Qingyin got up with a howl and started yawning.

Blame it on last night,

I really shouldn't have been so complacent after beating Luo Jingxuan. I stayed up late at night.

Qiu Shuang was serving beside her, and she was particularly quiet today.

Under normal circumstances, she would have been unable to resist asking about the backstory of the sketchbook, and would have asked Qingyin when she would start writing.

Today I don’t dare to ask, I don’t dare to ask…

After Qingyin finished packing, she realized that things were a little quieter today. She couldn't help but look at Qiu Shuang and asked, "Did anything happen today?"

Qiu Shuang shook her head subconsciously, and then she thought of something and said, "Two guests came today, and the master is meeting them in the front hall now."

I don’t know if this counts as a thing…

Qingyin said "Oh" and then nothing else happened.

At this time, in the front hall.

Luo Jingxuan was startled at first when he saw the two uninvited guests, but he quickly recovered. He bowed to Yun Yin as a junior, "Uncle Yun, why are you here?"

Zi Ling pouted in dissatisfaction, "Yun..."

As soon as he said that, he received Luo Jingxuan's cold gaze, and he was so scared that he immediately changed his words and said, "Brother Luo."

I didn't dare to mention the words of blame I had just said.

Yun Yin looked Luo Jingxuan up and down, and finally patted his shoulder with satisfaction, "Not bad, not bad. After five years, you seem to be even more imposing."

If they hadn't heard that the emperor had passed away, they might have hidden for some time.

Now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, it is the opportunity for their Yun family to rise.

Thinking of this, Yunyin's heart felt like it was burning with excitement.

Luo Jingxuan said, "The overall situation is still undecided. We still need to be patient for a while. Since Uncle Yun is here, why not stay here?"

Zi Ling noticed that Luo Jingxuan hadn't even mentioned her, and she said unhappily, "Brother Luo, what about me? I came all the way from Butterfly Valley to find you, and you're so cold to me?"

Luo Jingxuan didn't reply, but said to Wang next to him: "Go down and make arrangements."

After saying this, he bowed to Yun Yin and said, "Uncle Yun, I still have some things to deal with, so I'll take my leave now. You've been traveling so long, so take a rest first."

Yunyin nodded.

Yun Yin had long been accustomed to his nephew's cold and aloof nature, so as soon as Luo Jingxuan left, he said to Zi Ling, "Let's go."

Zi Ling watched Luo Jingxuan's back disappear from her sight, and had to reluctantly look away.

Before leaving the valley, her mother told her to win over Brother Yun's heart.

He also said that Brother Yun is grown up now and will not ignore women like he did when he was a child.

As long as she works harder, she will definitely be able to capture his heart.

Before she met Brother Yun, she believed what her mother said.

But now that she had seen him, she was no longer sure.

Brother Yun was clearly still like he was when they were little, completely ignoring her.

But Brother Yun is still as handsome as before.

Thinking of this, she felt that it would be better if Brother Yun had a colder personality, so that other beautiful women would not be able to get close to her.

Zi Ling had just prepared herself mentally, but when she passed by Luo Jingxuan's yard and bumped into someone coming towards her, she lost her composure again.

"You, you, you..." Zi Ling pointed at Qingyin in disbelief.

She had just specifically asked Wang Yi which courtyard Brother Yun was from.

So, after returning to her yard and tidying up, she couldn't wait to go out for a walk.

Unexpectedly, he saw a woman walking out of his yard.

Although she was a virgin, she was obviously dressed like a woman, and there was a maid following her.

Thinking of the rumors she had heard in the capital, she looked Qingyin up and down, cursed her in her heart, and then said angrily: "Are you Brother Luo's concubine who is so widely rumored outside?"

Qingyin also looked back at Ziling, imitating her gaze and looking her up and down, and replied: "Yeah."

Zi Ling: "..."

She didn't expect that this man would admit it so straightforwardly.

Aren’t people outside ashamed to be someone’s mistress?

This guy seems quite proud.

right!

That's right.

It's pride.

Zi Ling's eyes instantly blazed with fire as she cursed, "You have no sense of shame!"

Before Qingyin could speak, Qiu Shuang responded, "You are so rude, young lady. You come to someone's house and criticize the host for no reason. In my opinion, you are the one who doesn't know etiquette."

As soon as the voice fell, Qiu Shuang suddenly screamed, "Itchy, so itchy..."

Seeing Qiu Shuang's face suddenly become red and swollen, as if she had a rash, Qingyin said anxiously: "Qiushuang, don't scratch it..."

Zi Ling snorted coldly, "How dare a maid lecture me."

Qingyin suddenly looked at her directly, "You poisoned me? Hurry and get the antidote!"

Zi Ling crossed her arms and said, "Antidote? If you can kneel down and beg me, maybe I'll give it to you once I'm in a better mood."

Qiu Shuang was tortured by the piercing itch and could not bear it at all. Without thinking, she knelt down and said, "Please, give me the antidote."

Zi Ling curled her lips, "I'm talking about you, what's wrong? You're not willing to kneel down to me for a maid? As far as I know, the status of a concubine is no higher than that of a slave."

What I mean is, I'm just a slave and can't even kneel down.

Wang Yiyi came across this scene and without thinking too much, he asked: "What's going on?"

Qingyin glanced at him and said coldly, "You're here just in time. This girl asked me to kneel to her. Do you think I should kneel?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Yi almost knelt down.

What is going on?

From the moment he saw Zi Ling, he had a bad feeling in his heart.

I didn't expect that he actually guessed it.

It's really for the master.

Now he is facing off against the Ninth Princess.

He suddenly realized how miserable his life was!

Why did you hit me?

Seeing him like this, Qingyin guessed that this girl's identity was probably not simple. Besides, now was not the time to deal with this matter. She said: "She poisoned Qiu Shuang, ask her to take out the antidote."

Wang Yi then noticed Qiu Shuang's face, his heart sinking. He then bowed to Zi Ling and said, "Miss Zi Ling, I hope you can take out the antidote. The master does not like anyone poisoning his mansion."

Seeing that Wang Yi was actually on their side, Zi Ling couldn't help but say angrily, "Wang Yi, are you using Brother Luo to pressure me?"

Wang Yi said calmly, "If Miss Zi Ling doesn't have the antidote, then I'll have no choice but to ask the master to summon your master back to the capital."

Hearing the master's name, Zi Ling had no choice but to take out the antidote even if she was reluctant.

Looking at the bottle without instructions, Qingyin frowned, "How do I use this?"

Zi Ling wanted to fool around, but seeing Wang Yi staring at her intently, she could only say reluctantly, "Just eat one."

Qingyin immediately poured out a pill and handed it to Qiu Shuang. After taking the medicine, she felt the itchiness on her body had obviously subsided.

However, the rash on her face had not completely subsided. Qingyin frowned, "What about this face?"

Zi Ling said nonchalantly, "Wait three to five days and it will naturally retreat."
