Chapter 441: Chapter 442: Humph, Little Swindler…
It wasn’t long before a group of people arrived at the Liu Residence and settled down.
As expected of the Minister Office, the courtyard where Qi Yue stayed was elegant and comfortable, much better than staying at an inn.
After dark, Zhao Tai, Zhao Chong, and others also brought Li Tianyi over.
Considering that they were now at the Liu Residence, which was not easy to enter or leave, Qi Yue instructed her people not to keep an eye on Li Tianyi anymore.
Upon hearing this, Qingzhu was a bit worried.
“Master, I’m afraid he might do something undesirable.”
“What’s meant to come can’t be stopped,” Qi Yue pursed her lips and paused for a moment, “Haven’t you noticed that the people who were watching us have increased? If I’m not wrong, the other party has probably discovered Li Tianyi.”
“In that case, wouldn’t that have let the other party know our identities first?”
Qi Yue slightly hooked her lips.

“It was indeed improper before, but now, with Liu Zhinan’s witness testimony, who would still connect me with Qi Yunzhang’s daughter, Qi Yue?”
As she said this, she paused briefly in a daze.
“So, how is it that Liu Zhinan recognizing his niece just fits so perfectly?”
Qingzhu also stood stunned.
“Does master mean that Liu Zhinan, clearly knowing master’s identity, still recognizes her as his niece because he has ulterior motives?”
“Of course,” Qi Yue glanced at Qingzhu.
“In this world, there is never love without a reason. Don’t forget, we are now entrenched in troubles, and at such a time, the Liu Family is taking a huge risk by acknowledging my identity with such fanfare.”
Qingzhu also became tense.
“Does that mean Liu Zhinan’s intentions are significant? Could it have something to do with the Marquis?”
“Not sure, let’s observe for a while,” Qi Yue cut off the topic, “By the way, how has the Peace Envoy Yuan Ji been these past two days?”
“The Peace Envoy?” Qingzhu curled the corner of her lips, finding the title rather fitting.
“Yuan Ji has already met with the Emperor of Nanyue and it’s said they got along very well. But afterwards, there have been no more summons from the palace, and it’s been two days now, which is strange.”
“Hmm, have someone keep an eye on it!”
Qi Yue waved her hand tiredly, “Leave the outside matters to you. I need to rest for a while.”
“Yes, master.”
These past few days, she had thought about too many things, and her mind was muddled; things had not gone as she had envisioned, and instead, some significant variances had arisen.
“Not sure if it is a blessing or a curse.”
Qi Yue sighed softly, just about to go to her private space, when the voice of a maid rang from outside the door.
“Young master, young master, the old master has set a banquet in Yanchun Hall and invites you over!”
She then remembered, presently she was at the Liu Residence, and there were certain formalities she still had to observe.
No choice, she had to tidy up again and made her way to Yanchun Hall.
It was apparent that besides Liu Zhinan, the Liu Family genuinely believed she was the lost niece from their family, and treated her excellently.
And regarding Liu Zhinan, he was also kind to him.
But it was precisely because of their over-the-top kindness that she felt something was off.
Knowing her true identity, yet he meticulously crafted a false identity in front of the family.
Without any schemes, Qi Yue would never believe it.
However, up to now, Liu Zhinan hadn’t shown any intentions, his sincere gaze even made Qi Yue doubt if she was being overly conspiratorial.
The meal lasted for about one Shichen before dispersing, and the Liu Family matriarch, reluctant to let her go, pulled her aside to talk in the backyard for a while.
By the time she returned to her place in Baoyue Pavilion, it was just past 9-11 PM.
A few maids escorted her to her doorstep, even offering to fetch water for her bath, but were gently persuaded to leave by Qi Yue.
Summer was imminent, and the weather had already become hot and dry.
Fortunately, the courtyard was shaded by lush trees, making it quite pleasant.
Qingzhu and the others were nowhere to be seen, and the courtyard was empty.
Qi Yue stepped up to the porch, thinking of getting some air, and slightly loosened her outer garment.
Just then, she noticed a beam of bright moonlight shining on the flower pot in front of the steps, giving off a clean and elegant vibe, prompting her to look up at the moon.
In the sky, a full moon hung, pure and flawless.
Qi Yue suddenly thought of Zhao Xiyan and became momentarily entranced.
She had left Longnan County Government and Zhao Xiyan for nearly a month now!
She really wanted to see him right away.
Perhaps it was because she had drunk a little wine tonight, but in a daze, Qi Yue seemed to hear Zhao Xiyan’s aggrieved voice.
“When you left, your words were so sweet, just a few days and you’ll be back… Humph, little liar…”
Qi Yue was immediately startled and hurriedly looked around.
In the quiet courtyard, other than the deep shadows of the trees, there was no sign of him.
Qi Yue focused and couldn’t help but laugh a little.
Had she actually experienced auditory hallucinations?!
“Forget it, I’ll take a pill to calm my mind!”
She muttered to herself, pushed the door open, and carefully closed it behind her.
All of a sudden, a long-missed cold fragrance surged from behind her, enveloping her completely.
A pair of familiar and strong arms clasped her waist, and instantly, a wave of heat rose from the bottom of her heart, sweeping through her whole body.
“Yueyue…”
That soul-stirring voice, as soon as it reached her ears, was deeply imprinted on her heart, sparking wildly.
“My husband, it’s you…”
“Who else…”
The man chuckled mischievously by her ear, and a tingling sensation instantly spread and grew at the tip of her ear, causing Qi Yue to collapse uncontrollably.
“I thought… it was a hallucination… uh…” Qi Yue trembled, squeezing out a few words from her throat.
“Is Yueyue missing her husband? Hmm?”
Zhao Xiyan spoke lightly, but his hands roamed aggressively, leaving chaos in their wake.
As their clothes fell away, the two of them simultaneously collapsed into the bed curtains.
That night, the summer insects of Baoyue Pavilion seemed to have matured overnight, chirping unusually lively.
“How did you suddenly come? Was your journey safe?”
“If Yueyue misses her husband and he does not come, wouldn’t it be a sin?”
“Stop it, who misses you?”
“Still saying you don’t miss me? I have evidence.”
“What evidence?”
“Tonight, where is the moon, murmurously talking of longing.”
“What?” Qi Yue was stunned for a moment before she realized, and her face couldn’t help turning red.
“It’s just a name made up randomly, how can you fabricate like this? You really have a thick face.”
“Made up? I don’t think so. Why didn’t you just make up some other name, insisting on calling it Chen Xiaoyue?”
Zhao Xiyan said, propping up half his body to look at her, his eyes sparkling like spring water, irresistibly warming her heart and flushing her face.
Qi Yue busily scrambled around the bed for clothes, but where was there anything to cover herself with?
She simply curled up entirely in the man’s arms, feeling somewhat better.
However, this movement led Zhao Xiyan to lean over her again.
“Yueyue…”
“Are you starting again? Do you still want to sleep?”
“Isn’t this sleeping?”
“…”
Towards the early morning, the summer insects in Baoyue Pavilion also had a rough night, collectively suffering from insomnia until daylight, when it finally quieted down.
When she woke up again, it was nearly noon.
Qi Yue stared, fixating on the canopy above her head for a whole minute, slowly recalling the events of last night.
“What’s so interesting about the ceiling? Yueyue should be looking at me.”
