Qu Ling did not say anything about going to the Treasure Pavilion to get a hairpin, so she did not even need to think to guess that she must have told Xiao Jingyue about it.

That Xiao Yi, was indeed a spy sent by Xiao Jingyue to her side!

Xiao Jingyue raised his brows, "Is the Madam blaming this general for not giving you your jewelry?"

Qu Ling bared his teeth at him and smiled: "I don't dare."

Even if he gave it to her, she wouldn't wear it. Not only that, she would sell it in the pawnshop for silver!

The sun outside the window was getting hotter and hotter, and a steady stream of hot air was coming in from outside, slowly turning the study room into a steamer.

After an unknown period of time, Xiao Jingyue suddenly asked: "What type of hairpin do you like?"

"What?" Qu Ling was so excited that his head was spinning, he couldn't hear what Yue Yang had said clearly at all.

Xiao Jingyue lowered his eyes. "Nothing."

After Qu Ling finished copying the last word of the first time, he used his sleeves to randomly wipe the sweat on his forehead, and angrily said: "Hot on me, I'm not writing anymore!"

Without raising his head, he said lightly, "Up to you."

Qu Ling threw down his brush, stared at the fellow angrily, and ran out of the study without looking back.

He did not stop her. He bent down to pick up the pen she had thrown on the ground and put it back on the table. When he withdrew his hand, he grabbed a piece of paper filled with words.

Comparing the words on the paper with the words on the booklet was indeed extremely ugly.

Xiao Jingyue shook his head and laughed.

The word ugly was something that could be inherited from the womb.

Qu Ling was afraid that Xiao Jingyue would not give her lunch. After leaving the study room, he went straight to the kitchen.

When the men in the kitchen saw her come in, one or two of them dropped what they were doing and dropped to their knees.

Qu Ling pointed to one of the cooks. "You … "Yes, it's you. Go and serve me a bowl of rice and add more dishes. There's nothing against eating meat and vegetables, so the more, the better."

The chef quickly complied, and carefully did as she asked.

Half a quarter of an hour later, Qu Ling left the kitchen with the bowl and chopsticks in his hands, and quickly walked towards the courtyard where he was staying.

Just as he stepped into the courtyard, Qu Ling saw Xiao Yi who had just returned from the Prime Minister Mansion.

Xiao Yi clasped his hands and bowed. "Madam."

"He's back." Qu Ling carried his bowl and sat down on the stone table, "What did Aunt Tao say?"

"Aunt Tao said that there are some things that I haven't finished taking care of in the Palace. I won't be able to come to General Mansion for another two days."

"Alright, no rush." Qu Ling suddenly smiled and waved at him, "Xiao Yi, come over."

Xiao Yi saw the strange smile on the girl's face. After hesitating for a moment, he walked over uneasily.

"Do you know who Xiao Jue is?"

"…"

Xiao Budian replied Qu Ling with a puzzled look in his eyes, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "Reporting to Madam, that's the name of the general."

In the Kingdom of Altar, powerful men who performed the Weak Crown Ceremony were helped to choose words by their elders.

"Jing Yue" was their master's word, and "Xiao Jue" was their master's name.

Qu Ling thought for a while and understood the reason why. "There is a name 'Qing' in it, and the person who knows your family's general, who is it?"

The letter she had just found in the study had the word "Qing" written on it.

Xiao Yi hesitated for a moment before replying, "If your subordinate isn't mistaken, it should be the eldest young master of the Murong Villa."

Whether it was the imperial government or the martial arts world, many people were familiar with the relationship between Master and the young master Murong Qing of the Murong Villa. There was no need to hide anything.

Qu Ling had just stuffed a mouthful of rice into his mouth, and upon hearing Xiao Yi's words, he immediately spat out the mouthful of rice.

What the heck, the person who wrote the letter to Xiao Jingyue was actually Murong Yan's brother, Murong Qing?

So it turned out that Xiao Jingyue was not only a short-lived pervert, but also a dead Gay!

No wonder he was so angry that he destroyed the letter.

After considering for a while, Xiao Yi was still unable to hold back and gave a few words of reminder, "The relationship between the Murong Villa and the Southern Guarding Prince Palace has always been pretty good. Young Master Murong is the master's foster brother, and Miss Murong can also be considered half a junior sister. This subordinate heard that Xiao Er had unintentionally mentioned two days ago that that Miss Mu Rong is coming to the capital to find Master. "

Not only was he coming, he heard that he was already on his way and was almost there!

Qu Ling was still thinking about the letter and answered half-heartedly, not taking it to heart at all.

At night, when Xiao Yi and Xiao Jingyue reported about Qu Ling's matter, he even spoke about what Qu Ling had asked.

Xiao Jingyue didn't say anything, he only said, "There is no need to mention the matter of the Murong Villa to her."

Xiao Yi did not understand the reason why, but he still respectfully replied.

The masters of the Treasure Pavilion not only had high skills in jewellery, but also in drawing.

The snake-shaped hairpin on the drawing paper that Master Chen drew was no different from what Qu Ling had said.

After Qu Ling finished reading, he was very satisfied and immediately paid the deposit. In the end, he asked: "How long will it take for this hairpin to come out?"

Master Chen said, "Five days at the fastest, seven days at the latest."

Qu Ling nodded, "That's good."

Goodbye Master Chen, just as she stepped out of the room Master Chen was working in, she saw Huo Xinyi coming down from the stairs.

The current Huo Xinyi was dressed in a red dress, with a face full of smiles and a ruddy complexion, she did not look like a person who had just finished "feeling unwell" at all.

Qu Ling raised his eyebrows, and smiled as he walked over, "Boss Huo, are you feeling better?"

When Huo Xinyi saw Qu Ling, his face stiffened unnaturally for a moment. Then he laughed dryly: "It's already alright, thank you Mrs. Xiao for your concern."

Qu Ling nodded, when he passed by the other party, he deliberately turned his leg and moved towards Huo Xinyi.

Huo Xinyi's expression changed, and subconsciously, he wanted to break away, but his hands were caught by Qu Ling.

The moment her skin touched's palm, a bone-chilling coldness spread from Huo Xinyi's hand to her palm, causing her to shiver uncontrollably.
