Jingjing sighed and said, "Don't worry."

Suddenly, he seemed to recall something as he asked Manqing, "Oh right, do you know the relationship between Miss Xiahou and this master?"

Manqing shook her head and said, "I don't know. She had asked Miss Xiahou twice, but she didn't say anything … Furthermore, according to our information, Miss Xiahou doesn't seem to have such a 'friend'. "

Manqing had been sent by the masked man to pretend to be a servant girl. Naturally, she also knew about the true Xiahou Ye Qian.

None of them knew that the real Xiahou Ye Qian in front of them had such a "friend".

Then there was only one possibility, and that was that this friend of hers had probably disappeared after her.

It was the friend that Jingjing had gotten after pretending to be her.

"What's their relationship normally?" Jing Jing looked at Man Qing and asked.

A thoughtful expression appeared on Manqing Restaurant's face. After thinking for a while, he said, "I've only seen them speak up when the young miss checks, but …" Miss Xiahou hadn't gone out either.

Jing Jing nodded, and said, "Wait until she comes, I'll ask again."

Manqing nodded. Between the two, a sense of unease seemed to permeate.

After all, the two of them were young women. Upon discovering such a thing, no matter how daring they were, they would still feel uneasy.

What was even more unsettling was that he was afraid of being discovered, especially by the family's owner.

If they found out, the two of them would probably become fertilizer for one of the pots of daffodils.

Both of them could not help but flinch as they thought of this.

Jing Jing said to Man Qing in a low voice, "This matter must not be leaked out. Remember, don't panic. If you panic, even if it's nothing, it will make people suspicious, you know?"

Manqing nodded. "Understood, Miss. I will remain calm."

Man Qing gripped her fingers tightly and nodded.

What he didn't know was that Jingjing herself wasn't much better off.

"Luckily, no one saw it earlier." Jingjing added, touching her own chest, with a frightened look on her face.

He wondered if the ghosts under the fertilizer would come looking for Jingjing in the dead of night.

Would he tell her to wash away his grievances?

Or perhaps it was her fault, as even the final resting place of those corpses would not be at peace.

Suddenly, there was the scene of Ning Caichen searching for Xiao Qian's ashes and finding a large number of small jars.

Thinking to this point, a chilly wind blew outside the window, and Jing Jing felt goosebumps all over her body.

"Knock, knock, knock ~ ~"

Suddenly, a burst of hurried knocking sounds came from the door.

"Ahh!" Manqing suddenly shrieked, and Jingjing didn't know what was going on, but she too let out a shriek.

"Miss, what's wrong?" The voice at the door asked anxiously.

Only then did the two of them realize that they had lost their composure. There was nothing else to do except for someone knocking on the door.

Jingjing's heart skipped a beat. To be able to arrive so soon, could someone have discovered something?

Thinking about this, he sullenly heard the person at the door say: "Miss, are you alright? My lady is here to take your pulse. "

It turned out to be a pulse check, only then did Jing Jing and Man Qing heave a sigh of relief at the same time.

Jingjing gave Manqing a calm look. Manqing then took a deep breath, put on a normal expression, and walked to the door to open it.

As soon as the door opened, a fragrant wind blew in.

This was the first time Jingjing had officially met this lady, and also the first time seeing this mysterious woman in a sober state.

She was dressed well and looked to be around forty years old, but her appearance was only in her early thirties.

Although she was dressed in a mature manner, she looked very elegant. Her entire appearance was spotless, just like a mountain and water ink painting.

With this outfit and her gentle smile always hanging on her lips, it would make people lose sight of her beauty.

Jingjing only felt that this woman's appearance seemed to give her a familiar feeling.

It was as though he had seen it somewhere before, but he couldn't recall where.

Besides, there were only a few people she knew in ancient times, so it was impossible for her to see this woman.

It was probably because this woman was easy-going, giving people the illusion that she was once similar.

Thinking to this point, Jingjing realized that she had lost her composure and slowly got up from the bed.

Although he did not have the slightest bit of strength, he still went to the bed and bowed. "I have." "Madam, thank you for taking me in and saving me these past few days."

She sat down on the bed beside Jingjing and said, "My name is Lu, there's no need to thank me."

"Madam Lu." As it turned out, those surnamed Lu were not necessarily bad people.

He just didn't know who this woman was. She actually called him by his surname and not by her husband's.

Didn't she have a husband?

The yard was cold and deserted, and he didn't expect there to be children in the younger generation.

Jing Jing suppressed the doubts in her heart, bowed to her again, and said: "Madam Lu!"

Madam Lu smiled gently and patted her hand. "Do you feel better?"

Jingjing originally thought that this Madam's gentle appearance was very comfortable.

However, when he thought of the fertilizer from the daffodils in the yard, he couldn't help but shiver, thinking that this person was a beast with a human's face.

At that time, he had quietly pushed Madam Lu's hand away and slowly said: "It's better now, but …" I still don't have the strength to go out and walk around. I've been lying here the entire time. "

She couldn't help but look out the window at the dazzling daffodils.

