Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Wen Chuji asked, “Siliu, do you know Qi Qingyao?”

Jiang Siliu had visited Capital City a few months ago and they had already met each other once or twice! Of course, Wen Chuji knew that Jiang Siliu’s family was considered very prestigious in Qingzhou City.

Jiang Siliu patted her chest and said, “Sisters, have you all forgotten that I am from Qingzhou City?”

Everyone began talking at the same time. “How much do you know about Qi Qingyao? Quick, tell us!”

Jiang Siliu felt very angry when she talked about Qi Qingyao. She promptly and very spiritedly said, “Qi Qingyao. I remember this evil person very clearly. Sisters, I was driven out of Qingzhou City by her.”

Wen Chuji raised her eyebrow. “I have heard a bit about her before, but I didn’t expect her to be so cruel.”

Gan Li asked curiously, “It’s amazing that a country-born person has the ability to drive you away from Qingzhou City. Your Jiang family just allowed her to stir up trouble like this?”

Jiang Siliu said aggrievedly, “What could they do? It happened at the hot mountain springs villa. There were people from the upper circles of Qingzhou City and distinguished guests from Eastern Ling all around. She even had Lu Yan accompanying her. The Head Grand Secretariat was also in attendance. She had peeped at the men when they were taking their bath in the evening and then drew the ‘beauties in the hot springs’ and bested me! I was very dissatisfied, but if I didn’t accept the defeat of our bet, the Jiang family would have been disgraced.”

Wen Chuji, “…” Could she be so… shameless, just because she had a young grand master with her? No, she was already shameless to begin with—which was why she had gotten pregnant before she was even married…

Jiang Siliu said with a huff, “What you all don’t know is that she didn’t actually have a house. The luxurious house she lorded over in Qingzhou City, she had also won from Lu Yan.”

“Is this woman really so powerful?” Someone asked.

“Didn’t you say she’s from the countryside? How can she be so powerful?” Gan Li was curious.

“I don’t know either, but the fact remains that she really is that powerful. I also heard that she was the one who cured Heir Pei’s illness,” Jiang Siliu said very depressedly.

Jiang Liluo said, “Pei Fengtang? He returned to the capital from his mansion in Qingzhou City some time ago. I’ve seen him outdoors several times too recently. He looked very different compared to when he was ill.”

One of the noblewomen asked curiously, “How can a little widow from the countryside know how to treat an illness as well as paint?”

Another woman cursed.

“Sure enough, she’s a lascivious woman. To peek at men while they were taking their baths, how shameless.”

After chatting for an hour, several of the noblewomen had other matters to attend to and took their leave.

Only Wen Chuji, Jiang Liluo, and Jiang Siliu were left in the tea pavilion.

Wen Chuji had specifically asked them to stay.

Wen Chuji’s eyes were half-lidded as she spoke in a low voice, “I heard from my father that after the State Preceptor and Head Grand Secretariat jointly escorted her to Capital City, she has been staying in the former’s residence.”

“Is she also very familiar with the State Preceptor?” Jiang Liluo picked up a cake and asked.

Wen Chuji sighed, “It doesn’t matter who she is familiar with. The point is, why do you suppose the empress bestowed her to Lu Yan? No, to the Lu family?”

Jiang Siliu pondered and answered, “She has a young grand master behind her. The young grand master’s strength is terrifying and beyond control. Now she’s being married off to Lu Yan, which is funny. Is it because Lu Yan likes her, so he went to the palace to ask the empress to propose the marriage?”

Jiang Liluo looked at her cousin bewildered and said, “What are you talking about? Why would Lu Yan like an unmarried widow who has had several children like her? Does Master Lu have such hardcore taste?”

Wen Chuji’s gaze was very deep. “My people have their eyes on the Lu family. Lu Yan had not even left the residence after returning, let alone gone to the palace to ask the empress about the marriage.”

Jiang Liluo paused before saying, “The legendary young grand master didn’t come to Capital City either! What does that mean?”

Jiang Siliu also fell into deep thought.

A moment later, Wen Chuji said.

“Regardless, I will have someone to keep an eye on the State Preceptor’s residence for now. I want to see when will the little widow come out. I must steal a look of her!”

…

After that, Jiang Siliu and her cousin, Jiang Liluo headed back.

Jiang Siliu did not say it out loud, but she was in fact so happy that she could die.

She had not expected at all for Qi Qingyao to have arrived in Capital City and for such an important thing to have happened!

That she had been bestowed to Lu Yan for marriage.

Lu Yan happened to be the desired young master of Wen Chuji, the top female talent in the capital…

They were about to be entertained!

‘Qi Qingyao, Qi Qingyao. You’ve sent yourself into the hands of others before I even had the chance to deal with you. We’ll have to wait longer for your death then!’
