The next day, early in the morning, Qu Ling returned to his General Mansion with a heavy heart. When he heard that Xiao Jingyue had left the house, he heaved a sigh of relief.

However, before he could relax for long, the moment he set his foot inside, he heard the Aunt Tao say with an anxious expression on his face, "Young Miss, the general really came over last night."

She had been looking forward to the day when the general would come over to eat and sleep with her young mistress. The general had never come by once, but last night had been like that … The general came instead.

Qu Ling's face changed, "Did he say anything?"

"The general didn't say anything. He just ordered his men to wake Xiao Yi up and then went out." The Aunt Tao frowned, "I don't know where the general went, but when he returned, his face was frighteningly dark! However, he did not say anything, nor did he leave. He stayed in Miss's room for the rest of the night. "

Qu Ling was startled, but did not say anything. After Aunt Tao left, she went back to her room, staring at the neatly folded blanket and stared blankly.

After a long while, she murmured, "What is he doing here?"

"Mistress was afraid that you might have misunderstood his relationship with Miss Mu Rong, so she came over after taking care of things in the study." Xiao Yi had appeared behind Qu Ling at some point in time.

Qu Ling was shocked and he said angrily: "Can you make any noise while walking?"

Xiao Yi's eyes were filled with hidden bitterness as he looked at her. He then continued, "Last night, when Master left the manor to look for Madam, he met an evil person on the way and was injured."

Qu Ling looked surprised: "Xiao Jingyue is injured?"

Was there a ghost on the street last night? Why was Murong Yan injured, Xiao Jingyue was also injured!

Xiao nodded. "It has been many years since Master has been injured outside the battlefield. If it wasn't for you wanting to find Madam last night …"

As he spoke to here, Xiao Yi skillfully stopped; he didn't say anything further.

After Qu Ling heard this, he somewhat guiltily lowered his head, and an apologetic feeling of having lost something rose from the bottom of his heart.

After Xiao Yi left, she curled up in her room and stared blankly at the Jade Scorpion and the Blood Spider.

When she heard that the Aunt Tao had said that Xiao Jingyue was back, she finally picked up the Jade Scorpion and the Blood Spider and went out.

Just as he reached the door of the study, he saw Murong Shan, who had also come to look for Xiao Jingyue.

When Murong Shan saw Qu Ling, he scoffed in disdain and slowed down his footsteps, "You're also here to look for Big Brother Xiao?"

Qu Ling's face sunk. He did not want to argue with her, so he directly walked past her and headed inside.

But how could Murong Shan let her go so easily? Thinking about how Xiao Jingyue had ignored her the moment he saw her, Murong Shan became anxious and immediately rushed over to pull her back. "Wait, you're not allowed to go in!"

Qu Ling felt pain in his wrist, and could not help but let out a cry.

The Blood Spider and Jade Scorpion thought that she was hurt and immediately jumped out of her embrace to pounce towards Murong Shan.

Ah!" Murong Shan screamed out in fear and released Qu Ling. She desperately used her sleeves to open up those two things. "What the hell are you doing, get lost!

Seeing this scene, Xiao Yi, who was hiding in the dark, almost couldn't hold back his laughter.

He knew that the Madam wasn't someone to be easily bullied.

Inside the study room, when Xiao Jingyue heard the commotion, he asked: "What happened outside?"

Xiao Er reported everything truthfully.

When Xiao Jingyue heard that Qu Ling had come over, he was startled. He immediately got up and walked out.

In the courtyard, Murong Shan was still jumping up and down non-stop. He was so scared by the Jade Scorpion and the Blood Spider that he was about to cry.

Qu Ling happily stood at the side, enjoying the miserable state he was in.

Without her command, the Jade Scorpion and the Blood Spider wouldn't casually release the venom. It would be good to scare this woman.

The heavens knew that from the moment she first saw this woman, who was so arrogant that a peacock could flutter its tail, she had wanted to do this. If not for Murong Yan, she would not have tolerated Murong Shan up till now.

Xiao Jingyue walked out of the study room, coldly glanced at Murong Shan, and leisurely walked to Qu Ling's side, and said in a low voice: "Put it away."

Qu Ling exclaimed as she placed her thumb and forefinger next to her mouth and whistled. The two little things immediately jumped down from Murong Shan's body and crawled back to her feet.

She picked them up and shoved them back into her embrace, then turned to look at Xiao Jingyue. Just as she was about to ask him where he was injured, Murong Shan came over and pointed at her while shouting, "Brother Xiao, this woman actually keeps such a disgusting thing. She wants to poison me to death!"

Qu Ling stared coldly at Murong Shan for a while, her small mouth suddenly curled, and immediately pretended to be a soft white lotus, jumping behind Xiao Jingyue and moaning in pain. She imitated Murong Shan's tone and complained: "Master Xiang, it was this woman who hit me first, she even grabbed my wrist!"

Xiao Jingyue, "..."

Murong Shan did not expect Qu Ling to actually denounce her. After a moment of shock, he lowered his voice and said: "I did not do it on purpose."

Qu Ling also said, "I did not do it on purpose."

"You!" Murong Shan suddenly raised his head and glared at Qu Ling.

Qu Ling smiled at her complacently, he almost raised two of his fingers to point at the victorious "V" hand, and said silently: "Come, bite me!"

Murong Shan, "..."

Xiao Yi and Xiao Er, who were spectating, couldn't help but turn their heads away, not daring to look anymore.

Xiao Jingyue calmly stood in front of Qu Ling and asked: "What is Miss Murong looking for this general for?"

How could Murong Shan not see that Xiao Jingyue was protecting Qu Ling? Listening to his cold and indifferent tone, he recalled that every time he saw her, he would only ask "are you alright?", his eyes reddened, and said hoarsely: "I'm fine, I just want to come over to see you."

Xiao Jingyue lightly nodded, and said: "This general and your brother have already exchanged letters, and soon, someone will come to bring you back to the Murong Villa."

"I don't want to go back!" Murong Shan stubbornly raised his head, and with red eyes he questioned: "You previously said that you don't plan on getting married, but why did you marry her?"

Qu Ling wanted to give her a "why the hell does this have to do with you", but seeing that she was about to cry, he did not have the heart to say it out loud, so he continued to hide behind Xiao Jingyue and watch the show.

If it was the past, Xiao Jingyue would definitely answer Chen Linye like he did before marriage, saying that it was impossible to disobey the orders of an emperor.

At this moment, he could only softly say, "Nothing is absolute in this world."

Qu Ling was startled.

She raised her hand and used her sleeve to wipe her eyes. Suddenly, she angrily glared at Qu Ling, "Don't all of you men like women? You can marry me as long as you can marry her. I will go back and tell my father to marry me to you! "

With that, he turned and ran, not giving Xiao Jingyue any chance to refuse.

Xiao Jingyue looked at Murong Shan's back, his eyebrows knitted tightly.

Qu Ling did not expect this girl to be so stubborn, and only after a long time did she come back to her senses, feeling somewhat awkward. She covered her lips and coughed lightly, and asked softly: "Are you going to chase after her? I think that girl is quite rare, she came all the way here to find you … "Hey, why are you holding my collar again!"

Xiao Jingyue's face was gloomy, he brought her into the study.
