Luo Qianqian smacked her lips when Murong Yun fed her some soup to help her sober up soon, seeing that, Murong Yun smiled.
After that, Murong Yun tried so hard to lull Luo Qianqian to sleep.
Murong Yun cast a glimpse at the cat who was dozing off on the ground, a touch of killing intent flashed across his eyes.
‘It must be the cat, Luo Qianqian is intoxicated because of the cat!’
‘I can smell it in the air, it’s a strong liquor called Winter Sweet, a cup of Winter Sweet can take down a man with a hallow leg! No wonder Qianqian kept babbling, no way she could hold a liquor like Winter Sweet!’
“Throw the cat out!” Murong Yun withdrew his glimpse and put three fingers on Luo Qianqian’s left wrist, infusing Internal Chi to her.
Hearing what Murong Yun just said, Feng Qing and Su Liancheng stood gazing at one another, they at a loss what to do, ‘are we really going to throw a poor innocent cat out of the window?’
Feng Qing shrugged and picked up the cat from the ground, he was about to open the window and throw the cat out when Murong Yun took a deep breath and said, “Feng Qing, just put her at the door gently.”
“Master, you said just put her at the door?” Feng Qing halted and asked in disbelief.
‘Gee, no wonder Her Highness is intoxicated, even I feel like I’m drunk just holding this cat.’
Murong Yun nodded resignedly and stared at Luo Qianqian who was lying in bed, “Yes.”
That was a classic ‘the love for the house extends even to the crows perching on its roof — loving Hui on account of Luo Qianqian’ example.
In short, ‘Love me, love the cat that I love.’
Feng Qing nodded knowingly.
Luo Qianqian suddenly giggled in her sleep and then she muttered, “My beauty Murong Yun, come to me, mama likey! I love you, I love you…”
Luo Qianqian’s skin was all cream and rose due to the Winter Sweet, adding more splendor to her charm.
Murong Yun stiffened on hearing ‘mama likey’.
‘Mama?’
‘Likey?’
‘I love you!’
All the anger that had been accumulating in Murong Yun’s heart had disappeared… …
Murong Yun tucked Luo Qianqian in and walked to get some tea.
“Prince Eighth, isn’t this cat that Miss. Gu’s?”
“Yes, Miss. Gu Lina’s.” Feng Qing chimed in.
Su Liancheng nodded, “Yeah, we just saw the cat the other day, what is she doing here again? Hmm, could it be… Gu Lina somehow had sent the cat here again?”
“After she soaked the cat in a wine cellar?” Feng Qing questioned.
Su Liancheng and Murong Yun exchanged a look, they both knew this probably was what had just happened.
“Ahem, so someone has intoxicated the cat first and released the cat to come near Her Highness? To intoxicate Her Highness and then what?” Su Liancheng muttered.
No matter what that ‘someone’ was up to, Su Liancheng was sure his Eighth Brother would make sure that ‘someone’ repay it good.
“How is my sister doing?” Guang Yao’s voice rang at the door.
He wanted to come near to check on Luo Qianqian but he didn’t want to wake her up by walking in the room and making a scene.
“Who did this to my sister? Is she getting better now?” Guang Yao asked anxiously, he was genuinely worried for Luo Qianqian who had saved his life on the street and showed him care and love.
Murong Yun didn’t reply, he didn’t like this young man who was standing outside the door, he wanted himself to be all Luo Qianqian could see in her eyes.
Plus, he had heard how Murong Yun teased Guang Yao before he showed up in the room, he didn’t like this pretty boy who tended to have the potential distract Murong Yun’s attention.
However, Murong Yun knew how much Luo Qianqian cherished this younger brother, so he had to put aside all the prejudice he had in mind.
Su Liancheng was well aware of that as well, and he’d like to fawn upon on his future sister-in-law by showing support to this young man who meant a lot to Luo Qianqian.
Su Liancheng pulled Guang Yao aside and told him what happened.
Guang Yao clenched his fists the whole time, he looked fumed when he heard this might be a conspiracy.
Su Liancheng had no idea why Guang Yao hated the Gu Clan so much, he couldn’t help but recall what Lin Zimo had said, Guang Yao had profound Internal Chi in his body which was inhibited by some medicine, Lin Zimo knew the cure, but he dared not to treat Guang Yao when no one knew who Guang Yao truly was and where he came from.
But Su Liancheng believed this boy was on their side, the way he cared for Luo Qianqian was so sincere.
Guang Yao left after he heard Su Liancheng’s theory.
Murong Yun asked Feng Qing to take care of Luo Qianqian while he and Su Liancheng were away.
Feng Qing missed the days when he and Murong Yun fought on the battlefield, those days were so much more simple.
Murong Yun and Su Liancheng ran into the First Elder on their way, Su Liancheng frowned on seeing him because he remembered that Gu Lina was this First Elder’s daughter.
“Deputy Master, I’m glad I’ve ran into you, I’m on my way to see you in your place.” the First Elder looked excited, “I heard you’ve got more information now.”
“Let’s discuss this in the hall.”
The Second Elder was the last one who showed up, he grabbed two wooden boxes in hand tightly like they were treasures that he was willing to guard them with his life.
“Deputy… Deputy Master! Can I discuss something with you in private?” the Second Master stammered.
“We don’t need to, a deal is a deal.” Murong Yun replied with indifference.
Su Liancheng walked closer to the Second Elder and tapped on his shoulder, “I think you better keep you word, you know, like a man. Your Deputy Master has found more information about the attack like he has promised, and I think you need to keep you promise too.”
Hearing that, the Second Master put the two wooden boxes on the table reluctantly.
“Ha, let me protect them for you now, Eighth Brother.” Su Liancheng took them into his sleeve.
The First Elder said to Murong Yun carefully, “Deputy Master, we are all here now and we’d like to hear what you have found out please.”
