When Qing Yu had some free time in the afternoon, he took out the book that Hua Niang had given him. After careful consideration, he thought that this must be what Xiao Yanqing had meant.

She opened the book and admired the "wonderful" content inside.

I couldn't help but sigh. I never thought that one day I would specialize in matters related to men and women.

But... this is a really nice painting... it's very detailed.

After a moment, a faint blush permeated her fair skin, and she was completely immersed in it, not noticing Xiao Wenshu who walked in from the door.

"Qing Yu."

Xiao Wenshu was still very worried about her recent situation, so he came to ask her about it. When he walked in, he found that she was reading a book.

"What is Qingyu looking at? Why are you so happy?"

"I..." Qing Yu came back to her senses, and before she could cover up, she was taken away by him out of curiosity.

Xiao Wenshu flipped through the book, and in an instant, the smile on his face froze and he immediately closed the book.

"Qing Yu! What do you think of this?!" Xiao Wenshu asked in shock.

How old is Qingyu? How can she read these?

"This is... given to me by Hua Niang." She explained calmly.

Xiao Wenshu was suddenly speechless, and raised his voice uncontrollably, "She... why did she give you this?!"

"What did you give her?" At some point, Xiao Yanqing also walked in from outside and heard their conversation.

She stood up subconsciously. How could this be such a coincidence? She was clearly thinking about watching from inside the house, so why did he come over?

Seeing this, Xiao Wenshu quickly hid the book behind him and said, "It's nothing, brother."

He immediately noticed what Wen Shu was hiding and became displeased, as the two of them were always hiding things from him.

"take it out."

"Brother, it's really...it's nothing." Xiao Wenshu looked bitter.

"Don't let me repeat myself."

Due to his powerful majesty, Xiao Wenshu had no choice but to take it out fearfully.

He took it and said, "It's just a book, why are you so nervous?"

Until he casually flipped through the contents, suddenly lowered his brows, his anger grew rapidly, and he closed the book with a "snap".

Her and Xiao Wenshu's hearts also skipped a beat at this sound.

"Why did she give you this?!" he asked, pointing to the book in his hand.

Qing Yu blinked, the blush had not yet faded from her cheeks.

"Hua Niang asked me to study, saying that it would be useful sooner or later, and she would teach me how to put it into practice when I go there..." She told the truth. Wasn't it arranged by him?

"Qianyun!" he shouted angrily.

Qian Yun ran in from outside the house with a panicked look on his face, "Your Highness."

He threw the book at Qianyun and said, "Go! Tell Hua Niang! She doesn't need to learn this!"

Qianyun was puzzled until she picked up the book on the ground and flipped through it, then she understood the source of His Highness' anger.

"Yes, Your Highness. Qianyun will go right away."

Qian Yun left in a hurry, and the atmosphere in the room became increasingly awkward.

"You...did you see it?" He looked at her with her head down.

Qing Yu was startled, "I saw it."

Only then did he notice that the slightly red skin on her cheeks had spread to her neck.

"It's written very clearly..." she muttered.

"Jiang Qingyu!" He interrupted her with an angry warning.

"She told you to look, so you looked! Why haven't I seen you being so obedient?!" His anger seemed to be harder to suppress than ever before.

"I thought this was His Highness's request, so I listened..." She said softly, a little aggrieved.

"When will I..."

Meeting her innocent eyes, the drooping corners of her eyes made her look even more pitiful. Then he realized that she had done nothing wrong.

"Forget what you just saw. Tell me in advance what she asks you to do." He ordered again.

"Okay." she responded.

He didn't leave the room until he heard her agree.

She and Xiao Wenshu looked at his leaving figure and looked at each other helplessly, "Why is Your Highness so angry?"

"Qingyu, don't take it to heart. My brother is probably worried that Qingyu will learn bad things." Xiao Wenshu comforted her.

"Being a bad person..." She was puzzled. Is that all?

"Yes, Qingyu is only a little older."

"However, I rarely see my brother like this." Xiao Wenshu also found it very strange. He rarely saw his brother lose control of his emotions. It seemed that he was not simply angry, but more like he had some other emotion.

She sat down, played with the oranges on the table, and said casually, "Your Highness seems to have not yet told me what you want to see me about."

"That's right." Xiao Wenshu also discovered it immediately.

At this time, Xiao Yanqing, who had just walked out, stopped and felt a little annoyed. Then he remembered that he had something to say to her, so he let it go.

"Your Highness, we received news that his people have begun a secret investigation." The guard came to report.

"All the news about her?" He looked calm, as if everything was within his expectations.

"Yes, Your Highness. Jiang Mo sends people here almost every day, so they must be Jiang Zhuo's men." The guard confirmed again.

He considered for a moment, "Have all traces of her been eliminated?"

"Yes, completely in accordance with your Highness's order."

"Okay, let them continue monitoring."

"Yes, Your Highness." The guard leaned forward and stepped away.

He had already expected that Jiang Zhuo would secretly investigate Jiang Qingyu's situation. As she said, Jiang Zhuo could hardly sit still.

At this moment, a question suddenly flashed through her mind. If Jiang Zhuo really took her back, what would happen to her? If what she said was true, would she be returning to the suffering of hell?

In an instant, he dismissed the idea. This was not something he should care about. He only cared about his own purpose.

……

The next day, Xiao Wenshu sent her back to Huanxiang Pavilion, and Hua Niang, who greeted her, arranged her next guests.

"Tomorrow it will be Master Xiang Heng." Hua Niang gestured.

"It seems like I've seen him three times in the last month," she began.

Because she specifically told Hua Niang that there were a few important people and as long as they had an appointment, it should be arranged as soon as possible. The purpose was simply because their identities were of great benefit to her.

"Yes, this Young Master Xiang Heng is truly infatuated." Hua Niang sighed. Even for her, it was rare for her to see such an infatuated man. Perhaps, it was just because this man was her, Jiang Qingyu.

"Miss Qingyu, I hope you can forgive me for what happened before. It was my own decision, not your Highness's intention."

She hesitated a little, "It's okay, I understand what Hua Niang means."

"It's getting late, Miss Qingyu, you should go to bed early." After Hua Niang gave the instructions, she left.

She was the only one sitting in the room, looking out the window at the moon in the night sky, with a lot of thoughts in her mind.

According to her memory of Jiang Zhuo, the time is almost right. Her value is now obvious, and it may only be in the next few days.

She was just wondering what the real Jiang Qingyu would feel? Fear? Horror? Or hatred?
