Seeing Qu Ling and Xiao Er, Xiao San frowned, he put down the things in his hands and bowed to Qu Ling: "Madam."

Qu Ling didn't pay attention to him. She covered her mouth and nose as she stood outside the latrine, happily greeting Murong Shan. "Miss Murong, long time no see."

Murong Shan stared at her angrily, just as he was about to speak, his gaze unintentionally swept across the hat on her head.

He suddenly thought of something and sneered. He then spat out two words, "Baldy!"

Qu Ling, "..."

Without waiting for her to return, Xiao Er coldly said, "Miss Murong, please be careful!"

Since Xiao Er was Xiao Jingyue's man, naturally, Murong Shan didn't dare to do anything to him as she was afraid that he and Xiao Jingyue would complain. She could only glare angrily at Qu Ling, and unhappily said: "Stop gloating here, if you don't help, hurry up and leave, don't cause any trouble here!"

"If you leave just like that, then I'll really have no face at all."

Qu Ling scoffed, he did not want to leave, but he still stood steadily, "Furthermore, when is it your turn to speak here?"

"You!" Murong Shan was so angry that he wanted to use the cloth in his hand to smash her face.

Seeing that, Xiao Er's face darkened, he quietly stood in front of Qu Ling.

Standing behind Murong Shan, Xiao San suddenly shot Xiao Er a glance, telling him to quickly bring the person away.

Xiao Er acted as if he did not see it.

From his point of view, Qu Ling was the true mistress of the General Mansion, and she could go wherever she wanted.

Qu Ling ignored Murong Shan's stare and pointed to a corner in the latrine, "I can see that the corner is not very clean, you can clean it again."

Murong Shan naturally wouldn't listen to her, he just stood there and didn't move.

Seeing that, Xiao San quietly turned around and swept over to the place Qu Ling had pointed to.

"What are you doing here?"

A familiar man's voice sounded from behind them. Qu Ling and Xiao Er turned around at the same time and saw Xiao Jingyue standing with his hands behind his back, frowning at them.

Just now, when Xiao Jingyue went to the Clearwind Institution to find Qu Ling, he asked the Dark Guard guarding the courtyard. Only then did he find out that his wife had gone to the latrine.

When Murong Shan saw Xiao Jingyue, his eyes lit up as he looked at him with an almost infatuated gaze.

No matter how many years she had known this man, in her heart, he was as breathtaking as when she was young.

Even though she knew that he was already married, even though she knew that he wouldn't marry her, she still wanted to see him.

Seeing that Xiao Jingyue had arrived, Qu Ling did not want to continue watching him.

Without even looking at her, he slowly walked towards Xiao Jingyue. "Why are you here?"

Xiao Jingyue waited until she was right in front of him, then helped her straighten the fox fur before warmly saying: "I'm looking for you."

Qu Ling tilted his head, and laughed: "Let's go back to the house, it's too smelly here, it's almost suffocating."

In the hut, Murong Shan watched the two walking away, his heart sour and filled with unhappiness.

Xiao San took a glance at her and could not bear to do it, "Where in the world is there no grass?

With Murong Manor's prestige and her appearance, finding a husband like her was a piece of cake. Why would Xiao be looking at a man who wouldn't even look at her?

Murong Shan said bitterly: "I know, I just can't control myself."

If emotions could be easily controlled, then the world wouldn't have so many men and women who couldn't even beg for it anymore.

In the evening, Aunt Tao brought back news that said Jin Yi was indeed sick and did not discover any other abnormalities.

After Qu Ling heard this, although he could not relax, but because he could not personally confirm it, he did not say anything else.

The weather got colder and colder day by day as winter approached. The snow that had arrived much later this year finally began to fall without a sound at the dawn of the first day.

After being heavily injured, Qu Ling's body became even more delicate and unbearably cold. She spent most of her time in the house, roasting the flames.

From time to time, he would stare blankly or watch the snow falling outside. A day would pass by without him even realizing it.

In the end, Qiu Zhu was still granted death.

After drinking a bowl of arsenic, he would be left with an intact corpse even though he would have died in pain.

Hearing that Li Ning'er did not care about the opposition of the Minister's Wife, and brought the corpse back, ordering the people to be buried well.

When Qu Ling heard this news, he did not feel surprised at all.

Firstly, because Qiu Zhu was a servant who did not have much power, and secondly, because her parents did not have much influence, they did not have much love for her. Secondly, because Li Chenxuan did not even care about her, and thirdly, because Li Chenxuan did not even care about her, if he did care about her, how could he be willing to drink her blood everyday, and push her to death step by step?

Qu Ling could not help but laugh bitterly, "I'm afraid this time Ning'er is going to blame me."

Xiao Er who was waiting at the side said disapprovingly: "Madam did not do anything wrong, the servant did not know what's good for her."

Qu Ling sighed, he took out a flute and used a handkerchief to wipe it.

This short flute was the one Qu Ci asked Xiao Er to pass to her before he left.

Xiao Er glanced at the flute.

He was curious.

He had been holding this flute in his hands for some time, but he had never heard her play it.

Qu Ling did not look at him. He put down the handkerchief and placed the flute horizontally next to his lips.

Xiao Er's eyes lit up, waiting patiently.

A moment later …

"Woo — woo — woo — —"

Xiao Er: "..."

What is this?

Qu Ling acted as if he did not hear it, and continued to blow.

Each sound was more ear-piercing than the last, and each sound was more beautiful than the last.

Xiao Er's entire body went "wuwu" bad, his face became distorted from the pain.

However, he couldn't leave, nor could he stop them. He could only endure this inhumane torment.

After an unknown amount of time, the tune of the flute suddenly changed. The frightening wuwu sound disappeared, and a melodious melody came from the flute.

Xiao Er secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and silently rubbed his ears that were hurting from the abuse.

Although the music was normal, it was actually quite pleasant to listen to.

Halfway through the song, a scream suddenly came from outside the house, almost piercing the quiet night sky.

Xiao Er suddenly regained his senses, turned around vigilantly and looked towards the direction of the voice.

He didn't know what was going on outside, but one scream followed another. The noise outside the yard was getting louder and louder.

The sound of the flute continued, and it took him a lot of effort to hear what the guards were shouting.

"What is this?"

"Oh god, it's bugs! Why are there so many bugs!"

"What is that, snake? Why are there so many snakes here?! "

"Not just snakes, but spiders as well... What exactly happened!? "

Xiao Er's heart skipped a beat, he suddenly turned and looked at Qu Ling who was squinting his eyes, as though he was immersed in the sound of his own flute.

During the Miao Boundary, he had seen Qu Ci use the Insect Controlling Technique.

Now that all those things suddenly appeared outside, he naturally thought of Qu Ling who was playing the flute.

Logic told him that he should stop her, but looking at how the matriarch was so engrossed in it that she couldn't free herself …

Honestly speaking, he didn't dare to step forward to stop them.

In case he displeased her, those bugs would come and greet him … Just the thought of it made his hair stand on end.

The activity outside the courtyard did not stop.

Deep into the night, the screams could not be heard, and Xiao Jingyue who was working in the study room was quickly alarmed.
