CHAPTER 1 - ONLY SUCCESS NO FAILURE

May, 1935.

It rained for three days in a row in Qinzhou, and the trams were overcrowded as they jingled past the intersection, splashing a spray of water and dropping a packet of Hade's Doors from someone's pocket.

Leng Quan Ling held a black umbrella and walked along the street in a red dress. Her long eyelashes drooped slightly, and she landed on the pack of cigarettes that was soaked by the rain.

Under her exquisite makeup, there was a trace of loneliness and helplessness.

She looked up at the bright words Yage Hotel and felt her eyes stinging.

The most luxurious hotel in Qinzhou was this one. The people who were able to reserve seats here were all nobles of various backgrounds. Just by saying their surnames, they could make Qinzhou tremble a little.

Leng Quan Ling's goal today was the person on top of these people. He was the famous young master of the Bai Clan in all the three provinces of Qinzhou, but he was the young marshal.

That was her mission today. Her father, Leng Yujiang's career and his clan's coercion were nothing to her. To her, there was an even more important matter.

Her beautiful eyes narrowed. Today, she must take care of Xiao Bai and … He could only succeed, he could not fail!

Miss Leng, this is your room. Do you need any service?

The waiter's reply interrupted her train of thoughts. She lifted the corner of her mouth and shook her head, walking straight into the room.

The scene in front of him was completely in line with the golden words' resplendent '. Just the glass chandelier in the hall was emitting an unconcealable aura of nobility. The diamond-shaped light flashed beautifully all around, even more dazzling than the golden tea set on the table.

Leng Quan Ling walked over and picked up the teacup, giving a cold snort.

Leng Yujiang had really invested a lot in order for her to become a young commander-in-chief. With such rooms and the people he had arranged everywhere, he had probably used the money to buy longevity materials.

Today was a good day, Young Marshal Bai wanted to invite guests to a banquet on the second floor of the Yage Restaurant, and even good sake drinks had to be served, the waiters only added a little something into the wine cup, and when the young marshal was about to rest after being drunk, the servants by his side would help him up and enter the luxurious room as promised.

After drawing her captivating red lips even more beautifully, Leng Quan Ling looked at herself in the mirror and suddenly smiled.

Men were all the same. Rather than walking on thin ice at home and waiting for Leng Yujiang to plot against him, he might as well take the initiative.

After all, not many men could resist such beauty.

There weren't many men who could compare to the power of the Bai Clan's Young Marshal!

Very soon, someone gently knocked on the door. There were three short knocks; this was a message for her. The young marshal was coming.

Leng Quan Ling stood at the door and covered her beating heart with her hand.

In terms of nervousness, there was naturally some.

At this moment, the door burst open. A man in a military uniform walked in. It seemed that he was quite drunk and had become a bit dazed.

Although his stepmother had taught him a lot of ways to attract her mother when they were out of the house, she was suddenly at a loss when this person had really intruded into her eyes.

The officer outside the door, who had received the money, was afraid that this matter would fail, so he bared his fangs and brandished his claws, commanding the Cold Spring Spirit.

Go!

Seeing the situation, Leng Quan gritted his teeth. Even if it wasn't for them, for herself, she had to give it her all today!

She took a step forward to hug the man, closing her eyes and fiercely approaching him. She pushed him towards the back until …

They both fell into the vast expanse of pure white behind them.

CHAPTER 2 - I'M GOING TO STEP INTO THE MARSHAL'S HOUSE

Cold Spring Spirit body fragrance, is the French rose fragrance, the red long skirt is tailored, even more so waist.

With the help of the wine, the man's eyes quickly became misty. His dark eyes wandered aimlessly around the cold spring spirit. The air froze just like that as the two of them stared at each other.

Hiss …

The custom-made dresses made of heavy gold were instantly destroyed, and the scent of men became thicker and thicker.

Even though it was driven by alcohol, Bai Jue felt that he had never had such an impulse before.

An impulse toward a woman.

To a normal man, this might not be worth mentioning, but if he was given this urge, it would be equivalent to a miracle.

The girl in front of him was obviously well-prepared. She spared no effort to attract him, but she was right above her, her nails digging into her flesh. He kept reminding himself in his heart …

This was obviously a beauty trap!

