The little girl had been on the road all day and had a great time playing in the evening, so she was already tired.
Soon after she got into bed, she fell into a deep sleep.
But Ling Qingwan couldn't sleep.
It wasn’t because she slept in the afternoon, she had something on her mind.
There were no other places to stay around Tingxue Mountain Villa. The nearest one was the post station at the foot of the mountain. Even if Yun Gui knew martial arts, it would take half a day to go back and forth. He would not spend half a day on the road every day just to follow Ling Qingwan.
So Ling Qingwan has been thinking these past two days that Yun Gui would come to Tingxue Villa with the help of An Yi.
In this way, he can stay here with peace of mind.
But from the moment she met An Yi today until now, she hadn't spotted Yun Gui. Ling Qingwan always felt that something was wrong.
She tossed and turned, so she got up, gathered some clothes, and went out to sit in the yard for a while.
The night breeze in the villa was warm, not as cold as in Tokyo. Ling Qingwan put on a coat, which was neither too hot nor too cold, just right.
After a while, Ling Qingwan slowly got up and left the yard.
When they reached another courtyard, Ling Qingwan suddenly stopped. She looked around with an extremely cold expression.
"Come out." Ling Qingwan said in a calm voice.
Then, a moon-white figure descended from the eaves and stopped behind Ling Qingwan.
"How do you know I'm here?" Yun Gui was curious.
"Since I returned to the capital from Suiyang, you have been around me. Since you intend to target me, why wouldn't you follow me to Tingxue Villa?" Ling Qingwan held her breath. Looking at Yun Gui, she couldn't even smile.
"But I didn't expect that you would use An Yi to get to the villa."
"What do you mean?" Yun Gui frowned.
No wonder he found Ling Qingwan was more repulsive to him than last time. It turned out that she had misunderstood him.
"An Yi has a simple personality and is also my best friend. You should come to me to resolve the grudge between us. I shouldn't have used her and involved her." Ling Qingwan's expression remained cold.
Because of this incident, her impression of Yun Gui plummeted to the bottom.
"I didn't take advantage of her, it was..."
"You don't need to explain to me." Ling Qingwan interrupted Yun Gui.
She really couldn't figure out what identity and angle Yun Gui used to explain to her. This strange and bizarre relationship made Ling Qingwan feel very uncomfortable.
"You misunderstood me and didn't let me explain. What should I do?" Yun Gui felt very helpless.
"Then let's talk about how I didn't misunderstand you." Ling Qingwan met Yun Gui's gaze with cold eyes. "You helped Ling Chuchu to harm me, so I didn't misunderstand you about this matter, right? If that's the case, why should I believe that you followed me all the way to the villa, not to find a way to harm me again?"
She didn't want to get entangled with Yun Gui any more.
Putting aside the relationship between Yun Gui and Ling Chuchu, Ling Qingwan did think that he was a respectable opponent.
It is precisely for this reason that Ling Qingwan is unwilling to become an enemy of Yun Gui.
"I can explain it to you." Yun Gui's brows furrowed deeper and deeper.
"No need." Ling Qingwan didn't want to say more to Yun Gui.
"Well, if you think I took advantage of your friend, I will leave. Before that, I will cure your headache first, okay?" Yun Gui's attitude was extremely sincere.
When has he ever been so humble to anyone
But Ling Qingwan is worth it.
"How do you know I have a headache?" Ling Qingwan asked in surprise.
Aren't these things known only to a few close people around her
"Your brother mentioned it to me." Yun Gui told Ling Qingwan.
Ling Qingwan understood.
Ling Xiao and Yun Gui had chatted for a few days, so it was reasonable and not surprising that he mentioned her.
"It's okay, my headache is not serious, and it hasn't recurred during this period. There's no need to bother me." Ling Qingwan coldly rejected Yun Gui.
"When you were in Suiyang, did you go to find a family, thinking that the family was the famous genius doctor Huai En?" Yun Gui suddenly mentioned this to Ling Qingwan.
Ling Qingwan was shocked.
Of course she remembered. She also remembered that she had suspected some time ago that the family she went to visit that day was Yun Gui.
But all these are unimportant in the face of the fact that Yun Gui is from the Northern Zhou Dynasty.
Even if Yun Gui was Huai En, he could not save Wei Xun.
"I am not Huai En. Huai En is actually my uncle." Yun Gui told Ling Qingwan his identity in detail. "I am the young master of Lixin Valley. My uncle Huai En suddenly disappeared three years ago and has never contacted my father and mother since then. I was concerned about my uncle's safety, so I left home alone and traveled around to find my uncle."
"I know you want to find my uncle to save someone. Although my medical skills are not as good as my uncle's, I learned from him personally and am better than ordinary doctors. I am fully confident that I can cure your headache."
Yun Gui had explained it clearly enough. Ling Qingwan didn't believe him, so he had no choice but to prove his innocence in this way.
It seems that Yun Gui mistakenly thought that Ling Xiao was looking for Huai En because of her headache. This was not what Ling Qingwan cared about the most. What made Ling Qingwan confused after hearing this was that Yun Gui was actually from Li Gu.
She hadn't heard the words "Lifu Valley" for a long time.
"You investigated me before, and I know it all. People from Lixin Valley don't reveal their identities easily, so it's normal that your people couldn't investigate. I'm telling you in person now, isn't that enough to express my sincerity?" Yun Gui looked expectant, waiting for Ling Qingwan's response.
It took a long time for Ling Qingwan to come back to her senses.
"Maybe my brother didn't tell you clearly that he went to see the genius doctor Huai En not because of my headache. My headache is not important." Ling Qingwan said.
"What's that for?" Yun Gui was very worried about Ling Qingwan.
"You don't need to know." Ling Qingwan struggled for a moment, but still couldn't get over the hurdle in her heart and didn't want to tell Yun Gui.
People's hearts are hidden, he just revealed his true identity, but he had hurt Ling Qingwan before, and this was put into action. Ling Qingwan had no reason to believe Yun Gui.
“Second Miss Ling…” Yun Gui felt helpless when he saw that Ling Qingwan was still not moved.
"You go back, I'm going to go back and rest too."
After saying that, Ling Qingwan turned around and left.
Yun Gui hung his head in dejection, looking at Ling Qingwan's departing back.
She said to go back, but she didn't say whether she was going back to her room or back to Li Valley. Yun Gui thought about this, and a glimmer of hope ignited in his heart.
Ling Qingwan did not return to her room. She was afraid of disturbing An Yi, so she sat in the yard for a while.
How did she get entangled with the people from Li Li Valley? Ling Qingwan couldn't figure it out.
As Yun Gui said, few people knew about Li Li Valley. But Ling Qingwan had lived through a lifetime, so she knew something about it.
But Ling Qingwan didn't know much. She only witnessed with her own eyes as a wandering soul after her death how the people from Lixin Valley killed her grandfather.
In his previous life, not long after Ling Qingwan's death, Shen Chengzhou also fell seriously ill and was bedridden.
