Qu Ling had never interacted with Xiao San before, but he could tell that this subordinate of Xiao Jingyue did not like him.

She rolled her eyes and said lightly: "If you're puzzled, then so be it. I don't really want to answer you."

Xiao San, "..."

He did not give up and asked, "Why don't you want to answer?"

Qu Ling replied without turning his head, "My sixth sense tells me that you aren't asking me good questions, so you don't want to answer them."

Xiao San choked for a while, then said: "Madam has misunderstood."

Qu Ling did not continue him this time.

He thought to himself, [I don't care if you misunderstand me or not. I don't like you for instigating my man to meet other women!]

So willful.

Qu Ling did not go to the study room and directly returned to the Clearwind Institution.

Closing the door, she tossed and turned for nearly two hours before finally getting the item out.

She passed the box containing the pills to Xiao Yi and instructed, "Send the pills over personally to Li Chenxuan."

Xiao Yi was unwilling to give away anything to his master's rival in love, so he said, "Master ordered his subordinate to stay by Madam's side."

This time when Qu Ling returned, there were a lot of guards outside the courtyard, surrounding the whole courtyard.

Not only that, Xiao Jingyue had also issued a death command, ordering Xiao Chang Zai to stand by Qu Ling's side, no matter what happened, he was not allowed to take even half a step away from her.

Qu Ling did not say anything, and pouted.

Xiao Yi turned his head in confusion. Seeing that his master had arrived, his face fell.

Xiao Jingyue walked over, glanced at the item in Xiao Yi's hand and lightly said: "Go."

Xiao Yi had no choice but to go.

Qu Ling asked Xiao Jingyue: "Where's Grandfather, did you go back?"

"Time to go back."

Xiao Jingyue lowered his head and kissed her forehead, holding her and walking towards the house, "The weather is cold, your body is not well yet, don't stand outside."

Qu Ling lowered his eyes in disappointment. After entering the room, he suddenly remembered something and asked: "Miss Murong has returned?"

"Never."

Just as he finished answering, Xiao Jingyue regretted it.

Before he could think of a way to remedy the situation, the woman in his embrace had already freed herself from his grasp. She glared at him. "How do you know?"

How he knew that, was naturally what Xiao San had told him.

Xiao Jingyue opened his mouth, but just as he was about to speak, she asked again: "Have you been paying attention to her this whole time?"

"No …"

But before he could finish explaining, Qu Ling covered his ears and shouted: "I'm not listening, I'm not listening!"

Xiao Jingyue, "..."

Qu Ling turned around and went back into the room, and even locked Xiao Jingyue outside.

Aunt Tao stood at the end of the corridor with a broom in his hand. Looking at General Xiao who was standing at the door of the bedroom, he felt that his Young Miss had become even more daring.

If it were any other girl, who would dare to treat her husband this way? Which one of them didn't want their husband to be happy?!

Only her young miss seemed to not care about the General Xiao at all.

However, from the looks of it, the relationship between Young Miss and Young Master was very good. She had been watching them for the past few days.

Xiao Jingyue didn't understand what kind of character Qu Ling was trying to use, and felt extremely angry and helpless in his heart.

After standing outside the door for a while, she noticed that her breathing had calmed down and even, she summoned the Aunt Tao to stand guard at the door, then turned and left.

He still had some things to take care of.

This time, they went on a long journey in search of Chun Chu.

Everything else was ready, except for the time.

He still had more than half a month to go, but this half a month might not be enough for him.

Qu Ling's body had not fully recovered yet, and he had spent a lot of effort to refine medicine for Li Chenxuan.

As he slept, he slept until nightfall.

Aunt Tao, who had been waiting outside the whole time, heard the commotion. He immediately pushed open the door and entered and asked softly: "Is young miss awake?"

Qu Ling sat up, he rubbed his bald head sleepily, "What time is it?"

Aunt Tao replied: "It's already been half an hour."

Winter had come early, and normally it had begun to go dark at first, but now, after a quarter of an hour, it was so dark outside that you could barely see your fingers without the light.

