Zhong Shi was puzzled when he saw the young master suddenly make a move.

Turning around, he saw Qiao Wanwan alone, collapsed on the ground.

Fortunately, the young master's silver needles did not harm Miss Qiao.

Qiao Wanwan was overjoyed to hear Zhong Shizhen's voice.

She quickly propped herself up, her body feeling slightly weak, and ran to them.

I anxiously told them:

"Please hurry and save Zhou Xinyue! She's been knocked unconscious by a womanizer, and she's in the room next to mine. Please go and save her!"

"How could this happen!"

Zhong Shi frowned slightly and consulted Xie Ze, who was sitting in a wheelchair and had not spoken.

"Master..."

"Go."

"Ok."

“Miss Qiao, don’t worry, Zhong Shi will go and take a look now.”

"Okay, come with me."

Qiao Wanwan led the way to the superior guest room.

Zhong Shi and Xie Ze followed behind.

The door to the room next to Qiao Wanwan's, which had been half-open, was now tightly shut.

She had a slight doubt in her heart.

He kept reminding them that he dared not get close.

"right here."

"Alright, I'll go in and take a look. Please wait outside, Miss Qiao and Young Master."

"it is good."

Zhong Shi, without any hesitation, smashed open the door, only to find it completely deserted.

Not to mention Zhou Xinyue's people.

"what happened?"

"Did Miss Qiao really see Miss Zhou here?"

"Yes, I'm sure."

Qiao Wanwan was somewhat worried, thinking:

Could Zhou Xinyue have been kidnapped by a womanizer?

Zhong Shiwei had some doubts. Had Miss Qiao made a mistake?

He searched the room but found no trace of a flower thief.

But he knew the girl was definitely not lying to him.

Xie Ze, standing to the side, remained silent, his expression serene, as if it were none of his business.

"... "

Zhong Shi wanted to clarify the facts.

I've come up with a good idea:

"How about this, let's go to Miss Zhou's room together and look for her?"

"you're right."

Qiao Wanwan nodded in agreement.

The three arrived at the door of an ordinary hotel room, but hadn't knocked yet.

Gu Chaomu, who was in the next room, heard their commotion and came out to find out what was going on.

What brings you here?

"Young Master Gu, we are looking for Miss Zhou."

"Oh, Xinyue should be asleep by now. I went to look for her just now, and her maid said she was already asleep."

Qiao Wanwan asked in confusion:

"Falling asleep? How could that be? I clearly saw her in the room next to mine."

"?"

Gu Chaomu thought Qiao Wanwan had gone mad when he heard her unusual words.

"Wanwan, don't you know what time it is? Stop fooling around and go to sleep."

"I'm not making a scene. I saw it with my own eyes. Zhou Xinyue was knocked unconscious!"

Just as Qiao Wanwan finished speaking, the door creaked open.

The door was opened.

Xiao Cui, inside, looked at the people outside the door and asked, puzzled.

"Why are you all standing here, young heroes? Aren't you going home to sleep?"

Gu Chaomu clearly didn't believe Qiao Wanwan's words and asked Xiao Cui:

"Where's your lady?"

"My young lady has already gone to bed."

"See? You still say you didn't cause any trouble? Qiao Wanwan, do you really have to make such a scene that everyone can't even sleep in peace?"

"... "

"I really didn't. I clearly saw that flower thief just now. He knocked Zhou Xinyue unconscious and appeared in the room next to mine."

Hearing Qiao Wanwan's words, Xiao Cui suddenly panicked, and her forehead was covered in a fine sweat.

Qiao Wanwan could tell that she was very nervous.

I was certain that she was lying.

Perhaps her master isn't even in the room right now.

As a fellow woman, I still need to check if she's alright.

However, at this moment, Gu Chaomu listened to her words,

This further confirmed that Qiao Wanwan was being unreasonable.

Zhou Xinyue had already agreed with him that they would sleep together in this guest room.

How could it possibly appear near the premium guest rooms?

Don't say it was a flower thief who knocked her unconscious...

He believed that Zhou Xinyue, who was beautiful and kind-hearted, would not lie to him.

Only the willful Qiao Wanwan in front of us is lying all the time.

"If you don't believe me, quickly call your young lady out. Why don't you just ask her?"

Qiao Wanwan thought to herself, she had to see that person today, otherwise she wouldn't be able to sleep peacefully.

Suddenly, a woman's voice came from behind Xiao Cui.

"Who wants to see me?"

"!!"

Qiao Wanwan was stunned; she really was inside.

Zhou Xinyue stepped out of the room and met Qiao Wanwan's gaze.

Their eyes were sharp.

"Are you... not hurt?"

"I've been in my room the whole time, what could possibly be wrong, Wanwan?"

She gave a forced, insincere smile, her eyes carrying a hint of warning.

"... "

Qiao Wanwan understood what she meant.

The other party didn't seem to want anyone to know what had just happened.

She admitted,

I was being nosy; I shouldn't have concerned myself with other people's life and death.

Because no one else needs her to worry.

Xie Ze, who had been observing silently, could naturally read what was going on in their expressions.

He knew Qiao Wanwan wasn't lying.

After all, he had sensed someone else's presence just now, which was why he used a hidden weapon.

He wouldn't explain for Qiao Wanwan either.

However, this woman actually had the nerve to worry about Ms. Zhou, who was also her competitor?

This is so unlike her...

