Chapter 13 Chapter 13 Guessed it right? I have to praise you. ...
However, she still didn't know what that person's temperament was like, where he lived, or whether he could be of any use to her.
But no matter what, she needs a variable, a new possibility right now.
She lowered her eyes and thought to herself.
Be sure to get out of this yard and try your luck.
On the second day, Nan Qiongshuang went to the kitchen and made a bowl of rose, white fungus and lotus seed soup herself and sent it to Gu Zhi's room.
As expected, he was stopped outside the door by the manager, Asong.
"The young master is practicing martial arts under the waterfall. It would be useless for the girl to send it to you. You should keep it for yourself."
"Excuse me, when will Mr. Gu be back?"
Ah Song glanced at her coldly and asked, "Miss, what are you looking for the Young Master for?"
"I just thought that since the Young Master rushed back to save me that day, I should thank him in person."
"It was Qu Shu who saved the girl," Ah Song said. "The Young Master instructed that the girl only needed to focus on detoxifying herself, and nothing else was necessary."
"There's no need for anything else."
His tone was so polite and distant.
She lowered her head and pursed her lips.
After a long moment, he raised his head and asked, "Young Master, why don't you see me...is it because of Senior Sister?"
Ah Song was stunned. Servants like them wouldn't dare interfere in their master's affairs, especially since this woman was currently at the center of public attention within the mountain, with countless people watching her.
He practiced Tai Chi, "Young Master is usually very busy. Not only do he need to improve his own skills, but he also has many things to coordinate. I'm not trying to avoid you, young lady, but I hope you'll be at peace with me."
But she didn't buy it and continued, "If I...if I go to apologize to the eldest sister, can you see me again?"
Asong saw that she had fallen in love with Gu Zhi and was unwilling to give up her deep longing for him, and he felt that this woman really didn't know her own worth.
How many women have fallen in love with the Young Master? Does she think she is special just because the Young Master took pity on her and brought her up the mountain?
He said, "It has nothing to do with Senior Sister Song. The Young Master is simply too busy to leave. Please go back, young lady."
She lowered her head for a long time, then sighed in disappointment.
He left with the bowl in his hand, looking very disappointed.
In fact, it's just acting.
Whether or not she could meet Gu Zhi was not important at all. When she came today, she had not thought that Gu Zhi would meet her.
The important thing is to deliver the message.
Asong is Gu Zhi's close friend. If necessary, Asong will tell Gu Zhi everything she has said to him.
"Alright, the lines are all laid." She smiled and said, "Wu Dao, keep an eye on the trap. Let's go find that person."

He put the bowl of Tremella and Lotus Seed Soup into the house, pushed open the gate, and just as he took a step outside, he was stopped by the guards guarding outside.
"Girls are not allowed to leave the hospital without permission."
Nan Qiong Shuang had anticipated this and timidly bowed. "I heard that I accidentally upset Senior Sister a few days ago. I want to go to her courtyard and apologize to her in person."
"This..." The guard thought for a moment, "I dare not let the young lady go without Master Gu's instructions."
"If anything happens, I will take full responsibility." As he said this, he handed over a signed and sealed note.
Last time, she gave Song Mei and Qi Zhu something like this, and they let her go.
When he took another step, the guards did not stop him.
She was delighted and stepped over the threshold.
If she went out alone, she might get hit by some hidden weapons. If she didn't find some excuse and came back injured, it would be all her own fault.
If she used Song Yaojie's name, it would be different. Although others still wouldn't believe her, at least it wouldn't be her own fault in Gu Zhi's eyes.
Breathing in the fresh mountain breeze, Nan Qiong Shuang raised her eyes and saw only a clear blue sky and lush green forest.
Muxueyuan is different from Shuyuzhai. It is located on a high ground. The sky is right outside the door. The branches of the extremely tall trees at the foot of the mountain are trembling slightly, scratching the sky.
It’s been a long time since I left this yard.
Because of this little freedom, she felt a little better.
At this moment, I suddenly saw a familiar face.
Songmei was holding a box as she climbed the stone steps leading up the mountain to the courtyard, and she showed her head at the end of the steps.
Before Nan Qiong Shuang could respond, the guard guarding the courtyard hurriedly said, "Miss Songmei, Miss Chu is about to go to Shuyuzhai. I can't leave. Miss Songmei, why don't you go with Miss Chu?"
…
Nan Qiongshuang turned around in surprise.
Meeting her surprised gaze, Songmei thought for a moment and nodded.
...At this time, I actually met Song Yaojie's maid.
Nan Qiongshuang lowered her eyes, suppressed the murderous intent that surged up in her several times, and bowed obediently.
"Then I'll have to trouble Miss Songmei."
*
The dense forest was very quiet. It was early morning, and sunlight slanted through the intertwined branches. Birds flapped their wings through the beams, stirring up some luminous dust in the air.
The air is cool and damp, with a hint of grass and wood fragrance.
Nan Qiongshuang and Songmei were walking one after the other on a narrow gravel path in the woods.
Songmei has never liked Nan Qiongshuang, and the two of them have never had anything to say to each other.
Amidst the crisp chirping of birds in the early morning, a voice suddenly appeared. Wu Dao: "We must find a way to get rid of this troublesome woman."
Nan Qiongshuang followed Songmei and closed her eyes irritably.
Of course she knew, otherwise how could she go to meet that person? Would she really go to meet Song Yaojie?
"Miss Chu." Song Mei, feeling distraught, suddenly stopped. Beside her was another narrow dirt road, unpaved, extending into the woods beyond the main road. "This path doesn't have any traps. We'll have fewer worries if we take it this way."
Nan Qiong Shuang took a look and almost couldn't help laughing out loud.
