Huo Xinyi noticed Qu Ling's abnormality and furrowed his brows, wanting to retract his hand immediately.

Qu Ling secretly clenched his teeth, and grabbed onto her hand forcefully, borrowing her strength to stand firm. He then smiled at her apologetically: "Thank you, Boss Huo."

"You're welcome." Huo Xinyi lowered his eyes, looked at the hands that Qu Ling was tightly grabbing onto, and did not try to retract his hands anymore. Forcefully, he pulled out a touch of a smile and softly said: "Mrs. Xiao has to be careful, if we were to hit again, General Xiao's heart will probably ache."

Qu Ling was so cold that she could not take it anymore. She finally let go of Huo Xinyi's hand, and her index and middle finger casually drew a line on her pulse.

His palms were so cold that they hurt terribly. Qu Ling placed his hands behind his back and continuously rubbed his clothes with his palms, but he didn't have the slightest bit of change in his expression. It's not like he would feel heartache! "

Huo Xinyi did not reply, but smiled and did not speak, quietly pulling away from Qu Ling.

The current Huo Xinyi was completely different from the who had gossips all over her face at the back door of South Wind House.

If it was the Huo Xinyi of the past, she would definitely investigate everything after hearing Qu Ling's words. But now, she didn't even ask.

Qu Ling noticed this subtle change and suddenly felt uncomfortable in his heart. He hurriedly bade Huo Xinyi farewell and left the Treasure Pavilion.

His entire body was ice-cold and lifeless. What kind of Gu could turn a person into this?

It was best not to let her see the person who produced such a poisonous Gu, or else she would definitely show it to that person!

"Elder sister!" A familiar voice came from behind her, followed by a pat on the shoulder.

Qu Ling turned around, and stared at Jiang Huo's young and tender face for a long time. Finally, he came back to reality and asked: "Why are you here?"

"I came to eat wontons." Jiang Huo pointed to the wontons stall that was not far away.

Qu Ling looked up and realized that she had unknowingly walked to West Street.

He suddenly really wanted to go to the South Wind House.

Ever since their marriage, she was afraid that Xiao Jingyue would find out and never go to the South Wind House again.

Chu Yu's whereabouts were still unknown, and he didn't know what kind of situation he was currently in within the South Wind House.

Qu Ling took out the three little things from his bosom and stuffed them into Jiang Huo's hands, "They haven't eaten anything good since I've been here before, take care of them for a while."

Anyone who wasn't full would be lazy and unproductive, let alone a small poisonous substance like this. If she couldn't feed it to make it useful, it would be useless to stay by her side.

Jiang Huo saw that Qu Ling's expression was not right, and asked worriedly: "Elder sister, is there something on your mind?"

"Little bastard, you know what is on your mind!" Qu Ling reached out her hand to pat Jiang Huo's head in annoyance and amusement. Her frostbitten palm immediately released a burst of pain, causing her to almost scream out in pain.

He secretly opened his palm to take a look. His palm was red and swollen, looking a little too horrible to look at.

Qu Ling never thought that Huo Xinyi's body alone would be so cold that it would actually be able to frostbite her.

"Who said I don't know!" Jiang Huo did not notice her strangeness, he covered the spot where his head had been slapped and said grievingly, "Of the generals and wives in this book, eight out of ten of their worries is because of their husband. Your older sister's worries are definitely also because of brother-in-law."

Qu Ling, "..."

Young man, don't you think so much?

Qu Ling coughed lightly. Just as he was about to explain to Jiang Huo that she did not have any thoughts on what to do with him, he heard Jiang Huo grumble, "It's said that a married sister is someone who's been splashed with water. After you marry your brother-in-law, you will neither return your Prime Minister Mansion nor come to the south …

"Shh!" Her expression changed and she hurriedly covered Jiang Huo's mouth. "I'm on the street right now, thinking about how to speak."

Xiao Yi secretly followed behind her. All the martial artists had good hearing, if Jiang Huo shouted that out, Xiao Yi would definitely be able to hear him.

That Xiao Yi is an extraordinary follower and informant.

She thought for a moment, then went close to Jiang Huo and whispered in his ears: "Go back and tell Murong Yan to come to the wonton stall at a moment's time tomorrow, tell him that I have something to talk to him about."

Jiang Huo pouted, "Alright."

Not only would married sisters not be able to play with them, they would also have to hide their appearances.

After Jiang Huo left, Qu Ling went to the wonton stall in front of him to eat a bowl of wonton, and only then did he return to General Mansion.

On the way, they bumped into a carriage from Minister of War's residence. A group of guards followed behind the carriage, looking extremely mighty, as if they had just returned from some unknown place.

Qu Ling moved to the side of the road, and turned to ask the bystanders, "Is that the carriage from Minister of War's residence?"

That person said, "That's right."

Qu Ling asked again, "We brought over fifty people, where are they heading to?"

The other person saw that Qu Ling was pretty and immediately came over and said, "Didn't they go there? They just went to the Nine Heroes Temple and they are willing to come back. A few days ago, didn't his young master seem to have recovered from his illness? Judging from his posture, he should be the young master from the Li family sitting inside the carriage … "

Just then, the curtains on the horse carriage was raised, and a red face appeared in front of Qu Ling's eyes.

The person beside him immediately said, "Look, it should be him. He's quite handsome."

The people in the carriage looked towards the crowd and landed on the body of one of the women.

Qu Ling didn't even dodge as he met the gaze of the young master, and smiled at him.

The young master was stunned. Even after the carriage had gone far away, he still maintained his position of raising the curtains.

Only when a servant came to remind him did the young master come back to his senses. He muttered under his breath, "What an exquisite young lady."

The moment Qu Ling returned to the General Mansion, he met with Xiao Jingyue, who had returned from another direction.

Looking at General Xiao's handsome appearance after getting off the horse, she suddenly felt an itch in her heart and smiled as she greeted him. "Good morning, General."

Xiao Jingyue was already completely used to this kind of casual greeting without even looking at the time. He said in a calm voice: "It's the end of the young era, it's not early anymore."

Just then, Xiao Yi suddenly appeared, walked to Xiao Jingyue's side and whispered something to him.

After that, Xiao Jingyue frowned as he walked in front of Qu Ling with large steps and grabbed her hand without saying anything.
