Old Master Xia's expression darkened and he looked at her with malice in his eyes.
Xia Muqing sat back down and continued cooking the grilled fish.
Old Master Xia took two steps forward when he remembered what happened to the guards earlier on. He froze on the spot.
He flicked his sleeves and left.
Once he left, the black eagle scurried out from the darkness and stood guard beside the grill, staring at the fish on it.
Xia Muqing tapped and chided it with a chuckle. "You're useless."
While they were having fun, Old Master Xia wasn't in a good mood.
He marched towards Ruan Yu's courtyard.
When Ruan Yu heard that the old master had arrived, she was so surprised that she instructed a maid to help her to doll herself up.
Scrutinizing her reflection in the mirror, she frowned and asked, "Xiaotao, I think there are more wrinkles around my eyes recently."
