Feng Ruqing looked at the ignorant girl in front of her. She slowly stood up and put her hand in front of the girl.
âThen would you like to leave with me?â
The girl looked at Feng Ruqing hard and eventually put her hand into Feng Ruqingâs hand.
She smiled brightly. Her smile was as bright as the sun and there seemed to be stars in her eyes that were like a vast sky.
âOkay.â
If it were not for the bad guys outside the door, she would not have hidden in this place for so long.
âHow long have you been in this place?â Feng Ruqing asked as she tilted her head.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
The girl chewed on her finger. âI donât know. My servants used to give me food. Sometime later, all my servants were gone. The bad guys had brought me here. I was so hungry. I found out that the spiritual qi around could fill up my stomach. So, I fed on it.â
Feng Ruqing was shocked.
So, did it mean that the city had become deserted because of Qiuqiu?
âWhat about your servants?â
âDidnât I already tell you? Someone wanted to catch me. My servants had hidden me here to protect me. I did not know what happened after that. I was obedient and I didnât go out.â
Feng Ruqing took the girlâs hand. âDo you know who wants to catch you?â
Qiuqiu stared blankly and shook her head. âI donât know. I donât know anything.â
It seemed that she really did not know anything...
Feng Ruqing did not ask any more questions. She then took Qiuqiu out of the basement.

Little Qing Han was sitting in the courtyard holding a piece of ginseng in her hand. She was biting the ginseng as if she was eating radish.
Suddenly, she saw Feng Ruqing walked out with a pretty young girl. The ginseng almost fell out of her hand.
âMother, donât you like Aunt Gu and Aunt Tang anymore?â
At the same time, Gu Yiyi came out with a bowl of herbal dish.
She was supposed to take the herbal dish to Mu Qingyinâs room. However, she could not help but see the pretty girl next to Feng Ruqing.
The girlâs face was delicate and her big eyes seemed to be smiling. She was so insanely pretty especially her ignorance of the world that was reflected in her eyes. It was so arousing that it made people wanted to protect her.
Gu Yiyi failed to hold the bowl of the herbal dish in her hand. The bowl fell to the ground instantly and broke into pieces.
Xiao Qing had never held her and Xiao Yinâs hands!
How could this girl who came out of nowhere be so close to Feng Ruqing?
Gu Yiyi bit her lower lip. She raised her hand to her chest. She scanned the girl from top to bottom then she turned to look at Feng Ruqing. âXiao Qing, you are still my favorite woman although I am motivated to be your aunt.â
Feng Ruqing was speechless.
âI donât care if you have many wives. But why have you never held my hand? Why? You would only kick me every time we meet.â
Gu Yiyi felt wronged as she continued to speak. She was sad and whimpered like an aggrieved woman.
âDo you not like me and Xiao Yin? It doesnât matter if you donât like us. After all, we will be a family soon. Then, I will always be around you. I will let you know that you are still my favorite woman even if I am married to someone else.â
Gu Yiyi did not care about the bowl on the ground. After finishing her words, she turned around and strode determinedly toward the morning light.
