“Huh?”

Qi Qingyao was not at all happy after hearing this. She stared at the man in the moonlight, livid. “What do you like about me? My face? That can’t be it, there are many beautiful girls in the capital. Is your taste so eccentric that you only fancy widows? Do you like fickle and lascivious women? Or do you like young women with children? Or is it because you are jealous that Li Ruoxuan had ascended into grand mastership and you hadn’t, so you decided to get advice from Si Jin? And since you know Si Jin won’t help you, you’re taking the roundabout way by manipulating me? Look, I did not mince my words at all, so you already know my stand on this. You don’t have to be scared of Si Jin killing you and resort to indirect means like confessing to me. No one would buy it.”

Jiang Yeqian, “…”

Qi Qingyao was trying very hard to look restrained. She added faintly, “It’s already late, please leave if you are done.”

“…”

Jiang Yeqian did not move. He just stood there watching her quietly.

Qi Qingyao knew that when this night was over, she might not be able to remain being friends with this man who always prioritized practical benefits.

She turned and left the garden.

Li Ruoxuan asked Zhu Shen to follow her and escort her back to the courtyard.

Jiang Yeqian watched her leave without saying anything. He stood in the garden of the State Preceptor’s residence for a long time before finally raising his head to look up at the moon. His expression was complicated, as though he did not know what to say. His body was as cold as a statue.

When he lifted his feet and began walking away, Li Ruoxuan followed him. He sent Jiang Yeqian off with some enthusiasm and said,

“I didn’t want you to meet her but you insisted… I rather pity you; you got lectured quite miserably. ”

Jiang Yeqian frowned at the obviously mocking tone. Without even turning around, he said, “Would it kill you to shut up?”

“Alright, I’ll stop, hehe,” Li Ruoxuan replied coolly.

Jiang Yeqian, “…”

Perhaps tonight really was not the right time to confess, but there were some things that he had to make clear that night.

There would be more problems if he left them for later.

Although, she had been very reluctant to give in.

Jiang Yeqian felt a little disappointed.

Because he had finally been able to say it.

Now Li Ruoxuan knew that he truly liked that woman!

Jiang Yeqian left the State Preceptor’s residence the way he arrived. Outside the walls, Zhao Xin hurried over to meet him.

“Your Excellency?”

Hands tucked behind his back, Jiang Yeqian left the place quickly with Zhao Xin lest a spy was to spot him.

After returning to his residence, Jiang Yeqian looked around at the empty house. For the first time, he felt an inexplicable sense of repulsion. He stood within the walls and swept his gaze from the pond to the garden.

What an empty and boring house.

Zhao Xin looked at his Excellency suspiciously, as if wondering why he was not going in.

Jiang Yeqian turned around and walked out the front door.

Zhao Xin quickly followed. When he reached the door, he asked in a daze,

“Your Excellency?”

“…”

“A-are we going somewhere again?”

“…”

He remained silent as before.

The guards at the gate of the Head Grand Secretariat’s residence also looked confused as they watched Jiang Yeqian leaving the residence at this late hour. They were all scratching their heads in doubt.

Zhao Xin noted that his master had not instructed him to prepare a carriage, or a horse, or any other mount…

He was also confused.

Jiang Yeqian walked quietly along the long street under the moonlight.

Zhao Xin followed silently.

People had been keeping tabs on Jiang Yeqian’s residence ever since he returned to Capital City.

Spies from everywhere were watching the Head Grand Secretariat as he left in the middle of the night. They thought Jiang Yeqian was off to do something mysterious, so they were watching him quietly.

In the end, the spies only saw Jiang Yeqian walking under the night sky with his hands behind his back and his expression wistful and apathetic.

Like he was just taking a casual walk.

This confused the spies…

What was going on with the Head Grand Secretariat?

He used to be so busy taking care of many things every day. Now he was suddenly taking a calm stroll? Was he that free? Could he be waiting to meet with someone?

With that in mind, all the spies watched him in secret as they hoped to discover the Head Grand Secretariat’s motive for the night.

Everyone got excited when the handsome man led his subordinate to the Qinglong River.

In the end…

Time slipped by in seconds and then minutes.

The man was sitting on a stone platform by the river as he watched the flowing water as if he was just in a daze.
