Chapter 263: Feng Xi Xi
"Brother, how should I repay you?"
"What do you want? Money, position, help— as long as my Feng Family can give, I'll give you all."
"In the little maid's eyes was a serious look; when she looked at Jiang Yunchu, it seemed as if she saw her savior."
"If it weren't for the older sister, she and her grandmother would probably have more misfortune than fortune."
"She grew up in the Feng Family; although she had her mother protecting her and her grandmother doting on her from childhood, those collateral relatives often provoked her."
"Just because she is a girl."
"Just because, when her mother gave birth to her, she injured her body and could no longer bear an heir for the Feng Family."
"This led to the collateral branches being lively and restless, constantly trying to insert someone to inherit the Feng Family."
"As long as Feng Xi Xi is here, she watches— who dares?"
"In an instant, the little girl's gaze became much firmer, but upon seeing Jiang Yunchu, it turned serious again."
"Moreover, she knelt down directly on the ground."
"A lifesaving kindness cannot be repaid."
"She had knelt to heaven and earth since childhood, but never to a person; yet this older sister before her is the first."
"I swear, as long as I have it."
"Even if it means the Feng Family, what then? It's better to give it to the older sister in front of me than to that pack of white-eyed wolves; at least she likes me, at least she saved my grandmother and me."
"A man's knees hold gold, and so do a woman's."
"Jiang Yunchu hastily bent over; she had just been taking the old lady's pulse and didn't have time to react."
"I didn't expect this girl to be so straightforward and strong-willed; it even earned her a bit of admiration."
"Miss, remember, whatever a man has, you have."
"What a man cannot do, you can."
"A young woman's knees can bow to heaven, to earth, to parents, but not to others."
"Remembered?"
"She helped Feng Xi Xi up from the ground, looking at the little girl's adoring expression— what the heck?"
"Remembered."
"But Xi Xi wants to repay you!" Feng Xi Xi answered firmly.
"Xi Xi?"
"Feng Family?"
"Feng Xi Xi?"
"Jiang Yunchu lowered her head, looking at that stubborn little face, and couldn't help laughing out loud."
"No wonder it feels familiar, no wonder there's a sense of closeness, no wonder it seems like déjà vu, no wonder I can't bear to see her wronged."
"So that's how it is!"
"Feng Xi Xi, of the Jiangnan Feng Family, is one of the four great clans."
"And Kang Baihe's marital home is the Jiangnan Feng Family; Kang Baihe has only one daughter, named Feng Xi Xi."
"This…"
"That feeling of déjà vu— isn't it just like my great-aunt?"
"\"You want to repay me? \" she chuckled lightly, then rubbed Feng Xi Xi's hair; unlike her previous attitude, now she could be certain this was her own junior."
"She felt a bit closer in her heart."
"Hmm."
"The little girl nodded, her big eyes filled with clear water, carrying a hint of stubbornness."
"\"Xi Xi, remember, we will meet again. \""
"\"When we meet again, I'll tell you how you should repay me, okay? \""
"Jiang Yunchu smiled and gave her an outer garment."
"\"Old lady, are you awake? \" Jiang Yunchu heard the movement on the bed and hurriedly got up to look."
"The old lady was first wary, but upon seeing Jiang Yunchu she smiled, especially when she saw a richly dressed lady sitting by the table."
"\"What's happened to us? \" the old lady put on a garment and hurriedly stood up."
"Her ingrained upbringing prevents her from speaking while lying down."
"Moreover, she felt her head clearer, her vision also became lucid."
"\"Someone gave you Deluding Mist; this young master noticed the abnormality, shouted loudly, and those people fled in fright. \""
"\"He also had the shopkeeper open the door; I came in first to check your clothing, after I finished, this young master came in to treat you. \""
"\"I've been staying by your side the whole time, old lady, you can rest assured. \""
"That lady feared the old lady would misunderstand, so she hurriedly spoke up to explain."
"After all, that young master is a man; entering the room is inherently improper."
"But given the circumstances, there was nothing to be done."
"\"Don't worry, don't worry, I thank the lady for her kindness. \" The old lady rose slightly, intending to perform a bow."
"Judging by her attire and manner, she is no ordinary lady; sending her away with money would chill the heart."
"Etiquette must be observed, and precious gifts must be prepared."
"She is old; if she dies, she dies; if she lives, she still worries the family. But little Xiao Xi Xi is different— she is still a child, just eight years old, and has a long life ahead."
"How could we let something happen to her?"
"When the old lady's eyes swept over her granddaughter, Feng Xi Xi's gaze also instantly turned to the old lady; she walked over slowly and leaned into the old lady's embrace."
"\"Grandma, you frightened Xi Xi to death. \" Now she is no longer like a little adult; instead she has become a little girl's demeanor, that full face of longing anyone can see."
"Grandma's fine, her head doesn't hurt anymore, she's much better." The old lady smiled and tidied her granddaughter's clothes.
"Since it's fine, I'll go back to sleep."
While speaking, Jiang Yunchu also yawned, then helplessly said, "I'm sleepy."
The old madam smiled and shook her head; she's also a carefree person.
"Young Master, may I leave a name? And your residence? Then I will personally thank you." The old madam was very moved; fortunately she met her.
Jiang Yunchu's hand on the door suddenly stopped; she then looked toward the old madam, and also glanced at Feng Xi Xi.
"Old madam, you're being polite; I and your granddaughter already have other arrangements; for this matter, you need not worry."
"Right, this medicine bottle—when your headache is severe, you can take one pill; it will make you feel much better." She took out a medicine bottle from her bosom, not the previous two bottles, but a unique one.
The small porcelain bottle is white, but on it is painted a very peculiar red plant, more like a weed.
"I'll take it." Feng Xi Xi ran over; before receiving the medicine bottle, she bowed deeply, then picked up the bottle, "Thank you... Young Master."
She paused a moment; naturally she knew what she wanted to call her, but calling her "older sister"... didn't seem quite right.
Forget it; we'll meet again later.
After all, her destination is also Jiangnan!
Thank you.
Jiang Yunchu waved her hand, then opened the door and left the room.
