y you dare not let me stay by her side, you're afraid she'll fall in love with me because of my face!”Mò Yúnjǐng's deep eyes stared at him, nonchalantly saying: "Whether Tángtáng could like you, you a...The guard frowned, "Where is your mistress"

"It's not far from here."

The guard fell silent for a moment. "Please wait a moment, I will go to consult with our lord."

"...."

The guard turned and fled toward the Ye Mansion's carriage like a frightened rabbit.

When Ye Er heard that Xiao Qin wanted to see him, the hands he had placed on his knees tightened slightly.

Why would she want to see him

The guard, observing his master's countenance, was calculating in his heart whether this attitude meant that his master was unwilling to see Miss Xiao of the Shou County.

Seeing that the superior was making no response, he tentatively asked, "Master, if you don't wish to see Miss Xiao of the Jun County, then shall I go back and tell her"

The guard's words brought Ye Er back to his senses. He shook his head slightly, "No need, just you come with me, the carriage returns home first."

"Yes."

Although he didn't show anything on his face, the guard was muttering in his heart. His elder brother often said that he couldn't read people's expressions, could it be true

He could tell from the look on his master's face that he didn't want to meet Miss Xiao, but at this moment, it seemed like his master was eager to see her.

It seems his older brother was right, he's definitely not as good as him at understanding what the adults are thinking.

Ye Erke didn't know what the guards around him were thinking. He got off the carriage and walked towards the alley where Qingya was.

When Qingya saw Ye Er approaching, she first bowed respectfully before saying, “Lord Ye, please follow me.”

Ye Er didn't say anything, just slightly nodded her head to indicate she should lead the way.

Three people walked through two secluded alleys and finally reached the back door of a teahouse. This teahouse was a dowry given to the wife of the Marquis of Anle by her family when she married into the family.

Now Lady Anlehou has given this teahouse to Xiaoqin, and Xiaoqin usually doesn't care much about the shops her mother gave her.

That day, and Ye Er only met in the bustling city. They had to deliberately avoid other people's gazes. At that time, she thought it would be nice if there was a quiet and secluded teahouse.

This way, she thought about who she wanted to see and have a secret meeting with, it wasn't that difficult.

That evening, she shared the idea with Qing Ya upon returning home. Unexpectedly, Qing Ya told her that among the dowries her mother had given her was a teahouse.

The location isn't great, these years have been kind of stagnant, but because the location isn't great, every day it attracts those ladies who want to talk without attracting attention.

So these years though I haven't made much money, at least I haven't lost any.

The next day, she followed Qingya to the teahouse to take a look. The shopkeeper also told them how to bypass the small alleyway and enter the teahouse through the back door.

And to her surprise, taking a detour through the alleyway from the back exit led her right to the Ye residence.

I don't know what she was thinking at the time, she actually thought she and Ye Er would have a chance to meet again.

Here, as expected, she couldn't avoid meeting Ye Er again after just a few days.

This matter concerns Ye Er's life, she has to run there in person.

As soon as Ye Er entered the door, Xiao Qin immediately stood up and said, "Lord Ye."

“......”

Ye Er couldn't have imagined that Xiao Qin would be so familiar today, as if she were a close friend he hadn't seen for many years, and their relationship was very good.

Though he was usually so composed, he did pause at the door for a moment.

Qingya knew that her young mistress had something important to tell Ye Er, so after Ye Er entered the room, she shut the door from the outside and wouldn't allow Ye Er's guards inside.

The guard looked at her with a puzzled expression, "What are you doing"

"Our county princess has something important to tell you, esteemed lords. We shall be waiting outside."

The guard frowned, "That won't do. Step aside and let me in. I need to ensure the safety of our people."

The adults only mentioned the matter of the Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Guard in the carriage just now. If that person is quick enough, there could be danger to our adults at any time.

He absolutely couldn't let the adults leave his sight, or if anything dangerous happened, he would regret it too late.

Ke Qingya was defiantly blocking the entrance, arms crossed. "This isn't about whether or not I let you in. You adults clearly agree with me too. If you wanted us to let you in, you would have said something by now. But look, my door is closed, and none of you have said anything. Doesn't that mean you approve"

"...."

The guard frowned slightly, thoughtfully. Really

Just as he hadn't figured it out yet, he heard Qingya muttering, "Why isn't it that little brother from last time At least he would know how to act based on his master's face."

"!!"

The guard, who had already been doubtful about his ability to read his master's mind, instantly wilted like a vegetable.

He's definitely not as good at reading the master's mind as his older brother.

Because Qingya's mumbled words, the guard indeed stopped thinking about letting Qingya enter.

Just such a short distance, Qingya and the guard's voices weren't deliberately lowered, so the conversation between the two could naturally be heard by Ye Er and Xiaoqin in the room.

However, neither of them seemed to care about what the people outside were saying at the moment. Ye Er merely paused at the door for a moment before seemingly nonchalantly continuing toward Xiao Qin's side.

Xiao Qin's mind was filled with the words she had heard in the mansion earlier. The moment Ye Er approached her, she forgot all about what she should and shouldn't do.

I saw her suddenly grab Ye Er's arm, staring intently at his eyes with a worried expression. She lowered her voice and said, "Lord Ye, you're in danger."

"..."

Ye Er felt the warmth coming from her palm, and suddenly his whole body stiffened.

What he was thinking was, he was truly in danger right now. His heart felt like it was about to burst out of his chest.

She leaned so close that he could even feel her breath.

Xiao Qin still thought that after she finished speaking, Ye Er would have some surprised, anxious, or confused emotions.

To her surprise, she saw Ye Er who remained unchanged from beginning to end, as if he hadn't heard what she said, or that he didn't care about the impending danger.

She couldn't help but wonder if her voice was too soft, and that Lord Ye in front of her hadn't heard

Upon thinking of this, Xiao Qin took another step forward, getting closer to Ye Er. She repeated her words in a slightly louder voice, "Lord Ye, did you hear me I said you'll be in danger next."

Her presence caused Ye Er's heart to beat faster. He knew he couldn't go on like this.

Then, seemingly nonchalant, he took a step back, intending to withdraw his arm from Xiaoqin's grasp. He wasn't sure what he was craving, but in the end, he pretended not to notice and didn't even use his eyes to signal Xiaoqin.

Xiaoqin's mind was preoccupied with matters of life and death, she didn't notice this small detail. Not receiving a response from Ye Er made her even more anxious, so she asked again, "Ye sir"g draught by the young master himself."This poison was given to him by his own mother before she left. This time, it finally comes in handy.“...”Lei Hong suddenly covered her mouth, "But...but we all...
