Cheng Xiaoxiao didn’t go for the chicken since she had plenty of other food to eat. Also, she had promised Wan Xia she would be quick, so she couldn’t make Wan Xia wait.
Thanks to Xiao Yue’s minor interruption, Cheng Xiaoxiao finally noticed something amiss with her jade pendant.
Since Cheng Xiaoxiao’s movement was large, the jade pendant hidden under her fur inadvertently showed up.
The jade pendant vibrated slightly as it hung from Cheng Xiaoxiao’s neck. Since the vibration was minor and Cheng Xiaoxiao was focused on food, she only noticed it now.
Was there a ghost?
Also, was it right here?
Cheng Xiaoxiao was eating the osmanthus cake, but she promptly slowed down. She kept her eye on Xiao Yue as she chanted to activate her third eye.
“Hear my order, jade pendant, and open my eyes!”
Cheng Xiaoxiao lowered her head and pretended to pick food as she narrowed her eyes and look
Xiao Qin kept saying Wan Xia was pretty and Xiao Qin didn’t want to come back before she died. Now it seemed that those weren’t the words of a crazy woman. Also, Cheng Xiaoxiao recalled Xiao Qin looking at the plaque at the pavilion…Cheng Xiaoxiao recalled the words “Twilight Chases the Wild Duck” written on the plaque. Was Xiao Qin trying to hint Wan Xia had something to do with this since Wan Xia’s name meant twilight?Cheng Xiaoxiao would have assumed it was a mistake based on Xiao Qin’s words alone. Time and time again, all signs were telling her that her dear friend Wan Xia wasn't as simple as she seemed.However, Wan Xia had never harmed Cheng Xiaoxiao or Xiao Qin, so perhaps there was more factors involved. Even at this stage, Cheng Xiaoxiao wanted to defend Wan Xia.Cheng Xiaoxiao was not stupid. She was simply siding Wan Xia because she was her friend.Cheng Xiaoxiao wanted to ask
Cheng Xiaoxiao wanted to turn and leave when she detected something amiss with the room. There seemed to be someone in the room…Cheng Xiaoxiao could faintly hear someone moaning. It was so faint that it resembled a kitten’s meowing.She pricked her ears and listened carefully. Other than the thunderous palpitation of her heart, she could clearly hear the sound of a man gasping deeply in the room. Cheng Xiaoxiao naturally recognized this sound. She had watched plenty of movies. Also, she knew the voice well since they were together all the time. Cheng Xiaoxiao didn’t have the same kind of courage as she did when she interrogated Xiao Qin earlier. Now, she didn’t dare to move at all. This was simply strange. She was terrified of going into the room and didn't dare to confirm the thoughts running through her head.She ought to run in and interrogate the people inside the room, but she did
In a split second, Chu Yunshen recalled a pair of cunning contrasting eyes and hurriedly lowered his head to look at the woman in his arms.The contrasting cat eyes emerged in his mind and overlapped with the pair of bright beautiful eyes he had been thinking of. The only problem was, this woman in front of him didn't resemble the woman he was thinking about.In that case, who was she?Chu Yunshen felt as though his mind was about to explode as he kept his eyes on the woman wrapped in the blanket. It felt as though he was about to stare a hole right through the woman.The moment Cheng Xiaoxiao saw Chu Yunshen looking at Wan Xia lovingly, she could not bear staying here.Just when she was about to leave, Chu Yunshen finally reacted.Chu Yunshen lifted his foot and kicked Wan Xia off the bed altogether before covering himself with a blanket with only his head showing.Cheng Xiaoxiao was stunned
