Gu Yiyi’s face darkened. If Xiao Qing had guessed it correctly, then it would only prove that this Mu family was really terrible.

Fortunately, she was not married to the Mu family. Otherwise, she might not know what would happen to her after her father died.

Feng Ruqing turned to look in the other direction that was exactly facing the Mu family.

Her eyes were very cold.

“Mother…”

Xiao Qinghan pulled her hand and looked in the direction of the hill behind the chief manor.

Feng Ruqing did not speak. She just took Xiao Qinghan and walked into the night after she had said goodbye to Gu Yiyi.

Luo Li had left with the Luo family. Qin Chen had gone back just now. Now, only she and Qing Han were left.

Somehow at this moment, she missed the state preceptor so much.

She could only think of him in her mind and in her heart.

“Mother, I have found the thing that summoned me. It is right on the back hill of the chief manor.”

“If we know where it is, it will be easier.” Feng Ruqing smiled. “We will come to the chief manor again sooner or later. At that time, I will find a way to go to the back hill.”

“Alright, Mother.” Qing Han smiled brightly.

These two people gradually disappeared in the quiet night under the cold moonlight.

***

As soon as Gu Yiyi returned to the chief manor, she saw that Gu Shi was sitting and waiting for her.

There were a lot of gifts from the other families in the hall.

However, Gu Yiyi did not even so much as glance at those gifts. She just held, tightly, onto the paper that Feng Ruqing had given to her. She stared at Gu Shi carefully because she feared that he would snatch the paper from her.

“Ahem.” Gu Shi cleared his throat. “Did you send away Maiden Xiao Qing? You don’t have to be so nervous. Isn’t it just a piece of paper? I will not snatch it from you. Listen to me. Put the paper down first. We haven’t talked for a long time. Did you see any man that you like at the dinner feast today?”

Gu Yiyi stared blankly at him and shook her head. “I am not sure. I was not paying attention.”

Gu Shi’s mouth twitched twice.

This girl was only paying attention to Feng Ruqing.

He had organized the dinner feast for nothing.

“Actually, I think Young Master Zhang is quite good. Although the Zhang family is not very strong, Young Master Zhang’s temperament is good. He also has a good personality. Oh, Young Master Zhao is also quite good. Yiyi, please put down that thing in your hand first. I really will not snatch it from you.”

Gu Yiyi looked at Gu Shi suspiciously. “Really?”

“Really.”

He was the manor master of Tian Shen Manor. How could he just snatch away his daughter’s things?

Besides, that was just a piece of paper. He did not need to do that.

“Oh, okay then.” Gu Yiyi was relieved.

She had taken a lot of her father’s treasures. Therefore, she thought her father would want to take something from her this time.

Gu Shi saw Gu Yiyi’s relaxed face. He frowned.

This little devil really thought of him as someone who would snatch other people’s things.

Gu Yiyi was relieved. She loosened her grip on the paper in her hand. She carefully placed it on the table far from Gu Shi.

She slowly walked toward Gu Shi.

Seeing Gu Yiyi acting weird like this, Gu Shi really wanted to know what Feng Ruqing had written to her.

Thus, he quickly stepped forward and grabbed the paper that was on the table while Gu Yiyi was not paying attention.
