SORROW

CHAPTER 201 - THE HOUSEHOLD STYLE OF THE MARQUIS HOUSE OF PINGNAN

Noticing everyone's gaze, Huangpu Dongmei stopped sobbing. She glanced up at Wah, then looked down in panic.

The third wife did not notice Wah's cold face as she hugged his thighs and cried, General, this daughter of mine has been doted on by three thousand people since she was young. She has never suffered any grievances! But I didn't expect... Unexpectedly … My daughter has been married into the general's house for many days and is still a virgin! Let me ask you, General, where is my daughter not able to serve? You will do this to her! "

He was a virgin! As soon as these words were spoken, Huangpu Xiande and Qingwu were indescribably shocked. Huangpu Dongmei stood there with her head lowered, her body trembling like a sugar sieve in the wind. Qingwu couldn't help but feel sympathy for Huangpu Dongmei. Even though she had always been bullied and targeted by Huangpu Dongmei, it was lamentable enough for a daughter to marry someone she didn't love for the sake of her family. The most tragic thing was that the person she married didn't have any feelings for her, and didn't even want to touch her.

It had been quite some time since Huangpu Dongmei had married into the general's estate. In this period of time, Weihe hadn't even dared to touch her. From this, it could be seen how much he disliked her.

Third Madam, if you knew earlier, you wouldn't have done what you did. Wah said coldly, In the past, have you ever taught your daughter how to serve her husband? How to serve others? The rules of my General's Estate are like an iron bucket that cannot be defied. Since your daughter has become the mistress of this manor, she should clean herself and abide by the rules of this manor. You should remember everything you have to say, especially what your husband has to say, right?

As Wah spoke, he fixed his cold eyes on Huangpu Dongmei. Veins popped out from his forehead. It was clear that this cold-faced general was on the verge of extreme anger.

General, this is your fault. Qingwu couldn't bear to continue watching and couldn't help but speak up for Huangpu Dongmei.

As soon as she opened her mouth, she successfully focused Wah's attention on her. Under the gaze of those ice-cold pupils, Qingwu was still as calm and unafraid as before. She used her clear and bright eyes to look back at Wah's cold eyes, instantly dissolving the condensed air.

However, you are just a mere servant girl. It is not your turn to speak. He narrowed his eyes, and they were filled with a hint of killing intent.

Sensing Wah's obvious killing intent, Huangpu Xiande hurriedly pulled Qingwu behind him, using his own body to protect her. Qingwu secretly squeezed Huangpu Xiande's palm, indicating that he did not need to worry. Qingwu stepped out from behind Huangpu Xiande, using her fearless eyes to meet Weir's.

General, everyone knows that the general is someone who values his feelings and feelings. Wouldn't this leave a trail for outsiders to talk about? What's more, although the Marquis of Pinnacle's family wasn't as good as the general's family, they weren't that far off, and could be said to be the perfect match. Regardless of how much benefits there were in this marriage, since the general had already entered the sect, he should treat her well. No matter how unruly and headstrong Fourth Miss is, she is still a woman. As a woman, her mind is always sensitive. Wouldn't General do this to push Fourth Miss onto a dead end?

How dare you teach me a lesson! Wah said coldly.

This servant dares not. Qingwu lowered her head in fear.

Heh, don't dare? Your words and actions just now are obviously blaming me for leaving your Fourth Miss in the cold, aren't they? As Wah spoke, he turned his gaze to the silent Huangpu Xiande. Look at that good slave of yours. Could it be that the House of the Marquis of Pingnan has abandoned its sense of justice and honor?

Huangpu Xian De smiled and said, General's words are too serious. We are both women, but Qingwu has only felt it through her own heart, so she forgot that she has overstepped her boundaries. I hope General does not remember this lowly person, so forgive Qingwu this time.

Humph! Wach snorted coldly, not saying another word.

General, since the general's estate has formed an alliance, he's afraid that his actions will be detrimental to the alliance. If anyone knows about this, this will become his weakness. If General still trusts the House of the Marquis of Pinnan, I hope that you will consider the matter with my fourth sister carefully. Otherwise, you can treat today's matter as if it had not happened, and treat it as you wish." Huangpu Xian put the pros and cons on the table. On the surface, he seemed to respect Wah and allowed him to choose on his own. However, he didn't force him.

