Poisonous Goddess: I'm just lazing around in the mortal realm.

Hao Jing's brows, which were already slightly furrowed, tightened even more. Even he couldn't understand why Xie Qiao would ask him that question.

But out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that it was already late, and he needed to tell Xie Qiao about his worries first, so he hurriedly began to explain.

“She… I won’t tell you about that yet. What I want to tell you is that if Zhou Jinghuai enters the palace again in the near future, you must keep a close eye on him.”

"Why?" Xie Qiao blinked, puzzled.

"Of course, it's because I'm afraid he'll go find Thirteen!"

Hao Jing was so angry at Xie Qiao's question that he quickly pounded his forehead, feeling a little dizzy.

Xie Qiao reacted quickly and grabbed him.

"I'll keep an eye on it for you, but didn't he say you should take the hairpin to her?"

"That's what we're talking about!" After going around in circles, Haojing finally got to the point.

Just as Haojing was about to continue speaking, explaining his concerns and future plans to Xie Qiao, neither of them noticed the man slowly approaching from behind.

"what are you guys saying?"

A cold voice interrupted their conversation.

Haojing subconsciously looked behind the two of them and saw the person he feared most!

Pei Mansion

Ever since Pei Nanyue brought her younger sister back, she has locked herself in her room and never goes out.

Pei Suisui personally cooked a pot of her sister's favorite white jade soup again today and brought it to her sister's door.

A Meng stood at the doorway and bowed to Pei Sui Sui.

"Second Miss, please leave. Eldest Miss said she has caught a cold and is not feeling well, so she cannot see you."

"Just let me in to see my sister, okay?" Knowing she was in the wrong, Pei Suisui stubbornly refused to leave, holding a bowl of hot soup. A-Meng, anxious, didn't dare to stop her too much.

She turned her head toward Pei Nanyue, who was lying on the soft couch beside her, and gritted her teeth to let Pei Suisui into the room.

After all, for her, only the second young lady could comfort the eldest young lady whenever she was unhappy.

Pei Suisui slipped into the house, and as soon as she entered, she was slightly startled by Pei Nanyue's dejected appearance and froze on the spot.

She looked up and saw Pei Nanyue leaning against the soft couch, her clothes disheveled, as if she hadn't moved since the day she returned.

Her long, flowing hair cascaded down her sides, subtly revealing her exquisitely beautiful face.

At this moment, Pei Nanyue stared blankly at the letter in her hand.

Seeing this, Pei Suisui slowly walked forward and softly called out.

"Sister... Sister, are you alright?"

She didn't dare to disturb her sister loudly. She had been willful and capricious, running out to find Thirteen, but she hadn't expected that she would faint right at Thirteen's doorstep because she was too weak.

When she woke up, she was already at the Pei residence.

According to Aru, an old acquaintance of the older sister happened to be passing by and rescued her in time.

At first, Pei Suisui was still a little confused, unable to guess who had so coincidentally saved her.

But ever since she woke up, she heard people in the mansion gossiping that her sister had returned and locked herself in her room, refusing to come out.

In fact, he hasn't eaten anything for the past few days.

Every day when she wakes up, she personally prepares and brings her meals. Three days have passed now, and it was only because Meng was afraid that Pei Nanyue would get sick from hunger that she dared to let her into the house.

Pei Nanyue's lifeless appearance sent a shiver down Pei Suisui's spine.

She quickly placed the soup on the low table beside her and went over to carefully check on her sister's condition.

Unexpectedly, in the instant she looked down, she caught sight of the crumpled letter in Pei Nanyue's hand.

She was so familiar with the handwriting on it that she recognized it as her brother Lian's handwriting with just a quick glance!

She trembled slightly and quickly returned to her original position. Looking down at the ground in front of her, somewhat dazed, she immediately guessed the identity of the person who had saved her.

Aru had told her that Ameng and her sister had received a letter from a stranger, and that's how they found her by following the child who delivered the letter.

The man was thoughtful; he left her in a tailor shop so that others wouldn't easily discover her, which in turn preserved her reputation.

Thinking of this, a few beads of sweat rolled down Pei Suisui's forehead. Such a meticulous person could only be the current Khan of the Western Regions, Helian Nash!

Pei Suisui saw that her sister was still leaning against the cushion, without any reaction.

So she brought over the soup from the side and said...

"Sister, you should eat something. You haven't eaten for days. You can't let yourself get sick from starving."

She slowly squatted down beside Pei Nanyue, carefully holding a spoon, intending to feed her sister the white jade soup.

But Pei Nanyue slowly closed her eyes, her voice hoarse as she spoke.

"I don't want it, take it away."

"Sister..." Pei Suisui wanted to comfort her, but didn't know where to begin. She stared stubbornly at the soup bowl in her hand, and slowly spoke.

"Sister, this is white jade soup that I made for you myself early this morning. Please try some."

"I don't want to drink right now." Pei Nanyue slightly opened her eyes, glanced at her briefly, and then closed them again.

Pei Suisui was also getting a little anxious, after all, she knew that her sister hadn't eaten a single grain of rice in the past few days, and that this would definitely ruin her health.

Even if her older sister doesn't care about her health, she will!

Thinking of this, Pei Suisui brought the spoon full of hot soup to Pei Nanyue's lips again.

"Sister, please eat something. I cut my hands several times while making this white jade soup for you."

Seeing that her forceful approach wasn't working, Pei Suisui had to resort to a softer one. She thought that her older sister had always loved her the most and would definitely not let her get hurt for nothing.

But this time, Pei Nanyue did not do as she expected. Instead, she raised her hand and knocked over the soup bowl in her hand, and the scalding soup almost splashed on her.

"what--"

Pei Suisui instinctively called out, trying to get her sister's attention.

But when she looked up after dodging the soup, she only saw Pei Nanyue turn over and face the wall, not wanting to pay attention to her anymore.

Upon seeing this scene, Pei Suisui finally understood that her sister was still angry with her.

She quickly squatted down again, tugging at Pei Nanyue's sash and whispering...

"Sister, it's all Sui Sui's fault. Sui Sui will never dare to go out before she's fully recovered again. Please forgive Sui Sui." She said coquettishly, while tugging at Pei Nan Yue's clothes.

Unexpectedly, Pei Nanyue ignored her.

But at this moment, the letter that had been pressed under Pei Nanyue at some point quietly fell from the soft couch to the ground.

Pei Suisui felt a little uneasy, but in order to help her sister recover as soon as possible, she decided to keep it a secret from her sister, who was facing away from her, and bent down to pick up the letter.

I don't know if I don't see it, I'm startled when I see it.

When Pei Suisui picked up the letter, the contents of it instantly made her blush.
