Qing Lingyi looked like he was at the mercy of others.
Cheng Yang gritted his teeth, pinched her face, and said in a low voice, "Are you still trying to wake me up?"
Qing Lingyi did not respond, her breathing was calm, and her expression was very peaceful and well-behaved.
She was already fast asleep.
Cheng Yang stared at her for a long time, then let go of his hand and stood up.
Did he help her take off her clothes?
Think beautifully.
The next day, Qing Lingyi woke up naturally and opened her eyes. She felt comfortable all over, except for a slight numbness and pain somewhere on her cheek, as if someone had pinched her hard.
She lay there for a while and then sat up.
The coat was taken off and neatly folded aside, with her hairpin jewelry on top.
All the shoes and socks were taken off and placed in front of the couch.
The sound of footsteps was heard, Qing Lingyi turned around and saw Cheng Yang coming in.
Seeing that she was awake, he paused briefly.
Qing Lingyi looked at him for a while, then suddenly smiled.
Stretchy, pure, and bright, it is natural, just like the endless flowers blooming in the mountains and fields in the midsummer season.
Just, very nice.
"General, were you the one who took off my clothes, shoes and socks, and covered me with the quilt?" she asked.
Cheng Yang frowned, "...No."
Qing Lingyi looked puzzled.
Cheng Yang continued to walk in, his tone became slightly colder: "I'm busy with my affairs, how can I serve you?"
Qing Lingyi thought about it, too, how could it be possible?
She was really sleepy, scratched her head and asked, "Then what are you doing here?"
Cheng Yang's face was expressionless: "Just take something for yourself."
As he spoke, he picked up a white jade cup from the pile on the table, turned around and went out again.
Qing Lingyi looked at the direction he left and yawned.
I thought he was here to see if she was awake.
She sat alone on the couch, lost in thought.
I don’t know how much time passed before Biwei came in.
Qing Lingyi turned to look over and asked, "When did you wake up?"
"Just now." Biwei was honest.
"Then did you come in last night?"
"Last night?" Biwei recalled seriously, "We said goodbye at the door. I went back to the room and fell asleep first. I just woke up now."
Qing Lingyi nodded.
Bi Wei asked: "What's wrong, madam?"
Qing Lingyi said that she fell on the bed in a daze yesterday, but when she woke up early this morning, she found that her clothes, shoes and socks had been taken off.
Bi Wei looked at her face and said in surprise: "And madam, the ink marks on your face are gone! It was obviously stained last night!"
Qing Lingyi was stunned and touched her face.
Bi Wei was already moved: "Madam, the general is so attentive. He not only undresses you, but also helps you wash your face."
Qing Lingyi raised a finger and shook it solemnly: "No, he said it, it wasn't him."
But it’s not Chengyang or Biwei who takes care of her, so who could it be?
She couldn't understand.
Just like in the study, Wu Liang couldn't figure out why the general was absent-minded this morning and went out intermittently several times, as if he was worried about someone and had to take a look.
The last time, he went out for the longest time, and when he came back, he had a cup in his hand.
I don’t know where the cup came from!
"Wu Liang." Cheng Yang's voice.
Wu Liang was still thinking, why a cup?
"Wu Liang!" Cheng Yang increased his voice.
Even the wooden-looking Si Rujian looked at him.
"...Here!" Wu Liang finally came to his senses, "General, please speak."
Cheng Yang sat in the chair and played with the cup carelessly. His wide palm made the cup extremely small.
He asked slowly: "Have you found out all the dead agents?"
Wu Liang replied: "One was a spy sent by the Jiang family. Not long after he left the house, he was killed by the Jiang family's killers. This was to completely cover up the matter."
Cheng Yang sneered and commented: "It's really cruel."
Wu Liang glanced at him and thought, in terms of ruthlessness, you are not bad, and you want to kill his wife.
"Where is the other one?" Cheng Yang asked again.
"...This person's identity and background are very clean. He must have been instigated to betray the General's Mansion recently. He comes and goes very carefully and leaves almost no trace. I'm still investigating."
After saying that, Wu Liang's stomach growled twice.
Cheng Yang glanced at him faintly.
Wu Liang quickly covered it and said with a dry smile: "General, please forgive me, I haven't had time to have breakfast yet."
When he said this, Cheng Yang also felt hungry.
He stopped his fingers, put the cup on the desk, stood up, and first told Si Rujian: "It's your turn to check the rest."
"yes."
Si Rujian turned over and disappeared. Cheng Yang turned to Wu Liang and asked casually, "Have you fed Zhui Feng?"
"No." Wu Liang said.
And this is exactly the answer Cheng Yang wants.
He said "hmm" and said, "I'll go take a look, you don't have to follow."
He used the excuse of feeding Zhui Feng, but after leaving the study, he walked to the main room first.
Didn't Qing Lingyi want to know where Zhui Feng Guan was yesterday, so he showed mercy and took her there today.
With her temperament, she would definitely cook him a sumptuous breakfast.
However, the house was empty.
Cheng Yang frowned slightly, what on earth was she busy with?
At this time, Qing Lingyi and Bi Wei were having breakfast at Jingchenxuan.
The butler's affairs were not handed over yesterday and will continue today.
Mrs. Xue sat on a chair not far away and looked at the two of them.
A maid came in, holding a medicine bowl in her hand, passing by the dining table and heading to the old lady's place.
Qing Lingyi raised his head from the millet porridge: "Wait a minute."
The maid stopped and saluted: "Third Madam."
Qing Lingyi wiped the corners of her mouth and asked her: "In the past, wasn't Grandma Qi the one who cooked the medicine?"
Over there, Mrs. Xue said: "She went to call Zhao Wanrong. This is Zangsu, the daughter of Grandma Qi."
Qing Lingyi nodded slightly.
Even so, she still observed the concoction carefully.
The old lady asked: "What's wrong?"
"No," Qing Lingyi said truthfully, "Mother, drink it while it's hot."
Zangsu stepped forward, put down the medicine bowl, and took out the jar of candied fruits.
Qing Lingyi took a bite of the beef patty and asked, "Mom, are you almost done with the candied fruits?"
"There's only half a can left. I have to take medicine every time, otherwise I won't be able to drink it. Xiao Anle has finished her own can, and she's always thinking about mine. If she comes and starts acting coquettishly, I won't be able to part with it. Here it is!" the old lady said, a kind smile spreading on her face.
"It's okay. I'll do it in a few days when there's less time. I'll make some other fruits."
"No need," Mrs. Xue's smile deepened, "Doctor Wu said that I am getting better, and I can slowly stop taking these bitter medicines. They are only three parts poisonous, and it is not good to drink them all year round."
Just as they were talking, Grandma Qi came back.
No one was following her, she came back alone.
Qing Lingyi has some ideas.
Mrs. Xue also frowned and asked, "Where is Zhao Wanrong?"
"She's sick and can't get up." Grandma Qi said.
"sick?"
The old lady sneered and placed the medicine bowl heavily on the table: "I told you to spare her life, and I was kind enough to bury her when she died, but she still loves the whole thing so much! Wait! I'll slap her twice. , let’s see if she is really sick or just being a bitch again!”