Heh, the Marquis' Mansion is indeed filled with talented people. Not only is it a little servant girl, but she can also speak many things. Even the duke of Pingnan has a glib tongue.

Wah! Sighing, he lowered his eyes to look at the third wife and asked, Third wife, how long do you want to kneel? "

The third wife was frightened by Wah's cold voice and shivered. However, she still held on tightly to Wah's thigh and did not let go. She had made up her mind that as long as Wah didn't treat her daughter any better, she would just kneel like that until she died. Seeing the determined look on the third wife's face, Qingwu sighed in her heart. Although the third wife usually did not care about the consequences of being in a position of power, she absolutely loved and doted upon her son and daughter, especially upon Huangpu Dongmei. This was the reason why she raised such a domineering and arrogant young miss.

General, I think that the third lady loves her daughter very much. If the general does not agree to be nicer to the fourth lady in the future, I'm afraid the third lady will not get up. Qingwu whispered.

Wah! He raised his eyebrows. The people of the House of the Marquis really liked to threaten people, but how could he be so easily threatened? However, what Huangpu Xiande had said to him just now had indeed caused him to feel a bit more worried. It didn't matter as long as he sacrificed some of his men so as to bring down the Prime Minister.

Well, I'll be nicer to her in the future. Now you should be satisfied with Third Madam, right? Wich lowered his head and stared coldly at the third wife as he spoke.

Upon hearing Wah's words, Third Madam hastily stood up. However, because he had knelt for too long, his legs were numb, and when he stood up, he was in too much of a hurry. He could not help but turn around and fall to the side. Qingwu hastily stepped forward to support her, but Third Wife didn't expect her to be ungrateful. She waved her hand in disgust and limped to the side, standing firmly under Huangpu Dongmei's support.

Qingwu wanted to extend her hand to help, but her hand froze in the air. She awkwardly took back her hand, she really didn't know how to repay her kindness!

Alright, you guys should still have a lot to do. Wah turned to face the others.

Huangpu Xian De and Qingwu looked at each other, they understood what Weihe meant, so they quickly took their leave and left the general's manor together. The third lady had originally wanted to stay a little longer, but under Wah's icy gaze, she could only leave the manor with Huangpu Xiande and the others.

CHAPTER 202 - ENCHANTMENT

After the three of them had left the general's manor, the third lady had long since put away her previous image of mourning for her mother, and had changed into another ice-cold face. Even though Huangpu Xiande and Qingwu had pleaded for her, she didn't feel the slightest bit of gratitude in her heart. Instead, she coldly said, It really is weasel wishing chicken a new year!

With that, he left Huangpu Xiande and the rest behind as he turned his waist and walked towards a carriage parked by the side of the road. Qingwu looked at the third wife's back as she suddenly revealed a sly smile. She shouted at the third wife's back, Third wife, it's not good for you to just admit that you're a chicken!

Third Wife staggered and turned around with a pale face. She pointed at Qingwu with a trembling finger and couldn't say anything for a long time.

Huangpu Xiande gave Qingwu a warning glance, hinting her not to be too naughty, otherwise, it would be hard to deal with. All the women in the House of the Marquis of Pingnan were not to be trifled with.

Qingwu pursed her lips and lowered her head in apology. Recently, she had indeed been a little too pleased with herself. With the favor of Huangpu Xiande, she had been a little fearless. She would definitely pay attention to this in the future, Qingwu thought to herself.

In order to get close to the Prime Minister, Qingwu had purposely returned to the Fragrant Pavilion that she worked in before.

Aiyo! Miss, why did you come back? " When the old procuress of the Fragrant Pavilion saw Qingwu, her face fell. That's right, Qingwu was the top player here when she changed her name, and she also earned a lot of money for her. However, she found out about Qingwu's true identity and came back from time to time to gather information. This made the old procuress suffer. For example, last time when this Qingwu came back to collect information on her phone, she had met Huangpu Xian as soon as she stepped out of the door. Huangpu Xian was also heavily injured by her and had lost a hand ever since. At that time, the furious Third Wife of the Marquis of Pinnan had come over to seal her Fragrant Pavilion for a few days. Thinking about it now, the old procuress still had lingering fear, so she wanted to get away from this god of pests.

