Tomb Robber: Oops, I think I met a tomb robber.

"I'm sorry, Xiaoguan. Have you been sleeping uncomfortably with this pillow these past two days? It's all my fault that I didn't notice it. Otherwise, I would have changed it for you earlier."

Qiuyue said this distressedly as she took the ceramic pillow away. Xiaoguan was a little stunned when he held the cotton pillow that Qiuyue stuffed in, but he quickly reacted and said softly, "No, sister is fine. It's not your fault. I've slept on this kind of hard pillow before, so I didn't feel uncomfortable."

Qiuyue was stunned when she heard this. Xiaoguan was born in the late Qing Dynasty, and it seemed that this kind of hard pillow did exist at that time. However, even though Xiaoguan said that he did not feel uncomfortable, Qiuyue still wanted to change it for him. Although it was said that this kind of hard pillow was good for the cervical spine, she really did not think that this kind of pillow would be comfortable to use. It felt extremely cold and prickly to the touch. How could it be comfortable to use!

"From now on, just use the pillow I gave you. This soft one is very comfortable. Don't use the hard one. Not to mention how hard it is, if you use it in winter, you'll freeze to death."

Qiuyue casually placed the ceramic pillow on the table and walked back, talking as she walked. Xiaoguan pinched the pillow in his arms, which was indeed very soft, and hummed softly, with the corners of his mouth curved up.

"Okay, I'll listen to my sister."

After Qiuyue got on the bed, she reached out and hugged him, and kissed his little face again and again happily. She didn't know if it was her illusion, but she always felt that Xiaoguan looked a little fatter now than two days ago, and his face felt softer when she kissed him.

When Qiuyue hugged Xiaoguan, the curve of his mouth became a little bigger. He smelled the rich fragrance on Qiuyue's body and let her kiss his face. He felt that there was no better time than now.

"Go to sleep, go to sleep, Cotton Pudding also lie down and sleep~"

Qiuyue said this after she had kissed him enough, then she let go of his hand. Xiaoguan responded obediently and lay down. Cotton Pudding also meowed twice. The two little ones had already chosen where they would sleep at night, which was on the cotton-core pillow. They also liked this soft cotton pillow very much.

After seeing the man and the two cats lying down obediently, Qiuyue pulled the quilt over Xiaoguan and covered him with it before lying down, saying softly, "Good night, Xiaoguan, and good night, Little Cotton and Little Pudding too."

"Meow!" Good night, sister!

"Meow~" Good night, sister~

Cotton Pudding was the first to respond to Qiuyue. Xiaoguan stared at the person in front of him without blinking, and the corners of his mouth never curved down. He hummed softly, and then finally closed his eyes slowly.

"Good night, sister."

While the two cats, one big and one small, were sleeping soundly, Zhang Shouxu, who had been standing in the hall since Qiuyue followed the official away, had a very gloomy expression on his face. He looked gloomily in the direction of the official's bedroom, and his hands hanging at his sides were clenched and trembling slightly, as if he was trying hard to suppress his jealousy.

Don't blame him for doing that, he was the one who forced him to do that! Why should he be able to get what he dreams of just by crying? Why?!

Zhang Shouxu swallowed the bloody taste in his throat, raised his hand and waved it violently. The candles in the hall were instantly extinguished, and the entire hall was plunged into darkness. After doing all this, Zhang Shouxu disappeared from the spot and ran straight towards the main hall without looking back.

No! Don't! Blame! Him!

After a dreamless night, Qiuyue was still a little confused when she woke up. She thought she would dream about Zhang Qiling again after falling asleep last night, but when she opened her eyes, she found that she had not dreamed the whole night, which made her a little uncomfortable.

Could it be that because I slept with Xiaoguan last night, he didn’t appear in my dreams?

Qiuyue was confused for a moment, then her face suddenly felt hot. She stood up quickly and tidied herself up shyly.

Why would she even think about that? Wouldn't it be better if she didn't dream about it?! She wasn't disappointed!

Feeling a little guilty, Qiuyue changed her nightgown into a casual dress and patted her hot face before walking out of the side hall. When she saw that Zhang Shouxu was the only one in the hall, she was not surprised, but his next words made Qiuyue stunned.

"Ah Ling, the last Qi Ling has already gone to the Zhang family's forbidden area with the clan leader. They will probably take at least seven days to return."

"what?"

Qiuyue subconsciously let out a cry of "Ah!", her beautiful eyes widening as she looked at him in confusion. "Zhang Family Forbidden Land? What are you going there for? Why would you be gone for seven days? Why didn't you tell me? Are you in such a hurry to go?"

