“I’m going to stay in the mansion for a few days. Let’s find a time to spar,” Xue Qi said.

“Alright, no problem,” Jiang Changbai replied with a smile.

Jiang Changbai smiled as he heard Xue Qi’s proposal.

Such was the bond of male friendship. Witnessing the camaraderie, a smile appeared on Jiang Peihuan’s face. She softly said to her brother, “Elder brother, since you’re here, I’ll leave Cousin Qi in your care. I’m off to visit Xin Er at our third aunt’s courtyard.”

“Are you going to see Miss Liu?”

“Yes, she’s injured, isn’t she? I’m taking Ye Xiao with me to see her.”

“In that case, 1’11 accompany you.”

Just as Jiang Changbai offered to go with her, Jiang Peihuan was quick to object, “Elder brother, it’s quite late now. It’s not appropriate for you to visit Xin Er.”

“Grandmother already disapproves of your relationship with Xin Er. If you visit her at this hour and if she hears about this visit, it will only make things worse for Xin Er.”

Hearing this, Jiang Changbai frowned, but he knew that what Jian Peihuan said was correct. He did not say anything, but nodded. “Alright, then I’ll bring Ah Qi inside.”

“Don’t worry, if anything happens to Xin Er, I’ll send someone to inform you,” Jiang Peihuan assured.

“Okay.”

Seeing her nod, Jiang Peihuan bowed to Xue Qi, “Cousin, sorry for the inconvenience. 1’11 come find you again tomorrow.”

“Sure, go handle your business. I’ll be just fine.”

Hearing this, Xue Qi waved his hand dismissively and followed Jiang Changbai into the courtyard.

As he watched Jiang Peihuan leave, Xue Qi took hold of Jiang Changbai’s hand. “Changbai, it seems like you have a special place in your heart for Xin Er. Is she the one you fancy?”

Xue Qi was just being inquisitive. But Jiang Changbai, surprisingly, nodded in agreement, “Indeed, she’s the one I have feelings for.”

“Which family is she from, and what is her personality like?”

Seeing Jiang Changbai nod, the curiosity sparked in Xue Qi eyes.

Always eager and curious, Xue Qi, considering Jiang Changbai his close friend, eagerly asked more.

Given the circumstances surrounding Liu Xin, Jiang Changbai felt somewhat disheartened. When Xue Qi asked, he explained the details of his situation with Liu Xin.

Xue Qi listened attentively without interrupting.

Seeing Jiang Changbai’s distress, he couldn’t help but offer some advice, “Changbai, if you have feelings for Miss Liu, why not have aunt and uncle propose a marriage? There’s no need to be so troubled.”

On hearing Xue Qi’s suggestion, Jiang Changbai shot him a helpless look and replied, “The Liu family is a merchant family after all. The Jiang family is quite sensitive by nature. If 1 were to marry her, it would stir up unnecessary doubts and suspicions.”

“Moreover, Grandmother will definitely not allow it.”

“But in the end, all these are mere external factors.”

Seeing Jiang Changbai’s puzzled expression, Xue Qi continued,” Even if you don’t marry Miss Liu, the Jiang family will still be walking on eggshells. As for Old Madam Jiang, this is a matter of your marriage. If you insist, I think Old Madam Jiang will eventually agree.”

Xue Qi grew up in Qingzhou, where the local people had a strong and fierce nature. Therefore, the things that Jiang Changbo was concerned about didn’t seem like a big deal to him.

Hearing Xue Qi’s words, Jiang Changbai fell silent.

Xue Qi didn’t pay attention to the fact that Jiang Changbo didn’t respond and went straight into the room, saying, “Tonight, I will sleep in your room.”

Jiang Peihuan did not know about the conversation between Xue Qi and Jiang Changbai. At this moment, she had already brought Ye Xiao into Elegant Garden.

Liu Xiu was also in Liu Xin’s room. When she saw the injury on her leg, Liu Xiu’s eyes were filled with worry.” Such a severe injury. What if it leaves a scar?”

Liu Xin, sitting on the bed, replied nonchalantly, “Aunt, don’t worry, even if it leaves a scar, it’s not a big deal.”

“Don’t talk nonsense. You’re a girl. How can there be scars on your body?”

“Third Aunt, don’t worry. I won’t let Xin Er have any scars.”

Upon hearing the voice, Liu Xin and Liu Xiu simultaneously turned towards the entrance.

Seeing Jiagn Peihuan entering, both of them smiled.

“Huan Er?”

“Sister Jiang?”

Jiang Peihuan stepped forward and bowed to Liu Xiu. Then, she looked at Liu Xin and said softly,” Xin Er, thank you so much.”

“Sister Jiang, you’re making a big deal out of it. I didn’t do much.”

Hearing this, Jiang Peihuan did not say anything else. Instead, she looked at Ye Xiao and said,” Examine the injury on Miss Liu’s leg.”

Ye Xiao walked forward and sat down by the bed to unwrap the bandage on Liu Xin’s leg.

Upon seeing the wound, Jiang Peihuan’s eyes flashed with a bit of surprise. Time had done little to soothe the injury – the once fresh wound was now an alarming white. Under the lamplight, it was a harrowing sight..

“Is it really this severe?”

Liu Xiu wasn’t around when Liu Xin was treating her wound, so when he saw the wound on her leg, Liu Xiu’s eyes were filled with concern and worry.

Ye Xiao carefully checked Liu Xin’s wound and reapplying medication before expertly rebandaging it.

After Ye Xiao finished bandaging, Liu Xiu quickly said,”Ye Xiao, tell me, will the injury leave a scar on Xin Er leg?”

“Miss Liu’s wound is quite deep. Once it heals, it’s likely to leave a scar,” Ye Xiao explained.

“A scar?”

Liu Xiu’s expression changed instantly. Liu Xin, in spite of her attempts to reassure Liu Xiu, was understandably upset. The prospect of a scar on her leg brought a touch of sorrow to her eyes.

Seeing that they were all upset, Jiang Peihuan looked at Ye Xiao and asked,” Can the scar be removed with Shuhen Glue?”

“It could, but only Miracle Doctor Ivy can make it. However, he has always been missing.”

“It’s fine. 1 have a way.”

In her past life, by pure chance, Jiang Peihuan had learned how to make Shuhen Gel.

However, now was not the time to disclose it.

After she finished speaking, Jiang Peihuan reassured Liu Xiu, “Third Aunt, there’s no need to worry. I will bring over the Shuhen Gel later. With it, Xin Er’s leg won’t have any scars.”

“Huan Er, thank you.” n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Liu Xiu did not find it strange that Jiang Peihuan could get the Shuhen Glue. After all, King Cheng’s fondness for Jiang Peihuan was common knowledge among the members of the Jiang Mansion.

“Third Aunt, there’s no need for such formality with me.”

With that, Jiang Peihuan turned to Liu Xin, “Xin Er, I need to head back now.

Tomorrow morning, I’ll bring Ye Xiao to change your bandage.”

“Alright, Sister Jiang, please take care.”

Jiang Peihuan bid farewell to Liu Xiu, then left the Elegant Garden.

Given the late hour, Jiang Peihuan decided not to visit Yan Lin and disturb Xue Yan. Instead, she returned directly to her own courtyard.

Upon entering the Plum Garden, she noticed the light in her room was already lit.

Without a second thought, Jian Peihuan had already guessed who it was.

Regardless of whether it was Yue Er or Lu Er, they were now very used to Xiao Nanye coming to the plum garden at night..
