Snatching Women from the Male Lead

Chapter 101

Yu Qingzhu was infected by Qin Zhao's laughter and also laughed, saying, "Don't be afraid, they are hot spring fish helping you exfoliate your dead skin."

Qin Zhao laughed for a while before finally getting used to the hot spring fish's work.

Her hair floated next to Yu Qingzhu's hand, touching it lightly.

Yu Qingzhu said, "Your hair is really good."

Qin Zhao replied, "Thanks to my mother for giving birth to me this way."

After half a time period, the two got up and dried their bodies separately, put on apprentice robes.

After their hair was completely dry and tied up, they came to Feng Tinghe.

Qin Zhao bowed to Feng Tinghe and said, "Disciple pays respect to Master."

Yu Qingzhu handed a cup of light tea to Qin Zhao. Qin Zhao bowed again and said, "Disciple serves tea to Master."

Feng Tinghe took it and sipped lightly, "From now on, you are my exclusive disciple of Feng Tinghe."

"Thank you, Master."

"Get along well with senior sister, you two are the future of No Illness Hall."

"Disciple will abide by Master's teaching."

"Rise, from now on you have to come to No Illness Hall at least twice a month, remember?"

"Disciple remembers."

After the apprenticeship ceremony ended, Yu Qingzhu sent Qin Zhao out the door.

At the door, Qin Zhao said, "Senior sister, see you next time."

Yu Qingzhu nodded, "If you are uncomfortable calling me senior sister, you can also call me by my name, no need to be restrained by etiquette."

"Okay, Yu Qingzhu, goodbye."

Yu Qingzhu was very unfamiliar with this term, but the meaning was simple, so she quickly understood and accepted it, replying, "Goodbye."

Returning to Princess Manor, Qin Zhao rushed to Qi Yan Su Luo's room and saw her packing up her luggage!

Qin Zhao stopped her and said, "What are you doing? Living well, why do you want to leave?"

Qi Yan Su Luo's eyes narrowed slightly and said, "I haven't said I want to leave, how can you conclude that I'm leaving?"

Qin Zhao said, "Anyone who sees your behavior will think you are about to leave."

Qi Yan Su Luo said decisively, "No, it could also mean tidying up belongings. You would say this because that is your true thinking!"

Qin Zhao retreated a few steps, murmuring, "That's not true, I hope you stay."

"If you really don't want me to leave, you wouldn't have allowed rumors to spread in the manor."

Qin Zhao's heart skipped a beat, thinking to herself: She's guessed it all.

502 was shocked with his nonexistent mouth wide open, "Host, you really think so?! Seeing your expression, I thought she had misunderstood you."

"Of course she didn't misunderstand me. I said I wanted to make her pay for her mistakes, it wasn't just talk."

But she could only say this in her heart, and couldn't reveal it outwardly.

Seeing Qi Yan Su Luo's expression become cold, Qin Zhao said, "Princess Manor is not a place you can come and go as you wish!"

Qi Yan Su Luo didn't bring much with her, just a small package. After tying up the strap, she stood upright.

She moved close to Qin Zhao and hugged her tightly, saying, "Now you're acting all high and mighty like a princess, but last night when you were begging me for more, you weren't like this! What, won't let me leave, want me to pay you for patronage?"

This sounded familiar, and Qin Zhao's mind went blank for a moment, but she couldn't remember where she had heard it.

Qin Zhao pushed Qi Yan Su Luo away, "If you want to leave, I won't stop you, go ahead. But remember, you're mine!"

After Qi Yan Su Luo left, the rumors within the manor gradually subsided, and the rumors among the common people also gradually disappeared without a trace for some reason.

Qin Zhao went back and forth between Princess Manor and No Illness Hall every day, and successfully obtained Feng Tinghe's Face Staying Secret Art!

After that, she reduced the frequency of going to No Illness Hall, and instead focused on Mo Qianqiu.

"Your Highness?" Mo Qianqiu waved her hand in front of Qin Zhao's eyes, "Is Your Highness lost in thought?"

Qin Zhao came back to her senses, "Maybe I didn't sleep well last night."

Mo Qianqiu laughed, "I feel like Your Highness is in better spirits than before, the dark circles under your eyes are gone too. Most importantly, no more yawning."

Qin Zhao said, "Perhaps the physical fatigue is gone, but the mental fatigue is only getting worse."

"Your Highness, please tell me what's going on, I'm willing to share your burden."

Qin Zhao shook her head, "No need, I'll be fine in a few days."

Why did she feel so empty inside even though Qi Yan Su Luo's departure was within her plan?

502 said, "Host, could it be you've fallen for the female lead?"

Qin Zhao denied it, "That's too fast, impossible. I won't be seduced by her beauty, maybe it's separation anxiety or something."

502 said, "Don't fool yourself, host. Falling for an ordinary person may require many reasons. But for a top beauty, just looking at her a few more times is enough."

"You're quite knowledgeable."

"AI can also learn and grow."

Qin Zhao watched as Mo Qianqiu painted eyes on the wooden eagle, and after a few breaths it flew away from her hand!

Looking at the eagle flying far away, Mo Qianqiu was so moved that tears streamed down her face. She said, "Your Highness, this is already the seventeenth wooden eagle I've made. No matter how many times I fail, as long as there's a possibility of success, I can persevere!"

Qin Zhao was also happy for Mo Qianqiu, "Heaven rewards diligence, I believe you will definitely become the best carpenter in the world."

"Thank you for praising me, Your Highness."

Qin Zhao waited for Mo Qianqiu's mood to stabilize, then said, "I have an important matter to entrust you with."

Mo Qianqiu said, "Please tell me, Your Highness."

"Wait a moment."

Qin Zhao went to her own study, took out the part of Lu Ban's Manual that she had copied, which contained illustrations of the heavenly horse, flying boat, dragon and wooden soldiers.

She returned to Mo Qianqiu's yard.

Qin Zhao handed a pile of rice paper to Mo Qianqiu and said, "See if you can make these wooden devices."

Mo Qianqiu took it curiously, glanced at it, and her just calmed emotions instantly became turbulent!

She stared at the content on the rice paper, shaking all over, breaking out in cold sweat on her back and forehead.

Unable to conceal her excitement, she asked, "Your Highness, which great master did these blueprints come from? Can you take me to see him?"

Qin Zhao said, "He's already dead, these were possibly passed down by his descendants, and coincidentally collected by me."

Mo Qianqiu said, "The content of the blueprints has answered many problems I've encountered over the years making wooden devices! It enlightened me tremendously.

I suddenly believe that I can make wooden flying devices bigger than what my father made!"

She knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Qin Zhao, "Thank you so much Your Highness for showing me such valuable blueprints. Your Highness's kindness, I will never forget for the rest of my life!"

Qin Zhao helped Mo Qianqiu up, "Don't thank me, I didn't draw these. You should thank me if you can make the wooden devices on it."

Mo Qianqiu nodded eagerly, "Your Highness please rest assured, I will do my best to bring these magnificent wooden devices back to life!"

Seeing Ling Long walking over from afar, Qin Zhao said, "Very good, do your own research, I'm going to arrange other things first."

"Here you go."

As Qin Zhao walked out of the yard, Ling Long hurried over to Qin Zhao and respectfully said, "Your Highness, a girl named Tan Lang said she wants to see you and is waiting outside Princess Manor."

Qin Zhao said, "Have her come to the main hall to see me."
