Under the dim yellow light of the candle, Li Ning'er's expression fluctuated between bright and dark.

After a long while, she gently put down the book and said in a light voice, "I understand. You can go now. I will rest."

The servant girl respectfully replied, "Yes."

This servant girl was called Chun Yu, and was originally served by the Caoital Officials's Mistress. She was one of the Mistress' trusted maidservants.

After Qiu Zhu died, the Caoital Officials Mistress sent her to the Minister of War Palace in place of Qiu Zhu to take care of Li Ning'er as a servant girl.

Spring Rain turned off the lights and quietly retreated.

Suddenly, a silvery white light flashed past.

Spring Rain was startled and her face paled. "Young Master?!"

Li Ning'er who had not fallen asleep suddenly opened his eyes when he heard Chun Yu's surprised shout.

Suddenly, he saw Li Chenxuan standing by the bed and pointing the sword at him, he was shocked.

But very quickly, Li Ning'er regained his senses.

After calming down a bit, his gaze shifted from the sharp blade to the person in front of him. He pretended to be calm as he asked, "Husband, what is the meaning of this?"

The light was out, and only the moonlight that leaked through the window could see the man's clothes and the sword reflected in his hand. She couldn't see the expression on his face, but she could feel his anger and his killing intent.

She did not understand how she had offended him to the point that he had entered her bedroom in the middle of the night with a sword in his hand, wanting to kill her.

Chun Yu anxiously followed inside, seeing this scene, she was so scared that her guts were almost broken, and she immediately rushed in front of Li Ning'er to block him.

Because of her quiet personality and the fact that few people ever communicated with each other, she was a bit dumb. She wanted to say something, but she didn't know what to say.

Compared to Spring Rain, Li Ning'er calmed himself down after a short moment of shock. "But did Ning'er do something wrong to piss off my husband?"

Li Chenxuan's eyes seemed to be blazing with fire, and the hotter his body was, the angrier he became at Li Ning'er.

Initially, he felt that something was amiss. He immediately thought about how Li Ning'er had brought him a bowl of soup during dinner and was almost certain that it was Li Ning'er who did it.

He had always disdained such underhanded tactics. In a fit of anger, he immediately grabbed the sword hanging on the wall in his room to use as a 'Evil Repellent' and rushed over.

Now that he heard Li Ning'er's somewhat wronged question, his brain immediately cleared up a bit.

However, now that his mind was clear, the temperature of his body did not decrease but instead increased.

Li Chenxuan knew that something bad was going to happen if he stayed any longer. He looked deeply and deeply into Li Ning'er's eyes, before throwing away the longsword in his hand.

The moment he turned around, Li Ning'er used the weak moonlight to see his face.

His skin was red, his eyebrows were furrowed, and veins could be seen on his forehead. It seemed that he was trying his best to restrain himself.

For some reason, she suddenly had a bad feeling about this.

He didn't have time to think about the details. He got off the bed, put on his shoes and went out.

The temperature of the winter night was shockingly low. The moment Li Ning'er stepped out of the room, his entire body shivered from the cold.

"Miss!" Spring Rain caught up.

Li Ning'er ignored her and jogged to chase after Li Chenxuan.

It wasn't easy for her to chase him to the backyard, but before she could even heave a sigh of relief, she saw an unforgettable scene in her life.

'Puff! 'a loud sound was heard.

After coming out of her bedroom, her husband dove headfirst into the ice lake in the backyard.

When Spring Rain, who had followed, saw this scene, she was so scared that she couldn't even stand straight.

Li Ning'er's eyes stared unwaveringly at the man soaking in the frozen lake, and said coldly: "Call for reinforcements!"

When Li Ning'er repeated himself a second time, Chun Yu finally regained her senses and scrambled towards the front yard.

It should have been a quiet night, but the atmosphere in the Minister of War Palace turned chaotic.

Minister's Wife rushed over upon hearing the news. When he saw his son, whose face was white and lips were purple, he almost cried out.

Li Yun's heart also ached, he turned his head and asked his daughter-in-law: "What's going on?"

