Lu Qianyun, who was lying on the sickbed, finally smiled after seeing Zhang Junyan.
"Yan 'er, Yan' er." Lu Qianyun hugged her child and muttered his name.
"Mother, are you alright?" Zhang Junyan was very anxious about her health. When he heard that she was sick, he rushed back overnight.
Ping Shu, who was serving at the side, also felt much more at ease. He smiled and said,"As long as Madam sees Young Master, she will definitely recover immediately. In less than three days, she will definitely return to her former lively appearance.”
"Yan 'er, why don't I see your father?" Lu Qianyun asked.
Zhang Junyan shrugged and smiled." Father is probably still angry at me for disobeying him, so he avoided meeting me!”
"No matter what, you're father and son. Why are you still throwing a tantrum? Go see him later and apologize to him.”
"Alright." Zhang Junyan nodded and said to Luo Qi,"Stay here and help take care of my mother.”
Uh, Jun Yan suddenly said this and did not discuss it with her before. Luo Qi was slightly stunned.
After he and Ping Shu left, only she and Madam were left in the room.
Luo Qi picked up the bowl of medicine on the table and said carefully,
"Madam, the medicine is almost cold. Please drink it!”
Lu Qianyun glanced at her! This person's every frown and smile was enough to affect her child.
"Actually, you don't have to stay and serve me just because of Junyan's words.”His words were cold and distant.
"But the young master has orders…"
"Don't bother with his orders!" Lu Qianyun waved her hand impatiently." Mother and son are connected!" Do you think I don't know what he's thinking? He asked you to please me, hoping that I would accept you one day.”
Zhang Junyan indeed hoped that they could spend more time together, and also hoped that Luo Qi could get the recognition of her family as soon as possible.
Luo Qi, who did not know how to respond, could only stand there blankly and let herself be slaughtered.
"Did you guys have a good time these few days? For you, Jun Yan actually disobeyed us at all costs.”
All of this was due to the sadness of a mother. Luo Qi understood, but she couldn't help but panic." I didn't instigate Young Master, and Young Master didn't do it on purpose. We…we just…"
"But what?" Lu Qianyun sighed helplessly," People say that a grown woman can't be kept. Isn't it the same for a man? With someone you like, you won't have to worry about us anymore.”
"Madam, please don't say that. Young Master actually still misses you very much…"
"You don't have to persuade me!" Lu Qian Yun said to Luo Qi," Although Jun Yan's heart is on you, we are people with status. Regardless of background or status, you are actually not very compatible. If Jun Yan wants to take you as a concubine, I can still turn a blind eye. But I hope you understand that this is all we can do."”
Luo Qi was speechless. Although she had predicted this situation, when she faced it, she felt like she was about to faint.
"You can go now!" This was the second time Lu Qianyun had asked her to leave.
"No." Luo Qi somehow found the courage to reject him.
"I won't be fawned on by you. There's no need to waste your energy here.”
These words made Luo Qi feel deeply humiliated, but she did not show any signs of weakness. Instead, she pretended to be relaxed." Taking care of Madam is what I should do. I never think it's a waste of effort.”
Lu Qianyun glanced at this seemingly delicate woman and deliberately said,""Xuefei will come to greet me later. Aren't you afraid to see her?”
Of course, he was afraid, but he felt more ashamed.
Luo Qi could only say,"We'll meet sooner or later!" Why should he spend so much effort doing these things that he couldn't avoid?”
Ha, you're quite brave! Lu Qianyun didn't say anything else but drank the medicine.
That night, the weather was not good.
After nightfall, it was time for everyone to fall asleep. Luo Qi was also about to return to her room.
The dark sky suddenly lit up, and then with a loud rumble, a terrifying bolt of lightning was right in front of her. Luo Qi was frightened and retreated, snuggling into a thick chest.
"Young Master." She didn't need to turn around. This warm body was extremely familiar to her. As long as she leaned against it, she would immediately be able to call out her master's name.
Knowing that this kind of night made her the most sad, Zhang Junyan specially left his work to stay by her side.
Zhang Junyan pulled her to the side of the corridor and said with a hint of blame,""It's raining! Why are you still standing outside? You're all wet." He lifted her small and pointed chin, stretched out his sleeve, and helped her wipe the water droplets on her forehead and face.
Luo Qi's chest was filled with indescribable emotions. When she thought of the pair of mud dolls in the afternoon, she couldn't help but have a tear drop in the corner of her eye. When it slid down, it was gently wiped away by Zhang Junyan like a raindrop.
