Xiao Jingyue put down the cup, and said lightly: "Miss Murong is very good, but this junior has already gotten married.

Even though he had expected this answer, Villa Owner Murong couldn't help but feel disappointed.

To be fair, Xiao Jingyue was someone that he liked. If he could become his own son-in-law, that would be great.

However, this person already had a wife, so he didn't have that intention in his heart. Some words would be meaningless if he were to continue.

After all, he couldn't allow his precious daughter to become someone else's concubine.

Villa Owner Murong said, "Even so, after the birthday banquet, we shouldn't meet again. Don't give her hope for nothing."

Xiao Jingyue gently nodded and agreed.

Even though Villa Owner Murong knew that relationships are all fated, the person who was rejected was his precious daughter, so he couldn't help but feel angry.

With the excuse that he had other important matters to attend to, he flicked his sleeves and left.

Xiao Jingyue walked out of the study and immediately saw Murong Qing leaning against the pillar.

Murong Qing laughed: "Grandfather's birthday, I'm afraid it won't be too comfortable."

In their generation, there was only Murong Shan who was a girl. Both father and grandfather were extremely precious to Murong Shan.

After knowing that Xiao Jingyue had rejected Murong Shan, even if she knew that she could not force him, it would be hard to not agree with him in her heart.

Xiao Jingyue said calmly: "If you can't give it to me, it's good to be clear about it as soon as possible."

Murong Qing squinted her amorous eyes, and asked with a smile that was yet not a smile: "General Xiao, may I ask, who are you preparing to give that thing to, your Mrs. Xiao?"

Qu Ling sat on top of the wall and lowered his head to look at Xiao Yi who was standing underneath the wall without moving an inch. He said helplessly: "Hey, Xiao Yi, you have been standing there for almost two hours already.

He didn't feel tired standing, but she did feel a pain in her ass when she sat there.

Ever since she climbed on top of the wall, he had been standing guard outside with a look of "if I dare to jump down, he'll immediately capture me".

Xiao Dao said, "As long as Madam can continue on, this subordinate will leave immediately."

"Down? "Where are you going? Your side, or behind me?"

"..." This subordinate humbly requests Madam to return to her room. "

Qu Ling scoffed and patted his bottom, standing up. Just as he was about to go down, he suddenly saw something from the corner of his eyes, and his movements suddenly stopped.

Afraid that she had misjudged him, she immediately turned around and rubbed the corner of her eyes, focusing her gaze once again.

This time she saw.

There was a girl wearing a red dress standing by the lake. She was currently climbing up to the railing. Her body was swaying and she looked somewhat frightening.

Qu Ling pointed to the girl and shouted, "Xiao Yi!"

Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment before he turned around to look.

When she clearly saw the woman's actions, she was stunned for a moment. Then, she immediately understood what Qu Ling meant.

It was just that this place wasn't General Mansion after all, so it didn't seem appropriate for them to meddle in other people's business.

Qu Ling did not care whether it was proper or not, she was afraid of having a nightmare.

Seeing that the girl was about to climb up, she angrily said: "Xiao Yi, I order you to pull her back!"

She had never thought that people were of all ranks, so this was the first time she had formally ordered a subordinate to do so.

However, she couldn't care about that anymore. If she stayed any longer, that person might really jump down.

Xiao Yi did not hesitate any longer and immediately used his Qing Gong to rush over, bringing the woman away.

At the same time, Qu Ling jumped down the wall and ran towards them.

The girl's empty eyes gradually focused. When she saw the person in front of her, her face immediately turned pale and she hurriedly knelt down. "Greetings, honorable guests."

From the way he called himself, he seemed to be the concubine of a certain master in the Manor.

Qu Ling did not let them get up, and asked indifferently: "Why so light?"

In her lifetime, the people she looked down on the most were people who didn't treasure their lives and sought death at every turn.

