Chapter 128 Xun'er's Changed
"Miss!" Ling Ying suddenly appeared behind Xun'er again and said softly.
Xun'er was no longer surprised by his elusive behavior.
"What's wrong, Elder Ling?" She frowned slightly, her expression somewhat displeased.
She had already told Ling Ying that she wanted to be alone for a while, but not long after, Ling Ying came to bother her again, which naturally made her very unhappy.
Seemingly sensing the displeasure in Xun'er's tone, Ling Ying lowered his head even further, even though he knew that Xun'er had her back to him and couldn't see his actions.
"Miss, Lingying has come to disturb you this time because something has happened in the Xiao family. I want to tell you that Xiao Yan, the third young master of Xiao Zhan, the head of the Xiao family, has been tied to a tree and is naked."
"Xun'er is not interested in these matters of the Xiao family. If Elder Ling only wants to tell Xun'er these things, then you can leave now!" Xun'er's tone was quite cold, as if she was angry at Ling Ying's behavior.
In her opinion, she might have been too soft-hearted. Instead of punishing him for what had happened before, he became even more arrogant and reckless, disobeying her orders time and time again and ignoring her words.
Hearing the disgust and even anger in Xun'er's tone, Ling Ying's heart trembled. Xun'er's words had completely determined his fate. He would lose this coveted position, and death might be his final destination, which might even implicate his family!
Even if Gu Xun'er didn't say anything, countless people who wanted to curry favor with her or gain her favor would naturally volunteer to attack him. As a mere Dou Huang, he was nothing more than an ant in the Gu Clan. If it weren't for his current duties, no one would even know who he was! So even if he died, it wouldn't matter.
This is not what he wants to see, and the only way he can change his fate is to try to change Gu Xun'er's mind; otherwise, he will really be finished.
He had no idea why Xun'er was so agitated. In the past, Xun'er never put on airs and treated him, her servant, like family. But today she was so agitated that she wouldn't even listen to his explanation. What had happened?
However, now is not the time for him to think about these things. If he cannot quell Xun'er's anger now, then things will get complicated.
Thinking of all this, he couldn't hold back any longer. He said in a hurried tone, "Miss, please calm down. Ling Ying didn't mean to offend you. It's just that Young Master Xiao Yan was not only tied naked to a tree, but there was also a piece of paper above him describing his crimes! Young Master Xiao Yan broke into your boudoir at night. I want you to know about this so that you can be more careful around him in the future. After all, it's better to believe something is true than not."
Upon hearing Ling Ying's words, Xun'er's mind went blank. She suddenly turned around and anxiously asked Ling Ying, "What? What exactly happened? Elder Ling, tell Xun'er everything! Don't leave out a single detail!"
Looking at Xun'er's expression, Ling Ying was also very puzzled. He had prepared himself before saying these words. This matter could be considered as a way of showing concern for Xun'er. In any case, Xun'er would surely understand, and he would not be punished more severely for it.
But he never expected that Gu Xun'er would have such a strong reaction when she heard about this. This was the first time he had seen her behave so strangely, and he didn't understand why.
"Could it be related to Xiao Yan, the third young master of the Xiao family?" Ling Ying couldn't help but think to himself. Just then, he suddenly remembered that Xiao Yan had been running here repeatedly in the past few days.
However, none of that matters to him now. Seeing Xun'er's current behavior, he knows very well that this matter will not be pursued any further, and that is enough for him.
He was unaware of the extent of his impact on Gu Xun'er. Upon hearing Ling Ying's words, Xun'er's heart was in turmoil. "Xiao Yan, Xiao Zhan's uncle's son? Was that villain from last night him? And who was the other one?"
"Miss, this is what happened. According to the Xiao family members, Xiao Yan, the third young master of Xiao Zhan, the head of the Xiao family, was found naked and tied to a tree early in the morning. In addition, a piece of paper was hung above his head, which specifically described Xiao Yan's "evil deeds"."
After learning that Gu Xun'er was interested in this matter, Ling Ying did not make any deletions, but instead chose to tell her everything she knew.
Sure enough, after hearing Ling Ying's words, Xun'er eagerly continued to ask, "Elder Ling, please stop keeping me in suspense."
Upon hearing this, Ling Ying's face was a mixture of amusement and exasperation: "Miss, it says on the document: 'This impudent brat, at such a young age, only thinks of stealing beauty and fragrance, committing violence in the middle of the night and breaking into a boudoir. I was just passing by when I witnessed such a shameless act, so I took action to punish him. I hope he will learn his lesson and repent.'"
As Ling Ying recounted the story vividly, Xun'er blushed with embarrassment and couldn't help but think to herself, "It seems that the person last night was Xiao Yan. I just didn't expect that Uncle Xiao Zhan, such an upright person, would have such a despicable son. I have to thank that older brother for this, otherwise I really don't know what would have happened to me."
Indeed, if Xiao Feng hadn't intervened, given the circumstances and Gu Xun'er's personality, she would likely have chosen to plan ahead and wait for Xiao Yan to make a move in order to find out what he was up to. However, by then it would have been too late.
When that time really comes, Xiao Yan will have touched her body completely naked. At that time, with Xiao Yan's sharp eyesight, he will naturally discover that Xun'er is pretending to be asleep. Facing Xun'er, who has already discovered his actions, he sits on the edge of Xun'er's bed and talks to himself about the reasons for doing so. He is not only trying to excuse himself, but also trying to move Xun'er.
How could the inexperienced Xun'er be a match for Xiao Yan? Naturally, she lost herself under Xiao Yan's sweet words and was deceived by his absurd excuses. She believed his words without a doubt and even developed feelings for him. After that, she helped him in every way.