"It's getting late. Go to your room and sleep!”
Luo Qi shook her head gently." No, I can't sleep. I'll let my imagination run wild if I lie in bed.”
"Don't think too much about the sad past!”
Luo Qi did not dare to answer and avoided his gaze.
How could she tell him that other than her parents, she would also begin to fantasize about the possibility of living with him?
Seeing that she did not answer, Zhang Junyan smiled." Alright then! I'll risk my life to accompany you."
"I don't want to." Luo Qi didn't dare to look at him and just refused.
"You don't want it?" Zhang Junyan raised his eyebrows. This uncute girl was acting up again. Fortunately, he, Zhang Junyan, became more and more courageous as he went through setbacks. He never gave up easily, so he immediately asked further,"It's so late and you have nowhere to go. What are you doing standing here alone? Look at the moon!"
Luo Qi could not care less and quickly admitted,"That's right! It's quite good to look at the moon alone."
As soon as she said that, she felt that something was wrong. She looked up and saw Zhang Junyan smiling in high spirits.
"Who are you bluffing? How can we see the moon in this weather?" Zhang Junyan didn't let her say anything. He hugged her slender waist and sat on the ground. He leaned against the paper door and said,"We can't sleep anyway. Why don't we watch the rain together?”
Watch the rain together?
Luo Qi's heart was filled with sweetness.
On such a night, how foolish people were!
Thus, she no longer refused and just sat beside the young master. The two of them watched the rain fall diagonally, changing directions with the wind. Taking a deep breath in such air, they could also inhale a lot of the smell of rain.
The weather was slightly cold. Zhang Junyan took off his coat and wrapped half of it around Luo Qi's body.
"It won't be cold like this!"
Luo Qi smiled blissfully and didn't say anything.
Fortunately, there was no one around. Otherwise, the master and servant would not be able to be together so freely.
After all, in such a dark night, there were only the two of them leaning against each other in the cold corridor, covering the young master's robe together and watching the torrential rain together. In the silence, it was as if the two of them were the only ones in the entire world.
Another bolt of lightning struck down.
Zhang Junyan smiled. "You! You must have done something. Otherwise, why would Thunderlord Elder want to strike you?”
"How did you know it was going to strike me?”Luo Qi retorted,"Maybe it's going to strike you!" It's just that I'm unlucky. I happen to be near you.”
"Maybe the lightning is trying to strike us." Zhang Junyan's deep eyes were smiling, and he tightened his grip on Luo Qi.
God must be punishing their relationship! That was why the lightning struck them one after another.
"If we were to be struck to death by lightning and our bodies were found tomorrow, I don't know how bad the story would be.”
" Hehehe…" Zhang Junyan laughed very happily." Everyone will definitely say that the two of us are having an affair.”
Luo Qi was so angry that her face turned red." Why? Is this funny?”
When her eyes that were filled with anger met his confident smile, she immediately lost without a fight. She stared blankly at his happy appearance.
"It's quite funny." Zhang Junyan's smile stopped, and deep affection settled in his eyes." I often think that if only I had met you earlier, things would have been simpler because I would have married you regardless of everything!”
Luo Qi was stunned and no longer answered. She nestled in his arms and looked at the brilliant scene outside illuminated by the lightning.
The warm embrace made her heart gradually relax. As the rain became heavier, she forgot herself and muttered,"I really want to see the world in your arms.”
"What did you say?" Zhang Junyan couldn't hide his ecstasy. He wanted to hear it more clearly.
However, Luo Qi refused to repeat it no matter what. She just snuggled into his arms and hid her uncomfortable expression.
Zhang Junyan hugged the person in his arms tightly. The uneasiness that had been hanging for a long time was finally put down. It would be a lie to say that he wasn't sad during these days of being rejected by Qi 'er. Fortunately, Qi' er's heart was soft enough. Otherwise, this endless wait would really make people anxious and eager.
"Are you cold? I'll send you back to your room."
Zhang Junyan's thoughtful thoughts warmed Luo Qi's heart. She nodded slightly and the two of them leaned against each other as they returned to her boudoir.
As soon as he entered the room, Zhang Junyan took a glance and said,"This room is too small. I'll send someone to clean up a room later so that you can move in.”
"No need." Luo Qi hurriedly declined," This place is much bigger than the servant's room that I originally lived in. Young Master, you don't have to worry about it anymore.”