Mom, can't I come back and earn money for you? Qingwu said with a sweet smile.

Oh, my little ancestor! You have earned a lot for me, but you have also brought me quite a bit of misfortune! I beg of you, can you go to another store? Just let me go!" The old procuress pleaded with a mournful expression.

Mom, it's not good at all if it's not your store! Qingwu said with a smile.

When the old procuress heard Qingwu's words, she whispered into Qingwu's ear, Lady, are the targets of the court officials again?

Guess. With a mysterious smile, Qingwu took out a few silver ingots from her bosom and stuffed them into the bawd's hands. The old procuress weighed the silver in her hand, looking hesitant. The silver was tempting, but he needed to live a happy life.

Qingwu grabbed the bawd's hand and pushed a golden brick into it. This golden brick caused the old procuress's eyes to light up. This golden brick was much more valuable than silver.

The old procuress quickly stored the golden bricks into her bosom and immediately put on a flattering smile as she invited Qingwu into the Fragrant Pavilion. Seeing the bawdy look on the old procuress's face, Qingwu sneered and followed her into the Fragrant Pavilion. Before sneaking into the Fragrant Pavilion, Qingwu had already found out that the Prime Minister Shang Yi would definitely come to the Fragrant Pavilion. In order to make sufficient preparations for Qingwu on this day, she had to pick up the dances that she had given up for a long time, and also hone her makeup and charms.

A few days passed just like that, and it was finally the fifteenth day. Qingwu had changed into a light muslin dancing dress. The faintly discernible muslin made Qingwu's graceful body seem even more charming and attractive. An exquisite makeup was painted on her beautiful and unparalleled face, and her face was covered with a thin veil. Qingwu looked at herself in the mirror with satisfaction. This way, even Huangpu Xiande wouldn't be able to recognize her, let alone the Prime Minister, who she had only met once or twice.

After Qingwu had finished dressing herself, she walked out of the dressing room and met the envious and jealous gazes of the Fragrant Pavilion sisters. Qingwu completely ignored them. Her current thoughts were only on the target that hadn't appeared yet. Qingwu was arranged to be the last one to go on stage. She hid behind the curtain and quietly opened a corner to search the audience. Sure enough, the quest was found in a seat in the front row.

Suddenly, her smile disappeared, and her gaze fell upon a man who was sitting rather than the prime minister's seat. The man wore the clothes made of brocade. His face was as white as jade, and his black hair that was like a waterfall had been tied back with a blue headband. The man stared at the dancing figure on the stage with a warm smile on his face.

Yes. Why did he come as well? Qingwu almost had a headache as she caressed her forehead. When she had decided to come to Fragrant Pavilion, Huangpu Xian had been the most against it, but Qingwu had still used her coquettish and adorable method to force him to not submit obediently. However, she didn't expect that this Huangpu Xiande would also come to this place. Seeing Huangpu Xiande stare at his daughter who was dancing onstage like an idiot, Qingwu's heart was in turmoil and she felt extremely uncomfortable.

Suddenly, out of the corner of her eyes, Qingwu glanced at the beam above the stage. The dark figure with long sleeves and the fox mask made her expression turn even uglier.

F * ck me! Even the bodyguards had been sent! How could he not believe me!

Qingwu lowered the curtain and sulked on the side. The old procuress thought that Qingwu was afraid to go on stage so she quickly came over to comfort her. In this way, the sisters who were going to fight made her laugh even more. She didn't have the slightest bit of courage, so she shouldn't be scared to the point that her legs would go limp in front of the officials later.

Qingwu couldn't be bothered to care about them as she waited for her appearance. The veil fluttered in the air, as if she was a fairy that had fallen into the mortal world. With a single move of her hands and a single step, a bright light flashed in her eyes. Her graceful dance steps instantly caught the attention of everyone below the stage. Especially the Prime Minister, whose eyes shone brightly.

As for Huangpu Xian, he slightly creased his brow. Although he was doing this to save someone, when he saw his woman acting so coquettishly in front of another man, which man would feel comfortable in their hearts? The dark shadow of the night, which was hidden on the stage's beam, watched the graceful dance from the stage as an indescribable emotion flashed in his dark eyes.

