A breath of anger blocked Qin Yanshu's chest, and she wanted to tear Qin Yanning's smiling face apart.

Laugh, laugh. When this little bitch loses the baby in her belly and loses Tuoba Ling's favor, she wants to see if she can still laugh so happily.

Qin Yanshu suppressed his anger and said, "Since Sixth Sister already knows that I'm trying to avoid the criticism from those people in the Imperial City, why bother teasing me on purpose? If the Khan knew about this, he'd misunderstand Sixth Sister and that wouldn't be good."

Times have changed. Now seeing Qin Yanshu being so humble in front of him, Qin Yanning just found it funny. Everyone in the palace was bored, so it would be better to keep Qin Yanshu to perform monkey shows for a few days.

Before Qin Yanning could speak, the voices of servants coming from outside the door came. Tuoba Ling strode open the door with a bit of coldness from outside.

Seeing Tuoba Ling leave the court, Qin Yanning showed a sincere smile on his face: "A Ling, my seventh sister was just talking to me about you."

Tuoba Ling's lips curled up into a smile, but he didn't even glance at Qin Yanshu. He handed the cloak he took off to Yuzhu: "What did you say about me? I'll stand outside for a while before going in, so as not to bring you a cold."

Qin Yanning was already accustomed to Tuoba Ling's thoughtfulness. This man seemed careless, but when it came to her affairs, he was more careful than anyone else.

Now that she is pregnant with two children, Tuoba Ling is naturally being extra careful.

Qin Yanshu clenched the handkerchief in her hand when she saw this. In the past, when she was in Dazhang, she had pushed Qin Yanning into the pond to find something for her in the coldest days of winter. Now, Qin Yanning had become so precious that she had to be cautious even with the slightest bit of cold.

Qin Yanshu felt mixed emotions. How could she not know that Qin Yanning was being spoiled because of her favor? But Tuoba Ling just liked the weak and gentle look of this little bitch.

Sensing Qin Yanshu's malicious gaze, Tuoba Ling's brows furrowed slightly. He had just spent over an hour chatting with Qin Chuan, and he had already inquired about Qin Yanshu's past misdeeds from him.

Although he had known for a long time that Qin Yanning had a difficult time in Dazhang and was aware of how much suffering she had endured, Tuoba Ling still found it difficult to control his emotions after hearing about the suffering she had experienced again and seeing one of the culprits standing in front of him.

He walked slowly to Qin Yanning, tried the hot water bottle in her arms, and after making sure the temperature was appropriate, he smiled and held her left hand.

Qin Yanshu looked at Tuoba Ling with her eyes. This man was handsome and had an alluring aura. He was much more attractive than those young men from aristocratic families that she knew in Dazhang.

How could such a powerful man be with the daughter of Qin Yanning, a foot-washing maid? He should marry me and bring all the power of the world into our pockets.

Qin Yanshu interrupted, "I was just telling Sixth Sister about the Khan's wisdom and bravery. If the Khan were born in Dazhang, I wonder how many noble ladies from aristocratic families would be kept awake at night."

Tuoba Ling glared at Qin Yanshu coldly: "Ningning is soft-hearted, so it's fine for her to call you Seventh Sister. But she is the Grand Concubine of my Great Desert. What's the meaning of the Seventh Princess always calling her Sixth Sister?"

Qin Yanshu didn't expect that Tuoba Ling would get angry with her over such a small matter. She was used to bullying Qin Yanning, and she felt wronged when she called her "Sixth Sister". How could she pay attention to anything else?

Qin Yanshu's face was pale and he didn't say a word. Tuoba Ling also didn't say a word until Qin Yanshu leaned over and knelt down towards Qin Yanning. Only then did he react.