Wu Dao laughed uncontrollably in her ears, letting out a goose-like cry.
Let’s not talk about how suspicious this road looks.
Would someone be so straightforward as to lead people off the main road and onto a less traveled path that leads into a dense forest without paving the way?
Even the reason is so simple, just four words, "worry less."
Didn't she think about it, if there was no mechanism, why should she accompany Song Mei with her temper?
This really takes her for a fool.
Others might not be able to tell the difference between the plan full of loopholes and the poor acting, but someone like Nan Qiong Shuang would know everything at a glance, without even a second glance.
Looking at Songmei's serious eyes, Nan Qiongshuang laughed in her heart and thought, if she didn't respond to this today, I wonder if Songmei would be able to save face?
So she nodded, obediently walked down the main road, and stepped onto the slightly muddy and winding path. She continued, "So there's such a road on this mountain. Thank you for leading the way, otherwise I really wouldn't have known and would have been so nervous."
Songmei smiled, stopped to let her pass first, and followed behind.
As they walked along the path, they were silent as they didn't see the mechanism Songmei had carefully prepared for her.
However, Songmei took the initiative to talk to her at this time.
Perhaps he was afraid that she would become suspicious because of his quietness, so he tried to get closer to her.
Nan Qiong Shuang really felt that her methods were extremely childish, and was almost helpless. She reached out and rubbed her eyebrows.
At this moment, Songmei exclaimed in surprise: "Hey, red leaves!"
Before she could ask, Song Mei said, "Young lady, you may not know this, but there's a legend about these trees on Tianshan Mountain. It's said that if Yue Lao appears, he will produce a red leaf among the millions of leaves, allowing lovers to see it."
"Those who see it are destined to be together. If you pick the leaves, you can be with your beloved forever."
Nan Qiong Shuang understood that the red leaves were a mechanism.
So she walked over on the soft soil and yellow fallen leaves, looked up and looked at the red leaf.
Reach out to pick it.
Didn't take it off.
She turned her head and looked at Songmei suspiciously.
Songmei was also stunned when she saw that she tried to pick the flower but didn't take it off.
He wanted to follow, but the moment he raised his foot, he stopped again.
She didn't dare get close.
Don’t even want to act anymore?
Nan Qiong Shuang smiled, raised her head again, and grabbed the flaming red leaf with both hands, as if there was a flame inside a cluster of snow.
No matter how hard I pulled, I couldn't get it off.
She turned around and asked for help, "Miss Songmei...what's wrong with this leaf..."
Songmei stood still, not daring to act rashly.
Nan Qiongshuang's lips curled up into a smile.
Didn't you want to come here? Now, you can't hide there.
"Miss Songmei, this leaf is so rare, I really can't bear to leave it here. Can you please..."
Song Mei was full of doubts. She looked at Nan Qiong Shuang's anxious and confident face, and then looked at the strange leaf.
Although the Young Master has neglected her recently, it will not be easy to take her life under his nose.
Today, with the right time, place and people, may be the best time.
Maybe it was just a jam. This kind of thing happens all the time.
Songmei thought, could she still be toyed with by a useless guy who has no skills and knows no martial arts and is eager to become the leader?
She walked forward and saw that Nan Qiongshuang had retreated far away, making it impossible for her to reach out and trigger the mechanism. She stood at the foot of the tree and carefully observed the red leaf.
When the wind blew, the branches swayed, and the red leaf shook in the blue sky.
Suddenly, the sunlight condensed into a small light spot of light of light gold, which jumped to the side and pulled out a thin line.
A glowing thread.
It turned out that it was pulled by spider silk.
Song Mei felt relieved and removed the thin silk thread from her hand. "Okay, young lady, you can..."
The light moved, and the spider silk tightened silently.
Songmei was stunned.
In her clear vision, the red leaf was gently pulled down by the spider silk.
She watched the flaming red leaf spin several times and slowly fall to the ground.
At that moment, I suddenly felt something hit my chest, and I fell backwards, and a bright blue sky suddenly appeared in my eyes.
She thought dully, and she seemed to remember that if this leaf fell, something terrible would happen.
Countless shimmering silk threads rustled and converged in the same direction. At the end, the threads converged into a bundle of moonlight. Nan Qiongshuang hummed a little tune, her slender fingers entwined with the silk threads, wrapping around her fingertips like a transparent cocoon.
She walked over slowly, her snow-white skirt winding through the messy leaves on the ground and stopped beside the small pool of blood vomited by Songmei.
Song Mei was filled with hatred, her eyes were filled with resentment that almost spitted venom, and her chest was rising and falling rapidly with unwillingness.
Nan Qiong Shuang lowered her head: "Ah, not dead yet?"
Song Mei gritted her teeth and smiled: "I knew you were not that simple."
Nan Qiong Shuang smiled and said, "Did you guess it right?" She hid all the silk threads in her sleeves and said, "Praise you."
Songmei said nothing, but bit her lips fiercely with her teeth.
After a long pause, she said angrily, "How dare you plot against me...! Do you think you can escape if you kill me? I'm telling you, Senior Sister has long guessed that you're not a good person! It's only a matter of time before we catch you. Do you know the rules for spies in the mountains? You'll be thrown into a water dungeon and fed to crocodiles in the salty soup of the cave! You..."
Nan Qiong Shuang didn't even raise an eyebrow, she stepped on Song Mei's bloody chest and crushed it hard.
"Song Yaojie?"
A small stream of blood gushed out of the wound like a fountain, splashing a few drops on Nan Qiong Shuang's pretty face, making her look even more enchantingly beautiful.
Songmei was in so much pain that she couldn't utter a word.
She smiled gently, her voice soft, "Song Yaojie, she guessed it right? Then... praise her too."
