“I think…I can.” Si Jin scratched his head sheepishly.

Qi Qingyao patted his shoulder. “So, for the task I’ve given you, starting from today, I want you to keep an eye on Jiang Bai at all times for twelve hours a day, but don’t be too obvious about it lest you get discovered.”

Si Jin nodded.

Qi Qingyao returned to her room to sleep. She woke up early in the morning even before the sky had brightened. Yawning, she sat up and looked at the three little ones who were sleeping in bed so soundly. After she got out of bed, she went to clean herself up, yawning once again. Right after lighting up a candle, Qi Qingyao went back to work on sewing the pouches.

It was not long after she sat down that Si Jin came knocking on her door.

Qi Qingyao opened the door for him.

After Si Jin walked in, the first thing he said was, “Sister, I have results.”

Qi Qingyao’s brows were raised.

She did not expect his first night of surveillance of this particular person to already bear fruit.

This was really… easy!

Si Jin was about to begin speaking when Qi Qingyao made a shus.h.i.+ng gesture. Then, she exited the room and closed the door behind her.

The wind was a bit strong and the entire courtyard was blanketed in a thick layer of snow. The ground was dressed in a coat of silver.

Heavy snow was still falling even now.

Qi Qingyao had a headache when she saw this.

The area near Qingzhou City was not only wet and cold come winter, but there was also heaps of rain and snow! There had not been more than a handful of days of good weather in the past few days of new year’s; it was no wonder it was the location of the Koi Temple. Perhaps it was because fish liked water that the weather had become like this!

Qi Qingyao pondered and pondered, cradling her forehead a little helplessly.

Si Jin said in a low voice, “There were some weird sounds from string and wood instruments at one-thirty in the morning, it sounded like a signal. Then, I saw Jiang Bai leave while dressed in black and wearing a black mask. I followed him from afar and realized that he was meeting up with a woman dressed in black. I don’t know what they were talking about.”

Qi Qingyao murmured, “A woman dressed in black?”

Si Jin asked, “Do you want to wake him up immediately and confront him?”

Qi Qingyao shook her head and said, “No need.”

“Then, if he meets up with this lady dressed in black again next time, should I tail her and find out who she is?” Si Jin asked.

Qi Qingyao thought about it for a moment and replied, “No need for that… either.”

They just needed to determine that he was some important figure in Capital City. With that, his ident.i.ty would be easily discernible.

After all, there were only so many people who ran in the same social circles as Heir Pei and Lu Yan!

Suddenly, Qi Qingyao said, “I take back what I said. I don’t need you to keep an eye on him anymore.”

“Not anymore?” Si Jin was confused.

Qi Qingyao replied, “Because we’ve determined that he is meeting with a woman dressed in black, as for the follow-up… there’s no need.” As long as his objective was not to kill her!

…

Qi Qingzhu woke up really early this morning. After briefly giving Yangtao some instructions, she snuck out through the Jiang residence back door under the pretense of buying something for the young miss. The road was layered with thick snow and since it was still early, the entirety of Qingzhou City was still in a slumbering state. The only sounds were some sharp screams that flitted from one of the little alleyways; at the turn of the head, there was the scene of a body being dragged away.

Qi Qingzhu was so shocked that she did not dare turn around. She followed the path, the sound of crunching frost coming from below when she stepped on the snow.

She had specifically asked the steward last night about the location of Heir Pei’s attached mansion and the steward had actually leaked some information to her.

The Jiang residence was on Fourteenth Street , so she needed to walk to Eleventh Street from Fourteenth Street. No one had stepped through this pathway recently and Qi Qingzhu’s string of footprints were the only ones left behind.

Once she got to the small courtyard, she spotted a small building with a gate that was surrounded by many people who were all whispering to one another in conversation.

Qi Qingzhu did not dare step forward and waited for the group of people to disperse before she walked up uneasily.
