n" >>> 。Let's go out together. 。Qing Xuan wanted to speak, but stopped herself. Her gaze shifted to fall on his legs. 。Three days ago, she would have been worried that Nangong Ye's health wouldn't b...A faint sneer flashed across Qingxuan's eyes.

To her surprise, the chief maid didn't think she was smart and planned to ask her a question. If she couldn't answer it, everyone present would have to hold back their eagerness and just drink tea first.

And she would be ridiculed by everyone for being unable to answer the questions.

To be honest, this chief maid's scheming is quite low-class.

The reason for the low-end is because she asked the wrong person.

Qingxuan's expression remained calm, as if nothing that had just happened affected her.

However, in Liúyún's eyes, Qīngxuán before him was nothing but an act.

Pretend to be calm.

A confident smile flashed across his eyes like flowing clouds.

"This esteemed guest, the question I wish to ask is not difficult at all. It's merely a simple riddle."

When everyone heard Liu Yun say a simple riddle, there was no sign of relaxation on their faces.

Every year, the Chan Bao Pavilion holds a riddle-guessing activity on Lantern Festival. If you can answer the riddles of the Chan Bao Pavilion, you will be able to receive a free hibiscus flower gold ring woven with gold thread using the silk winding craft for free.

Every year, the Treasure Pavilion claims that the riddles they release are simple, but very few people can solve them. Even rookie detectives are stumped.

To such an extent that when Liu Yun said he wanted Qing Xuan to guess a riddle, the crowd not only did not react with relief, but instead looked at Qing Xuan with sympathy.

Lan Yan shook her head slightly upon hearing this.

This Treasure Pavilion seems to be a very hospitable place for guests, but in reality, the twists and turns inside are numerous.

Qingxuan is a new face and has never been to the Treasure Pavilion before.

And they are all old customers.

Liu Yun didn't want to offend old customers, but she wasn't planning on showing the new product to everyone just yet. The only way out was to make the new customer eat the loss.

If I offend the new guest, let him never come again.

Though this new guest is dressed rather well, he doesn't have a single decent hair on his head.

Qingxuan understood very well that she couldn't answer. Not only would it fulfill Liu Yun's wish, but she would also be seen as a fool.

At this time, Lan Yan's gaze swept over Qing Xuan's face with a faint expression, and a trace of sympathy flashed in her eyes.

Qingxuan naturally captured Lan Yan's emotions precisely.

That's it.

Though this blue smoke hails from a noble family, she is a commoner daughter and a concubine in the Minister's household.

Though Lan Yan may seem to be living the high life now, only she knows the hardships she has endured along the way.

This world is inherently a place where the strong prey on the weak. Qingxuan, who once inhabited this body, suffered precisely because she was born out of wedlock. She was constantly scorned by others and lived a wretched life with her mother.

This is also the principle of pressing a soft persimmon with your hands.

Liu Yun saw Qing Xuan had no objections and was even pretending to be calm. She continued, “This riddle is about a certain animal. What animal has four legs in the morning, two legs at noon, and three legs in the evening”

This riddle was obtained from Yun Song the master by the host's inquiry.

This was originally intended to be a riddle for this year's Lantern Festival.

As the chief maidservant, she naturally also knew this riddle.

Liúyún was certain that these women in the courtyard lacked the discernment to solve the riddle. Boldly, without her master's permission, she revealed it to ridicule them.

Liu Yun finished speaking, a mocking sneer flashing in her eyes.

She was already certain that Qingxuan wouldn't be able to answer at all.

The women around heard Liúyún's riddle and all furrowed their brows in contemplation.

They've never seen this kind of animal before!

Lady Liu blurted out, "This isn't an animal at all, it's clearly a monster!"

If this were ordinary circumstances, Madam Liu's careless and impulsive remarks would surely be met with laughter.

But now that everyone is unable to guess the answer to this riddle, they have lost their right to ridicule Madam Liu.

What's more.

Though no one spoke, everyone in their hearts silently agreed with Lady Liu's words.

This is not an animal, it's a monster.

Liúyún thought that as soon as she posed her question, she would see panic and embarrassment in Qīngxuán's eyes.ready red and painful. Now they hurt even more.Ling lowered his gaze and gritted his teeth.This was also the last time she would be with Nan Gong Ye Qing, their intimate moments coming to an end.After...
