Cinderella Innocent and Boss Charming - Chapter 504

Chapter 504 Broken Legs

After returning from the orchard, the Lan family seemed to acquiesce to Lu Xiaoxian and Lan Kaize’s relationship. Especially Lin Peizhi, always full of smiles when they met and spoke politely, she took the lead and the others naturally followed suit and were all polite to Lu Xiaoxian.

Only Lan Qin’er ignored her and didn’t dare to do anything to her even though she always had a cold face?

Lu Xiaoxian gradually put her heart down, with Lan Kaize as her talisman, no one would dare to do anything to her?

There is not much going on in Lan Kai Ze’s room, and besides, most of it has been snatched up by Ah Lie. Lu Xiaoxian was the one who couldn’t stay idle, and when there wasn’t much going on upstairs, she ran downstairs to see and do things, and make nice with others. She was actually looking for an opportunity to sneak into Lan Xiuhe’s and the couple’s room again to find more clues.

Finally waiting for a good opportunity, Lan Xiu went out with the couple. Lu Xiaoxian was afraid that if she disappeared for too long, Ah Lie would look for her, so she greeted him beforehand, saying that she was a bit tired and wanted to go back to her room to sleep for a while.

As long as she was well and doing whatever she wanted, Lie naturally wouldn’t say anything.

Lu Xiaoxian took advantage of people’s inattention and once again slipped into the room of Mr. and Mrs. Lan Xiuhe.

She went straight into the bedroom and opened the jewelry box, the ring was still there, she took it in her hand and scrutinized it for a while before putting it back. Then she went to touch the secret compartment at the bottom, the small locking eye looked delicate and complicated, with a hint of mystery, she guessed it must be hiding a bigger secret.

But where to find the key?

Lu Xiaoxian restored the jewelry box to its original state and went back to Lan Xiuhe’s study to look for it, there should be some clues here as well, just that she didn’t find them last time in too much haste.

Lan Xiuhe’s desk was large and had drawers on both sides, she opened each one and casually rummaged through them, there wasn’t much valuable clues. Lu Xiaoxian wasn’t discouraged, of course something that secret wouldn’t be easy for her to see. When she pulled to the bottom drawer on the left hand side, she couldn’t pull it, it looked like it was locked.

She scrutinized the keyhole of the lock, speculated on the size of the key, and then went to look for the key in the vase, or behind the oil painting hanging on the wall, which she had learned from Lu Haochen’s detective novels. But anyone with a heart of gold usually hid important things in places others wouldn’t expect.

But it’s not in the vase, and it’s not behind the painting. Where could it be?

Lu Xiaoxian stood in the middle of the room, looking around, suddenly looked up and saw the lamp, a flash of light in his head, moved a chair under the lamp, take off his shoes and stand up, but can not reach, she thought about it, to the bedroom to take Lin Peizhi’s make-up stool to the chair, and then climbed up, there is no one next to help, she climbed a little scared, finally stood up, but still a little bit short of a little bit on the side of the support is not there, she clenched her teeth! She clenched her teeth and climbed on tiptoe with the lampshade.

The hand felt to the top of the lamp, except for the dust, seems to really touch a little something else, but the hand is too short, just touch but can’t reach. She tiptoed as hard as she could, using almost all of her strength, and as a result, her body lost its balance and she fell down.

Lu Xiaoxian instinctively exclaimed, the sound of the exit, since the reaction and immediately stopped. Just chairs and stools crackling a mess, fell on the floor is simply thrilling.

Lu Xiaoxian couldn’t think of anything else and scrambled to put all the chairs and stools back where they belonged and hurriedly ran out. Just a short distance out the door, she saw Alys running from the other end of the corridor, saw her and asked, “What happened?”

Lu Xiaoxian said, “I don’t know, I only ran over when I heard the sound.”

Anu also came up from downstairs and seeing the two of them standing in the corridor talking, he asked, “What’s wrong? Where is the noise?”

Alys shook her head, “I’m not sure, I just heard a noise and then nothing. I wonder what room it came from?”

Anu looked at them suspiciously, went to Lin Peizhi’s room and looked around, and didn’t find anything out of the ordinary. Coming out, he said, “It’s not the First Lady’s room, let’s see if it’s the Third Lady’s room.”

Alys gave an ouch and ran to Zeng Hong’s room to take a look, and quickly ran back and said, “Everything is fine in the Third Mistress’s room.”

The Second Mistress was a soft touch, and the servants were generally lazy. The second youngest grandma was in her room, and if something happened she would call someone. The first young lady’s room generally didn’t let just anyone in. The third young master was a good talker, so Anu personally went over to take a look and didn’t find any problems.

“There’s nothing the matter, go down, all of you,” said Anu, “don’t talk nonsense, it’s not good if it reaches the ears of the first lady.”

She meant that it would be better to do more than less, Lu Xiaoxian was eager to do so, and was busy nodding her head to say yes. In her heart, she was secretly glad that she had dodged a bullet.

But when I returned to my room, I realized that my fall was not light. Just fell because too nervous, did not care about anything, and now the taut string is loosened, only to feel where all the pain. The worst thing is that my foot is broken, and it hurts when I hit the ground.

She’d broken her foot before and knew how to deal with it, she just had to find a way to get a salve. Ao Lai was famous for its herbal creams, and she’d bought a few bottles to take back with her on her honeymoon here. The Blue family must have it too, just who would she have to ask for it?

