Qiao Tian Chang looked at the distracted Ning Meng Yao with affection, and reached out to pull her hand, he knew that Ning Meng Yao was a very kind and softhearted person. If it wasn’t for them being overboard this time, she probably would not have done such things.
”I’ll support you in whatever you wish to do,” Qiao Tian Cheng looked at Ning Meng Yao.
No matter what she decided to do, he would support her.
Ning Meng Yao smiled as she nodded: “Ask brother-in-law and the others to stop suppressing the two families. However, tell him to release some words as well, that whoever cooperates with them would be going against Tong Bao Zhai.”
A drop of cold sweat fell from Qiao Tian Chang’s forehead, he wanted to ask if there was any difference between this and suppressing them?
Even if it is said that Tong Bao Zhai will no longer suppress them, but by releasing such words, it would be worse than suppressing them.
Who would dare to cooperate with the two families in the future? Wouldn’t that be the same as seeking death?
Ning Meng Yao took a quick glance at Qiao Tian Chang, with a faint smile on her face: “Just because I’m no longer pursuing the matter doesn’t mean that it had never happened before, therefore there is a price they would need to pay.”
There was a price to be paid for their mistakes, even though the price was somewhat high.
Qiao Tian Chang suddenly laughed: “You’re right, there’s a price to pay when you make a mistake.”
”Since you don’t plan to pursue this matter, what do you plan to do after this?” When they were at White Mountain Village, their lives were comfortable and fulfilling. Although this place wasn’t too bad either, it gave him the feeling that something was lacking.
”I wish to go back,” Ning Meng Yao said as she blinked her eyes while looking at Qiao Tian Chang, anticipation visible in her eyes.
”Alright then, we’ll go back.”
”But you......”
”It’s fine, I have certain prerogatives,” There were no wars right now, it didn’t matter if he attended the royal court or not. Since she did not wish to remain here, he would naturally accompany her and go back.
Ning Meng Yao nodded, feeling reassured. Just thinking about returning to her small courtyard made Ning Meng Yao’s eyes gleamed.
She instructed Qing Xue and the others to pack up and get prepared to return.
Qing Xue and the others were slightly confused, why did they need to return? But since the young miss had already said it, they would naturally obey.
However good an idea was, reality was cruel, it was not known how and from where Xiao Qi Tian obtained the news of the two wanting to leave.
He suddenly ran to the General’s Residence from his Duke’s Residence, proceeding to stop the two: “You all are leaving just like this? No way.”
”Why can’t we leave?” The two of them furrowed their brows at the same time and looked at Xiao Qi Tian with displeasure.
Xiao Qi Tian reached out his hand and placed it on his forehead, he was feeling speechless as he looked at the two: “Didn’t you all notice that there are spies around the General’s Residence?”
The two of them are really, after causing such a wave of events, simply plan to just make themselves scarce. Where would there be such a good thing?
Qiao Tian Chang raised his eyebrows: “So what?” Just those jumping clowns, he still felt disdained with needing to handle them.
Xiao Qi Tian heard his tone and immediately understood. They already knew about it.
”I know that you all do not place those people in your eyes, but my brother, the Emperor, wanted me to show this to you all,” Xiao Qi Tian took out a secret letter and passed it to Qiao Tian Chang.
Qiao Tian Chang received it and took a look. After he finished reading it, he furrowed his brows, face showing a grave expression.
”Tian Chang, what’s the matter?” Ning Meng Yao was a little worried as she looked at Qiao Tian Chang.
”Ling Empire has sent people over, and they did not come with good intentions,” The spy Xiao Qi Feng dispatched sent this secret letter over, so its contents should be accurate, but it states that the Crown prince of the neighboring empire had departed long ago, but has yet to arrive until now, which could only mean that he was concealing his identity when he entered the capital and might currently be somewhere inside. It seems that they need to dispatch people to find him.
”Is it very troublesome?” Ning Meng Yao blinked her eyes as she asked in doubt.
Qiao Tian Chang nodded his head: “It is indeed troublesome. The Ling Empire has come, and the people from other empires should also be arriving. Sorry, Yao Yao, I’m afraid I can’t accompany you back,” Qiao Tian Chang had an apologetic and regretful look on his face as he informed Ning Meng Yao.
He needed to remain behind to help Xiao Qi Feng.
Although Ning Meng Yao was slightly disappointed, she knew that this was Qiao Tian Chang’s responsibility She might have felt worried if he disregarded everything just to leave and follow her back.
”It’s alright, I’ll stay back and accompany you. We can return after you’re done with settling your matters,” Ning Meng Yao said with a bright smile.
No matter where she was, so long as she was with this man, it would feel like home.
