After leaving Qi Jing for two or three months, he would return and walk on the streets. Qu Ling felt that he was familiar with everything.

But compared to Ah Xin who was beside her, her undulating emotions were nothing.

"Sis, Sis, what is that person doing?" Ah Xin pointed to a person and asked excitedly.

Qu Ling turned his head to look at the three to four dead rats hanging on the bamboo pole. His heart skipped a beat, and he said after a long while: "That person was selling rat medicine."

"What about that one over there?"

"Mask kneader."

"And that one?"

"A sugar-blower."

Along the way, Ah Xin would ask her about everything.

Before going to South Wind House, Qu Ling took Ah Xin to the wonton stall to eat a bowl of wontons. After filling up his stomach, he then pulled her towards the back door of South Wind House.

As soon as the two of them entered, they saw the embroidered clothes, which was drying medicinal herbs in the backyard.

When Jin Yi heard the footsteps and looked back, she was overjoyed to see that it was Qu Ling. She immediately stood up and greeted him, "Miss, you're finally back!"

"Yeah, I'm finally back."

Qu Ling responded as he led Ah Xin inside, "Where is Jiang Huo?"

Jin Yi replied, "I'm upstairs, I'm learning to read the account book from Young Master Murong."

Qu Ling's footsteps paused, "Murong is here?"

"I've been back for almost a month."

"Fine."

After Qu Ling introduced Ah Xin and Jin Yi to each other, he left them and ran upstairs himself.

She had so much to say to Murong that she didn't want to wait a moment.

She quickly ran up the stairs, and just as she reached the last step of the third floor, she saw a small figure rushing out from the room, "Big sister!"

Jiang Huo rushed over and jumped into Qu Ling's embrace, almost knocking her down.

Qu Ling held onto the armrest to stabilize his body, and just when he was about to open his mouth to scold Jiang Huo, he saw from the corner of his eyes a wisp of azure bamboo silhouette following closely behind Jiang Huo as he walked out of the room. He immediately swallowed the rebuke that was about to reach his mouth, and spoke with a smile: "Murong, I'm back!"

Murong Yan's gaze quietly swept across the lady's body. Seeing that she had become thinner, he frowned slightly, turned his body, and said gently: "Come in first."

Just as the three of them sat down around the table, they heard the sound of light footsteps coming from outside.

Not long after, a petite figure appeared at the entrance of the account office and excitedly asked the inside, "Sis, Sis, I see that there are a lot of people downstairs. What are they selling here?"

Qu Ling, "..."

Little girl, you've asked all the way here, can you stop now?

Murong Yan covered her lips and coughed, then asked warmly: "Who is this young lady?"

Without waiting for Qu Ling's reply, Jiang Huo said: "Sister, my sister, Ah Xin."

Although he was young when he left the Miao Boundary, his elder sister had told him a lot of things regarding Miao Village over the years. As a result, Jiang Huo always knew that he had a grandmother and elder sister who lived in Miao Village.

Ah Xin was not afraid of anything new. After greeting Murong Yan and Jiang Huo separately, he continued to ask: "Sister, you still haven't told me what kind of store this is."

Qu Ling, "..."

She didn't want to talk at all.

Because she really couldn't tell this little girl what they were selling here.

She looked at Jiang Huo.

Jiang Huo understood and got up to pull Ah Xin along, speaking to her in a not very fluent manner: "Second Sister, follow me, I'll tell you what this place is selling."

"Second sister?" You called me second sister, then you are Jiang Huo? "

"Yes, I am Jiang Huo."

Hearing the voices of the two little fellows growing further and further away, Qu Ling finally managed to let out a breath of relief.

It was terrible to hear so many questions.

Coincidentally, Jin Yi had just brought up some tea. After Jin Yi put down the things, Qu Ling said: "Go and keep an eye on the two of them, don't let them run around."

Unlike Miao Boundary, Beijing was better at paying attention to everything.

Jin Yi smiled and replied, "Alright."

After the embroidered clothes left, the room finally quietened down.

Murong Yan kept the account book on the table, and slowly poured himself two cups of hot tea. He pushed one cup in front of Qu Ling, and asked gently: "Did your trip go smoothly?"

Qu Ling lowered his eyes to look at the tea in front of him, and after a long while, he said: "It was not going smoothly."

When she met Chu Yu in Miao Boundary, she mentioned the words that Chu Yu asked her to pass down, and she also mentioned the girl who looked exactly the same as Chu Yu when they left his place in Miao Boundary …

Inform Murong Yan everything.

But she did not mention anything about their true purpose for coming to the Miao Boundary, how she had gotten married to Xiao Jingyue again at the Miao Boundary, or that there was a parasite in Xiao Jingyue's body.

Firstly, she felt that it was unnecessary, and secondly, it was Xiao Jingyue's private matter, so she couldn't say it.

Murong Yan wasn't surprised that Qu Ling had met Chu Yu in Miao Boundary, but when he heard the words that she had relayed to Chu Yu, a dark light quickly flashed past his eyes.

"Do you really think that Gu Xi is Chu Yu's sister?"

Murong Yan shook his head, "According to what I know, Chu Yu doesn't have a sister, but he does have a little brother."

Without waiting for Qu Ling to ask further, he continued, "As for where that brother of his is, whether or not he is still alive, his looks, and how old he is, he has never mentioned it to me before.

Qu Ling sighed, "Then I can only wait until I see Chu Yu and ask him."

Murong Yan shook his head, put down the teacup in his hand, looked at her and said solemnly, "Let's not bring up Chu Yu for now. There are two things I need to tell you. "

Qu Ling looked back at him, and only heard his slow voice say: "The first thing, is that the dead body of Murong Villa's concubine died one month ago. In front of the servant girl, she died completely dry and clean in her room, and the coroner came to examine her corpse, only to find that she drowned."

"The second thing is that after Huo Xinyi's death, all the property belonging to the stores had been transferred to the young master of Minister of War's residence. The Heavenly Frost Grass should have fallen into Li Chenxuan's hands."

"Li Chenxuan married the young miss of the Caoital Officials Palace, Li Ning'er, one and a half months ago. I heard that two days ago, Li Ning'er went to the Prime Minister Mansion and General Mansion to inquire about your return, and she seemed to be looking for you due to an urgent matter. You can use the name of visiting her to go to the Minister of War Palace to investigate the whereabouts of the Sky Frost Grass."