However, the woman below him was dressed in a fiery red dress. The dark patterns on the dress outlined a beautiful flower. It made her slightly red face seem like it was reflecting the light …

A pair of phoenix eyes, which were as clear as autumn water, was shut tightly at this moment. Its eyelashes were constantly trembling, and there was even a trace of undried tears on them.

Too beautiful, too seductive, but also too heart-wrenching. He couldn't help but have a compassionate thought.

He was shocked by his own series of emotions.

He looked straight into the woman's eyes, and then his trembling lower lip, which he bit down with great effort.

Bai Jue made up his mind. He reached out to tear off his coat, and then suddenly …

Leng Quan Ling closed his eyes to feel the pain in his body. It was only when he stopped moving and fell to the side that he slowly opened his eyes.

The man next to her was Young Marshal Bai, his thick black eyelashes hanging down as he breathed evenly.

This kind of handsome man that most girls would be tempted towards was actually a cold-faced Raksha who would kill without batting an eye. Having been secretly trained by Commander Bai since he was young, who knew how many people had died at his hands.

The Cold Spring Spirit clenched his teeth and clenched his fists. He did his best to restrain himself from making a sound as tears silently flowed down his face.

When she was eight years old, she came from a poor family. Her mother went to the Commander's House to work for a living, but before she left, she also said that she would bring some snacks with her and told her to wait at home.

But who would have imagined that this wait took twelve years.

His mother's fate was unknown, but his father's enquiries had come to naught. The marshal's residence had always been heavily guarded, and the news was completely sealed off. However, his father eventually gave up.

And he quickly took in a new wife, and then her life began to turn upside down.

It was unknown when the Cold Spring Spirit fell asleep amidst its tears and memories. When it opened its eyes again, the man beside it was already gone.

He sat up on his side and looked down at the dazzling red patch on the bed. The cold spring spirit stretched out his hand and pulled the silk pajamas over his body, then walked into the bathroom expressionlessly.

If he wanted to find out where his mother was, he would have to be investigated personally by the Residence of Marshal!

When she saw a small thumb ring, she suddenly let out a sigh of relief – this could be considered as a success.

After cleaning herself up, she called the rickshaw back home.

It was rare for the sky to clear up and there were still water stains on the ground. This coachman was young and vigorous. Seeing this kind of lady like this, he naturally used a lot of extra strength and used his feet to turn back and forth in the alleys.

If this was a normal person, the Cold Spring Spirit would happily chat with the driver. Most of the people in the big alleys of Qinzhou didn't know what was going on. This little brother truly had a rare memory.

However, Leng Quan Ling was not in a good mood today. After sitting there for a long time, she felt nauseous and nauseous. Therefore, she told him to stop by the roadside and walk back by himself.

As soon as she entered the house, she smelled a unique fragrance. Her stepmother, Li Keshu, was still sleeping on the sofa with her dog in her arms.

Hearing the sound of the door, she instinctively turned around. After seeing Leng Quan Ling, she stared blankly for a moment before suddenly jumping up from the sofa.

Why did you come back! Li Kesu looked at the cold spring spirit in fear, her fingers trembling slightly.

After I'm done, I will naturally return. Leng Quan Ling threw his bag on the table and sat down to drink a cup of water.

Li Kesu turned her head to look at the clock on the other side. Her expression immediately turned unsightly.

You should be having breakfast with the Young Marshal at this hour. You spent so much money; if you don't get it done, I'll skin you alive!

Leng Quan Ling took a small sip of water, her eyes slowly turned towards Li Kesu who was baring her fangs and brandishing her claws: I've done it, it's the young general right, it's just that when I woke up this morning, he's already gone.

What!

Li Keshu screamed. She ran to the Cold Spring and grabbed her by the hair, pulling her up off the stool. Not only were you bullied, you were even chased away by that bastard? "

CHAPTER 3 - ENTERING THE HANDSOME MANOR

Cold Spring Spirit was already sore all over, but after being pulled by her, he immediately became dizzy. He didn't even have the strength to resist and break free.

Her eyes suddenly became moist, but she fiercely retracted her tears.

If her mother was still here, she wouldn't have fallen to such a state.

