Qi Lingying returned to her previous calmness, as if she was not the one who was as listless as a sloth just now.

"I have to pay close attention to my breathing in Qi Mansion. It's rare to see an adult. Please allow me to relax for a moment."

Qi Lingying looked at Jing Yu with trust and dependence in her eyes, which made Jing Yu's desire to teach her a lesson turn around.

"The marriage belongs to you and me. You don't need to be the only one to take care of it. If there is anything you can't handle, you can send someone to me at any time."

The corners of Qi Lingying's lips raised slightly, "Although it is troublesome, it is not impossible to cope with it. Things between you and me remain unchanged. No matter how troublesome the eldest sister is, she will not be able to make a difference. Master Jing does not need to worry about this."

Her voice was very soft and there was no wave in her tone, which made Jing Yu feel more satisfied.

A suitable matron who is a housekeeper should take her time, work slowly, and have a plan.

Jing Yu nodded with a smile and told another thing he was worried about.

"Although the construction of the new mansion is almost completed, we cannot move directly there for the time being. We need to live in Jing Mansion for some time before we can go out and open the mansion."

After Jing Yu finished speaking, he looked at Qi Lingying, his eyes filled with inquiry and investigation.

Qi Lingying calmly picked up a piece of cake and took a small taste. Then she said with a smile: "The shopkeeper said this cake is a new recipe. It tasted the same as the ones from the previous days. It was not too sweet." Some, and others are not much different.”

Jing Yu also smiled and picked up a piece of cake, "Are you fearless now?"

"Afraid, how could anyone not be afraid?" Qi Lingying wiped her hands, admitting she was timid and magnanimous.

"Master Jing is different from other gentlemen. You are probably the most aware of the secrets and filth in the backyard these years."

Qi Lingying's words were scary, but Jing Yu didn't see her panic, so he didn't rush to speak, but waited quietly.

"It's just that since I chose you to be a fellow traveler, I should share the danger. Even if your stepmother is a monster, I will find a way to help you guard the rear."

She picked up the tea in front of her and touched the teacup in Jing Yu's hand.

"Of course, I also ask Mr. Jing to take care of you when you can. I will offer you tea instead of wine, if you agree."

She didn't wait for Jing Yu's answer, she raised her head and drank all the tea in her hand.

Jing Yu saw her looking at him with a smile again, with a cunning look in her eyes that seemed to have taken advantage.

Jing Yu shook his head helplessly and took a sip of tea.

Seeing that he had agreed, Qi Lingying asked Sizhu to get a jar.

"Thank you, Master Jing, for your help regarding Aunt Fang's matter last time."

Jing Yu opened the jar, and the elegant fragrance of tea wafted out.

"This tea tastes sweet, with the sweet aroma of chestnuts. I managed to beg some from my father. Please bring it back to Miss Qianxue, Master Jing. She suffered a lot from what happened to Aunt Fang last time. "

Jing Yu closed the jar and smiled nonchalantly, "Qian Xue is not that stingy, so please relax."

Jing Yu said this, but Qi Lingying accepted the apology on behalf of Qian Xue.

"Have you taken care of Aunt Fang's matter?" Jing Yu asked.

"Of course the nails my mother put in my courtyard should be pulled out and thrown far away. However, I haven't left the house yet, so I don't dare to make it too obvious for the time being. Who knows what will happen without Aunt Fang? People come in.”

Qi Lingying casually said about Grandma Fang's current situation, "I just took this opportunity to sort out the courtyard, and I will give you a list when the time comes."

She looked at Jing Yu and smiled gently, but her tone was cold, "I'll trouble you to find a way to do something when the time comes, and don't let them follow. The rest... don't worry yet." Jing Yu saw She already had an idea and stopped talking.

He discussed the details of the marriage with Qi Lingying again. After all the questions were answered, Jing Yu thought about leaving.

Qi Lingying took out another thick red envelope from her sleeve and handed it to Jing Yu.

"New Year's Eve is coming soon. Could you please Mr. Jing to say hello to Miss Qianxue for me?" She said naturally and put the red seal in Jing Yu's hand with a gentle push.

Jing Yu weighed the weight of the red seal in his hand and couldn't help but curl his lips. Qi Lingying was still interested in Qian Xue.

It was time for him to get ready and ask Nanny Li to buy some good-looking styles and give Qianxue a good wrapping.

"Then I'll thank Ling Ying on behalf of Qian Xue." Jing Yu put the red seal back into his sleeve and raised his eyebrows lightly at Ling Ying.

Qi Lingying stood up to see him off, casually took Jing Yu's cloak hanging on the side and held it in her arms.

Jing Yu raised his eyes to look at her, and she walked over with a gentle smile. With a shake of her hands, she unfolded the cloak and put it on him before Jing Yu could react.

Jing Yu felt the slightly lower temperature of Qi Lingying's fingers on the side of his neck, and the faint fragrance of gardenia filled the tip of his nose again.

Jing Yu stepped sideways and distanced himself, and said in a calm voice: "I can do this myself."

Qi Lingying Shiran let go of her hand, her smile still decent.

"It's cold outside, Master Jing, please take care of yourself."

Jing Yu didn't look at her, he responded quietly and went downstairs first.

Qi Lingying did not send him downstairs like the last time it rained. Instead, she opened the window, grabbed the snow on the window frame, made a snowball, and stared at the street quietly.

As soon as Jing Yu walked out of the store onto the street, she threw the snowball.

Jing Yu felt something coming and raised his hand to block it accurately. The loose snow ball instantly dispersed.

Jing Yu looked in the direction of the snow ball towards the second floor and saw Qi Lingying wrinkled her nose at him and then closed the window with a bang.

Jing Yu blinked and suddenly laughed out loud. This man pretended to be decent and knowledgeable in front of him.

Turning around, he looked like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

As time passed by on New Year's Eve, Jing Yu finally got some rest and could relax in the house for a few days.

In previous years, he was the most annoyed about the New Year. He was tired of everything in Jingfu, the people in Jingfu and the families related to it.

However, Jing Xiang and Zhao always find various reasons and rules to force him to attend this annoying family gathering.

Although he was forced to go, it didn't mean that he gave in to Jing Xiang and others. Whenever he was randomly called upon at a gathering, he would act like a firecracker and try his best to ruin Jing's family banquet.

Although everyone in Jing Mansion was unhappy, he himself was not very happy because he was exhausted.

Fortunately, this year, his status in the court has been steadily rising, and no one in the Jing Mansion is willing to trouble him. They only sent the chief steward to inform him of the time for the family banquet on the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, and no one bothered him anymore.

No one bothered him, of course he chose to spend New Year's Eve in his courtyard.

In his own courtyard, not only were there no idiots who could not look at him and annoy him, but this year there was also an extra person who made him happy.