Zhang Shouxu lowered his eyes and brought out the delicious food from the lunch box while speaking in a low voice, "Ah Ling, you said before that many of the inheritances of the last Zhang family were broken. The last clan leader of Qi Ling died unexpectedly outside, which led to many secrets known only to the clan leader being buried. After careful consideration over the past two days, the clan leader decided to take the last Qi Ling to receive these things known only to the clan leader. As for the civil and military lessons, they can be postponed for now. It was our fault for not consulting Ah Ling first and acting without consulting her. If Ah Ling is angry, you can punish me, and I am willing to accept the punishment. The clan leader was only eager to save the last Zhang family and did not intentionally bypass you..."

Zhang Shouxu added a touch of respect as he spoke, and Qiuyue was a little stunned. After a long while, she said, "Ah, no, I'm not angry, I'm just a little surprised. Your clan leader is right. You should let me know this. He will need it in the future. As for the act of execution first and reporting later, after all, you are doing this for the last generation of the Zhang family, not to harm me. I won't be angry about this. But next time, you should tell me in advance, otherwise it will be too sudden."

Zhang Shouxu lowered his head slightly, suppressed the curve of his lips, and said softly, "Yes, A-Ling, I understand. Next time, I will definitely tell you first."

After hearing his agreement, Qiuyue nodded and sat down to prepare for breakfast, but at the same time she couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

I haven't seen my humble official for seven days, and it feels a bit torturous.

"Hey, if Xiaoguan didn't go to class, why aren't the cotton puddings here either?"

Qiuyue just picked up the chopsticks when she suddenly remembered the two little ones. Since Xiaoguan had already gone to the forbidden area, what about the two of them? Did they follow him to the forbidden area?

Zhang Shouxu brought out the last dish and sat down. Hearing Qiuyue's confusion, he replied, "They're already at the school. I sent them there earlier on behalf of the last Qi Ling. Didn't Ah Ling want them to go to school? When the last Qi Ling is not around, I'll help send them there."

Qiuyue blinked, then nodded again in sudden realization.

"Well, that's good. It's not a bad thing for children to learn more."

Although the original idea was to let Cotton Pudding help look after Xiaoguan, now that Xiaoguan has gone to the forbidden area, they actually no longer need to go to school. However, since Zhang Shouxu has already sent them there, let them go and learn more. After all, it is not a bad thing to learn more new knowledge.

Zhang Shouxu raised the corners of his lips slightly and responded softly, "Yeah, I'll listen to A Ling."

After knowing where the cotton pudding went, Qiuyue finally picked up her chopsticks and started to eat breakfast. Zhang Shouxu, who was sitting next to her, looked at her beautiful profile with great joy, and also reached out to pick up his chopsticks.

Late last night——

"Did Lord Linzu really say that?"

The Zhang family head, who had originally planned to go to bed, looked at Zhang Shouxu in surprise and asked. Zhang Shouxu nodded slightly, his face expressionless, "Yes, Lord Linzu said this matter is more important. He asked you to bring the last generation of Qiling to receive everything that the Zhang family head knows tomorrow."

"Is Lord Lin Zu so anxious? If so, I will take the child directly to the forbidden area tomorrow and will not bother Lord Lin Zu. Remember to say good morning to Lord Lin Zu for me."

The Zhang family head made a decision, then looked at Zhang Shouxu and said, "I had thought of calling you back in a few days, but now that you're here, tell me about Lord Linzu's recent situation. Is Lord Linzu living happily with us? Has he been out and about? Have our children in the Zhang family displeased Lord Linzu? Besides the notebook I mentioned the other day, is there anything else Lord Linzu would like?"

Zhang Shouxu lowered his eyes and responded one by one, "Lady Linzu is gentle and easygoing. I've never seen her displeased or angry. She's always cheerful and cheerful. Aside from visiting the children's school and the martial arts area, she spends all her time in the palace. The children are also obedient and haven't done anything to anger Lady Linzu. As for things, Lady Linzu hasn't asked for anything. She's been making chess and card games these past two days to pass the time."

The Zhang family head was slightly startled, then nodded and said, "Indeed, how could Lord Linzu possibly look down on us mortals' things? Well, that's it. You go back and serve Lord Linzu well. Come to me if Lord Linzu needs anything."

Hearing the following words, Zhang Shouxu couldn't help but curl up the corners of his lips, but he quickly suppressed it, responded in a low voice, and quietly left the main hall.

If Zhang Shouxu from two days ago were called here, he would probably be surprised by what he had just reported.

Everything Zhang Shouxu said just now was true, but he obviously missed something. He didn't mention the pile of talismans with extremely magical and powerful functions that Qiuyue drew!

After standing outside the main hall and looking back, Zhang Shouxu walked silently towards his own palace. He seemed completely invisible in the darkness.

The reason why he didn't report it was very simple. His heart belonged to her now, which meant he was completely partial to her. As long as she didn't take the initiative to speak up, he wouldn't tell anyone, even though it might not be necessary for her at all.
