Xie Lingmu raised his hand to support his forehead. Chen An thought he was feeling unwell and quickly stepped forward.
But Xie Lingmu started talking to himself.
"She seemed to have said a lot to me last night, but why didn't I hear her clearly? I remembered something. She complimented me on my good looks and said she liked my face."
Chen An found that the young master seemed to be in a nightmare, his expression was dull and he kept tapping his forehead in pain.
"She said she likes my face. Does that mean she likes me?"
Chen An: "This...maybe."
He didn't dare to make any presumptions.
Xie Lingmu glanced at the empty street, lowered his hands and turned around to enter the house.
After returning to his courtyard, Xie Lingmu locked himself up.
The head of the Xie family heard that the Imperial Master had come to his house and was received by his own son. He also heard that the Grand Master's niece was in trouble at his house.
Chen An: "Sir, the master of the family is here."
"Tell dad that I'm not feeling well." The man's hoarse voice came from the room, which meant he was gone.
Chen An had no choice but to reply to the owner of the family.
The head of the Xie family was a little worried after hearing this: "Ling Mu has always been in good health. Go and ask the doctor to take a look at him first."
"The doctor has come over to see me. The young master has been in the study last night dealing with things in the shop and is a little tired." Chen An lied without blinking.
"Hey, Ling Mu has reassured me since he was little. If he keeps busy all the time, please give him some advice."
"yes."
The head of the family left, and Chen An breathed a sigh of relief.
As soon as Miss Nan left, the young master felt as if he had lost his soul. Normally, the young master just bullied Miss Nan, but now she was the niece of the imperial master, the county master.
There is no longer a maid in this courtyard, so Chen An serves as both a guard and a maid.
Xie Lingmu didn't come out during dinner, so Chen An had to guard at the door.
Chen An went to the dungeon in the middle of the night...
"Sir, Li'er in the dungeon is dead."
Li'er was a spy sent to the Young Master. After she was discovered, she was kept in a dungeon and tortured in every possible way. However, she never confessed who ordered her to come here, so she remained locked up like this.
Guan is a bit mentally disturbed. She always likes to cry in the middle of the night. Last time she even scared Miss Nan Qin.
Xie Lingmu opened the door and asked calmly: "Dead?"
"Yes, I'm out of breath."
"Chop her tongue into pieces and feed it to the dogs."
Chen An's heart skipped a beat, who did Li'er's tongue offend?
"It's better to die, so that my courtyard won't be quiet."
But even if she wasn't dead, even if she cried, she wouldn't be able to scare anyone, and there would be no one to scare.
"Chen'an, go and light some soothing incense for me."
Obviously he only had a sip of wine last night, and now he still has a headache tonight. Xie Lingmu is not sleepy at all.
Chen An lit a strong soothing incense, and the whole room was filled with the smell of soothing incense, but Xie Lingmu became more and more awake as he smelled it.
Did she really just leave like that?
He had bullied her before, and she was willing to leave just like that? Didn't she plan to wear fancy clothes and kick open the door of Xie's house to retaliate against him tomorrow?
"She will definitely come tomorrow!"
How could a little wild cat with a mouth full of sharp teeth just tuck its tail between its legs and leave without even looking at him?
Thinking of this, Xie Lingmu gradually began to feel sleepy, and he slowly fell asleep.
The next day, when it was still hazy outside, Xie Lingmu opened his eyes and got up.
At this moment, not even the servants who cleaned the yard in the morning came.
Chen'an, a martial arts practitioner, got up early. He planned to go to the bamboo forest to practice boxing, but he actually saw the young master's door opened and the young master standing in the courtyard!
"Sir, why did you get up so early?"
It's not bright yet.
Xie Lingmu glanced at him indifferently and did not reply. He sat in the pavilion in the courtyard and did nothing else, as if waiting for someone.