After this woman entered the room, she lived to the point where she couldn't even be compared to a servant.

Thinking of this, her hatred towards this family deepened.

Just as Li Keshu's scolding got worse and worse and the ruckus became unbearable, the door of the house was suddenly slammed open. Soon after, a group of soldiers wearing black leather boots rushed in.

Seeing this, Li Kesu immediately understood what was going on and let go of the Cold Spring Spirit.

Who is Miss Leng?

After which, a person who looked like an adjutant walked in and asked loudly.

She! Li Kesu reached out her hand to pull the cold spring spirit forward. The one who served the Young Marshal last night was her!

In order to send out the Cold Spring Spirit as soon as possible, Li Keshen's facial expression showed that she had achieved her goals. The words that came out were not concealed at all, making people feel embarrassed.

Take him away.

With a wave of his hand, two old women came up behind him and pulled at the cold spring from both sides.

Sigh! Li Keshu became anxious when she saw this. She hurriedly stepped forward and stopped Leng Quan Ling: How can you all bring people away like this? I'll ask my master to come back now.

The deputy officer in the lead chuckled when he heard this, his face full of mockery.

My Young Marshal said that he understood the intention of Mr. Leng's actions. However, the current situation was in turmoil, so it would be better to find a way for him to escape. We will accept this person, but the relationship between Young Marshal here is not something that a weak girl can match.

Li Keshen stood on the spot. She clearly didn't understand the Lieutenant's words, so she could only slowly write them down for Leng Yujiang to repeat.

The Cold Spring Spirit had always been at their mercy and didn't resist, but it was fully aware of the stakes involved.

Of course she understood the meaning of this young marshal's words. Leng Yujiang was a servant of a small family after all. Did he really think that he could get the marshal's house just by giving away his daughter?

If she hadn't investigated her mother's whereabouts, she wouldn't have done such a foolish thing with Leng Yujiang.

As soon as she stepped out of the door, she was shoved into the car. The two old women held onto her tightly, as if they were afraid that she would run away.

She looked at the nervous people and felt like laughing.

She couldn't wait to enter the marshal's residence, so why would she want to run away?

The car drove straight into the main entrance, passing by the beautiful baroque buildings and speeding towards the very back.

Although he could not see everything, just the view from the window was enough to shock the spirit of the cold spring for a long time.

No wonder Leng Yujiang was so eager to have a little connection with the Handsome Manor.

The car finally stopped at a small two-story house.

The cold spring spirit walked down and looked up. This house was completely different from the previous ones. Not to mention that it was old and dilapidated, the entire house was emitting a sinister aura. The servants stepped forward and opened the door. With a creak, their bodies were covered in dust.

Miss Leng, this is your residence. After that, I will send a little girl to take care of your residence.

The military officer expressionlessly said as he waved his men away.

In an instant, there was only the cold spring spirit left.

CHAPTER 4 - YOU ARE THAT WOMAN?

Although he knew that it wouldn't be treated well before he came here, it was too miserable for him. Just like the cold palace, the spirit from the cold spring looked around and stared at the huge house.

If she were trapped here for the rest of her life, how would she investigate her mother?

She was anxious, but she quickly calmed down.

Only by thinking of a way to get close to Bai Jing would there be a chance for life.

Nice to meet you, Miss Leng. My name is Ling'er.

Just as she was deep in thought, a small voice came from beside her. When she turned around, she saw a clean girl with her head lowered.

This must be the person who came to take care of her. The Cold Spring Spirit looked at the person in front of her. Her head was lowered so low that it was impossible to see her figure clearly.

Raise your head. Leng Quan Ling thought to herself, if they were to send such a person here, it would take at least half a month to clean up this room. From the looks of it, this person wasn't even a girl that could do any work.

After Ling'er heard Leng Quan Ling'er's words, she hesitated for a while before slowly raising her head.

At the same time Ling'er lifted her head, Leng Quan, who had already done his best to restrain himself, shouted out loudly.

Ling'er instantly lowered her face and didn't say a word.

Leng Quan Ling stood there with her hands on her chest for a long time before she regained her senses. The girl in front of her looked extremely beautiful, if... If there weren't those two terrible burn scars on the side of the face, many people would probably like it.

