Chapter 1262: Chapter 1262 Qingyuo Pavilion

"Yes."

Zi Xia knew the young lady had just gone through a crisis and must be very fatigued, so she didn’t have the heart to disturb her. She quietly retreated to the outside and kept watch at the door.

Situ Yongjie, accompanied by the guards, returned excitedly and arrived at Qingyuo Pavilion.

Seeing the situation, Zi Xia stepped forward to stop him and cautiously said, "General, the young lady is very tired and is resting!"

"Oh! I see, let her rest for a while. From last night until now, she must have been pretty startled." Situ Yongjie felt very distressed; this daughter’s life was really unfortunate. She had wandered among the common folk since she was a child and endured much hardship. After finally returning to the Capital, she was kidnapped. He had tried hard to conceal this matter, yet somehow, the news spread throughout the entire city. Because of this event, Situtu Xueer’s reputation was surely damaged. No, he must investigate who was behind this.

"Alright, let her rest for a while then. I have some matters to attend to."

"Yes."

Situ Yongjie turned and took a couple of steps but then remembered something and turned back: "Didn’t you say Xuexue brought back a corpse? Where is it?"

"Reporting to the General, it’s in the backyard!"

"Do you know who it is?"

"Someone recognized him; it seems to be a criminal the Prime Minister has long wanted to catch."

"Oh, wasn’t that person highly skilled in martial arts? Who killed him?"

"This maid isn’t certain. It’s best for the General to ask the young lady when she wakes up."

"Hmm, you’re right."

Considering that Situtu Xueer had just returned from a crisis and was still shaken, Situ Yongjie didn’t have the heart to wake her, so he left Qingyuo Pavilion with his guards.

Situ Yongjie didn’t know why the dwarf wanted to capture Xuexue, but considering he was the Prime Minister’s sworn enemy for killing his son, he had the dwarf’s corpse sent to the Prime Minister’s Mansion.

In gratitude for Situ Yongjie delivering his son’s murderer’s corpse to his residence, the Prime Minister specifically sent many Rare Treasures as a token of appreciation.

Qingyuo Pavilion.

As soon as the door closed, Xiao Taohong and Little Tiger floated out from the space.

"Master."

Xiao Taohong jumped out, hugged Situtu Xueer, and cried loudly, "It’s so great that you’re okay, we were worried sick. Because the bracelet suddenly changed hands, we got stuck inside and couldn’t get out."

While speaking, she vigorously wiped her tears and snot onto Xuexue.

It was disgusting.

Although Xiao Taohong was a ghost, and those things were all illusory, seeing them still made Xuexue feel pretty disgusted.

"Alright, alright, I’m the one who got kidnapped and didn’t cry, why are you crying?"

She spoke while pushing her away with some disdain.

"Master, you despise me."

"No, do I?"

"Yes, you do."

"No."

Even if there was, she couldn’t admit it in front of this little ghost. This little ghost was so petty! If she found out, who knows how long she would hold a grudge.

"But why did you push me away?" Xiao Taohong said with her lips pouting, tears welling up.

In a moment of desperation, Xuexue pulled over Little Tiger and hugged him tightly, "Haven’t seen you all day, missed Little Tiger a lot."

Who knew Little Tiger would struggle out of her embrace without any face, saying with great disdain, "Go away, men and women shouldn’t touch; don’t hug me indiscriminately."

With her hands suddenly empty, Xuexue awkwardly laughed dryly, "Anyway, you’re not of age yet; what’s the harm in a hug?"

"Who said I haven’t come of age? Master has lived for over a Thousand Years, alright?"

"Haha, right, right, with your appearance like a child, who could remember?" This Little Tiger really wasn’t cute at all, even in front of Xiao Taohong, he wouldn’t give her a bit of face and play along, seriously.
