Qiao Qixin couldn't help but give Li Shangshu a blank look.
Funny, you just beat me up in your daughter’s boudoir, so why don’t you bother her? What are you pretending to do?
Li Shangshu thought Qiao Qixin was provoking him, so he slapped Qiao Qixin on the face again.
There was a burning pain in my nose, and a stream of liquid flowed from my nose.
Qiao Qixin's facial features were wrinkled together in pain.
Li Shangshu was also startled by Qiao Qixin with a bloody face. He tried harder to pull Qiao Qixin out of Li Zhirou's room quickly.
But Qiao Qixin didn't get what he wanted.
She hooked her feet on the threshold and continued to shout, "Zhirou! Zhirou, save me!"
"What are you doing standing still! Carry her out!" Li Shangshu could not stop Qiao Qixin from shouting, so he angrily pointed at the servants in the house and called them to help.
Mihua was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Mother Liang with tears in her eyes.
Mother Liang only cared about Li Zhirou lying on the bed, and didn't even notice Mihua looking at her for help.
Helpless, Mihua had no choice but to lift Qiao Qixin's feet.
Qiao Qixin still refused to give up and shouted, "Zhirou! Save me!"
With the combined efforts of Li Shangshu and Mi Hua, Qiao Qixin was quickly carried to the yard outside Li Zhirou's house.
The moonlight was cold, and Li Shangshu looked down at Qiao Qixin with eyes that seemed to kill someone.
A drop of cold sweat broke out on Qiao Qixin's forehead.
It's okay, it's okay, Li Zhirou still has to rely on my blood to survive, so it shouldn't really kill me.
Li Shangshu knelt down and still looked down at Qiao Qixin.
He waved his hand, and Mihua ran back to Li Zhirou's room without looking back as if she had been rescued.
"Close the door." Li Shangshu said coldly.
There was silence in the courtyard, except for the hoarse and shrill cry of crows from the sky.
"Who sent you? The Jia family? The Wang family? Or the Liu Mansion?" Li Shangshu's eyes looked as if he wanted to skin Qiao Qixin on the spot and be bloodthirsty.
This is, haven’t you dispelled your suspicion yet?
Qiao Qixin thought about countermeasures quickly, "Sir, what are you talking about? I don't understand."
"Don't you understand?" Li Shangshu stood up, "Then, don't blame me for taking action."
Damn, come again?
Qiao Qixin put her hands in front of her face and was forced to meet Li Shangshu's fist.
"father!"
When Li Shangshu's fist was only an inch away from Qiao Qixin's face, he was interrupted by a voice.
Qiao Qixin's chest heaved, she opened her eyes and looked at the fist hanging in front of her with fear.
"Zhirou, why are you awake? Is dad making too much noise? It's okay, dad, please keep your voice down, you go back and go back to sleep." Li Shangshu said.
"Dad!" Li Zhirou squeaked, then stepped forward to hold Li Shangshu's arm, "Dad, it was because I suddenly fainted that I suddenly fainted, regardless of Qixin's business."
Li Shangshu glanced at her, and then sighed, "No... ok, you go back and rest quickly, dad will take her somewhere else, so I won't disturb you."
"Sister Zhirou! You finally woke up! Are you feeling better?" Qiao Qixin lost Li Shangshu's control and immediately rushed to Li Zhirou and asked with concern.
Li Shangshu frowned, but seeing that his daughter was still there, he didn't take action, "Who allowed you to touch Zhirou?"
"Dad!" Li Zhirou feigned anger and stamped her feet, "Qixin is my good friend, dad, please don't touch her!"
As she said that, Li Zhirou reached out and pulled Qiao Qixin behind her.
Qiao Qixin also pulled Li Zhirou's sleeves.
Come on Zhirou! Protect me!
Qiao Qixin silently cheered for Li Zhirou in her heart.
"Zhirou, don't act like a child." Li Shangshu put away his gentle expression when facing Li Zhirou.
"Dad, Zhirou is not acting like a child!" Li Zhirou confronted Li Shangshu without fear.
Behind the door, Mrs. Li held a handkerchief and looked nervously at the father and daughter who were in an unpleasant atmosphere.
She originally wanted to stop Li Zhirou, but as soon as she woke up, Li Zhirou had a clear goal and headed straight out the door. None of the people in the room could react in time to stop her.
"Dad, Qixin is good. She is not someone sent by another family." Li Zhirou patiently explained to Li Shangshu.
"How are you sure?" Li Shangshu thought his daughter was a little funny.
Li Zhirou said stubbornly, "Intuition!"
Li Shangshu:......
Auntie, even if you give a random reason, it would be more reliable than this. Qiao Qixin hid behind Li Zhirou and complained silently.
"Dad! Zhirou is serious!" Li Zhirou was a little anxious when she saw that her father was still indifferent, "Qixin gave me rouge flowers as soon as she woke up after being bled! If she was sent by another family, then
Don’t you hate me so much? Why don’t you send me rouge flowers?”
Qiao Qixin was sweating crazily from behind.
Li Shangshu stared at Qiao Qixin with a scrutinizing gaze, and Qiao Qixin broke out in a cold sweat.
Li Zhirou stepped aside and blocked Qiao Qixin firmly, kicking her to block Li Shangshu's gaze.
"Dad! If you still don't believe it! Just let Qixin live in my courtyard! My daughter will watch her in person!" Li Zhirou said seriously.
