Shi Ling had also managed to control a servant boy and a first-class maid who were serving Huo Xi in his courtyard.
Shi Ling cleverly had someone she had bribed and controlled keep a close eye on her and Huo Xi's movements.
Qingyou's maidservant came to her that day and said that Shi Lingqiao had her brother from her maternal family under her control and was trying to coerce and bribe him.
Qingyou felt that Shi Lingqiao's actions did not seem like she was going to directly drug her, but rather that she was going to deal with both her and Huo Xi.
In order to lure the snake out of its hole, Qingyou had the maid pretend to be bribed.
At the same time, she also invited Huo Tong and Qiao Xinyue to visit a manor in the suburbs, giving Shi Ling time to showcase her talents.
A few days later, Qingyou and Huo Tong, mother and daughter, left the city to visit a manor in the suburbs, planning to stay for a few more days.

Just then, a roe deer appeared not far away.
Qingyou said to Huo Tong and the other person, "You two go chase the deer, I'll go chase the roe deer."
Huo Tong and the other man also saw the roe deer and nodded in agreement, "Great!"
Because they were protected by guards and secret agents, they didn't need to worry about danger.
Qingyou drew her bow and shot an arrow, deliberately missing the mark to scare the roe deer, causing it to flee in the direction she sensed.
She rode quickly after them, but kept shooting off course.
Then the roe deer was forced to rush down the mountain, and the fluctuation of that spiritual power became more and more obvious. Qingyou quickly rode her horse to chase after it.
