Daily life after inheriting the harem

Chapter 39

Pei Yuqing confirmed Shi Luoning's injury. Although the wound hadn't healed yet, the bleeding had stopped, and there was no fever. He should be able to regain his strength to walk on his own after eating something.

"You can leave now." She issued the eviction order very simply, "If possible, please go to Butler Yan to settle your medicine bill."

Shi Luoning covered her abdomen and bowed her head without speaking. If she did not speak, Pei Yuqing would also remain silent. The two of them were in a stalemate, and the atmosphere in the room dropped to zero.

Qiu Qi was caught in the middle, looking at Pei Yuqing and Shi Luoning, not knowing what to say.

"Are you sure you want me to leave?" After a long time, Shi Luoning slowly raised her head, looked into Pei Yuqing's eyes, and faced those blue eyes that seemed to be freezing through her bones, without any timidity, "If I say I'm leaving Now, your darling is not far from death, if that's the case, do you still want me to leave?"

Qiu Qi stared at her in disbelief, no, you can say whatever you like, but why did you drag me into the water?

Sure enough, after hearing Shi Luoning's words, Pei Yuqing's expression became gloomy, and she turned to Qiu Qi, "My lord, is she telling the truth?"

Qiu Qi has been having nightmares these days and spends time in the study every night. Of course Pei Yuqing sensed that she was hiding something, but every time she made indirect remarks, Qiu Qi would either hesitate or change the subject abruptly. Pei Yuqing thought she was It was hard to tell, but now an outsider, even a former enemy, seemed to know more than she knew.

This kind of emotion was too complicated, but Pei Yuqing restrained herself from sounding too oppressive.

Under her gaze, Qiu Qi shrank his neck, "I didn't mean to hide it from Madam on purpose, I just wanted to tell you together after I found a solution, otherwise wouldn't Madam worry for nothing?"

"Worry in vain." Pei Yuqing read these four words lightly, and only she knew the bitterness on the tip of her tongue.

"Ma'am." Qiu Qi went to tug on her sleeve, but was dodged away.

Pei Yuqing lowered her eyelids, avoiding her eager eyes, "Master, I have something I want to talk to Miss Shi alone, can you avoid it for a while?"

"Oh, good..." Qiu Qi raised his eyes hopefully at last, but he still only saw Pei Yuqing's cold side face, so he could only go out in desperation, sitting on the stone steps with his hands on his knees, his chin resting on his knees Up, waiting bitterly like a homeless child.

After waiting for almost two sticks of incense, the sound of footsteps finally came from inside. Qiu Qi hastily stretched out his hand and pinched his arm. After suppressing a few tears, he buried his head in the crook of his arm and started to twitch.

That little shoulder was shaking, that little voice was sobbing, not to mention how distressing it was.

But Pei Yuqing didn't even squint her eyes, just ignored her and left.

Qiu Qi heard her unhesitating footsteps gradually drifting away, so he dared to raise his head, "Isn't it, this is not coaxing?"

Is it because my folk Oscar queen is not tall enough, or you, Mr. Pei, are too hard-hearted.

Acting pitifully was not enough, Qiu Qi had no choice but to go to the other party to inquire about the result, she patted the ashes on her pant legs, stood up, and walked into the room.

"What did you just say?"

Shi Luoning was holding a teacup and sipping. After listening to Qiu Qi's question, she smiled slightly, "Miss Pei agrees that I will stay."

"What did you say?" When we met yesterday and met each other, I made a move, and today I promise you to stay!

Shi Luoning said in a leisurely tone, "I just told her everything I know, including of course the dementing Gu on my lord."

Qiu Qi gritted his teeth, "Do you think if I wanted to tell her, I would hide it until now? Why do you go beyond my will and tell her?"

Shi Luoning's eyes were indifferent, and he raised his eyelids to look directly into Qiu Qi's eyes, "Sir, you hate me, I'm not afraid, as long as I can stay by your side, I'm willing to do anything."

Qiu Qi raised her hand, gathering all her strength, and finally put it down unwillingly, even if she stripped off the fox's fur, she still couldn't relieve her hatred!

"Why do you pester me, I'll give you whatever you want, and I can't give you anything now, right? It's more reliable for you to find someone to take refuge with than me."

"No, I only want an adult." Shi Luoning shook her head lightly, put her hands on her abdomen, looked at Qiu Qi and said, "This injury was left by an adult, and of course only an adult can heal it."

So is heartbreak.

"Treat your nn legs!" I was so angry that I raised a knife in the middle of the night to take your head, it would be good!

