Qi Rufeng stood not far ahead, his face full of murderous intent.
"Young Master Qi, haven't you heard the saying, 'A good dog doesn't block the way'?"
Xie Lingqin never showed any politeness to Qi Rufeng.
"Hmph, shameless, shameless, and without a sense of decency."
"Oh!"
Xie Lingqin was completely unmoved by Qi Rufeng's sarcastic, disdainful, and cold words. Instead, she chuckled lightly and said, "I wonder how I have offended Young Master Qi?"
"To be living in the same room with the Crown Prince before marriage, Xie Lingqin, you are truly a lady of high character."
So that's how it is...
Xie Lingqin raised an eyebrow. "But this kind of lack of ladylike manners, shamelessness, and lack of decency is exactly what your Senior Sister Qingyu desires but cannot have. Do you know that she once tried to kill me with a sword because of this? Isn't she even more shameless, more shameless, and more undignified than me?"
"you……"
Qi Rufeng was arrogant, impulsive, and easily agitated. He was speechless after being rebuked by Xie Lingqin's words. His hands trembled tightly in his wide sleeves, and veins bulged on his forehead. It seemed that if Xie Lingqin said another word, he would draw his sword and attack.
"Young Master Qi, you should know that when my young lady goes out, there are always guards secretly watching over her. So, are you sure you still want to spend another night in the prison of the Prefect of the Capital?"
The giant clam was no pushover either, standing protectively beside Xie Lingqin with considerable force.
Qi Rufeng glanced at the maidservant beside Xie Lingqin, then suddenly loosened her grip on her hand, glared at her hatefully, and turned to leave.
"Miss, let's go." Seeing that Qi Rufeng had left but the young lady hadn't moved for a while, Tridacna hurriedly reminded her.
Xie Lingqin glanced at her, seemingly lost in thought. "You said, when the old man is seriously ill, why didn't Qi Rufeng go back? Is beauty really that powerful?"
Tridacna cactus doesn't know how to answer this question.
"Let's go to the Dong family residence."
However, when Xie Lingqin arrived at Master Dong's residence, she was told that Master Dong was not there. He said that Master Dong had left the capital yesterday to visit his wife in a remote county and would not return for some time.
Xie Lingqin felt a little regretful, and then suddenly remembered that although Old Dong had always lived alone in the capital like a lonely old man, he still had a wife outside.
"Is there anything or anything he wants to bring me?"
Xie Lingqin was still somewhat unwilling to give up. That witty and mischievous old man, Dong Lao, had just left without even saying goodbye.
However, the truth is that Mr. Dong really had nothing to leave her.
"Tridacna, do you think Old Master Dong might actually have a crush on me? Knowing that I'm about to be betrothed, he's jealous but can't bear to be heartbroken, so he sheepishly used visiting his wife as an excuse to go out for a walk to clear his head."
Xie Lingqin sighed softly, her expression serious.
Tridacna...
A slight twitch at the corner of his lips, "Miss, Old Master Dong is over sixty..."
"He doesn't have a daughter..."
"Although I haven't met Master Dong much, I think he would never want a daughter like you."
Tridacna clam is really not afraid of being punished by Xie Lingqin for saying this.
Xie Lingqin raised her hand and gently tapped her head, "How can you dampen your young lady's spirit?"
"Yes, yes, my young lady is loved by everyone, and flowers bloom for her."
"No need, no need, all I need is Yuwen Yao's love."
As Xie Lingqin spoke, a smile crept onto her face, her eyes crinkled, and a warm smile unconsciously appeared on her lips.
A ray of winter sunlight shone down from the eaves of a nearby corridor, seemingly blooming like flowers and enveloping Xie Lingqin, reflecting her sweet smile.
It makes one feel warm all over, even though it's winter.
"Listen to the sea..."
Suddenly remembering something, Xie Lingqin called out to the shadows.
Tinghai immediately appeared.
"How is Li Qingru?"
“Miss, since Miss Li Si was sent back to the manor by Miss Li Da that night, she has remained secluded at home. Miss Li knows that making things difficult for her is useless, so she has not made any unusual moves.”
Xie Lingqin nodded. "Could you please pass on a message to her? Just one word."
"Tolerate."
Xie Lingqin said.
"Let's go to Fuyue Casino." After Tinghai left, Xie Lingqin instructed Tridacna.
After talking with Shiodame just now, she became even more certain of some things.
Tridacna immediately followed, but as she turned around, her eyes held a complex expression as she looked at the tightly closed gate of Elder Dong's residence.
She always felt that old Mr. Dong...
Fu Yue Casino.
Nie Zuier happened to be there and was somewhat surprised to see Xie Lingqin arrive.
"I saw you just yesterday, and I see you again today."
"What, you're not welcome?"
Xie Lingqin raised an eyebrow. "I have a heavy topic to tell you, so don't cry."
"hehe……"
Nie Zuier gently shifted her supple waist and sat down to the side, her red lips curving slightly. "Go ahead and say it, I won't cry."
“Your father’s death should have nothing to do with the barbarians or the Zhedamu. I think someone secretly killed your father and then diverted attention so as not to implicate him.”
Are you referring to the Emperor?
Nie Zuier's smile vanished instantly as she looked at Xie Lingqin.
Xie Lingqin nodded, "Yes, that's what I think, and I'm so sure of it. After all, thinking back to the scene of your father's burial, the rebellion of Uncle Nie the Second and Uncle Nie the Third at that time benefited the court and the emperor. Perhaps we all thought about it at the time, but you were quickly distracted."
"hehe……"
Nie Zuier's face was filled with hatred. "I had already suspected it was him. After all, my innocence was destroyed by the Emperor himself."
Xie Lingqin pressed down on Nie Zuier's hand, "Don't make any rash moves."
