Half an hour later,
Qin Ming and Xiao Qingwan finally finished taking a shower and returned to the bedroom.
Xiao Qingwan's long black hair was scattered, and her whole little face was flushed. She was lying on Qin Ming's chest, and her eyelashes were trembling very cutely.
Qin Ming stretched out his hand to straighten Xiao Qingwan's long hair, and stroked Xiao Qingwan's little head with some pity.
"Wan'er, are you tired?"
Xiao Qingwan opened her beautiful peach blossom eyes, looked at Qin Ming and shook her head gently.
"Not tired."
Qin Ming raised the corners of his mouth slightly when he heard this, put his hands into the quilt and smiled evilly:
"Since I'm not tired, let's continue?"
Xiao Qingwan's beautiful face turned pale when she heard this, and she quickly waved her hands and said:
"Not coming, not coming."
Qin Ming laughed, reached out and patted Xiao Qingwan's back, and said with a smile:
"just kidding."
Hearing this, Xiao Qingwan clenched her fist, lightly knocked on Qin Ming's chest, and said shyly:
"Sir, you are so evil."
Qin Ming stretched out his hand to support Xiao Qingwan's hips, lifted her up, then lowered his head and kissed Xiao Qingwan's lips, and said with a smile:
"Then do you like or dislike such a bad young master?"
When Xiao Qingwan heard this, she instantly recalled in her mind the scene where she had just been entangled with her young master in the bathroom.
She couldn't help but blush slightly, leaned into Qin Ming's ear, and whispered:
"Wan'er likes it."
At this moment, there was the sound of the door opening in the outer room, followed by the sound of a snake coming from outside.
"Sir, Wan'er, are you asleep?"
"Well, it's time to go to bed. It's getting late, so you should go to bed early."
"promise."
After a while, the lights outside the house went out.
The back room suddenly fell into darkness. Xiao Qingwan has been afraid of the night since she ran away from home when she was eight years old. In the past, she would always blow out the candles when she slept alone.
In the past, as long as there was a candle still burning, she would sleep very soundly.
And since she started sleeping with Qin Ming last year, Qin Ming has become her candlelight, even warming her heart more than candlelight.
Let her no longer have to worry about recalling those terrible scenes in exile in her dreams.
Thinking like this, Xiao Qingwan moved closer to Qin Ming's arms.
After being together for so long, Qin Ming naturally knew that Xiao Qingwan was afraid of the night, so after Xiao Qingwan came over, he put his arm around Xiao Qingwan's slender waist and held Xiao Qingwan's small hand with the other.
"Don't be afraid, I will always be with you."
Xiao Qingwan in the dark nodded heavily when she heard the words.
The two were silent for a while. Just when Qin Ming thought Xiao Qingwan had fallen asleep, Xiao Qingwan's soft words rang in his ears.
"Sir, I have been thinking about something for a long time but haven't figured it out yet. Can I ask you?"
Qin Ming opened his eyes and took advantage of the dim moonlight outside the house to look down at Xiao Qingwan who was blinking in his arms with big eyes.
"What can't you figure out? Tell me, Master."
Xiao Qingwan hesitated after hearing this, but finally mustered up the courage and asked with a frown:
"Young Master, I really don't understand. The second son of the eldest grandson family just murdered the Young Master a few days ago. Why are you willing to give him such precious medicinal materials in your house this time?"
This question has actually been in Xiao Qingwan's mind all day. In her opinion, the direct descendants of the eldest grandson family almost murdered the young master last time.
My young master can forgive them regardless of past grievances, which is considered to be the most benevolent and righteous.
This time, he presented them with such precious medicinal materials, which really made Wan'er worry that her young master would suffer a big loss in the future if he was too kind.
Although she didn't read much, she also knew that the sage master once said, repay evil with straightness and repay kindness with kindness.
Even his old man does not agree with repaying evil with kindness.
It is a waste of life and personality for a person to give too much kindness, too much compassion, and use unworthy kindness and dedication to face people and things that do not follow the standards of right and wrong and have failed him. .
It's just that she is the young master's personal maid, so naturally she can't use these sages' principles to preach directly to her master.
She had no choice but to use the stupidest method, first listen to what the young master thought, and then slowly guide him to his ideas. After all, in her opinion, not everyone in the world was worthy of help.
Just like her distant relative in Chang'an City!
Qin Ming looked at Xiao Qingwan's frown and immediately thought that this little girl was fighting for him, and his heart suddenly felt warm.
He stretched out his hand to smooth Xiao Qingwan's slightly wrinkled eyebrows and said with a smile:
"Do you think the young master is too weak and merciful in this matter?"
Xiao Qingwan was caught off guard when her little thought was revealed, and she quickly waved her hand and said:
"No, no. Wan'er didn't mean that!"
Qin Ming reached out and grabbed Xiao Qingwan's two small hands, and then stuffed them into the quilt without any explanation.
"It's cold at night, be careful of catching a cold."
Xiao Qingwan smiled and nodded, then put her little face against Qin Ming's chest, squinting her eyes with a happy look on her face.
Qin Ming pondered while stroking the black hair on Xiao Qingwan's head.
He was thinking about telling Qingwan the whole story. After all, in his opinion, Qingwan was lively, cute, and simple-minded, and he really didn't want her to hear these intrigues!
But I don't want to find any reason to deal with her.
Xiao Qingwan leaned on Qin Ming's chest. Seeing that Qin Ming didn't speak for a long time, she said very considerately:
"Young master, it goes without saying if you are in trouble. Wan'er believes that the master must have done this for a reason. It's very late, let's go to bed first."
Qin Ming looked at the cute and quiet girl in his arms, and finally decided to tell him some truth so as not to worry her.
So he whispered in her ear:
"Actually, I sent someone to beat Changsun Chong!"
Xiao Qingwan suddenly raised her head after hearing this and asked in shock:
"How is this possible? Master, haven't you been busy working on the cement road in Zhuangzi for the past two days?"
"Oh, by the way, it's Zhang Wenyuan, right? No wonder he sent a message back today. That's not right! There is no enmity between Changsun Chong and the young master. Why did the young master send Zhang Wenyuan to trouble him?"
When Xiao Qingwan said this, things related to the eldest grandson's family quickly flashed in her mind.
First, the young master was assassinated by the second son of the eldest son of the eldest son, then Duke Qi brought his two sons to apologize, and the young master's abnormal behavior that day. Finally, today, the eldest son of the eldest son of the eldest son of the eldest son's family was ill in bed, and his life and death were on the line.
After everything was connected together, Xiao Qingwan suddenly sat up, looked at Qin Ming and said:
"Could it be that the person who sent people to assassinate the young master before was not the second son of the eldest son's family? Was he the eldest son?"
Qin Ming pulled Xiao Qingwan back into the quilt, reached out and patted her butt. The crisp sound was particularly clear in the dark night.
Even the snake outside the house trembled when he heard the sound.
Qin Ming helped Xiao Qingwan rub the sore spot and said with a smile:
"My Wan'er is really smart, you can guess it!"
