The Fourth Lady

Chapter 5 Spy in the Garden

Qingyan's voice startled the people outside the door. As soon as Zizhu pushed open the door she called out, "Miss, what happened?"

Looking at the blur of the retreating purple figure, Qingyan dully replied, "Nothing, it was just that a mouse had suddenly appeared in the room earlier, but I've already driven it away."

After she finished her words, she picked up the books on the edge of the desk and proceeded to read them.

Murong Jingxuan, who was lying on the roof, listened to Qingyan's every word clearly, and couldn't help but to think: he was probably that big mouse without a doubt.

"Miss, it's getting late, it's best to rest early."

"I'll rest after finishing these few pages." Qingyan smiled at Zizhu as she said this, "You can go rest first."

"Yes." Zizhu gently closed the door behind her as she left the room.

Qingyan rested one hand on her chin as she sat at the edge of the desk, pondering over what Murong Jingxuan had just said.

She raised her head to look towards the scenery outside the window, silently mouthing: "From now on, Qilian Qingyan shall cease to exist in this world."

Meanwhile, an elderly woman was respectfully kneeling in a room of the second house, relaying everything that was seen and heard during the day to her, and this elderly woman was precisely Su Qingyan's wet nurse––Granny Ruo.