Don't be afraid, I'm just not ready. I'm fine now.

Leng Quan Ling had a hunch that something bad must have happened to this girl. She immediately felt pity for her and took a step forward to hold her hand.

Since you've come to take care of me, you're my man. I won't despise you.

Ling'er kept her head down, and only let out a low grunt after a while.

There were only new quilts in the room, and nothing else.

Seeing Ling'er busying herself, Leng Quan Ling also started to clean up. After all, she was not some young miss in the Leng Clan. Li Kesu had bullied her since she was young, so she was no different from a servant.

Just like that, the two of them cleaned up the entire room. Seeing that it was late in the morning, Leng Yanling decided to leave what she was doing and go to Ling'Er's room.

Where are we going to eat?

These few days, the madame and the eldest young master are not here. Those people are too lazy to send them over, so you have to go to the kitchen and eat there yourself.

Leng Quan Ling waved her hand, gesturing Ling'er to lead the way. It didn't matter where they ate, she was already feeling a little sick from hunger.

The so-called 'kitchen' was to eat standing by the oily table in the kitchen. The chopsticks and bowls were rough and hadn't been washed clean yet, so the food could still be eaten.

Ling'er ate happily, but the spirit of the cold spring did not have much appetite. It was not that she was proud, but it was that she could not stand to watch.

Since he couldn't eat with the chopsticks, the spirit of the cold spring listened to the sound coming from his stomach and sighed softly.

Why aren't there any more osmanthus cakes today? I'll have something to eat after dinner.

At this moment, a clear female voice rang out. Leng Quan Ling turned around to look, and coincidentally met her gaze.

It seemed that this girl wasn't very old, about fifteen or sixteen. Her small, oval like face had a willow shaped nose, and her captivating red lips formed a beautiful curve.

Ah! Are you the woman that Big Brother said he wants to bring back to the manor? "

CHAPTER 5 - ELDEST MISS OF THE HANDSOME HOUSE

The girl asked a question that Leng Quan Ling was unable to answer. Firstly, she didn't know who she was, nor did she know if she was kind or evil. It was better to be cautious than to answer at a time like this.

Seeing that Leng Quan Ling was looking at her without replying, the girl suddenly smiled and patted herself.

I'm the Young Marshal's younger sister, Bai Lihua. You can just call me younger sister from now on.

Bai Lihua's eyes were clear and bright. Her smile was clean and comfortable. She looked at the bowl that Leng Quan Ling was holding and her expression immediately darkened. This is my sister-in-law, how can she eat with a servant? Isn't this bowl used to feed dogs? "

As soon as Bai Lihua finished speaking, the cold spring spirit lowered its head to look at the dirty bowl in its hands.

Fortunately … She didn't eat it!

Add more chopsticks to the dishes in front. I'll eat with my sister-in-law. And my osmanthus cake, just a little more! " After Bai Lihua finished speaking, she pulled up the Cold Spring Spirit and prepared to leave.

Just as they were about to leave the kitchen, an old lady suddenly walked over and pulled Bai Lihua away.

Eldest Miss, you can't eat with her. It's better to stay far away from this kind of woman who doesn't care. You haven't even left the pavilion yet, how about you be affected by bad luck?

In the blink of an eye, Leng Quan Ling turned to look at the fierce-looking old woman, and his expression darkened.

To think that he was not afraid of saying such words. Was this the home tutor of the marshal?

But thinking about it in the blink of an eye, she endured it in the end. Now that she had to pretend to be weak, she could clearly see the situation of the Handsome Manor. Furthermore … Find someone you can use first.

The cold spring spirit retracted its gaze and looked at Bai Lihua. This girl looked very innocent, so it would be better to start with her.

His thumb deeply pierced into his palm. Leng Quan Ling used all her strength to pinch herself until her eyes were full of tears. She looked at Bai Lihua with a wronged expression.

Aiya, Mother Feng! Big brother had also touched sister-in-law, could it be that he was also affected by bad luck? You dare to curse the young master? "

In a flash, Bai Lihua saw tears in Leng Quan Ling's eyes and immediately became furious.

