Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The news that the State Preceptor had proposed to Qi Qingyao spread like wildfire in Qingzhou and naturally, it reached the ears of Ling Luoyan who joined the auction the other day.
Her maid Cuiping shared the news with Ling Luoyan.
“Miss, the news outside says that the State Preceptor went to the Qi Residence and proposed to Qi Qingyao.’
“Hold on, I’m a little confused.” Ling Luoyan put down the confectionery in her hands when she heard this. She felt confused. “The State Preceptor has always been looking for trouble with Lu Yan, even kissing that little maid of his. I offered him a hundred thousand taels yet Lu Yan was unwilling to sell the little maid to me. Now, that important man from the capital turned around but proposed to Qi Qingyao? This means…”.
“??” Meant what? Cuiping eyes widened with curiosity.
Ling Luoyan was sure of it. “That little maid was Qi Qingyao.”
“How is that possible!” Cuiping gasped in surprise. She felt her lady’s words were too nonsensical—why would Qi Qingyao dress up as a maid for no reason? No one even questioned about it when she attended the auction so openly.
“Cuiping, that’s why I say you don’t use your head.” Ling Luoyan shook her head and then began eating the confectioneries. She said, “I didn’t think it was possible either. If she were an ordinary maid, there would be no reason for Lu Yan to not sell her. I offered a hundred thousand taels of silver, not ten! The guy who loves money as much as his life would have definitely sold her. But if that little maid is Qi Qingyao, it makes sense that Lu Yan won’t sell her.”
Cuiping finally understood and said, “Oh, that’s right. The State Preceptor couldn’t possibly have just kissed a little maid like that. It’s not as if he’s lost control after being deprived of women.”
“Once we assume that the little maid is Qi Qingyao, then everything makes sense.” Ling Luoyan nodded slowly, her expression calm. “The State Preceptor must have discovered the little maid’s identity, so he looked into it as much as he could. In the end, he kissed her in order to assess Lu Yan’s reaction. The next day, the State Preceptor then went up her door to propose marriage. This series of actions…is really expected of the lofty State Preceptor from Capital City!”
“Miss, if the little maid is Qi Qingyao, then Master Lu must have spent five million taels to bid on that Nine Star Pill of Omnipotence for her sake.” Cuiping excitedly dove further into the topic. She was quite happy. “Miss, do you think Master Lu also likes Qi Qingyao?”
To her surprise, Ling Luoyan shook her head. “The probability is very small.”
“…” Cuiping was confused yet again. Master Lu does not like Qi Qingyao despite treating her so nicely?
Ling Luoyan said seriously, “First of all, she has triplets and is a widow. No normal guy would even take a liking to her. He is probably on her side only because of that young grand master of hers, whatever his name is.
Cuiping said with a sudden realization, “I think he’s called Si Jin.”
“Right, Si Jin.”
Ling Luoyan muttered the name.
She was suddenly filled with sympathy for Qi Qingyao.
Just based on their interaction on that one day.
The way she spoke was very interesting.
She had even called her pretty.
That meant that Qi Qingyao definitely was not pretty herself, hehe!
A widow with triplets and a strange young grand master by her side. Now she was even being pursued—no, used—by the young master of the top chamber of commerce in Northern Liang, and even the current State Preceptor…
She was a real sorry sight.
As for Si Jin.
Hold on—
An image flashed in Ling Luoyan’s mind. At the auction house the other day, the little servant sitting next to the little maid was so ordinary looking. He could not possibly be Si Jin in disguise, could he?
She thought about how she might just have met the currently most famous young grand master in the continent.
Ling Luoyan suddenly felt excited.
