Kiyomi Tsuki and His Fox

Chapter 109

Why?

What kind of spiritual strength is supporting you?

Kiyoshi said meaningfully, "Lord of the Fortress, if you have any extra frostbite medicine, could you send some to her?"

Lu Qingcheng nodded and said, "Little Sparrow, send someone to deliver some frostbite medicine to that girl."

The little sparrow bowed and said, "Yes, Lord."

Lu Qingcheng said, "Also, I've transferred that girl to work at the Finance Institute. From now on, she won't have to do laundry anymore."

Kiyoshi Tsuki exclaimed with delight, "I knew I was right! The Lord of the Fortress is a kind man!"

Lu Qingcheng snorted, "Don't be too happy yet. If you dare to do something stupid again, see how I punish you."

Qing Jian Yue didn't take his threat to heart at all, and just kept laughing. Lu Qing Cheng glared at him with a stern face, but Qing Jian Yue's smile only grew brighter. Lu Qing Cheng finally couldn't help but laugh. The little sparrow and the little crow also laughed when they saw this.

Chapter 42 Liu Mei

Plum Garden.

"I knew you would come, I knew you would come." Liu Mei looked at Qingfeng with tears in her eyes, repeating the same sentence over and over, almost frantically, "Feng, look at me, am I still as beautiful as before? You love me, don't you? Feng?"

"Enough, stop spouting nonsense." Qingfeng said with annoyance, "I came here just to ask you, what exactly did you mean by what you said that night?"

"No rush. Come in and sit for a while, it'll only be a little while. I'll cook a few dishes and heat up a pot of wine." Liu Mei was pacing anxiously, "Oh dear, where have all those brats gone?"

"If you don't answer me, I'll leave right now."

As Qingfeng made a move to leave, Liu Mei screamed and grabbed his arm.

"Please, Feng, don't go. I was so happy to see you that I lost my composure." Liu Mei pleaded desperately, "I'll talk, I'll talk, I'll tell you whatever you ask, as long as you can stay a little longer." Liu Mei began to sob.

Qingfeng's heart softened, and she said, "Alright, go ahead and tell me."

"Actually, I don't know the details very well either." Liu Mei took out a handkerchief to wipe the tears from her face. "That day, Tong Fengxian argued with the nanny about your father."

"The wet nurse?" Qingfeng recalled, "I heard that the wet nurse was sent to Jingyue Nunnery by Tong Fengxian to recuperate because she was unwell. Is that right?"

“From childhood to adulthood, your nanny loved you the most. She couldn’t stand it and said a few good words for your mother, but Tong Fengxian scolded her and kicked her out. I overheard it by accident.”

What were they saying?

Liu Mei recalled: "The nanny said, 'Miss, please let Madam Yan go. Second Master is already dead. No matter how much resentment you have, you should let it go. If Madam Yan also passes away after Second Master is gone, how grief-stricken the young master will be.'"

Qingfeng knew that the young master the nanny was talking about was herself.

"Tong Fengxian said that the bitch should have died long ago."

Qingfeng's fingers suddenly clenched.

"Qingfeng is not her son."

Qingfeng trembled all over.

"What gives her the right to make Qingfeng call her mother? What gives her the right?"

Liu Mei paused here, and Qingfeng urged, "And then? What did the wet nurse say?"

Liu Mei stammered, "After that, I don't know anything more."

Qingfeng roared, "You don't know? How did you hear that?"

Liu Mei hurriedly explained, "Because, because when I heard those words, I was so surprised that I accidentally made a noise. Tong Fengxian is the kind of person who is very alert, and I was afraid of being discovered, so I hurriedly ran away."

Qingfeng said sharply, "You're not lying to me?"

Liu Mei immediately swore, "If I dare to deceive you, may I suffer a terrible death for the rest of my life."

Qingfeng nodded and said, "Okay, I will find out."

He turned and strode away, Liu Mei chasing after him in a panic, calling his name desperately. But it was all in vain; snowflakes fell like fragrant powder, mercilessly engulfing his retreating figure in an instant. Liu Mei collapsed to the ground, tears streaming down her face.

If only I could do it all over again, if only I had another chance… But it's all too late. What's gone can never be retrieved, leaving only regret, like the ever-flowing spring river, day and night, never ceasing.

In the master bedroom of the academy, Little Sparrow was making the bed, while Qing Jianyue helped Lu Qingcheng remove her robes and change into her pajamas. Lu Qingcheng complained, "I told you I don't like sleeping in clothes."

Kiyomi Tsuki pushed him to sit down and removed the jeweled ribbon from his forehead. "Don't keep grumbling like a child about the same thing. There are often urgent matters to report to you at night. If you sleep naked, you're more likely to catch a cold when you get up in the dead of winter."

The little crow brought over hot water, and Qing Jianyue squatted down to test the temperature of the water in the basin. Lu Qingcheng said, "Let the little crow do it. You have medicine on your hands, so don't get them wet." Qing Jianyue stood up, and after the little crow squatted down to test the water temperature, it lifted his feet and put them into the basin.

After washing his feet, Lu Qingcheng got into bed, and Qing Jianyue helped him cover himself with the blanket. The candlelight flickered in the small inspection room. Lu Qingcheng said, "You all go back and rest. Jianyue, you stay; I have something to say to you."

Kiyomi Tsuki said, "You guys go back to sleep, don't wait for me."

"Yes." The little sparrow and the little crow left the bedroom.

The white fox ran to Qing Jian Yue's feet and pawed at him. Qing Jian Yue bent down, picked it up, and placed it on the quilt. It quickly found a comfortable spot to lie down. Lu Qing Cheng said, "There's a letter in the sleeve pocket of my old cotton robe. Take it out."

"Yes." Qing Jianyue found the letter and presented it to him with both hands. Lu Qingcheng didn't take it. "Open it and take a look." Qing Jianyue was taken aback and looked at him. "Open it." Lu Qingcheng pointed. Qing Jianyue took out the letter, unfolded it, and read it. After reading it, her face was expressionless.

Lu Qingcheng looked at him, "Finished reading?"

“Yes,” Kiyomizuki replied.

“This was delivered by my secret agent who went to Yunnan,” Lu Qingcheng said. “You don’t seem surprised at all.”
