Chapter 381: The Crowd Panics 6

Li Ruoxuan looked at Jiang Yeqians poker face and deliberately commented, Why do I feel like your words are coming from a place of anger?

Am I? Jiang Yeqian changed his expression when he noticed Li Ruoxuans ambiguous tone. There was a deep serenity residing in the bottom of his eyes that no wind could s.h.i.+ft. With cool eyes, he murmured, If a single mother manages to be liked by someone, shouldnt she get married to them right away?

After a pause, he continue, After all, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Li Ruoxuan raised his brows. His eyes were cold as he said, Indeed, she should get married.

Qi Qingyao was thinking about the fight between the two grand masters today, the battle on the surface of Qingyang Lake, and the fact that Mo Yang looked like her. All of these matters swirled around in her head, making it ache. When she overheard the stormy conversation between the State Preceptor and the Head Grand Secretariat, she rolled her eyes and muttered, Two lunatics.

Li Ruoxuan,

Jiang Yeqian,

Jiang Yeqian was somewhat used to Qi Qingyaos loose tongue already.

Li Ruoxuan was not, though.

As the State Preceptor, he was seldom defied by his subordinates, let alone being called a lunatic by this woman.

She really thought he would not dare to strangle her to death.

Perhaps she knew.

She just did not care.

Before Qi Qingyao walked past Chuihua Gate, she casually commented, I can hear your brain rattling around in there.

Just after she walked past the gate, when Li Ruoxuan was already so speechless he was at a complete loss for what to do, Qi Qingyao stuck her head back out and said, Oh, thats right, the two grand masters treat this place like its a no mans land. Its probably pointless for me to continue staying here as a hostage, so Im taking the children home in the afternoon.

Arent you afraid of being taken away? Li Ruoxuan sneered.

I got away this time, and Ill do the same next time. Qi Qingyao shrugged and said offhandedly, I have a trump card in my hand. The two grand masters wont kill me, so rest a.s.sured, State Preceptor.

Then, she went back to pack her belongings.

Jiang Yeqian retracted his gaze and returned to his room in much annoyance.

Li Ruoxuan stood in the sun and pondered. Why didnt I know that she had a trump card?

Zhu Shen thought for a while before he stepped forward and whispered, It seems like Mr. Pang from Daliang City wants to take her daughter in as an apprentice, which made the old Mr. Gongsun by the Cangjing Lake also want to take her daughter in as an apprentice. Thats probably Lady Qis trump card.

Li Ruoxuans heart rattled for a moment. Her daughter has the apt.i.tude to be a pract.i.tioner?

Yes, Master. Zhu Shen lowered his eyes, licked his dry lips, and quietly said, A very, very high apt.i.tude.

Li Ruoxuan was silent for a long while.

Im suddenly impressed by her now.

Spreading his hands, he said to himself in an almost undetectable voice, A young grand master who seems to be a genius was her companion. Her daughter is a genius too. She personally knows Master Architect Li Qinglian and Divine Physician Su Hexiao Im extremely curious about her now.

She was a mystery.

Li Ruoxuan stood in the sun silently for a long time, so long that Zhu Shen thought that the State Preceptor had fallen asleep. Li Ruoxuan suddenly looked up, and his gentle and clear face was sinister and ruthless.

Then, he instructed, Zhu Shen, go to Zhaixing Administration and buy a piece of information.

Information on who? Zhu Shen asked.

Mo Yang. Li Ruoxuan said.

Zhu Shen turned around and left.

After Qi Qingyao finished packing her belongings, she walked out with the three children.

She did not encounter any obstacles on the way to the gate.

There was even a carriage waiting at the gate for her.

Qi Qingyao asked about it.

It turned out that Li Ruoxuan had asked someone to prepare it for her.

She then sat in the carriage and returned to the Qi Residence.

Zhu Shen only came back after she left.

When he learned that Qi Qingyao had left, he knew that his master must have let go of her, so he did not care. He walked into the room and handed Mo Yangs information to Li Ruoxuan.

Li Ruoxuan looked at it.

Zhu Shen stood beside him and explained, His mother was named Yingying, surname Shan. She was a girl Mo Wenshu met when he was sent to Dazhou as an envoy. Her background is unknown. Later down the line, she married Mo Wenshu and gave birth to Mo Yang despite Grand Preceptor Mos objection. She was Mo Wenshus only love, and he never took in any concubine. Shan Yingying died of illness when Mo Yang was nine. He thought that his master was interested in Mo Yangs background, especially the part about his mother

After Li Ruoxuan finished reading it, he pondered for a moment before he said, Go buy another piece of information.

Master, whose this time? Zhu Shen asked.

Shan Yingying. Li Ruoxuan said.

Zhu Shen,

He froze for a moment.

He thought about it.

Did Master suspect that Qi Qingyao was not her parents biological child?

If so

Master, if you suspect that Qi Qingyao is not the biological child of the Qi family, we can start from the Qi family and just catch her father or mother for questioning. After some severe torture, therell be an immediate verdict as to whether Qi Qingyao is their biological child or not.

Why go through so much trouble to investigate her through Shan Yingying?

Zhu Shens words made sense. If he had been speaking to the past Li Ruoxuan, he would surely have started with Qi Qingyaos family first.

However he had killed Qi Qingyaos elder sister Qi Qingzhu, which had offended Qi Qingyao and the young grand master.

Li Ruoxuan did not want to use cruel methods to get results anymore.

Whether it was because of Si Jin, or something else

If I ask you to look into something, just look into it! Li Ruoxuan said impatiently.

Yes!

Zhu Shen left hurriedly.
