After traveling through time, the four best friends were all targeted by the boss

After interrogating Quan Zhi, Xiahou Yu had someone cut off Quan Zhi's tongue and brought it to his aunt, Xiahou Jing, in Yong'an City.

Yong'an City, Xiahou Mansion——

A woman in royal blue expensive clothes was sitting on the couch, taking a sip of tea from time to time. She had a pretty face, upturned eyes and smooth skin. Although she was nearly forty years old, there were not many wrinkles on her face, and she looked very noble.

At her feet and in front, two maids were massaging her.

A nanny in gray came in and said softly, "Madam, Miss Qin is here."

"Let her in." Xiahou Jing said.

"Yes."

After a while, a girl in a blue dress walked in. She walked slowly, with her hands folded neatly in front of her, her head slightly lowered, her facial features soft, her figure slender, and her temperament as graceful as an orchid. She was a true Jiangnan beauty.

"Hello, aunt." The woman spoke slowly, her voice soft.

Xiahou Jing quickly sat up and stretched out her hand. The woman saw it and stepped forward to hold her hand.

"Hanlin, is it okay to live here?" Xiahou Jing looked at her with sharp eyes and asked.

Qin Hanlin nodded and said softly, "Thank you for your concern, Auntie. Hanlin is fine."

Xiahou Jing patted her hands and pulled her to sit next to her: "Good girl, I'll take you to see our Yu'er in a few days. You saw her when you were a child, do you remember her?"

Qin Hanlin searched her mind for a while. Xiahou Yu was three years older than her. She was so young at that time, how could she remember him? Not to mention that they had never met again.

But she still answered obediently: "I remember, but I'm afraid that Brother Yu doesn't remember Han Lin."

Xiahou Jing smiled and said, "Don't worry, you will meet again in the future, and you can cultivate your relationship then."

Qin Hanlin's cheeks turned slightly red. She couldn't refute what Xiahou Jing said, so she could only lower her head shyly.

There were hurried footsteps outside, and an older man walked in directly. He was about to speak, but when he saw Qin Hanlin sitting there, he turned his eyes to signal Xiahou Jing.

Xiahou Jing frowned, but was still gentle to Qin Hanlin: "Hanlin, please sit down first."

"Okay." Qin Hanlin nodded.

Xiahou Jing followed the man into the corridor, her tone becoming stern: "What happened?"

The man wiped his sweat and said, "Madam, something terrible has happened."

Xiahou Jing stood sideways to him, eyes gleaming fiercely: "Why are you panicking? Talk properly."

“Yes, yes.” The man nodded and stuttered, “Just now, Master Xiahou Yu’s men brought something over… yes… yes…”

"What is it? Tell me quickly!" Xiahou Jing clenched his fists.

"It's Quanzhi's tongue!" the man shouted.

"What!?" Xiahou Jing's legs went weak and she fell onto the platform in the corridor.

"Madam, please take care of yourself!" The man stepped forward and supported her.

"Xiahou Yu! How dare you! Quan Zhi is my confidant, yet he dares to kill him!" Xiahou Jing gritted her teeth, and her fingernails made several crescent-shaped marks on her palm.

"If his tongue is just cut off, Lord Quan won't necessarily die..." the man said hesitantly.

Xiahou Jing glared at him and said, "Xiahou Yu dared to cut his tongue. He must have asked something. He knew the rumors about the engagement so quickly and caught Quan Zhi."

She paused, "He must have known that it was my idea behind this."

"You are his aunt. How dare he do anything to you?" the man said.

Xiahou Jing stood up and cursed, "Can you use your pig brain? He acted so quickly this time and even dared to cut off Quan Zhi's tongue for me. This proves that he is really angry."

"Madam is smart. Are you afraid of that young man?" the man flattered her with gritted teeth.

"Of course I'm not afraid of him. What I'm worried about is that if it's true as the rumors say, he's on good terms with those three people, then that would be difficult!" Xiahou Jing said gritting her teeth.

With a bang, something fell in front of her.

Xiahou Jing looked carefully and found that the thing was Quanzhi's bright red tongue!