"Why do you say that?" Zhang Junyan's tone was reproachful.
"Qi 'er is just a servant girl. Young Master already cares for me very much. If you still want to arrange other things for me, I'm afraid that others will gossip.”
She would still be afraid of other people's judgment and say that she had stolen her love…”Zhang Junyan looked at her.
Of course, Luo Qi knew that these days, the Young Master's efforts towards her had attracted the attention of everyone. Many rumors had already filled the entire Yingxi Manor. As long as the Young Master treated her sincerely, it was enough. She also had to take into account his and the Young Madam's reputation. She could not be too selfish.
Luo Qi's soft hand held Zhang Junyan's big hand and said in a low voice,""Although this place is not big, it is quiet and quiet with few people disturbing it. It is very suitable for recuperation. Moreover, it is enough for me to live alone!”
"But if I'm included, the cottage will be too crowded!”
She looked up in surprise and met Zhang Junyan's shining eyes.
"I've been sleeping in the study for the past few days. The bed there is hard and cold, causing me to toss and turn every night.”
"You can order someone to add a blanket!”Luo Qi quickly interrupted. It was obvious that she was very distressed that Zhang Junyan could not sleep at night.
"Idiot!" Zhang Junyan smiled and gently knocked her head." Are you pretending to be dumb or do you really not understand? Any bed is the same to me. The only difference is that you are beside me.”
Luo Qi was still mulling over these words of love when Zhang Junyan had already hugged her tightly. His strength was so strong that it was as if he could not wait to embed her into his body. His warm breath blew, making her unable to help but think! She might as well melt in his arms.
"I really can't sleep without you. I wanted to come here and hug you a few times, but I was concerned that you had just recovered from a serious illness and needed to recuperate.”Zhang Junyan buried his head in Luo Qi's chest, absorbing the warm and fragrant breath. She also habitually hugged his neck.
In her arms, Zhang Junyan couldn't help but ask evilly,""Do you know which part of your body I like the most?”
Luo Qi tilted her head and thought for a moment, then shyly muttered,"Of course I know! Every time, you especially like to stop in my arms and say sweet nothings. You must really like my breasts.”
That's right!
Zhang Junyan happily grabbed Luo Qi's lips and suddenly sucked in a kiss. She didn't expect Young Master to do this and was stunned for a while. It was only when Young Master left her lips that she realized what had happened just now.
"I really can't sleep well without you. Don't torture me. Get a room for us to sleep together!”
"I'm afraid people will gossip."
"You're my real wife. Let others talk about whatever they want. What's there to be afraid of?”
"You! Your reputation and Miss Xuefei's reputation…"
"She treated you so well, and you're still protecting her?”Zhang Junyan asked his beloved woman curiously.
"You mean! The thing that caused me to fall into the well?"
"Yes."
"Looks like I can't hide anything from you!”Luo Qi smiled and said softly,"Actually, Miss was very good to me. It's all because of you that she became jealous."”
"Me? Jealous?" Zhang Junyan pointed at his nose suspiciously, not understanding what she meant. "Xuefei clearly doesn't like me. Why would she frame you because of me?”
This time, even Luo Qi was confused.
Who said that Miss didn't like Young Master? It was because she loved him too much that she tried her best to marry him!
"What happened?" Luo Qi hurriedly asked until Zhang Junyan told her everything that had happened in the hall. Only then did she understand that Fang Xuefei still hadn't said anything about being molested.
Since Miss insisted on not revealing the matter, she decided not to say anything else. She would keep her mouth shut for Miss!
"Then…what do you plan to do?" Luo Qi asked with concern. Miss Xuefei was already suffering and could not speak. If Young Master could not forgive her, wouldn't she be too pitiful?
"What can we do? I can't divorce her, so it's still like this for the time being.”
"Really? You won't divorce her?" Luo Qi was overjoyed when she heard that, and even her mood soared.
Luo Qi's behavior made Zhang Junyan rather suspicious." What's going on? Why do I feel like you're very happy?”
"I am very happy!" Luo Qi admitted without hesitation," I don't want you to divorce Young Madam. If you do, Young Madam will be very pitiful.”
"What about you?" Zhang Junyan looked at her deeply." She borrowed your virginity. If I hadn't found out about this, wouldn't you have ended up in a very miserable state? She could not marry anyone else, and even if she did, she might not be happy.”
Luo Qi had also thought about it, but when she had decided to help the Fang family, she had already stopped thinking about it.
