C151

In the Pear Blossom House.

After Qiao Qiao sent He Ming You away with a few words, she began to examine Qingwu's injuries with a serious face.

His flesh and blood were overturned, whip scars covered his arms, and Qiao Qiao was still full of regret, it seemed that the Demon Sprite's usual grudges against her had been added to Qingwu today, and ever since Qingwu had followed her, the various large and small punishments she had received had been incalculable. Yesterday, her old injuries had not left, but today when her new injuries were being filled up, besides being grateful, she also felt a deep sense of remorse.

"Miss, your servant is fine." Qingwu looked at Qiao Qiao's eyes that were filled with self-blame. She grinned and laughed softly, and could not help but comfort him.

"Silly girl." Qiao once again pursed his lips and smiled helplessly.

"Today, there was no danger and it did not involve you." Qingwu let out a relieved chuckle. She had already thought that if today's matter became serious and involved the lady, she would take all the crimes and accept it.

"Today, not letting the Sprite cripple its own martial arts is actually …" Qiao Qiao had originally promised Qingwu that he would make the demon suffer a hundred times more, but he hadn't expected that she would accept it.

"Miss doesn't need to say anymore, this servant understands. Since this servant has helped Miss with this matter, I will take the martial arts of the Demon Sprite to repay his kindness." She carefully thought about it afterwards, and feared that Qi Mei was making some excuse to save the two of them. Since that was the case, it would be good for the young lady to repay him with a favor, "Moreover, with a staff for fifty years, the punishment for becoming a demon is already a very big punishment for the Sprite Demon."

"Right." Qiao Qiao still secretly lowered his eyes and lightly responded with a nod.

"Young lady …" Qingwu looked at Qiao Qiao's still appearance and suddenly opened her mouth, but was unable to speak. There were some words that she knew, but she didn't know if she should speak them truthfully to this girl.

"What's wrong?" Qiao Qiao could still see that Qingwu wanted to say something but hesitated. Since she had something to say, she couldn't help but gently laugh and slowly ask.

"Actually, when I went to Lord Shen's residence that day, I found out about something …" The sounds of Qingwu became softer and softer, until it was as soft as the moaning of a mosquito.

"Hmm? "What is it?" Qiao Qiao suddenly raised his eyebrows and faintly felt that the reason Qingwu had such an unspeakable appearance was likely because of Yan Mo Chen.

"Yes …" "Yes …" Qingwu stuttered, and occasionally raised her head to look at Qiao Qiao's expression. Finally, she bit her lower lip and said, "It's about the Lord Regent …"

Qiao Qiao's heart still skipped a beat. It was clear that she missed a beat. She knew that there must be something about Yan Mo Chen. "It's time to call for the Emperor, right?" She laughed out loud.

"Lady …" "Don't be too sad, if you tell the king the truth in the future, the king will definitely understand you …" Qingwu looked at Qiao Qiao's still dazed appearance and couldn't help but comfort him. She knew, no matter if it was the Demon Lord or the devils, no matter how good they were to the girl, they would never be able to match the Prince's smile.

"Whatever, let's not talk about that anymore. I do not need his understanding. Besides, even if he understands me, I'm afraid that it will be very difficult for me to forgive him." Qiao Qiao still lowered her eyes. That's right, she was unable to forgive a traitor who snatched her away and killed her loyal subjects!

"Lady …" Qingwu slowly called out.

"What happened to him?" Qiao Qiao gently caressed Qingwu's shoulder as he wrapped her arm and asked softly.

"Ten days later... It's the day of his wedding. " Qingwu was flabbergasted, she had finally said everything.

Qiao Qiao's hand still paused, causing Qingwu's wound to suddenly hurt. She pursed her lips, but didn't dare to make a sound.

"Miss, do you want to tell the Regent the truth?" Qingwu frowned slightly as she spoke to Qiao Qiao.

Qiao Qiao still shook his head and then shook it. He couldn't help but laugh. "There's no need …"

"Miss, perhaps the Regent has announced that the grand wedding ten days from now will be to lure Miss away." Qingwu spoke again.

Qiao Qiao still shook his head and didn't say anything. He bent down and carefully bandaged Qingwu once again.

"Miss, are you sure you don't want to take a look?" Qingwu was still unwilling to give up as she asked.

"Who is he getting married to?" Qiao Qiao's tone remained indifferent and her expression was calm. However, the fleeting haste in her words exposed her inner thoughts.

"Minister Jiang's direct daughter, Jiang Lanxin." Qingwu slowly said with drooping eyebrows.

"Oh, Jiang Lanxin …"

"Miss!" When Qingwu saw that Qiao Qiao was still repeating it indifferently, she couldn't help but say again, "You really don't …"

"No need to say anymore." Qiao Qiao anxiously interrupted Qingwu's persuasion. He raised his head and forced a smile, "I'm done bandaging. I'm returning to the inner courtyard."

"Miss!" Qingwu looked at Qiao Qiao's lonely figure and couldn't help but cry out once more. She originally thought she could use the prince's wedding to arouse the jealousy in the young lady, but she didn't expect the young lady to be so plain. Could it be that the young lady and the young prince wouldn't be able to return to the past?

