The daughter of the metaphysical fortune teller: she is the best at eating melons to prolong life

Chapter 276 Suspicion
Xie Lan looked at him with a headache. She thought she had made it clear to him last time that her fate was not suitable for marriage and Lord Xiao had given up the idea of ​​marrying her. Why was he bringing it up again?
"Sir Xiao, there is not much time left until my coming-of-age day. My life may be in danger at any time. Getting married is really not suitable. I suggest you forget about it."

Xiao Jin was not moved at all. His eyes swept across her sincere little face and he could see that she really had no intention of marrying him.

I felt a little depressed, but when I thought about what my master said in the letter, I felt sad.

Xiao Jin pursed his lips and said nothing more. He reached out and took out a jade pendant from his arms.

Seeing him trying to put it around his neck, Xie Lan stepped back subconsciously. He raised his head slightly and frowned, "Master Xiao, you want to give me this jade pendant? Isn't this inappropriate?"

Originally, Xie Lan just wanted to give a subtle reminder, but after thinking about it, he added, "Your Excellency must know that when a man gives a jade pendant to a girl, it is usually used as a token of love, right?
I cannot accept your jade pendant."

Xie Lan thought that since she had refused so obviously, Xiao Jin would definitely take the jade pendant back. But he said something completely unrelated, "Xiao Jin."

Xie Lan: ???
Xie Lan didn't expect him to suddenly mention her name. She was confused and didn't react for a moment.

It was the first time that Xiao Jin saw her with such a silly and cute expression, and his originally depressed mood actually became a little cheerful.

He originally wanted her to stop calling him Lord Xiao and call him by his name. But when the words came to his lips, he changed his mind and said, "Call me Brother Xiao from now on."

Xie Lan finally reacted and frowned again, "This is inappropriate..."

As soon as Xiao Jin saw her expression, he knew what she was going to say, and interrupted her before she finished speaking, "My last name is Xiao, my given name is Jin, and my courtesy name is Changfeng. If you really don't want to call me Brother Xiao, then just call me Changfeng."

After saying this, without waiting for Xie Lan to speak again, Xiao Jin raised his hand and put the jade pendant directly on her neck, "Isn't your birthday coming soon? This jade pendant is a birthday gift for you."

Seeing Xie Lan reaching out to take the jade pendant, obviously not wanting to keep it, Xiao Jin quickly said, "This jade pendant was confiscated from the Yongchang Marquis' Mansion. You don't have to feel any psychological burden, just keep it.

Although Yongchang Hou is not a good person, this jade pendant is a rare and good jade, which can help you nourish your body."

Xie Lan paused, it turned out that the jade pendant belonged to the Yongchang Marquis Mansion, so she had to accept it, otherwise it would be a great loss.

After all, if Marquis Yongchang hadn't ordered those assassins to shoot her, she wouldn't have attracted the thunder from the sky to kill her, causing all her spiritual energy and merits to be canceled out.

Seeing that she did not refuse again, Xiao Jin secretly breathed a sigh of relief and took out a small bottle from his sleeve pocket.

Xie Lan's eyes fell on the bottle in his hand, and he suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

Why is this small celadon bottle the same as the one I brought before? Could it be that he was worried that her torn wound had not healed, so he asked the imperial physician to prescribe medicine for her?

"This is the medicine I asked the imperial physician to prescribe yesterday. Remember to use it. I'll bring you some more in a few days."

It turned out to be true.

"No, my wound has healed. I don't need this medicine. You can take it back."

Afraid that he would not believe it and go to the imperial physician again in the future, Xie Lan quickly said, "I am really fine now, don't ask the imperial physician to prescribe medicine again."

Xie Lan felt embarrassed for Xiao Jin. He was neither married nor had concubines, yet he asked the imperial physician to prescribe this kind of medicine. He didn't know how people spread rumors about him behind his back.

Perhaps it was because Xie Lan's thoughts were too obvious, Xiao Jin could tell what she was thinking at a glance. This reminded him of the surprised and strange look in the eyes of the imperial physician when he went to ask the imperial physician to prescribe medicine for her.

Xiao Jin also became embarrassed, and even his ears began to turn red and hot.

Seeing Xie Lan looking at him, he was really worried that she would see his embarrassment, so he pretended to be calm and said, "It's good as long as the wound heals, but the medicine has already been prescribed, so it's not good to return it. How about...you keep it?"

The first part was fine, but when talking about the latter part, Xiao Jin looked a little hesitant, fearing that Xie Lan would misunderstand him. Xie Lan really didn't want to accept it, and it was useless for her to keep the medicine, but since she had already taken it, it was really difficult to return it to the imperial physician. After thinking about it, he accepted it.

Turning around and putting the medicine bottle in the dressing table, Xie Lan began to drive people away, "Since the master is fine, you should go back early."

It was really inappropriate for a man and a woman to be alone in a room in the middle of the night. Fortunately, she was used to being independent and was not used to having someone keep watch. Otherwise, if someone found out that a man from another world had entered her room at night, it would be hard to explain.

A trace of helplessness flashed in Xiao Jin's eyes. He couldn't be intimate with her in front of everyone in Yongchang Marquis's Mansion during the day. Now he finally had a chance to be alone, but before he could say a few words, she was going to drive him away.

If this goes on, I don’t know when the junior sister will like me. If I want her to agree to marry me, I don’t know how long it will take.

Many thoughts flashed through his mind, but Xiao Jin didn't show any of them on his face. "Okay, I'll go back first. If you need my help with anything, you can ask your maid to pass the message to me."

"Okay, sir, take care."

Xie Lan thought he was about to leave, but he stopped moving again.

"Wrong, call me Brother Xiao."

The veins on Xie Lan's forehead jumped, and she wanted to push him out of the window. Seeing his persistence, he looked like he would not leave until she changed her mind.

Xie Lan twitched his lips.

Never mind, it's just a name.

Just because she changed her words now doesn't mean she will do the same thing next time she sees him.

Xie Lan decisively changed his words, "Brother Xiao, goodbye."

Xiao Jin glanced at her and stood up with satisfaction, "Okay, I'm going back."

Xie Lan nodded, then stood up from the brocade stool and was about to see the guest off.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Jin's body suddenly swayed a few times, one hand weakly supporting his forehead, and he looked like he was about to faint.

Xie Lan's heart tightened, and he subconsciously stepped forward to support him, "What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Xiao Jin glanced at her calmly. He originally thought that his behavior was a bit childish, but when he saw that her expression was filled with worry, he felt happy in his heart.

I think my junior sister is not completely heartless towards me and there is still a place for him in her heart.

With a thought in his mind, Xiao Jin followed Xie Lan's support, leaned on her shoulder, and said weakly, "Maybe I was shot with an arrow today and lost too much blood. I feel a little dizzy."

Xie Lan originally thought that their posture was too intimate, so she wanted to push him away. But when she thought that Xiao Jin was injured in order to save her, she felt a little reluctant.

"Then I'll help you lie down on the chaise longue, and then go back after you've recovered."

"Wait, I don't have much strength right now, can you let me take a break and then you can help me over?"

Xie Lan paused, feeling somewhat suspicious.

Although Lord Xiao was shot by an arrow, she remembered that he didn't bleed much at that time, so he shouldn't be so weak, right?
