The area where Qin Mufeng's tongue was bitten has become swollen, numb, swollen and painful.

Tsk…

What a little wild cat with sharp teeth and a sharp tongue!

he likes.

The conditions in Xuzhou are limited due to the bitter cold, and the charcoal fire in the inn is not very good. Yun Xi has not had a good night's sleep in a long time.

Last night, with the addition of a warm baby like Qin Mufeng, Yun Xi rarely had a warm and peaceful sleep that night, and her whole body felt refreshed from the inside out.

After half-stretching, she suddenly came to her senses, and her face instantly became complicated and ugly.

She gritted her teeth, turned around and looked to her side...

Seeing that Qin Mufeng was not there, she breathed a sigh of relief and stretched herself with peace of mind.

There was still enough heat between the two of them in the quilt. Qin Mufeng must have just woken up. She lay in the warm quilt and thought about what happened last night...

Her pretty little face quickly turned red. To be honest, she didn't know how to face Qin Mufeng.

Thinking that the other party would go to see Magistrate Xu today to find out what was going on, she just stayed in bed unable to get up.

I thought I'd wait until the person is taken away...

Qin Mufeng saw that the lobby of the inn was too cold, so he simply brought the steaming breakfast back to the room to eat, lest Yun Xi get up and get cold.

Since he didn't know if Yun Xi was awake at the moment, he couldn't just open the door and go in. He stood in front of the door, holding the tray with one hand, and knocked lightly on the door with his free hand.

Yun Xi was about to take a nap when she heard someone knocking on the door, but there was no answer.

She thought that if she remained silent, the visitor would leave if she didn't get a response. She never thought that the person knocking on the door would be Qin Mufeng.

When Qin Mufeng walked in quietly carrying breakfast, their eyes met, and Yun Xi was almost overcome with embarrassment.

Fortunately, Qin Mufeng reacted quickly and raised the tray in his hand.

"Xi'er, you're awake, get up and have breakfast."

It was obviously too late to pretend to be asleep now, so Yun Xi could only walk over with a blushing face.

Qin Mufeng originally wanted to ask her if she slept well last night, but he was afraid that she would be offended by the question, so he didn't dare to ask.

Yun Xi was already feeling awkward, but when she saw him looking at her from time to time, the heat on her face became even higher, and even her ears were filled with burning sensation.

"I asked Qin Yi to make a new quilt. It's bitterly cold in Xuzhou and conditions are limited. Please persist."

Yun Xi took a sip of porridge and replied dully: "Yeah."

Qin Mufeng put some pickles in her bowl and asked her to eat the sweet porridge: "I'll go meet Magistrate Xu later. You don't have to wait for me to eat at noon."

After a pause, he added: "Long Jiu and Yun Hu are both at the inn. If you are bored, you can ask them to accompany you on the street."

Yun Xi was a little surprised: "Yun Hu hasn't left yet?" Then why haven't I seen him these days?

"I asked him to help me go out to get information and live elsewhere."

Yun Xi looked at Qin Mufeng suspiciously, his eyes full of suspicion.

"You must be hiding something from me, right?"

Qin Mufeng avoided her sight guiltily and smiled flatteringly: "How could it be? It's too late, I'll leave first."

With that said, he stood up and tried to get out of the way.

Yun Xi's calm words: "Stop." successfully stopped someone from escaping.

"Tell me, what did you ask him to do?"

Qin Mufeng regretfully scolded himself for being stupid while answering Yun Xi's questions honestly, not daring to hide anything.

He knew that she hated lies the most, and he didn't want to lie to her.

"Then I told you not to be angry."

"Did you let him go to a brothel?"

Qin Mufeng quickly shook his head when he saw her misunderstanding.

"It's not a brothel, don't tell me it's a men's house."

Seeing him shaking his head and denying it again, Yun Xi felt inexplicably relieved.

Fortunately, it’s good that I didn’t lead anyone to harm.

Although she didn't want to see this gambler brother, he was a member of the Yun family after all, so she had to treat the Yun family well because of the Yun family's saving grace for the original mother and daughter.

"I asked him to go to the casino to find out information."

"Qin Mufeng!"

Qin Mufeng was startled by her sudden shout, and was overwhelmed by Yun Xi's anger before he could react.

"Qin Mufeng, are you sick? You don't know what he is like? You actually gave him money to go to the casino."

"Tell me what you think?"

When Qin Mufeng saw that Yun Xi was really angry, he immediately became serious and did not dare to fool around at all.

"Xi'er, I'm sorry, I know what I did was wrong, but"

"Then you're still going to do it?" Yun Xi was extremely angry and interrupted before he could finish speaking.

"Xi'er, please don't get excited. Just listen to what I have to say, okay?" If I had known, he wouldn't have told the truth.

Yun Xi fell silent and looked at him with her arms folded. Her eyes seemed to say: "You make it up, let me see what reason you can make up."

"...Xuzhou is a bit complicated, and the water is very deep. We are all strangers, so going out to find out information will inevitably make people suspicious."

"I'm just afraid of alerting others, so I have no choice but to do this... you know, my personal guards really don't pretend to be different."

"Xi'er, please don't be angry. Don't worry, I will take care of brother Hu's decision to quit gambling from now on."

Seeing that she wanted to speak, Qin Mufeng hurriedly said, "Don't worry, I gave him the gambling money voluntarily. It's considered public expense and he doesn't have to pay it back."

The last worry in Yun Xi's heart disappeared: "I know, forget it this time, there will be a next time..."

"No, there will never be a next time, I promise."

Qin Mufeng held up three fingers and looked serious as he swore, which made Yun Xi want to laugh inexplicably, but she held it back.

It snowed all night yesterday and stopped this morning. Stepping on the thick snow and listening to the joyful "squeaking" sound that came from the bottom of my heart, Yun Xi was as happy as a five or six-year-old child.

.

Yun Hu spent most of the night fighting in the casino last night and refused to accompany Yun Xi to go crazy.

Yun Xi simply let him catch up on his sleep at the inn. She was afraid that he would go against the will and asked Qin Yi to stay and watch him.

Regarding her mother's behavior, Yunhu rolled her eyes but didn't say much.

Long Jiu followed Yun Xi not far away, unable to take his eyes away from the man who looked like an elf in the snow.

Suddenly, a snowball flew towards his forehead. He did not dodge and allowed the palm-sized snowball to hit his forehead and scatter on the ground.

The instigator was not as happy as he imagined when the attack was successful. "Brother Long, why didn't you dodge just now?"

"forget."

Long Jiu lied casually. In fact, he just didn't want to hide. He was willing to accomplish everything she wanted to do.

Thinking of her conversation with Qin Mufeng last night, Yun Xi ran over and looked into his eyes and asked with a smile: "Brother Long, are we... friends?"

Surprisingly, Long Jiu fell silent, and did not answer her immediately, "Yes," as firmly as before.

Just when Yun Xi thought he wouldn't answer, he looked into her eyes and said very seriously: "If you wish, we will."
