Chapter 1054 – Making A Mountain Out A Molehill.
Li Xue shook her head on her own analysis of the things. But then she turned to look at the clock to say, "Ah, it's already time. How did I not notice it?" She said and was ready to pack her bags and leave.
"Sister Xue, should I go and inform Mr. Du then?" Not understanding the response of Li Xue, Xiao Meng asked. And Li Xue simply rejected it.
"No, you don't have to do that. Come on! Come here and help me hide this wound first then later we will leave from here." She said and her suggestion like that only made the assistant frown in confusion. But opposite to her confusion, Li Xue was in a quite hurry as if she has well planned it already and there was no modification needed in her plan. She was already there ready to get up from the bed when the important factors presented by Xiao Meng paused her.
"But Sister Xue, how can we hide such a big wound on its first day? Applying makeup wouldn't be an option, furthermore hiding it with clothes would also not do. The doctor has strictly suggested to not build any pressure on it."
Li Xue paused and blinked. "Is that so? How could my fortune from previous birth be that wrong, Meng Meng?" She almost wanted to cry and finding her like that, Xiao Meng could just not understand what was happening? Wasn't she just fine thinking of the culprit a few moments ago? Then how come now she was so scared?
"Sister Xue, does something worst happen?" Xiao Meng asked innocently and Li Xue wanted to nod her head profusely. But she knew she couldn't waste more time on that. Since she was already there like that, it would be better to find the way in the limited situation.
Li Xue got up from the bed the next minute, before looking behind to see if she has left anything. "Meng Meng, even worse, we have to handle it. Come on, help me. We need to leave now." She said, ready to stagger on her footing, but luckily the girl was there to support her.
"Sister Xue!" She panicked before reaching out to hold her. "You are under the effects of medicines. You would have to rest here for more while. If you want, I can ask Mr. Du to call your boyfriend so that he doesn't get worried for you." She was suggesting when Li Xue shook her head to reject her suggestion.
But before explaining her cause and reason for rejection, a voice from the entrance once again interrupted her. It had a disappointment laced with displeasure and also an authority to silence anyone.
"There wouldn't be a necessity to hurry like that. I have already called the people necessary. He would be coming here himself. So don't think of leaving the bed any time soon." It was Chen Rui who has come and given the hurried expression on the face of the girl, she could already guess the worry.
Li Xue studied her expression and her eyes at once got downed with guilt. "Ma, I was just thinking to …" She said and Chen Rui came in, raising her brows.
"Heh! You remember to call me that now? I even thought that I have to remind you again that I am your mother and this palace is as well a home where you could rest for a day or week."
Li Xue immediately shook her head. "Ma, I was not thinking that way. I was just not …"
"Not ready to give me the trouble again?" Chen Rui guessed the appropriate words and Li Xue was speechless. She couldn't retort since that was the exact excuse, she has thought of but now that she is thinking, she could feel how absurd her excuse would have sounded like that.
Che Rui looked at the girl and slowly reached out to push her gently back on the bed before helping her with the duvet. "Xiao Xue, do you really think that seeing you around in the palace could be trouble for me. If yes, then I doubt if you are really taking me as your mother or just considering me nominally to keep my heart."
Li Xue shook her head. "Nope, Ma. I didn't think it like that. But now that you are saying it, I really apologize for hurting your sentiments. I will rest here and would not go anywhere. But …"
The royal lady was satisfied to hear the first part, but her brows tugged in a frown when heard towards the end. "But …"
Li Xue hesitated at first. But right at the moment, nothing else seemed to her as an escape other than this. So, taking the chance, she said, "But I am scared. Now that you have asked them to come here, how will I be dealing with them? They would be making a mountain out of the molehill and then …"
Before she could complete her explanation, Chen Rui was already ready to surrender. "Dealing with them is solely your job. I can't help you with that, dear. Furthermore, didn't you say you don't want to cause me trouble, then how come now you are avoiding your own point?"
She said and Li Xue opened her lips only to close it after a while. Looking at her like that Chen Rui wanted to chuckle but to not kill the fun, she instead reached out to pat her shoulders. "You are already blessed, dear. Your father and brother are not here, otherwise, there wouldn't be only one mountain coming out from a molehill rather the whole set of ranges."
At the side, Xiao Meng was again feeling a bit alienated. She could understand that one person was the boyfriend of Sister Xue they were talking about, but then who was the other? Why every time it was just her feeling like this? She wanted to ask from the middle, but seeing the presence of Her Highness around, her guts were simply not giving her the allowance to raise the doubt. So having the only way of patience at the time, she forced herself to ensure the curiosity first.
"Ugh …" Li Xu was baffled at the words of the lady. Scratching the corner of the brows she was about to ask again for the lady's help when she came forward to say instead.
"Don't worry. There are only two for you to handle today. For the rest two, they would be here by tomorrow. Let's see what happens then." Chen Rui said and right at that moment, a cherry voice laced with worry ran its way inside the room.
"Mama! Mama!"
And there wasn't a necessity to let Li Xue know who was finally there for her.
