Chapter 287 Isn’t It Just a Cat?

Although Xiang Minghou had seen it once, he was still shocked. It was indeed good-looking. The one he remembered back then was not as fat as the one in front of him.

“Puff… cough cough…”

Ye Qianning was drinking soup when his eyes accidentally caught sight of the so-called Bai Ling, and he choked and coughed repeatedly.

Xiang Minghou quickly put the cage down and patted her back with his big hand: "Slow down, no one is trying to snatch it from you."

"Ahem... Dad, is this Bai Ling?" Ye Qianning breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yes, Bai Ling has a pair of blue eyes that contain the colors of heaven and earth, there is no doubt about it." Xiang Minghou gave a high evaluation.

“…”

No matter how Ye Qianning looked at it, he felt that the thing in front of him was a long-haired cat, and a kind of modern rag doll. The one in front of him looked very beautiful and cute.

It can be called a top-notch product. Its small face and good looks would cost around 100,000 yuan in modern times.

This cat is not only good-looking, but also has a great body, is very fat, and is so furry that you will fall in love with it at first sight.

Bai Ling stood up, bent her waist, stretched out her front paws and then her hind paws, shook off the fur all over her body, and sat down, her blue eyes scanning around.

"Wow, it's so beautiful." The housekeeper was surprised.

Xiang Minghou also stared at it carefully.

"A bunch of ugly freaks, all peeping at the beauty of this princess, toads."

“…”

The first time Ye Qianning saw her, he knew that she was very arrogant in nature, but he didn't expect that she seemed even more arrogant than he had imagined.

"General, look, this thing is looking at me." The butler was very excited.

"Shriveled eggplant spirit." Bai Ling cursed and shifted her gaze, sweeping past Xiang Minghou and landing on Ye Qianning, her blue eyes still.

Ye Qianning sat down and continued eating. What was so special about a stuffed doll? It was such an unnecessary fuss.

"This one looks just fine." Bai Ling tilted her head and meowed.

The voice is so sweet and soft, it touches people's hearts.

The housekeeper treasured it very much and dared not touch it even though he knew it was precious.

"It really lives up to its name, its calls are so beautiful." Xiang Minghou doesn't like animals, but he couldn't help but admire them when he heard their calls.

"...That's it, Dad, don't look at it, the food is getting cold." No matter how nice the sound is, it is still a cat's meow.

Cats are very cunning. Don’t be fooled by their whimpering sounds. They either want to eat or are cursing.

"It looks pretty good, don't you like it?" Xiang Minghou sat down at the table.

"I don't like it. I'll have someone send it back later. I don't want to keep it." You can tell at a glance that it is a difficult one to please. Ragdolls are extremely picky about food and are prone to stomach upset if they don't eat well.

She doesn't have time to take good care of it.

"I heard that Gu Shuo nearly lost his life during his trip to Yuzhou. Even though it was dangerous there, he still remembered to bring you a gift. It's thoughtful of him. Please accept it." Xiang Minghou said.

"Huh? Why is Dad talking about love to him again?" Ye Qianning tilted his head suspiciously.

"I just think this little thing is innocent." Xiang Minghou knew Gu Shuo very well. If Fatty sent Bai Ling back, this little thing might lose its life.

Ye Qianning thought of what Gu Shuo said to Nian Yunjian, and immediately understood what his father meant.

She didn't want it, and she would never take back anything that Gu Shuo gave her.

"Then let the aunts raise it."

"Well, let's not do that."

"how?"

"Your aunt Liu is not listed in the family tree and is still a free person. Dad can't delay her like this. I have already bought her real estate and land and let her go out of the house. As for the concubine in the backyard, she has refused to leave so far and has been making trouble these days. How can she have the mind to take care of Bai Ling?" Marquis Xiang Ming was really having a headache.

Ye Qianning knew that the concubines were all good people, and of course the general's mansion could accommodate them. However, he didn't know why they were hiding in the backyard of the general's mansion when they were in their prime and were all beauties.

"Dad, do the aunts have any enemies?"

Upon hearing this, Xiang Minghou lowered his eyes and thought carefully, then shook his head: "My life experience is very clean, and I have not found any enemies."

"Since the concubines don't want to leave, father, don't make it difficult for them. The concubines usually don't go out of the main gate or the second gate. Even in the mansion, they rarely leave the yard. Just let them stay."

If he is willing to hide in the backyard, he must be hiding from someone.

Marquis Xiang Ming sighed helplessly. They were all smart people. Fortunately, they never caused trouble when they entered the mansion, were not competitive, and were very nice to Fatty.

Otherwise he would have thrown them out one by one.

"General, Miss, Dean Chen is here." The servant reported.

"Please come in." Xiang Minghou stood up.

Ye Qianning was also delighted and jumped off the chair.

After a while, the servant led Dean Chen into the hall.

"Dean, please take a seat." He bowed to Marquis Ming.

"We are not outsiders, there is no need to be so polite." Dean Chen said with a smile.

"Master, why are you here?" Ye Qianning ran over happily.

"I came to see you when I knew you were back home." Dean Chen stroked his beard with a smile. He felt that the little girl had gained some weight after not seeing her for a few days.

"Master, please stay here now. After the emperor's birthday banquet, let's go back to the academy together, okay?" Ye Qianning pulled him to sit down.

"Haha, Master hasn't even said it yet, but you've already guessed it." Dean Chen also thought so, turning around and saying, "I'll have to bother the General's Mansion for a few days."

"What are you talking about, Dean? It is a great honor for us to have you come to the General's Mansion."

"I didn't expect that you could speak official language." Dean Chen joked.

"Dean, please stop laughing at me."

"That old immortal is as tall as an old ginseng." Bai Linglan's dark eyes swept over.

Ye Qianning couldn't help but glare at her.

"Meow~" Bai Ling noticed the little kid staring at it, and blinked his eyes. "The little kid's eyes are quite sharp."

Dean Chen heard the cry and found the cage. Bai Rongrong: "Hey, this is Bai Ling."

"It's just a cat."

"No, this is Bai Ling. It sounds like a cat but it is not a cat. I heard that Bai Ling is the guardian spirit of the mountains. It is not easy to catch it. Where did it come from?" Dean Chen reached out to touch it.

Bai Ling shrank her head back with a look of disgust.

"Boss Gu gave it to me." Ye Qianning said.

Dean Chen tactfully withdrew his hand: "The Gu family is truly generous. This thing is full of treasures, but it must be hidden well, lest someone with ulterior motives grab it."

"What kind of treasure is it?" Ye Qianning was puzzled.

"The heart, liver, and eyes are all very beneficial to health. It's also said that eating Bai Ling's heart can cure all diseases."

“…”

Cure all diseases?

I thought it was Tang Monk's meat.

Ye Qianning couldn't help but squat down and look at it carefully. He stroked its hair with his little hand. It looked too much like a Ragdoll cat, but when you look closely, you can see that its mouth is a little different.

There is a gap between the cat's mouth and nose, but Bai Ling doesn't have one, and her nose is round.

"You little bitch, since you've eaten so much and gained so much weight, I'll allow you to touch me." Bai Ling lay in the cage, staring at her with blue eyes and meowing.

From the outside, she is just trying to please and be cute.

"It seems like the little thing gets along well with you." Dean Chen didn't even touch it just now.

Ye Qianning stroked it twice and withdrew his hand when Bai Ling was enjoying it: "It's just a fat cat. If Master likes it, I'll give it to him."
