Phoenix Duchess - C45
“Sure.” Dong Ling Wan glanced at Xiao Qian. “But, does Your Highness have no urgent matters to take care of?”
Dong Ling Wan believed that Xiao Qian understood the meaning of ‘important matters’. At a time like this, Xiao Qian, as the commander of the three armies, should have a lot of things to do.
“What do you mean, all of them are pointing at me? What’s the use of asking them?”
Xiao Qian placed the bowl in front of Eastern Ling Wan. Dong Ling Wan froze for a moment, then added another bowl for him. “Thank you, your highness, for saving my life yesterday.”
Dong Ling Wan was about to bow to him when Xiao Qian stopped her with one hand. “It’s only a coincidence that I saved you, so there’s no need to thank me.” “The Black Cloud Mountain will be eradicated sooner or later as well.”
Dong Ling Wan blinked. At this moment, Xiao Qian put down the spoon and said, “What do you want to know? Stop being bored. Take advantage of my good mood and ask.”
This man knew everything! This made Eastern Ling Wan feel a sense of crisis again. It was hard to get to know someone who was too smart, especially someone who was smart enough to understand you.
Dong Ling Wan bit her lip. “Where’s Chen Huan now?”
“He’s had an internal injury and has been treated by the movie star. It will take some time for him to recover.” Xiao Qian raised his head and glanced at Eastern Ling Wan. “He’s not mine.”
No? Eastern Ling Wan frowned, half-believing it.
If it wasn’t his people, then who else would have the ability to arrange someone at her side?
“How did Your Highness know Ling Wan was here …” How do you know I’m at Black Cloud Mountain?
Xiao Qian looked at Eastern Ling Wan, but didn’t say anything for a long time. Right at that moment, Eastern Ling Wan decided to say, “If you’re in a difficult situation, then there’s no harm in not saying anything.” Xiao Gan said: “You …. Didn’t I lose two girls? ”
“And he said that he couldn’t find the person, so it turns out that he met His Highness. Are they alright?” When it came to appreciating the snow and listening to the rain, Eastern Lingwan finally broke into a smile.
Eastern Ling Wan was originally happy, but Xiao Qian continued to stare at her for a long time, “Eastern Ling Wan, even if it’s someone close to you, you must be on guard against them. It is not wrong to have such feelings, but if you have such feelings, it will become a hindrance to you. ”
“It’s a mess to be concerned, but that’s not the reason why you can be sentimental. You are such a smart woman, why are you so stupid now? ”
Dong Ling Wan’s expression gradually turned cold. He had said all that he wanted to say. If he didn’t understand now, then he would really be a fool.
Dong Ling Wan lowered her voice. “They are your people?”
Dong Ling Wan didn’t dare to believe it, as she had grown up with Dong Ling Wan and Dong Ling Yu. Although Eastern Ling Wan also thought that Xiao Qian was lying to her, she didn’t know why, but the more she thought about it, the more it seemed true.
Xiao Qian sighed. He didn’t want to tell her, but there were some things she couldn’t understand. In the future, she would be at a great disadvantage.
Xiao Qian shoved the bowl of porridge back into Eastern Ling Wan’s hands. She tried to dodge it, but failed and could only accept it. However, her eyes were still filled with caution as she looked at Xiao Qian.
“Snow Seeker came back wounded. The other one is not my person. Also, she’s missing.”
“He’s gone missing!” She put the bowl back on the table.
Xiao Qian nodded. This time, Xiao Xue didn’t come with him so he went to look for this girl called Tingyu. It was just that after so many days of not seeing the result, he was either dead or hiding. However, it was impossible for him to avoid the eyes of Xiao Qian’s subordinates with his ability to listen to the rain.
Although Xiao Qian didn’t say it clearly, it was the same as telling her the truth.
Xiao Qian saw that she was silent and continued, “Everything has not been decided yet. The snow is still being enjoyed. You don’t need to worry about it. “Also, about your elder sister …”
“Sister has already rested. She won’t need any help from the hall!”
How could he have the nerve to mention his elder sister? If it wasn’t for him, his elder sister wouldn’t have ended up like this!
Hearing her reproach, Xiao Qian’s heart chilled. She didn’t even give him a chance to explain; this was her so-called trust!
This woman was not as smart as he had imagined!
Explain, this kind of ungrateful woman is not worthy of me explaining to her!
Xiao Qian’s voice was not soft at all. She raised her head and looked straight into his eyes. The two of them looked at each other. He could see her resentment and she could see his disappointment and anger.
Xiao Qian threw the bowl on the table and stood up. “This king is full. Eat it yourself!”
“The palace …” The disappointment and anger in his eyes couldn’t be faked. Could it be that she had wrongly accused him?
Looking at Xiao Qian’s back, Dong Ling Wan lightly frowned. Am I really wrong?
Xiao Qian lived next door to Dong Ling Wan. Dong Ling Wan thought that he would ignore her for a short period of time, but Xiao Qian would accompany her for three meals and a cup of tea each day.
The two rarely spoke, and both tacitly did not mention anything about their displeasure that day.
Dong Ling Wan was always troubled by Dong Hao Jie’s matter. Although Xiao Qian had thoroughly investigated everything, he didn’t dare to tell her now. He was afraid that she wouldn’t be able to take it. As for the unpleasantness of that day, he could only put it aside and bring her around the village from time to time.
The soldiers would always say in private that the two of them were like the head bandits of a mountain village, leading the wife of a bandit on a tour around the place. When these words reached the duo’s ears, Xiao Qian only laughed, but Eastern Lingwan did not mind. However, things like this weren’t even considered rumors, so it didn’t take long for Eastern Ling Wan to get over it.
Since she wasn’t worried about the rumors, it hadn’t been good for her for the past few days. Xiao Qian’s expression that day was still lingering in his mind. Those eyes were filled with anger, disappointment, and even … Heartache! It made her unconsciously feel guilty.
Honestly speaking, he didn’t do anything wrong. He was just offending him, and he was only doing things according to the law. Moreover, he didn’t have any reason to comply with the contract, right?
However, Xiao Qian’s expression that day made him feel as if he had wanted to say something, but he was interrupted.
Now, if he didn’t mention it, it would be even more difficult for him to do so. However, Eastern Ling Wan really wanted to know what he was going to say. Could it be that there was another mystery regarding her sister?
After thinking about it carefully, Dong Ling Wan’s train of thoughts suddenly became much clearer. For someone like elder sister, even if she felt that she was lacking in love with this mortal world, she should still wait until she met her father and elder brother. Moreover, how could it be so easy for her to come in contact with the highly toxic poison from the poison when she was deep within the palace?
When she thought of this, Eastern Ling Wan suddenly wanted to ask Xiao Qian herself, but in the end, she didn’t even take a step forward. Even if she did ask, he wouldn’t say anything!
Forget it! Dong Ling Wan decided not to think about it anymore. It was better to investigate it herself when she returned! If they really misunderstood him … Just apologize again!
Dong Ling Wan couldn’t help but think of the three times she had been hunted down. The person behind all of them was the entire Dong Clan!
On this day, Dong Ling Wan and Xiao Qian were having their breakfast together. While they were chatting, Dong Ling Wan asked about Dong Hao Jie, “Your Highness, has there been any news about my father?”
Xiao Qian’s hand trembled slightly. “I was just about to tell you about this …”
