C158 (1/2)

Qin Xiao sat on that chair all the way until evening, listening to the drizzling rain. She folded her arms. It was a cold autumn rain, and she wasn't talking nonsense. The arrival of Mu Advancing had reminded her of the passage of time. She ordered someone to bring a pot of ginger tea, and conveniently took out the gift from Mu Advancing, and lightly smiled: ”Take a look, then come, and bring what gift.” As he spoke, he reached out his hand to take it, then stuck his neck out to see what was inside. Mu Sheng did not stand on ceremony with her and directly said: ”We will drag Brother Qin and hand him over to Yi Ren.” Qin Xiao kept grinding his teeth, cursing in his heart.

The two of them sat facing each other and chatted until the sun was about to set. Qin Xiaoman rubbed his aching head and directly invited him to have dinner with him. She passed down the gold and ordered her to fry a few dishes. Mu Sheng, who had not eaten much, watched as Qin Xiao Zhu quickly took all the dishes on the plate into his mouth, picked up the biggest pig's paw, and started to nibble on it. He took a few sips of wine, bit off his boots as he sat cross-legged with his mouth full of oil, and entered the state of oblivion. Mu Sheng resisted the urge to eat breakfast yesterday, politely got up and prepared to leave. Qin Xiaoliu looked at his back and suddenly shouted: ”Wait, Brother Mu, brother is going to ask something that is not on the topic.” She swallowed a mouthful of pig's feet and drank a mouthful of wine. She raised her sleeve to wipe it a few times before asking, ”Brother Mu, you and Xue Yi —”

Mu Sheng heaved a long sigh, ”Let's not bring this up. If Brother Qin wants to know, you should just ask Yi Ren.”

Qin Xiao looked at his departing back and spat a few times. This person was pretty good, and her snow clothes were not clear at all. She faintly felt that her big brother's head had a headscarf floating over it, and it was still an emerald green.

That night, she brought the gift that Mu Sheng had sent her to the Dragon Sword Villa. When Xue Yi saw that she was not cold nor indifferent, at this time, she also did not have the mood to inquire about the amorous lawsuit that Mu Yu had brought. He also instructed Qing He to give him some, but not to mention him. After wearing the snow-white robe, he had heard from the servants that Qin Xiao was bullying Qing He and had secretly laughed for the whole day.

As expected, that person wasn't asleep yet. He was lying on the bed with a candle lit by the head of the bed. He was holding a book in one hand and was reading from time to time. He asked without looking up, ”Why are you so late? ”Oh yeah, pour me a cup of water while we're at it. It's salty in the mouth from the cracking of the melon seeds.”

Qin Xiao glanced at him and poured some water into his eyes. He carefully helped him up and personally fed him before saying: ”Manor Lord, why aren't you resting at this late hour?”

”Who knows if you will still come? ”If I come, I'll be woken up by you. Once I'm woken up by someone, I won't be able to sleep well. If I can't sleep well, I'll have dark circles under my eyes tomorrow as if I've been beaten up.”

Qin Xiao didn't know what was going on with this person today. He took off the book in his hand and said earnestly, ”Stop reading, it's not good for your eyes to see the dim light.”

”No, no. I'm practicing Night Vision Technique.” He knew that she would definitely come today. The spies in the manor had always been waiting outside the Ministry of Justice. She was on trial today, and she had a meeting with Mu Sheng, so no matter what the outcome was, she would definitely make a trip back.

”Train a big head!” He moved the candle to the table and sat beside him, ”How's the wound? Are you feeling better? ”
