Tsinghua's harsh words had not yet come out, when Ah Jie lifted the curtain and quickly stepped in, kneeling down in front of Liu Chong and bitterly begging: "Liu Temple Lieutenant, the county master is ill, her body is not comfortable, her mood is also bad, and she has suffered grievances. It's normal for people to lose their temper at those closest to them, please be more tolerant of her. She looks forward to your arrival every day, and can't sleep at night..."

  The mistress of Qinghua saw the arrival of reinforcements and swallowed back her harsh words in time. She glared at Ah Rou, who was standing by the bed, looking at Liu Chan with a strange expression, and thought that this girl was so stupid and didn't even know how to mediate in between. If Ah Rou were as clever as Ah Jie, she would have intervened earlier and they wouldn't have ended up exchanging harsh words. However, when she looked up again at Liu Chan's expressionless face, which showed no signs of being moved, her heart began to feel worried and distressed once more.

  "Just listen to Ah Jie say: 'Liu Temple, at this moment the outer gate of the mansion has already been closed. Even if you leave the mansion, you can't go back. Why not stay and accompany the young master instead? What knot is it that cannot be untied? If you talk about it clearly, Master will be happy, and we servants can also feel at ease.'" After finishing speaking, she just kept "thumping" her head on the ground.

  The mistress of Qinghua Manor was overjoyed when she heard this, and thought to herself that with all the gates closed, where could he possibly go? However, she knew Liu Chan's stubborn temper, and it was possible that he might run off to some acquaintance's house to spend the night. She didn't dare breathe a word, but glanced at Liu Chan out of the corner of her eye, only to see that although he hadn't called Ah Jian up, his facial features had gradually softened.

  The mistress of Qinghua knew that Liu's most vigorous breath had been successfully blocked by Ajie, so she coughed lightly and sighed at the right time: "I know I've become like this, you're disgusted with me, otherwise why are you always scolding me? Don't care about my life or death anymore? Have you forgotten what you said before that you would accompany me for a lifetime? Could it be that you still resent me for marrying that dead man in the past? My name is the mistress of the county, but how many things can I really control? If it weren't for constantly thinking of you and missing you, I wouldn't have tried every means to be with you. In this world, how many people are like me, hanging on to you?"

  Liu Chang indeed let out a low sigh, and his tightly clenched fist also relaxed.

  Tsinghua County Master saw that there was a play, and hurriedly said: "You've been tired all day, you should rest too. I'll have someone prepare a fragrant bath for you, go take a bath?" When she said this, she looked at Ah Jie and softly said: "Ah Jie, go serve Liu Si Cheng in his bath."

  It seemed that the young master of Tsinghua had given himself face, but Ah Jie knew how great the risk was behind this face. She bit her lip and said: "The slave is still warming up the swallow's nest congee for the young master."

  As the host, Qinghua Junzhu liked Ai Jie's nature of putting herself first in everything, so she smiled lightly: "You're just a stubborn girl, aren't there other people? You can go by yourself."

  Liu Chang turned his head to look at Ah Rou, who was standing in front of the bed of Qing Hua County's master and had been left somewhat dazed by the two people's continuous brilliant performance. He said seemingly unintentionally: "Forget it, Ah Jie is used to serving you, you can't open your eyes for a moment. Letting Ah Rou serve me will do."

  Tsinghua County Master was taken aback, narrowing her eyes and glaring fiercely at Ah Rou, who had been staring blankly at Liu Chuan like a wooden chicken. She almost gnashed her teeth as she said, "Good, it's Ah Rou." No wonder this guy just saw the two of them arguing and didn't know how to mediate, only knowing to stare at Liu Chuan, originally hoping they would argue more fiercely.

  To say that in the past, they had also served Liu Quan's bath, but now is not like before. The Qinghua County Master's heart was heavy, and Liu Quan proposed this request at this time, fearing it was a trap. Ah Rou suddenly realized something was wrong and hastily declined: "County Master, I don't..."

  The words had not been spoken yet, but were interrupted by Liu Chuan's unhappy tone: "How could I eat people? Good, Qinghua, now even the maids in your mansion look down on me. No wonder outsiders make fun of me more and more, thinking they can bully me as they please." Others may not have thought to bully him at will, but Liu Chengcai and Qinghua indeed did so. By this point, Liu Chuan's tone was already quite violent.

  Liu Chong was furious, and his words "treat it as a joke" also severely irritated the Qinghua County Master. The Qinghua County Master couldn't help but think of many things, and her face sank like water, fiercely glaring at Ah Rou: "You dare to defy my words? Don't you hurry up and go?"

  A Rong could only secretly hold onto a glimmer of hope and softly replied: "Yes." Then she lowered her head and walked to Liu Cheng's side, saying in a low voice: "Liu Temple Lieutenant, please go ahead."

  Liu Chang swept her chest and hips with a glance, smiled at Qinghua Junzhu: "Wait for me, I'll come to accompany you later."

  The mistress of Qinghua looked clearly, a breath stuck in her throat, unable to come up or go down, and was so distressed that she almost died. The Liu Chuan next door did not make any strange noises, but she thought the more she thought, the more unusual it became, and she couldn't help but perk up her ears to listen carefully. She couldn't help but burst out, pushing away the swallow's nest congee handed over by Ajie, who frowned and looked at her worriedly: "Mistress, everything can wait until you recover."

  Tsinghua County Master nodded in approval and glanced at A Jie, gritting her teeth as she said: "Right, take care of your body first."

