What Are You Up to This Time, Qian Daoliu?!

Le Ling refused to go to Worship Hall to check on Qian Daoliu, leaving Maid A Jian pacing anxiously outside the bathing room!

Just now, Steward Yao had repeatedly stressed that she absolutely had to get Miss Le Ling to make a trip to Worship Hall.

Now, she could not complete the task he had given her.

It was over!

What was she supposed to do?!

At that moment, Steward Yao, who had been waiting in the corridor outside the room, saw that Miss Le Ling and the maid had yet to come out. Growing anxious, he hurried into the room.

"A Jian, did you tell Miss Le Ling?"

He beckoned to the maid pacing outside the bathing room.

When A Jian saw the steward, she immediately walked over and said awkwardly, "Little Le Sister refuses to go! She even said... she said..."

"What else did Miss Le Ling say?"

"Spit it out!"

Seeing that the maid had been talking for ages without getting to the point, Steward Yao became even more anxious!

A Jian gritted her teeth, shut her eyes, and gathered her courage. "Little Le Sister said that if Qian Daoliu really is drunk, Steward Yao should get a bucket of ice water and let Qian Daoliu... mmph..."

Steward Yao rushed forward in alarm and clapped a hand over the maid's mouth!

"Oh, heavens!"

"You silly girl, even if you're repeating Miss Le Ling's exact words, you can't just say my lord's name out loud!"

Steward Yao scolded, "Miss Le Ling may say my lord's name, but we cannot, understand?!"

With her mouth covered, the maid nodded silently.

Just then, Le Ling happened to emerge from the bathing room after finishing her bath.

Seeing Steward Yao with one hand on A Jian's shoulder and the other covering her mouth, she raised a brow slightly.

"What are you two... doing?"

Only then did Steward Yao realize his actions were inappropriate, and he immediately released A Jian.

"N-Nothing!"

Looking guilty, he quickly walked over to Le Ling.

"Miss Le Ling, our lord and the Six Offerings today..."

"You don't need to say any more. I'm not going!"

Before Steward Yao could finish, Le Ling cut him off directly.

"Never mind whether he's actually drunk. Even if he really is, doesn't he have six brothers? Let them take turns looking after him!"

"But the Six Offerings are all men. Naturally, they can't take care of him as well as you can, Miss Le Ling!"

Steward Yao argued his case.

As Le Ling dried her slightly damp hair with a towel, she sat down on the sofa. "If men can't take care of him properly, then send maids over."

With that, she looked at the maid standing by the door.

"A Jian, go take care of him in my place."

"Ah!"

After thinking for a moment, A Jian simply lied, "That won't work. While you were bathing, I already went over there. Besides me, several other maids were all driven out by Great Offering."

Upon hearing the maid's words, Steward Yao secretly gave her a thumbs-up.

That was a good lie!

He immediately picked up where A Jian left off and continued making things up. "Yes, Miss Le Ling. At first, I thought that since the Six Offerings are all men, they certainly wouldn't be attentive enough, so I sent maids over."

"But they were all driven out. Then, while my lord was still drunk and unconscious, he kept calling your name. That was why Second Worship told me to come find you!"

"Miss Le Ling, please, just help us servants out. We truly can't handle our drunk lord. And if we don't do it well, I, as steward, will be punished by the Six Offerings too!"

Steward Yao looked at Le Ling with a pitiful expression.

Seeing how sincere he sounded, Le Ling felt that it did not seem like he was lying.

Moreover, she recalled how Steward Yao had not punished her, when she was still a maid, after she beat Foreman Yu that day.

She did not really believe that Qian Daoliu was drunk, but it was certainly possible that he was a little tipsy!

Well, well, Qian Daoliu!

This Princess wanted to see what tricks you were up to this time!!

"Let's go."

Le Ling tossed aside the towel in her hand, walked out of the room, and headed toward Worship Hall.

Behind her, Steward Yao and A Jian exchanged glances, smiled slyly, and hurried after her.

Worship Hall, dining room.

The drunken Qian Daoliu had already collapsed onto the dining table. Several maids and servants stood nearby, while the Six Offerings sat on either side.

None of them went over to tend to Qian Daoliu, yet none of them left either.

It seemed they were waiting for something!

Suddenly, Steward Yao's voice sounded from outside the dining room.

"Miss Le Ling, my lord is still in the dining room. Please come with me."

Hearing the steward address her as Miss Le Ling, the Six Offerings, who had been waiting inside the dining room, immediately turned excitedly toward the door.

Before long, a woman entered from outside. Her red lips curled slightly, her beautiful eyes were lively and alluring. She looked about eighteen, and she carried an innate air of nobility.

After entering the dining room, Le Ling suddenly found six pairs of eyes staring straight at her.

Her brows drew together slightly.

At that moment, Guang Ling, who had met her once before, took the initiative to speak. "Little Le Ling, Eldest Brother is drunk and has been calling your name. Go check on him quickly."

"Who gave you permission to call me Little Le Ling?"

Hearing that diminutive "little," Le Ling cast Guang Ling a fearless sideways glance and questioned him unhappily.

The last time this Fifth Offering had been in her room, he had called her Little Le Ling too. She had already been somewhat annoyed then, and now he was saying it again!

Le Ling was, after all, the Princess of the Five Elements Continent. Naturally, she had some pride of her own!

Hearing her question Fifth Brother like that, the other five Offerings raised their brows slightly.

As expected of a princess, Miss Le Ling had courage and presence!

No wonder their Eldest Brother loved her so much!!

Guang Ling was prideful too. Being questioned like that naturally displeased him, but before he could speak, Azure Luan beside him had already held him back.

"Fifth Brother!"

Azure Luan shook his head at him.

Then, he smiled faintly at Le Ling. "Sister-in-law, our Fifth Brother is immature. Please don't hold it against him."

At the words "Sister-in-law," Le Ling immediately bristled.

"Third Offering, don't shout nonsense. I have nothing to do with your Eldest Brother now!!"

When she and Qian Daoliu had searched for spirit beasts in the forest before, Qian Daoliu had told her about his six brothers.

He had roughly described each of their appearances and personalities, so Le Ling could more or less guess who the six people before her were.

"Sister-in-law, please go check on our Eldest Brother first."

Azure Luan did not care whether she acknowledged the title of Sister-in-law. As long as their Eldest Brother acknowledged it, that was enough.

So he did not change the way he addressed her and continued calling her that.

Le Ling knew Qian Daoliu must have told his brothers to call her that, so there was no use arguing with this Third Offering!

These six only listened to Qian Daoliu.

Fuming, she walked toward the man slumped over the dining table.

"Qian Daoliu, when did I ever allow you to have your brothers call me that?!"

The moment Le Ling finished speaking, Qian Daoliu suddenly raised his head, sprang to his feet, pulled her over in one swift motion, and leaned his entire body against hers.

"Ling'er, you're here!"

"I'm drunk. My head is spinning. Will you take care of me?"

Le Ling immediately bristled again.

"Qian Daoliu!! Keep pretending!!!"