"Fortunately, things haven't reached that stage yet," she said softly with her head lowered.”
"Yes, yes, it's not that bad!”Zhang Junyan smiled at her and asked softly,""There's still a way to remedy this. I wonder if you're willing to do it?”
" What method?" Luo Qi asked excitedly.
"Marry me, of course!" Zhang Junyan paused for a moment before saying,""Xuefei and I are newlyweds. It will be a while before we take you in as a concubine. I hope you won't mind not having a status for the time being.”
"Of course not." Luo Qi quickly expressed her feelings, but when her bright eyes met Zhang Junyan's treacherous gaze, she immediately regretted it, so she hurriedly changed her words."I haven't agreed to be with you yet.”
"How can you have so many choices?" Zhang Junyan smiled and pinched her pink cheeks." You're already mine! If I don't take responsibility, why would any other man want you?”
When Luo Qi heard that, she was so angry that she wrinkled her nose and made a face. "Why are you like this? You said that no one wants me."
"It's good that no one wants it! I'll take it." Zhang Junyan grabbed Luo Qi's hair and kissed it gently while playing with it.
"But I don't want to…"
"Don't want to what?"
Luo Qi's voice was so low that it was almost inaudible." Although I've always missed Young Master, I've never thought of snatching you away from Young Madam.”
At first, she only wanted to help. Now, if she were to live with the Young Master as if nothing had happened, she would feel very sorry for the Young Miss.
Zhang Junyan's heart ached as he gently hugged this little girl and coaxed her gently,""Xuefei can still get what she wants and become the Young Mistress of Yingxi Manor! I just want to get what I want, to be with you. We can't force us to leave because of her! If that's the case, then I'd rather take you with me to the ends of the world.”
Luo Qi couldn't help but be shocked when she heard this. She hurriedly shook her head and waved her hand as she said loudly,"No!"
"You also think it won't work!" Zhang Junyan hugged her happily and said with a smile,"Then don't be so insistent!"
Luo Qi looked up and said innocently,"Then you can't be too good to me."
"Who would say such a thing?" Zhang Junyan smiled and tapped her pretty nose. The feeling of loving her instantly rose to the highest point.
"Oh, right." He almost forgot to remind her," I will send Ping Shu to be your personal servant. If you need anything, just tell her. Also, you must be wary of others. Remember to be careful of Xuefei and the others. Don't fall into their trap.”
"Miss Xuefei probably won't harm me again.”Until now, she was still unwilling to admit the fact that Miss wanted her dead.
"Whether she will or not, you have to be careful. I don't want to lose you again.”Zhang Junyan's eyes were serious and focused, as if he was talking about something huge.
"Got it." Luo Qi replied sweetly.
Zhang Junyan's affection for Luo Qi had already reached the point where everyone knew. Not only did he find another room for her, but he also promised to sleep with her every night. Everything she ate, wore, and used, the Young Master demanded perfection. He even sent his personal maid to serve her. Although she did not have any status and the people in the villa called her " Miss Qi 'er ", everyone knew that Qi' er had already received all the love and care of the Young Master. The treatment she received was even higher than that of the main wife, Fang Xuefei.
Luo Qi looked at the pile of silk on the table and frowned.
"Miss Qi 'er, these are all specially sent by Young Master to make clothes for you! Look, it's Sichuan brocade. Not only does the material feel particularly delicate, but the pattern and craftsmanship are all so good that there's nothing to be picky about!”Seeing that Qi 'er still didn't have any reaction, Ping Shu couldn't help but urge her even more,"Miss Qi 'er, pick a few and keep them! How about this? If you like them, you can keep them all!”
" No, I…I don't want it." Luo Qi hurriedly rejected.
Ping Shu was stunned by this answer. "Why…Why not? These are all good cloths!"
"Does Young Madam have these cloths?" Luo Qi blinked her large eyes and asked.
"I don't think so." Ping Shu didn't understand why she asked this question and only said,""The Shu brocade was just delivered, and the young master asked me to bring it to make clothes for you.”
"Then! If I let Miss Xuefei choose, she will definitely be very happy.”The more Luo Qi thought about it, the happier she became. She stood up and was about to pick up the cloth.
"There's no need, Miss Qi 'er. You don't have many clothes.”
"Compared to what I used to wear, my clothes are already good enough.”Luo Qi had a satisfied expression on her face. She was sincere and not hypocritical." These Shu brocades are so rare. Miss Xuefei should like them too.”
