The study room instantly became so quiet that the sound of a needle dropping could be clearly heard.

Qu Ling hid to the side, he did not even dare take a deep breath and secretly looked at Xiao Jingyue's extremely ugly face, knowing that it was not possible to open his mouth to let Chu Yu go, he secretly made preparations to escape.

Xiao Yi felt that the atmosphere wasn't right and raised his head to look at his master. Seeing that his master's expression was so dark that it seemed as though water would drip out of it, he immediately regretted coming in and passing on these words.

"Heh." Xiao Jingyue suddenly laughed coldly. He turned his head to look at Qu Ling, who was hiding in a corner and was taking small steps towards the door. His voice was as cold as the edge of a sharp blade.

Only now did Xiao Yi realize that there was another person in the study. Furthermore, it was the mistress whom he had just reported to. Xiao Yi's face instantly collapsed, and he felt even more regretful that he had made this trip.

When Qu Ling heard the word "Madam" from Xiao Jingyue's mouth, he shuddered violently. Who the hell is your wife, you pervert!

She knew that she couldn't run away anymore and shook off the goosebumps all over her body. She pretended to cough and calmly said, "It's nothing. I just happened to pass by and didn't go in."

He paused before continuing, "I really didn't go in to look for my servant. Someone is slandering me!"

Xiao Jingyue stood up, his cold eyes staring straight at Qu Ling's small face, "If there's no wind, then there's no waves. If you really don't have one, then why would others slander you for no reason?"

Qu Ling pondered for a moment, and said: "That person, he is probably envious and jealous of me marrying the General Xiao."

After saying that, he nodded to himself, "Yes, that must be it."

Xiao Yi couldn't bear to look straight at her as he turned his head to look elsewhere.

"Xiao Yi!" Xiao Jingyue suddenly shouted coldly.

Xiao Yi reflexively kneeled down and cupped his hands in response, "Your subordinate is here!"

Xiao Jingyue said coldly: "What did the people outside say? Tell me everything without missing a word!"

"…" Xiao Yi trembled, he stared at Qu Ling who had a murderous look in his eyes and stuttered: "The people outside said … They said that after the young miss of Prime Minister Mansion married to the General Xiao … Not Full... She had to go up the South Wind House to look for someone the day after their wedding … To find a servant, General Xiao might not … "No way."

It was just a simple sentence, but Xiao Yi had to struggle to finish it. His back was covered in sweat and his entire body felt exhausted.

Xiao Jingyue's face darkened, he waved his hand for Xiao Yi to retreat, and coldly looked at Qu Ling: "What else do you have to say?"

Qu Ling thought about it seriously before clapping his hands, "General, let's talk about the Gu Worm!"

Xiao Jingyue was startled, he did not expect Qu Ling to suddenly mention this, and asked: "How do you want to talk?"

"May I ask how often does the Gu poison in the general's body act up and for how many hours does it work at once?" Qu Ling asked in a serious tone, "How do you feel when you have an attack, and what happens to your body?"

Xiao Jingyue knew in his heart that Qu Ling was changing the topic, but he still answered, "Three days later, the dormant Gu Worm will wake up. At that time, you will know."

The reason why he married this woman so easily was because of the parasite poison in his body. Therefore, Xiao Jingyue did not intend to hide anything, but he would not say too much either, he would just let her see for herself, and see how capable she was.

After Qu Ling heard this, he still wanted to say something, but he did not know what to say.

Xiao Jingyue continued: "Since we have finished talking about the parasite poison, next, it's time to talk about Madam."

Qu Ling's face changed, pretending to be angry: Who's your wife, my name is Qu Ling, Qu Ling!

Surprisingly, Xiao Jingyue did not get angry, and began to speak in a gentle manner: "Qu Ling, you entered and left the Smoky Willow Lane without permission, and poured dirty water on this general. For the sake of the Prime Minister Jiang, this general will not question your crime, but …"

Qu Ling asked doubtfully: "Are you that good?"

Xiao Jingyue, "..."

Qu Ling shrunk his neck back and hid in the corner of the wall, "You continue, continue."

Xiao Jingyue gritted his teeth with a darkened face: "I shall copy the < Female Commandment > a hundred times, when the time is over and when we can eat!"

Qu Ling, "..."

The full text of the < Female Commandment > was more than 2,000 words, and there were a total of 200,000 words when copied over a hundred times. Even if Qu Ling copied everything without eating or drinking, he might not even be able to make it out completely by next year. Qu Ling felt that it would be easier for her to die just like that.

She rushed towards Xiao Jingyue while crying, "Xiao Jingyue, General Xiao, I was wrong!"

Xiao Jingyue ignored Qu Ling and stepped aside to instruct Xiao Yi who was standing outside the study, "Xiao Yi, you stay here and look after her.

Xiao Yi, who was inexplicably implicated, was about to cry.

After he finished instructing, Xiao Jingyue threw aside Qu Ling, who had nothing to live for, and Xiao Yi, who wanted to cry but had no tears to shed, and left the study in a good mood.

Only, Xiao Jingyue's good mood didn't last for long.

The day after the wedding, Qu Ling went to the South Wind House. There were all sorts of rumors about Xiao Jingyue bringing the head of the South Wind House back to the nation's General Mansion. Some said that the General Xiao was no good, while some said that the General Xiao was too good.

The truth was extremely confusing, and it only made it more and more thought-provoking.

After that, throughout the afternoon, countless officials came to visit the Guardian General Mansion. Some of them asked around to find out if the rumors were true, and some said that they wanted to see Qu Ling to see if the General's Madam was still alive and well.

Xiao Jingyue had been pestered for an entire afternoon, and the anger in his heart towards Qu Ling grew even stronger. After sending the last official away, he immediately rode his horse out of the General Mansion gate, and headed towards the Ranging Camp to settle down.

Who knew that the moment Xiao Jingyue stepped into the camp, Chen Linye would immediately rush over with a face full of curiosity and ask: "General Xiao, which rumor is the truth?"

Xiao Jingyue, "..."