Looking at Qiao Wanwan, Zhou Xinyue across from her felt nothing but disdain.

She was feeling really uncomfortable because she couldn't sleep in a regular guest room.

Not only was it drafty, but the bed was also rock hard and uncomfortable.

How could a rich young lady like her possibly sleep in comfortably?

Therefore,

She then instructed Xiao Cui to stay there and defend.

He secretly went to sleep in the superior room.

Who knew that he would be knocked unconscious by a single blow halfway there.

Later, as I slowly regained consciousness, I realized that I was in a room.

Afraid of being discovered by Young Master Gu, she quickly ran back to her regular guest room.

Then, Qiao Wanwan brought people to find her.

They say she was knocked unconscious by a womanizer?

She was completely unaware of it.

Zhou Xinyue has always felt that she is very lucky.

How could anything bad happen?

However, this incident made her afraid to go out alone again.

She now blames Qiao Wanwan for being nosy and almost exposing her in front of Gu Chaomu.

Fortunately, Gu Chaomu didn't believe her.

She then gave them a rather rude dismissal and told them to leave.

"Since there's nothing else, you should all go back to your rooms and rest. It's getting late."

Gu Chaomu watched as Qiao Wanwan was exposed by Zhou Xinyue, her face turning pale and then red.

Then, feigning concern, he said:

"Wanwan, go back now, stop fooling around. Be good!"

"Ok."

Qiao Wanwan forced a smile at Zhou Xinyue, who was lying, and said something to her.

"I admit I was being nosy. Goodnight."

"... "

Xie Ze's guards summoned Chunxia, ​​who was there to serve tea.

Upon seeing the young lady, they immediately rushed over.

He gently supported her.

"Miss."

Qiao Wanwan waved her hand, indicating that she didn't need Chunxia's support.

Since Zhou Xinyue didn't want to be known, she didn't have the heart to ask any further questions.

He turned to leave.

Zhong Shi spoke up just in time, reminding Qiao Wanwan.

“Miss Qiao, if there really is a flower thief, and you’ve seen his face, he definitely won’t let you go. So for the next two nights, make sure to lock the doors and windows tightly. Stay in your room and don’t go anywhere.”

"... "

Qiao Wanwan now understands from Zhong Shi's words that he also doesn't believe her.

He nodded, gave a perfunctory reply, and left.

...

Back in her room, Qiao Wanwan awkwardly buried herself in the covers, covering her face and sobbing.

"This is so embarrassing!"

"Who asked you to be so presumptuous? Look how hard someone slapped you in the face!"

Chunxia followed, puzzled, and asked:

"Miss, what happened during the time when we were fetching water in spring and summer?"

"Hey!"

Qiao Wanwan's face grew increasingly grim.

He then sat up and explained everything to Chunxia in detail.

Spring and summer were also terrified when they heard this.

"Fortunately, Young Master Xie's hidden weapon saved Miss."

"Yes. But none of them believe me. Is that flower thief really that good at concealing his presence?"

"It's alright, Miss, Chunxia will trust you."

"Ah."

Now, this is the only NPC I can trust.

Qiao Wanwan sighed:

Hey!

I should mind my own business from now on.

Chunxia watched her young mistress sighing and complaining.

With a slight smile, he asked with concern:

"Miss, go to sleep early and don't overthink it."

"Ah."

Qiao Wanwan had just lain down on the bed when she suddenly remembered Zhong Shi's warning.

The flower thief might come back...

Seeing that Chunxia was about to go out to sleep on the tatami mat in the outer room, she quickly called out to her:

"Spring and Summer, why don't you sleep in the same bed with me tonight?"

"Miss, this won't do! You are the mistress, and I am just a servant..."

Qiao Wanwan didn't care about master-servant relationships at all.

How scared would she be if something happened here while she was sleeping alone?

He quickly interrupted her, saying:

"Come quick, I'm scared!"

"... "

Chunxia looked at the young lady, her words tinged with unease.

He did indeed look frightened, and gradually he let go of the distinction between master and servant.

nodded.

"it is good."

Qiao Wanwan was overjoyed to see Chunxia nod in agreement.

I opened the blanket and moved it aside a little for her.

"Come here quickly, come here quickly."

...

Before long, the moon was slowly shrouded in dark clouds.

"Da da da."

The faint sound of a night watchman could be heard from afar.

"It's dry and dry, be careful with the candles!"

Qiao Wanwan closed her eyes, leaned closer to Chunxia, ​​and took her hand.

The other person held her hand in return, giving her a sense of security.

Neither of them was asleep.

but,

A plume of smoke suddenly rose from inside the room.

Colorless and odorless, it slowly seeped into the noses of the two people lying on the bed.

The hands that the master and servant had been holding tightly slowly loosened...

Qiao Wanwan's mind went blank for a moment, then she suddenly regained her senses.

They were filled with doubt and confusion.

I opened my eyes and glanced at Chunxia; she seemed to be asleep.

but,

Why does it feel like there's a white mist in the air?

Qiao Wanwan raised her hand and waved, but it didn't disperse the spirits.

"click"

Suddenly, a voice at the window caught her attention.

Her nerves tightened, and she thought of something bad.

His face turned pale.

She quickly reached out to push Chunxia, ​​who was next to her.

"Spring and summer, wake up."

"Spring and summer?"

But the person next to him was fast asleep, not moving at all.