How would I dare … The old woman reluctantly let go of his hand and glared at him.

With Bai Lihua's support, the cold spring spirit finally had a comfortable meal.

After dinner, Bai Lihua suggested taking a walk in the garden.

Leng Quan Ling was thinking about how to get close to her. Her invitation at this time was simply too good. She immediately agreed with a smile and stood up respectfully, waiting for it to come.

The garden of the Handsome Manor was truly extraordinary in size. It was so big that it hurt to walk through it. It was only half a step away. Bai Lihua was very interested in introducing her to the various corners of the marshal's residence.

Leng Quan Ling looked at the lively and adorable girl before him. She was really envious of her. Who wouldn't like to live a simple life?

Even such a scheming scheme was still forced out.

Ah!

Suddenly, just as her mind was wandering, she heard a cry of alarm.

She quickly ran over and Bai Lihua fell down. Her hand just happened to fall on a sharp little rock, causing her to bleed instantly.

Seeing this, Leng Quan Ling hurriedly pulled out a handkerchief to cover her palm, then pulled her up.

How is it? Does it matter?"

It's fine. Bai Lihua's good mood flew beyond the ninth heaven as tears welled up in her eyes. She sat on the ground and looked at her wounds.

Eh? I seem to have seen this handkerchief somewhere before! Suddenly, as if she had discovered something new, Bai Lihua turned around and said to the cold spring spirit.

CHAPTER 6 - THE SECRET OF THE HANDKERCHIEF

Upon hearing Bai Lihua's words, the cold spring spirit's heart sank and her complexion changed.

Her mother had left this handkerchief for her and she had personally embroidered the lily on it. There were two pieces in total, and her mother had taken one away with her …

Have you seen this handkerchief? Cold Spring Spirit grabbed Bai Lihua. She could feel her voice trembling. It's the same as mine. Where did you see it? Who's holding it? Do you remember her name? "

Pain! Bai Lihua was shocked by Leng Quan Ling's actions. She pulled her hand, wanting her to let go.

Looking at Bai Lihua's pained expression, the spirit of the cold spring realized that her actions were a bit too extreme. She was afraid that Bai Lihua would be frightened. She hurriedly let go of her hand, pulled up a smile, and asked again in a soft voice.

Lihua, tell me, what else do you remember?

I think she used the name Mrs Liu by my mother's side. It's the same. There's even a word embroidered on it. Bai Lihua looked carefully and immediately remembered. She nodded with certainty.

Mrs Liu? Leng Quan Ling was stunned. Her mother's surname was Yin, could it be she had changed her surname?

However, what she said had a word embroidered on it, and this was completely true. There couldn't be such a coincidence. It was exactly the same handkerchief, and there were even words embroidered on it.

Then do you remember what was embroidered on it? The Cold Spring Spirit clenched her fists. She was so nervous that her hands were covered in sweat.

Seems to be a …

What are you doing here?

Suddenly, a deep male voice interrupted Bai Lihua's words. In the next second, a pair of black military boots appeared in her line of sight. Although she didn't raise her head, she felt an indescribable cold assail her.

Big brother, I fell. Without another word, Bai Lihua immediately stood up from the ground. She seemed to be afraid of Bai Tong, looking down at her wound without another word.

Bai Ran lowered his head to look at Bai Lihua's wound. He extended his hand and mercilessly tore off that handkerchief and threw it at Leng Quan Ling's face.

Bai Lihua had bled even more blood from the wound being pulled, but she still didn't dare to make a sound as she stood there with her head lowered.

Leng Quan Ling took back her precious handkerchief and looked coldly at the man before her. She gritted her teeth with hatred in her heart. To think that she treated her own little sister in such a manner; she was truly inhumane!

Bai Jiran's pair of sinister, bloodthirsty eyes were as frightening as bloodthirst. He reached out his hand to pull the Cold Spring Spirit's sleeve and walked over, as if he was dragging an item. He didn't care about the people behind him at all.

The cold spring spirit, as a weak girl, was simply unable to keep up with his pace. She staggered as he dragged her until she entered that dusty room.

With a flip of his hand, Xiao Bai threw the cold spring spirit to the ground. He then looked down coldly, his eyes filled with a bottomless chilliness.

