Reborn in the Eighties as a Housewife with a Space

Chapter 1656: Chapter 1650: Xue Ling Peeping

“Xue’er, let’s go back.” Chu Molin took Qin Xue’s hand and quickly descended the mountain.

“Alright.” Qin Xue responded with a smile, feeling truly content.

“Nanny, please pack your things, and leave the village with me tomorrow.” As Qin Xue and the others reached the doorway, they overheard Qing Teng speaking to the nanny.

“Miss, what is this?” The nanny looked at Qing Teng, both surprised and delighted. Was it what she thought it was?

“Nanny, we’ve settled the matters here. Tomorrow, the Holy Maiden and the others will leave, and I’ve stepped down from my role as a guardian. I want to follow the Holy Maiden, and I’m taking you with me. If you don’t wish to leave the village with me, you don’t have to.”

Qing Teng had never mentioned this to the nanny before. In hindsight, she realized she had acted quite decisively without consulting the nanny’s wishes.

“I’m willing, I’m willing. I’ll go pack my things right away. Thank you, Miss, for not disdaining me and being willing to take me along.” The nanny never expected that the young lady would do such a thing for her.

The young lady could have left on her own, but she chose to take her along. The nanny had looked forward to this, and now she would take good care of the young lady. “Madam, rest assured, from now on, the young lady will not be alone under my care.”

“Nanny, it’ll be hard on you to accompany us and endure hardships in the future.” Qin Xue entered with a smile.

“Holy Maiden, what are you saying? It’s not hard at all; I’m grateful you all are taking me along.” In the nanny’s heart, being with the young lady meant happiness. She had no family, nearly forty, and her heart felt unsure. What Qing Teng said resolved her anxieties.

“Alright then, you all go pack quickly. Remember, we leave early in the morning or else won’t be able to leave the mountains before dark.” Qin Xue also instructed Yun and the others.

“Understood, ladies. The food is ready. Have a meal first, and then pack.” Yun and the team had almost finished packing as soon as they heard about leaving the next day.

Despite having stayed here for quite some time, they didn’t have much to pack—just needed to gather their belongings brought with them. So, there was no worry about not finishing in time.

“Okay, where’s Xue Ling?” Qin Xue hadn’t taken Xue Ling up the mountain today, and now she didn’t see it.

“Probably in the room. Haven’t seen it go out today.” Yun thought for a moment and realized it hadn’t been seen outside.

“Alright, I got it. Let’s not bother it then. Everyone, have your meal, and then do what you need to.” Qin Xue pondered briefly and decided not to summon Xue Ling. It was likely cultivating in the room. She’d check on it later. Without food, it would use its space to find its own meal at night. Otherwise, it would become lazy, slowing it down later.

“Master, do you know what I overheard?” As soon as Qin Xue returned to her room, Xue Ling said this to her.

“What?” Qin Xue asked, puzzled.

“Turns out the Third Elder and Fourth Elder are secretly involved with each other. No wonder they’re often inseparable. Luckily, these two don’t have ill intentions. If they did scheme together, things here would be truly chaotic.” Xue Ling relayed to Qin Xue, while listening to distant noises of heavy breathing and roaring.

Those two were having an affair in a cave, yet weren’t afraid of being overheard.

“Xue Ling, you’re still young. Don’t eavesdrop on people’s intimate affairs.” Qin Xue could tell what Xue Ling was doing based on its expression.