To be honest, Ping Shu had never been happy about coming to serve Qi 'er. Just think about it, they were both servants, but Qi 'er still had to call her "Sister Ping Shu". Now that their identities had changed, not only did Ping Shu have to be respectful to her, but he also had to accommodate this woman who did not seem to be very smart. As he said this, it made her angry.
"I say, Miss Qi 'er! Save it. You don't have to curry favor with Young Madam. She won't appreciate it.”
"Why do you say that?" Luo Qi replied in surprise. I'm not trying to please you at all!"
"Is that so?" Ping Shu pursed his lips, his expression disapproving.
Luo Qi knew that Ping Shu was not convinced by her, but she did not get angry because of this. Instead, she asked Ping Shu,
"Do you think…with how much Young Master dotes on me, I still need to please anyone?”
The screen book had never thought about this question at all, so it was speechless. After pondering for a moment, it finally shook its head.
Qi 'er's position in the Young Master's heart was very obvious. Although it was not as exaggerated as getting what she wanted, as long as she wanted it, the Young Master would do his best to do it for her. Even Master and Madam sighed when they saw this. They even said that Young Master was too obsessed with her!
" Then... why do you..." Ping Shu gulped and boldly said,""Why are you sticking your hot face to Young Madam's cold butt? That would be…very ugly!"
"I know." Luo Qi smiled helplessly."But if I have to enjoy myself happily, I'll feel as if I'm the one occupying Young Master. I can't do it, and I can't ignore Miss Xuefei's existence.”
Not only did Luo Qi sympathize with Fang Xuefei, but she also understood the pain she was going through. If there was anything she wanted to salvage, it would be the relationship between the three of them.
"Why is it so troublesome?" Ping Shu knew that Qi 'er was kind-hearted, but her head hurt from listening to her. She could only slap her forehead and complain.
"I know that Sister Ping Shu will have a headache if you have to serve a clumsy master like me.”Luo Qi smiled and gave a brilliant smile, looking extremely beautiful and moving.
"Enough, I'm not the Young Master. Leave these seductive tricks to him!”
When Luo Qi heard this, she smiled embarrassedly. It seemed that this trick did not work on the screen book!
Ping Shu picked up the pile of cloth and kept talking,"I know you have a good heart. Tsk, you even went to look for your love rival. Don't blame me for not telling you. It's very easy to suffer losses like this.”
"I know, I know."
He didn't know if Qi 'er really understood or was just perfunctory. In short, her overly optimistic appearance made Ping Shu really worried.
"Let's go to Young Madam's place together!”Ping Shu hugged the heavy cloth tightly and said with difficulty.
"Let me help you." Luo Qi volunteered.
"No need! You're the master and I'm the servant. How can you help me carry things? It would be bad if someone saw it."
"What does it matter?" Luo Qi pouted her cherry lips." I'm used to doing things for a girl. Now that I suddenly need you to serve me, I'm still not used to it! Here, half each."
Without any explanation, she had already hugged half of the Shu brocade with all her might. The two of them chatted and laughed as they walked along the corridor. If it weren't for Luo Qi's gorgeous clothes, one really wouldn't be able to tell that they were master and servant.
Ping Shu was no longer dissatisfied with her kind and pleasant owner who did not put on airs. On the contrary, because Ping Shu had stayed in Yingxi Villa for a long time and had a lot of experience, she could make decisions for Luo Qi on many things, so they had a lot of topics to talk about.
The two of them were still joking when they arrived at Fang Xuefei's room door!
After knocking on the door and entering, Luo Qi felt a little surprised.
She used to come to this room often. This bed was the one she used to sleep on with Jun Yan when she was the Young Madam. It had only been a few days, and he didn't know what had happened. Now, everything looked gray, like dead wood.
In this country that belonged to Fang Xuefei, everything was in a state of desolation and silence. Qi 'er's arrival disrupted the original order.
Luo Qi was like the bright sunlight, bringing a lively atmosphere to this dark room. She was so eye-catching that everything paled in comparison. Even Fang Xuefei, who had always boasted of her beauty, could not compare!
"Don't you know that you're not welcome here?" Juanjuan was anxious to protect her master. When she saw Qi 'er, she immediately became hostile and was on full alert.
" Hey, be reasonable..." Ping Shu had never been so cowardly before. Just as he was about to retort, Luo Qi quickly stopped him.
"I have a few pieces of pretty good Shu brocade. One person can't use so much, so I gave some to Young Madam.”