"Ah!" Xiahou Jing screamed and fell to the ground.

"Madam!" The man hurried to help her. Xiahou Jing looked up, but there was no one there!

She stood up with the help of the man, her eyes red.

"Throw this thing away!" she yelled.

"Yes, ma'am!" the man said hurriedly.

Xiahou Jing's eyes flashed with ferocity, and she stood up with gritted teeth: Xiahou Yu, just wait for me!

Ever since Sun and He were beheaded, Ziyang City has become active again. There are still two or three days before the Flower God Festival. Every household in Ziyang City is preparing various lanterns, which will be released into the Hong River on the fifteenth day to let the young souls rest in peace.

The four of them joined forces to replace a group of inactive officials in Ziyang City, and the people of Ziyang City raised their arms in approval.

The eight people had a rare period of relatively comfortable life. Pei Xuanxi still lived in Xiahou Mansion because he wanted to teach Xu Zheng light skills and hidden weapons. The two of them got up early every day to practice.

Yiqing returned to his home after quarreling with Tao Tao. He did not look for Tao Tao directly, but brought her food at night. If Tao Tao found out, he would turn around and run away, making Tao Tao laugh and cry.

But every time Tao Tao went to Yi'an's house, she could feel Yiqing following her. Gradually, Tao Tao was not so angry anymore, but more of a confusion.

I don't understand why he fought with Yi An for no reason and didn't even apologize to him.

Yi Qing also didn't understand why Tao Tao was angry with him because of Yi An. Was Yi An more important to her than herself?

In fact, he didn't go to Tao Tao in person because he didn't know how to apologize, and he was afraid that they would quarrel again. His hesitation made Ah Shuo sigh repeatedly.

Where has the resolute and efficient young master of the past gone?

After Xiahou Yu dealt with Quan Zhi, he publicly announced to the public that he had not yet gotten engaged, and that he would not recognize anyone who came to his aunt to propose marriage.

His actions made Xiahou Jing so angry that she started cursing. Wasn't it obvious that he didn't recognize her as his aunt?

When he was free, Xiahou Yu would go to see Xia Nian whenever he had nothing to do, and would buy her some beautiful jewelry and clothes from time to time. If Xia Nian refused to accept them, he would start to use threats and inducements, and Xia Nian had no choice but to accept his things.

The happiest person would have to be Meng Yin. Ever since she and Gu Ling watched the stars together last time, their relationship had improved a lot. Gu Ling even went to a nearby town during the trip and brought her a lot of things.

Two days before the Flower Goddess Festival, Yiqing practiced sword skills with A Shuo in the yard for several hours.

Ah Shuo couldn't bear it anymore. He gasped and used his sword to support his body.

"I can't take it anymore, young master. Let me rest for a while." Ah Shuo waved his hands and said he couldn't stand it anymore.

Yi Qing put away his sword and snorted coldly: "Is this not enough?"

Ah Shuo was speechless. It had been several hours already! Not everyone had his talent!

Ah Shuo muttered quietly: "It's just that Miss Tao ignored you, why are you taking it out on me?"

"What did you say!?" Yiqing glared at him, which scared A Shuo.

Ah Shuo quickly pointed to the peach tree next to him and said, "I said this peach tree is growing really well, haha..."

Yiqing looked at the peach tree. The peach blossoms had all fallen and new green leaves were growing on it. It was a cloudy day and there was still a lot of wind, so rustling sounds could be heard from the tree from time to time.

Yiqing thought of Tao Tao and couldn't help but lower his head.

Ah Shuo stepped forward and suggested, "Young Master, why don't you go and apologize to Miss Tao? She is kind-hearted and will definitely forgive you."

Yiqing glared at him and said, "I didn't do anything wrong, why should I apologize?"

Ah Shuo pursed his lips speechlessly: Well, the young master is doomed.

He was about to sit back and take a rest when he heard Yiqing suddenly ask, "How should I apologize?"

"Huh?" Ah Shuo was stunned for a moment, then smiled happily and walked to Yi Qing to teach him how to make a girl happy.

Finally, he doesn't have to practice sword for several hours!
