Xie Qi took March away. Before he left, March bade farewell to Feng Qing pitifully and started his career as a dog. However, he was forced to do business.
Without needing Xie Jiuhan’s instructions, Su Yu brought a group of servants and started cleaning the bedroom. According to Feng Qing’s request, they changed everything in the bedroom to a new one. They painted the walls again and redecorated the ground. Even the innocent light bulbs were changed.
The master bedroom was in renovation so Xie Jiuhan could only carry Feng Qing to the secondary bedroom to stay temporarily. It was the secondary bedroom that he had asked Long Yuning to wait in.
Soon, Xie Qi brought a group of high-end cleaning services back to the Xie Manor. After cleaning up the master bedroom, Xie Qi specially found the sofa and examined it carefully. In the corner of the sofa, he found a wisp of light green powder.
Su Yu couldn’t help but say, “It’s this?”
Xie Qi nodded and picked up a small brush and plastic bag to store the light green powder. He shone it against the light. “Mr. Su, have you heard of Corpse Melting Powder?”
Su Yu was shocked. He looked at the light green powder in the bag and said in surprise, “You’re saying that… this is the Corpse Melting Powder that has been spreading like wildfire in recent years?”
“That’s right. This should be a poison powder developed by Mr. Qingyi of A Dark Organization. It won’t have any reaction when it comes to skin alone. However, once it comes into contact with blood, it will immediately have a violent reaction. Even your teeth and skull can be melted completely,” Xie Qi said.
Su Yu nodded solemnly. “At the beginning of the year, I even heard from the secret guards that Mr. Qingyi seemed to have upgraded this Corpse Melting Powder, turning it from a powder to a poisonous smoke. Mr. Qingyi usually likes to keep this kind of poisonous smoke in hidden weapons. According to the intelligence, her hidden weapons seem to be a string of pearls, and every pearl has poisonous smoke.”
The two of them stared at the light green powder for a long time. They didn’t know why Feng Qing had such a thing. Fortunately, it was only the first-generation Corpse Melting Powder. If it was the poisonous smoke, they would probably be struck.
“Don’t think too much. Mr. Qingyi should have sold it to Young Madam. She seemed to have bought a lot of things from Mr. Qingyi last time,” Su Yu said.
Xie Qi shook his head. “I don’t think it’s that simple. I heard from the underworld that many large factions domestically and abroad had offered a huge sum of money to buy one, but it was rejected by Mr. Qingyi. How could he give it to Young Madam? Unless…”
“Unless Mr. Qingyi already knows Young Madam, or…” Su Yu thought of something and looked at Xie Qi in disbelief.” Could it be that Mr. Qingyi also likes Young Madam? “
Xie Qi jumped up in fright and covered Su Yu’s mouth. He looked around nervously. After confirming that there was no one around, he heaved a sigh of relief.
“Old Su, you can eat whatever you want, but you can’t talk nonsense. Even if you don’t want to live anymore, I still want to,” Xie Qi said with a look of horror.
He didn’t deny Su Yu’s judgment. After all, other factions couldn’t even buy Corpse Melting Powder for hundred million, but Feng Qing could easily obtain it. He wouldn’t believe it even if he was beaten to death if Mr. Qingyi said that he didn’t have any designs on Feng Qing. Could this be considered confirmed?
Su Yu said, “I’ll tell the Ninth Master about this tomorrow morning. Mr. Qingyi might have ulterior motives towards Young Madam, so the Ninth Master can make arrangements early.”
Xie Qi nodded and said, “Previously, Mr. Qingyi had attacked our Ninth Master a few times. Now, he has designs on Young Madam. He simply thinks that he has lived long enough and is courting death. If he’s caught by the Ninth Master, he’ll definitely be ground to dust!”

In the Gu family’s courtyard.
In order to ease Feng Qing’s shock, Xie Jiuhan brought her to the Dragon Mountain hot spring in the Gu family’s courtyard.
There was a dragon vein underground in the Capital, and since ancient times, there had been hot springs. The Gu family’s ancestors had chosen the location under the guidance of an expert and had built the Gu family’s courtyard on the best hot spring in the Capital. Because it was backed by Dragon Mountain, it was called Dragon Mountain Hot Spring.
Although Dragon Mountain Hot Spring was the best, its scale was very small. This is because there was less water, so it could only be used in autumn and winter every year. Not to mention ordinary people, even the Gu family themselves had to line up if they wanted to soak in it once..