Back then, he and Qingwu's partner had also been hiding in this place, watching Qingwu's performance on the stage. At that time, although he was a puppet trained by Yi Lian, a person who didn't understand love, he was still in this place, lost in that beautiful dance, captivated by it.

Qingwu was attentively dancing on the stage, her eyes were not idle either. While she was dancing, she threw a few flirtatious glances at the Prime Minister, and in order for the Prime Minister to take the bait faster, Qingwu even imitated Fifth Wife's coquetry and sent Qiubo off the stage.

As expected, the prime minister seemed to sense something soon after. He frowned slightly as his eyes that were like a goldfish bubble stared at Qingwu greedily. The corner of Qingwu's lips slightly raised, she knew that the time to rein in the net had come.

CHAPTER 203 - BEAUTY SCHEMING

After the dance ended, Qingwu returned to the back of the stage. The audience was thunderously cheering for Qingwu to sing another song. Meanwhile, the Prime Minister Shang Yi stood up and impatiently walked towards the backstage. After the Merchant Shop left, Huangpu Xiande, who had been observing their movements, followed closely. Night Shadow and the Dark Guard Little Fox, who were hidden on the beam, followed Qingwu to the backstage.

Not long after Qingwu returned to the backstage, Shang Yi opened the curtain and walked in. Upon seeing this, the old procuress of the Fragrant Pavilion immediately went over to the Prime Minister Merchant House with a face full of smiles.

Oh, isn't this the Prime Minister!? How could you come to the backstage! The old procuress smiled flirtatiously and patted Shang Yi's shoulder coquettishly.

Shang Yi laughed, her eyes that were as swollen as a goldfish bubble stared straight at Qingwu who was sitting in front of the dressing table. Qingwu purposely turned her head away from him, occasionally glancing at the merchant, lowering her head with a charming smile. This smile took away the soul of the merchant. He rubbed his hands and laughed until the wrinkles on his face appeared.

The bawd saw all of this. Although there was a smile on her face, her back was already soaked with sweat. Her body was trembling so badly that she could barely stand.

Cheng... Honored prime minister, it's not good for you to barge in like this, please leave. The old procuress summoned up her courage and said. She went up to push the merchant, intending to push her out. Although she knew that Qingwu's target was an imperial court official, she didn't expect that this official was too big. The old procuress groaned in her heart. If she had known earlier, she wouldn't have agreed. If such a large official died in her shop, would she still be alive? If she saved the Prime Minister's life now, she might even receive a reward in the future.

Therefore, the old procuress used all her strength and did not have the time to clash with the court officials. She only wanted to pull this high official away from her. Understanding the bawd's thoughts, a cold light flashed across Qingwu's eyes. With a flip of her palm, a Shadow Needle appeared in her palm, ready to stab out at any moment.

Oh, you old mother! Don't spoil my business, get lost! She forgot who she was at first sight, so how could she be so easily dismissed by the bawd? He suddenly pushed the old procuress away and pounced towards Qingwu with a wretched smile. Gently dancing with a sweet smile, she calmly turned around to avoid the attack of the merchant.

Prime Minister, you're really impatient. You really scared me to death! Qingwu pretended to pat her chest.

Hehe, interesting! Shang Yi straightened his appearance and said arrogantly: Listen, I am the prime minister of the imperial court. I can do whatever I want. Lady Wu, you just follow me and eat nice and spicy food. You don't have to bother with these stinking men anymore!"

You're one of those stinking men! Qingwu lowered her head and purposely sighed, Wu'er thanks the Prime Minister for his sympathy, but I cannot leave the Fragrant Pavilion. Wu'er still needs to find elder sister.

You have a sister? Shang Yi asked in shock.

Qingwu nodded. She lowered her head to hide her flickering gaze and pretended to be sad as she said, My sister and I have been separated since we were young. The only clue I have is that I heard someone say that my sister had appeared near this flower street, so I came here, hoping that we would meet again one day.

Isn't it just looking for someone? I'll just help you! Shang Yi patted her chest and said proudly, This capital is my territory, it's not hard to find someone. Does Miss Wu'er have a portrait of your sister?

