C107

The two men looked at each other. For a moment, neither of them spoke.

Getting a woman to cut her hair was like sending a woman out to be married. It was a huge matter.

Since ancient times, unless one could see through the world and convert to the Buddha, a woman's hair could not be cut easily.

But there was no other way.

Suddenly, the sound of someone crying came from inside the room.

The two of them turned their heads at the same time and headed towards the door that was tightly shut.

Before the two of them could react, the sad cry of a woman came from the room, "I don't want to shave my hair, I don't want to become a nun."

So it turned out that she had heard the words of the two just now.

To Murong Yan, shaving or not did not really matter to him.

After all, he wasn't infected by the Gu, so the Heaven's Secret Powder sticking to her hair didn't harm her at all.

But to Xiao Jingyue, it would be a big deal.

As long as he didn't remove the Heaven's Secret Powder from her body, he wouldn't be able to get close to her.

How could he endure this!

But if he forced her to shave her hair, he wouldn't be able to do it.

Listening to her wails and howls, Xiao Jingyue's heart was in a mess for a moment.

In the bottom of his heart, he was even more angry at Rong Xi, who had harmed both him and his wife, for dismembering him into a million pieces.

But this was also his own fault. Even though he knew that person was in the wrong, he still allowed him to stay at the Clear Wind Inn.

They had clearly already found out Rong Xi's identity, but they didn't tell her. They warned her to watch out, thinking that they could protect her well.

He was the one who had overestimated himself.

As if he had seen through Xiao Jingyue's thoughts, Murong Yan said in a low voice, "If Ah Ling knew that Rong Xi was Chu Yu's little brother, she would not have chased him away."

He understood Qu Ling.

She knew in her heart who was good to her and who was bad to her.

She was a person who would remember every favor she had received.

At first, she only suspected that Gu Xi was Chu Yu's "sister". However, she had kept him by her side, and if she knew that he was her own brother, she would definitely not chase him away.

Xiao Jingyue lowered his eyes and did not speak.

Murong Yan did not want to talk much with him, so he got up and bid his farewell to the west street.

Since Xiao Jingyue was standing guard here, it would be useless for him to keep him. It would be better to go back to arrange matters on the west side of the street and prepare for the South Wind House's opening on the east side.

Xiao Jingyue could not trust Murong Yan's person, so he did not allow Shuang Xue to enter to serve Qu Ling, but rather, allowed her to use her General Mansion to bring Aunt Tao here, to be taken care of by him.

When the Aunt Tao arrived and saw Qu Ling, he immediately threw himself to the side of the bed with tears and snot flowing down his face, continuously calling her "Miss".

When Qu Ling heard her crying, he was originally sad that he had to shave his head, but now, he could no longer care about it.

She raised her hand and patted her shoulder lightly, "Aunt Tao, I'm hungry."

"Miss is hungry." Aunt Tao straightened his body, wiping his tears as he asked, "Miss, what do you want to eat, I will go buy it immediately."

Qu Ling seriously thought for a while, then said: "I want to eat wontons, the one on West Street."

"Alright, I'll go now."

Aunt Tao pulled up her blanket, made a stove in her room, and went out.

Once she left, the room quieted down. Qu Ling could not help but remember to shave his head.

She really didn't want to shave her head.

Without hair, it would not look good.

What if she didn't look good? Xiao Jingyue was in love with her.

The more she thought about it, the more upset she felt. Whenever she felt sad, she wanted Xiao Jingyue to read the book to her.

Therefore, she shouted loudly: "Xiao Jingyue, Xiao Jingyue!"

When the man who was talking to Xiao Yi and Xiao San heard Qu Ling calling his name, he decisively left the two of them and went upstairs.

Xiao San was so angry that his face darkened, "It's just a woman, master is spoiling her too much."

Xiao Yi disapprovingly said, "So what if you spoiled women? If it were your parents, and your father spoiled your mother, would you not be happy?"

Xiao San, "..."

Xiao Yi patted his shoulder and advised him, "Don't be so conflicted. Quickly go and do something."

Xiao San snorted heavily and turned away.

Fortunately, he had left. Otherwise, if Xiao Yi were to hear his master recite another book to his wife, he probably wouldn't be able to stop him.

This South Wind House had yet to open, so there were not many people present.

Xiao Yi moved a chair and sat in the main hall of the first floor as he listened to his master reading the book with relish.

This kind of thing could only be encountered by chance and not sought. Since he had met with it, he definitely had to enjoy it to his heart's content.

When she saw the Xiao Er later on, she could still brag about herself in front of him.

Halfway through Xiao Jingyue's story, the Aunt Tao returned.

Aunt Tao waited for Qu Ling to finish eating the wontons, and then went to the kitchen to boil some water, preparing to help Qu Ling clean his body.

After the Aunt Tao left, Xiao Jingyue put down the book in his hands and warmly said: "If Madam does not want to shave, then she will not."

He wanted to reassure her, to tell her that he would not force her to shave her hair.

Who knew that she would be angered when she heard this? She angrily asked, "Do you not want to see me?"

Xiao Jingyue was startled, and immediately did not know whether to laugh or cry.

He looked down at the words in front of him and sighed helplessly. "Of course I want to. Your husband hasn't hugged Madam for quite some time. I can't bear to think about it."

There was no sound in the room.

In all likelihood, she was shy again.

After a while, he heard her whisper, "If you shave your head and become bald, then I won't look good."

She spoke very quietly. If it wasn't for the fact that his hearing was extremely good, he probably wouldn't have been able to hear her clearly.

A strange emotion appeared in his heart, Xiao Jingyue curled her lips, and her voice unconsciously became gentler: "In your husband's eyes, the mistress will look good no matter what."

Qu Ling immediately said: "Liar, you want to lie to me to shave my hair!"

"…"

Xiao Jingyue's face revealed helplessness, "How can I possibly be willing to believe this?"

"You'll shave your head with me!"

"…"

Without waiting for Xiao Jingyue to speak, Qu Ling had already regretted it.

She said with a bitter face, "Forget it. If you don't look good after shaving your head, what should I do if I don't want to see you anymore?"

Xiao Jingyue, "..."

She frowned at his silence. "Why aren't you saying anything?"

Xiao Jingyue coughed lightly, "He's still here."

"Then why aren't you talking? Did you hear that I'm about to shave my head so you don't want to talk to me?"

"…"

He pondered for a moment and asked tentatively, "Madam has decided to shave my husband's hair?"

There was only a brief silence in response to his words.

After a short while, he heard the Mrs. Xiao shout angrily from the embarrassment: "Whoever shaves your hair, I don't want to die without shaving my hair! Xiao Jingyue, I'm warning you, don't even think about it!"

This was simply too unreasonable.

Xiao Jingyue sighed, and picked up the book on the table.

Instead of continuing his discussion with her about shaving, he continued to read the book.

Actually, she did not say much after Qu Ling got injured, but when he was by her side today, she was so excited that she could not control her mouth.

Even she herself didn't realize how happy she was to have Xiao Jingyue.

Xiao Jingyue hadn't even finished his sentence when he heard Xiao Yi's voice from downstairs, "Master, Jinyi is here."
