The carriage drove slowly on the road back to the City Lord's Mansion, but the atmosphere in the carriage was extremely depressing.

At least for Xie Yunrou.

"After all, the character of the master is not what you saw before, he is more like a real city lord now."

Xie Yunrou suddenly remembered the words that Uncle Fu, the housekeeper, warned her, but it was a pity that she didn't take it seriously at the beginning, and now when she really saw her brother, Xie Yunrou realized what Uncle Fu said.

——The elder brother looked at her eyes, no longer the generosity and pampering of the past, his eyes were indifferent as if he was looking at a disobedient pet.

"The steward should tell you what will happen if you escape halfway."

A deep voice suddenly rang in his ears, and Xie Yunrou's heart beat like a drum.

Of course Xie Yunrou remembered it, but she didn't believe it before.

But now, Xie Yunrou's heart tightened, and she hurriedly said: "Brother, I am your only biological sister."

"I've already given you a chance." Xie Xun's tone was gentle, but there was no warmth in his eyes.

"If you are disobedient again and again, you will be punished."

Xie Yunrou was forced to raise her head, met those dark eyes, and shivered involuntarily.

Xie Xun glanced at her, moved his fingers slightly, and a gust of wind went straight to Xie Yunrou's knee.

Xie Yunrou felt that some danger was coming, and suddenly there was a sharp pain in her knee.

"Ah!" She screamed, clutching her aching legs and falling down on the mat on the floor of the carriage.

"This is your punishment."

Severe pain spread from the knees all over the body. Xie Yunrou, a rich lady, had never experienced such heart-piercing pain, so she didn't care about what Xie Xun said.

But the pain came and went quickly.

After howling for a while, Xie Yunrou found that her knee no longer hurt, she raised her hand and vigorously wiped away the tears streaming down her face.

"Stop, I'm going down!"

Xie Yunrou looked at Xie Xun viciously, "Even if you beat me to death today, I won't go to the Martial God Academy. You don't want to have a shameful younger sister. At worst, I just don't want to be Miss Xie."

As soon as Xie Yunrou finished speaking, the sound of wheels rolling stopped, and the carriage actually stopped.

Xie Yunrou was stunned for a moment, seeing Xie Xun looking at him, a trace of panic flashed across his face, "Just get down, who is afraid of whom?"

She gritted her teeth and wanted to get up from the floor to get out of the car, but found that her legs didn't work.

How can it be?

A look of panic flashed across Xie Yunrou's face, and she touched her knees with her hands—unconsciously, no matter whether she was scratching or pinching, she didn't feel anything.

The door of the carriage was pushed open, Xie Xun didn't look down on Xie Yunrou who was sitting on the floor, walked past her and got out of the carriage.

It turned out that the carriage stopped not because Xie Yunrou called to stop, and it had already arrived at the City Lord's Mansion.

"Master, are you back?" The butler Fu Bo who was waiting at the door hurried up to greet him, with a look of anxiety on his face.

"The little one arranged for someone to send the eldest lady to the Martial God Academy, but... miss, she... smashed the carriage on the way, injured the servant and snatched a horse... and ran away..."

At the end, Fuber had a look of self-blame on his face.

"The old slave has already sent someone out to look for it, but there is no news yet."

"You don't need to look for her, she is in the carriage now." Xie Xun walked towards the city lord's mansion, "but her legs are useless now, you can find some people to carry her back, although she can't move in the future, it depends on the blood relationship Come on, a bite of food is still affordable."

The cold and casual tone reached Xie Yunrou's ears, making her even lose the courage to speak.

She lowered her head and looked at her unconscious legs in a daze. Could she be like this forever in the future?

Xie Yunrou couldn't accept it, she stretched out her hand to grab the door frame, dragged her body to the door of the carriage with difficulty, and begged in horror: "Brother, brother, I don't want to be a useless person, I know I'm wrong, I'm going to the Martial God Academy, I'm going—"

Xie Xun ignored her and entered the City Lord's Mansion without looking back.

"Miss." Fu Bo took several maids to the side of the carriage, and asked the maids to help Xie Yunrou down.

"Why bother, I have advised you a long time ago not to disobey the city lord's will."

Xie Yunrou grabbed the butler's sleeve, as if grabbing a life-saving straw, and cried bitterly: "Fubo, help me, can you help me plead with my brother...you tell brother, I am obedient this time, really obedient , I’m going to Wushen Academy, I won’t run away this time.”

The housekeeper Fu Bo sighed, and pulled his sleeve out of her hand, "Miss, hold on for the past few days, the city lord is angry, and after a few days, the city lord calms down, and the old slave will go to you to intercede with the city lord. "

"But, but what about my legs?" Xie Yunrou sniffed aggrievedly, "I don't want to be a disabled person."

"Later, I will find a doctor to take a look at the young lady." Fu Bo said earnestly, "The city master just wants to teach the young lady a lesson, and will not really cripple your legs. The young lady should go back obediently now, and there will be no trouble on the way." Stop it."