I happen to have one here. Qingwu smiled as she picked up the already prepared scroll from the table and gave it to Shang Yi. Shang Yi opened the scroll and looked at it. During this time, Qingwu quietly watched Shang Yi's expression. Seeing that Shang Yi's expression was getting worse, Qingwu knew that this big fish had already taken the bait.

Prime Minister, what's wrong? Qingwu couldn't help but ask when she saw Shang Yi in a daze.

No, nothing. That's it... It's kind of familiar. Shang Yi covered his guilt with a smile.

With an affectionate expression, she tilted her head and sobbed softly, Prime Minister, if you can help me find my elder sister, I would be willing to be your slave to repay your kindness.

Seeing that the beauty was crying so much, Shang Yi's heart ached for Qingwu. He smiled and said: Beautiful girl, you have made my heart break. However, don't worry. As long as you obey me, I will immediately bring you to your sister."

Qingwu endured the nausea, tears welled up in her eyes. She cried with joy: Really? Then Wu'er will stay here and thank the Prime Minister."

Haha. The Prime Minister laughed out loud. Suddenly, he smiled evilly and caressed Qingwu's tender cheeks. He said with a hoarse voice, Beautiful girl, the Spring Festival Gala is worth a thousand gold coins. We … Hehe!

Qingwu's face turned red as she smiled coquettishly at Shang Yi. Her soft hands held onto her rough hands as she walked towards her room.

The old procuress of the Fragrant Pavilion was kneeling on the ground. She watched as the merchant was pulled away by Qingwu as she mumbled to herself, We're finished! We're finished!"

At this moment, Night Shadow and Little Fox, who were hiding in the rafters, also jumped down. Night Shadow struck the back of the old procuress's body with his hand. The old procuress rolled her eyes and fainted.

Don't kill her? She knows too much. The little fox reminded him coldly from the side.

No, she can't die yet. Night Shadow indifferently replied.

Kill anyone, but not this old bawd. Because she still needed to gather information for them, and she wasn't afraid that they would leak it. This old procuress had traveled in the martial arts world for many years, and she was a smart person. Now she was even on the same ship as them, so there was no need to worry about her rebelling and giving them away.

Before their departure, Qingwu had told Night Shadow these words. However, only Qingwu herself knew that she also had her own selfish motives. It was the culprit that caused her to be annihilated six years ago. She still needed to use this old procuress to gather information, so this old procuress definitely could not die.

After knocking out the old procuress, Night Shadow and the others followed closely behind Qingwu and the others as they arrived in front of the girls' rooms. The other girls were so scared that they hid in their own rooms, not daring to come out. Night Shadow and the others approached Qingwu's room and saw that the door was shut tight. There was no sound coming from the inside. Night Shadow was filled with suspicion. He placed his hand on the door frame and gently pushed. The door opened with a creak.

There were layers upon layers of muslin curtains in the room, and a wisp of delicate fragrance wafted in the air. Night Shadow furrowed his brows. He recognized that this was the rosemary from the Shadow Pavilion. Anyone who heard it would be able to fall into a deep slumber for twelve hours.

Hold your breath. He was the first to hold his breath, and then he lifted the veil, walking step by step inside. Although the little fox that was a dark guard didn't know where this fragrance came from, it still felt that it was strange. Thus, after hearing Night Shadow's warning, it hurriedly held its breath.

When they lifted the last layer of the curtain, they saw that Qingwu had already changed out of her light and thin dress and changed into a skirt made of water. She sat in front of the dressing table, facing the mirror, and coldly looked at Night Shadow and the others as they barged in.

CHAPTER 204 - OBSESSION

Night Shadow glanced at the silent Qingwu, then coldly swept his gaze over her. He saw Shang Ying lying unconscious on the bed. Night Shadow let out a soft sigh and asked, You succeeded?

Qingwu nodded as she stood up to look at the unconscious Merchant Shop with eyes full of disgust. The old pervert had used his claws to support her shoulder just now, and the thought of Qingwu sent a chill down his spine.

