Qian Youxue was deeply surprised. Her cheap father always had a clear purpose, so what was his purpose this time?

His precious daughter will soon become the Crown Prince's concubine. A woman as smart as Qian Muxue can become the Crown Prince's concubine sooner or later with just a little bit of trickery. What exactly does he want to do?

"Young Miss, please, please, please save Yuexue! Please!" Aunt Liu said, kowtowing repeatedly on the ground. Blood appeared on her forehead after only a few kowtows.

Qian Youxue noticed that her adoptive father's gaze was fixed on her. To avoid being fooled, she shook off Aunt Liu's hand and went straight into Xueyuan Garden.

"Miss, you're finally back!" Mei'er excitedly approached her mistress.

"Why did you let people in, Sister Mei'er?" Yunhe asked Sister Mei'er, not touching the ground.

Mei'er also looked depressed, glancing at Leng Mo standing not far away, her eyes filled with blame.

Qian Youxue and Yunhe naturally understood what was happening. Therefore, Qian Youxue wouldn't blame Mei'er; it was rare for her sister Mei'er to be experiencing first love, so she naturally wanted to save face.

Yunhe covered her mouth and laughed, and this laugh made Mei'er blush instantly.

"Alright, stop making fun of her. You'll be like that one day sooner or later." Qian Youxue tapped Yunhe's nose.

Yunhe pouted, then stubbornly retorted, "No way! I have my master, that's enough. All men in the world are fickle."

"Don't scare Sister Mei'er with what you're saying." Qian Youxue glared at Yunhe, actually thinking the same thing, but she didn't want to upset Sister Mei'er.

"Master, Yunhe!" Mei'er stamped her feet upon hearing this, her face turning red to her neck.

hehe……

This time, both Yunhe and Qian Youxue laughed. After laughing, Qian Youxue gestured with her lips towards the house.

"Don't worry, Master. The Prince is so cool. He didn't even glance at Miss Yuexue. He just walked in and had Leng Yu slap her across the face, turning her head into a pig's head." Mei'er was also stunned by what she saw. Not only that, the temperature in the room dropped rapidly, making Qian Yuexue shiver all over.

No wonder she was so frightened that she was beaten to a pulp before she could even say a word. After this incident, I'm afraid Qian Yuexue will have to take a detour even if she sees that demon.

She entered the house in a very good mood. The handsome man was quietly sitting at the table reading a book, seemingly unaware of her approach. Leng Xue simply cupped his hands in greeting and then called Leng Yu out as well.

"Actually, you don't need to be in a hurry. We can stay at the Qian residence for a few more days. Anyway, I don't have anything to do when we get back." Xuan Mingye's magnetic voice suddenly rang out, with a touch of gentleness, which sounded very pleasant.

Well……

Qian Youxue did want to stay a few more days, but not with her. She wanted to stay at home by herself for a few days, to keep her grandmother company, and also to take care of her own business. This guy was just getting in the way.

No, I have to find a way to get them back, so they won't be an eyesore here. She can't stand their constant displays of affection; it's just too fake!

"Your Highness, the Thousand Mansion is not as safe as the Prince's Mansion. Staying for one day is fine, but staying for several days might be..." She deliberately left her words unfinished, believing that the demon would understand her meaning.

He understood. How could Xuan Mingye not understand?

This is clearly because they think he's in their way and want him to leave so they can go out and meet someone else in secret. What a nice idea! Keep dreaming!

He smiled slightly, a smile that was captivating, and beckoned directly to Qian Youxue with his finger.

Qian Youxue shuddered as if she'd been electrocuted, exhaled a breath of stale air, and tactfully walked over. However, to avoid being ambushed, she kept a certain distance from the certain demon.

"We're husband and wife, you can't do this!" Xuan Mingye suddenly got up from his chair, pulled her into his arms, and quickly sat back down.

Qian Youxue originally wanted to struggle, but thinking of what happened at noon, she chose to give up and waited impatiently for him to say something.

"If you're worried about the safety of the Qian residence, I can invite Uncle Long over. With him here, no one in the residence will dare to cause trouble," Xuan Mingye whispered intimately in her ear, resting his chin on her shoulder, inhaling her scent, and closing his eyes comfortably.

Qian Youxue felt an urge to hit someone. She hated being watched all the time; it felt like being in prison. Going back after just one night would be too rushed. The main problem was that when she saw her grandmother that morning, she noticed her grandmother's back was severely hunched due to her old ailment. She needed to give her grandmother acupuncture treatment as soon as possible; the first treatment would take at least three days.

Frustrated, she opened her hands, which were wrapped around his, and simply told the truth: "You saw it this morning too. Grandmother's back is very hunched. She has many old ailments. Before, my spiritual power was too low, and I hadn't broken through to the intermediate alchemist level. I'm not very confident about Grandmother's condition."

“So, the main reason I came back this time is to treat your grandmother’s old ailment,” Xuan Mingye continued.

Um!

Qian Youxue nodded, stood up from the man's arms, sat down on the chair next to him, took a sip of tea, and said with a sad expression, "Grandmother was the best person to me in this world. I can't let her suffer any more pain."

Seeing Qian Youxue's sorrowful face, Xuan Mingye believed her. However, something seemed off about what she said.

What does it mean to come into this world?

Wasn't she the child of Lady Qian?

Even after Qian Bowen came along, the Su family might have favored him. But before that, she was still by the Su family's side. So, at this point, the one who treated her best was her grandmother.

"Xuan Mingye, I am not your prisoner. If you want to continue to interact with me in this way, you will regret it one day." Qian Youxue said this and walked out of the house wearily. She planned to go to Yunhe's room to rest for a while, and then go to give her grandmother acupuncture after dinner.

But as soon as he stepped out the door, Yunhe came up to him: "Master, if Aunt Meng continues like this, she'll definitely knock her head out of her head."

Qian Youxue frowned and followed Yunhe to the door to take a look. She saw Aunt Meng covered in blood, and her maid Dongyu was kneeling alone at the door, not following behind. Qian Youxue knew that Dongyu was Aunt Liu's person, but she didn't expect her to be so disrespectful to her mistress, Aunt Meng.

"Young Miss, Young Miss, you've finally come out! Please, please save Yuexue, I'm willing... willing..." Aunt Meng became agitated as she spoke, but swallowed her words when she saw Yunhe.

Qian Youxue was a little curious. Aunt Meng could be said to have nothing. She was just a maidservant by Aunt Liu's side. What kind of exchange could she possibly have that would tempt her?

"Get up, Yunhe, treat the wound on her forehead, it's creepy to look at." She finally softened and raised her hand.