"The matter has come to this point, and it cannot be changed. You might as well think about how to explain it to your wife."

"I want you to tell me!"

Since Pei Yuqing had already made a decision, she would not hide it from others. After she returned, she held a meeting and told the people in the courtyard what Shi Luoning was going to leave behind.

Zu Mianmian was not present because the 49-day vigil period had not yet expired, but Xiao Chuer refused on her behalf first, "No, I don't agree, and Zu Mianmian will not agree either."

Yin Ci on the side also pursed her lips, for the first time, she did not immediately agree with Pei Yuqing's words.

Pei Yuqing had expected this scene earlier, and did not hide it, "I kept her because she is the only one who can undo the soul-absorbing Gu."

"Dementor Gu?" Xu Zishe frowned. She had some knowledge of these Gu arts when she read medical books, "Isn't this a forbidden art?"

Pei Yuqing nodded, and then Lin Yujin opened her mouth to ask, "So it's my sister, did you get the soul-destroying Gu? When did you get it, how could it be..."

All eyes were brought to Pei Yuqing's face by this sentence, but she denied it.

"not me."

"Who else could that be?"

"Qiu Qi."

Two short words made everyone lose their voices.

"Soul-absorbing Gu will absorb the host's Beast Orb within 30 days. Few people in the human race will use this Gu technique, but the Demon Race has no taboos. There are many people who practice it, so I don't need to explain it too clearly. You should be able to do it too." Guess who is behind the attack."

Demon.

The Demon God who can break through the seal with only one Beast God Beast Orb.

This is also the reason why they have always obeyed Pei Yuqing's orders and did not kill Qiu Qi. If the Demon God is not dead, she cannot die.

But now it is said that there are still 30 days left before the Demon God may get Qiu Qi's Beast Orb?

"Maybe this is the plan of that vixen, to intentionally cast Soul Eater Gu on Qiu Qi, in order to get in among us."

"That Gu shouldn't be made by her."

"why?"

"Because she herself was also affected by Dementor Gu." Pei Yuqing looked at the questioner calmly, and then released a bigger piece of information, "The mastermind behind the case of the missing girl is the demon god, Shi Luoning is her former foster daughter."

"Then let's not agree to her staying!" Xiao Chu'er just patted the case, "Who knows if she was manipulated by the demon god to make trouble, the demon god's illusion is so strong that he can even tamper with memory and control thoughts at will, plus With the threat of soul-stirring Gu, Shi Luoning will definitely obey the Demon God's words, maybe she will snatch the Beast Orb in less than [-] days."

"Okay, then let me ask, is there anyone here who can undo the Soul Absorbing Gu?"

There was silence in the room.

"But--"

Pei Yuqing closed her eyes, looked extremely tired, and waved her hand downwards, "Save your life, I won't stop you for anything else."

"Yes!"

……

Only after the wake period did anyone dare to tell Zu Mianmian about this. She rushed to Shi Luoning's room with her fists clenched without changing her clothes.

Kicking open the door vigorously, and seeing the people in the room drinking tea and eating slowly, he was even more annoyed, so he rushed up and punched him.

The bowl and chopsticks fell to the ground, and Shi Luoning's palm pressed against the debris, and blood flowed profusely in an instant.

But she had already guessed that such a day would come, so she didn't panic, she raised her head and looked at Zu Mianmian silently.

"sorry."

"Don't fucking tell me you're sorry!" Zu Mianmian lifted her collar and said word by word, "If you commit seppuku today, An'an won't be able to come back either."

"I have absolutely no intention of hurting An An. I said that I also regard her as my family." Shi Luoning said firmly.

"Shut up." Zu Mianmian yelled, "You don't deserve to be her family, haven't you hurt her enough? You imprisoned her with your disgusting self-righteousness, and made her suffer so much. Now I’m still licking my face to pretend to be pitiful and guilty, let me tell you that I won’t take this trick.”

Shi Luoning's eyes darkened little by little following Zu Mianmian's harsh words, and he clenched his fists clenched in his sleeves, the blood in his fingers was about to overflow.

"Shi Luoning, you murderer!"

"Shut up!" The backlog of emotions erupted, Shi Luoning stood up suddenly, and returned the punch just now to Zu Mianmian, "I didn't kill her! I didn't!"

Hearing the sound, a group of people who followed Zu Mianmian from outside rushed in.

They shouted one by one not to quarrel, not to fight, but when they stepped forward to fight, they didn't touch Zu Mianmian at all, but pulled Shi Luoning who was sitting on the ground to hold her up, for Zu Mianmian to hit her like a target.