Not only did Luo Qi not care about Juanjuan being rude to her, but she also generously explained her intentions.
"Shu Brocade?" Fang Xuefei looked up, her face full of disdain." What are you up to? Seeing that my husband is ignoring me, are you here to give me alms?”
Knowing that Fang Xuefei would deliberately make things difficult for her, Luo Qi resisted the urge to cry. After taking a deep breath, she said,"No, Qi 'er didn't mean that. This Shu brocade had a beautiful pattern and was rarely seen in Jinling. It was very suitable for the Young Mistress.”
"Humph!" Fang Xuefei exhaled a breath of air from her nose, her tone filled with contempt. "I've seen many of those things when I was at Hongjing Villa. Only you, with your humble background, would treat them like treasures. With your tolerance, be careful that Jun Yan won't love you for a long time.”
Fang Xuefei's beautiful face was full of bitterness and bitterness while Luo Qi lowered her head, not saying a word.
"You…"
Just as Ping Shu was about to say something, he was stopped by Luo Qi.
"Pingshu, don't be rude."
"I know, but Miss Qi 'er, look at her…"
"What look?" "I'm talking to your master right now. Who are you to interrupt?" Fang Xuefei shouted angrily. Don't think that just because Young Master dotes on you, you're condescending! Why don't you think about it? Your master used to be my servant girl! If you piss me off, how am I going to punish you?”
Frightened by Fang Xuefei, the screen book immediately fell silent, not daring to speak.
Luo Qi also quickly lowered her voice and pleaded for the screen book,"Young Madam, she didn't mean it. Don't blame her. Everything was my fault. If I hadn't done something wrong, things wouldn't have turned out like this.”
Actually, Luo Qi did not do anything wrong. Everyone knew this very well. However, Fang Xuefei would only feel better if she took the blame.
"You're already wrong. Why are you still talking about this?”Fang Xuefei questioned angrily.
"I only hope that Young Madam won't be angry with me and let us become a family and live happily together.”
Fang Xuefei snorted disapprovingly.
"I'm telling the truth." Luo Qi hurriedly expressed her stance." Young Master is your husband, and we used to be like sisters…Uh, what I mean is that if we can form a family and love each other, wouldn't that be the most satisfactory ending?”
"Can you do it?"
Fang Xuefei's question ignited a glimmer of hope in Luo Qi's heart. She hurriedly said,"I can do it. I can do this. I love Jun Yan, and I also like Miss. Believe me, I can do it.”
If Miss Xuefei could let bygones be bygones, then…wouldn't it mean that everything was over? This unprecedented proposal also made Juan Juan and Ping Shu start to imagine a beautiful future for everyone.
The three women were filled with hope as they looked at Fang Xuefei, hoping for her answer.
Hearing Luo Qi blurting out that she loved Zhang Junyan, Fang Xuefei was stunned for a long time.
" Ha…ha…" Fang Xuefei's strange laughter sounded particularly creepy." Before we got married, I always thought that as long as you replaced me and did it without Junyan's knowledge, our marriage would be able to continue. But…I regretted it on the first night. Only now did I realize how difficult it is to maintain a three-person marriage because I get jealous!”
Fang Xuefei heaved a sigh of relief and said sadly,""No one is willing to share their husband with others. You're too naive. Even if I'm willing to sacrifice myself to love Junyan with you, you won't be happy.”
There was a stifling silence.
"Leave, I don't want to see you!" Fang Xuefei shouted loudly, shocking everyone.
Under the tugging of the screen, Luo Qi obediently left with her.
The two of them walked along the long corridor, the half-set sun stretching their shadows to the right, and there was no conversation between them.
After a long time, she heard the sound of someone blowing his nose.
"Crying?" Ping Shu was very busy. Not only did she have to hold the Shu brocade tightly, but she also had to take out a handkerchief and hand it to Luo Qi.
Luo Qi was also very busy. She also had to hold the Shu brocade and take the handkerchief to gently wipe her tears.
"I told you that Young Madam wouldn't appreciate your kindness. Moreover, what she said made sense!”
"I know!" Luo Qi smiled through her tears and said embarrassedly,"Actually, I was already mentally prepared, but I didn't expect that I would still cry. Ah, how stupid!”
"It's good that you know." This made Ping Shu complain,""You made me suffer with you everywhere. I really don't know who I offended.”
"Sister Pingshu, I'm sorry! I'm a little stupid, don't take offense." Luo Qipin acted coquettishly and apologized to the screen book.