As some people have meticulously planned it out, I shall do as they say and see what they want from now on. As for you, you are only a pawn in this battle. Just stay put and don't make any moves. No matter what task Leng Yujiang gave you, I advise you to take care of yourself. Otherwise, killing you would be as easy as flipping my hand.

Bai Jiran's entire body was emitting an aura that caused people to tremble. His every word was like a knife, viciously stabbing into the heart of the Cold Spring Spirit.

After saying so, Bai Jue turned and left, closing the door behind him.

Leng Quan Ling laid on the ground and turned her head to look at the door. She bit her lips until they were bleeding. Just one more step and she would be able to find out the whereabouts of that handkerchief, but she was ruined by this man!

CHAPTER 7 - UNINVITED GUEST

The cold spring spirit lowered her head to look at the handkerchief in her hand. It was still stained with Bai Lihua's blood. She had been in a hurry and didn't notice it, but now she felt a bit of heartache.

Just as she turned around, she saw Ling'er, who was trembling in fear beside the cabinet. She was still holding a cloth in her hand.

Don't be afraid, Bai Tong has already left. The cold spring spirit patted her shoulder with a little heartache.

I thought he was going to kill us. Ling'er seemed to have lost her soul, and her face was already deathly pale.

Are you that afraid of him? The Coldspring Spirit hated Bai even more, so the fear in his heart wasn't much. Seeing Ling'er scared to this extent, he couldn't help but feel puzzled in his heart.

There are many rules in the Commander's Manor, and no one can afford to offend them, or else they might ruin their family and kill them all. Look at my face, even if I'm burned to death, they say that I seduced the young master, but I didn't, I didn't. They just poured a cup of water, and my parents died, and the ones harmed by me, are all because of me …

The more Ling'er spoke, the more excited she became. Holding her head, she slowly slid down the wall and sat on the ground, covering her head with her hands as she cried.

What kind of crime could make them treat a girl like this!?

The spirit of the cold spring listened to all of this in shock. She had never imagined that the marshal's residence would be so ugly.

Then... The legend of Bai Wuchang using a living person as a target seemed to be normal.

To the Young Master? Who was this? Was it someone very important to the Bai Clan? Otherwise, how could such a single person cause so many deaths in Ling'er's family?

Leng Quan Ling had a lot of questions in her mind, but it was a pity that Ling'er had already broken down. She couldn't get any answers out of her, so she could only wait until she calmed down before asking.

Miss Leng, our family's eldest Miss has long since told you to wait. She will bring her own made snacks.

Just as Leng Quan Ling wanted to console Ling'er, a sharp voice suddenly came from behind her.

The cold spring spirit turned around angrily and frowned. Did this servant of the Handsome Manor not have the habit of knocking on the door?

Without waiting for Cold Spring Ling's reply, the little servant girl turned around and left.

The next morning, when Leng Quan Ling was waiting at the door, she intentionally missed breakfast.

After waiting for a long time, Bai Lihua still hadn't arrived. Suddenly, a man appeared at the corner. He quickly walked towards her and stopped in front of her.

Hello, Miss Leng. I am the butler of the Commander's Mansion.

A man wearing a grey plaid suit with gold-rimmed glasses appeared at the door. He had delicate features and gave off a bookish aura.

The Cold Spring Spirit sized the man up, and the defenses in its heart decreased a little. What's the matter? "

It's about the thing they neglected that day. I want to apologize to you personally. The man smiled politely and pointed inside the door. Can we go in and talk? There are so many people outside, it's not convenient.

Leng Quan Ling looked at the servant outside, then turned his body to let the door open. The man nodded his head and walked straight into the house.

Since the young commander-in-chief didn't give any special instructions, there was a lot of gossip between the servants. These few old ladies are all superstitious, so they would do something too excessive.

The man looked around after entering the room, then reached out to close the door.

Leng Quan Ling looked at Ling'er, who was standing by the side, but did not say anything. There was still a servant, so it was probably fine.

It's fine. I'm just being unreasonable and not blaming them. Fortunately, Eldest Miss helped me in time.

Leng Quan Ling looked at the man in front of her and muttered in her heart: In such a big marshal's residence, the person in charge should be a shrewd and capable person. Can the white-masked young man really convince the masses?

