Chapter 712: Chapter 712: Unintentionally Planting Willows (2)
 

She never expected Di Xuan to make such a move, and she was dumbfounded for a while, completely at a loss.

It wasn’t until Di Xuan put the tree leaf into her hand and clenched her fingers that she felt the coolness coming from the palm of her hand.

“This is the leaf I used to blow just now, taken from the willow tree by the doorway. If you like it, you can pick your own when your eyes are better.”

As he spoke, he withdrew his hand and casually sat down on the stone steps, picking up another willow leaf and playing it again.

He sighed in his heart, unable to resist sinking into memories.

Elder Mr. Xu originally doted on him a lot, but his father barely escaped death initially, and in order not to involve others, he had to leave the village school. Now he wonders if he would still be sitting in the classroom, listening to the teacher’s lectures and happily going home after class if he hadn’t left.

A bitter taste curled up at the corners of his mouth, but alas, everything was over, and time always moves forward without turning back.

Thirteenth Luo was still lost for a while, listening to the faint music in her ears, her whole body seemed to still have the lingering warmth left by Di Xuan’s little hands. She was completely lost, her body temperature still rising, her muscles tense, making it almost impossible for her to move.

No, isn’t Di Xuan still a child?

He’s a child, so he doesn’t understand the propriety between men and women, but she’s two years older than him, how can she be confused by this unintentional touch?

With that, she calmed down and carefully felt her way to sit on the stone steps, listening attentively to the music played by the tree leaves.

The melody ended, and Di Xuan didn’t say anything for a long time. It was Thirteenth Luo who opened her mouth first.

“Your honorable teacher must have treated you very well, right? Otherwise, why would he teach you this piece?”

Thirteenth Luo whispered, unable to resist stretching out her hand to gently stroke the edge of the willow leaf, sinking into memories.

In fact, she once had such an honorable teacher…

As she recalled, Di Xuan asked her several questions in a row, but she didn’t answer.

“Hey! I said, Prefecture Princess Luo, didn’t you hear what I said?”

“Um, what did you say just now?”

Thirteenth Luo’s ears burned again, what’s wrong with her? Why is she always distracted?

Knowing that she couldn’t see, Di Xuan couldn’t help but roll his eyes: “I’m asking you, where are the maids by your side? You can’t see with your eyes, so how come you can walk so far away and they’re not beside you to take care of you?”

“They… have been taking care of me all day, so they’re tired. That’s why I let them go and rest.”

The corners of Thirteenth Luo’s mouth revealed a bitter smile, which flickered and disappeared in an instant.

However, it was just caught by Di Xuan, who recalled the various rumors about Prefecture Princess Luo, and the knots in Di Xuan’s heart somehow dissipated a lot.

He quickly reassured Thirteenth Luo, “They are just maids, if they don’t listen to the master, you have to punish them severely. In time, they will naturally listen to you.”

Thirteenth Luo was stunned for a moment, and then chuckled.

“It’s not as simple as you think… The Princess Consort isn’t my birth mother, and my father… He doesn’t care about the affairs of the inner courtyard. So, since I was very young, I have learned to take care of myself. There are many dirty things in the wealthy family, you are lucky to have met a good stepmother…”

Di Xuan was silent for quite a while before he asked softly, “They say… the reason your eyes went blind is because someone deliberately put poison in the smoke. Is it true?”

The smile on Thirteenth Luo’s face disappeared.

After a while, she snorted coldly, “Brat, if you want to live longer, you’d better shut up for me, otherwise, if one day you mysteriously lose your life, don’t blame me for not warning you!”

“You… you’re not much older than me, right? If I’m a brat, what are you? Stop being so ungrateful here like a dog biting Lu Dongbin.”

Di Xuan was also annoyed by Thirteenth Luo, and turned to leave.

“What’s wrong? I said just one thing and you’re angry? What are you doing with such a small temper?”

Hearing that something was wrong, Thirteenth Luo quickly softened her voice.

“Who has a small temper? Haven’t you been sitting here for so long too?”

Di Xuan’s expression didn’t relax at all, “Besides, this is my courtyard, you better leave quickly. If someone else sees it, there may be some misunderstandings.” After finishing, he went straight into the room.

As he reached the door, he looked back.

Thirteenth Luo was obviously listening to his movement with her ears, her hands groping slowly in mid-air, almost tripping over the stone steps next to her.

“Be careful!”

He finally couldn’t help it, shouting in surprise when Thirteenth Luo was about to step off the stone steps, and then rushing over.

His sudden shout really scared Thirteenth Luo!

She was originally cautiously advancing, but this scare made her feet tangled and trip over herself, banging heavily on the stone steps.

“Thirteenth Luo, Thirteenth Luo! How are you? Thirteenth Luo!”

Di Xuan got anxious, it seemed that he heard a strange sound, and hurriedly reached out to help.

Thirteenth Luo let out a scream, tears falling from her eyes.

“Ah! It hurts! Don’t move, I beg you not to move me! My foot is twisted.”

“Your foot is twisted? Ah! How did you get hurt, can you still walk?”

Di Xuan was clearly frightened, his hands were all over the place, wanting to help her but was deterred by Thirteenth Luo’s scream again.

“Ouch! What are you doing, you scared me to death.”

Thirteenth Luo was really frightened by his roar, her ankle was twisted, and it was really raining when the roof leaked!

“How are you? Prefecture Princess Luo, are you alright?”

Di Xuan was also panicked, looking at Thirteenth Luo, whose facial features were all wrinkled in pain, and he simply didn’t know what to do.

“Nonsense! You try it out. Gah, don’t let go, my foot, my foot! It hurts so much.”

Thirteenth Luo wanted to be tough, but the severe pain in her foot made her unable to move. Especially with her eyes being unable to see, she was even more unable to move and could only cling to Di Xuan, fearing that he would abandon her.

Even if she didn’t say it, Di Xuan wouldn’t dare to let go!

He anxiously looked around, but not a single person in the courtyard. He wanted to yell, but suddenly remembered that Xue Lan, who was originally following him, was called to serve Ying’Er and calling anyone else seemed useless.

“Bear with it, I’ll carry you into the room first, then go find a doctor, okay?”

Thirteenth Luo was already sweating in pain, and she could hardly understand the meaning of the words, so she nodded instinctively.
