady's safety, Qiu Yan would have rushed forward and asked Xiao Jingyao why he let his lady down.
!
Li Jingyou's head was buzzing and she couldn't even hear clearly what Qiu Yan said. She just stood outside the door of Xiao's mansion without moving even half a step until the sky suddenly darkened and dark clouds covered the sky.
It was not yet night, and thick dark clouds were pressing above people's heads, making them breathless.
A shocking bolt of lightning struck, piercing the dark clouds in the sky, and a sudden heavy rain fell, accompanied by thunder and lightning.
The whole Lanling was suddenly shrouded in the dim sky, and the pedestrians on the road also quickened their pace. Qiu Yan did not bring an umbrella in his hand, and saw the rain getting heavier and heavier. However, Li Jingyou still stood there in a daze, and quickly raised his hand to cover Li Jingyou.
Jingyou raised her head, trying to block the heavy rain for Li Jingyou.
"Miss, it's raining too hard. Let's get back to the carriage quickly!" Qiu Yan urged.
Li Jingyou remained silent, just standing in the rain, waiting for the heavy rain to wet herself, as if this would completely wake her up.
Qiu Yan was so anxious that he stamped his feet. Seeing that the young lady was unwilling to leave at all, he said impulsively: "If the young lady is unwilling to leave, Qiu Yan will knock on the door of Xiao's house. Instead of the young lady standing here alone and feeling sad,
, why not find a chance to make it clear to Xiao Jingyao, and our long journey to Lanling will not be in vain!"
Only then did Li Jingyou react to her words. She grabbed Qiu Yan's wrist and whispered: "Qiu Yan, don't go!"
Qiu Yan also knew that her young lady was stubborn, so she sighed helplessly and persuaded: "Do you plan to stand here in the rain all the time? Xiao Jingyao obviously failed you, but you want to stand here in the rain and hurt yourself..."
…”
What she was more worried about was that her young lady was caught in the rain and was deeply affected. If she fell seriously ill in Lanling, how would she, as a personal maid, explain to the master and the young master?!
Just when Qiu Yan didn't know what to do, an oil-paper umbrella was suddenly raised above Li Jingyou's head to block the violent storm.
Qiu Yan was the first to react and shouted in surprise and joy: "Master Xiao——"
Li Jingyou slowly raised her head, and sure enough she saw Xiao Heng, who looked slightly tired, appearing in front of her holding an umbrella.
"Aren't you out on business? Why are you here?" Li Jingyou asked in surprise.
Xiao Heng did not answer her immediately, but pulled her into his arms and said in a deep voice: "Don't say anything, just leave here with me first!"
It was the first time he spoke to her in such a strong tone. She was silent for a moment, nodded and decided to leave with him.