  Although it was said, Liu Chong's departure did not return, but it made her feel extremely distressed and unbearable. She couldn't help but ask Ah Jing to go and see. After a short while, Ah Jing returned with a red face and ears, but refused to say anything. When she asked urgently, Ah Jing knelt down on the ground and only kowtowed. With Qinghua's experience as a county princess, how could she not guess what had happened? Liu Chong was always a flirtatious person, and he had many complaints about himself. In the past, he didn't touch He, but instead targeted He Mudan's maid to irritate He Mudan. Now, he could do the same to herself.

  She herself had managed to keep the two women in his household at bay, but how could he be willing to idle around? Moreover, tonight she had just used an incense burner to hit him on the head, and he must certainly want revenge. The Qinghua County Master clenched her fists tightly on the silk quilt beneath her, thinking resentfully, no hurry, slowly, one day she would make him not dare say a word in front of her...

  More than half a time later, Liu Cheng walked in with a clear and refreshing expression. He had changed into a snow-white silk robe with a crossed collar, his chest half exposed, and a relaxed smile on his face. It was as if he hadn't seen the twisted expression of Qinghua County's mistress at all. He leaned over to her side and closed his eyes with a satisfied look, saying: "Sleep. I'm exhausted."

  The mistress of Qinghua saw that he fell asleep in a short while, and she pushed him hard twice, but there was no movement at all. She couldn't help feeling sad and thought fiercely that she must get better soon to deal with this ungrateful scoundrel. But these were things for later, for now she had to vent the anger in her chest first. She signaled to Ah Jing without making a sound, grinding her teeth and saying: "Take him away and clean up."

  Ajie's face revealed an unbearable expression, but she couldn't withstand the venomous gaze of Qinghua County Master. She had no choice but to kneel down and bow her head, indicating that everything would be done as ordered. Qinghua County Master lightly spat out a sentence from her pale lips: "Let everyone watch, tell them, this is what happens to those who betray me!"

  Ajie couldn't help but shiver and quietly retreated. Arou blamed her, if she had to blame someone, it could only be the ruthless and poisonous Qinghua Junzhu. Arou saw something she shouldn't have seen again, and harbored malicious thoughts, taking advantage of the situation to step on her. She didn't want to die, so Arou would have to die instead.

  Liu Chuan saw the movements of Tsinghua's master and servant from the gap between his eyelashes, knowing that this hidden danger had been eliminated, so he put his mind at ease and turned over to fall asleep soundly. She could buy and arrange chess pieces in his home, and he could too, it just depended on who would exhaust whom in the end. Xiao Miao'er, this was only just the beginning.

  At the fifth watch, the "dang dang" sound of the morning drum and the bells of various temples rang out one after another. Liu Chong opened his eyes and quietly looked at Qinghua Junzhu beside him, whose eyebrows were still relaxed even in sleep. One hand slipped under the quilt and grasped her chest, twisting it hard. Qinghua Junzhu woke up with a start, gasping in pain.

  She was about to get angry, but Liu Chuan pulled her hand to press a certain place, and then he gently bit her shoulder. She only felt a hot flow rising from her lower abdomen, quickly flowing towards her limbs, making her unable to bear it. She looked at him longingly, softly calling out: "Chuan Lang..." Her eyebrows and eyes were full of spring intentions, hoping that he would take further action, even if it was just comfort.

  Liu Chang stopped at the critical moment and said with a smile: "Let the maid clean you up, the medicine is too strong. Take care of yourself, I have to go. I'll come see you again in two days, don't do anything stupid. Find an opportunity to apologize to your father, it's not good like this."

  The mistress of Qinghua Manor's anger surged uncontrollably, her eyes stinging with pain, as she coldly said: "You just take care of your own romantic escapades and don't bother with me."

  Liu Chang's mood is very good today, not at all bothered by her bad temper. Haha, she laughed and said: "Angry? Actually, I didn't do anything last night. It was just a joke with A Rou, don't believe me? You're sick, how could I do such things?"

  Everyone is dead, what's the point of asking, and Qinghua Junzhu won't believe it anyway. In her eyes, even if it was just a touch, it's no different from that thing.

  Liu Changan didn't care whether she believed him or not, and got out of bed to get dressed. Since no one dared to come forward to serve him, he didn't blame them either, and instead did everything himself before walking out without looking back. Facing Ah Jie who was waiting outside to serve his meal, he squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: "Find a way to spread the word that she's dissatisfied with Wei Wang and Shi Wei because of what happened yesterday, so she smashed things and killed someone."

  The sky had not yet fully brightened, Liu Chong turned his head to take a look at the county main's mansion in the morning twilight, and a cold smile curled up at the corner of his lips. After he slowly pulled out her teeth and claws, let's see how she could still make trouble in front of him?

  He turned over and mounted his horse, slowly leaving Yongxing Alley in the morning light, heading towards the Imperial City. Although the sky was dark, it did not hinder Autumn Shi's sharp eyes from seeing a familiar figure emerging from nearby Anxing Alley on horseback, looking around cautiously, who was none other than Liu Chengcai, who claimed to be staying overnight at the prefecture yamen.

  Liu Chuan also found Liu Chengcai, he didn't go forward to greet him, but instead led his horse into another street entrance, and only after he passed by did he whisper a few words to Qiu Shi, Qiu Shi was a little frightened and uneasy, but still followed the order.
