Upon noticing that His Excellency was keeping silent, Zhu Shen could not help but call out, “Your Excellency?”

“Zhu Shen,” Li Ruoxuan said suddenly.

“Yes?” Zhu Shen promptly responded.

Lu Ruoxuan stroked his chin. He smiled somewhat amusedly and said, “If I kill Qi Qingyao, Si Jin will surely kill me in turn, right?”

“That is… a certainty.” Zhu Shen could not understand the madness of what His Excellency was saying. He reminded, “Your Excellency, you can’t kill Si Jin.” ‘Even if you’ve ascended to grand masters.h.i.+p, you’re still not even as powerful as Pang Juan was. And Pang Juan still died at Si Jin’s hands, so you’d be even more likely to perish.’ “Besides, Qi Qingyao has been summoned by the Empress. Even if you’re angry, you’ll have to hold it in for now.”

Li Ruoxuan said, “I was just saying.”

Zhu Shen, “…??”

Was that really ‘just saying’?

That seemed more like ‘wanting’, but this ‘want’ was not realistically feasible.

…

…

Upon seeing that Li Ruoxuan had run away, Qi Qingyao sighed and said, “I always believed that I have never offended the State Preceptor. Instead, he’s the one who’s always targeting me. First, he killed my older sister. Now, he hates me…” What did this mean?

Lu Yan consoled her and said, “You’re a commoner, he wouldn’t consider you a bother at all. He’s probably just jealous that you’re favored by Si Jin…”

“He hates me so much because he’s jealous of me.” Qi Qingyao did not expect this to be a possible reason. She continued, “Then, is it my fault that I’m so excellent?”

Jiang Yeqian, “…” This woman was such a narcissist!

A thought suddenly came to Jiang Yeqian’s mind, and so he reminded her. “I know you want to avenge Qingzhu, but given the current circ.u.mstances…”

“I have to keep my head down since I’m trapped in a disadvantageous situation,” Qi Qingyao interjected. “I know.”

“If you know that, then…” Jiang Yeqian started.

“I…” Qi Qingyao swallowed the words that had been on the tip of her tongue, then placed a stalk of a green vegetable in Jiang Yeqian’s bowl. She smiled and urged him, “Head Grand Secretariat, eat.”

Jiang Yeqian, “…”

Jiang Yeqian was silent as he looked at the vegetable in his bowl.

Lu Yan was intrigued by the interesting situation. Even though Qi Qingyao had served Jiang Yeqian vegetables, he as the superior Head Grand Secretariat certainly would not eat it.

However, would he still eat it this time?

Lu Yan was tempted to look but did not dare to so obviously, so he could only take a quick peek.

He peeked out of the corner of his eyes.

Jiang Yeqian paused for only a second before silently putting the vegetable in his mouth and swallowing it, then continuing with his meal nonchalantly.

Lu Yan was shocked.

Was the Head Grand Secretariat the kind of person who would eat food given to him by just anyone?

To verify this fact, Lu Yan imitated Qi Qingyao’s actions and offered to give Jiang Yeqian a stalk of a green vegetable.

Jiang Yeqian, “…???”

After looking at it silently, Jiang Yeqian returned the vegetable then continued his meal in silence, indifferent.

Lu Yan glanced at the veggie in his bowl. After a momentary pause, he picked it up and ate it.

However, on the inside, Lu Yan was shocked. ‘Was Jiang Yeqian really such a casual and relaxed person? Why did he eat the vegetable that Qi Qingyao served him but refused to eat mine? Perhaps he believed that I was trying to win his favor since I’m from the Lu family?’

However, there was another possibility.

Jiang Yeqian may have only eaten the vegetable Qi Qingyao served him because he fancied her!!!

This inference was the most reasonable.

However, would Jiang Yeqian, a young and promising Head Grand Secretariat, actually fancy a widow?

When Lu Yan thought about it further, he felt it seemed unlikely.

It was unrealistic.

Hold on.

A terrifying truth suddenly wormed its way into Lu Yan’s mind—if he, the son of the richest man in Northern Liang, could fall in love with this little widow, how likely was it that Jiang Yeqian could also fancy this little widow?

To confirm this suspicion, Lu Yan placed a drumstick into Jiang Yeqian’s bowl once again.

Jiang Yeqian, “…”

Qi Qingyao, “???”

She could not quite understand why Lu Yan was repeatedly serving Jiang Yeqian food. First, it was the green vegetable, now it was a drumstick. Could it be that he liked the former Head Grand Secretariat?

After all, the wealthy have quite unusual tastes!

When this thought came to Qi Qingyao’s mind, she glanced at Jiang Yeqian and Lu Yan with a rather strange smile.

Lu Yan, “???”

Jiang Yeqian, “??????”

Why was her gaze so strange?