He really couldn't do anything to her! "It's my bad luck. Who can I blame?" Ping Shu sighed.”Following such a master really made one nervous and distressed!
The spring was bright. Luo Qi had just returned from playing in the garden. As soon as she entered the door, she saw a cup of dessert on the table.
Luo Qi's saliva was almost dripping to the ground. She quickly ran to the table and opened the lid of the cup. She smiled and said,"Wow!
There's something to eat."
The thick milky white juice was suffused with a greasy light. He stirred it spoon by spoon, watching the bird's nest and lotus seeds rolling between the spoons.
"I didn't expect the screen book to be so fast. I said I wanted to eat, and she immediately prepared it.”
Luo Qi happily scooped up the entire bowl and was about to gulp it down.
At that moment, Ping Shu pushed the door open with osmanthus cake and bumped into Luo Qi's delicious face.
An ominous premonition enveloped him. Ping Shu quickly ran over and knocked over the dessert that almost touched Luo Qi's lips.
The bowl of bird's nest and lotus seed soup fell to the ground instantly, making a terrifying hissing sound on the floor. At the same time, it also emitted a strange white smoke. It was obvious that the poison inside was very powerful, and it could kill one if it touched one's lips.
When the two girls saw this, they hugged each other and trembled in fear. They stepped on the osmanthus cake that had fallen to the ground and smashed it.
"How…how did this happen?”Luo Qi trembled and stuttered.
" Idiot, someone is trying to harm you!" It was the first time that Ping Shu had encountered such a thing, and he was no less shocked than Luo Qi.
After finally calming down, Ping Shu let go of Luo Qi and comforted her while stroking her back,""Fortunately, I came quickly. Otherwise, you would have already gone to the Yellow Springs. What's wrong with you? Why did you eat something so strange? Don't let the King of Hell ask you about it and you won't even know how you died!”
Luo Qi could not help but feel a lingering fear when she thought about how she had just escaped from the gates of hell." I don't have any enmity with them. I really don't know who wants to harm me?”
These words reminded the screen book.
She glanced at Luo Qi from the corner of her eyes and wanted to ask her on the spot, Are you sure you have no enemies? However, he didn't want to hurt her, so he could only swallow the words that were about to come out of his mouth and change the sentence.""Wait for me. I'll go and see if there are any suspicious people nearby.”
After saying that, the screen book quickly circled around the area.
As she had expected, the murderer would still feel guilty, so she stayed close to see if Luo Qi had been harmed. Not long after, the screen book forcefully dragged a person in.
"Sister Juan." Luo Qi did not expect that Ping Shu would pull Juanjuan in and was very surprised.
"What Sister Juan?" "In my opinion, the one who wanted to poison Miss Qi 'er is this audacious brat!"”
Was that so? Luo Qi's heart was filled with doubts.
Juanjuan, on the other hand, was straightforward. She twisted her body forcefully and broke free from the restraint of the screen book. She called out to the two of them unwillingly,"That's right! I was the one who sent the bird's nest lotus seed soup, and I was the one who poisoned it. I'll take responsibility for what I did. So what if I wanted to kill a vixen like you?”
"It's good that you're willing to admit it." Ping Shu was so angry that he tugged at Juan Juan's sleeve and said angrily,""You damned girl, how dare you offend your master and poison him. I'll hand you over to Madam and let the family punish you!”
If anything happened to Qi 'er, Ping Shu would be the first to suffer. However, she thought that the person who would suffer the most would be Young Master!
She pulled and pulled Juan Juan. Juan Juan wanted to resist, but she kept hitting and patting her. The two pretty girls were entangled like this, neither giving in to the other, and it was a mess.
Seeing this chaotic scene, Luo Qi could only call for a pause.
"Wait, wait!"
The two girls stopped at the same time. They were panting heavily, but they didn't forget to glare at each other.
"If we punish her according to the family law, what kind of punishment will Juan Juan receive?”Luo Qi wanted to figure out this problem first before deciding what to do.
Ping Shu snorted." Thirty strokes."”
"Oh!" Luo Qi's brows relaxed as she smiled and said,"Only thirty slaps! Fortunately, it's not too heavy."
An arrogant expression appeared on Ping Shu's face. She gritted her teeth and said sinisterly,"Indeed, this punishment is not too severe. Back then, there was a servant girl who broke the old master's beloved antique. She only hit it ten times and already fainted.”
