Rebirth: The Magic Doctor Girl - C49

Thinking of this, Lee Chengji straightforwardly asked his servant to bring Qi Hongxuan to the Eldest Miss’s courtyard.

Although the woman who didn’t leave the pavilion was still in the boudoir and wasn’t suitable to bring the man in, Lee Chengji still wanted to catch up with his good son-in-law. Since he couldn’t care less, he couldn’t wait for the two of them to get into an intimate relationship, so this marriage was a foregone conclusion.

The servant led Qi Hongxuan out of the main hall and into an arch at the side of the main hall. Inside the arch was the inner courtyard, which wasn’t too big, only a few gardens and the largest old lady lived in it. Next was Madame Xu’s Jade Lotus Residence, Yang Suyun’s Jade Pavilion, Lee Miaoyu’s Jade Pavilion, Lee Miaoan’s Ru An Pavilion, Li’s Jin Lai Residence, and a simple and crude courtyard with no name.

Qi Hongxuan gave Laifu a meaningful glance. Laifu immediately understood what was going on. He stopped the attendant who was leading the way and asked, “Little brother, may I ask where Miss Xiaotao lives?”

The servant looked suspiciously at Laifu and did not reply.

Laifu smiled happily, “Oh, it’s like this. That day, I forgot to bring my money bag when I was out. I ran into Miss Xiaotao at the dessert shop in the academy, so I borrowed some money from her. Today, I happened to be at home, so I wanted to return the money to her.”

When the boy heard this, he came to a realization and said to Laifu, “I’ll take you there now, but —” He looked at Qi Hongxuan, who was standing behind Laifu, with difficulty.

Qi Hongxuan immediately acted as if it didn’t matter and said lightly, “There’s nothing to do here, let’s go together and take a look at the scenery of this mansion.”

Only then did the attendant relax and lead the two servants to the main road in the backyard. They walked along a small path, and after turning a few corners, they finally arrived at the simple and crude courtyard Lee Miaoyin lived in. Even though it was called a small courtyard, it was only a few feet away from the dilapidated little house.

“Is this where Xiaotao lives?” Laifu’s voice was raised by quite a bit. In his opinion, the houses in this small courtyard were not even comparable to the greenhouses of the Qi Residence.

The attendant shook his head. “This is where Xiaotao and Second Miss live.”

Qi Hongxuan’s face changed drastically when he heard that. His hands behind his back quickly clenched into fists, wanting to smash them into Lee Chengji’s fake face.

Was such a house really inhabited? Looking at the air leak, wouldn’t winter be cold?

At this moment, Xiaotao came out with a bowl of water. The attendant hurriedly said, “Hurry up and return the money. Don’t stay here for too long. It might not be good for Eldest Miss to see.”

The news of Eldest Miss about to marry into the Qi Residence had already spread throughout the entire front yard, and almost everyone knew about it. Today, if the jealous Eldest Miss found out that Young Master Qi had brought him to Second Miss’s residence, she would break his legs.

When Laifu heard this, he glanced at Qi Hongxuan. Seeing that he nodded lightly, he said, “Then I’ll be going now. Wait here for a moment.”

Laifu followed Xiaotao into the small house in the yard. Not long later, the attendant inadvertently turned around and saw that Young Master Qi had already disappeared. He quickly looked around.

However, he didn’t know that the person he was looking for had already appeared in Lee Miaoyin’s room.

At this moment, Lee Miaoyin was leaning against the window, reading a book. No one knew what she was thinking, but although her eyes were fixated on the book, she was unable to turn the page even after a long time.

“If you keep reading, you will be able to see through the book.”

A familiar voice suddenly sounded from behind her. She abruptly turned her head and her gaze met with a pair of clear and handsome eyes. There was a warm and mischievous look in them.

“Why are you here?” Her pretty eyebrows creased as she stood up and looked around.

“No one has seen me come here. Don’t worry.” He knew the importance of a woman’s good name. He would never do anything that would allow her to be guided and insulted by others.
