Hearing this, Lianxing sighed slightly and said, "Yes! The three older sisters used to be the most at odds, but now they can have such a tacit understanding. Just like my brother-in-law said, sometimes the relationship between people is really strange."

Qu Feiyan asked, "Do you know what those three were discussing when they exchanged those glances just now?"

Lianxing said irritably, "If I had known I was involved, would I have needed to secretly speculate with you?"

Faced with Lianxing's answer, Qu Feiyan curled her lips in disdain, then suddenly turned her head to look at Lin Shiyin, her eyes fixed on Lin Shiyin.

"Sister Lin, can you see what I mean in my eyes?"

Hearing Qu Feiyan's words, Lin Shiyin said helplessly, "You have too many thoughts. I'm not a young master, how could I possibly read your thoughts from your eyes?"

Seeing that Lin Shiyin couldn't tell, Qu Feiyan sighed.

"So it really won't work?"

After muttering to herself, Qu Feiyan couldn't help but look at Dongfang Bubai and the other girls. They were all under the same roof and together every day, so why had only Dongfang Bubai and the other two girls developed such a tacit understanding?

In response, Qu Feiyan said, "Lend me money. I lost everything last night and I don't have any money to play mahjong tonight."

Lin Shiyin rolled her eyes, then pointed to Xiao Zhao next to her and said, "Then you'll have to borrow money from Xiao Zhao. I don't have much money left in my pocket right now."

In response to Lin Shiyin's question, Xiao Zhao pulled out two bulging money pouches from her bosom and looked at Qu Feiyan with a naive expression, saying, "Feiyan, do you need to borrow money again? How much?"

Seeing Xiao Zhao pull out the two bulging money pouches, and hearing what Xiao Zhao said, Qu Feiyan opened her mouth and then closed it again.

"I'm quitting gambling tonight."

Even Qu Feiyan and Lianxing, who were standing nearby, could see the exchange of glances between Dongfang Bubai, Yaoyue, and Shuimu Yinji, let alone Chu Qinghe.

Almost immediately, Chu Qinghe guessed what the women meant.

However, he still felt uneasy about handing the Tang Dynasty over to Zhu Yuyan, and planned to keep Wanwan as a hostage by his side.

Qu Feiyan, who was standing next to her, clearly understood what she meant.

She immediately asked in surprise, "Sister Dongfang, are you planning to keep Sister Wanwan by Young Master's side?"

Dongfang Bubai nodded slightly and hummed in agreement.

Chu Qinghe, somewhat speechless, said, "I already said it's unimportant, there's no need to go to this extent."

Upon hearing Chu Qinghe's words, Dongfang Bubai and the other two women knew perfectly well that Chu Qinghe had already guessed what they had confirmed in their exchange of glances.

Dongfang Bubai said frankly, "It's always better to be safe than sorry. Compared to outsiders, our own people are more trustworthy."

Upon hearing the voice, Chu Qinghe fell silent.

Seeing Chu Qinghe's silent demeanor, Shuimu Yinji felt a pang of sadness.

Sometimes you have to admit that luck is indeed a very important thing.

Just like her, who went to great lengths to enter Chu Qinghe's life.

However, because of the threat posed by the Great Xia Dynasty, Dongfang Bubai and Yaoyue were unusually generous and prepared to bring Wanwan into their ranks.

After their discussion, it had become completely dark.

Just as Chu Qinghe and the others finished eating the food brought by the Yin Kui Sect disciples, Wanwan, who had been staying in her room, slowly walked out from the backyard.

After a period of rest, Wanwan's face was no longer as pale as before.

Furthermore, the long dress she was wearing, which was originally stained with blood, had been changed.

After Wanwan sat down, Jellyfish Yin Ji asked, "Is your master alright?"

When asked by the Water Mother Yin Ji, Wanwan shook her head and said, "It just looks like everything is normal, but I'm actually feeling terrible inside."

In response, Jellyfish Yin Ji sighed, "Back in Yang Gong's treasure vault, your master pleaded for Shi Zhixuan the moment it happened, which shows how deeply she loved him. But for Shi Zhixuan, just a few words from Ning Daoqi were enough to make him kill her. All that deep affection was betrayed. Who could feel good about that?"

After sighing, Wanwan turned to Chu Qinghe and said, "Master just said that Shi Zhixuan will come to find you because of the Evil Emperor's Relic. If Shi Zhixuan really comes, you should first cripple him, and then let me kick him a couple of times to vent my anger while he's still breathing."

As she spoke, Wanwan braced her hands on the edge of the stone table, looking furious.

Chu Qinghe shook his head and said, "I guess there's no chance."

Hearing this, Wanwan looked at Chu Qinghe in confusion and asked, "No chance? Why?"

Chu Qinghe said calmly, "In about an incense stick's time, that evil king should die from the poison. Unless you can find Shi Zhixuan's current location now, you probably won't be able to kick him a couple of times while he's still alive."

A moment later, after learning from the jellyfish Yin Ji beside her that Shi Zhixuan had been poisoned by Chu Qinghe in Yang Gong's treasure vault, Wanwan was briefly stunned before giving Chu Qinghe a thumbs up and saying, "Well done."

After praising Chu Qing, Wanwan snorted coldly, "He only died from poisoning, which is too good for that guy. If he had really fallen into my hands, I would have made him pay."

After saying that, Wanwan changed the subject and said, "I'll go tell Master about this," before getting up and quickly moving towards the backyard.

Seeing Wanwan's energetic demeanor, Chu Qinghe glanced at Qu Feiyan.

With Wanwan and Qu Feiyan, two mischievous little devils, living in the courtyard, Chu Qinghe felt that his home would never lack liveliness.
