"So, you insist on keeping her here, whether I object or not, right?!"

Qi Mujing stared at her for a while before replying, "En."

Shen Zhi Qiao laughed self-deprecatingly, "Since you have already made up your mind, you will not change it no matter what, so …." "Let her stay at the house of the Marquis."

Qi Mujing was slightly startled by her sudden agreement. He looked at her face, but she suddenly turned around and sat back down at the table. She picked up the bowl and chopsticks she prepared for him and started to eat.

The atmosphere immediately became quiet.

Qi Mujing frowned and looked at her for a while, a variety of emotions passing through his eyes. He wanted to open his mouth to say something, but found that he didn't know what to say.

One of them stood, the other sat, silent.

It was only when Duan Qi Feng came to urge her that Qi Mujing knew it was time to enter the palace. He glanced at her, then left the room.

The footsteps grew further and further away. Shen Zhi Qiao then put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hands, bent over, and started vomiting.

When Nan Yue heard the noise in the room, she immediately ran in. When she saw Shen Zhi Qiao's pitiful appearance, she immediately poured her a cup of water, "Shen Zhi Qiao, if you're so capable, why don't you continue acting!"

Shen Zhi Qiao drank the water in her hand, but spit out the water she just drank.

Moreover, her face was even whiter than before, and there were still crystal clear droplets of water shooting out of her forehead.

Nan Yue was both angry and helpless at the same time, but she couldn't resist using her hands to stroke her back.

Shen Zhiqiao leaned against the table and said weakly, "Nan Yue, I want to ask you something."

Nan Yue was puzzled, she sat in front of her and asked, "What is it?"

"Love."

For the next few days, Shen Zhi Qiao remained quiet. From time to time, he would send someone to deliver some clothes and accessories to Shen Shuzhi in an extremely magnanimous manner.

For a moment, the entire house was filled with the matron's presence, causing Qi Muyun to come and look for her again.

Basically, it meant that it was best if she could be reasonable. In the future, she had to live in harmony with Shen Shuzhi, wholeheartedly manage Hou Mansion, and settle Master Hou's worries and peace of mind.

These days, Qi Mujing would still return to his room to accompany her at night, but it was getting later and later.

He would still sleep with her in his arms out of habit, but the words he spoke would become less and less as he faced her.

He tucked his hand into his sleeve and lightly crushed the bag with his thumb.

Shen Zhiqiao leaned against the door and looked at the snow-covered plum blossoms on both sides of the path. They looked very beautiful with shyness in their whiteness.

The moment Qi Mujing stepped into the yard, he saw her standing at the door, dressed in a beautiful red and white fur coat. A breathtaking look flashed across her black eyes.

He walked in quickly, and she did not recover until he took her hand, her eyes still misty as she looked at him.

Qi Mujing's throat moved slightly as he pulled her into the house.

"Jing, you're here!" Shen Zhi Qiao seemed to have finally awoken as he stared at him with joy in his eyes.

Qi Mujing raised his eyebrows, infected by the happiness in her eyes, and smiled, "You've been waiting for a long time?!"

"Not bad!" Shen Zhiqiao pulled him to sit in front of the table, "I always feel like it's been a long time since I've had dinner with you, so I've specially arranged for Uncle Tie to tell you in advance when you, a loyal official, are busy."

Ye Zichen winked at him, "Then can Master Hou give me face now and accompany me to eat this meal?"

Qi Mujing was in a good mood as she helped him prepare the dishes, "I'm extremely happy!"

Shen Zhiqiao smiled and happily helped him with some food and soup. The relaxed and joyful atmosphere continued until the dinner was over.

After the maidservants cleaned up the table, they left.

Shen Zhiqiao suddenly sat on his lap and wrapped his arms around his neck. As usual, his voice was soft as he said, "Ah Jing, I recently learned a new skill while idling around …"

"Oh?" Qi Mujing raised his hand to caress her hair, then raised his eyebrows, "What craft?!"

Shen Zhi Qiao tilted his head and smiled, "Make tea!" As she said that, she got up from his lap, reached for the kettle on the table, and shook it, "I don't think there's any hot water left. Wait a moment, I'll get the kitchen to boil a pot of hot water right now. I'll show you later. "

Qi Mujing nodded with a smile in his eyes.

Shen Zhi Qiao's face lit up as he turned around.

The smile on his face vanished, but it turned white all of a sudden.

Quietly touching the bag on her sleeve, she took a deep breath and walked out.

It was unknown if it was because she was too nervous or something, but a sudden gust of wind rushed in from the outside and knocked her to the ground. Then she heard someone hurriedly report to her.

"Master Hou, something bad happened, Miss Shen …"

Before she could finish her words, a figure flew past him.

A flash of sadness passed through Shen Zhi Qiao's eyes. She felt her hands and feet go cold. She was so stiff that she couldn't stand up.

"Madam, let me help you …"

It was the little girl who accidentally bumped into her due to her impatience. She had some impression that it was someone who had personally set up a maid for Shen Shuzhi.

Shen Zhi Qiao passed his hand over to her and asked indifferently, "What happened to Miss Shen?!"

"There are a few reckless thugs who barged into Miss Shen's room with the intention of insulting her. If it wasn't for Miss Shen's loud cry for help that alarmed the Eldest Young Master, the consequences would have been unimaginable!"

Shen Zhiqiao's eyes widened in shock. He vaguely felt that something was amiss. He thought to himself, how could the marquis' residence be so easily invaded by a few criminals?!

Feeling uneasy, she shook off the little girl's hand that was supporting her and immediately rushed over.

The moment he stepped into the guest house courtyard, he saw that it was filled with people, including Qi Muzhu, Duan Qi Feng, Leng Yan, and Qi Muyun.

When the crowd saw her walk in, they immediately made way for her.

Shen Zhi Qiao's eyes flashed. He then walked into the room.

However, when she passed by Qi Muyun, she clearly heard him sneer, "Look at what you've done!"

Clenching his teeth, he pretended not to hear anything as Shen Zhi Qiao continued walking in with his chest puffed out.