He'll have to sleep for at least twelve hours before he wakes up. Forget about him, let's head back first. We'll come see him after twelve hours. As Qingwu said this, she walked out of the room. Night Shadow and Little Fox also left the room which was filled with the fragrance of rosmarines, closing the door behind them.

Before leaving, Qingwu told the old procuress to leave her a bag of silver. The old procuress held a heavy bag of silver in her hands, a smile blossoming on her face. The worry and fear from earlier vanished like smoke in thin air. Afterwards, Qingwu left the Fragrant Pavilion through the back door, and Huangpu Shinde had already prepared a carriage to wait for her for a long time. Huangpu Xiande and Qingwu sat together in the carriage. Night Shadow acted as the coachman, swinging the horsewhip as he drove the carriage towards the Marquis' Mansion.

As for the secret guard, Little Fox, he would first return to the general's estate to report.

In the general's manor, Wei He heard the report of the Dark Guard's little fox, and his lips curled up into a faint smile.

Interesting! This woman is indeed not simple. No wonder Huangpu Xian thought of her as a treasure!

As she spoke, Qingwu followed Huangpu Xiande back to the house of the Marquis of Pingnan. Along the way, Qingwu carefully peeked at Huangpu Xian's expression. Huangpu Xiande's eyes were fixed in front of him, his expression was indifferent, one couldn't tell if he was happy or angry. It was because she couldn't see through it that Qingwu was so nervous. For some reason, the adult Huangpu Xiande no longer had the gentleness of his youth, but instead had a trace of calmness and coldness. Sometimes, even Qingwu would know what he was thinking, so she would seem very nervous.

It was really useless! In any case, you were a hitman in your previous life, what are you so nervous about facing an ancient man? Qingwu let out a faint sigh. Actually, she knew. It was because she cared that she was worried and nervous, wasn't it?

As Huangpu Xiande and Qingwu stepped into the manor's courtyard, a slender white figure came out to welcome them.

Xiangqin greets the marquis. He walked up to Huangpu Xiande and bowed politely. When he stood up, he inadvertently glanced at Qingwu, and the coldness in her eyes caused her to shiver slightly.

Qingwu smiled wryly to herself. This Xiang Qin was really very persistent towards Huangpu Xiande. The other women who liked Huang Puti simply couldn't compare to her obsession. However, Qingwu was also slightly worried, if a person was too stubborn, they would easily fall into the demonic path and lose their humanity. At that time, no one could predict what they would do.

Huangpu Xiande glanced at her indifferently and nodded. He didn't say anything as he walked straight to his study. When Xiang Qin saw this, she hurriedly followed.

Master Hou, I know you are very tired. I've made you a bowl of soup to mend your body. Can I bring it over for you?"

Ah, alright. Huangpu Xian didn't even turn his head as he lightly said.

Xiang Qin's face revealed joy as she quickly said loudly, Master Hou, please wait. I'll go bring it to you right now.

As he walked towards the zither, he even glanced at Qingwu complacently.

Qingwu was speechless. She glared at Huangpu Xiande's back before turning to leave, returning to her own room.

Where are you going?

As the cold voice sounded, Qingwu turned around. Huangpu Xiande was frowning as he looked at her.

Who cares where I go! In any case, you have a beauty like Qin accompanying you, so who cares about what I do.

Huangpu Xiande's face sank as he ordered, Come with me!

The moment Qingwu's stubborn temper appeared, she fiercely glared at Huangpu Xiande, turned around, and prepared to leave. Huangpu Xiande strode to Qingwu's side, picked her up by the waist and walked towards the study.

Hey, quickly put me down! Qingwu shouted out from Huangpu Xiande's arms.

Huangpu Xian's face was cold, as he ignored the struggling and yelling of the person in his arms.

Night Shadow, save me! Seeing that Huangpu Xiande was unmoved, Qingwu hastily turned to Night Shadow, who had been watching the situation unfold, and didn't want to lend a helping hand.

Night Shadow coldly watched as Huangpu Xiande carried him away. He then turned around and with a leap, disappeared from the courtyard. Qingwu stretched out her begging hands and froze in midair. Her face was full of black lines. F * ck, could it be that she had been abandoned by her partner?