"If I don't beat you today, you won't be named Zu if you call mom!"

"Do you know why you can't sleep peacefully in Linggu, because that's me holding a lantern and singing on your grave."

"Do you think it's useful to look good and pretend to be pitiful? My ancestor Mianmian will tear your skin apart today!"

Qiu Qi, who came late, looked confused, looking at Zu Mianmian who was spitting beans like pouring beans in front of him, and said, "This...is this?"

Is this still the dumb-mouthed Zu Mianmian she knew?It's just a little overlord of Zaun.

As if it wasn't enough to relieve his anger, Zu Mianmian let out a loud shout and turned into a beast, his hands and feet swelled up into thick beast legs, and two horns grew on his head, which looked tough.

However, such a domineering body is paired with an extremely unequal and soft-looking face.

Qiu Qi took another breath, "King Kong Barbie himself?"

Everyone's animal behavior is well-behaved, why is it that you have a different style of painting?

But watching the fun is watching the fun, Qiu Qi didn't forget that he was here to persuade a fight, Shi Luoning has Soul Eater Gu on his body and can't use the beast element, it's okay to get a few slaps and fists, if it's a beast with a physical body, that's terrible It's really going to kill someone.

The others seemed to still remember Pei Yuqing's words, and they didn't want to kill anyone, so they finally gave up one by one.

"Mianmian, let's stop using the animal form. We will really punch her to death later."

"I don't care! I just want her to pay for it!" Zu Mianmian, who had turned into a beast, was so strong that Lin Yujin couldn't hold her back at all. She looked at Yin Ci and Xiao Chu'er for help, but they were indifferent.

This can only be Qiu Qi's turn, "Mianmian, let's deal with An An's funeral first, and then hold her accountable, okay? You just killed her like this, don't you think it's taking advantage of her instead?"

Zu Mianmian was furious, originally thinking that no one would listen to her, but Qiu Qi told her that she was stunned.

That's right, An An's death was so painful, why should she give this vixen a good time?

"An'an hasn't been buried yet, and she certainly doesn't want to see you guys arguing over this kind of thing, shall we talk about it later?" Qiu Qi continued his efforts.

Zu Mianmian loosened his hands a little, "Okay, I'm not making trouble today for An An's sake, but I'm definitely not forgiving you, even if I strip you off, I can't get rid of the hatred in my heart, you remember it!"

The others hugged Zu Mianmian and left, and the room became peaceful again.

Shi Luoning raised her hand, wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, patted her clothes, and silently squatted on the ground to pick up the pieces of the porcelain bowl.

"Use a broom." Qiu Qi handed it to her.

Shi Luoning squatted without moving, only slowly raised her head to look at her, the tears in her flushed eyes were full but refused to fall, she asked Qiu Qi with trembling lips, "It's true, nothing can change ?"

"You really can't change the past." Looking at those eyes that could arouse the pity of countless people, Qiu Qi was surprisingly calm, "The only thing you can change is the future, but what you want to do can only be done by yourself." You decide for yourself, apart from you and Zu Mianmian, we are all just others in this matter."

"I will kill that woman's head with my hands to avenge An'an." I also made a decision for myself.

"What a coincidence, together." Qiu Qi stretched out his hand to her, Shi Luoning held it hesitantly, and then was pulled up from the ground by the other party.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome." Qiu Qi smiled at her, and then took out the abacus borrowed from Yan Wanna, "Actually, I have something to tell you today, since my wife has promised you to stay here, I can't do it." I’ll drive you away again, but I hope you understand that I don’t support idlers here.”

"If the adults need help, I will do my best."

"Bingo!" Qiu Qi snapped his fingers, and took out a small abacus. The appearance of careful calculation was the same as that carved out of Yan Wan's mold, "First of all, two gold per month for accommodation, one gold for food, thirty Silver sanitation fees, and..."

Before Qiu Qi could finish the calculation, Shi Luoning straightforwardly handed over a stack of gold tickets, "Here is a thousand gold, which should be enough for Luo Ning to live for a while."

"Rich woman." Qiu Qi collected the money very quickly, "Then I'm almost finished talking, it's nothing to do, you should rest more, and usually don't go out and hang out in front of Zu Mianmian, lest another group of people fight each other."

Shi Luoning nodded.

"That's it, you rest." Qiu Qi took the initiative to close the door for her.

"Go slowly, my lord."