"Then…how about thirty strikes?" Luo Qi exclaimed.”
Seeing Juanjuan's pale face and trembling hands and feet, Pingshu continued to speak proudly,""If your life is tough enough, you can still keep your life after the fight. At most, you will become a cripple!”
"You…have such a vicious heart!" Juan Juan was so afraid that tears were flashing in her eyes. She no longer spoke as arrogantly as before.
"Are you afraid now?" The screen book was obviously very happy that he had defeated her. "How dare you say that about me! You have framed Miss Qi 'er time and time again. Who is the real villain?”
"It was indeed Young Lady who ordered me to do the last thing, but this poisoning was all my own idea. It has nothing to do with Young Lady Xuefei.”Juan Juan hurriedly drew a clear line between this matter and the young miss. Even if she had to die, she did not want to implicate the young miss.
"Why do you want to harm me?" Luo Qi's innocent eyes looked at Juan Juan, faintly misty.
When she thought of the three of them being like sisters at Hongjing Villa, Juan Juan couldn't help but feel sad. She complained,
"I picked you up from the streets. You're lively and cute, and I like you from the bottom of my heart. Actually, if I had a choice, I wouldn't want to harm you! Who taught Young Master to take the initiative, and you made Young Miss so sad?”
Two streams of tears rolled down Juan Juan's cheeks.
"The last time you kindly brought something over, Miss chased you out. Although she didn't say anything personally, she hid in the quilt and cried a few times. I grew up with Miss. I know that only by getting rid of you will Miss feel better. Perhaps…Young Master will fall in love with Miss again.”
"Is that why you poisoned her?"
Towards Luo Qi's inquiry, Juan Juan did not say anything more and lowered her head in silence.
"Ah!" Luo Qi laughed softly and sighed." If someone dies, this problem can be solved. Wouldn't that be great? Right? Screen book."
"Yes." Ping Shu nodded in agreement and echoed,"Actually, based on my understanding of Young Master, even if Miss Qi 'er dies, Young Master will only wish he was dead. He might even die alone. He's too deeply in love with Miss Qi' er and will never turn to like Young Madam. Juanjuan, you've been a villain for nothing.”
Juanjuan lowered her head, her expression filled with regret.
Luo Qi gently tugged at the long sleeves of the screen book and said with her lips moving,""Pingshu, I think we should just forget about this matter.”
"What is it? Let her go again?" What the hell? How could this be? The screen book couldn't help but scream.
"What does it matter? Anyway, this matter hasn't been publicized yet. Just help me and do another good deed.”
"How can that be? "If the young master finds out, he will skin me alive…" The young master was very worried about Miss Qi 'er. If he found out that he had covered up this matter, Ping Shu couldn't imagine what would happen to him.
"Sigh, if you don't say it, I won't say it. Juanjuan herself won't say it either. How would Junyan know?”Luo Qi generously provided suggestions for Ping Shu's reference.
" But... but..." Ping Shu felt that something wasn't right.
"There's no buts. Juanjuan did this to help Young Madam. Can you let her off this time on account that they helped me before?”As she spoke, Luo Qi already had a coquettish expression.
Her sweet expression and tone finally made Ping Shu experience it. Therefore, she deeply understood why Young Master always spoiled Miss Qi 'er for no reason and couldn't do anything to her!
Ping Shu gave in and sighed." Master has already said so, how can I, as his servant, not listen?”After a slight pause, Ping Shu said worriedly,"But what if she wants to harm you again in the future…"
"Don't worry." Luo Qi immediately continued," At most, I promise you that I won't be greedy in the future. If you didn't personally deliver it, I wouldn't touch it even if you beat me to death!"”
"You're so smart!" Ping Shu rolled his eyes at Luo Qi and felt helpless.
Seeing that the book on the screen had agreed, Luo Qi helped Juanjuan tidy her clothes and smiled lightly,"Alright, it's fine now. You should go back quickly! She didn't want Young Madam to worry if she couldn't find him.”
She didn't look at her again and ran away in confusion.
"Tsk, so rude! You don't even know how to thank me." Ping Shu grumbled unhappily.
"Alright, you." Luo Qi looked at her with a smile and did not forget to instruct her on her work." Clean this place up. Don't let Junyan find out that someone poisoned it. Ah, also, help me bring a plate of snacks. Look, this osmanthus cake has been trampled flat. It's so disgusting!"”
Laughing at the yellow powder on the ground, Luo Qi was delighted.#