Huangpu Xiande carried Qingwu into the study. He placed her on the chair he usually sat on and looked down at her. Being looked down at from above, Qingwu nervously shrank back on her chair, pouting with a wronged expression on her face.

Seeing that Qingwu was acting so cute, Huangpu Xiande was slightly stunned. Immediately, the ice mountain melted and he let out a laugh, revealing a familiar smile on his face.

Elder Brother Kenji, you don't have to be angry. Qingwu blinked as she looked up at Huangpu Xiande.

Huangpu Xian sighed, he extended his hand and pinched Qingwu's small nose, and said: Actually, I haven't been angry at all, I just feel very unreconciled. I should have protected you forever, but I kept putting you in danger, and all I could do was watch from afar. Due to my identity, I can't even be like Night Shadow and stay by your side. I feel very unreconciled and disgusted with myself.

Elder Brother Kenji, do you think that Qingwu is the kind of bird that would willingly be reared in a Golden Silk Bird Cage? Qingwu pouted and said in disdain.

Huangpu Xian De looked at Qingwu, smiled and shook his head.

Elder Brother Kenji, I don't want to keep chasing after you. I want to walk beside you, just like you want to protect me. I want to protect you too. Is Qingwu not qualified to stay by Elder Brother Kant's side?" Qingwu softly said as she wrapped her arms around Huangpu Xiande's neck.

Huangpu Xiande's heart skipped a beat. His eyes gradually darkened as he said in a low, hoarse voice, From the first time I saw you, the spot beside me was reserved for you.

Before she finished her sentence, her warm lips were already covered with a tender red one. The person in the study room was gentle and sweet, but the person outside the study room had long been heartbroken.

Xiang Qin stood outside the study with the bowl of soup in her hand, her face pale. The look in her eyes kept changing, whether it was jealousy, hatred, or sadness … Xiang Qin's hand that was carrying the soup constantly trembled. She bit her lower lip with her teeth. She bit down so deeply and so hard that she bit open her lips. Even if she bit her lips, she didn't know that blood was seeping out.

Hearing the low moans in the study, Xiang Qin's heart was filled with mixed emotions. She stood stiffly in the study room for a moment, then turned around and slowly walked away like a soulless puppet, one step at a time.

Not far from the study, on a large tree, Night Shadow squatted on a bare branch. His cold eyes were fixed on Qin Yan's departing back.

CHAPTER 205 - GROPING

In a secluded room, the scent of rosemary had already dissipated, and the muslin curtain had been completely retracted. At first glance, it looked like a young girl's ordinary room, while on the bed, a man was lying on it, snoring loudly. Her snow-white fingers held a white feather and brushed against the side of the man's nose. The man's nose twitched a little. The man seemed to find the feather annoying. He turned over and hugged the blanket before continuing to sleep.

Qingwu's eyebrows were the same, it seemed like her Fragrant Pavilion bed really made people sleep comfortably. It had already been 24 hours and the rosary fragrance had dissipated, but Shang Yi was still unwilling to wake up. Was the medicinal properties too strong?

The corner of Qingwu's mouth lifted as she sneered. She didn't believe it. Qingwu took out a few centimeters long needle from her bosom. The needle was thin and sharp. Qingwu held the thin needle in her hand and quietly used her hidden strength, and suddenly stabbed it into the fatty's neck.

Ouch! Shang Yi suddenly shouted, and Qingwu immediately took out a thin needle to hide. He then pretended to be concerned and sat beside Shang Yi, calling out softly: Prime Minister! Prime Minister!

Shang Yi sat up from the bed with a confused face. He covered the wound on his neck with his hands and was confused.

Prime Minister, what's wrong? Did you have a nightmare? " Qingwu asked with concern.

No …. It's fine. Shang Yi was in a trance, he did not know how he looked today. He got up from the bed, and Qingwu quickly took his coat and put it on him intimately.

Prime Minister, do you still remember what happened last night? Qingwu lightly said as she lowered her head with a shy face, looking like a young woman who had just met someone.

