Yu Qi sighed lightly and said to Shen Wangyu,"Lady Qiu Di's thoughts are crystal clear. It's not hard to guess that Jiang Sheng's father, the Prefectural Governor of Lishui, will not let this matter rest.”
"What do I mean? Take Jiang Sheng as a hostage…"
Yu Qi suddenly felt something and turned to look at Xie Qiudi,"Miss Xie, are you listening?"
Xie Qiudi and Yu Qi looked at each other, and a blush crept up her cheeks. Fortunately, Yu Qi did not see it because of the white veil.
Xie Qiudi felt that she had never been more embarrassed than that moment in her entire life.
When he saw the youth speaking with confidence and composure, and actually looked at his side profile, he was actually…stunned.
Yu Qi looked at the cold and shy Young Miss Xie and smiled, but he did not mind.
He turned his head and said softly," I just said that I can negotiate with the Lishui County Governor if I take Jiang Sheng as a hostage.”
"Young Master Yu, you're planning to let Jiang Sheng go?" Xie Qiudi asked.”
Yu Qi looked at Xie Qiudi curiously and asked,"Miss Xie, why would you have such thoughts?”
She didn't know why, but when she heard that Yu Qi was going to let Jiang Sheng go, she felt a little sad. Was she worried that she wouldn't be able to get revenge? It seemed to be, no, it must be.
Yu Qi didn't know why Xie Qiudi, who had always been cold and graceful, had tears in her eyes.
Yu Qi laughed." Miss Xie, you've misunderstood me. When have I ever said that I would let Jiang Sheng off?"”
He had to eliminate all evil. This was his principle!
Seeing Yu Qi's explanation, Xie Qiudi restrained her last bit of sadness and asked,"Then what does Young Master Yu think?"
I saw that Xie Qiudi was about to cry just now, but now, her tears were actually suppressed. I was also secretly curious. Is this a special body constitution of ghosts, or is it a natural skill of women?
Just as Yu Qi was explaining his plan to Xie Qiudi, the Lishui County Governor's Manor was already in an uproar.
As soon as Jiang Ping, the governor of Lishui County, returned to the back residence from the government office, he heard a woman crying.
Jiang Ping was in his forties. He was tall and straight, with a tall hat and a broad belt. He looked elegant. When he heard the familiar crying of the woman, he frowned.
He walked unhurriedly to the backyard. Before he could stand firm, a beautiful woman pounced in front of him and grabbed his sleeve, crying,"Old Master, you have to save Sheng 'er.”
"What's the matter?" Jiang Ping scolded."You're in a hurry and pulling. What's wrong?"”
The beautiful woman was Jiang Ping's wife, Qian Shi. Qian Shi's eyes were covered with phoenix tail patterns, and they were already red and swollen. She said sadly,"Something happened to Sheng 'er."
Xiao Cui was a pretty girl of sixteen or seventeen years old, and she was the personal maid of Madam Qian.
Xiao Cui hurriedly knelt down and said," Reporting to Old Master, Young Master and Lady Yun brought a group of soldiers with them this morning. They said that they went to the Xie family to capture someone. They haven't returned yet." And just now, someone sent a message to the manor, saying that Young Master…was trapped in the Xie residence.”
After hearing Xiao Cui's words, Jiang Ping said angrily,"This unfilial son. I told him to have less contact with that Lady Yun, but he didn't listen. Now, he actually dares to mobilize the prefecture soldiers. How audacious and lawless.”
Mrs. Qian's eyes were filled with tears, and her makeup was ruined. When she heard this, she said angrily,"Why are you angry at your own people instead of trying to save your son?”
When Jiang Ping saw his wife's protective tone again, the veins on his forehead bulged. He shouted sternly,"If you didn't spoil that bastard son in every way, how would this happen?”
"Jiang Ping, you have to speak with your conscience. You're usually so focused on your career that you don't care about your son at all.”
When Mrs. Qian heard Jiang Ping's scolding, her eyebrows rose and she immediately refused to let go.
Jiang Ping suddenly felt a headache. His face was gloomy as he reached out and called someone over. He instructed,"Go and call Commandant Sun over."
Not long after, a burly young officer jogged to the backyard.
The young officer had a solemn expression as he cupped his hands and replied,""Milord, may I know why you have called me?”
"Do you know why Young Master sent troops to the Xie family?" Jiang Ping asked.”
Sun Li thought for a moment and replied,"I heard Captain Zhang say that he wants to capture three thieves who passed by Lishui County."”
"What thief?" Jiang Ping said coldly. I still don't know the temper of that unfilial son. Why would he be interested in some passing thief?”
A trace of hesitation flashed across Sun Li's face. He gritted his teeth and said honestly,"Sir, I heard that Young Master has taken a fancy to one of the three women.”
Jiang Ping snorted coldly and didn't bother to investigate the reason. He directly ordered,"Quickly bring people to surround the Xie residence and capture those three people. You must bring Young Master back safely.”
A look of loss flashed across Sun Li's eyes. However, he still bowed and left with his men in a hurry.
After Jiang Ping gave the order, he was still a little depressed. He entered the house, drank a cup of tea, and said angrily,"Look at the good son you taught."
Madam Qian looked resentful, but she was still worried."Old Master, will Sheng 'er be alright?”
Jiang Ping pondered for a moment and said,"It shouldn't be anything. I've already informed Commandant Sun to go and receive him. Commandant Sun, your martial arts are very strong. You will definitely be able to bring that bastard back."”
Madam Qian covered her chest and muttered,"That's good, that's good."”
"However, this unfilial son is usually unrestrained and doesn't know how to behave. It's good to let him suffer a little.”
Jiang Ping then reprimanded him.
When Mrs. Qian heard Jiang Ping's words, she felt relieved. She knew that since Jiang Ping said so, Sheng 'er must be fine.
The rain gradually grew heavier. Outside Lishui Commandery City, Qingxu Temple.
A pheasant phantom turned into a gorgeous woman. She stepped onto the bluestone steps and gently knocked on the temple door.
As there was no response from knocking on the door, the woman's knocking became more and more urgent. The gorgeous woman's brows revealed a faint expression of pain, and wisps of black smoke rose from her snow-white lotus arms.
This woman was Lady Yun, or perhaps the Yin Spirit of the monster cultivator, Pheasant Spirit.
Finally, just as the pheasant spirit was about to enter the Qingxu Temple.
The door creaked open.
A little Daoist child with delicate features, red lips, and white porcelain hair stuck his head out to look.
Yi Qing swept a glance at the woman in front of him. Seeing that her hair was messy and her face was pale, he asked softly,"Female benefactor, this humble temple will no longer receive visitors these days. Please return early.”
Seeing that Yiqing was about to close the door, the gorgeous woman frowned and hurriedly said,"Go and tell your Abbey Dean that an old friend is here.”
