"Don't underestimate my friend, I'll treat you to some Maocai at Tianxia Yiwei today."
Xie Lingqin turned her head and spoke.
Upon hearing this, Yu Qingyi chuckled, "Eating maocai, that's good... wait, you..." Yu Qingyi looked Xie Lingqin up and down, a hint of wariness in his eyes, "You... such a stingy person who values money more than life, are you treating me... to a meal?" Yu Qingyi pointed to himself, disbelieving.
Xie Lingqin rolled her eyes. "You can refuse."
"Oh no, I don't refuse, I don't refuse..." Seeing that Xie Lingqin was really not joking, Yu Qingyi quickly leaned closer again, "Speaking of which, the last time you gave that plaque, it was taken away by that manager called Bai Yu. He said that unless his boss gave the order, he wouldn't give it back."
"It's okay, it's me, the boss."
Xie Lingqin spoke casually, but Yu Qingyi listened with wide eyes.
"You, you, you..."
He held his finger up for a long time without saying a word.
Xie Lingqin smiled very gently, "Young Master Yi, may we meet again under the same sky."
After saying that, he climbed into the carriage.
Zihe looked at Yu Qingyi with amusement, then got into the carriage and told the driver to drive away.
...
Meanwhile, Li Qingyu's carriage had already stopped.
Li Huoyu lifted the curtain, looked at the person blocking the carriage, frowned, and a hint of arrogance flashed in her eyes, "Huo Yanru?"
"It's been a long time since I've seen Sister Qingyu. I'm so glad you still remember me."
Huo Yanru gestured for her maid to stay where she was, and then slowly walked forward to the carriage. "I heard that Sister Qingyu is now personally investigating Young Master Li's case. I came early to see you, but I didn't expect you to be leaving so soon."
Li Qingyu did not answer immediately, but instead looked Huo Yanru up and down, whose appearance was average.
She naturally knew the daughter of the Prefect of the Capital. They hadn't had much interaction before because she spent most of her time at Jiufeng Mountain. She also felt that these young ladies were all too delicate and pretentious, and were far removed from her own personality, so she didn't want to befriend them. However, when she investigated Xie Lingqin, she also learned that there was a conflict between Xie Lingqin and Huo Yanru.
"Yes, I had a little disagreement with Miss Xie just now." Li Qingyu pondered for a while, then looked away and said softly.
Upon hearing this, Huo Yanru's eyes flashed with joy. "Is it Xie Lingqin again? As expected, she's the one who offended Sister Qingyu."
"Your younger sister doesn't like her?"
"Of course, but my younger sister is weak and powerless and can hardly deal with her, so I thought of asking my older sister for help."
"OK."
Li Qingyu nodded.
She had been humiliated by Xie Lingqin today, so it was best not to make a move for the time being. If Huo Yanru could be sent as a pawn, that would be perfect.
"Oh, by the way, I heard something before. My mother originally arranged for my fourth sister to meet Mr. Wang Renyi, but the two of them weren't meant to be. I did hear before that Sister Huo was quite interested in Mr. Wang..."
Li Qingyu tentatively uttered a sentence, and sure enough, Huo Yanru showed a shy expression on her face, and immediately understood.
...
Xie Lingqin was unaware of what was happening in this alley. In fact, her carriage hadn't gone far from the other side before it also stopped.
They were dodging several carriages coming from the front.
"Miss, the last carriage ahead looks like the young master's." Inside the carriage, Zihe lifted the curtain and looked outside, then said to Xie Lingqin.
Upon hearing this, Xie Lingqin slightly raised her eyelids.
She heard about it this morning; last night, not long after she fell asleep, the general sent someone to let Xie Danling return to the courtyard.
After all, he is his own son. Speaking of which, Xie Danling is supposed to return to the academy today.
"It's alright. Today is the day he returns to the academy. This time is just right."
"Hmm, those cars in front of you, young master, must be the children of your classmates."
Xie Lingqin lifted the curtain and looked outside; each carriage had a sign on it.
The Marquis of Loyalty and Valor's Residence, the Minister's Residence, the Vice Minister's Residence, the Marquis's Residence...
"Hmph, they're all just spoiled rich kids." Xie Lingqin chuckled lightly, and only after the carriages had left did she signal Zihe to change course.
Zihe, puzzled, looked at Xie Lingqin and asked, "Miss, isn't the 'One Flavor Under Heaven' right in front of us?"
"Okay, let's follow Xie Danling to his academy first, but we can walk slowly."
Although Zihe was puzzled, she knew that her mistress must have a reason for doing so, so she immediately ordered the coachman to turn the carriage around and follow at a leisurely pace.
Because they were far away, the carriages in front of them didn't notice them.
Huangshan Academy is the largest academy in the capital, where the sons of noble families from all over the city study. Sometimes, princes and princesses also come here. There is also a special study room in the palace for the princes to study. However, the current emperor is not so strict about etiquette and moral education and does not require rote memorization. If the princes and princesses are tired of studying in the palace, they can also go to Huangshan Academy for a visit.
After traveling for about an hour, around noon, the carriages finally arrived at Huangshan Academy. Only after the carriages entered one by one did Zihe, at Xie Lingqin's signal, instruct the coachman to move the carriages forward.
Huangshan Academy is indeed ancient and elegant. It is said to have been passed down from the previous dynasty. Beside the academy, there are ancient trees that are several hundred years old, and their yellow leaves rustle in the wind.
Xie Lingqin looked at the big tree, and after a moment, she stepped forward and reached out to touch the thick trunk, her eyes cold and icy.
In the dream, that dream filled with bloodshed and carnage.
That woman was in a dream filled with countless hatred and resentment.
"Today, you gouged out my eyes, ripped out my skin, shattered my bones, and destroyed my soul. One day, I will become a vengeful ghost, haunting you for three lifetimes and disturbing your peace..."
Although she could never see the woman's face clearly, nor could she discern the environment in which she lived, in her dream, there was the sound of leaves rustling in the wind, and that sound was so similar to the sound of leaves being blown by the wind.