Qiu Qi nodded with a stern face, but as soon as he turned around, he immediately failed, holding up the stack of gold notes and kissed fiercely, "mua! I have a good meal tonight!"

……

The food at night was very good, but Qiu Qi couldn't enjoy it too much.

"Sister Pei hasn't eaten dinner for several days, and she doesn't go out much..."

"Yeah, sister Pei is not happy, and I am also very sad."

"Hey, isn't sister Pei's favorite dish? It's a pity that she has no appetite."

I don't know if it was Qiu Qi's illusion, but she always felt that the people at the dinner table would just glance at her after saying something, as if they were saying it to her on purpose.

But she couldn't do anything about it, Pei Yuqing was really angry this time, it didn't work for her to be coquettish and cute, otherwise the pimple wouldn't have been resolved for so many days.

"My lord, haven't you called sister Pei to bed lately?" Lin Yujin asked sideways.

"I've called you." Qiu Qi's chopsticks slowed down.

"Then you should also see that my sister has recently..."

"Madam is not in a good mood recently, why don't you spend more time with her and have a small meeting to eat, drink and chat."

"But we can see that Sister Pei seems to have a heart disease, and she has been absent-minded in admiring the flowers these days."

Then you take her to play mahjong, it's best to bring her excited to stay up all night like this... This way she won't have to sleep in the same bed with Pei Yuqing every day.

"My lord, don't you know why sister Pei is troubled?"

"Isn't it Shi Luoning's matter? I have explained this matter to my wife countless times." Every time Pei Yuqing agreed lightly, but her expression remained the same.

Lin Yujin and Xiao Chu'er looked at each other, if they were modern people, they would definitely blurt out and call Qiu Qi a "stinky straight man" now.

After talking about Pei Yuqing, Qiu Qi lost his appetite immediately, the smell of braised pork no longer smelled good, and the taste of tiger skin and chicken feet was gone, so he simply threw his chopsticks and stood up.

"Forget it, it's okay not to eat all day, I'll go and deliver some to my wife."

"Yes, yes, yes." Lin Yujin nodded, "It's time for my lord to have a good chat with Sister Pei."

"Why do you care so much about my wife and I?" Qiu Qi asked her strangely while picking up some vegetables, "What kind of conspiracy is there?"

Lin Yujin laughed dryly, "Haha, my lord, you are joking. I am loyal to you, how could I have conspired?"

The main reason is that Pei Yuqing has been too scary these two days, exaggerated to the point that when they get close to her, they will feel shivering from the cold. If Qiu Qi and Pei Yuqing's problem is not resolved, they probably have to pack up and get ready. Early winter.

"Okay..." Qiu Qi put the plate into the food box, "I'm going first, you guys eat slowly."

……

Qiu Qi didn't go back to the room immediately, and ran to the study, looking through the pile of girl comics, looking for solutions to the obstacles in the progress of the protagonist's relationship, and seeing if he could make a book for himself. refer to.

As a result, looking at it like this, two hours passed in an instant.

When the moon rose above his head, Qiu Qi closed the last page of the book, smacking his lips and still having a lot of aftertaste, originally wanted to read another one, but turned his head to look at the dark sky outside, and suddenly remembered that he was flipping through comics It has a purpose!Now not only have nothing been turned over, but also the time has been forgotten...

Madame won't be sleeping, woo woo woo, does she still have a chance?

……

At the same time, there was a corner at the entrance of Qiu Qi's bedroom.

"Okay ah?"

"Is anyone in there?"

"Why didn't there be any movement at all, didn't they come back in a hurry after eating?"

In the corner, a few figures with shrunken shoulders were lying there eavesdropping. They poked around for a long time without looking at anything.

Yin Ci stood aside with folded arms and a cold face, looking down at a few people staring at her, "Don't ask me, I don't know."

She didn't even want to come, but was dragged here by this group of people.

"Hey! Here we come." Xiao Chu'er pointed to the distance.

Everyone raised their eyes and saw that the ghostly walking was not the Qiu Qi they were looking for.

"I must have done something bad. Who would sneak around like this when they went back to their room."

"Now let you go in and talk to Sister Pei, you have to look like this."

"..."

Qiu Qi tiptoed to the door and knocked cautiously, "Ma'am, I'm coming in."

Before she raised her hand to push the door, the door opened from the inside with a bang, and the unsuspecting Qiu Qi rushed in and fell to the ground.

Pei Yuqing stood on one side, looked down at her, and remained silent.

Qiu Qi raised his head, met her cold expression, didn't speak, just looked at her pitifully with his mouth puckered.

"stand up."

