Zihe picked up the corn cake from the table, put it into the food box next to her, and then quickly followed.
The flower courtyard of the General's Mansion is next to the south courtyard. It's only a two-incense-sticks-long walk from Qingfeng Pavilion, and there's only one path there.
Therefore, if the second concubine were to commit a sin, it would happen halfway there.
Just as Xie Lingqin had predicted, they were stopped in their tracks after walking for about half an incense stick's time.
Beside the artificial hill, a young man in a purple robe walked over in a flirtatious manner, saying in an extremely intimate tone, "Lingqin, it's been a long time."
It's disgusting to look at.
"Qin Qi, get out of the way if you don't want to die."
"Oh, it hasn't been that long since we last met, and your temper has grown quite a bit." Qin Qi didn't give way, but instead stroked his chin and stepped forward, his gaze sweeping over Xie Lingqin from head to toe with ill intent.
Zihe stepped forward abruptly, blocking the two of them, "Young Master Qin, men and women should not be so intimate..."
"You ignorant maid, get out of my way!" Qin Qi was furious and was about to push Zihe away when Xie Lingqin pulled Zihe aside first. Meeting Qin Qi's lecherous gaze, she gently reminded her, "Qin Qi, I am the eldest daughter of this General's Mansion."
Qin Qi chuckled upon hearing this, squinting as he looked around. "I know, but you're not favored. Don't worry, you've been divorced by the Prince Xian, haven't you? I'll talk to my mother and marry you as my principal wife. I guarantee you'll live a much more comfortable life than you do in this General's Mansion." As he spoke, Qin Qi's Adam's apple bobbed, and he raised his head, ready to make a move on Xie Lingqin.
"Ha!" Xie Lingqin suddenly grabbed Qin Qi's arm.
Qin Qi was taken aback, then overjoyed, "So, Lingqin likes me this much too..."
"Yes, I like you so much." Xie Lingqin said each word with a cold, sinister laugh, "I like to make you wish you were dead..." As she spoke, Xie Lingqin tightened her grip on Qin Qi's arm slightly.
"Crackâ" A crisp sound was heard.
---Aside---
Qin Qi won't have a good ending, but he's somewhat useful.
