Xie Lingqin led Zihe and Tridacna into the carriage, which gradually drove away and turned the corner in the blink of an eye.
After the rain, as the sky gradually darkened, everything seemed to be draped in a heavy layer of color.
"General, it's getting chilly, let's go," a guard reminded him from behind.
"Find him, hurry up and find him, we must find my other son as soon as possible."
General Xie suddenly tightened his grip and gave a deep, resonant order.
“Yes, actually…” Konoe Tani hesitated.
"explain."
"It's almost certain, but I'm afraid the general will be disappointed."
"What?"
...
The sound of the carriage wheels on the slightly puddled road created a soft murmur, yet it brought a sense of tranquility to the heart.
"From today onwards, General Xie probably intends to completely abandon me." Xie Lingqin suddenly sneered.
"But, Miss, didn't you already give up on the General's Mansion long ago?"
Xie Lingqin looked at the giant clam, "You're right, I gave up on the General's Mansion a long time ago."
To be precise, from the moment she transmigrated here, she never intended for the General's Mansion to exist properly.
About half an hour later, as darkness fell, the carriage stopped in front of the Ministry of War's residence.
Li Qingyu stood at the door with her maidservant, coming to greet them personally.
After some feigned politeness, we entered the courtyard.
Xie Lingqin simply led her people along without saying a word from beginning to end.
This puzzled Li Qingyu, who looked at Xie Lingqin and asked, "Miss Xie, now that you're here, aren't you curious about anything you'd like to ask me?"
Xie Lingqin thought for a moment, a smile playing on her lips, "Oh, will there be plenty of good medicinal herbs later? Could you let me make a quick trip?"
"That was specially ordered by an old man to be brought to my young lady. Who do you think you are, trying to take it away?" Qing'er, standing beside Li Qingyu, immediately rebuked her.
Li Qingyu did not stop her.
Right now, wherever the group went, people watched and listened, but no one dared to look in their direction.
Zihe and Tridacna clearly wanted to step forward and teach them a lesson, but Xie Lingqin raised her hand to stop them.
"Remember, don't bother with people who have no manners. Besides, they're other people's people, and you don't need to pay attention to their gossip."
With just a few simple words, Li Qingyu was rendered speechless, unable to even refute her maid.
"Miss Xie asks others for things without asking, and you call that being well-mannered? Isn't it just a case of the upper beam being crooked and the lower beam being crooked? And she's even trying to turn the tables on others."
After choking for a while, the maid spoke again.
Xie Lingqin remained calm and composed, instead slowly observing the maid, "The key question is, did your young lady give it to you?"
this……
"And Miss Li," Xie Lingqin suddenly sighed, "you know, like father, like son. You mustn't let such an incompetent maid follow you anymore, or you'll ruin your reputation."
Using minimal force to achieve maximum effect.
"Miss Xie, you're too kind. It's just that the maid was being ignorant. I don't think Miss Xie would hold a grudge against a maid." Li Qingxia's words were clearly meant to imply that Xie Lingqin was narrow-minded. However, how could she possibly guess what Xie Lingqin was thinking?
"There's no other way. The past ten years have been too tough. I have to hold a grudge. Look, Miss Li, I haven't even laid a hand on her today, have I?"
this……
If you don't take action, it becomes your justification, and you're giving her face.
Xie Lingqin then calmly said, "Just look at this perfectly paved ground and the exquisite decorations in the courtyard. Everywhere you look, you can see Miss Li's poetic talent, noble character, and magnanimity."
This is practically praising Li Qingyu to the skies.
However, he belittled Li Qingyu's maidservants to the point of being worthless.
Looking at the two maids beside her, who hadn't uttered a single word from beginning to end, and then looking at her own side...
At this moment, led by Li Qingyu, the group entered a courtyard.
The courtyard was meticulously manicured, with raindrops still clinging to the flowers and leaves. The small stones and table created a perfect blend of scholarly atmosphere and martial spirit.
However, a scene in the very center of the courtyard shattered this beautiful picture.
The center of the academy.
Li Qingru was kneeling on the ground with her back to them, her hands raised above her head, balancing a basin of pebbles.
Li Qingru was clearly out of breath and swaying unsteadily. It was autumn, and the weather was even cooler after the rain, but Li Qingru's forehead was already soaked with sweat.
Standing to the side were several maids. Only two of them looked at Li Qingru with worry, biting their lips and almost crying. The others, however, had indifferent expressions and were clearly watching her.
Just looking at this is enough to make anyone angry.
"Reporting to the eldest young lady, the fourth young lady fell once just now, so this servant asked the fourth young lady to start over."
At this moment, seeing Li Qingyu walk forward, a maidservant hurriedly stepped forward to report.
"Oh." Li Qingyu nodded, walked over, looked at Li Qingru, and sighed, "Fourth sister, this won't do. With your stamina, how can you become strong without more training?" As she spoke, Li Qingyu secretly sized up Xie Lingqin, and seeing that she didn't seem moved at all, she smiled nonchalantly, "I'm sorry to make you laugh, Miss Xie. My fourth sister is weak and often gets sick, so I'm having her exercise. It's tough, but it's for her own good."
"So, Miss Li was teaching Fourth Miss how to improve her health," Xie Lingqin said as she walked over, her voice neither loud nor soft. "Anyone who didn't know better would think that Miss Li was abusing her half-sister."
"Miss Xie is too kind. Fourth sister, come and rest for a while. Don't you have some connection with Miss Xie? Come and meet her."
Upon hearing this, Li Qingru's maid immediately stepped forward, took down the basin of pebbles, and helped Li Qingru, who was clearly numb from kneeling, to her feet.
