Chapter 252: The Third Crock of Gold 8

The moment Qi Qingyao said this, the corners of Si Jin’s eyes and the tip of his eyebrows hooked into a smile, and there seemed to be a hidden sense of happiness between his curved lips.

Jiang Yeqian did not really mind it much.

If she was not afraid of spending her money, it was fine if they kept the house.

However, he was just afraid that tonight..

Things would be a little tricky.

..

After Jiang Siliu dressed herself, she walked gracefully and leisurely into the hall. As soon as she stepped inside, she noticed that half of the guests were already gone. This scene startled her.

Spotting Jiang Siting at one side chatting with a few friends, Jiang Siliu went over and quietly pulled her brother to the side.

“Brother, I haven’t even arrived yet so why does that banquet look like it’s already ending?”

Jiang Siting looked at his little sister who was clad in an outfit of goose yellow and said, “You couldn’t even make it in time to eat the crap when it was hot. You’re such a fool.

Huh?

Eat crap?

Jiang Siliu blinked, confused. “Just what in the world happened? Those loquacious maids were spouting nonsense, saying that some maid had bested Lu Yan and won the Lu family’s biggest house in Qingzhou City.”

Jiang Siting was too busy gossiping away with others such as Lord Han and only spat one sentence at Jiang Siliu.

“I’m afraid the skies of Qingzhou City are about to change.”

“What do you mean?”

Jiang Siliu was still considering asking more questions but noted that Jiang Siting had already turned away to send a few of his friends off.

“Brother!!” Jiang Siliu called out but no one responded to her.

Jiang Siliu was so furious she stamped her feet. She could only turn around and return to the courtyard.

The guests had only stayed for a very short time today. After the little lady won the biggest house in Qingzhou City from Lu Yan, it seemed rather pointless to indulge in the rest of the gossip.

After all the guests had left.

Jiang Siting hurriedly followed his father and grandfather to the library.

Old Master Jiang sat down at the red wood desk. Jiang Zhenyuan did not feel like sitting down so he just stood at the side.

Seeing that his father had not taken a seat..

Jiang Siting did not dare to either.

He felt like those eunuchs who were always by the emperor and emperor’s father’s sides, standing orderly and alert at all times.

Jiang Zhenyuan paced a few steps in the library, saying, “Last night, a mysterious assassin slaughtered everyone in the Lingyun Restaurant and left not a single clue and today, a young woman had provoked Lu Yan to gamble against her and then won the Lu family’s biggest mansion in Qingzhou City. Things are getting more and more interesting in Qingzhou City.”

“Father is right. I also feel that Qingzhou City has become more and more interesting.” Jiang Siting was acting as his father’s echo.

“Have you still not found out about that young lady’s identity?” asked Old Master Jiang.

“How could we not have looked into it?” Jiang Zhenyuan answered as he placed the report given to him by the Yulong Gang on the table. “That young lady is not some Cuihua or random country bumpkin. Sources from the Yulong Gang say that she was just a young woman from Linquan Village of Baishui Town in the Qingzhou Prefecture. She’s an ordinary person and was pregnant with three kids before she was married. There is no information about the children’s father. It was said that her family had severed ties with her some time ago and that she used to be a fool. Then something happened and now, she’s no longer one..”

He felt parched after speaking for quite a while. He said to the old master, “The specifics are all written on the top.”

Old Master Jiang was aware his son and grandson had already brought up the matter about that special building in Linquan Village previously. However, he had not been interested before.

After going through the entire report.

Old master Jiang shifted his gaze to the young woman’s name.

“Qi, Qing, Yao”

It was a rather nice name.

Like he said, how could she possibly be called a mere Cuihua?
