Chapter 116 The Two Masters and Wife Meet 1
Lihua touched Man Ting with her arm and said with a smile: "Hero Xie, does she regard you as her father? If she really has nowhere to go, otherwise it would be good to accept this daughter. She is so big now, and she has saved many years of money." Where's the rice!"

Everyone at the table laughed.Que Ling whispered next to him: "Second mistress, don't be complacent, the eldest mistress is still upstairs! If there is no subordinate to stop you, I guess the machete will cut your neck off!"

"Look," Haitang pointed to Que Ling and said, "You're still talking to yourself, is she really a silly girl? It's really pitiful, but I haven't heard of any family in this town having a silly girl!"

"Brother Haitang, if you want to pity her, why don't you take her back and be Hongling's companion?" Dongping joked.

Que Ling suddenly turned his head and threw a stern light at Dongping, as if saying that you are courting death!Dongping was stunned by this gaze, and hurriedly withdrew his gaze and said, "It's not stupid, it's crazy. Look at her like she wants to eat people."

Man Ting glanced at Que Ling again, and Que Ling's eyes immediately became obedient, and he hurriedly turned his head and murmured while hugging his teacup.Lihua suddenly noticed this, women's sense of touch is more sensitive.She found that every time Manting stared at the girl, the girl was as obedient as a little white rabbit, as if she was a little afraid of Manting.So, she put down her chopsticks, turned to Que Ling and asked, "Girl, where are you from?"

Que Ling turned his head, revealing half of his face, hesitated for a moment and said, "I...I can't remember..."

"Oh!" Everyone at the table in the courtyard was surprised.Dongping smiled and said, "Let me tell you, she is a silly girl who can't find her way home!"

"Are you alone?" Lihua asked again.

"Hmm..." Que Ling nodded, thinking that it's okay to play dumb, but those who call her stupid will definitely end badly!
"Then how did you get to the town?" As soon as the words finished, the guy who went to grab the medicine shouted to Que Ling: "Girl, the medicine is ready, take it quickly!" Que Ling quickly put down the teacup and ran over quickly He snatched the medicine bag from the clerk, and went to the backyard in a hurry.The speed of this action surprised everyone again.

Li Hua suddenly looked at Man Ting, blinked her eyes and asked, "Xie Man Ting, could she be your illegitimate daughter?"

Man Ting couldn't help laughing, and asked back, "Am I that old?" Lihua deliberately looked at Man Ting, and said, "It doesn't look that old, but I think she looks a little bit like you. Like, don't you think?"

Man Ting was stunned for a moment, glanced at the direction where Que Ling disappeared, and asked, "Does it look like it?"

Lihua pointed to her eyebrows and said, "I think it looks quite similar here. Could it be that Xie's family and their child fell outside?"

"That's not possible," Haitang interjected, "Ms. Xie gave birth to five sons alone, but no daughter. This is a well-known story in the village and outside the village, and everyone regards her as a mother-in-law. Back then, the court was full. I lost it, I didn’t lose any daughter or anything like that. But—” He lowered his brows and thought for a while, then shook his head lightly and said, “It’s very unlikely!”

"But what, Brother Haitang?" Lihua asked.

"It's nothing, I just thought that besides Manting, the only people who have been thrown away in the village are Grandma Yun's daughter. But think about it, it's not right to calculate this age! Grandma Yun's daughter must be 40 or [-] years old, right? How can she be as young as the little girl in front of her? Impossible."

The people at the table started discussing Grandma Yun's daughter again, because almost all of them were juniors, so they didn't know much, but Uncle Cui was older and knew some things about that year.Everyone asked Uncle Cui nonsense for a while, and then went back to their rooms to sleep after eating.

When Man Ting and Li Hua walked back to the backyard, they looked up and saw Que Ling sitting on the railing opposite their room with one leg, looking down from time to time while tossing the silver in his hand.Seeing the two of them, she shook her hand, and the money thrown out fell directly on Li Hua's head.

Lihua covered her head and let out a soft cry.Man Ting was busy protecting her, raised his head, and cast two swishing cold lights at Que Ling.Que Ling stuck out her tongue in fright, and quickly hid behind the wooden pillar, muttering: "Second master, I didn't mean to hit you, so don't hold grudges! Otherwise, master will kill me!"

It was only after hearing the sound of the door closing in the opposite room that Que Ling slowly stuck his head out. It seemed that the two of them had gone back to the room and were safe for the time being.Tonight, you just need to stay outside to prevent the master and Jingtai master and servant from meeting each other.Early tomorrow morning, she will encourage Jingtai to leave this town and search elsewhere. At that time, she will find a chance to come back.

It was late at night, and the inn was completely quiet.Everyone else went back to their room to sleep, but Que Ling was wearing a dress, yawning and guarding in front of the mirror door.The night was long, she wanted to sleep but dared not sleep, for fear of a mistake.She was playing with the broken silver in her hand boredly, wondering what brother Amber was doing?You must lie on the warm couch and sleep, you heartless guy!I've been away for more than half a month, and I don't come to see me, I have no conscience!

Just when he was about to fall asleep, the door of the mirror platform suddenly opened and came out, and Que Ling opened his eyelids energetically, and blurted out, "Where are you going?"

"What do you mean, Sangqueling?" Jingtai cast a dissatisfied glance at her and asked, "Do you have to ask me where I'm going? You don't go into the house to rest, you plan to spend the night here?"

"I'm afraid that if I go in, I will kill you on impulse. In order to avoid being charged with murdering the master, I'd better stay away from you."

"Hmph," Jingtai said with a cold smile, "If you want to kill me, you have to ask if your morality is high! I'm going to the latrine, do you want to go with me?"

