Chapter 825
Early that morning, Qi Jing came again, looking at Huo Zhao with anticipation.
Huo Zhao first had a servant serve her tea before saying, "I had someone investigate carefully, and there is no one named Ning Yu among those who entered the court last year."
Upon hearing this, Qi Jing's face immediately froze.
Huo Zhao looked at her without saying a word.
When she first heard the news, she thought Qi Jing had just made up the name on the spot to stay in Luoyang, but she didn't expect Qi Jing to come over on her own initiative.
In this way, it didn't seem like Qi Jing was lying to her.
Qi Jing sat there blankly, as if she had lost her soul, not even drinking a sip of tea.
After a long while, Qi Jing finally came to her senses and stood up abruptly: "Sister-in-law, I really didn't lie to you. I... I really only want to stay in Luoyang for Young Master Ning's sake. Please help me and let me stay in Luoyang!"
Le An said coldly, "I've already told you, there was no one named Ning Yu among those who entered the court last year. Our young mistress didn't even pursue your mistake of deceiving us, so how dare you ask our young mistress to help you?"
"I—" Qi Jing opened her mouth, but couldn't say anything.
yes.
It's already a good thing that Huo Zhao doesn't blame her now, how could he possibly help her...?
But she had to stay in Luoyang!
Qi Jing gritted her teeth, as if she had made a huge decision: "Sister-in-law, could you please ask the servants to leave? I have something I want to say to you alone."
Seeing that Jixiang and Le'an were standing still and Huo Zhao had not given any orders, Qi Jing had no choice but to say, "These two sisters are my cousin's confidantes, and I... can trust them too."
Upon hearing this, Huo Zhao turned his head slightly and told the other servants to leave and close the door behind them.
"You can say what you have to say now."
"Thank you, cousin-in-law," Qi Jing took a deep breath, "I...I've already lost my virginity..."
As soon as she said that, the room fell into a deathly silence.
Huo Zhao stared at her wide-eyed in disbelief: "How could this be? Aren't you still unmarried?"
Back then, the old lady wanted Qi Jing to become Shen Rang's concubine!
How could Qi Jing possibly...?
Qi Jing closed her eyes briefly: "Sister-in-law, now that things have come to this, I won't hide it from you anymore. Ning Yu and I met two years ago. Although his family is not well-off, he is a proper scholar. I... am just an unloved illegitimate daughter in my family. That day, Ning Yu came to my house to discuss studies with my father. We met by chance in the backyard. He... is a very good person."
After that, we would always meet secretly. He...would write me love poems and treat me very well.
Huo Zhao was speechless: "...Love poems?"
Qi Jing nodded, her voice gentle as water: "Later, a new restaurant opened in our area. They said the chef was from out of town and had excellent skills, so that night, we went out to eat and drink together. But I didn't expect that he would want to break up with me."
That night, he said he came from a poor family and wasn't good enough for me, but I felt he was the best person in the world, and I didn't want to lose him, so that night, we...
Jixiang and Le'an exchanged a silent glance, and even thought about grabbing a handful of melon seeds to crack open.
What an incredible spectacle!
"And then?"
Huo Zhao frowned.
"Later, we would always..." Qi Jing blushed, "Anyway, it just happened like that, and...maybe it was like getting addicted..."
Huo Zhao interrupted her: "What I mean is, you didn't get pregnant with his child, did you?"
