Chapter 18: Relief

In Qiuxiang Courtyard.

Qiu Ling happily served Cheng Yunshuo dinner.

The lights in the small courtyard were flickering, and Qiu Ling kept telling Cheng Yunshuo about interesting things in the past.

As they chatted, Cheng Yunshuo, who had originally deliberately kept a distance from Qiu Ling, also relaxed.

After all, the weight of old friends in people's hearts is different.

Cheng Yunshuo was so excited that he drove Qiu Ling away at first.

Just before that, he spent ten thousand taels of gold to compete with a group of noble families in Piaoxiangyuan and redeemed Xing Dairong. At that moment, he really wanted to make the whole world his enemy just for her.

Xing Dairong said that they were together for life, and after he returned, he immediately drove Qiu Ling out.

I don't care about anything at all.

Now that Qiu Ling is back with him, their past friendship slowly resurfaces, and he can't help but feel that he was too obsessed with Xing Dairong in the past.

There is no such thing as a permanently hot passion in this world. If you don't face the storms of the world together, the passion will eventually fade away.

"My Lord, would you please stay at my place tonight?" Qiu Ling asked softly.

Cheng Yunshuo responded in a neutral tone, "Yeah."

Qiu Ling couldn't help but show joy between her brows. Just as she was about to pick up some food for Cheng Yunshuo, she heard the sound of okra coming from outside the house.

"My Lord..."

Qiu Kui walked in with her head down, and when she saw Qiu Ling, she lowered her head even more and said in a low voice, "Sister Qiu Ling."

Qiu Ling saw the slap marks on her face and asked, "What happened to your face?"

Cheng Yunshuo then turned his gaze to Qiu Kui's face.

Qiu Kui hurriedly covered her face and said, "It's nothing. I just bumped into it accidentally when I went out."

"Come on! How could a slap mark be left by a collision? Was it the person in your room who hit you?" Qiu Ling identified it at a glance.

Qiu Kui didn't dare to say anything more, "No, no, I was just careless."

"Don't talk to her anymore. We are all on the scene, and we should let the prince know who that person is!"

"Sister Qiu Ling, please stop talking. Miss Xing is also worried when she heard that the prince is not going back again." Qiu Kui covered her face with her hands, looking embarrassed.

Cheng Yunshuo threw down his chopsticks when he heard this, "You want me to go back with this temper!"

"Go back and tell her that I won't be going back! If she dares to embarrass you again, don't even think about me coming back in this lifetime!"

Qiu Ling was delighted again when she heard this.

That night, the prince did not go back and stayed in Qiuxiang Courtyard.

However, the prince still did not sleep with Qiu Ling. He was just angry with Xing Dairong, and the two of them were in a bad mood.

Finally on the third day, Xing Dairong could no longer bear it, and left Yaoguang Pavilion and ran to Qiuxiang Courtyard.

"Cheng Yunshuo!"

Xing Dairong stood outside the gate of Qiuxiangyuan and shouted.

After a while the door opened.

But the only person who came out was Qiu Ling, waving a round fan. "Hey, who's coming?"

"You bitch!" Xing Dairong was so angry when he saw Qiu Ling that his teeth were itching and he was ready to fight with her.

Qiu Ling puffed out her chest and leaned forward, "Hit me, hit me on the face. It will be a good opportunity for the prince to see it clearly."

When Xing Dairong heard this, her arrogance was immediately suppressed. Damn it, this bastard used this kind of trick to harm her last time, and he even wanted to frame her.

Qiu Kui was there to mediate the fight, so she stopped and pointed at Qiu Ling, cursing, "You bastard, you framed me again and again, how can you be so bastard! You bastard! You are such a bastard!"

"Haha, you are such a scumbag that you don't even know it. I can be more scumbag than you. If you can't win, you'll just beat me up. You really think you are the master! Why don't you take a piss and look in the mirror? In the past, the prince doted on you and used you to your advantage. You really think you are a big shot. Everyone in the mansion treats you as a joke!"

Xing Dairong could never scold Qiu Ling, and his chest heaved violently with anger, "How dare you talk to me like that! I want Cheng Yunshuo to kill you!"

"Hey! Go ahead, go ahead. Oh no, I almost forgot to tell you that the prince went out early in the morning. He left so early. It was obvious that he didn't want to see some people who took themselves too seriously! Some people really should think carefully about whether their favor has come to an end!"

"You're talking nonsense! Cheng Yunshuo promised me that he would only have me in his life! He's mine! No matter how much you say, it can't cover up the fact that you stole my man. You're just a slut who stole my man! A slut!"

"Stop going crazy in front of me!" Qiu Ling pushed her away, glaring at her and pointing at her nose and scolding, "You keep saying that the prince is yours. People who don't know would think you are the mistress of the Marquis's Mansion! You are just a bed-climber who is not even a concubine! If you can't see your own identity clearly, I will pee and take a look at you myself!"

Qiu Ling said this and went back to her room to get out her night pot, then poured it out to Xing Dairong.

When Xing Dairong saw this, he quickly dodged.

A fishy smell came from beside her and she was shaking with anger.

Just as he was about to rush up to find Qiu Ling, Qiu Ling slammed the door shut.

"What the hell! You really think you are the mistress of the house, and you dare to show off in my room!"

Xing Dairong was so angry that his whole body was shaking. His mind went blank. He looked at the closed door and kicked it twice in anger.

But her feet were in so much pain that she ran to the swing pavilion feeling angry and aggrieved.

Just as she ran back, Qiu Ling's last two sentences suddenly woke her up.

The mistress of the house?

Lu Lingyun?!

At this time.

The autumn wind is blowing and the sun is shining brightly.

In the small flower hall with a comfortable breeze, Lu Lingyun was looking at the account book.

"It's so refreshing, so refreshing, so refreshing!"

"Just now Aunt Qiu rushed out with the night pot in the room and splashed at Xing Dairong, splashing her so hard that she couldn't even fart anymore."

Chunhe and Shuanghong were both laughing so hard that they fell over, and Xiaowei, who came over to deliver the message, laughed so hard that tears came out of her eyes.

"Madam, this is how we should deal with people like this! Let her go crazy in front of us every day!"

Lu Lingyun smiled faintly as she looked through the account book.

She also didn't expect that Aunt Qiu was quite capable of making people angry.

In just two or three days, Xing Dairong became so angry that she could no longer sit still and gave her a severe beating.

"Okay, Shuanghong, go out of the house later and tell Zhiran to start stockpiling charcoal. Now that autumn has just arrived, the purchase price is better."

"Yes." Shuanghong stopped laughing and answered while holding her stomach.

After Lu Lingyun became familiar with the affairs in the mansion, he began to manage the farm and properties under his own name.

As a reborn person, she must seize some important time points. She remembers that this winter was particularly cold, and the price of charcoal soared. Later on, it became difficult to buy it even at a high price.

In her previous life, she was in the Li Mansion. The Li family did not have enough charcoal, so all the charcoal was given to the head of the family and the eldest brother of the Li family. She caught a lot of colds while following Li Er at that time, and her body was also damaged by illness at that time.

In this life, she took the initiative and prepared the charcoal first.

While she was arranging the affairs here, news came in from the other side.

"Young Madam, the guy from Yanguang Pavilion is here again!"
