The Legend of Princess Qingping
Chapters 27. Awaiting News

After Liu Qingqing's departure, Jiang Yu hurried to leave the Rongyi Inn. He had to immediately meet Boss Yu to convey his nona request. However, he did not seem to realize that his movements were being watched by others.

"It looks like he will become an important person in the capital," said someone breaking the silence. He was standing by the window of room number 17 to see the departure of Liu Qingqing's subordinate. "Not only from the First Brother's residence, even the guards of the Song Family's home sent people to watch over him."

Yi Jintao who was standing beside Zhou Ziyang responded, "Do you need someone to help you?"

"No need, surely he has his own way of dealing with it. Besides, Xu Jia would have already prepared someone to prepare."

"What if someone else finds out Young Master Jiang is going to see Boss Yu?" yi Jintao asked a little worriedly. "Would it not bring new problems, sir?"

Zhou Ziyang shifted his gaze. He looked towards Yi Jintao with a slight smile appearing. "They will only know that Jiang Yu is heading to the Rongyu Pavilion, for other matters we need not worry. They can take care of it well."

She was kind and sat back down on the chair, pouring tea into her own cup. Only then did he continue his words. "It's no surprise that First Brother sent his men, but for Song's Residence this is new."

"I don't think this is Song Xiyi's intention" Yi Jintao argued.

"Obviously no. Li Zemin acting like this must be under Miss Song's control, that woman is a bit troublesome and much different from her father."

"Seeing their old relationship, if Li Zemin asked for some information from him would Young Master Jiang do just that?" There was a kind of caution in Yi Jintao's speech. "Can he betray Miss Liu Qingqing in order to cherish their brotherly relationship?"

"Jiang Yu would not do such a thing and Li Zemin would not force it either. They value their brotherly relationship well. Even if Li Zemin was forced to suppress Jiang Yu, he would definitely never succeed." Zhou Ziyang paused for a moment. He saw wisps of steam start rising from the teacup and lightly blew on it, then sipped the Jiushan Silver Needle Tea fruitfully.

Zhou Ziyang's attitude was so calm. He sat with his back straight like a pine tree undisturbed by the wind in all seasons. Even when he was enjoying tea, it looked as if he could not feel all sorts of kinds of worries.

"Jiang Yu was not a person who gave up easily just because of the small pressure. If he's such a person, how could I possibly want to pull him over to our side?"

Although Zhou Ziyang's tone of voice sounded light, but the look of his eyes looked sharp and piercing. Therefore, Yi Jintao could not help but feel his body tremble. "Master does have a good judgment. However, Young Master Jiang had already rejected the request. Do I need to persuade him back? Maybe that way he'll change his mind."

"It's too late, now that he's been fighting." His gaze shifted back into the teacup. "If you want to attract him, it is better to just pull his master. That way we'll get two benefits at once!"

"I mean ... Sir, want to draw Miss Liu Qingqing to our side?" A look of surprise was clearly visible on his face.

A moment later he steadily said, "Let me take care of this, sir. I can definitely make Second Miss Liu on our side."

Yi Jintao is really enthusiastic. He was so excited and confident in his abilities. As a head of the inn, of course, he was skilled in persuading customers to stop at his place. Therefore Rongyi Inn occupies the second position as the best inn in the capital.

However, even though Yi Jintao was expert in terms of persuading customers, it would not apply at all to the case. After all Liu Qingqing was no longer a meek miss who was easily instigated by others.

It was certain that Zhou Ziyang would reject Ji Yintao's proposal.

Zhou Ziyang raised his face, looking at Yi Jintao with a small smile. "Uncle Yi, thank you for your goodwill. But this is not something you can take care of. I'll do it myself and use this opportunity to observe something."

"Does Master have some suspicions towards Miss Liu Qingqing? Or against Young Master Jiang Yu?"

"Ah .. I'll tell you when it's time." Zhou Ziyang turned his gaze towards the window. He could see the sky was filled with orange.

Dusk finally came down.

"Uncle Yi, please prepare some dinner. I'll spend the night here." Zhou Ziyang said to Yi Jintao who replied a nod.

"Good, Sir. I'll get it ready soon."

After saying this Yi Jintao rushed out of room 17.

Zhou Ziyang massaged his temple with a hint of strength. There were some questions on his mind.