Li Ning'er's face was pale, his body stiffened from Li Yun's roar.

Spring Rain, who was waiting at the side, wanted to defend her young mistress, but she knew that she could not interrupt at this time. She could only be anxious.

Seeing Li Ning'er not saying a word, Li Yun was even more displeased, he raised his voice and repeated: "I'm going to ask you, what's going on!"

Li Ning'er looked at the hand under his sleeve, and was about to speak.

"Did you push Xuan'er down?" It's you! "

The Minister's Wife suddenly pounced over and slapped Li Ning'er hard.

"Pa ~ ~"

Li Ning'er's head was hit so hard that it tilted to the side, almost causing him to lose his balance.

"Miss!" Chun Yu was so anxious that her eyes turned red, she could no longer care about the rules, and rushed over to support the swaying Li Ning'er.

Li Yun frowned, although he did not agree with his wife's actions, he did not say anything.

Not long after, the servant brought the doctor over.

Minister's Wife's eyes flashed as he looked at the doctor who was dragged into the room by his husband.

In a moment, his gaze turned cold as he looked at Li Ning'er. He swore under his breath, "Useless trash", and followed him in.

Spring Rain was so angry that her tears were about to fall, but she did not dare say anything to Minister's Wife. She could only anxiously say, "Young miss, this servant will bring you to apply the medicine."

Li Ning'er put down the hand he was covering his face with, and lightly shook his head.

He once again raised his gaze to the tightly shut door in front of him and the scene he saw a moment ago gradually appeared in his mind.

A fact that made her heart go cold was laid out in front of her.

Although she had met with the dirty things in the mansion's backyard before, she had heard some things from others before she left the pavilion.

If she didn't guess wrongly, Li Chenxuan must have been infected by some kind of medicine that made people change their minds.

He couldn't control the medicine, but he didn't want to be controlled by it.

She would rather jump into the frozen lake on this cold winter night than touch her.

After an unknown period of time, the door was pulled open from the inside.

Li Yun came out from inside with an ashen complexion and said in a low voice, "Go back and rest first. Once the city gates open tomorrow morning, you will immediately follow your mother out of the city to find Mrs. Xiao."

This mother, was naturally referring to Li Ning'er's mother-in-law, Minister's Wife.

Li Ning'er heard this and his heart skipped a beat.

To be in such a hurry to find Qu Ling, could it be that Li Chenxuan is …

On the way back, when she thought that Li Chenxuan's condition might not be too good, she did not know whether to be happy or sad.

The Minister of War Mansion was bustling with noise and excitement, while Qu Ling was not at peace either.

It was like a fire in the depths of water.

Qu Ling laid on the bed, her lips red and swollen, her clothes in a mess, revealing a large piece of pale pink skin.

A pair of watery eyes was staring at the man hanging on her body, both angry and angry. She thought that she was' vicious', but she didn't know how seductive her appearance was to the man. It made his heart flutter, and her body heat up even more.

Xiao Jingyue's eyes darkened, his Adam's apple moved a little, and he asked in a hoarse voice: "Could it be that Madam does not want to accept the results of husband's studies?"

Qu Ling was both embarrassed and angry: "I don't want to think about it at all!"

Right now, her body was weak, so if she were to do it again, she would lose her life!

But at that moment, Xiao Jingyue felt that he was about to lose his life.

After all, she was not a woman. No matter how imaginative he was, he could not imagine what kind of pain could cause the person under him to be afraid until now.

It was impossible to force her, but Xiao Jingyue was not willing to let her off so easily.

After a while, she accepted her fate and closed her eyes, holding her delicate hand.

After the meeting came to an end, Xiao Jingyue still remained unresigned and said, "I'll let you off tonight. Once we get back to the General Mansion, we'll take care of you! "

Qu Ling, "..."

She looked at the roof of the tent with dull eyes. Suddenly, she wasn't looking forward to returning to the capital anymore.

After tormenting himself for so long, Qu Ling was also exhausted.

During the latter half of the night, everything was silent.

It wasn't until the early hours of the morning that two uninvited guests came to the inn to break the tranquility.
