Ning Wei smiled slyly, and replied solemnly: "Well, he is indeed the most beautiful man in the capital, with a personable demeanor and a delicious look."

Shi Jingyang stopped what he was doing, looked up at Ning Wei, smiled, and asked solemnly: "It doesn't matter if you are so personable, what's the word beautiful and delicious? How does Ah Wei plan to eat me? Huh?"

When asked by Shi Jingyang, Ning Wei's face was instantly on fire, and she hurriedly lowered her head in embarrassment, wanting to bite off her tongue in annoyance.

Shi Jingyang saw Xiao Nizi was so ashamed that he wished he could get in through a gap in the ground, he pursed the corners of his mouth, and didn't tease her anymore, he lowered his head and continued eating noodles.

Ning Wei secretly glanced at Shi Jingyang, and saw that he was eating noodles with his head down, so he raised his head.

Shi Jingyang drank all the soup in the bowl, put down his chopsticks and said, "Satisfied!"

Seeing that he had finished eating, Ning Wei handed over his own handkerchief, "I didn't prepare a warm handkerchief, this one, I will just use it."

Shi Jingyang rinsed his mouth, put away the handkerchief, stood up and led Ning Wei out.

Shi Jingyang sent Ning Wei to the door of the living room, and said, "It's getting late, let's rest earlier."

Ning Wei asked with some reluctance: "When are you going back to the barracks?"

Shi Jingyang said: "Go back the next morning, and I will come to see you tomorrow."

"But, when Uncle Liu and Uncle Shi return to Beijing tomorrow, I'll go to Dongshui Wharf to pick them up." Ning Wei said awkwardly.

Shi Jingyang stretched out his hand to straighten the hairpin on Zhengning Wei's head, and said in a gentle voice, "It's nothing, you go and do your work, I happen to have something to deal with, and when I'm done with the matter at hand, I'll come to you, okay?"

Ning Wei nodded, "Okay!"

Shi Jingyang lowered his head and kissed Ning Wei's forehead, pinched her face, and said softly, "Go, see you tomorrow!"

Ning Wei stood on tiptoe, kissed Shi Jingyang on the mouth, then waved his small hand to Shi Jingyang, "Qing'an, see you tomorrow."

Shi Jingyang looked at Ning Wei who left quickly from his arms, and couldn't help laughing, the little girl withdrew quickly.

Shi Jingyang watched Ning Wei enter the house before turning around and going back the same way.

After leaving Mingyuan, Qingshan and Qingping followed, bowed to Shi Jingyang and said, "Master! Are we going back?"

Shi Jingyang looked up at the sky, then turned his head and said, "Qingshan will go back to Sanpinxuan, and I will go back to the barracks tomorrow morning to ask for leave for me. Qingping will follow me back to the Marquis' Mansion."

Qingshan got the order, bowed his body, and turned to the direction of Sanpinxuan.

Watching Qingshan walk away, Qingping asked: "Master, do you want to go to Sanpinxuan to catch a carriage?"

Shi Jingyang shook his head and said, "No, let's go back."

After walking a few steps, Shi Jingyang stopped and ordered softly, "Go to the back kitchen of Fengle Building first, and catch two snakes, two scorpions, and two centipedes for me."

"Huh? Now? What do you want these things for?" Qingping asked puzzled.

Shi Jingyang glanced at Qingping, and raised his voice slightly: "Talking! Where are you talking so much?"

Qingping hurriedly leaned forward and said, "Understood, I understand, the little one will go and get it."

Shi Jingyang warned: "Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up, be careful, don't let anyone see you. I'll wait for you at the intersection of Qingyang Street and Zhenbao Street."

Qingping bowed his body to respond, and quickly disappeared into the night.

Shi Jingyang looked around and walked towards Qingyang Street.

Shi Jingyang waited for more than a quarter of an hour at the agreed place, and when he saw Qingping coming this way, he came out from the dark.

