Chapter 401: The Grand Master Has Arrived 6
After 10 minutes.
Side hall entrance.
Steward Zhang, Jiang Yeqian who was exuding killing intent while still wielding crutches, as well as Zhao Xin bringing up the rear…all walked over.
Steward Zhang reported to Qi Qingyao sheepishly, “Missus, the Head Grand Secretariat forcefully charged his way in. He claims that the one he wants to see is not you but the State Preceptor, and that he has something to discuss with him urgently.”
“…”
Qi Qingyao paused for a second, turning to look at Li Ruoxuan with barely any expression. “It’s your guest.”
Li Ruoxuan said pointedly, “In that case, let’s greet him together and when he’s done talking, I’ll tell you my purpose for coming here today.”
Qi Qingyao, “…” ‘What do you mean to greet him together!!’
Qi Qingyao did not get up at all. After Li Ruoxuan stood up, he cupped his fist in greeting and looked at Jiang Yeqian. As if he was the host, he welcomed Jiang Yeqian, even saying, “Head Grand Secretariat, you’re a rare visitor, please take a seat.”
Jiang Yeqian walked in gripping his crutches. Without reservation, he glanced at Li Ruoxuan and said, “Is this your home? You’re welcoming me so warmly!!”
It was likely that Li Ruoxuan was in a good mood today as he was not upset at all by this. He replied, “Head Grand Secretariat is very up to date on his information. I had just come to the Qi Residence and you’ve followed me here so closely. It would appear that the news reached your ears the moment I left.”
After Jiang Yeqian entered, he looked for a place to sit down without asking anyone. He did not bother to wait for the host to invite him.
Li Ruoxuan saw this, then sat down as well.
Qi Qingyao looked at the pair’s tit for tat attitude and coughed. “You two go ahead and talk, I’m going to take a nap first.”
The moment Jiang Yeqian saw her trying to leave, he immediately spoke up.
“Hold on.”
Qi Qingyao looked up.
Jiang Yeqian said, “What kind of situation is this for the host to leave when their guests are still here?!”
Qi Qingyao threw up her hands exasperatedly. “…” This situation had nothing to do with her though!
Jiang Yeqian looked at Li Ruoxuan seated opposite him and immediately said, “Why did you come here?”
Li Ruoxuan smiled somewhat awkwardly. “I came here to atone for my mistakes.”
“I also came here for that,” Jiang Yeqian said. “I tried to kill Si Jin, now I want to express my apologies to Qi Qingyao.”
Qi Qingyao gave a massive eye roll.
Li Ruoxuan said discourteously, “Shouldn’t you be apologizing to Si Jin for wanting to kill him? Why are you saying sorry to Qi Qingyao?”
Jiang Yeqian said coldly, “She is the master of our young grand master. You have to deal with the owner of the dog you beat up. The target of my apology is, of course, Lady Qi. That said, even if I wanted to apologize to Si Jin, he is not here.
…
Qi Qingyao was sitting in a higher position right now. She quietly coughed again and waved for the servant outside to come in. She whispered to the little maid quietly, “Get Master Lu to come here for tea.”
The little maid nodded and left.
Lu Yan arrived after a moment.
When he entered the place, he saw that Jiang Yeqian and Li Ruoxuan were both present and could not help but raise his brows.
“You’re here.” Qi Qingyao’s mood lightened when she saw Lu Yan walk into the courtyard from afar. She greeted him and said, “Come sit, let’s watch from the sidelines together.”
Lu Yan, “…” Does this look like a time for watching a show?!
He nodded slightly after walking in. “Head Grand Secretariat, State Preceptor, I bid you two well.”
Jiang Yeqian and Li Ruoxuan nodded simultaneously. They did not show much emotion on their faces.
Lu Yan walked to Qi Qingyao’s side. The moment he sat down, Qi Qingyao brought her fruit plate over and immediately put it down on the little table beside Lu Yan. She said excitedly in a soft voice, “Quick, look, the dogs are fighting. Isn’t it so interesting?”
The two, “…!!”
Who was she talking about, eh?!