Qiu Qi lowered his head to rub his ankle, "It hurts..."

Sure enough, after saying this, Pei Yuqing bent down to hug her, Qiu Qi went upstairs to her neck, buried his cheek in the socket of her neck, and lifted the corner of his mouth to reveal a triumphant smile.

Pei Yuqing hugged Qiu Qi to the bed, asked her to sit, and squatted down to take off her shoes to check the injury.

Bai Nen's ankle was slightly red and edematous, but this should be because she hadn't rested well in the past two days. She reached out and pressed a few places, asking if it hurts.

Of course, Qiu Qi howled with sore throat every time, after all, if he could get more sympathy, he would get it.

"My lord, do you really feel pain?" Pei Yuqing let go.

Qiu Qi nodded hastily.

"If that's the case, I'm afraid this leg will be useless. I will seal a few big acupuncture points for my lord to prevent the disease from spreading."

"What will happen if it is closed?"

"My lord, there is no need to be afraid, but you can't walk. Yu Qing will prepare a wheelchair for you immediately and take good care of you."

Isn't this metaphysics amputation!

Qiu Qi hurriedly said, "No need, no need! I feel very comfortable again now! I don't feel uncomfortable at all! Madam's hand seems to have magic power, and the place where I pressed it doesn't hurt anymore!"

"Really?" Pei Yuqing said leisurely, but leaned down towards her, her blue eyes condensed with piercing light, "Yuqing asked just now whether what your lord said was the truth, and your lord said yes, but It took only two sentences to change the subject, could it be that your lord has already become a liar, you don't need to think about nonsense... Or, from the beginning to the end, your lord feels that Yu Qing is a foolish and untrustworthy person."

Qiu Qi finally understood that Pei Yuqing had laid a lot of groundwork before, and the only thing she really wanted to say was the last sentence.

"Ma'am, you misunderstood me, I never thought about you that much." Qiu Qi looked at her with teary eyes, "I just regard you as the most important person, so I don't want you to worry about me for nothing, I think I'll tell you when I find a solution, and everything will be fine."

"When did it start?"

"...the night you came back from the Colosseum."

Pei Yuqing pursed her lips, she should have noticed it earlier, since Qiu Qi started to have frequent nightmares, her words have obviously decreased a lot, and she often stares in one direction with empty eyes, and is in a daze for the whole afternoon.

"I heard your conversation with Shi Luoning before. The spirit man has also come frequently in recent days?"

There were people coming and going in the yard, so many times, but no one noticed that this spirit man was very agile.

"I don't think it's a big deal, so I don't need to make public..."

"It's not a big deal." Pei Yuqing nodded, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, "Do you know that the spirit man can take your head with just one move, and the soul-absorbing Gu only started to attack on the night of the Colosseum. Your Excellency doesn't have any doubts about her? Or does he not care about his own life at all, if that's the case..."

That being the case, it would be better to let me kill you with my own hands in the first place, so as to save her from the complicated emotions that are difficult to relieve in her heart now.

Why did she care so much about the devil's every move, that when she realized it, she had become unlike herself.

Qiu Qi bit her lip, she felt uncomfortable listening to one more word of Pei Yuqing's words.

She should have been happy that the other party cared so much about her, but her heart sank little by little like being tied to a rock.

"It's not that I don't care about my own life, I do, but I care about Madam even more." Qiu Qi took her hand and looked into her eyes, "I thought if I didn't get the The solution is to kill myself first, and ask Steward Yan to keep the Beast Orb for me. I will never let the Beast Orb fall into the hands of the Demon God. In this way, no accidents will happen to the human race, and Madam will not be sad. It's a good way to get the best of both worlds. If there is a day when I leave, I have already told the housekeeper Yan that the owner of this yard will be replaced by you. Willing to leave everything I have to my wife."

"The best of both worlds." Pei Yuqing read these words softly, and her heart became more restless, "But I don't want the best of both worlds, I just want you to live."

Qiu Qi's pupils dilated violently, and only she knew the surprise in her heart.

For Pei Yuqing to say such a thing, it was almost a confession. The person who once wanted her to die even if he wanted to change his life, now said affectionately, "I only want you to live."

Qiu Qi felt that even a 100 million lottery ticket falling from the sky would not make her happy now.

Pei Yuqing lowered her eyes, and her eyes were filled with an incomprehensible complexity and tenderness. She raised her hand, gently stroked Qiu Qi's cheek, rubbed her thumb against the soft skin, then lowered her voice, but Get closer, "Did you hear, my lord, I only want you to live well."
