“Watch what you say,” Lu Yan coughed and said awkwardly.
Qi Qingyao waved her hand. “They won’t hear us.”
Jiang Yeqian, “…” He could not stop the twitching in the corner of his eye.
Li Ruoxuan, “…” This woman really did not care at all if others could hear her.
Qi Qingyao noticed that the air had suddenly turned quiet. She immediately got up, cupped her hands and said, “Your Excellencies have both come to my mansion today. Your presence really makes me feel like a light has been brought to this mansion and has made it better.”
The two, “…”
Qi Qingyao had called Lu Yan over on the pretense of watching a show but there was naturally none to be seen.
Neither Li Ruoxuan nor Jiang Yeqian spoke, but neither of them had the intention to leave.
This left the side hall with an awkward silence.
After 5 minutes passed.
Steward Zhang entered again. Wiping the sweat on his forehead, he said, “Missus, another person has come.”
“Who is it now?” Qi Qingyao could not help but rub her temples.
No one had come to her residence the past few days, but now they have formed a pile. Just what was going on?
His face flushed with shame, Steward Zhang said, “It’s an old man, he calls himself Gongsun She of Cangjing Lake.”
“F*ck…” Qi Qingyao’s first response was to chase him away, but after thinking about it for a bit, she said, “No, invite him in.” This old man knew her. If she were to chase him away hastily, he might fly into a rage from the humiliation and start openly killing.
After Steward Zhang went and invited the newcomer in, Qi Qingyao, the eternally shameless kiss-up, naturally acted no different this time either. She hurriedly got to her feet and rushed toward both Li Ruoxuan and Jiang Yeqian, nodding and bowing as she said, “Since both your Excellencies are here, please do take care of me if anything were to happen today.”
Both their expressions were solemn. Neither of them paid attention to Qi Qingyao’s clearly hypocritical behavior.
Jiang Yeqian said in a dull voice, “What did Mr. Gongsun come over for now?”
Expression dark, Li Ruoxuan said, “Or, perhaps he had saved his visit for today given we had just recovered from our injuries.”
A shadow fell over Jiang Yeqian’s face as he said, “It could also be that he knows that you’re here and has deliberately rushed over to kill you and throw Northern Liang into chaos.”
Li Ruoxuan, “…”
Their conversation stunned Qi Qingyao. Would the old man really openly kill someone today?
Li Ruoxuan, “Zhu Shen!!”
Jiang Yeqian, “Zhao Xin!”
Both of them then instructed simultaneously, “Quickly transfer all the manpower in the vicinity to guard this house!”
Zhu Shen and Zhao Xin’s expressions were ghastly as they quickly left.
Qi Qingyao stared at the two men who looked as if they were facing a formidable foe. She whispered to Lu Yan, “Is the situation that dire?”
“Yes.”
Lu Yan answered, “If both of them—plus me—were to die here today, then Northern Liang would fall into utter chaos.”
“You?” Why did he include himself?
Lu Yan explained, “I’m the young master of Northern Liang’s number one chamber of commerce. I’m already the person who’s handling most of the Lu family’s property. If I were to die, the Lu family would be in shambles.”
Qi Qingyao finally understood. Curling her lips, she said, “I say, I’ve just collected a few major figures in my house who can determine the future of Northern Liang.”
“…”
Lu Yan nodded seriously at her.
Qi Qingyao silently thought, ‘Why do I feel like a small player in this game? I just got out of a novice village, entered the first town and already met the few biggest powerhouses of the entire area!’
She thought, however, that since the old man was on the lookout for Si Jin, as long as Si Jin did not show up…
He maybe, probably, likely might not kill someone!
After a while, Gongsun She was invited in.
Steward Zhang knew that this person was a grand master and was so nervous that goosebumps appeared all over his body.
