However, coming back to the current topic.
“How is she related to the Master Architect Li Qinglian? And how is she related to the divine physician Su Hexiao? Why isn’t that written in there?”
“About that, father, I don’t know what’s going on either. I heard from the Yulong Gang that this young woman is very mysterious and that she always has two individuals with the ox and horse-head masks by her side, even until now. I thought about it later. Tell me, do you think one of the ox-headed or horse-faced individuals is Su Hexiao, and the other is Master Architect Li Qinglian?”Jiang Zhenyuan said to the old man.
Jiang Siting heard the conversation between his father and grandfather, not daring to interrupt.
The old master pointed at the words on the intelligence report. “What nonsense. Look at what’s written in the document. They’re just two youths.”
.
“That’s right, the servants and cooks back in Longmen Inn in town, as well as those at the Lord Heir’s mansion, have seen how the youth looks when he takes off his horse-head mask. They say that he is a very graceful and elegant young man with a remarkable appearance, not some old man.” Jiang Zhenyuan could only retract his previous suspicions.
“Are the ox-head and horse-face duo not worthy of suspicion then?” Jiang Siting could no longer hold himself back and interjected.
Jiang Zhenyuan hurriedly exclaimed at the old man. “Father, he’s right. If we completely disregard the ox-head and horse-face, how could this woman have cured Heir Pei’s illness or get the blueprints for the building in the village? We have no clue about this. Not to mention, the ox-head and horse-face who usually follow her around both did not appear today. Don’t you find that odd? “She even pretended to be Heir Pei’s maid and disguised herself with that country name Cuihua. Her actions are suspicious.”
Old Master Jiang said emotionally, “Even though I sent an invitation to Heir Pei for this event today, I didn’t actually think he would show up, let alone with that girl.” Who could have known that she would accompany Heir Pei so blatantly and show her face today?
It was not just surprising but downright shocking.
Jiang Siting carefully interjected again, “Grandfather, have you ever considered that this girl might be insane? Or that she was not aware who Lu Yan was?”
Old Master Jiang cast Jiang Siting a cutting glare and rebuked him. “You’re the one who’s gone mad. It’s written clearly in the information given by the Yulong Gang, she and Lu Yan had both stayed at the Longmen Inn at one time and she had even offended him back then. She even had a meal at Heir Pei’s attached mansion. How could she possibly not know who Lu Yan is??When Lu Yan arrived today, she immediately went and sat beside Heir Pei. They definitely know each other. As for her and Lu Yan, I’m afraid there may also be some connection between them.”
“Grandfather, I can’t say I agree with what you said.”
Jiang Siting might have grown a spine or two as he actually dared to oppose the old man openly. He said determinedly, “Since she knows who Lu Yan is, as an ordinary person, she should fear him as the richest person in Northern Liang. In other words, even if she was ignorant due to not knowing who Lu Yan was, shouldn’t Heir Pei remind her given their seemingly good relationship? She just humiliated Lu Yan thoroughly in front of everyone today. Isn’t that basically having a death wish?”
“She is looking for trouble.” The old man was not angry and even added smoothly, “Not only is she looking for trouble, she’s practically the epitome of someone who thinks they’ve been living too long already.”
After that.
The three of them looked at each other quietly.
Then sighed.
If they were talking about Qingyao alone, then it would make sense to them that she had lost her mind! They would conclude that she had gone insane.
However, Heir Pei was involved too!
It was written in the report that Heir Pei had been sticking close to the young woman recently. He probably wanted to locate Su Hexiao through her.
If that was the case, Heir Pei would not have allowed the young woman to offend Lu Yan in front of such a big audience, nor would he have allowed her to seek the limelight!
It was really…
Unfathomable.
