"I'm going to check out the place you mentioned tomorrow!" Xie Xian didn't want to waste time talking to them. She had to confirm it herself.

As for her own origins, Xie Xian didn't want to expose them. If Gan Hu knew about it, she would have to fight to the death.

Everyone is helpless. Now, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, it will be a life-saving straw for them and they must hold on to it tightly.

Since Xie Xian said that she was coming for that group of bandits, maybe it was a personal grudge in the underworld! Everyone had different thoughts and promised to lead Xie Xian tomorrow.

After everyone left, Xin Sanniang asked, "Does your maid need any help?"

Xie Xian was stunned for a moment when she heard that, then she smiled and said, "Thank you very much, Sanniang!" She really wasn't very good at taking care of people. In the past few days when she was away, it was Xin Sanniang who brought food and drink to Tu Zhen.

"Is Madam Tu feeling better today?"

Xie Xian pushed the door open and saw Tu Zhen lying on a straw mat, covered with several layers of clothes. When she heard someone coming in, she opened her eyes and looked over.

Seeing that it was Xin Sanniang and Xie Xian, Tu Zhen smiled and said, "I feel like I'm fine!" Then she tried to struggle to get up.

Xie Xian quickly grabbed him and said, "Behave yourself. Now is not the time for you to recover."

After hearing Xie Xian's suggestive words, Tu Zhen lay back down obediently. God knows, she felt like she was about to mold.

Xin Sanniang shook her head with amusement. She didn't feel any difference in status between Xie Xian and Tu Zhen.

Although the two quarreled with each other on a daily basis, they also cared about each other and were like sisters. Xin Sanniang put the dirty clothes into the basin and glanced at Xie Xian.

Xie Xian faced Xin Sanniang's burning gaze and felt that her clothes, which she had not changed for five days, had an indescribable smell. She decided to wash her coat.

As he spoke, he took off his robe, revealing a green jacket with a black stone underneath and a white deer crowing towards the sky. Xin Sanniang had rarely seen such patterns, so she glanced at them a few more times and then paid no attention to them.

Xie Xian looked at it eagerly: "Sanniang, will this dress be ready tomorrow?" She only had this one, and she didn't want to go out wearing only one piece of clothing tomorrow.

"Don't worry, it will be washed out soon and dry tomorrow!" Xin Sanniang just found it funny. Madam Xian was good in every way except washing clothes. Thinking of the clothes that were beaten to pieces, she lowered her head, pursed her lips, picked up the wooden basin and went out.

On the second day, two seriously injured guards from Du Xin's side were sent away. Mu He was worried about leaving Du Xin alone.

Of course, the two of them still have news about Xie Xian that needs to be delivered, and after a few days of observation, they have realized that Qu Qing and Gan Hu are not the same kind of people.

After hearing today that Gan Hu and Mr. Qu had an unpleasant argument, Xie Xian knew that her chance had come.

It was still the same desk, and the same person, but Qu Qing seemed to have been exhausted and had no interest in anything.

He was sitting behind the desk. When he saw Xie Xian pushing the door in, he didn't scold her.

"Xian has a request of yours," Xie Xian walked to the table carrying a teapot.

"Speak!" Qu Qing felt restless and had a bad feeling. Gan Hu's attitude towards him was a little strange these past two days.

"Please help those refugees, sir. There have been some bad rumors in the mines these days."

"Oh! Madam Xian, since you are willing to stay, there must be a way. Why do you need to find me, a man who doesn't keep his word?" Qu Qing knew that he had misjudged Xie Xian since he found out that she would not follow Du Xin.

This woman said that she wanted to depend on Du Xin, but when Du Xin really wanted to leave, she did not beg Du Xin to take her with him. He dared to guarantee that this woman must have other purposes.

"But Ah Xian, you can only rely on Mr. Qu now!" Xie Xian was afraid of ruining her image, so she could only tell others that Du Xin disliked her going in and out of Mr. Qu's study so many times and refused to take her with him.

Then, this statement was accepted by everyone in less than half a day. After all, he was a young master from a noble family! Everyone has different preferences. Perhaps he thought it through in prison and realized that a woman like Madam Xian was not worth spending more money and food on.

This is what unfaithful people are like, so Xie Xian was happy to be abandoned. And for her own safety, it was natural for Xie Xian to find Qu Qing, and no one said anything.

Qu Qing rubbed his eyebrows. How could someone as smart as him not know what Xie Xian meant? This woman really thought she was made of clay.

He was already angry enough about being used by Gan Hu, but he never expected that a mere woman who was trying to get close to him would dare to plot against him like this.

At this moment he didn't want to hold it in any longer. He stared at Xie Xian with a serious look and said, "Madam Xian, there is always a price to pay for doing things. I'm not Du Xin." That naive person believed what you said.

Xie Xian was naturally prepared. Whenever she thought of the climate map she drew being in Qu Qing's hands these days, she felt that this person should know Chu Mo, and maybe even be a good friend of his.

Therefore, Xie Xian was somewhat confident that she had the opportunity to persuade Qu Qing to defect.

Just as Xie Xian was about to speak, someone knocked on Qu Qing's door. The person with a rough voice shouted before he even entered the room, "Mr. Qu, I heard that Mr. Du's woman is really with you. Give me your head and let me ask!"

Both of them were shocked. Xie Xian cursed inwardly, "It's so fast! I haven't even finished my words yet!" If Qu Qing doesn't agree, will he just kill her?

But Qu Qing was thinking that Gan Hu really didn't want to keep Xie Xian. If Xie Xian really followed Du Xin, she might be dealt with halfway. He was the only one who could save her. He was annoyed, but looking at Xie Xian's beautiful face, he didn't want such a beautiful woman to die.

Wait, where did the beauty get the dagger?

Seeing Xie Xian pulling out a dagger from her leg, with a look of murderous intent, Qu Qing was shocked, and then he looked at Xie Xian's eyebrows and eyes more closely, and found that they were still the same, but the aura was completely different.

The beauty stared at the door with a resolute and solemn expression, like a female leopard ready to pounce, her body tense and her clothes stuck to her.

Qu Qing, who was standing behind Xie Xian, could vaguely see the black stone and white deer jacket Xie Xian was wearing through the cloak that had not yet dried. This was...

But at this moment, he didn't have time to think about it, so he could only shout, "Come in!"

After saying that, he even put one of his clothes on Xie Xian.

Xie Xian: “?” But seeing Qu Qing’s expression, he stabbed the dagger into his sleeve.

"Hey!! Oh!! Okay then, I'll reply," the man looked at the two people standing in front of the table, with Xie Xian still wearing Mr. Qu's clothes, and he agreed with what had just been said.

"Hey, it turns out that no one can resist the temptation of beauty!" After saying that, he closed the door and went out.

At this moment, Xie Xian stood still, feeling the claws on her shoulder, and turned her head to stare at Qu Qing with a dead look.

Qu Qing didn't move at all, and before Xie Xian could do anything, the door was suddenly pushed open again.

It was still the same burly man as before, "Oh! Tell the boss about the meeting tomorrow morning, don't forget it, Mr. Qu!" After saying that, he glanced at Xie Xian and closed the door with a teasing smile.

Only then did Qu Qing let go of his hand. He took two steps back and bowed, saying, "It's an emergency, please don't blame me, Madam Xian!"

Xie Xian retracted her raised arm and wanted to give the other person an elbow, but the other person knelt too quickly, which made her seem very impolite.