Qu Ling was accompanied by the Aunt Tao to dress, only after a while did he regain his senses, "Where is Xiao Jingyue?"

"It seems to be in the study." Aunt Tao took the hat and helped her put it on, "Do you want this old servant to call the general over?"

Qu Ling shook his head, "No need. "I'm hungry, go and get me something to eat."

"Alright, this old servant will go now."

Aunt Tao walked a few steps, then suddenly thought of something and stopped, turning back to look at Qu Ling, wanting to say something.

Seeing that, Qu Ling asked: What's wrong?

Aunt Tao met her clear eyes and swallowed the words in her mouth.

Without waiting for Qu Ling to ask further, he immediately left the place.

Qu Ling looked at her back, seeming to have thought of something.

Ever since she came to Qi Jing, she had always been taken care of by the Aunt Tao.

As for the Aunt Tao, she had never been able to hide her words from her. But now, she wanted to say something, but what happened?

Qu Ling shook his head, he was too lazy to think anymore. When he thought that Xiao Yi should be back, he called out: "Xiao Yi!"

Xiao Yi appeared in response and knelt on one knee. "Madam."

Qu Ling was startled, but immediately smiled: "Xiao Yi, you suddenly bowed so respectfully, I'm scared!"

This was the first time they had knelt in front of Xiao Jingyue ever since they had met her.

Xiao Yi originally did not think much about it, and subconsciously did as he was told, but after suddenly hearing what Qu Ling said, he immediately felt embarrassed.

After some time, he managed to squeeze out a sentence with extreme difficulty, "Madam is the matriarch, this subordinate should pay his respects."

She was also the Matriarch before, but she had never knelt before. It was likely that she did not recognize her before, and now that she did, it was likely because of the matter of the heart blood.

Qu Ling did not expose him, he smiled and waved his hand, "It's better if you get up, I don't like people kneeling in front of me, don't kneel anymore."

"Yes." Xiao Yi hurriedly stood up. "Madam has called for your subordinate. Is there something you need?"

"I want to eat wontons from West Street."

"…"

Xiao Yi was in a difficult position. He really did not dare to take even half a step away from the matriarch.

Because almost every time he walked away for a little while, she would come up with something.

The reason Master did not punish him for this matter was because he needed more servants, and also because he needed to continue to stand by Madam's side.

Otherwise, his fate would be even worse than the Xiao Er who just attacked her.

Qu Ling could tell that he was in a difficult situation. After thinking for a bit, he said, "Take me to the study room to look for Xiao Jingyue, then go buy wontons."

Xiao Yi thought for a moment before replying, "Yes."

Qu Ling immediately continued: "I'll pay West Street's South Wind House a visit to help me find Jiang Huo and bring Little Qing over here."

Xiao Yi: "…"

If he remembered correctly, Little Green was a green snake.

"Let's go." Qu Ling did not give him the chance to reject her offer.

As she was walking out of the courtyard, she happened to bump into Aunt Tao, who was carrying food over, so Qu Ling got her to bring the dishes over to the study room.

The three of them walked out of the study. Just as Qu Ling was about to knock on the door, he heard Xiao San's voice come from inside: "The entire capital is filled with gossip, if this goes on …"

Xiao Jingyue who was seated behind the table suddenly raised his hand to interrupt Xiao San's words. He stood up and walked to the door, and pulled it open.

The three people outside the door were instantly exposed to his eyes.

Qu Ling looked up at him, blinked his eyes and asked: "Did I disturb you?"

"No problem." Xiao Jingyue wrapped Qu Ling's slightly cold little hand into his palm and pulled her inside.

Qu Ling sat down on the side of the table and asked: "What kind of gossip?"

Aunt Tao was putting the soup on the table. His hands trembled and almost spilled the soup.

Xiao Jingyue lowered his eyes and did not answer.

The study room became eerily quiet.

Qu Ling's heart skipped a beat, he turned and looked at Xiao San who was standing quietly at the side: "Tell me."
