Qing Wan nodded indifferently, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for reminding me. Qing Wan has taken note of it."
"Aren't you worried?" Ji Lanjin stared at her and looked at her. She couldn't tell what kind of feeling she had in her heart. It was as if all her strategizing skills could not be used once she met the opponent.
"Worry or not, you have to face it after all, right? The emperor wants to see Qing Wan only because of the prince, so he probably won't embarrass Qing Wan too much. Besides, didn't the prince also say that we will go together?
Will you protect Qingwan?"
The worst outcome would be to disagree with their marriage. If that were the case, she would actually want to thank the other party.
She and Ji Lanjin, separated by past and present lives, were nothing more than a bad fate.
Although she really wanted to find out the cause of death in her previous life, she didn't want to get entangled with him and risk her life over it.
"Yes, I will protect you."
After saying this, the two of them could not find anything else to say.
After a long silence, Qingwan found her voice first and said, "It's time for me to go back."
Ji Lanjin didn't offer to see her off, but just stood there quietly, watching the other person's back as he left. His fair and jade-like handsome face was stained with a layer of cold, watery light, and his eyes were actually incomprehensible to others.
mood.
Only to hear a dark shadow quietly appear behind him, "Your Majesty, the spies sent out are back."
Ji Lanjin finally looked away, "What did they say?"
"Your Majesty's prediction was correct. It was indeed that person who did it..." The man standing behind him replied with a serious look on his face: "I'm afraid that Miss will go back this time..."
Ji Lanjin raised her hand to cut off what the other party was going to say next. She glanced at the direction where the man disappeared again, then walked forward and said, "Let's go to the study and talk!"
Qing Wan had been away from the Qing family for almost half a month, but when she came back, it seemed like a long time had passed. If it weren't for some things that hadn't been figured out and some people hadn't been sorted out, she really wished she would never step foot here again in her life.
When she returned to Qing Mansion, the gatekeeper told her that Madam was waiting for her, and asked her to put down her things and go to see Mr. Qian.
Qingwan asked Zisu to take the luggage back to Wisteria House first, while she took the cardamom and walked in the other direction.
Not to see Mr. Qian, but to pay regards to the old lady.
At the entrance of Nuanxiangzhai, the maids were gathered in twos and threes. Some gathered together to do needlework, while others squatted in the sun and dozed off. The old lady liked peace and quiet, and not a trace of noise could be heard in the yard.
Occasionally there were conversations or two, but the voices were kept down as much as possible.
Seeing Qing Wan entering the door, everyone couldn't help but stand up. Even those who had been dozing were woken up by their companions and stood up staggeringly.
After a series of events in the past, her status in the Qing Mansion is now obviously different. Especially the people in the old lady's courtyard do not dare to treat her with any slightest care.
"Miss?"
Lu Yi came out with a basin and opened the curtain, and was obviously stunned when she saw Qing Wan coming out of the yard.
Ever since she was rejected last time, the way Lu Yi looked at her was obviously different. There seemed to be something more besides respect.
Qingwan nodded to the other party, "I'm here to pay my respects to the old lady."
Lu Yi frowned, glanced in the direction of the inner room and said, "But the old lady just fell asleep. How about the slave go in and help you wake up?"
But Qingguan stopped him and said, "It doesn't matter, I'll just sit in the outer room and wait for grandma to wake up."
