Jiang Yeqian continued, “There were many people on the streets at noon. We didn’t return to his residence in secrecy either. Those powerful people were definitely watching us. So, those people who had come to visit with gifts the moment we passed through the gates must have been prepared in advance.”
Si Jin’s eyes widened as he listened to Jiang Yeqian’s analysis.
Qi Qingyao asked as she held back her jaw from dropping in astonishment, “Why didn’t they visit him in Baishui Town before this?”
“Many people knew Heir Pei lived in the mansion in Baishui Town, but they also knew that Heir Pei was on the brink of death, so of course no one bothered with him. During this time, despite the news that he had been cured of the poison he had consumed by a miraculous physician, everyone still did not dare to disturb him,” he said very calmly.
“You still haven’t said why they didn’t dare visit him.” Qi Qinyao pressed on.
Jiang Yeqian replied with half a smile, “They all knew that Heir Pei was resting there quietly.. If he didn’t leave the mansion, it meant that he hadn’t recovered. So, they waited for him to come to Qingzhou City. Him being able to come to Qingzhou City meant that Heir Pei has recovered.”
“But Lu Yan dared to visit him though?” ‘What right did he have?’
Jiang Yeqian simply summarized, “Of course, the young master of the Senluo Chamber of Commerce is a little more privileged.”
Qi Qingyao held the crack of the door open. After watching for a while, the maid brought over the food. Qi Qingyao took the food and had the maid leave without letting her into the room. She brought the food to the dining table and the children rushed over when they caught a whiff of the scent of the food.
After they finished their meal, Qi Qingyao observed for another hour. When the sky was getting dark, she found that the number of people outside had gradually reduced.
Qi Qingyao stroked her chin and said, “Looks like the Marquis has plenty of connections in the imperial court.”
Jiang Yeqian responded indifferently, “The Marquis of the North is gentle and humble. He has some influence in the imperial court, but it’s so-so…”
“You know about that too?” Qi Qingyao really wanted to kneel down for the boss now.
Jiang Yeqian noticed that he had made a slight faux pas, but looked very calm. He continued unhurriedly, “You can learn this after asking around a little. They’re not secrets.”
Qi Qingyao, “Oh.”
Si Jin also took a peek out the crack of the door for a bit and saw that Heir Pei was heading toward their room. He immediately put on his mask. Seeing this, Jiang Yeqian also quickly put on his.
When Heir Pei walked over, he knocked on the door politely.
After he was let in, he sat down at the small round table and ate a snack from the tea tray. He sighed. “Everyone came over as soon as I returned to Qingzhou City. It’s really annoying.”
“It’s annoying indeed,” Qi Qingyao said as she poured Heir Pei a cup of tea that had been over-brewed to the point of being tasteless. She continued smoothly, “Sometimes you have to make compromises. Just bear with it.”
“You have quite a way with words.” Heir Pei had practically “traveled” for hours, but these old folks came over to visit without even waiting for him to rest, which exhausted him physically and mentally. He came here because he wanted to ask her how the meal was and give proper care for his guests. Who would have thought that he could not help but let out a complaint the moment he entered the room. Of course, he did not expect to receive a response to his complaint but she had chosen to respond honestly, making Pei Fengtang a little unsure of how to react. The annoyance in him had also slightly subsided.
“Of course, you have to say something appropriate since you live in the Heir’s residence.”
Qi Qingyao’s reply was noncommittal. “But I will pay for my stay later according to the rooming rates of an inn. I can afford it.”
Heir Pei was taken aback. “I didn’t ask for your money.”
Qi Qingyao shrugged and casually replied, “You don’t want it, but I want to give it to you. This way, I won’t be indebted to you.”
Heir Pei, “…”
Heir Pei had thought that she loved money when she treated him since she kept talking about her bread and butter. Yet, now she said she did not want to be indebted to him. He did not understand, did she love money or not?
