In full view of everyone, Xue Heng smiled and asked Qu Linglong to serve him.
And Qu Linglong also agreed.
Xue Hengzhao ate the cake slowly and gave one to Chi Su.
Chi Su refused to eat and said angrily: "I feel sick, I don't want to eat it!"
Xue Hengzhao didn't push back and ate both cakes slowly.
While wiping his hands with Qu Linglong's handkerchief, he said: "I always feel cold air coming from the soles of my feet. Go and get me some foot soaking water for me to soak in."
Qu Linglong quickly agreed and said, "I'll go right away."
Sure enough, after being out for a long time, I was so exhausted that I came in carrying half a bucket of water.
Xue Hengzhao felt that the water was too cold, so Qu Linglong had to get another basin of hot water to add it.
Xue Hengzhao soaked his feet as he wished, and said that his shoulders were sore.
In order to make her let down her guard, Qu Linglong diligently rubbed her shoulders and hit her back.
After Xue Hengzhao finished soaking his feet, he took them out and left them open.
Qu Linglong had to squat down to dry her.
Some people can't stand it and feel that Xue Hengzhao is really a villain.
Xue Hengzhao didn't care at all and kept instructing Qu Linglong to do this and that.
It was soon time to go to bed, and Xue Hengzhao asked Qu Linglong to sleep next to him.
Sometimes she said her legs hurt, and sometimes she said her waist hurt. Qu Linglong had no choice but to massage her over and over again.
Finally she was able to take a rest, and just as she was about to fall asleep, Xue Hengzhao pushed her awake again.
"I'm thirsty. Go and get me some warm water."
Qu Linglong bit her back teeth and cursed in her heart: "Xue Hengzhao, if I hadn't seen that your death was not far away, my aunt wouldn't have taken care of you! You are not beautiful, and your humble bones will be chewed to pieces by wild dogs when the time comes!"
In short, Xue Hengzhao kept tossing her that night and remained silent until the fourth watch.
Qu Linglong was so tired that she slept extremely hard.
Xue Hengzhao gently put his hand into her clothes without her noticing.
After putting on his clothes and getting off the ground quietly, Xue Hengzhao came outside.
I found a sheltered place and uncorked the bottle, and a strong smell came out.
"It is indeed a wood spirit," Xue Hengzhao said to himself, "It took so much trouble to get rid of me."
The reason why Qu Linglong was left behind was because when she was approaching him last night, Xue Hengzhao smelled a strange smell.
No one noticed it, but Xue Hengzhao was as attentive as his hair.
The master once taught her how to identify various poisons, so Xue Hengzhao recognized the smell of wood essence.
This thing is obtained from dry distillation wood, hence the name wood essence.
The smell is very similar to that of wine, but it is highly toxic.
This thing is impossible for ordinary people to have, but it suddenly appeared on Qu Linglong's body. Of course Xue Hengzhao had to be wary.
Xue Hengzhao responded quickly and then returned to the room.
She warmed the porcelain bottle, quietly put it back into Qu Linglong's arms, and then took off the quilt from her body.
Qu Linglong slept like a dead pig, motionless.
Xue Hengzhao covered himself tightly with the quilt, turned over and continued to sleep.
Everyone has to get up before dawn.
Qu Linglong sat up and sneezed twice. The room was still cold.
She touched herself and saw that the porcelain bottle was still there, and she felt relieved.
After getting up early and having dinner, Aunt Ma called Xue Hengzhao and Chi Su out as soon as they arrived at the embroidery workshop.
"You will have to stay here for more than ten days. The place you live in now is really cold and shabby. I have discussed with Aunt Hu to change your place." Aunt Ma also smiled, "A cleanly decorated house. The bedding is all new and there is a heater. It’s just big enough for two people. I wonder if you two are willing to move in?"
"Aunt Ma, you don't have to be so nice to us, just treat us equally." Chi Su said.
"It was me who was reckless before, but now that the bosses are urging me, I am also anxious. I have said some things that I shouldn't have said and done some things that I shouldn't have done. You two girls are so powerful, please don't be like us." Aunt Ma Said, "From now on, we have to take care of each other in this palace."
"In that case, I would like to thank my aunt and Aunt Hu." Xue Hengzhao accepted happily.
Aunt Ma was very happy and said: "Miss Xue is still happy! Then you can pack up and move here today! I'll ask two people to help."
Turning around, Chi Su whispered to Xue Hengzhao: "The people in this palace really have a heart for wealth and an eye for respectability.
Seeing someone standing up for you makes you fawn over. "
Chi Su only thought that everyone was sincerely trying to please Xue Hengzhao, and did not realize that there was any conspiracy here.
Xue Hengzhao smiled but said nothing, "It's already twenty-eight today. You can have a rest the day after tomorrow."
"Yes! This year is about to pass." Chi Su couldn't help but sigh, "This year has been so difficult..."
On New Year's Eve, everyone still did a day's work.
It’s just that the food is better than usual, and I can rest at night.
Xue Hengzhao and Chi Su have moved to a new residence. As Aunt Ma said, this house is very nice.
It was decorated like a snow cave, and there was a big charcoal stove.
In the warehouse, Qu Linglong and Liu Xianghuan were assigned to guard the warehouse.
"Sister Xianghuan, I want to trouble you with something." Qu Linglong took Liu Xianghuan's hand and said softly.
"Sister Linglong, tell me what's going on." Liu Xianghuan responded.
"Isn't this New Year's Eve? I stuffed some money into Eunuch Liu, who cooks the stove in the kitchen, and asked him to prepare four dishes for us and make two plates of dumplings." Qu Linglong said hurriedly, "You also know that I was with Xue Chi and the other two blushed. Although I also apologized to them, I still felt a little uncomfortable after all.
So I wanted to take advantage of today to treat them to food and drinks, and talk things over. My dear sister, you are the most annoying person. You have to go with me, otherwise they might kick me out! "
Liu Xianghuan always liked a harmonious atmosphere, so when he heard what she said, he hesitated and said: "Sister, what you said is right, I am also willing to accompany you.
But we are assigned to guard the warehouse, how can we leave without authorization? If something really happened, it would be a huge responsibility.
Even if nothing happens, it wouldn't be good for others to find out. "
"Good girl, I have thought of what you have thought of. Let me tell you the truth! This is also under the instruction of Aunt Ma and Aunt Hu. I am not only doing things for myself, but also for the two of them.
They can't just apologize to Miss Xue directly, so they specially arranged for you and me to come out today. So today this matter has been cleared up, you don’t have to worry at all.
If this thing is done, it will be good for you, right? Not only do Xue Chi and I miss you, but Aunt Ma and Aunt Hu also miss you! "
Qu Linglong used her sharp tongue to talk nonsense.
Liu Xianghuan knew that what she said was true. No matter how courageous Qu Linglong was, she would not dare to leave her post without permission without carrying the person above her.
What's more, once she opens her mouth, if she doesn't go, not only will she have no merit, but she will have a fault.
And she was no different from a dead person in Qu Linglong's eyes, so he didn't have to worry about leaking anything he said to her.