"What exactly is he planning?"

"Why does he need to see Boss Yu?"

"What does all this have to do with the loss of the Feilong Plate?"

Not nothing, it's just that the person who can give the answer is not within his scope of reach.

Eventually the night sky grew darker and the moon rose higher.

Liu Qingqing was silent in the room. After his return from the Rongyi Inn, he rushed to clean himself up then started to get busy to read some books. He ignored Bai Liu who often went back and forth to his room to check on him.

"Miss, it's night. Don't you have the pleasure to rest?" bai Liu asked with a worried face.

"In a moment, Liu'er. I want to finish my reading first." Liu Qingqing gave a reply without turning her head towards Bai Liu.

Bai Liu watched the book Liu Qingqing was reading. He couldn't help but be anxious, seeing his nona kept busy until he forgot dinner. However, he had tried to reprimand her even though in the end it only received a light refusal.

In one glance everyone could see how thick it was. It was impossible for anyone to be able to finish it overnight. Even if the person is a genius who is presented by God every hundred years.

Liu Qingqing seemed to be able to understand Bai Liu's anxiety. He stopped reading, raised his head and looked towards Bai Liu. He smiled a smile as he said, "Alright, I will listen to you Liu'er. Now I'll close the book and rest as you wish."

He in Bai Liu's heart felt guilty, but what was done was only for the good of his nona. "I'm sorry, Miss. I didn't mean to ban you, but it's already night. I think it's a very thick book, there's no way you can read it to completion in just one night."

Liu Qingqing's eyes narrowed. He slightly lowered his head and glanced at the book before him. His forehead creased as if he had just realized that it turned out that the book he had just read was very thick. It was only fitting that Bai Liu looked so worried.

He looked at Bai Liu once more. "Liu'er, please go to the kitchen, bring me some snacks and a jar of wine."

"Wine? Is Miss in a bad mood? Why would he want to drink?" This question filled Bai Liu's heart.

"Liu'er, did you not hear my words?" liu Qingqing asked looking at Bai Liu's surprised expression.

Bai Liu quickly regained his senses. "Listen, Miss. I'll take it right away."

After which, he hurriedly dragged his feet out and went towards the kitchen. Bai Liu had previously ordered the kitchen maids to always heat the stove, so that when the nonanya needed something to eat she would not have to wait long.

Without waiting for long Bai Liu had returned to Liu Qingqing's room. He brought all his non-order. The table that had been filled with books had been cleaned and was ready to accommodate Bai Liu's luggage.

"Miss, all have been brought here. Do you need anything else?"

"This is enough, Liu'er." Liu Qingqing's tone of voice sounded light. "You go to your room and rest."

"Why, Miss? Can't I accompany you?"

Liu Qingqing looked at her subordinates. He could understand Bai Liu must have been tired after a long day of accompanying him. He did not want to continue to trouble his subordinate, forcing him to stay on guard until nightfall.

He gave a small smile. It looked extremely pure without any element of coercion. He seemed to want to declare that he was fine and his heart was not in a bad mood at all. 'It's night, Liu'er. You better go back to your room and rest. This is not a request but an order!"

There was firmness at the end of Liu Qingqing's words, making Bai Liu's intention to accompany her shrink. He clearly knew when Liu Qingqing had already said 'This is an order', it was a thing that could not be broken.

Therefore, with a heavy heart Bai Liu nodded. "Well, lady, I'll step down."

He looked at Liu Qingqing for quite a long time before finally turning around to leave. His steps feel heavy. He was so reluctant to leave his bedroom

Right at the door bang Bai Liu stopped. He turned his head back, looking at Liu Qingqing with a look of supplication. "Miss, do you really not want me to be with you?"

Liu Qingqing shook her head. "Go!"

Although it was very hard to agree to Liu Qingqing's request, but Bai Liu couldn't do much. In the end he could only give up and step away into his own room.

"Liu'er, Liu'er, you are. I know you care so much about me, but you also have to care about yourself."

Liu Qingqing heaved a sigh of relief after Bai Liu's departure. He did not enjoy the dishes on the table and preferred to step towards the window. He opened the window letting the cold wind in and hit him.

He looked up and his gaze was directed towards the moon hanging in the sky. "Tonight the moon shone brighter. Could this be a good sign? Could he have successfully met Boss Yu?"
