"Mr. Earl?" Wendy was a little panicked when she heard him coming, "Could it be that Ronnie went back to complain?"

As she spoke, she tried to comfort Ruan Xingmian again, "Master Hua Qing, don't worry. We all saw that it was Princess Luo Ni who was rude first. I will definitely explain it clearly to the Earl. He is not an unreasonable person and will not blame you."

Ruan Xingmian felt that the Earl's arrival was not that simple.

"Thank you for your kindness. Let's go out and take a look first."

When Ruan Xingmian and Wendy went out, the entrance was already occupied by other rich girls. The two did not push forward and stood quietly at the back.

As soon as the door opened, the earl, wearing a light-colored suit and with elegant features, walked in.

He was followed by four personal bodyguards.

"My Lord Count!"

Although the Earl was about the same age as many of the daughters' fathers present, the noble aura built up by money and power was enough to make up for the age gap.

Therefore, many rich girls are still very willing to contact him.

"Hello everyone, I made this sudden visit because I wanted to find a..."

The Earl's gaze moved around the room and then fell on Ruan Xingmian. His thin lips stretched slightly, revealing a gentlemanly and elegant smile.

"I have something to discuss with Master Hua Qing. I hope I haven't disturbed your fun."

The daughters thought he was here for the tea party, but they didn't expect he was here for Master Hua Qing.

Everyone looked at him with a little fear.

When Wendy heard that the Earl was indeed here for Ruan Xingmian, she quickly explained, "My Lord Earl, Princess Roni was rude first and ignored Prince Henry's instructions to embarrass Master Hua Qing. Master Hua Qing had no choice but to fight back, and it was an accident that he hurt her. Please don't blame Master Hua Qing."

When the other daughters heard her words and looked at the earl's expression, which did not seem angry, they hesitated for a moment and then spoke out in support.

"My Lord Earl, Master Hua Qing cannot be blamed for what happened today..."

The Count listened to everyone very patiently before raising his hand and pressing it down.

Everyone understood the instructions and shut up.

The Earl smiled and explained, "I'm not here to accuse you of anything. I just want to ask Master Huaqing about something personal. Don't be nervous."

When everyone heard this, they breathed a sigh of relief.

"You're not here to blame Master Hua Qing, that's great!"

"Yes, luckily I spoke up just now, otherwise Master Hua Qing would have a bad impression of me."

"That was the smartest moment of my life. I hope Master Hua Qing will forgive our initial disrespect for her because we spoke up for her."

"Master Hua Qing doesn't look like a stingy person. He shouldn't care about it anymore, right?"

Everyone was not very sure.

After seeing the Earl take Ruan Xingmian aside to talk, they quickly surrounded Wendy and expressed their concerns.

Wendy couldn't help laughing when she heard this. "Although Master Hua Qing looks young, she is more open-minded than many people. You don't have to worry about it. By the way, Teacher Hua Qing recommended a facial mask to me just now. It's very useful. You can see that the fingerprints on my face are gone, and my skin has become better!"

Everyone immediately became interested and asked what kind of mask it was. They also wanted to place an order.

A quiet corner of the banquet hall.

Ruan Xingmian and the Earl sat opposite each other, each waiting for the other to speak.

The Earl no longer had the warmth and kindness he showed towards the other daughters. His entire face was shrouded in the shadow of the backlight, making him look unpredictable.

"I've heard that Master Hua Qing is an excellent doctor, but I didn't expect you to be so young. You look even younger than my daughter."

Seeing that he had started to exchange pleasantries, Ruan Xingmian was not in a hurry and said calmly, "Lord Earl has good eyesight. I am indeed younger than Princess Luo Ni. Besides, medical skills know no nationality, and naturally no age."

The Earl frowned slightly, feeling that the first half of her sentence was a mockery of him for bullying the weak.

But after hearing the second half of the sentence, he felt as if he was overthinking it.

How could someone with such a strong will say such a thing?

He took a deep breath and there was a faint fragrance in the air.

Ruan Xingmian noticed that his eyes changed several times, but he was reluctant to speak, so he also remained silent.

The main point is that if you don’t chat awkwardly, I won’t chat.

The Earl thought that although Ruan Xingmian was calm, she was young after all, and would definitely not be able to help but ask him the purpose of looking for her. However, after waiting for a long time, he saw that Ruan Xingmian had very naturally taken out her mobile phone to kill time.

A nameless anger immediately rose up in my heart.

"Master Huaqing, do you like to use perfume?"

Ruan Xingmian paused slightly while playing games, and realized why he came.

He noticed that someone had entered the study, but because she had restored a lot of things and tampered with the surveillance, he couldn't find out who it was.

But he had tampered with the smell, so he was testing her.

She answered as she rushed through the gate, "I don't like it."

A dark light flashed in the earl's eyes, and he was about to continue.

“But my family loves flower arrangements, so our house is filled with the scent of flowers.”

What the Earl wanted to say was immediately stuck in his throat.

His daughter also likes flowers very much, but he thinks flowers will always wither.

So he specially found a great perfumer to mix a scent in the room that was closest to natural floral scent.

"Your mother doesn't happen to like roses, does she?"

Ruan Xingmian raised her eyes calmly, "My mother doesn't like roses, she likes lilies."

The earl raised the corners of his mouth, and the ends of his eyes also rose, creating a slight arc.

"That's really unfortunate. I thought girls all liked the same flowers. After all, I smelled a special rose scent on Master Hua Qing."

Ruan Xingmian smiled lightly, "Special rose scent? Lord Earl, are you talking about the grafted roses in your garden?"

"I didn't expect that Master Hua Qing had also heard of this rose patch. That makes things easier."

The Count leaned forward, his eyes firm and determined.

"Master Hua Qing, please explain. You have never been to my rose garden, so why do you have the scent of my rose garden on you? You should know that my rose varieties are unique in the world. If you hadn't been there, it would be impossible for you to have this rose scent on you."

And this smell, apart from the garden, can only be found in his daughter's dark room.

Ruan Xingmian felt a little cold in his heart, but his eyes remained calm.

"My Lord Earl, what do you want me to admit by saying this?"

"The word 'force' is not quite appropriate. I thought Master Hua Qing also liked to study flowers, so I asked out of curiosity."

The Count was watching her the whole time, not missing any changes in her expression.

Ruan Xingmian let her look at him without changing his expression. "The Earl guessed wrong. I am not interested in flowers. What I like is studying medicine, such as poisons that kill people without being seen."

The Earl's face stiffened slightly, and his body, which had been leaning forward, immediately retracted. His posture no longer had the aggressiveness he had just had, but became much gentler.

"I came to see Master Huaqing today to ask if you are free in the next two days. I have a friend who is sick and her symptoms are quite complicated. I would like you to take a look at her."

Ruan Xingmian had just finished playing the game. Hearing this, he said coldly, "The Earl should know my medical procedures. Please make an appointment with my assistant first. This is my medical rule. If you want me to treat you, you must abide by my rules. No one has privileges."

After hearing her words, the count was not angry, but instead showed an intriguing smile.

After leaving the tea room, the count did not leave immediately.

A few minutes later, a black Maybach appeared at the door of the hotel.

His nephew Henry and Fu Siyan got out of the car in a hurry and ran straight into the hotel.

A minute later, a staff member in hotel uniform came out, came to his car and bowed to report: "My Lord, as you expected, Prince Henry came very quickly. Someone must have tipped him off."

The count was playing with his cigar with a relaxed look, but his eyes were filled with hidden power.

"Find the person and throw him directly into the sea."