Xie Yunrou sniffed, "Oh."

After being told this, I got a little comfort, and the panic in my heart was less.

Not long after Xie Xun returned to the study, someone knocked on the door. Xie Xun looked up, and the housekeeper, Uncle Fu, was standing at the door.

"What's the matter?"

"The old slave has just hired a doctor for Miss."

Xie Xun was not surprised. Uncle Fu served the Xie family wholeheartedly, and watched the two brothers and sisters grow up. Seeing Xie Yunrou's appearance now, he must feel very distressed.

"The doctor said that the lady's leg needs acupuncture and moxibustion for several days before she regains consciousness."

"Just let her suffer." Xie Xun put down the tax payment statement of the Magic Gold Trading Company, and said in a flat voice, "Did she tell you anything?"

"Miss seems to have realized her mistake, she has been clamoring to go to Martial God Academy." Uncle Fu respectfully replied.

"Really?" Xie Xun picked up a pen to approve and read it, and then took out the seal of the city lord to stamp the tax payment details.

"You tell her not to go, because I plan to find someone for her in the surrounding towns of Pingyang City."

Uncle Fu was slightly taken aback, "Why does the city lord still want to scare the lady, she has already agreed to go to the Martial God Academy?"

"Just do as I say." Xie Xun put down the seal. What he wanted was not Xie Yunrou's willingness to go to Wushen Academy for a while, but that she could stay in it honestly in the next few years.

After all, after he won the black gold mine, he didn't have time to manage Xie Yunrou's messy affairs. Instead of letting her cause trouble for him from time to time, it's better to scare her to the end all at once.

Uncle Fu was stunned for a moment, looked into the eyes of his own city lord, understood what he meant, and said: "Then the old slave will go and tell the young lady."

……

"What?" Xie Yunrou leaned against the head of the bed, and immediately widened her eyes when she heard Uncle Fu's words.

"Brother wants to marry me to an ordinary civilian?"

"Yes." Uncle Fu sighed with some guilt, "The city's decision has been made, and this old slave is helpless."

"It's impossible. I'm his sister anyway. He, how could he think of marrying me to a pariah?"

Xie Yunrou's tears of grievance welled up again. In the past few days, she has experienced all the grievances she has never experienced in her life.

"You didn't tell him that I am willing to go to Wushen Academy?"

"The old slave said that at least the tuition fees have been paid, and the lady is willing to go again." Uncle Fu deliberately sighed, and Xie Yunrou looked at him anxiously, "Then brother didn't respond?"

Uncle Fu shook his head in embarrassment, "Then the city lord said, there's no need to go now, let the young lady feel at ease and wait until she gets married."

"I don't want it!" Xie Yunrou screamed, and then burst into tears, "I agree to go to the Martial God Academy, what else does brother want?"

"However, when the city lord gave Miss a chance, you didn't cherish it—" Fu Boyu sighed earnestly, "Now it's not a question of whether you want to go, miss, but the city lord has given up on this idea. I tried to persuade the young lady, but the young lady still injured the servant and fled back."

Xie Yunrou's intestines were green with regret, "I don't want to marry. The people living in the surrounding towns are all low-class civilians, who are rude and disrespectful. It's not as good as the useless Qin Siyuan back then. After all, he is also a child of an aristocratic family."

"However, the city lord has already made a decision, and the old slave wants to help the young lady, but there is nothing he can do." Uncle Fu sighed again. "Miss is born delicate and delicate, how can she live a life where she eats her last meal and doesn't have her next meal?"

"No, I can't just let him marry me off." Xie Yunrou gritted her teeth, an idea came to her mind.

She wants to escape.

But just the City Lord's Mansion, with her current appearance, she couldn't even get out the door.

Xie Yunrou put her eyes on Uncle Fu, he is the only one who still loves her now.

"Fuber, do me a favor..."

Uncle Fu was slightly taken aback, "Miss, tell me."

"Come here...I'll tell you." Xie Yunrou beckoned, and when Uncle Fu approached, she covered her mouth with her hand and whispered in his ear for a while.

After Uncle Fu listened, he showed a hesitant expression, "This...isn't that okay? Even if the old slave helps the young lady escape successfully, where can you go, young lady?"

Xie Yunrou bit her lip, feeling stuck for a while.

She had nowhere to go, and was locked up for so long, during which none of her so-called good friends came to see her.

"Miss, if I had listened to the old slave and obediently went to the Martial God Academy." Uncle Fu sighed, "There will be no such thing."

Xie Yunrou had a flash of inspiration and had a place to go.

She could escape to the Martial God Academy, and after becoming an official student of the academy, even if her brother knew about it, he couldn't force her to give up her studies and come back to marry because of face.

Seeing her pensive look, Uncle Fu, the housekeeper, couldn't help but shook his head, silly boy, it's been a waste of suffering, and he didn't want to go to Wushen Academy willingly in the end.
