Looking Forward to Your Returning - C13
She stood still and clenched her fists. First, she went through the plan in her mind. After confirming that there was no mistake, she whispered to her ear, “Your Highness has passed the trial here. Please rest assured!”
“Thank you, sir.” A clear and clear warm voice came out, causing Qu Qingge’s body to stiffen. She accidentally bumped into a potted plant under the overhang.
“Father, the weather has been very cold recently. Mother has ordered her daughter to prepare hot soup for you.” As they spoke, Qu Qingge had already clearly seen that there was an unusually tall person sitting in the shadows of the study.
Qu Qingge was shocked, and her mind immediately skipped a beat.
“You really can see it?” Qu Qingge was suspicious of his existence, because in her previous life, she had never seen him before.
If he remembered correctly, he would drown in the lake next year.
The reason she knew was that and the two sisters were also at the Eastern Mountain at that time, and they had personally witnessed his corpse being taken ashore.
At that time, he was wearing a thin and simple shirt that tightly wrapped around his body, and his face was ghastly pale and had already become swollen, so she wasn’t able to recognize him after meeting him twice.
She had fallen into the midst of Liang Jue’s death and ignored his words, making him extremely angry.
“Mister, you’re being too serious. It’s not inappropriate for the young miss to be so cute.”
Qu Qingge was praised so much that both her eyes jumped. He had once seen her climb walls, but he even praised her as cute and cute. No matter how he listened, she felt that something wasn’t right.
He definitely wanted her to cover up the matter of him sneaking into the mansion in the middle of the night. With this knowledge, Qu Qingge also felt that something was wrong when he saw his gentle and exquisite smile.
Liang Jue tried to explain for her, but Qu Yuanqiao didn’t let go of such a small matter. He spread out his hands and asked her why she had come here, she had never come to this study room before.
“It smells so good…” Liang Jue suddenly walked out from the shadows. His complexion was clear and his eyes were like the distant mountains. Unfortunately, his narrow and long phoenix eyes were gloomy. It was clear that he couldn’t see anything.
“This is my daughter’s hot soup. If Your Highness doesn’t mind …” Before Qu Yuanqiao could finish his words, Liang Jue’s hand had already reached out to him.
Qu Qingge was startled, only after a while did she come to her senses, and immediately scooped up a bowl of hot soup and handed it over to him.
When their hands came into contact, his fingers accidentally touched her fingertip. It was warm in his hand, causing Qu Qingge’s mind to shake. He subconsciously wanted to let go, but Liang Jue’s finger was one step ahead of her, and grabbed the bowl away from her.
“Miss Qu, you’ve gone through so much trouble to cook this hot soup. It would be a pity if you just spilled it like that!” His voice was clear and pleasant to the ear, causing one to feel a wave of emotions in their heart when they heard it.
Qu Qingge just blankly watched as he finished the bowl in one gulp, while revealing an extremely delicious expression.
Encouraged by his expression, Qu Yuanqiao took a sip of the hot soup dubiously.
The taste was indeed good.
“When did you learn this cooking technique?” In her memories, Yu Shi was the one who hated cooking the most, so she was especially unwilling for Qu Qingge to get into the kitchen.
“Mother told daughter to cook it for father. If father tastes it, it’s fine, but daughter will grill it for father another day.”
Hearing Yu Shi’s orders, Qu Yuanqiao believed that the eldest daughter was the most bored and dull in his heart, completely not knowing how to get along with others at all.
“Your mother is being considerate. She is not well, so you should tell her to rest well. Don’t work hard for me.” His heart softened a bit. In his memory, Lady Yu’s face matched up with the pretty and beautiful girl when they were newlyweds.
Once upon a time, Lady Yu had been gentle and dainty. However, it was unknown when it had become sharp and piercing. If anything went wrong, she could shout it out immediately and not leave anyone any face.
Let alone him, her husband, even the madame in Fupin House had been angered by her before.
“Mother has always cared about Father, and this was initially just a spur of the moment …” Qu Qingge wanted to explain a few things, but this was a matter between husband and wife. Since it was a matter of Liang Jue, she did not want to say anything more, but seeing how he was hesitating to speak made others break out in cold sweat for her.
“Qu Erxiaojie knows her place, I believe Second Mistress Qu is the same!” Liang Jue had a clear and handsome look between his brows. There were some things that it was inconvenient for him to say, he could only say them if he wanted to.
Qu Qingge looked at him with suspicion and caution before giving him a faint smile. After laughing, she swept her gaze across his empty eyes, only then did she remember that he was a blind person who could not see.
After drinking the hot soup, Qu Yuanqiao slowly recalled his previous warm relationship with Yu Shi and promised to visit his later.
Qu Qingge’s objective was to obtain blessings so she left. When she walked out of the room, she took a glance under the eaves and saw the familiar rose-red embroidered shoes as expected.
After passing through the corridor, she came to the garden in front of the courtyard. Seeing those clumps of red plum blossoms blooming like blood and looking incomparably gorgeous, she couldn’t help but stand there quietly.
Liang Jue walked out of Qu Yuanqiao’s study, the Blindness Staff in his hand was like a spirit serpent as it guided him forward.
“Thank you for your kind words just now!” Qu Qingge saw him from afar and expressed her thanks.
“That’s fine, but Second Miss doesn’t have to take it to heart!” A light smile appeared on Liang Jue’s handsome face.
“Your majesty seems to be very familiar with the house?” He was so familiar with the inner courtyard of the mansion that he could actually enter it at will.
“Second Miss misunderstood. She was definitely lost that day.” Liang Jue’s heart sank, his face remained calm as he pointed to the dim and lifeless eyes.
“I mean that night …” She had been pretending to be a servant girl all day, and now that she admitted it, wouldn’t she admit to it?
