Chapter 343: Chapter 343: Unfortunately, he said he would make do on the couch for the night!

After a bit of commotion, they heard the sound of the night watch outside, and it was already midnight.

Qi Yue hurriedly chatted with Zhao Xiyan, giggling about her plans to go to the Hu Residence.

“My future husband, are you going to join your wife on this venture?”

“Of course, I couldn’t ask for more.”

The two first left the city, stowed Zhao Xiyan’s plane into the space, then doubled back to the Hu Residence.

Under the cover of night, the Hu Residence was deep, cold, and silent, as if devoid of any human presence.

...

With Zhao Xiyan out, Qi Yue didn’t have to worry about safety—she just needed to snuggle in his arms and quietly watch.

Before long, Zhao Xiyan had brought her to a very tall tree.

“Yueyue, there are quite a few people guarding this place inside and out, aren’t there? Haven’t all the men of the Hu Family died?”

“Are many people guarding it?”

“Yes, look…”

Zhao Xiyan pointed out several spots to her, indeed there were figures.

Qi Yue snorted coldly.

“It must be the doing of my so-called righteous adoptive father.”

“Chu Yuntian?”

“Hmm.”

“What’s with him?” Zhao Xiyan tightened his hold around her waist a little and his voice turned colder, “Is all this directed at you?”

“Probably, I guess.”

“What’s going on?”

Qi Yue briefly explained the situation, which Zhao Xiyan found rather unexpected.

“There have indeed been doubts about General Qi’s affair in the past, but since it was a matter of defending the family and the country, no one delved deeper. Who would have thought there was such a conspiracy?”

“Yes, who would suspect the Beiyuan Court and the people of Nanyue colluding to kill their own loyal subjects? And who would have thought a man hailed as a good official would kill his sworn brother without any hesitation?”

“So what does Yueyue want to do?”

“I haven’t decided yet.”

“Hmm, no worries, take your time, I’m here.”

“Hmm.”

The two of them spoke softly, and soon they entered the back yard of the Hu Mansion.

Qi Yue, holding onto Zhao Xiyan’s waist, directed him to turn left, then right, breezing through two unmanned courtyards before arriving at Hu Keqing’s dwelling.

Compared to an average residence, this courtyard seemed especially desolate, the plants under the eaves were withered, and the air was filled with the smell of decay.

It was as if its master had not died recently, but had been gone for a long time.

“How strange!”

“What’s wrong, Yueyue?”

Qi Yue stopped walking and sniffed the air.

“Xiyan, do you smell something unpleasant?”

Zhao Xiyan nodded.

“There is a bit, perhaps it’s the weird scent of the withering plants?”

Qi Yue hummed in agreement, leaned over to one of the pots, and used the tip of her knife to scoop up some soil to examine closely.

“Ugh….”

Totally disgusting—a pot full of Immortal Bug carcasses!

Lucky for her, she was accustomed to not grabbing things with her hands willy-nilly! Otherwise, today she would definitely have had to chop off one of her hands.

This was thoroughly revolting.

Upon inspecting each flower pot one by one, they were all the same!

Even the small garden in the yard was like this!

“Truly a madman!”

Qi Yue cursed under her breath.

After thinking it over, she still took out a sample bottle, collected some soil, and gave it to her assistant for research.

After finishing these tasks, Qi Yue finally entered Hu Keqing’s room.

Zhao Xiyan had already gone inside to check and said that there wasn’t any large-scale rummaging.

“It seems Chu Yuntian really doesn’t want people to know what he was looking for in this residence! If Hu Keqing really left you something, we should be able to find it.”

Hearing the man’s tone carrying a hint of jealousy, Qi Yue couldn’t help but laugh.

“Exactly, Chu Yuntian wouldn’t take away the love letters that others have given to me, would he?”

“Yueyue…” Zhao Xiyan looked at her helplessly yet dotingly.

The two of them searched the room meticulously but found nothing suspicious.

“Yueyue, could it be that Hu Keqing was implying something else?”

“It doesn’t feel like it.”

Qi Yue carefully recalled the circumstances at that time with Hu Keqing and felt that it was unlikely he was deceiving her.

They searched again, with Qi Yue even mimicking the actions she saw on TV, checking between the walls and on the floors, but still found nothing.

“This is strange, his gaze at that time didn’t seem dishonest.”

Hearing her mutter, Zhao Xiyan also speculated, “Could it have been taken by someone else?”

“That shouldn’t be the case.” Qi Yue narrowed her eyes, “Unless what he left has nothing to do with the poisoning.”

“Are you suggesting that Hu Keqing might have wanted to tell you that the incident from ten years ago had something to do with Chu Yuntian?”

Qi Yue exhaled deeply.

“We can only say it’s a possibility, or maybe he didn’t leave anything at all.”

“We can only think that way for now,” Zhao Xiyan nodded.

“Yeah.” Qi Yue looked around reluctantly once more, “It seems we’ll have to think of another way to deal with the poisoner. I really don’t understand, why couldn’t he just tell us directly the whereabouts of the poisoner?”

Seeing her frustration, Zhao Xiyan did his best to comfort her.

“Perhaps it means something else, it’s best to come back during the day, and besides, there are still people in this residence, we should also ask them.”

“That’s all we can do now.”

The two of them returned from their visit without any success, and by the time they got back to the mansion, an hour had passed.

Qi Yue was about to call someone to arrange a place for Zhao Xiyan to stay but was stopped by him.

“Yueyue, I’ll just make do on the couch for tonight, and we can make arrangements tomorrow, wouldn’t that be better?”

“Are you sure?” Qi Yue looked skeptically at the man before her, wondering if he wouldn’t suffer by sharing a room without doing anything.

Zhao Xiyan’s gaze was intense.

“I’m sure, I want to be closer to Yueyue.”

Seeing him insist, Qi Yue had no choice but to agree.

After all, she trusted Zhao Xiyan completely.

No, there wasn’t even a question of trust or distrust to begin with.

It was her great desire to sleep in the same bed as such a beautiful man.

It was just a pity that he said he’d make do on the couch for the night!

Having not rested for two days, Qi Yue fell asleep as soon as she lay on the bed, unaware that after she slept, Zhao Xiyan climbed into her bed.

And she, just like the first time in the Northern Ridge cabin, turned over and clung to Zhao Xiyan.

Just as she had expected, Zhao Xiyan held her for the entire night, enduring the discomfort in his body, and stayed awake with eyes wide open.

The next day, Qi Yue slept until the sun was high, and when she woke up, she didn’t see Zhao Xiyan on the couch outside but heard the sound of water running in the bathroom, quite loudly.

“I told you not to sleep here, you only have yourself to blame for not listening,” she muttered outside the bathroom, but then heard Zhao Xiyan grinding his teeth in response.

“Try saying that again after we are married?”

The dog of a man had sharp ears, though it was uncertain how well the rest of him functioned.

“It’s not as if I haven’t seen it all before when treating a man’s leg,”

The thought suddenly popped into her mind, followed by the cursed imagery that promptly surfaced in her memory, causing Qi Yue’s face to turn red instantly.

Thankfully, Zhao Xiyan did not know she had seen everything already, otherwise he probably wouldn’t be as well-behaved as now.

Qi Yue quickly fell silent and tip-toed away quietly.