CHAPTER 8 - THE OLD LADY IS BACK

It was obvious how superficial people were just by looking at their faces. Although the Bai Clan had sent out two generals, they still valued their knowledge. At first, she did not believe it, but now, she looked at the steward and felt that it was somewhat believable.

Miss Leng, let me help you tidy up your room.

The man stood up and started to clean up the room.

Cold Spring stood in the doorway with his arms crossed. She had a feeling that something was wrong with this steward, but she couldn't say what.

The man who called himself the manager stayed for a full two hours before he left. Because he was tired after cleaning up his house, he was sweating profusely. He even took off his coat.

Then I'll take my leave, Miss Leng. The butler wiped the sweat from his handkerchief in one hand and took off his coat in the other.

Leng Quan Ling did not answer, but only slightly nodded her head.

This incident was like an interlude, but the butler did a good job. Although Leng Quan Ling had a lot of doubts in her heart, nothing happened in front of her, so she didn't think too much about it.

Just like that, a few days passed. Leng Quan Ling still went to the mansion to eat with Bai Lihua. Bai Lihua really was an unscheming young miss, she could chat with Leng Quan Ling and even chat with her for a while when it came to poetry. She just happened to buy a copy of the recently published New Literature Faculty. The two of them often spent the afternoon in the garden looking at it.

One night, Bai Lihua suddenly put down her chopsticks and sighed.

Sister-in-law, after tomorrow, you won't be able to eat here anymore.

Hmm? The Cold Spring Spirit stopped and looked up at Bai Lihua with a puzzled expression.

My mom will be back tomorrow morning. There are so many rules here, so you can't come here to eat. She won't even see you. It's time for me to go to school and come back to practice dancing. Bai Lihua sighed three times, her face wrinkled.

Don't worry, we'll meet in the garden when we're free. The Residence of Marshal is so big, there's always a place for us to play.

Cold Spring Ling longingly looked at the beautiful environment, heart also lament, tomorrow will not be so good treatment.

As expected, the next morning, everyone in the Commander's Manor was busy. Ling'er left early in the morning, saying that she had to clean the stairs in front of them, so she went to help out.

Leng Quan Ling stood on the second floor with her arms crossed as she watched the crowd gather in the mansion before her. This was no different from when the empress dowager returned to the palace.

She recalled the words Bai Lihua didn't finish that day, and only knew that it was the 'empress dowager''s wife holding a handkerchief. However, no matter how she asked, she couldn't get the specifics out of her. Bai Lihua always wanted to say something, but she always hesitated, so she just told her in the end.

Don't ask about this matter. There are too many disputes here, if you ask too many, our young marshal will be unhappy.

Bai Lihua was clearly aware of the inside information, but due to certain things that could not be revealed, it seemed like this matter was not a small matter.

What was the problem? Wasn't her mother here to work? How could he have disappeared without a trace?

Could he have offended someone? He was locked up? Sent somewhere else? Or …

When the Cold Spring Spirit thought of this, a cold shiver went down her spine and her palms broke out in a cold sweat.

While Leng Quan Ling was still deep in her thoughts, someone suddenly spoke behind her, saying that the madame wanted her to go to the main hall.

CHAPTER 9 - I AM THE MATRIARCH OF THE HOUSE

Old madam? Leng Quan Ling turned her head and immediately understood that Bai Jiran and Bai Lihua's mother had asked her to go.

Was this the sign of seeing his mother-in-law? There was an uneasy rhythm in her heart.

Leng Quan Ling nodded her head, she turned around and took out a plain qipao from the wardrobe and changed. She tidied up her hair, trying to give people a clean feeling.

Usually, when they went to eat, they would not feel so. But today, a servant was bringing them to the main hall. It felt like this road was exceptionally long. Many of the servants who passed by looked at her strangely and began to whisper among themselves.

Although she ate in the dining room every day, this was the first time she actually came to the main hall of the mansion.

The entire hall was magnificent, with all the luxury that it possessed. It was likely that even the best decorations of the Yakie Hotel would pale in comparison.

In the middle of the hall was a white European sofa, with a heavy vermilion carpet
