Qi Xiuying - Another Transmigrate's Story 9 Chapter 8

"Ying'er calm down you aren't a little child anymore and as a family we are here for you, am I right Uncle?" Qi Chen chided Xiuying though his voice sounded strict Xiuying can only feel warmth in her heart.

"Yes as a family we are here for you." Immediately seconded by the Patriach. "Chen'er why you didn't tell us that Xiuying have recovered? We could have prepared more dishes earlier in the banquet to celebrate." He voiced out his grievances though it sounded stiff due to shock of Xiuying appearance. He look at his nephew trying to see through his intention by hiding the news but he can't as Qi Chen have long mastered concealing his thoughts.

Qi Chen was about to speak but Xiuying interrupted him.

"Grandfather I asked Father to not inform you as I want to surprise you... I know you'll be happy with my recovery." she said while wiping her tears.

We are so surprise alright! You are clearly sabotaging our plans! First Elder and Fa Qing have the same thoughts as they watch Xiuying who became more beautiful in just span of a year.

"I'm glad that you've recovered Ying'er, come here let me take a look at you." Xiuying slowly approach the Patriach while still sobbing a little. She notice in the corner that her Third Uncle and his wife just quietly observes the drama.

Ahh they aren't simple and can see through my act maybe they already know our plan? she thought.

"Grandfather!" Xiuying called louder as she hug the Patriach then lifted her head to look at the Patriach with her doe like black eyes.

"Aiyo! Now, now stop crying... Tell me why are you crying like this?" The Patriach as if hypnotized by her teary eyes blurted out but as soon as he finished the last word he knows that he made a mistake though he can't identify the problem.

"Grandfather!" As if on cue Xiuying cried once more to show her sorrow.

Ah Du have entered the main hall while holding the container full of desserts finally caught up with Xiuying. "Ah Du tell me what happened to my daughter why is she crying and look like this?!" Qi Chen immediately asks her to add more fire in the drama.

"Master, young miss..." Du'er nervously said and glances at the crying Xiuying and since all eyes are at her they didn't notice Xiuying winking at Du'er.

"You don't want to tell us?! Do you want to be punish just spill out what happened to my Ying'er?!" Xi Hui suddenly shouted at Du'er.

"Young miss saw sixth young miss and Long clan's eldest master hugging in the garden's pavilion! Please Madam don't punish me!" the young maid immediately kowtow, her forehead hits the hard floor several times that it is already bleeding.

Fa Qing gasped while the First Elder and Patriach expressions turned ugly. They can't believe this happened when all they have to do is talk with Chen to give way to Qi Fan for her to be the one to marry in Long clan.

"Elder cousin! What's the meaning of this?!" Qi Chen have a shock expression his eyes and Xi Hui's show sorrow for their daughter.

"Cousin we don't know if what they saw is what it seems we need to investigate this. You can't just point at us!" the First Elder answered back while holding Fa Qing he had to speak first before his wife as he knows whatever she wanted to say will just make the problem worst.

Xiuying suddenly moved away from the Patriach and went to stop Du'er from kneeling, she noticed Du'er dress have blood in them while she wipes the blood and tears from the young maid's face.

"You Xiuying's maid clean up your young miss." The patriach's head is starting to ache and thankfully his son quickly stopped his wife in making the situation worst.

Xi Hui immediately supported the two and glanced at her husband before guiding her daughter and maid to the side hall.

Qi Chen nodded to his wife and daughter before facing back his elder cousin and his wife whose expression is so ugly that he wanted to laugh out loud but he controls her inner thoughts he can't miss out this opportunity.