She didn’t want to find Ah Lie because she didn’t want Lan Kai Ze to know about it, Lan Kai Ze was more sensitive than normal people and would definitely ask about the ins and outs, and she wasn’t very good at telling lies, so she was afraid that he would see the cracks.

Sitting there, her feet became more and more painful, the blood stagnation was not smooth, and her ankles swelled up all of a sudden. The situation seemed to be getting worse, Lu Xiaoxian screamed in agony, and time passed by the minute, seeing that it was time for Lan Kaize to get off work. She had no choice but to tough it out and go outside to look for medicine.

Just a few steps away, she ran into Uncle Hua, who probably saw something unusual about her and greeted her with concern, asking her what was wrong.

Lu Xiaoxian said she had accidentally twisted herself and asked if he had any green herb cream.

As soon as Uncle Hua heard that she had sprained her foot, he helped her back to her room, then hurriedly went to fetch some medicine, and asked if she wanted to go to the hospital.

Lu Xiaoxian did not dare to show him, saying that it was only twisted a little bit, nothing serious, rub some medicine and it will be fine.

As soon as Uncle Hua left, Lu Xiaoxian dared to pull up the corner of his pants to rub the medicine, rubbing hard to disperse the bruises, gritting his teeth and huffing in pain. After rubbing for a while, the ointment slowly seeped into the skin, and the redness and swelling finally got a little better.

There was no way to go outside to greet Lan Kaiser from work in this situation, so Lu Xiaoxian simply changed her clothes and lay down on the bed, covering herself with the quilt to sleep.

She also knew that hiding was not able to hide, and did not have the heart to sleep, just shallow sleep, so when Lan Kaize pushed the door in, she was completely aware of it, and went through the typed belly again, waiting for the man to call her softly, pretending to have just woken up, rubbing her eyes, yawning, and sounding lazy, “You’re off work, ah, I overslept, and forgot to go out to pick you up. ”

“It’s okay,” the man favored her with a kiss on her forehead, “Lie said you’ve been sleeping all afternoon, are you tired?”

“Not tired, just a little sleepy.” Lu Xiaoxian smiled at him, “I’m still sleepy even after sleeping until now, I want to sleep some more, so I won’t go upstairs today.”

“Sleep if you want, get some rest.” The man kissed her again and said, “I’m going to go upstairs and change and come back later.”

“I’m sleeping, so stay away.”

“You go to sleep, I won’t make any noise, I just want to be there for you.” The man touched her head, “I’m leaving.”

Lu Xiaoxian sighed silently in her heart, still the same as before, pampering her to the bone, too much care and concern, sometimes Hou is also a kind of bondage ah.

Sighing was not finished, the man suddenly pushed the door in again, and without speaking, directly lifted the quilt to look at her feet. His face instantly darkened like the bottom of a pot, “How did you get it?”

Lu Xiaoxian didn’t waver at all, braced herself and stammered, “Twisted, twisted a bit.”

“Why didn’t you say so earlier?”

“Nope, didn’t think about it.”

“Does it hurt?”

“It doesn’t hurt.”

The man’s face became even uglier, even his voice sank, “A load of nonsense, it’s all oozing like this and it still doesn’t hurt?”

Looking at the man with a fierce look, Lu Xiaoxian’s heart was beating straight, and she lowered her eyebrows and lowered her eyes without making a sound.

“What time was the medicine rubbed in?”

She surreptitiously raised her eyes and said timidly, “Four o’clock.”

“Rub it once after eating and again before going to bed, no moving off the ground, and call me if anything happens.” Seeing that the man’s tone eased a bit, Lu Xiaoxian gently tugged on his sleeve.

“Don’t be mad, it’s fine already. It was just an accidental wrench.”

“Say, who got it?”

Lu Xiaoxian froze for a moment, why did he ask that? It was her own carelessness.

“There is no one, it’s me …”

The man sneered, “Still afraid I can’t back you up? Say, who is it?”

“There really wasn’t anyone, I accidentally broke it myself.”

“Where did you break it? How did you break it? Who saw it?”

“Just, just in the room, by the door, by the door. And I don’t know how I broke it.”

“Is it in the room, or by the door? How can you wiggle in such a small place? I don’t want anyone to believe me!” He suddenly thought of something, and rolled up her other pants corner as well, that foot was not broken, but there was a bruise on her leg. Pulling her clothes again, there was also a bruise on her waist, and not just one.

The man looked at her silently for a while, took the herbal ointment and rubbed all the bruises for her as well. Then he put down the medicine bottle and went out without a word.

This expression was familiar to Lu Xiaoxian; Gu Nianbin had walked away like this without a word when he was furious.

The silence was only the beginning, the outburst was the process, and she was scared inside, holding onto the wall as she slowly made her way down the hall.

Before she could get out of the side door, she saw the servants all running down the hall, just as one passed by, and she tugged at the man, asking what was going on.

That servant usually had a fairly good relationship with her, but at this time, she was looking at her indifferently and hurriedly left.

Lu Xiaoxian wondered in her heart, intuiting that this had something to do with Lan Kaize, and endured the pain to speed up her pace. Just up the steps, Ah Lie stood by the door and saw her, desperately shaking his hand, signaling her not to go over.

Lu Xiaoxian grew more and more strange, pausing for a moment, but still moving upwards.

Ah Lie was anxious, busy coming over to stop her, whispering, “What are you doing here? Didn’t you break your foot? Quickly go back and lie down, in case the eldest young master sees it again.”

Lu Xiaoxian asked him what was wrong.

Although the matter was caused by her, Ah Lie did not hide it and told her in detail while helping her back to the house.
