It was dinner time when Ning Ziqing returned to Qingshuang Garden. She first went to the main room to see Huo Yunjue. When she walked into the inner room, she found him lying on the bed with his back to her, seemingly asleep.

Ning Ziqing was afraid of waking him up, so she walked quietly to the bed, checked on him, and saw that his eyes were closed and he was sleeping peacefully, and then walked out of the room.

Listening to her leaving footsteps, Huo Yunjue opened his eyes, with a hint of anger in his eyes.

Huo Yunjue didn't wake up until the servants brought food and soup.

Ning Ziqing couldn't help but feel a little worried. She walked into the room and approached the bed. She just reached out to touch Huo Yunjue's forehead, but he pushed her away.

"Why didn't you say anything when you woke up? I thought you were still sleeping." Ning Ziqing said angrily.

Huo Yunjue turned around, half-smiling, "Are you willing to care about me?" His tone was a little unhappy.

"Why are you angry again? Did you take the wrong medicine?" Ning Ziqing was slightly annoyed and puzzled by Huo Yunjue's abnormal mood.

"Ning Ziqing!" Huo Yunjue tightened his jaw, his face sank, with a hint of anger, "You left and stayed with Jiang Quhan all afternoon and ignored me. I think you are very Are you happy?" He spoke in a sinister tone and stared at Ning Ziqing with a gloomy look, his eyes full of anger.

His sudden anger made Ning Ziqing stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't help laughing, "Are you jealous?"

"Ning Ziqing, who wants to be jealous of you? Stop talking so shamelessly here!" Huo Yunjue didn't want to admit it and looked away with a dark face.

"Okay, okay, I was wrong." Ning Ziqing pursed her lips and hid her smile as she sat on the edge of the bed, leaning over to coax him, "I didn't take your feelings into consideration, don't be angry, it will hurt your body." Recovery is slow.”

Ning Ziqing comforted him, Huo Yunjue glanced up at her, looked away, and ignored her with a straight face.

A quarter of an hour later, Ning Ziqing walked out of the main room angrily holding a pillow and her belongings.

"Yinxiang, bring me the food to the side room. I will live in the side room starting tonight." Ning Ziqing finished instructing Yinxiang with a cold face and walked straight to a room opposite.

Yinxiang and Weiyu looked at each other in confusion, wondering what happened to these two people. They had just reconciled and started fighting again. They were really difficult to handle.

At this time, Huo Yunjue's shout came from the main room, "Wei Yu, take the medicated meal made by Miss Fu San and heat it up. I'm hungry." Wei Yu responded and hurriedly turned around and walked into the main room. .

Ning Ziqing heard Huo Yunjue's words in the opposite room and slammed the door shut in anger, frightening Yinxiang.

That night, the two of them had no contact again, and Ning Ziqing put out the candle early and went to sleep.

Huo Yunjue saw the light in the side room opposite him sneered, and then raised his hand to extinguish the candle in his room.

The next day, Ning Ziqing got up early. After having no use for breakfast, he went to Uncle Fu to ask for the slave register, hoping to find some clues from it.

However, after checking the slave register, she found nothing unusual.

The last entry in the slave register was three months ago. In the past month, the Fu Mansion did not acquire any new slaves.

Ning Ziqing was a little disappointed. She asked Yinxiang to go back to Qingshuang Garden to take care of Huo Yunjue, while she wandered around the Fu Mansion.

Unknowingly, she walked outside Fu Yujie's Xuan Gao Pavilion.

She stood outside the garden for a while, and when she was about to leave, she suddenly heard Mrs. Fu's urgent voice coming from inside the garden: "Erlang, please don't take action recently."

"A miracle doctor and a fourth prince have come to the mansion, and they have sent heavy troops to guard all parts of Fu's mansion. If they find out about our affairs, the consequences will be disastrous!"

Mrs. Fu's words made Ning Ziqing's heart skip a beat.

Her face tightened, and she quickly hid behind a tall camphor tree outside the garden. She turned her ears and heard Fu Yujie's voice saying: "Mother, we don't have time. If we delay it any longer, it will be too late. I won't Be willing.”