Holding three small cloth bags in his hand, Qingping said to Shi Jingyang, "Master, they are all here. There are two green bamboo leaves here. This bag contains scorpions."

After finishing speaking, Qingping raised his left hand and said, "Here are centipedes, both of which are red-headed and five inches long. Both are good things."

Shi Jingyang looked at the three bags and nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, take it, let's go!"

"Yeah!" Qingping followed Shi Jingyang with a bag, and after walking a few steps, Qingping asked, "Master, where are we going?"

Shi Jingyang glanced sideways at Qingping.

Qingping patted his mouth, "Talking too much! I know I was wrong, please punish me!"

Shi Jingyang didn't speak, and continued to walk forward.

Qingping followed behind Shi Jingyang, and stopped talking.

The two walked all the way to the side of Duke Cheng's mansion, Qingping looked at the mansion in front of him, "Isn't this the Duke of Cheng's mansion?"

Shi Jingyang looked at the wall of Duke Cheng's mansion, turned to Qingping and said, "Go, put the snake and scorpion on Mrs. Duke's bed. Put the centipede on Duke Cheng's bed. I'll wait for you here."

"Ah?" Qingping froze in place, thinking he had heard wrong.

"Didn't you understand?" Shi Jingyang said in a deep voice.

Qingping pointed his fingers at the Duke Cheng's mansion inside the wall, and asked: "Master, let the little one go and put the snake and scorpion on the Duke's wife's bed, and put the centipede on the Duke's bed!"

Shi Jingyang said: "Understood, act quickly. I'll wait for you here!"

Qingping bowed and responded, "Yes, I understand."

Shi Jingyang waited outside for less than a quarter of an hour, Qingping climbed over the wall and said to Shi Jingyang, "Master, it's done."

Shi Jingyang nodded and said, "Tonight's matter is rotten to the stomach, understand?"

Qingping bowed and responded, "Yes, I understand."

Shi Jingyang stood with his hands behind his back and looked up at the night sky.

Seeing Qingping, he raised his head and looked up. It was pitch black, and he saw nothing. Qingping withdrew his gaze and looked sideways at Shi Jingyang, "Master, what are you looking at?"

Shi Jingyang raised his hand to stop Qingping from speaking, and listened carefully to the movement in the courtyard.

At this time, the Fu'an Hall in Duke Cheng's mansion screamed in horror one after another, "Ah! Ah! Ah! There is a snake! Ah!"

In the silent night, the screams were especially loud.

Then, a burst of footsteps rushed towards Fu'an Hall.After a while, there were also screams from the Purple Bamboo Garden in the outer courtyard.

Shi Jingyang pursed his lips, walked forward, Qingping followed, and asked, "Master, shall we go back home now?"

Shi Jingyang said happily, "Go back to the house."

The two walked to the east door of Hou Mansion, Qingping was about to knock on the door, but Shi Jingyang stretched out his hand to stop him. "Don't call the door."

After finishing speaking, Shi Jingyang leaped into the air, climbed over the wall and entered the courtyard first, and Qingping hurriedly performed lightness kung fu to keep up.

When the master and servant passed Qinghui Pavilion, they saw that the lights of Qinghui Pavilion were still on.

Qing Ping said: "Master, Master Hou has not rested yet, do you want to greet Master Hou?"

Shi Jingyang stopped, hesitated, turned and walked towards Qinghui Pavilion.

When the porter saw Shi Jingyang, his eyes widened in surprise, he came back to his senses and hurriedly got up, walked out of the room hurriedly, bowed to Shi Jingyang and said, "My lord!"

Shi Jingyang nodded to him and asked, "Father is in the house?"

The concierge replied: "Yes, Master Hou has just sent away Mr. Qiu from the Yushitai. Shizi, I will report to you now."

Shi Jingyang nodded, "I'm sorry."

"Master, you are serious. This is a small matter, and it should be! Wait a moment, Master, I will report to you." The porter leaned forward and walked inside.
