"Can... can you change the requirement. It's difficult to kill people in the mansion of Marquis, not to mention that he was protected by Shuo Ling. That's impossible." Although Qiao Shu didn't want to be entangled with Shuo Ling anymore, she didn't want to make trouble for him.

Lan Ruojing sighed and looked at Qiao Shu with a smile, "If you appear in Jing City with disheveled clothes, not to mention Shuo Ling, there will be no one wanting to marry you. At that time, you will become a laughingstock..."

"No, no. I, I will do that." Qiao Shu thought of the dirty talk of Liu just now. She felt afraid.

Lan Ruojing leaned over to help Qiao Shu up, "Miss Qiao, don't be afraid. I will help you. They don't dare to touch you and I will send you back. But if you can't do as you promised..."

Qiao Shu broke away from Lan Ruojing's hand. She was trembling.

"I won't harm you. You don't need to be like that." Lan Ruojing withdrew his hands.

Qiao Shu didn't want to talk with him, "If you don't have other things to tell me, I will leave now."

"Shall I send you back?" Speaking this, Lan Ruojing gave way to her.

Qiao Shu shook her head and hurriedly left.

She returned home in despair.

At this time, the meal was ready.

"You're back." Qiao Yanlin glanced at Qiao Shu, who was empty-handed, "Didn't you go to buy roast goose?"

Qiao Shu responded, "I... I forgot to take money."

"It doesn't matter. We can eat roast goose another day." Shen Yang said with a smile.

"Why are you looking so pale? What happened?" Qiao Yanlin was a little worried.

Qiao Shu shook her head, "Don't worry, dad. I'm fine. I'm just too tired from the journey these days. I will be fine after taking a rest."

"Then you can go to have a rest now. When you feel better, remember to have some food." Qiao Yanlin said.

Qiao Shu nodded slightly to Shen Yang and walked to her room.

"Please forgive her impoliteness." Qiao Yanlin said to Shen Yang with a smile.

Qiao Yanlin was still worried during the meal.

After the meal, Shen Yang said that he needed to go to the hospital and left.

After Shen Yang left, Qiao Yanlin brought some food and walked to Qiao Shu's room, "How are you feeling? Get up and eat something."

"Dad, I have no appetite." Qiao Shu sat up and said to Qiao Yanlin.

After Qiao Yanlin heard this, he put the food on the table and then sat down in front of Qiao Shu, "I want to ask you something."

"Daddy, what do you want to ask?" She looked at him.

Qiao Yanlin asked, "I heard that Her Highness was poisoned in Jiandu. Does it have something to do with you?"

Before Qiao Shu said something, Qiao Yanlin added earnestly, "I know that you love Marquis Shuo deeply, but I don't want you to go the wrong way. Do you understand?"

"Dad, don't worry. I have nothing to do with this." She was afraid that Qiao Yanlin would not believe it.

She added, "After I went to Jiandu, I realized that Her Highness and Marquis Shuo are a perfect match. I am willing to give up. I won't do the wrong things."

"Is that really what you think?" Qiao Yanlin was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Qiao Shu could let go of her obsession with Shuo Ling.

Qiao Shu nodded seriously, "Dad, what I said is exactly what I think."

"Well, well. Then I have nothing to worry about. I will find you a better husband than Marquis Shuo." Qiao Yanlin relieved.

Qiao Shu smiled, "I'm a little tired. I want to have a rest."

"Okay. Have a good rest. I'm leaving now." Qiao Yanlin walked out of the room and closed the door.

After Qiao Yanlin left, the smile on Qiao Shu's face disappeared. At this moment, she regretted a lot. She shouldn't have any relationship with Lan Ruojing. Now she was in a quandary.

If Lan Ruojing reported the matter about the victims to His Majesty, not only would she lose her reputation, but also her father would be implicated. Now she was in a dilemma.

Thinking about this, Qiao Shu planned to go to the mansion of Marquis to have a look.

Qiao Shu saw that Shuo Ling was about to leave when she arrived. She hurriedly found a place and hid. After Shuo Ling went far away, she went out.

"Miss Qiao." Qiao Shu had been in the mansion of Marquis before, and the guards knew her.

A guard said to Qiao Shu, "His Lordship just went out. I'm afraid that you missed him."

"I seemed to have left something important here. I couldn't find it anywhere in my home, so I wanted to come and find it." Qiao Shu subconsciously glanced at the direction Shuo Ling had left.

After listening, the guard nodded and let her in.

After entering the mansion of Marquis, Qiao Shu went straight to the west yard, where the honored guests lived.

After a long time, Qiao Shu still did not see Xu Qing.

