The Killer's Cleansing Manual

Qi Zhaomian watched her walk out of the garden before looking away, thinking about her expression just now.

Probably a look of disgust or disdain.

There was no doubt that she was looking at Ye Lang, but why did she show such an expression to Ye Lang when they met for the first time?

Logically speaking, she doesn't love women, nor does she hate men. Besides, Ye Lang's appearance is still very handsome, so she shouldn't dislike him so obviously at the first meeting.

Could it be because of me?

Ye Lang had already sat down, but he seemed a little absent-minded, and his eyes kept turning towards this side.

She seemed to be thinner than five years ago, but her appearance was still as bright and beautiful, and her temperament was different from before, with a lot more strength.

Take a look, take a look...

He thought it was not that unforgettable, and that he could find her substitutes everywhere in the world. But now that he saw her again, he realized that the moon over Tianshan was simply irreplaceable.

She still worries about it from time to time.

This obvious abnormality had already been noticed by Young Madam He Qing. She swallowed the tea in the cup and slammed the jade cup on the table.

-

It was noon when the banquet began.

The male guests gathered together to chat about all sorts of things, and in the back garden of the Grand Tutor's Mansion, female guests could be seen everywhere gathering in groups of three or four to chat and laugh.

Lin Shan was tired of dealing with those flatterers and didn't realize that the banquet had already started. He found an empty small courtyard to bask in the sun.

Ji Shihan said that he was hosting a banquet for Lin Shanjuan, but in fact his main purpose was to get close to Ye Lang. He wished that Lin Shanjuan would find a place to hide so that he could take the opportunity to humiliate him and avenge what happened in the court that day.

"Why isn't the Prince Consort here?" Someone looked around while holding a cup. Ye Lang subconsciously raised his eyebrows and looked at him sharply: "Prince Consort?"

Seeing this, Ji Shihan sneered inwardly: "Young General, you may not know that Her Royal Highness the Princess has recently found a female consort and promoted her to the position of Imperial Inspector, so she specially invited her to a banquet."

Female prince consort?

Ye Lang's eyes darkened. She had married five people in five years, and now she didn't care about gender?

It's getting more and more ridiculous!

Seeing that he was angry, Ji Shihan knew that his plan had begun, and began to persuade Ye Lang to drink:

"Everyone says they are in love, but I don't think so."

Ye Lang's eyes brightened a little: "Grand Master, please tell me in detail."

Ji Shihan twirled his cup around, not answering directly. Instead, he whispered in her ear, "Everyone knows about His Highness Xihe and the Young General. Even though she's the eldest princess of a country, she's still a woman after all. How could she easily change her true feelings when she's given them to someone?"

Ye Lang's eyes became brighter and brighter. Ji Shihan knew that he had already believed half of it, so he continued to pour wine and persuade him.

Xihe sat at the head of the female banquet, watching the two whispering in each other's ears, and felt even colder in his heart.

It is unexpected that Ye Lang, who hates power struggles the most, can now have such a good chat with a veteran who is good at using power struggles.

Ye Lang, Ye Lang, how many disgusting things about you are there that I haven't discovered before?

"...His Highness Xihe."

A call drew Xihe's attention back. She looked away, but did not miss the jealousy and resentment that was hastily suppressed in He Qing's eyes.

his wife?

"I'm new here, so I'd like to offer a drink to Your Highness." He Qing said, holding the cup and drinking it all in one gulp.

Ye Xi, who was sitting below her, didn't have time to stop her, and was too embarrassed to look Xihe in the eye, so he could only pull her clothes slightly to remind her.

He Qing, however, couldn't care less. Did these two treat her like air? They dared to look at each other in front of so many people. If she didn't show any anger, wouldn't she be divorced tomorrow?

Xihe ignored her protest and took the tea Xiaoer poured: "I am not good at drinking, so I will use tea as a substitute."

After all, it was a grudge between the two of them. As both were women, there was no need to involve He Qing, nor to embarrass her under the gazes of so many women.

Qi Zhaomian slowly drank the tea in the cup, which was already giving her enough face, but He Qing did not regard this as a favor.

"My young general has always loved drinking, which is why we were able to meet and fall in love. But Your Highness has lost the ability to appreciate wine."

This statement was obvious. She was mocking Xihe, not for losing the joy of drinking, but for losing Ye Lang.

I am Ye Lang’s only legal wife, she emphasized.

Ye Xi was so shocked that she grabbed He Qing's hand tightly and shook her head at her, but He Qing couldn't bear it anymore, especially when she noticed that her husband was looking at her more frequently.

She knew he was not looking at her, but the eldest princess.

Seeing that he couldn't stop them and couldn't sit still any longer, Ye Xi had to stand up in shame and leave the table temporarily.

He Qing was still looking at Xihe stubbornly. She was just a neglected wife, and her mind could not accommodate anyone else except the Major General. Therefore, her ridiculous courage supported her to find Xihe to ask for an explanation.

The other female relatives were almost sticking their ears to him. Qi Zhaomian closed his eyes and took a deep breath. When he opened his eyes again, there was no emotion in his eyes.

Qi Zhaomian was thinking about it the afternoon he learned that Ye Lang would come back.

I heard that he had many military achievements and a gentle wife. If I met him face to face, would I still feel bitter and unable to look at him directly?

But now that this scene really happened, she realized that she didn't seem to care.

He doesn't care whether he returns home in glory or not, nor does he care how virtuous and gentle his wife is.

To put it bluntly - from the first time she saw He Qing, she completely lost the desire to look at these two people any more.

For example, now, she looked at the face in front of her that looked a bit like her own and smiled contemptuously.

Is it really because of you that he married you and loves you?

If she said such words, others would think she was a street shrew, competing with He Qing for a man.

It was annoying to continue looking at this face filled with jealousy, so she simply got up and left. Seeing this, Xiao'er hurried to follow.

Qi Zhaomian was provoked by such a stupid woman and was in a bad mood: "Why hasn't the prince consort come yet? Go find her and tell her that the banquet has already started!"

Xiao'er was frightened and trembled. She responded with a nod and ran to find someone as fast as she could.

He Qing clutched the cup in silence, then drank the cold wine in one gulp. The other women watched the excitement, whispering to each other without saying anything.

Ye Lang naturally saw her leave the table, and he couldn't help but feel a little anxious. He had drunk a lot of wine, and coupled with his emotional excitement, he was ready to regret it.

Ji Shihan naturally saw through his thoughts and deliberately suggested, "Your Highness, have you gone to the back garden? It's usually quiet and deserted there, but it's a good place to hide away."

When there is no one around, I can hide away in peace.

Isn't it just that I can say a few words to her?

Ye Lang's heart was moved, and Ji Shihan gave him a way out in time: "I will go over there to take a look, Major General, please do as you please."

Ye Lang was more than happy to do so. After paying his respects, he took his two followers to the back garden.

He Qing stared at Ye Lang intently, and became even more annoyed when she saw that he chased after her without even looking at her. She suddenly stood up and went over there.