Seeing Madam Lu smile at him with an unreadable smile, he felt guilty.

He immediately said, "What a pity that the garden is so beautiful."

Madam Lu smiled at Jingjing, her meaning unclear, "Your body is almost ready, it's just that you're relatively weak. You don't have to lie on the bed all the time. This way, your body won't be in a good condition."

Jingjing's heart suddenly jumped, but she only said, "Thank you Madam for your reminder, I will definitely take a walk outside more."

Madam Lu maintained her gentle smile. That smile was so wide that even the corners of her eyes and brows turned into smiles.

But no matter how Jingjing looked at it, she couldn't see the smile on Jingjing's face.

It was as if his smile was full of falsehood.

In the blink of an eye, her gentle smile returned, as if everything that happened just now was just an illusion.

Jing Jing suppressed her beating heart, and stretched out her hand to feel Madam Lu's pulse.

He just wanted to get out of touch with this lady as soon as possible.

After Madam Lu checked her pulse, she instructed her with a few words and had someone go down to fry medicine.

Man Qing also followed him out. For a moment, only Jingjing was left in the room.

Jingjing closed her eyes. After walking for so long and seeing the fertilizer in the yard, her strength had long since been used up.

So, Jingjing made a trip to bed and fell asleep.

Before going to sleep, he only had one thought in his mind, and that was, he had to leave this place as soon as possible.

When Jingjing woke up, she found that there were two people standing beside her bed, Xiahou Yeshi and Manqing.

Both of them looked absent-minded.

Seeing that Jingjing had woken up, Man Qing quickly went to carry the medicine for Jingjing.

Jingjing propped herself up with some effort.

However, this simple action caused a layer of sweat to appear on the tip of his nose.

When Xiahou Ye saw Jingjing act like this, he snapped out of his daze and hurriedly reached out to help her.

Jingjing crawled up from her hands.

Manqing took the medicine and fed it to Jingjing.

Jing Jing also didn't have any strength, so she obediently drank it all down.

Manqing looked at her and smiled with gratitude. She then said, "How is it? Are you feeling better? "

To the side, Xiahou Ye Qian's eyes dimmed as she looked at Manqing. She didn't know why.

He couldn't bear to look and turned his face away.

Jing Jing instantly understood her feelings. She shook her head at Man Qing and looked in the direction of Xiahou Ye.

Manqing understood and didn't say anything.

After feeding the medicine to Jingjing, he found an excuse to withdraw so that the two could speak.

A moment later, the room quieted down.

Jing Jing looked at the side of her face, she couldn't bear to see it anymore, so she asked her, "When are we leaving?"

Xiahou Ye Qian hadn't thought that she would say such a thing.

For a moment, he was unable to react. After a while, he said, "Your illness has not completely recovered!"

Jingjing's heart skipped a beat as she looked at the scenery around her. She suddenly lowered her voice and said to Xiahou Ye, "Do you know the identity of this family's master?"

Xiahou Ye Qian looked at Jingjing with a complicated expression and said, "You don't need to know."

Jingjing furrowed her brows for a moment. Xiahou Ye Qian was still on his guard against her.

That's right, towards someone who pretended to be her and took away everything from her, if it was Jingjing, she would also be on her guard, and even hate her.

Thinking to this point, Jingjing stopped pursuing the matter and only asked Xiahou Ye, "Then …" When are you planning to leave? "

Xiahou Ye said, "Leave after you've recovered."

"My body is almost fully recovered."

Xiahou Ye said, "Madam Lu said that you are still recovering. If you go out and relapse, it will ruin her reputation. She will not allow it."

Wasn't this just a disguised gag?

Jingjing creased her brows and said, "Is she very famous?"

"You don't need to know!" Xiahou Ye said with certainty.

Jing Jing's expression changed, he returned to normal and said: "Then … You can send a message back, can't you? We've been gone for a few days, Father... General Xiahou did not know, nor did Li Yue. They will definitely worry. "

For the first time, a cold and surprised expression appeared on Xiahou Ye's face.

It was a look of disdain.

She glanced at Jingjing and said, "That kid, Li Yue, hurt your heart so much that he asked Ling'er to pick a guard for you. This is obviously shaming you and the Xiahou Family. Why don't you blame him? Why are you afraid that he'll be worried for you?"

Jing Jing's face also darkened, she coldly said, "These are two different things, you can't compare them."

"Humph!"

Xiahou Ye Qian snorted coldly and said, "You've disgraced my Xiahou Family. You've even disgraced me, Xiahou Ye."

Jing Jing didn't say anything. She simply frowned at Xiahou Ye, looked at her, and said, "At the very least, I have to let father know."

Xiahou Ye said faintly, "Madam Lu has always lived in seclusion, she doesn't want others to know her identity."

Jing Jing didn't say anything further, she was even more curious about the relationship between Xiahou Yeshi and Madam Lu.

It was not that Madam Lu did not want others to know her identity.
