Chapter 232: Arrived at Qingzhou 7

Jiang Yeqian gave her a look that said “Are you kidding?” He said, “How are you ordinary? You stayed in his house for ten days. This information is not hard to come by as long as they have some cash. Then Heir Pei was completely healed. What would other people think about that?”

“You mean that I was targeted long ago?” Qi Qingyao could not help swallowing.

“Heir Pei deliberately had Li Qing go to you twice. Once to help you out of a sticky situation and then to give you gifts when you moved to your new home. He did everything too grandly.” Pei Fengtang was really cunning. He deliberately involved her in everything and did not give her a single opportunity to get out of things.

Qi Qingyao asked curiously, “Are there many eyes on Heir Pei?”

Jiang Yeqian said, as if it was common knowledge, “He’s the heir to the Marquis of Dingbei, who’s in the Capital. The Marquis is pretty popular too. Those officials who want to curry the Marquis’ favor will definitely be watching the Heir. Also, Li Qing sent people off to buy herbs regularly. The shopkeeper isn’t stupid.”

Qi Qingyao: “…”

Surprisingly, she had nothing to say.

Jiang Yeqian entered deep thought for a while before saying, “Most importantly, about that unique building you built in Linquan Village… Although there were few visitors of the wealthy and powerful variety, everyone must know of your existence by now. Many people are of the opinion that it was you who treated and cured Heir Pei, and that you’re the Mysterious Divine Physician Su Hexiao!”

“Why do I feel like I was targeted early on as well?” Qi Qingyao felt herself go cold.

Jiang Yeqian said calmly, “Why do you think Lu Yan insisted on traveling with us multiple times? Why do you think he ate meals together with us at the same table? What do you think he’s after?”

“Was someone in his family poisoned too?” Qi Qingyao tilted her head. An idea appeared in her mind.

Jiang Yeqian was really going to lose his mind when faced with her way of thinking. He said helplessly, “The day you moved in, Lu Yan’s carriage came to the house. Although the Lu family are merchants, they are all very interested in architecture. The Lu family has been looking for Master Li Qinglian for years. What I think is that Lu Yan wants to seek out Master Li Qinglian through you.”

He wanted to look for the Master?

Qi Qingyao fell silent.

Jiang Yeqian reminded her with a furrowed brow, “He’s trying to curry favor with you. Don’t be fooled.”

“No, no, no, I won’t.” Qi Qingyao’s gaze was one of admiration.

Jiang Yeqian gave her a sideways look. “Lu Yan has already figured you out by now, probably. How about the other forces in Qingzhou? Maybe they’re lying in wait for you to go.”

Qi Qingyao felt like her head was going to burst after listening to his words. She asked, bemused, “Then should we go to the banquet tomorrow?”

“I suggest that you go!” Jiang Yeqian said sternly.

Qi Qingyao raised a brow. “You’re saying that we might as well go with dignity as opposed to trying to hide ourselves?”

Jiang Yeqian inclined his head a little. “Exactly. You’re already close to Heir Pei, so you might as well use him to gain access to this banquet and see for yourself the many forces in Qingzhou. Then you can be prepared in the future.” This was why he had not stopped her from getting closer to Heir Pei. If Heir Pei had his own motives, then they could also use him in turn. However, the methods he was thinking of were different from what Qi Qingyao was thinking.

Heir Pei wanted to make her take his side and lure Su Hexiao out. If that was so, he would never succeed in getting rid of Qi Qingyao!

“I only wanted to maintain a low profile,” Qi Qingyao sighed.

Looking at how she slumped on the table dejectedly, Jiang Yeqian said with a grin, “You’ll never succeed in maintaining a low profile after you saved Pei Fengtang.”

Who knew that so many things would happen after she saved a man?

Qi Qingyao glared at him and went to bed. She hugged the kids, who were tired after playing for so long, and took a nap.
