Bai Suzhen got up early in the morning and cooked breakfast herself, and brought it to Xiaoqing's room. When she came to the door, she knocked a few times, but no one responded for a long time. Bai Suzhen hesitated, thinking that maybe Feng Qinghuan and Xiaoqing had not woken up yet, so she stopped knocking, just gently opened the door and walked in.

On the bed, Xiaoqing was lying on her side. The quilt was kicked aside by her and was slanted on the edge of the bed. Seeing that it was about to fall to the ground, Bai Suzhen shook her head in amusement, wondering how Qing'er could be so restless when sleeping. She even had the habit of kicking the quilt, and she was not afraid of catching a cold. She put the breakfast on the table, walked to the bed and carefully covered Xiaoqing with the quilt again. Inadvertently, she saw a few clear red marks on the back of Xiaoqing's left hand exposed outside the quilt, as if it was caused by someone pulling it. Bai Suzhen frowned slightly, feeling confused and distressed. There were no such red marks on the back of Qing'er's hand last night. Who hurt her? Suddenly she remembered Feng Qinghuan. Shouldn't she be in this room? Why was there no sign of her? Bai Suzhen looked around. The room was empty. It was obvious that Feng Qinghuan had not been seen.

"Miss Feng! Miss Feng!" I tried calling a few times but no one answered.

Where did Feng Qinghuan go? Did she go back to Wuyou Pavilion without saying goodbye? Impossible! Na Kong Qianli already knew Feng Qinghuan's identity in Wuyou Pavilion. Moreover, after the battle last night, Na Kong Qianli would definitely not set foot in Wuyou Pavilion again so soon. Even if Feng Qinghuan went back, it would be meaningless. Moreover, she was not a person who did things without explanation. Even if she left, she should definitely not leave without saying goodbye! Could it be that something happened here after she left last night? Bai Suzhen's heart tightened, and she had a vague ominous premonition. She carefully checked the furnishings in the house and saw that everything was in order, not messy, and there was no sign of fighting. She breathed a sigh of relief and her worries were reduced by three points.

"Sister, what are you doing?" Xiaoqing's voice came from behind, weak and a little hoarse.

Bai Suzhen took a deep breath, turned slowly, looked at Xiaoqing, and said with a smile: "Nothing. Qing'er, how do you feel? Are you feeling better than yesterday?" She took the breakfast on the table, walked to the bed, and sat down on the edge of the bed.

Xiaoqing sat up, stretched, leaned against the wall, hugged the quilt, and nodded to Bai Suzhen with sleepy eyes: "Yeah, I'm fine." Her vision was blocked by the drooping hair. Xiaoqing straightened the messy hair and asked: "Where are the others?"

Qing'er in front of her seemed much lazier and quieter, totally unlike the playful and active little girl in her daily life. Her casual gestures revealed a graceful temperament that made Bai Suzhen lose her mind for a moment.

"Sister?" Xiaoqing frowned and looked at Bai Suzhen strangely, not understanding why she was absent-minded.

When Xiaoqing called her, Bai Suzhen realized that she had been distracted by Xiaoqing. Her face turned red, and she felt a little embarrassed. She lowered her eyes, calmed down, and when she looked up again, she was still the elegant and graceful woman.

"Qing'er, eat something first. Your injury will take some time to heal. Just stay here and do nothing these days. Leave all the trivial matters to me." Bai Suzhen's tone was gentle. She scooped a spoonful of porridge with a spoon, blew it gently to cool it down, and then handed it to Xiaoqing's mouth.

Xiaoqing was stunned for a moment, then her eyes rolled, the corners of her lips slightly raised, and she was enjoying it. She opened her mouth obediently and let Bai Suzhen feed her.

"By the way, you haven't replied to what I just said. Where are Sister Feng and the others? Why can't I see them?"

"Them?" Bai Suzhen paused slightly while holding the spoon, and said, "Your five friends all stayed in the mansion last night. As for Miss Feng--" She hesitated, not knowing how to explain Feng Qinghuan's "disappearance" to Xiaoqing.

Seeing Bai Suzhen hesitate to speak, Xiaoqing couldn't help but ask anxiously, "What's wrong with Sister Feng?"

Bai Suzhen saw Xiaoqing's anxious look, but it was because of the woman named Feng Qinghuan. Her eyes dimmed and she felt uncomfortable for no reason. The next moment, she found it funny that she had such a feeling. Jealousy, she was actually jealous of Feng Qinghuan? Jealous of Xiaoqing's care for her! Bai Suzhen shook her head and laughed at herself, thinking: Qing'er and Miss Feng knew each other before, so their friendship is naturally closer than hers, so why should she be jealous. After calming down, she looked at Xiaoqing and said seriously: "Qing'er, Miss Feng insisted on staying to take care of you last night. I didn't see her when I came in this morning, and now I don't know where she is." She thought about hiding it temporarily, but she had no right to do so. Miss Feng was Xiaoqing's friend, and Xiaoqing had the right to know everything about her.

Xiao Qing was shocked when she heard this and asked in a lost voice, "What? You mean Sister Feng is missing?"

"Maybe she just left without saying goodbye." Bai Suzhen tried to comfort her, but she also knew that the chance of Feng Qinghuan leaving without saying goodbye was extremely small.

"No! Sister Feng is always very careful. She would definitely say goodbye if she was leaving. She wouldn't just leave without saying goodbye." Xiaoqing frowned and said anxiously, "No, I have to go find her. Maybe she's in some trouble." Xiaoqing said as she lifted the quilt and prepared to get out of bed. Bai Suzhen was about to speak out to stop her when she saw Xiaoqing suddenly stiffen and stare at the red mark on the back of her hand.

"Qing'er." Bai Suzhen looked at Xiaoqing worriedly, her red lips slightly opened, but she didn't know what to say, so she could only bite her lip and remain silent.

"It turns out that they were the ones who took Sister Feng away." Xiao Qing murmured in a low voice after a long time.

"Who are they?" Bai Suzhen asked in confusion.

"Sister Feng's sisters." Xiao Qing glanced at Bai Suzhen and added disdainfully: "But they all have bad tempers, and none of them are as gentle as Sister Feng." Especially the Peony Fairy, who is the head of all flowers, but has a small temper. Last time, she just stole a bottle of Yulu Wine from her, and she hated me. Every time they met, she had to give me a gift. This time, she took it out on her hand. Xiao Qing raised her left hand, looked at the red marks on the back of her hand, and muttered angrily in her heart: Mu Yanran, you actually took advantage of someone's misfortune? Humph! You chose to do this when I was injured. You are really uncultured. Don't let me see you in the future, otherwise I will definitely return it double.

After complaining for a while, Xiaoqing felt much better. Thinking that Feng Qinghuan was taken away by Mu Yanran, there was no need to worry about her safety, so she felt relieved and sat back on the bed. She raised her eyebrows, looked at Bai Suzhen and the food box beside her, her heart moved, she smiled slightly, and suddenly thought of a good idea to play a prank on her.
