Chapter 254: The Third Crock of Gold 10
Jiang Siting fell silent for a moment before he scratched his head and spoke again.
“Grandfather, Father, do you think that she’ll really move into the house? Somehow I think…it won’t be possible. Heir Pei did not stop her just now and now she’s gone home. He definitely would go to hold her back.”
He could not let her offend Lu Yan!
An ordinary person could not afford to offend the Lu family!
Even Heir Pei of the Dingbei Residence could not afford to offend the Lu family…
Jiang Zhenyuan could not help saying, “Perhaps… that young woman may have some confidence, a confidence to face the Lu family head on which was why she acted recklessly as she did.”
Things were becoming more and more convoluted.
It was starting to irritate them.
Old Master Jiang knocked on the study table and said, “Let’s not talk about her for now. Right now, what clues does the government have on the Lingyun Restaurant massacre last night? ”
Jiang Zhenyuan fell silent for a moment before he said, “It must have been the work of a master-level expert.”
“Are you sure?” Old Master Jiang asked.
Jiang Zhenyuan did not dare confirm it. “Everyone is currently waiting for information from the Zhaixing Administration. The eagles of Zhaixing Administration should be returning from various regions by evening. By then, it should be clear which grand master is in Qingzhou City.”
…
After Qi Qingyao finished her meal, she paced around in the courtyard as she looked at the sky non-stop.
Dark clouds covered the afternoon sky above her head and there was cold, enshrouding mist everywhere. The humidity was very high and it felt as if it was about to rain. Qi Qingyao kept thinking back to the conversation back at the Jiang residence this morning. She thought about everyone’s faces and those who had spoken at the time, as well as the tone of their voices and the look in their eyes!
Jiang Yeqian was standing in front of the window. He opened a crack in the window and observed Qi Qingyao’s expression secretly.
Sometimes, he felt that she was a mindless person but at this moment, it was obvious that she was thinking about something.
Her current appearance was captivating. ‘Ah, that’s not it! Charming…no no, intriguing, right, just intriguing.’
As Qi Qingyao spent half the day alone with her thoughts, Li Qing brought someone with him as he entered through the Chuihua gate. Qi Qingyao raised her head and was met with Dong Jing’s extremely cold gaze. Dong Jing walked over, expression blank, and handed a bundle over to her.
“This is the title deed and key to the house at No. 3, Eighth Street, East District of Qingzhou City. ”
Qi Qingyao took the small bundle and checked it. After confirming that it was indeed the title deed, she nodded in satisfaction.
“The Lu family’s servants, belongings, and luggage have already been moved out.” Dong Jing felt inexplicably depressed for his master when he said this.
Qi Qingyao, “Oh.”
After pondering for a bit, Dong Jing added on his own accord, “Our master has also invited Miss Qi over for a meal in the future.”
“There’s no need for that. We are neither relatives nor friends, so there’s no need for us to be familiar with one another.” Qi Qingyao looked at Dong Jing with a smile and bowed with gratitude.
Dong Jing knew that there was no room for refusal, so he left the house without saying another word.
Heir Pei was sitting inside the room, sipping tea with his legs crossed. He took another look at Qi Qingyao silently through the cracks of the windows.
Qi Qingyao quickly rushed back into the house and patted the little lazy piglets who were still taking a nap.
“My darlings, come, let’s go take a look at our new house.”
They left as they were told, not needing to be nagged.
Jiang Yeqian and Si Jin hurriedly packed their luggage and put on their masks. Jiang Yeqian carried two of the children, Dabao and Erniu, while Si Jin carried Xiaobao. They were also carrying a huge pile of luggage as well as all of Qi Qingyao’s belongings. As for Qi Qingyao, she was only carrying the title deed and the key, looking like a hands-off person in charge.
As the three of them exited through the gate and entered the courtyard, Heir Pei walked out of the house and watched her from afar.
