Qiao Yanqi hurriedly looked in a certain direction. The person in the dark nodded and turned to leave.
At the sa ti, Xu Qing saw another figure and was shocked. Why was he here… Xu Qing didn’t have ti to think and hurriedly chased after him. She couldn’t let an outsider fall into this trap!
After everyone changed their clothes, they gathered in the garden and talked about how afraid they had been. Seeing that everyone was almost here, Qiao Yanqi exclaid, “Heavens, where’s my sister-in-law? I saw her fall into the pond just now.”
The Eldest Princess’s heart skipped a beat. If Qiao Yanhui found out that sothing had happened to Xu Qing, he would probably vent his anger on her!
“Hurry up and find her!” the Eldest Princess shouted in a low voice.
The three children also had nervous expressions. They held Xun Fen and Teng Nian’s hands and went to look for Xu Qing.
Qiao Yanqi had a sinister smile on her face. Her sche had just begun!
For a mont, the atmosphere in the entire Eldest Princess’s residence beca a little heavy, causing so ladies to feel worried. There were so people who didn’t want anything to happen to Xu Qing. Who knew if Qiao Yanhui would take his anger out on them in the end?
After they searched around and opened all the doors, only the last closed door was left. Slowly, everyone gathered in front of the last door. So of them were worried, and so were gleeful.
So were worried that Qiao Yanhui would vent his anger on them! While so were happy that their plan had succeeded!
Xu Qing followed that person to this room before everyone else. She saw a naked man lying beside the bed with his eyes closed. It was unknown if he was dead, but the masked man beside the bed was hugging the woman on the bed with a pitiful expression.
Just as he was about to carry the woman away, the masked man suddenly stopped. He looked at the unfamiliar face in his arms and his expression changed. He threw the woman to the ground rcilessly, face down. At the sa ti, there was relief and frustration in the man’s eyes.
He was glad that she wasn’t the one who was injured. He was annoyed that he was so irrational that he didn’t even notice that he was being followed. The worst thing was that he had actually mistaken her for soone else!
“Who is it?!” The man’s voice was filled with killing intent.
“Wuyou?” Xu Qing looked at the masked man in front of her with a mixed expression.
She didn’t expect that the person who ca was actually Zhuo Wuyou. Why was he in the Eldest Princess’s residence? How did he enter? Why did he co to this room? Was he… worried about her?
Xu Qing recalled what she had done just now… Zhuo Wuyou was probably worried about her!
Xu Qing guessed that those people didn’t just want to push her into the pond, so she pasted a temporary human skin mask on another woman. As expected, so people thought that this woman was her and sent this woman to the room furthest from the courtyard. Then, a man sneaked in…
When Zhuo Wuyou saw the real Xu Qing, he actually appeared a little bashful because this scene was really awkward…
When Xu Qing saw Zhuo Wuyou’s embarrassed look, she couldn’t help but laugh. She didn’t expect to see such an expression on Zhuo Wuyou’s usually stoic face.
When Zhuo Wuyou saw Xu Qing’s smile, his heart softened. However, he still suppressed his emotions in the end and strode to Xu Qing’s side. He hugged her and jumped onto the tree at the door to hide.
Xu Qing was about to speak when Zhuo Wuyou covered her mouth and gestured for her to look at the door because everyone was there!
The two of them were very close and were holding their breaths. There was a hint of ambiguity surrounding them. This made Zhuo Wuyou’s expression darken.
He shouldn’t have let Xu Qing co to the capital back then! He really regretted it.
Xu Qing was sitting on a tree and waiting to watch the show. She didn’t notice Zhuo Wuyou’s reaction at all. After all, in the past two years, Zhuo Wuyou’s attitude towards her had been cold and indifferent. Xu Qing thought that Zhuo Wuyou had given up long ago, so she didn’t feel that awkward when interacting with him. She only treated him as a friend. In the past few years, Zhuo Wuyou had really helped her a lot. Without Zhuo Wuyou, Xu Qing wouldn’t be where she was today. She would have been assassinated long ago.
She had saved his life back then, but he had repaid her several tis!
However, Xu Qing still rembered what Qiao Yanhui had said, so she would keep a distance from Zhuo Wuyou!
