Chapter 493: Chapter 493, The Heart of a Petty Person (1 more)
She was startled,
but then filled with imnse joy.
As a martial artist, she understood all too well the reason for this.
The toxins in the body had been expelled,
“I fed him a bit of food, now let’s give him a wash with hot water, and I’ll go change my clothes!”
Xie Zhinuan slled herself, detecting a bit of a stench.
...
Qin Yu stood aside and gave Xie Zhinuan a deep bow.
“I’m deeply grateful to you, Miss, for your enormous kindness!”
“There’s no need for such formalities,” Xie Zhinuan waved her hand dismissively and stepped out of the cabin, finally letting out a soft sigh.
It really was too stinky.
Dugu Zhen followed Xie Zhinuan closely, “What did you feed him? Can you give so too?”
Xie Zhinuan stopped in her tracks and turned to look at Dugu Zhen, “What did you say? I didn’t catch that!”
“Ah, hehe, I was just joking!” Dugu Zhen hastily spoke up, laughing while waving his hand, “Just joking, only joking!”
“As long as it was a joke,” Xie Zhinuan said, then ascended the stairs.
“Sister Xie!” Mu Rourou stood at the top of the stairs, constantly looking down.
Her eyes were full of curiosity,
as were the eyes of the maid behind her.
“What are you looking at? Go to bed!” Xie Zhinuan’s voice was stern.
“But… that…” Mu Rourou wanted to ask more.
“Mu Rourou, you should rember one thing: the more you know, the more danger you face. There are things you shouldn’t pry into. On this boat, you are a guest, and guests should have the self-awareness of guests, understand?” Xie Zhinuan said coldly.
“…”
Mu Rourou had not expected Xie Zhinuan to speak so harshly.
“If you feel I have offended you, then pretend I never said it!” Xie Zhinuan went back to her cabin first, found so clothes, and changed out of her soiled garnts.
Mu Rourou stood outside the door, her eyes reddening.
Chuju and two other maids wanted to console her but didn’t know how.
“Miss…”
Mu Rourou stood at the door, looking extrely aggrieved.
Xie Zhinuan ca out in fresh clothes and saw her still there, “Why haven’t you gone to bed yet?”
“I, I…” Mu Rourou began to explain,
“The truth often hurts. If you can accept what I said, then listen; if not, think of as difficult to get along with. Now go back to the cabin, and don’t stand here at the top of the stairs looking down, understood?”
“Then I’ll go back now, is it okay if you’re not angry anymore?” Mu Rourou spoke softly.
“I’m not angry, I just feel that you really shouldn’t be here. I still have things to do, so I’m going down!” Xie Zhinuan said and descended the stairs.
After a few steps, she looked back and saw Mu Rourou still there, so Xie Zhinuan gestured for her to co over.
Mu Rourou imdiately approached, “Sister Xie!”
“Are you very curious?” Xie Zhinuan asked.
Mu Rourou nodded slightly,
“Fine, I’ll take you to have a look, but you’ve also slled the stench, right? Do you still want to go?”
Mu Rourou nodded again.
Xie Zhinuan had to admire her persistence.
“Then just you, everyone else should stay upstairs and not co down!”
She led Mu Rourou downstairs, where Aunt Chen was bringing over so water.
Aunt Chen frowned slightly when she saw Mu Rourou but said nothing upon seeing that Xie Zhinuan had no further comnt.
Footsteps on the boat’s deck made a faint sound,
In the cabin, the stench kept wafting out. Xie Zhinuan entered without altering her expression, while Mu Rourou, who was at the door, nearly fainted from the sll.
She saw a woman holding a child who was ill all over, whispering sothing low.
There was also a young man standing nearby, she only saw his back and not his face; presumably, he was the child’s father,
so thought Mu Rourou.
“The water’s here!” Xie Zhinuan said softly,
Qin Yu quickly ca to his senses, respectfully stepping aside, and only then noticed that Xie Zhinuan’s clothing was minimal, especially since the sleeves could be rolled up.
He realized then that he had wrongfully asured the noble heart of another by his own petty standards.
