After she became a county magistrate, she took the ghost to investigate the case

Chapter 113 Jealous

Just when Xu Yingying put all the things on the ground and was about to go out to look for mugwort, she suddenly remembered that there was not only herself in that room, but also Li Siqi.

In other words, Li Siqi's clothes also needed to be fumigated. Xu Yingying thought of taking Li Siqi's clothes and fumigating them together with hers.

Thinking of this, Xu Yingying walked towards the warehouse, where there was mugwort stored. After taking enough mugwort for her own use, Xu Yingying asked the servants to deliver the mugwort to her bedroom, and then went to the study to find Li Siqi.

At this time, Li Siqi was in the study discussing with his subordinates how to return to the capital openly.

As he was speaking, the secret guard walked in, "Your Highness, County Magistrate Xu is here."

Hearing this, Li Siqi raised his eyebrows and said, "I understand. Let's all go down first."

Soon, Li Siqi was the only one left in the study. Originally, there was nothing to hide from Xu Yingying, but for some reason, Li Siqi didn't want other people to be present.

After everyone left, he felt a little uncomfortable. When he wanted someone to come in again, Xu Yingying knocked on the study door.

"Come in." Li Siqi cleared his throat and shouted.

Xu Yingying pushed the door open and walked in. When she saw that Li Siqi was the only one in the room, she was slightly stunned.

"Why is Your Highness alone?" Xu Yingying blurted out without thinking.

"Hmm?" Li Siqi was a little confused by Xu Yingying's question.

Only then did Xu Yingying realize what a stupid question she had asked. Her face suddenly turned red, and she was so embarrassed that she could dig out a three-bedroom apartment on the ground with her toes.

She cleared her throat, trying to ease the awkwardness, "Um...um, well, I came to ask you for something, and I thought I'd come back later if you had anything else to do."

"What do you want?" Li Siqi was a little curious about what could make Xu Yingying so embarrassed.

Xu Yingying hesitated for a long time, then gave in and said, "Of course it's the clothes you wore today..." Xu Yingying repeated what the old doctor said to Li Siqi.

After hearing this, Li Siqi's face darkened for a moment, "This Zhang Xiaohan is really cunning, using such a despicable thing."

"We don't know much about things in the Western Regions, so there's nothing wrong with that. We just need to learn our lesson this time and try not to fall into the same trap next time," Xu Yingying comforted.

"So I need to take your things to be fumigated. To be on the safe side, you can also light some mugwort to disinfect the room." Xu Yingying gestured to Li Siqi to hand the clothes to her.

Seeing Xu Yingying asking for her clothes without any hesitation, Li Siqi's ears instantly turned red, "Then wait a moment, I'll go change my clothes."

After saying that, Li Siqi went to the inner room of the study. Fortunately, there was always a set of clothes prepared in there, so Li Siqi didn't feel too embarrassed.

When he came out again, his black hair was loose, covering his slightly red ears. After handing the things to Xu Yingying, Xu Yingying turned around and left without any reluctance.

After returning to the bedroom, Xu Yingying began to organize her clothes as usual, preparing to sort them into categories, but unexpectedly she found a red mark on the collar of Li Siqi's coat.

She subconsciously looked at it carefully, but she didn't expect that it was actually the shape of a woman's lips.

It looked like it was a mark left by lip balm. Li Siqi and Xu Yingying had been together today, and they had only gone to Yihong Courtyard. Thinking of the moment when she approached Li Siqi in Zhang Xiaohan's room, Xu Yingying was certain that this mark was secretly left by Zhang Xiaohan when Li Siqi was not paying attention.

Xu Yingying's face changed instantly. She didn't know why, but she always felt something blocked in her heart and felt very uncomfortable. When she thought it was because of Li Siqi, Xu Yingying cursed him in her heart.

Li Siqi, who was handling affairs in the study, sneezed several times for no apparent reason.

Camellia, who was watching the show on the side, was so happy to see Xu Yingying's face like a color palette that she suddenly wanted to tease her.

"Oh, what is this? A lip stain?" Camellia moved closer to Xu Yingying, looked at the clothes in Xu Yingying's hands that were almost twisted out of shape by her, and said jokingly.

Xu Yingying finally reacted, loosened her hand, and said unhappily, "Can't you see it? There's such an obvious mark, are you asking questions even though you already know the answer?" Xu Yingying glanced at Camellia.

Camellia chuckled, "This doesn't look like your clothes, it should be Li Siqi's, oh, that's strange, Li Siqi has always been very nice to you, how could there be lip balm marks from another girl on your clothes?"

It would have been fine if Camellia hadn't said anything, but as soon as she said that, Xu Yingying got even angrier. She threw the things aside casually and didn't even bother to smoke the food anymore. She just sulked.

Camellia followed Xu Yingying closely, "What's wrong? Are you angry? Jealous? This mark shouldn't be left on purpose, Li Siqi is a very self-disciplined person."

"Why should I be angry? Why should I be jealous? Why should I do that? He is the ninth prince and there are so many women around him. How could it be my turn?" Xu Yingying became even more depressed.

"Oh, what are you talking about? Although you are a man in front of him now, he treats you differently. Look at the other secret guards and bodyguards around him. They are not the same as you, don't you think?" Camellia didn't know whether she was comforting someone or adding fuel to the fire.

Xu Yingying only felt that the fire in her heart was burning more and more vigorously.

She waved her hand in her ear and said, "Come on, stop talking. The more you talk, the angrier I get. We haven't done our work yet, so don't mess with us."

Xu Yingying now realized that Camellia just wanted to watch the fun and didn't mind making trouble.

She resigned herself to her fate and spread out the clothes and mattresses one by one, took the burning mugwort, and used the smoke to fumigate the clothes until they were filled with the scent of mugwort. Xu Yingying then put the mugwort aside, added some other mugwort and herbs, and disinfected the entire room to get rid of the smell, for fear that there were any remnants of the drug.

However, while Xu Yingying was burning the mugwort, her eyes unconsciously looked at the collar stained with red marks. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She was here helping him clear the drug, but he was still attracting other women from there.

The more she thought about it, the more upset she felt. She was so careless that she almost burned a hole in Li Siqi's clothes.

Xu Yingying no longer had any thoughts in her mind. Seeing that the effect of the drugs had almost worn off, she simply threw her clothes aside and ran to the bed in a depressed mood.

Lying on the bed, Xu Yingying tossed and turned, and somehow, she fell asleep.

Seeing Xu Yingying fall asleep, a sly smile appeared on Chahua's face. Not knowing what bad idea she had, she walked towards the clothes in the corner.

If there was someone in the room, they would have seen the clothes disappear in the blink of an eye, without a trace.
