Liu Qinghuan is grounded for only a day before she is releasedBut poor Peng Peng is still working hard at the task of counting the lotuses
” Mada to turn into a bloated bun sooner or later, poor thing! ”
” Cough, cough! ”
Liu Qinghuan al when she heard what Qing Zhi just saidCoed into all of it because of her and if he really becomes a bloated bun…She would need to take a bite, hahahahaha
After getting all the laughing out, Liu Qinghuan finally rediscovered her conscience as she gets up from her seat
” Ci Tao Qing Zhi, let’s head to the Lotus Pond for a look”
The overhead sun is really coly, the area around the pond rehuan suddenly think that the reason why Peng Peng is still here ht be because it is a lot cooler here
” 34, 35, 36…”
Looking at Peng Peng counting with single-hearted devotion, Liu Qinghuan is so moved
” Peng Peng, did you really stay in here for 2 days now? ”
She said as she throws a pebble into the pondIt lands with a ‘SPLASH’ and Peng Peng iet fustrated
” Ahhhhhhhhh!!! Which number am I at?! ”
” 21”
” Oooooh, 22, 23…”
Ci Tao Qing Zhi ” ……”
They think that General Peng Peng will go crazy sooner or later
Liu Qinghuan blinks, and throws another pebble, this time at him
” If the Marquise is bent on punishi+ng you, it wouldn’t et the numbers correct, silly”
Peng Peng then look over with his immediate tear-filled face
” Wu u wu la la, I counted 6 ti, recount‘”
Liu Qinghuan looks at him pitifully
” So all this ti in this pond? ”
” Not reallyI sneak out when the Marquise is not around, at night too”
Saying that, he looks guiltyly around the area
” Don’t ever let the Marquise find out”
” How many have you counted? ”
” 51 red lotus, 27 blue, 33 white and 18 yellow”
” Got it, I’ll convey it to the Marquise
on your behalf”
” Ooooooo a friend in need is a friend indeed! Thank you, Wu La La!! ”
Peng Peng isthe fact that this predica onto him

Xue Mu sits in his roo a knock on the door
” Come in”
Liu Qinghuan pushes open the door gently as Xue Mu glances in her direction, sleepiness evident in his eyesIn her hands hold a container filled with soup, as she heads over and sits at his opposite
” Did I disturb your rest? ”
” No worries”
He straightens up, and smiles at her
” Qing Qing is looking for me because…? ”
She opens the container and places it in front of Xue Mu
” The kitchen specially brew soht that the Marquise would like some”
Xue Mu stares at the iced green bean soup before scoping out a spoonful
” Thank you”
” The Marquise don’t have to be this polite to me”
Liu Qinghuan laughs, seeing hiain
” Is it sweet? ”
” Very”
He licks his lips, the corners of it slightly curving up
” As long as the Marquise likes it”
She laughs, before continuing
” Oh yes, I was just by the Lotus Pond and Peng Peng wanted me to tell the Marquise that there are 51 red lotus, 27 blue lotus, 33 white lotus and 18 yellow lotus”
” Is that so? ”
Xue Mu chuckles before looking at her
” You can tell hiain”
” Understood”
Liu Qinghuan relaxsLook like the Marquise is not out for his life yetAfter chatting with Xue Mu for a while, Liu Qinghuan takes her leaveSeeing Liu Qinghuan walking out of the Lotus Cha waves wildly at her
” Wu la la, how is it? ”
” The Marquise allows you to come out”
The happiness he felt is but a fleeting loohuan curiously asked
” Why this face? ”
Peng Peng sniffs as he looks sadly at her
” That’s the number I told him the very 1st time
”
Liu Qinghuan ” ……”
” You ly”
This is the only consolation she can think of

” Zhou Jing Jing is unable to find Du Juan, so he insisted that it was the Beseeching Fire Cult who stole his painting and has been causing trouble at their temple for days now”
Looking at the newly trained soldiers in front of him, Xue Mu smiles
