Realizing that Xiao Jingyue despised him, Qu Ling ran out in anger.

Not long after, her loud shout came from outside, "Xiao Yi, prepare a bath for me!"

Xiao Jingyue's forehead twitched, he exhaled lightly, put down the letter in his hand, got up and walked out.

Previously, when there were no women, everyone did not feel that it was inconvenient, but now that there was a Qu Ling in the house, Xiao Jingyue felt that it was really inappropriate.

Xiao Jingyue instructed the Xiao Er to find a few servant girls to return, then he turned and walked towards the Pure Wind House.

The kitchen moved quickly, and soon hot water was being boiled.

Xiao Yi carried the bath barrel to the door of Qu Ling's room, refusing to go in no matter what he said.

Qu Ling said angrily: "You are not moving in, do you want me to wash at the door?"

With a sullen face, Xiao Yi said, "Madam, etiquette is inappropriate."

For whatever reason, he should not have entered his mistress's bedroom.

The two of them continued to argue outside the room, while a group of servants stood by the side, holding hot buckets in their hands. They didn't even dare to breathe loudly.

When Xiao Jingyue came over, what he saw was exactly this scene.

When Xiao Yi saw his master looking as if he had seen his savior, he hurriedly cupped his hands and greeted, "Master!"

Xiao Jingyue waved his hand and had Xiao Yi retreat to the side. He then humbly lifted the bath barrel and moved it into the room.

Seeing that, Qu Ling did not reveal a smile, but instead complained: "Your General Mansion is similar to a monk's temple, even the chickens in the backyard are male."

"…" Xiao Jingyue choked and asked: "How did you know that the chickens in the backyard are male?"

"I'll go take a look!" Qu Ling once went back to the kitchen to find eggs for it to eat. After searching for a long time, he finally found the place where the people in the backyard were raising chickens.

Xiao Jingyue did not want to ask why she was so bored to go and see if the person raising the chicken was male or female.

After the servants had all left, he followed them out of the bedroom.

Outside the bedroom, there was a set of stone tables and chairs under a tree in the courtyard. Xiao Jingyue did not leave immediately.

Xiao Chang Xiao Jingyue had always been the one to report Qu Ling's whereabouts today. Only when he talked about Qu Ling looking for the master of the Treasure Pavilion to get a hairpin did Xiao Jingyue ask, "What hairpin does she want to get?"

Xiao Yi shook his head. "Your subordinate does not know."

He did not follow up with the Treasure Pavilion, and only found out after he returned to find someone else after his wife left.

Xiao Jingyue then asked: "Does Xiao San have any news of the Godly Doctor Gu?"

Xiao Yi still shook his head. "No."

"The little servant from South Wind House?"

"Reporting to my lord, there isn't any."

Ever since they had returned to the capital, all sorts of random things had happened. The people they were looking for hadn't even landed, it was as if they had vanished from the face of the earth.

Xiao Jingyue waved for Xiao Yi to leave, and started to quietly think about what had happened in the past few days.

After Qu Ling finished bathing, he noticed the man sitting under the tree. He was startled for a moment before smiling and walking over, "Sorry to trouble you, General, to help guard the door."

Xiao Jingyue glanced at her, "Go and dry your hair."

"It's so hot. It'll dry itself later." Qu Ling waved his hands casually, walking to the opposite side of the table and sitting down, "Do you know the sickly son of Minister of War Master Li? Today, I heard from outside of his residence that Li Chenxuan had recovered from his illness and was preparing to host a birthday banquet. "

Xiao Jingyue heard of this the moment he left the imperial court. Li Yun had invited him to bring Qu Ling to the Minister of War Palace to attend Li Chenxuan's birthday banquet.

"What do you think, ma'am?"

Qu Ling truthfully replied: "I have never seen Li Chenxuan before, and have only heard of him from other people. I am temporarily unable to have any opinion on him."

Xiao Jingyue said: "On his birthday, we'll see him when we get there."

He had the same thoughts as Qu Ling, a person who had been ill for more than ten years, it was impossible for him to say that he was cured, but no matter what, there would always be a process from recovery to recovery, but he had not heard any news of Li Chenxuan's recovery.

From the way things were going, Li Chenxuan's recovery was definitely related to Huo Xinyi.

Then, after Huo Xinyi drank the Crane Head Red, he died and revived. It was hard to say if Li Chenxuan would do the same.

If that was really the case, then the person who gave them the Gu Worm should be at Minister of War Palace.

However, Huo Xinyi's desperate move to use his own life to test the strength of the parasite was worth investigating.

Qu Ling nodded his head in agreement, and changed the topic, "Has General found Chu Yu's whereabouts?"

Mentioning this matter, Xiao Jingyue's expression immediately changed. He looked coldly at Qu Ling and suddenly asked: "What is your relationship with Murong Yan?"

"…"

"Or perhaps, what is your relationship with South Wind House?"

"…"

Qu Ling faced Xiao Jingyue's gaze which was as sharp as the blade, and braced himself to say: "It doesn't matter, I'm purely curious!"

Even if she was beaten to death, she could not admit that the South Wind House was activated by her. Otherwise, this person would most likely lead troops to seal her South Wind House for face.

It was unknown whether Xiao Jingyue believed it or not, but he coldly replied: "It's best if there's nothing going on!"

Tonight's conversation could be considered as the two leaving on bad terms.

Qu Ling went back to his room to sleep, while Xiao Jingyue went back to the study room.

There were a lot of rooms in the Pure Wind House, but Qu Ling was both happy and annoyed that he didn't even seem to have the mood to live in the same courtyard as her.

He was happy that he didn't have to live with this short-lived pervert. What troubled him was the long term past. Even if he could get the custom-made hairpin back, it would be very difficult to find an opportunity to change it without anyone noticing.

Deep within the night, Qu Ling's body very honestly fell into a deep sleep due to the distress.

That night, she had a dream.

In his dreams, Xiao Jingyue was not satisfied with her not sleeping with him. After marrying two cute and beautiful concubines back to his house, he wanted to chase her, this useless and even edible wife, back home to farm.

Then, when the scene changed, Qu Ling was standing in the field while carrying the hoe under the scorching sun, and started crying pitifully.

As she cried, she woke herself up.

After waking up, Qu Ling found that there were two more beautiful girls in the room, and she almost fainted from anger.

Even when Xiao Yi followed behind her and constantly explained, "That was Master finding a servant to serve you, Madam." She didn't even listen to a single word of it. She was completely immersed in the dream of being driven back to the countryside to farm.
