Clouds and Moon Shadow

Chapter 202 She is vengeful

"Great, Xiao Nian really knows how to appreciate things!" Gu Qingyue said, picking up the adorable Xiao Nian.

After such a long period of training, the little guy has gotten a bit tanned and thinner, but he's clearly become much stronger.

Although he is only six years old, he already looks very different.

Stroking Xiao Nian's fluffy little head, Gu Qingyue thought of something and turned to ask Liu Feng, "Have the people been arranged?"

"It's all arranged," Liu Feng said, composing himself. "I took them over this morning."

His tone of voice was much gentler than before, as if he was afraid of scaring Gu Qingyue.

Gu Qingyue's lips twitched.

"Master," Steward Wang's voice suddenly rang out from outside the door.

"Come in," Gu Qingyue said, looking up.

"Master," Steward Wang said, and quickly entered the central hall.

When I looked up, my head buzzed for a moment, and a look of amazement flashed in my eyes.

But he quickly came to his senses. "Master? You...?" He was a little unsure. The eyebrows and eyes looked like his master's, but the temperament and appearance had changed drastically!

Gu Qingyue clapped her hands, her movements free and easy.

"Let me formally announce that I disguised myself as a man in order to make it easier to escape and make a living. As you all know, it is very inconvenient for women to travel outside in this world. So, I had no choice but to do so. I did not mean to deceive you intentionally."

Rong Qingqing quickly chimed in, "Qingyue, you've done all this for us. If it weren't for us dragging you down, you wouldn't have to put yourself through this." As she spoke, a wave of bittersweet emotion welled up inside her. Looking into Gu Qingyue's eyes, she was filled with gratitude.

“Yes! We understand, how could we blame you?” Wen Qinghong quickly said.

He had mixed feelings in his heart.

He would never forget that Qingyue had saved his younger brother and taught them martial arts so they could make a living.

More than a year ago, Nanzhao attacked the border, causing chaos and displaced many people who were starving and cold. They were only able to live their lives now thanks to Gu Qingyue.

How could they possibly look down on or blame someone just because she is a woman?

"Sister, I like you the most. You're the best to Xiao Nian," Xiao Nian said, stretching out her arms to hug Gu Qingyue's waist, her voice clear and joyful.

Gu Qingyue pinched the little guy's cheek; it felt nice and easy to pinch, so she pinched it again.

"Getting back to the main point, aside from the issue of our identities, I called everyone here mainly to discuss our future development."

"Yes," everyone responded in unison.

It wasn't until early midnight that everyone dispersed and went about their respective duties.

Xiao Nian was already asleep and was carried back to his room by Gu Qingyue.

Everyone else had bright, sparkling eyes and didn't look tired at all.

The main reason is that the leader's words today were too impactful for them! They're still wide awake and not sleepy at all!

The next morning, after Gu Qingyue finished exercising and washing up, she stood in the yard stretching her body.

The comfort and ease she felt made her feel great. Finally free from the tightness and discomfort in her chest, she strolled around, stretching her body, until she reached the main courtyard.

From afar, one could see Rong Qingqing directing people to hang red lanterns under the covered walkway, while Steward Wang stood behind her saying something, his face quite unpleasant.

"What happened?" Gu Qingyue asked.

"Reporting to Master," Steward Wang bowed, "This morning, the waiter on night duty went out and found, found that someone had splashed excrement on the entrance of our Wenxiang Tower." After saying this, his face was so ugly it looked like ink was about to drip from it.

Gu Qingyue was taken aback. "Who did this?"

"We just found out that someone saw them this morning when they were emptying the chamber pot. They were three thugs from the street. Later, our people found out that someone saw them coming out of the back alley of the Qin mansion last night..."

"The back alley of the Qin residence?" Gu Qingyue chuckled. "They've already retaliated so quickly? They found out I'm connected to Wenxianglou? Their methods are so despicable and dirty."

The Qin family is really efficient.

So you found out so quickly that you were working as an accountant at Wenxianglou!