"No, please do yourself!"

After the mirror table gave Que Ling a puzzled look, he walked slowly downstairs.Que Ling yawned again, but before the yawn was over, the door on the opposite side opened, and she immediately broke out in a cold sweat. Looking carefully, fortunately, it was only the second mistress who came out, not the master!
Look again, why is this situation a little bit wrong!The two masters and wives have both come out. Is this planning to fight?However, they don't seem to know each other.Thinking of this, Que Ling was a little relieved, and stared at the two with a pair of eyes.

Lihua and Jingtai both walked to the stairs, glanced at each other, seemed not to care, and continued to walk downstairs, it seemed that both of them were going to the latrine.Que Ling didn't dare to neglect, and followed behind like a ghostly shadow.But she didn't dare to get too close, for fear of showing something to the mirror.

Seeing that both of them were heading towards the hut, Que Ling sat at the stone table and waited.She thought to herself that she would help the second wife-in-law if she did anything, who would make her dislike the first-in-law?And the master seems to really like the second master's wife!

When Que Ling was lying on the stone table waiting, Li Hua had already returned.She glanced at the bird spirit and was stunned for a moment. Could this be an upgraded version of the legendary lingering ghost?This girl seemed to like to follow her and Xie Manting very much, she looked a little silly, but Lihua felt that this girl seemed to be pretending to be stupid.

"Girl?" Li Hua called out behind Que Ling.

"Oh, Second Master..." Que Ling almost shouted.

"Second master? What second master?" Li Hua tilted her head and looked at Que Ling and asked, "Girl, did you really know my man before?"

Que Ling was afraid that the mirror stand would hear it when he came back, so he hurriedly said: "You should go up and rest first, look at you, you look so bad! You must be tired from entering the city today."

"How do you know we entered the city today?"

"That... isn't that what you said when you were eating? You said it too loudly, everyone can hear it? You hurry up, your man is still waiting for you! Remember, close the door and bury your head in sleep , sleep till the sun rises and don’t get up!"

"why?"

"If the weather is fine, sleep a little longer! Only when you are refreshed can you continue shopping!"

Lihua thought to herself, what kind of reason are you doing?A stranger tells you that if the weather is fine tomorrow, you’d better sleep until the sun is up. Isn’t that too strange?And this person has always used honorific names for himself.She became more and more curious about this girl, and always felt that something was wrong.She asked again: "Miss Ah Ling, why do you keep calling me you, you? I don't seem to be that old, do I?"

"Ah? Hahaha... I've always been so polite to people, don't mind." Que Ling hurriedly laughed a few times to cover up her guilty conscience.When she got excited just now, she managed to bear the words "Second Master Wife", but it became a respectful title as soon as she uttered it.

"Oh," Li Hua nodded and asked, "Where is Miss Ah Ling from?"

"Well... what are you asking for?" Que Ling blinked and asked back.

"Have you heard of Zique Village?"

"Purple Magpie Village? Never heard of it."

"Then have you heard the three words Xie Manting?"

"I've never heard of it either!" Que Ling's heart tightened, did the second master's wife notice something?

Immediately afterwards, Lihua asked again: "Then have you ever stayed in a military camp before?"

"Wait..." Que Ling rolled his eyes, looked at Li Hua with a slight frown and asked, "Why are you asking this? Do you look at me like I was in a military camp?"

"The girl's attire doesn't seem to be from an ordinary family, so I asked curiously. From your tone, it seems that you have been in the military camp? But, how could a girl's family get mixed up in the military camp?"

Que Ling suddenly felt that the second wife in front of her was a bit thoughtful, not as stupid as the village girls in her impression, who almost got the truth out of her mouth, it seems that the woman who can be attracted by the master is not ordinary!She hurriedly smiled and said, "I have an older brother in the military camp, and he just went there to play, but never messed around."

"Can you tell me why you keep staring at our family?"

"Is there... is there? He told you?"

"Do you need to say it, girl? You made it clear that where we go, you go, who are you? Why do you follow us like this? Do you really know our family Xie Manting?"

Just as Que Ling was about to speak, Jingtai walked over slowly.She was a little flustered, and hurriedly pushed Lihua towards the stairs and said, "Who cares about me, hurry up, you have nothing to do here!"

Que Ling was a bit strong and almost pushed Li Hua down.She hurriedly stood on the handrail of the stairs, and asked with one hand on her hip, "Girl, just now you said you were polite, but now your son is pushing people? Are you sure you didn't come out of a madhouse?"

"I won't talk nonsense with you, and I don't know you!" Que Ling hurriedly waved to Lihua.She thought to herself, Second Mistress, you should go up first, the subordinates are suffering a lot here!You should be considerate and considerate of your subordinates!Who let the master marry a martial arts master's wife before you?

"Sangqueling, what are you doing here?" Jingtai glanced at Sparrowling, then shifted his gaze to Lihua, took a closer look, and suddenly felt uncomfortable.

"I...I'm looking for someone to chat with! Didn't you see? The night is so boring, I can't sleep!" Que Ling pretended to be innocent and naive.

Seeing her expression, Jingtai became inexplicably angry.She suddenly remembered that in the past when she was in front of Yan Luo, she often used this expression to talk to Yan Luo. Although Yan Luo didn't have much reaction, he always accepted everything he ordered.Before Jingtai married Jingyou City, she was the only woman beside Yan Luo.At first, Jingtai didn't take her seriously, but later when Jingtai gradually developed love for Yan Luo, he began to hate her, hated that Yan Luo had a trusted woman beside him.