"If my grandfather hadn't insisted on dividing the family property, I wouldn't have wanted to do it. If I wanted to blame him, I would have to blame him for forcing me to do this!" Fu Yujie's words were full of resentment and unwillingness.

After he finished speaking, there was a brief silence in the garden.

Then, Mrs. Fu reminded him worriedly: "If you want to do it, do it simply and don't let anyone find out!"

"Don't worry, mother, I will be careful!" Fu Yujie replied with great confidence.

When Ning Ziqing heard their conversation, his eyes gradually turned cold.

She didn't expect that it was Fu Yujie and Mrs. Fu who framed Mr. Fu.

Just as she was deep in thought, the two people in the garden hurriedly walked out. The rapid footsteps made Ning Ziqing step on the branches in panic, making a noise.

When Fu Yujie heard the noise, he immediately shouted: "Who is there!" Mrs. Fu also looked in the direction of Ning Ziqing in panic.

When Fu Yujie rushed over, a black cat suddenly passed by and quickly disappeared from Fu Yujie's sight.

Mrs. Fu's tense expression relaxed when she saw this.

She comforted Fu Yujie and said, "It's just a cat, don't make a fuss, Erlang."

Fu Yujie then turned around and left with Mrs. Fu.After a while, Ning Ziqing heard their footsteps getting further and further away, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

She walked out from behind the big tree and stared at Fu Yujie's departing back with cold eyes. She couldn't help but clenched her fists and gritted her teeth. Her eyes gradually became dark and her heart was filled with anger and hatred.

She vowed to make Fu Yujie pay the price.

When Ning Ziqing returned to Qingshuang Garden, it was almost noon.

She was so preoccupied that she didn't notice Fu Yurong walking into Qingshuang Garden carrying an exquisite porcelain cup.

Fu Yurong saw Ning Ziqing and greeted her with a smile, "Third cousin, please be well."

Ning Ziqing was slightly surprised when she saw Fu Yurong, then glanced at the contents of the tray in her hand, and understood instantly.

She looked at Fu Yurong indifferently, "Is the third cousin here to deliver medicinal meals to His Highness the Fourth Highness?" Ning Ziqing asked calmly.

Fu Yurong lowered her eyes and answered truthfully: "His Fourth Highness thought the meal I cooked was good yesterday, so he asked me to deliver it to him once a day."

When she said this, Ning Ziqing's eyes darkened slightly, and Fu Yurong looked up at her and continued.

"I see that my third cousin has to take care of His Highness the Fourth, and also has to worry about my grandfather's illness, and has to discuss treatment options with Mr. Jiang, so my sister wants to share the worries for my third cousin."

After Fu Yurong finished speaking, she lowered her head slightly, wanting to see Ning Ziqing's reaction.

After listening to Fu Yurong's words, Ning Ziqing looked at her and said immediately: "I see, thank you third cousin for your thoughtfulness." Her tone did not waver: "I happen to have some things that need to be busy these days. Please ask your third cousin to take care of His Highness the Fourth Prince."

After saying that, Ning Ziqing looked at Fu Yurong with a smile, and Fu Yurong was stunned.

She didn't expect that Ning Ziqing would be so generous in agreeing to her approach to Huo Yunjue.

She thought that maybe it was because Ning Ziqing trusted Huo Yunjue too much and would not betray her, or maybe the relationship between the two was not as deep as she thought.

If she could take this opportunity to make Huo Yunjue have a good impression of her, even if she was just a concubine, her status would change.

As for the principal concubine, Fu Yurong knew very well that her ultimate goal was to replace Ning Ziqing's position in Huo Yunjue's heart. She did not have the conditions and opportunities yet, so she could only cultivate a relationship with Huo Yunjue first.

Fu Yurong's eyes were covered with a dark light, and she secretly determined to seize this opportunity.

She was hostile to Ning Ziqing in her heart, but she smiled very gently on her face, "Third cousin, please don't worry, I will take good care of His Highness the Fourth Highness."