Ha … I remember! The merchant laughed loudly, but he was feeling regretful in his heart. He had finally gotten the beauty last night, but he couldn't remember anything about the storm at all. What a pity. Shang Yi couldn't help but imagine the seductive white body that struggled under his body last night. Just the imagination alone was enough to make his blood boil. Shang Yi giggled, she made a gesture to hug Qingwu, Qingwu dodged to the side, she lowered her head and smiled: Prime Minister, from last night, Dancing is your man. Now, can the Prime Minister honor your promise to Wu'er last night and help Wu'er find her elder sister?

Such a small matter, for the sake of my little beauty, of course there won't be a problem. Shang Yi laughed mischievously as he led Qingwu out of the Fragrant Pavilion. They called for a carriage and sat on it together.

Little beauty, let's go find your sister now. Shang Yi chuckled, his hand tightly holding onto Qingwu's hand without letting go, his rough palm constantly stroking the back of her white and soft hand. Qingwu smiled, the corner of her mouth slightly twitched. God knows how much she wanted to pull her hand away from those claws now. But she couldn't do it yet. She could only bear with it.

The carriage drove out of the city gate, avoiding the official road as it walked along the mountain trails filled with trees. A strong black figure followed the carriage as it passed by. After walking for an unknown amount of time, the carriage stopped at the entrance of a cave. Qingwu jumped out of the carriage and looked at the mysterious cave before her. Her lips slightly curled up. Indeed, it was as she had expected. The Fifth Madam must be in this cave.

Thinking of this, Qingwu purposely put on a scared expression and cried out, Lord Prime Minister, just where is this place? What did you bring me here for?

Didn't you want to find elder sister? Shang Yi laughed coldly. He gave a meaningful glance to the two guards guarding the entrance of the cave, the guards opened up a path for them to enter the cave. The prime minister held onto Qingwu's hand as they walked into the depths of the cave. Afterwards, the guards continued to stand at the entrance of the cave, carrying out their duties and forbidding anyone from approaching.

In a snow-covered bush near the cave entrance, Night Shadow secretly peeked his head out to observe the cave entrance. He frowned slightly, his expressionless face showing traces of irritation and unease. Now that Qingwu had entered the cave, no one knew what the situation inside was, and he couldn't go in either. If he couldn't follow inside, then how could he protect Qingwu? Suddenly, a wave of helplessness caused Night Shadow to become restless. He really wanted to charge out and knock the guard out before forcing him into the cave. However, when he thought of Qingwu who was alone in the enemy's formation, he had to endure for now. He couldn't let his impulsive actions destroy his overall plan.

As she spoke, Qingwu followed the merchant and entered the cave. Only then did she discover that there was a completely different world within the cave. He saw that the cave was very spacious. There was a kerosene lamp embedded in the wall of the cave at intervals, and the flickering candlelight illuminated everything in the cave. This cave seemed to be very deep, and after walking along the road, he didn't see anyone else. Qingwu was so nervous that her heart almost reached her throat. She quietly swallowed her saliva and hid the Shadow Needle in her hand to prevent any accidents.

After walking for an unknown length of time, the view before him suddenly became clear. After walking through the long passageway, they arrived at a spacious room. This room was the same as the one before. There was a kerosene lamp embedded in the wall, so under the light, Qingwu could clearly see everything in the cave. She also saw the woman lying on the straw with her hands tied up and her eyes covered.

Qingwu's heart skipped a beat as she suppressed her anger. Although there was only her and Shang Yi here and this old pervert was definitely not as skilled as her, but she wasn't sure if there were any traps in this cave. Under this layer of worry, Qingwu could only endure and not move.

Prime Minister, what's going on? Qingwu pretended to be surprised as she asked.

Look closely at who this is? Shang Yi said proudly.

Qingwu carefully walked forward and pulled off the strip of cloth covering the woman's eyes, revealing a pair of hate filled eyes. When the pair of beautiful eyes saw Qingwu, they revealed a trace of doubt and fear. Her lips moved as if she wanted to say something, but no words came out.

Prime Minister, why is my sister here? Qingwu pretended to be shocked.

Shang Yi revealed a vicious expression and said, Actually, your sister is my tenth wife, adding you, there are 11. As long as the two of you serve me wholeheartedly, I will not treat you unfairly. Hahaha!"

Fifth Wife's face was full of fear. She looked at Qingwu and shook her head. Then she looked at Qingwu with pleading eyes, indicating for her to quickly