Cheng Xiaoxiao was spot on. Xiaowu didn't even bother to ask Xiao Yue how she knew about this since it was completely redundant.“Miss Wan Xia, my apologies, but I really need to ask. The lion cat should have been inside His Highness’ room. Why did you take her out? Also, why did you leave the cat outside to play on her own after taking her out?”“The lion cat wasn't alone. I was with her all the time.”Wan Xia kept crying, so Xiao Yue hurriedly made an excuse on her behalf. However, no one caught the vicious look in Wan Xia’s eyes as she lowered her head and used her handkerchief to wipe the tears from her face.When Wan Xia raised her head, she reverted to her pitiful act again. It was impossible for anyone to turn a blind eye when they saw Wan Xia crying. “I simply lost consciousness, but I didn’t lose my memory.”Chu Yunshen finally glanced at Wan Xia, but he was looking at her like she was a rat and
Cheng Xiaoxiao didn't know how to wrap her mind around this. Also, she did not know how to feel about this.For instance, Cheng Xiaoxiao didn't know whether she should be happy or sad now.Although Cheng Xiaoxiao ought to feel glad that Wan Xia was innocent, they were unable to make headway of what happened between Chu Yunshen and Wan Xia. Cheng Xiaoxiao didn't know how to face them and how they would face each other from now on.Cheng Xiaoxiao contemplated as she sat beside the baby bird's cage. Mu Bai and Chu Yunshen continued discussing the matter.“Although there is no poison, I have never encountered such a fragrance before. Why don’t we ask her more?”Since Mu Bai already knew this fragrance was poison-free why did he suggest interrogating Wan Xia? Why was he so interested in a woman's fragrance?After Mu Bai had interrupted Cheng Xiaoxiao’s thoughts she looked at him quizzically. She did not underst
That was right.Cheng Xiaoxiao initially felt Xiao Qin had committed suicide by jumping into the lake, but Wan Xia’s actions were making Cheng Xiaoxiao reconsider the incident.She felt even more certain that someone had made Xiao Qin end up killing herself.After all, Cheng Xiaoxiao knew full well there was more to Xiao Qin’s death. She had seen Xiao Qin’s spirit in Wan Xia’s quarters just 30 minutes ago. Even if Xiao Qin was able to leave the compound, she was in no condition to possess anyone considering her state, let alone move around freely.Moreover, Xiao Qin’s spirit was not whole, so she was delirious.This was simply outrageous! How could they do this to Xiao Qin?Cheng Xiaoxiao trembled just thinking about this.She kept reminding herself not to cry and not to embarrass herself in front of them.For some reason, this didn’t work and even ended up backfirin
Wan Xia sobbed softly as she spoke and turned her head sideways to wipe her tears with her handkerchief.She was beautiful when she cried.Sadly, Cheng Xiaoxiao wasn't going to buy it this time and was completely unmoved.Instead, she was surprised Chu Yunshen would allow them to stay. After she had hinted to Chu Yunshen there was something wrong with Wan Xia, she thought he would simply make an excuse to keep her stay.Never mind. She couldn't be bothered with him now. As long as Wan Xia was not permitted to enter the compound, she had gotten what she wanted. Chu Yunshen didn't respond to Wan Xia. Instead, he went over to the lion cat and squatted down to speak gently, “She isn't going into the compound anymore. What do you want to do now?”From the sound of it, Chu Yunshen was trying to make the lion cat happy.Sadly, Cheng Xiaoxiao didn't fall for it. Cheng Xia
Just as Wan Xia had mentioned, it was a mess inside the compound and there were remnants of food everywhere. Also, the lion cat’s garments and Wan Xia’s clothes were strewn on the table as well.Chu Yunshen promptly frowned as he was finding a clean spot to walk. The lion cat was already standing in the living room and hurrying him along.“Meow!”Did he have to be so slow? Why couldn't he hurry up?Cheng Xiaoxiao looked at Chu Yunshen impatiently and felt very annoyed by his OCD for cleanliness.At a time like this, how could Chu Yunshen be bothered by the mess? He clearly didn't have a problem when he took the jade box when it was covered by her saliva.Chu Yunshen looked at the lion cat who was growing increasingly annoyed. He lowered his head and looked at the ground where there wasn't a single clean spot for him to walk. Then he gritted his teeth and walked in. Wan Xia was briefly stunned