In this world, how many people would not be able to live? How could those who could still live be able to look down on their own lives?

That servant looked away and stuttered, "Your servant …" I do not. "

"Madam." Xiao Yi called out softly.

Qu Ling glanced at him and waved his hand, "Forget it, you can go now."

The servant acted as if he was granted amnesty and kowtowed a few times before retreating.

Waiting for the servant to leave, Xiao Yi said in an obscure tone: "Then I will be a part of the Murong Villa and will have the owner of the villa to take care of me."

Qu Ling rolled his eyes and ignored her.

The two of them returned to the courtyard one after the other. The moment they stepped into the courtyard, they heard a familiar voice sounding from the side.

"Qu Ling, you stop right there!"

Qu Ling's eyelids jumped, he ignored them and continued to walk.

"I told you to stop!"

Murong Shan's eyes turned red, he waved the thorns in his hand.

Xiao Yi was shocked and immediately drew his sword to block the whip.

The whip just brushed past Qu Ling's feet, and with a "pa" sound, it hit the ground.

Qu Ling was shocked, he retreated a dozen steps with his pale face and said: "Are you crazy!"

"I'm crazy."

Murong Shan's face was filled with tears as he pointed at her with the long hair in his hand, "I don't understand anymore, just how am I inferior to you? Why did he choose you?"

Qu Ling felt angry and amused at the same time, "You really want to know?"

Murong Shan was enraged: "Nonsense!"

"You don't have as many places as I do. "Firstly, I am prettier than you, and my personality is more pleasing than yours."

"…"

"Second, my grandfather is the Prime Minister, my aunt is the mother of a nation, and her family is stronger than yours."

"…"

"Third, your father doesn't have the ability to force Xiao Jingyue to marry you, my uncle the emperor does."

"…"

Almost with every sentence Qu Ling spoke, Murong Shan's face grew paler.

But Qu Ling still had no plans to let her go, he laughed and said: "Fourth, I will never force my way through difficult situations."

These words were like needles stabbing Murong Shan's heart. The pain made her almost unable to stand steadily.

She said unwillingly: "Big brother Xiao and I have known each other since we were young, he …"

Qu Ling coldly cut her off: "Love matters are not always the first to arrive, if the childhood sweetheart is of use, how can she fall in love at first sight?"

Murong Shan's body stiffened.

Seeing that he was injured, Qu Ling calmed himself down and waved his hand to chase him away, "If there's nothing else, Miss Murong, please go back."

Murong Shan regained his senses and subconsciously roared: "Get it straight, this is my house!"

Qu Ling calmly replied, he did not linger in battle, and turned to leave, "Then do as you please, I'm going back to my room to sleep … Women age quickly when they stay up late. You are older than me to begin with, so it would not be good if you looked older than me. "

Murong Shan clenched his hair tightly, he wanted to rush up and tear that woman's mouth apart!

After Murong Shan left, two figures walked out from the darkness.

Xiao Jingyue said without even turning his head around, "There's no need to stand guard here tonight. Go and take a look at Xiao Er."

Xiao Yi nodded slightly, then reported to Xiao Jingyue about the jumping woman before he left.

In the bedroom, just as Qu Ling was about to climb onto the bed to sleep, he suddenly heard the door to his room being pushed open.

She wrapped herself in a blanket and glared at the man who came in, flustered and exasperated. "There are so many empty rooms, why did you come here for!?"

Xiao Jingyue shut the door behind him and took off his robes as he walked in, "Naturally, I will be resting with Madam."

Qu Ling was so angry that he rolled his eyes, "I'm not sleeping with you, you go next door!"

Even though she had been sleeping with him ever since they left the capital, she was still wearing her clothes.

If she had known earlier that this pervert was so shameless, she wouldn't have taken off her clothes!

Xiao Jingyue threw the outer robe on the screen, turned around and got onto the bed. Without saying a word, he pulled her into his embrace and covered her with her clothes.