Qiao Qixin was silent. Li Zhirou seemed to have said that it was not impossible...
Li Shangshu looked at his rebellious daughter and understood that it was impossible to take Qiao Qixin away again.
He said: "Forget it, I won't move her, but she will still live in the original place, so don't try to drag her here."
Li Zhirou stuck out her tongue and said half-coquettishly, "I know.
"Let's go, why are you standing at the door?" Li Shangshu said displeased, then turned and walked out of the courtyard.
Mrs. Li quickly followed, but when she passed by Li Zhirou, she stopped and said, "Zhirou, please go back to your room and rest quickly. Don't worry about your dad. Mom is here, okay."
"Okay, mother, you should go back and rest quickly. Zhirou will be fine." Li Zhirou patted her chest and assured Mrs. Li.
After Li Shangshu and his wife left, only Qiao Qixin and Li Zhirou were left in the entire courtyard.
"Zhirou, are you really okay?" Qiao Qixin worriedly took Li Zhirou's arm and shook it.
"It's okay, I was just dizzy just now!" Li Zhiju said, "I wanted to continue sleeping, but I vaguely heard you calling me all the time, so I woke up."
Qiao Qixin immediately looked at Li Zhirou with shining eyes, "Zhirou! You are indeed the best!"
[Li Zhirou’s favorability towards you has been increased to 40]
["Increase Li Zhirou's favorability to 40" mission progress: 100%]
[Rewards have been issued automatically, you can enter the system space to choose and use]
Qiao Qixin was surprised, is it full?
Li Zhirou didn't notice. She took Qiao Qixin's hand and smiled, "Okay, you go back first. It's so late, it's time to rest."
"good."
After the favorability level was increased, Qiao Qixin didn't want to stay and continue acting with Li Zhirou, so she went down the slope and agreed.
She walked on the way back to the small courtyard, and then opened the system space.
The real-time map of Li Mansion is located in the first column.
[Are you sure to use it?]
[whether]
Qiao Qixin pressed the "yes" button without hesitation.
In an instant, a light blue map unfolded in her mind.
The red dot is her location. Not far to the left is Li Zhirou's yard, which is a small blue dot with the word "Rou" on it.
To the left of Li Zhirou's courtyard is the courtyard of Li Shangshu and Mrs. Li.
The dots belonging to the two of them are overlapping on the map.
How about taking this time to go to the study and take a look?
Qiao Qixin looked at the location of the study marked on the map and hesitated.
The map shows that the study is not far from Qiao Qixin, about ten meters away.
Qiao Qixin tentatively took two steps toward the study room. Suddenly, several small blue dots appeared in the study room on the map.
Is this a thief?
Qiao Qixin frowned and continued to observe the map.
I saw those few little dots walking around the perimeter of the study very regularly, more like guards than thieves.
Is the study so important that it still needs to be equipped with guards? Qiao Qixin was confused.
After discovering the presence of guards in the study, Qiao Qixin gave up her plan to take a walk around the study.
After all, if she was discovered, even Li Zhirou probably wouldn't be able to protect herself.
When she returned to the small courtyard, it was quiet and no one was there.
No one is good, so there is no need to act.
After Qiao Qixin washed herself briefly, she climbed into bed and wrapped the quilt comfortably all over her body.
The quilt is still cold, and I won't be able to sleep for a while.
Qiao Qixin opened her eyes and looked at the moonlight shining in through the crack in the door.
Now that we have the map, the next thing should be much easier...
Zhang Li, Brother Zhang, please wait for me for a while, and I will be able to go back to you soon.
Qiao Qixin's eyes were intense, and she reviewed her performance in her mind to see if there were any flaws.
Well, not bad, my acting skills are getting better and better.
After the review was completed, Qiao Qixin praised herself with satisfaction, then turned over and fell asleep.
——
Early morning of the second day
"Qixin, are you there?" Early in the morning, Lai's mother's whirring voice woke up Qiao Qixin.
Qiao Qixin sat up from the bed sleepily. She was in a daze as a buffer to wake up.
"Ah! You're back! You didn't say a word, I thought you weren't here." Lai's mother opened the door and saw Qiao Qixin sitting on the bed with her head lowered and shouted.
"Well, I came back last night." Qiao Qixin responded with a yawn.
Lai's mother was rare in not gossiping. She put two steamed buns, a plate of pickles and a plate of red meat on the table in the room.
"Huh? It actually has flesh?" Qiao Qixin rubbed her eyes in surprise.
"Yes, Miss Li's maid came to the kitchen specifically to ask for my orders this morning." Lai's mother said, picking up a piece of meat with her fingers and stuffing it into her mouth, and said vaguely, "My meal was delivered. This is yours this morning."
You can cook the medicine yourself after breakfast."
After saying that, Lai's mother quickly turned around and left the small courtyard without looking back.
Qiao Qixin was a little confused, "...Why are you running in such a hurry? Am I scary?"
The steamed buns on the table were still steaming. Qiao Qixin rinsed her mouth, picked up the steamed buns, broke them in half, then took a bite with the pickles.
She was chewing steamed buns, her thoughts not yet completely withdrawn from sleep.
Now that I have the map, what should I do today? Pretend I'm lost and go to the study?
Hiss... no way, there are many people during the day, and there are guards in the study, so it is too difficult to avoid being discovered.
Qiao Qixin frowned and took a hesitant bite of the bun.