He probably had the idea of ​​getting Wenxianglou to fire him.

If they were to make Gu Qingyue unable to become a doctor again, leaving her with no other options, and then come after her, a weak woman, they would truly be playing a clever game.

“Very well, Steward Wang, I am a woman and I do not have the magnanimity to repay evil with kindness. Find someone to return it, and make sure it looks nice.”

Is Gu Qingyue an easy target?

of course not!

She's vengeful!

She just didn't think much of the Qin family.

Upon hearing this, Steward Wang cupped his hands, his lips twitching. "There's a way to make it look nicer when you're splashing excrement?"

Seeing Steward Wang walk away, Gu Qingyue turned her head and looked at the row of red lanterns hanging on the veranda. "What is Sister Rong doing?"

Rong Qingqing looked at her in surprise, "You haven't forgotten that the New Year is coming soon, have you?"

Gu Qingyue was completely bewildered. Chinese New Year?

"Oh, what's the date today?" She really hadn't paid attention to that.

Last year, it was Rong Qingqing who made the arrangements; she had no idea that it was Chinese New Year.

It wasn't until Rong Qingqing reminded everyone to have a good meal together on New Year's Eve that she remembered.

Ugh, I've been living in a daze, so busy I'm dizzy.

“Today is already the fifth day of the twelfth lunar month,” Rong Qingqing said, getting annoyed at Gu Qingyue’s confused expression.

This little girl is incredibly shrewd in everything she does, but she never remembers holidays or special occasions.

Actually, Gu Qingyue was somewhat wronged.

In her previous life, after her parents passed away, she lived with her maternal grandfather from a young age, but spent most of her time training at the base, often alone, and never celebrated any holidays.

You could say you don't care at all; every day is the same, there's no difference.

"It really is almost Chinese New Year," Gu Qingyue murmured to herself.

She couldn't help but think of that person in the Lizhou camp. It was almost Chinese New Year, and she wondered if he would come back.

"Qingyue," Liu Feng's voice drifted from afar, "Have you heard?"

"what?"

"I heard that all the storytelling routines in the major restaurants were updated last night, and they're selling like hotcakes," Liu Feng said slyly, looking at Gu Qingyue with curiosity.

"Part 1: The Qin family woman is infatuated with the young divine doctor, and the aloof man steals her away but never regrets it; Part 2: The love between the two lovers ends in vain, and the divine doctor transforms into a celestial fairy."

After saying that, he almost burst out laughing!

Gu Qingyue: ...Who came up with such a cheesy book title?

Wait, what did you say? It has something to do with me? Gu Qingyue realized what was going on.

"Yes, it's all over Lizhou City. This morning, before any of the restaurants even opened, the doors were already packed with people wanting to listen to the storytelling," Liu Feng said with a malicious grin.

Gu Qingyue glared at him, annoyed. "Is it that exciting?"

She suddenly stroked her chin, wondering if she should charge a copyright fee for the original work or something.

Rong Qingqing and Liu Feng had no idea about all this. Seeing Gu Qingyue start to daydream, the two huddled together, and Liu Feng went on to tell her all about the news on the street.

The two were talking with great enthusiasm, completely ignoring the fact that Gu Qingyue, the main character, was standing right next to them.

"That's about it," Gu Qingyue said, snapping out of her daze. "Come on, senior brother, you seem to have so much energy. Why don't you do something?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Feng turned around and saw Gu Qingyue's mischievous smile, knowing that someone was about to be in trouble.

Remembering what I'd heard this morning about Wenxianglou being splashed with excrement, I understood immediately.

That's what he came for in the first place.

“Great, that’s exactly what I was thinking.”

Liu Feng carefully examined Gu Qingyue's expression; everything seemed normal. "You don't mind those book anecdotes?"

"What do you care? What does it have to do with me?" Gu Qingyue said dismissively.

Liu Feng immediately gave her a thumbs up, saying that their sect leader was truly magnanimous!

Anyone else would definitely be angry!

Then, the two whispered to each other, and after they finished speaking, they both revealed a cunning smile.
