He went straight back to his room.
Since he had nothing to do in the afternoon, he read a book in the room for a while.
After reading a few pages, he suddenly remembered Xie Jingyi's strange behavior, frowned, and got up to leave the room.
Standing under the eaves, looking at Rong Qingqing's tightly closed door across the way, a sense of worry swept through my heart.
Xie Jingyi suddenly told him that Rong Qingqing had invited him to her room, which was obviously suspicious. If he went in, there might be a trap waiting for him.
What kind of traps might a man set when he enters a woman's house? It's always the same few things.
Thinking of this, a shadow crossed his brow, and he said to Changlin, "Go and find Xiaotao."
"Yes." Changlin turned and left.
A moment later, Xiao Tao followed him and hurried over.
Looking at the tall, imposing man under the eaves, Xiao Tao lowered her head and asked tremblingly, "What are your orders, Lord Marquis?"
"Is your young lady inside?" Xie Jingrun asked in a deep voice.
"Yes, Miss went to rest in her room after her meal," Xiao Tao replied.
Just as Xie Jingrun was about to say something, he suddenly heard a strange sound.
The sound was strange and not loud; if he hadn't possessed profound inner strength and was deliberately trying to listen, he wouldn't have been able to hear it at all.
Changlin and Xiaotao didn't hear it.
"She's been sleeping for so long, it's time for her to get up. Go in and wake her up, I have something to say to her," Xie Jingrun ordered with a stern face.
Although Xiao Tao felt that he was somewhat cold-hearted, she dared not neglect his instructions. She quickly responded and turned to go to Rong Qingqing's room across the street.
"Miss, are you up?" she knocked on the door and called out from outside.
However, no sound came from inside the house.
She pressed her ear against the door and listened for a while, then suddenly blushed and froze.
Miss, Miss, she...
Xie Jingrun, standing behind her, naturally heard it as well. His brows furrowed, and he instructed Xiao Tao, "Open the door and go in."
Xiao Tao jolted back to her senses, feeling flustered. However, she didn't know what was going on in the room and felt she should cover for her mistress. So, she tried to remain calm and said, "My lord, why don't you go back first? I'll go into the room and wake my mistress up, and then she can come to you."
Xie Jingrun glanced at her and could tell that she was intentionally protecting her master.
If it weren't for what Xie Jingyi had said to him earlier, which made him feel that something was amiss, he wouldn't have bothered with it.
Thinking of Xie Jingyi's usual dislike for Rong Qingqing, coupled with Xie Jingyi's strange behavior today, his expression changed, and he suddenly kicked open the door and rushed in.
Xiao Tao was startled upon seeing this and hurriedly followed him inside, trying to stop him, "My lord..."
When Xie Jingrun saw Rong Qingqing lying on the bed in the room, her clothes disheveled and covered in sweat, he was stunned for a moment. He quickly turned around, a vein throbbing on his forehead, and said, "Shameless!" before walking out.
He originally thought that Xie Jingyi's sudden impersonation of Rong Qingqing's words to lure him in was likely because she had arranged for another man in the house to ruin Rong Qingqing's reputation, which was why he rushed in.
But the second person he expected wasn't in the room; instead, it was Rong Qingqing...
She seemed to be having a wet dream.
Thinking of this, his handsome face flushed red, and he felt very uncomfortable.
Xiao Tao was also stunned for a moment. After regaining her senses, she rushed to the bedside, pulled the blanket over her young mistress, and nudged her arm, "Miss, please wake up..."