Sigh. Qingwu let out a small sigh as she looked at the carefully wrapped up arm of her young lady. She couldn't help but feel her heart warm up.

Within the inner courtyard of Pear Blossom House, Qiao Qiao was still sitting upright on the table with a teacup in her hand tightly clenched. The tea in the cup was trembling and almost spilled, but her eyes were empty, completely unaware.

Who knew that Yan Mo Chen was going to be married to the Jiang family's direct daughter … That time in the teahouse, he was not acting on his own, but was acting from the bottom of his heart. What 'a pair for life', 'the only thing I need in this life is you', 'I will not marry', but they were all just words that came out of love back then. When he woke up from his dream, everything was the past.

"Clang!" At the door, the crisp sound of glass breaking interrupted Qiao Qiao's sorrowful thoughts. She straightened her clothes, then quietly put down the teacup in her hand before calling out to the door:

"Xiu Luan, come in."

"Yes, my lady." At the entrance, Xiu Luan frantically picked up the glass shards from the ground and walked inside the house.

"Put it there. I have something to ask you." Qiao Qiao was still looking at the glass fragment in Xiu Luan's hand as he spoke softly.

"Yes." Xiu Luan placed the tea tray to the side and stood quietly in front of Qiao Qiao with a puzzled expression. She felt a faint unease in her heart and wondered what matter this lady had to attend to.

"Did you already know that the thief that broke into the secret chamber yesterday was me?" Joe suddenly asked with a frown, his cold brows devoid of any warmth.

Xiu Luan was slightly startled and stood blankly on the spot. Her eyes met Qiao Qiao as she opened her mouth, but no sound came out.

"Yesterday night, after the Demon Sprite left, you went to the inner courtyard and overheard my conversation with Qingwu?" Qiao Qiao's eyes were still full of suspicion as he looked at Xiu Luan with a hint of coldness.

Xiu Luan's expression stiffened. "Putong!" She knelt on the ground and faced Qiao Qiao while trembling, "Please forgive me young lady, this servant did not intentionally eavesdrop, this servant only …"

"You only suspect me and want to verify it with your own eyes?" Qiao Qiao still took the unfinished words from Xiu Luan and raised his eyebrows.

Xiu Luan's body trembled. She could not help but lean forward a little and whispered, "Miss, your servant is at fault. Please punish me."

Qiao once again remained silent for a moment. Then, Qiao Qiao picked up the teacup by the table, placed it in her mouth and took a light sip. Looking at the shivering body of the Luan, she could not help but raise her eyebrows and sigh. "First, get up."

Xiu Luan slightly raised her head. Seeing that Qiao Qiao's eyes still contained no sense of blame, she slowly said with a trembling voice, "This servant knows my wrongs. This servant truly knows my wrongs. I hope Miss does not chase this servant away." Xiu Luan said while kowtowing to Qiao Qiao.

"When did I say I was going to kick you out?" Qiao Qiao couldn't help but chuckle. Her eyes were full of happiness. "I asked you to get up first, I have something to say."

Xiu Luan crawled on the ground with a face full of shock. She did not expect that the lady did not want to kick her out of Pear Blossom Academy. Thinking this way, she half believing, half doubting, she stood up with a face full of self-blame in front of Qiao once again.

"You must have found Chimei today." Qiao Qiao's brows remained lowered. Putting down the teacup in his mouth, he asked lightly.

Xiu Luan was clearly shocked. She did not expect that what she was doing behind the scenes could not be hidden from the girl's eyes.

"You clearly know that the one who invaded the Demon Palace yesterday was me and Qingwu, so why didn't you say anything and instead go and move reinforcements?" Qiao Qiao slowly raised his eyebrows, his eyes not light as they sat on the body of the Aperture Luan.

"Miss, even though this servant was bestowed upon you by Your Majesty, since this servant has taken care of you, this servant will be your servant for the rest of my life. I naturally do not wish for anything to happen to you." She had personally heard the conversation between the two of them. Even though she already knew that Qiao Qiao was still plotting against Qingwu, she still chose to make the best of things and chose to protect her own young lady. Perhaps, perhaps, it was unknown when she had already viewed this young lady as her only master from the bottom of her heart.

Qiao Qiao suddenly smiled. If in the past she had always been afraid that Xiu Luan would have two masters in her heart and be unfaithful to her, then in the future, she would no longer have any doubts regarding today's actions and words.

"Good, with your actions and today's words, in the future, we will be sisters. I will never view anyone as a natural servant girl. Whether it's Yu Qingwu or you, we will only be sisters that cuddle together." Qiao Qiao gave a gentle smile and patted Xiu Luan's shoulder while laughing out loud.

"Miss is praising this servant. How could this servant possibly become Miss's sister?" Xiu Luan once again kneeled on the ground. Her face was still filled with shock as she faced Qiao Qiao.

"Quickly get up. In the future, don't always kneel here and there. There aren't that many rules to being my sister." Qiao Qiao still had a happy smile on his face as he pulled at Xiu Luan's hand.

"Thank you, Miss." Xiu Luan slowly stood up, her brows were filled with wild joy.
