Madam Wu, “...” Ah!

Although the woman’s drawing was not particularly good, she managed to adequately complete the key part of the pattern. Moreover, he had seen the pattern before. Li Ruoxuan’s eyebrows rose and he said, “This pattern is similar to the patterns on the jade amulets that appeared all over Qingzhou City a few days ago.”

“???” What and what? Madam Wu was confused.

Li Ruoxuan’s voice was light and slow as if he were reminiscing. “From the looks of it, it could be that Qi Qingyao took the initiative to fish in troubled waters, hoping to get a bite.”

“...???” What fishing? What was the person talking about? Madam Wu was not able to catch up with his words.

Li Ruoxuan suddenly asked, “Did you think I was going to kill Qi Qingyao after asking you about this?”

“What else?” This State Preceptor kept asking about Yaoyao’s past, was it not because he wanted to kill her?

“I was just curious about where she came from.” Li Ruoxuan’s gaze was dark but his expression was calm. He said, “I will keep this a secret. You must not share it out either. Just pretend none of this happened.”

“...”

Hah?

Pretend it never happened?

He kidnapped her.

He even threatened her to reveal the secret from twenty years ago.

Now she had to pretend this happened, how was that possible?

Madam Wu could not believe it…

Li Ruoxuan, however, was too lazy to bother with her. He immediately instructed, “Zhu Shen, send the woman home.”

Madam Wu wanted to ask something, but seeing that the young man with the eye patch seemed to have fallen into deep contemplation, she dared not ask anymore.

She knew the man was going to release her and let her go home.

So, she quickly got up and followed the subordinate out.

Zhu Shen personally sent Madam Wu off from the dilapidated temple.

Madam Wu suddenly realized that this was the temple where she had Old Man Qi banish Qi Qingyao and her triplets last year…

After walking for a while, Madam Wu looked at the dilapidated temple behind her and voiced her questions to the man in black.

“M-my lord, will your Excellency really not kill me?”

Zhu Shen glanced sideways at the woman and said coldly, “The State Preceptor’s words hold weight. If he says he won’t kill you, he won’t kill you. I just hope you keep your mouth shut. Otherwise... ”

Zhu Shen made a gesture of cutting his neck.

Madam Wu gulped and hurriedly added, “The State Preceptor was really just asking for no reason? He wouldn’t do anything to our Yaoyao, right?”

“Why are you such a talkative woman?” Zhu Shen spat coldly.

“I, I-I-I…” Madam Wu suddenly knelt at Zhu Shen and begged, “My lord, since you’re one of the State Preceptor’s men, I really have to know if the State Preceptor is going to kill our Yaoyao.”

Zhu Shen replied impatiently, “He won’t.”

“Really?” Madam Wu still did not dare to believe.

Zhu Shen instantly got annoyed and said, “Our master just wants to help her discover her identity. Not to mention, she still has that grand master Si Jin at her side, so why would he kill her for?” There was not a single benefit to be gained from killing Qi Qingyao. That said, Qi Qingyao was still someone the empress wished to summon…

After Madam Wu ascertained that Qi Qingyao was not in danger, she instantly let out a sigh of relief. She hurriedly kowtowed to Zhu Shen and said, “Thank you, my lord.”

Zhu Shen picked the woman up and reminded her, “Pretend nothing happened after you get back.”

“...” Madam Wu gulped but did not dare say anything.

“Do you understand?” Zhu Shen bellowed.

“Yes, my lord.” Madam Wu nodded so furiously it was as if she were pounding garlic.

Zhu Shen narrowed his eyes. “Before you think of revealing any secrets, first think about your family…”

“...” Madam Wu nodded even faster.

…

…

In the afternoon, Qi Qingyao changed into a maid’s attire and left through the back gate inconspicuously. She walked to a street and entered a black carriage. There was no flag on the carriage and it left Qingzhou City quietly, heading toward Baishui Town.

It was said that they were returning to their hometown.

Qi Qingyao, however, somehow had a bad feeling.

Dong Jing looked at the little lady in front of her…

He lowered his voice.

“Missus, you don’t need to be nervous. Our arrangements for leaving the city are very discreet. No one will know.”

Yeah…”

She was not worried about this.

Qi Qingyao lowered her gaze, not saying a word.
