As soon as the girl from the Qi family was mentioned who often did good deeds, everyone started talking more.

However, how could they have imagined that Miss Qi Liu, whom they were discussing so heatedly, was being held captive in the Qi Mansion by her eldest sister to establish rules, and had no chance to go out to see Jing Yu off.

Qianxue lowered the car curtain to isolate the commotion outside, and Grandma Li patted her arm worriedly.

The carriage drove slowly towards Jingfu, Qianxue couldn't help but look at Nanny Li's behavior curiously.

"It's true that you can live a comfortable life. The young master has always been thinking of you in his heart, and your life will only get better and better in the future."

Qianxue thought about it and came up with some ideas.

It's probably that Grandma Li was afraid that those remarks just made her hurt. Who, a girl from a good family, doesn't want to be the right lady?

She didn't know whether she would be sad before, but now that she had decided to leave Jing Mansion, she didn't have any special feelings about these remarks. It was just a transitional status, so why worry about it so much.

The day when Miss Qi Liu enters the mansion is not that far away. If she feels uncomfortable because of such words every time, she may not be able to live her life anymore.

She didn't want to live the kind of life where she looked forward to Jing Yu's mercy every day and could only feel aggrieved and miserable when she couldn't see Jing Yu.

That's what she thought, but after Jing Yu left, she still felt a lot empty in her heart and around her.

She adjusted for a few days, but when she saw that Nanny Li didn't give her any new jobs, she asked Tian Meng to buy some books for her.

After she leaves the house, if she wants to make a living, it is still necessary to understand some basic knowledge.

Ansheng, who read books, walked around every day, and occasionally helped Grandma Li with some things, made Qianxue sigh comfortably, and the discomfort caused by Jing Yu's departure was completely wiped away.

In late spring, Qi Lingying's greeting card was sent to Jingfu, inviting Qianxue to go fishing with her.

Qian Xue was a little confused. She didn’t know that it was only March, so where could she go fishing?

However, there was no room for her to refuse the invitation sent by Qi Lingying.

She had to discuss it with Ah Zhihaosheng, and tried her best to find some plain and simple clothes. Even her hair accessories only had a silver hairpin inserted, for fear that Qi Lingying would think that she had something wrong.

Until she got into Lifu's carriage, her heart was in a panic.

She rarely thought of Jing Yu. If she really left Jing Yu, wouldn't she have to face all this...

It's a pity that without what-if, there is no way to go back to the original time. The carriage swayed but still pulled her to the destination.

She looked around the environment and saw Si Zhu coming to greet her.

"Miss Qianxue, please come this way. My young lady is already waiting."

When Qianxue heard this, she felt uneasy again. She didn't know how long Qi Lingying had been waiting. Will she be punished for this later?
The wind in March was still cold, and Qian Xue shrank from being blown away. She didn't understand why she chose such a day to go fishing.

She followed Sizhu to the lake and saw no one except that the fishing gear had been set up.

"Miss Sizhu, why haven't you seen Miss Six?"

"The temperature has dropped a bit now. The young lady is afraid of being cold, so she said she can fish again when the sun is higher."

Sizhu replied with a smile, and then led Qian Xue into the room.

The cold wind from the outside world was cut off, and the burning charcoal fire made the room warm. As soon as Qian Xue entered the door, she saw Qi Lingying leaning on the rocking chair covered with cotton cushions and reading a book.

"It's still a little cold outside. There's a brazier by the door. Let's go first to get rid of the cold. When it gets warmer, come over and sit with me and talk for a while."

Qi Lingying looked up at her with a smile. After finishing the arrangement, she lowered her head and continued reading. Qianxue didn't dare to say anything, so she warmed herself by the door obediently, and then walked into the house.

"My slave, greet Miss Sixth." Qianxue said in a weak voice.

Qi Lingying put down the book, motioned her to sit down with her eyes, and said casually: "Master Jing is not here, but someone is treating you harshly?"

"It's nothing. The young master manages the yard very well. Everyone knows the rules and doesn't dare to be mean to others."

Qianxue hurriedly explained, but Qi Lingying said "Oh?" with a rising tone.

"The last few times I saw you, you were well-dressed and well-dressed. Today, even the hairpin is made of plain silver. How do you say that no one treats you harshly?" Qi Lingying raised her hand and pointed at Qian Xue's bun.

Qian Xue looked depressed and felt as if she had shot herself in the foot.

Seeing that Qian Xue didn't speak, Qi Lingying's voice softened a lot, "Before Lord Jing left, he gave me the deeds of all his properties in the imperial capital and the personal deeds of his servants."

Qian Xue trembled and looked at Qi Lingying uncontrollably. She wanted to know, could her body bond be among them?

Qi Lingying was already smiling, but when she saw Qian Xue's reaction, her smile became even brighter.

She now fully understood that Qianxue's body bond was probably no longer in Zhao's hands a long time ago, and should now be directly in Jing Yu's hands.

"Since I have taken over this responsibility, and Master Jing cares about you the most, I naturally have to take care of you more."

Qi Lingying spoke so naturally, Qianxue could only respond passively, not daring to ask more about her personal bond, for fear that Qi Lingying would pinch her lifeline.

"My slave has been a servant since she was a child. She can live if she stutters. How dare you bother Miss Sixth?" Qianxue is used to saying some self-deprecating words.

Qi Lingying did not let her go as she expected. Instead, she turned around and called: "Huamei, go get the things I prepared for Miss Qian."

The maid named Hua Mei neatly brought a small box, and Qi Lingying smiled and motioned for Qian Xue to open it.

Inside lay several beaded hairpins, a bracelet, a box of lipstick, a box of rouge, and a well-watered jade pendant engraved with snow-falling red plum blossoms.

"It's cold outside and the road is slippery. I was afraid that you might twist your foot like the last time I went out, so I took it upon myself to buy some for you and bring them over to see if you like them?"

Qianxue hurriedly pushed the things back, "The things are too valuable. I don't have much merit, so I don't dare to accept them."

Qi Lingying pushed the box over again, "This silver hairpin of yours doesn't even have a pattern. It makes me feel sad just looking at it. If Master Jing knew that I took care of you like this, he might start a fight with me. .”

Qianxue didn't dare to push it anymore, but she didn't intend to reach out to take it.

She only felt that the stool was full of nails, which made her sit on pins and needles.

Qi Lingying took out the jade pendant from the box, leaned lazily on the lounge chair, and looked at the sun.

"If Miss Qian feels she deserves it, why not give her something in exchange?"

Qian Xue's whole body was tense. The situation she least expected to see happened.

Qi Lingying lowered her head and untied Jing Yu from her waist and handed it to the jade pendant, and then handed the two jade pendants to Qian Xue together.

"Miss Qian, the one I gave you is no worse than the one I'm wearing. This jade pendant alone won't make you suffer."

She handed the red plum jade pendant forward again, "Along with other things in the box, this is the mandarin duck jade pendant given to you by Mr. Jingjing."