"Miss Qiao?" Qiao Shu was surprised when she heard the voice. She turned her head and saw a man looking at her.

Qiao Shu knew this person. He was called Zhou Ji, who took charge of all the affairs in the mansion.

"Miss Qiao, you..." Zhou Ji glanced at Qiao Shu and then looked behind her. Obviously, he saw Qiao Shu coming out of the yard.

Qiao Shu didn't know how long Zhou Ji had been here, so she was cautious, "I left something here, and I came back to look for it. I didn't find it. Maybe I lost it somewhere else."

"I see. Why didn't you ask His Lordship to find it for you?" Zhou Ji looked at Qiao Shu with some doubts, thinking that Qiao Shu would bother Shuo Ling with trivial things in the past.

"No bother!" Qiao Shu felt that she was too excited, so she tried to relieve, "He has a lot of things to do, so I don't want to bother him. It's not important. Maybe I left it somewhere and forgot it."

"Then I will accompany you to find it." Zhou Ji said.

Qiao Shu had to nod.

Zhou Ji looked at Qiao Shu and asked, "Where do you think it might be?"

"Probably the room I lived in before." Qiao Shu was slightly taken aback and said quickly.

Then Zhou Ji said, "Let's go then."

"Okay." Qiao Shu nodded. She always felt that Zhou Ji had already doubted her.

She then followed Zhou Ji to the yard where she lived before.

It seemed that she had to give up killing Xu Qing.

When they came to the room, Zhou Ji turned around and said to Qiao Shu, "Miss Qiao, try to find it carefully."

Qiao Shu nodded after hearing that and had to pretend to search in every corner.

Watching Zhou Ji keep staring at her, she couldn't take out the thing that she had prepared in advance.

After looking around for a while, Qiao Shu got up and walked to Zhou Ji.

"How is it? Did you find it?" Zhou Ji asked.

Qiao Shu shook her head and then pretended to be a little disappointed, "No, I think it must be somewhere else."

Then Qiao Shu looked at Zhou Ji and said, "Sorry for wasting your time."

"It doesn't matter." Zhou Ji shook his head.

Qiao Shu said with a smile, "Since I didn't find it, I will go back first."

"I still have something to do, so I can't show you out." Zhou Ji said.

Qiao Shu smiled, then turned, and walked out.

Out of the corner of her eyes, she found Zhou Ji was staring at her, so she walked out obediently.

When Qiao Shu just walked to the gate of the mansion, she heard the guard at the gate shouting, "Your Lordship."

Qiao Shu felt panic, but she calmed down soon, "Your Lordship."

"Miss Qiao, why are you here?" Mo Li, who was following Shuo Ling, asked.

Qiao Shu avoided eye contact with them. She smiled and said, "I lost something. I think it might be here, so I came to look for it."

"Lost something? Then did you find it?" Mo Li glanced at her and asked.

Qiao Shu realized that Shuo Ling was looking at her. She quickly avoided Shuo Ling's gaze and then shook her head, "No, I think I must lose it elsewhere."

"I think it must be important to you." Mo Li said.

Qiao Shu nodded, "It was the purse my mother embroidered for me, but I accidentally lost it."

As she said, she pretended to be disappointed.

She then said, "Since I didn't find it here, I will leave now." She said and saluted. Then she walked out the door.

After she walked away, Shuo Ling said to Mo Li with a cold look, "Follow her."

"Okay." Mo Li answered.

Yang Zijin came to the Blossoming Peach with Pei Moning and Runyu. Looking at the familiar scene, she felt relaxed.

Yun, who followed her, looked at such a large mansion. She was shocked and asked, "Your Highness, is this what you just called the Blossoming Peach?"

"Yes, let's go in and take a look." Yang Zijin nodded and then said.

They walked into the yard.

Yue, who was playing in the courtyard, was the first one to see them, and she yelled happily, "Sister, you are back."

She ran over with a happy look.

Yang Zijin bent down, pinched her face, and asked with a smile, "Did you behave well in these days?"

"Of course. I learned to recite a lot of ancient poems." Yue quickly said.

Yang Zijin patted her on the head and said with a smile, "You are so smart."

Hearing the sound here, Jiang Wei quickly walked over, "Your Highness."

Yang Zijin nodded and then asked, "Where is Xian?"

"Your Highness, he has been in the Woman Flower these days." Jiang Wei said.

Ni Chang, Wen Lan, and others who heard the sound gathered around and were very glad to see Yang Zijin.

They then pulled Yang Zijin to the stool aside to have a seat and massaged her.

Pei Moning walked up to Jiang Wei and said with a smile, "Miss Jiang, it has been a long time since I saw you last time. You're still so serious."
