When mentioning Shan Xiaoyu, Ouyang Siqing lowered his head!
"Miss Shan is very good, she is a very good woman!"
It was precisely because Shan Xiaoyu was too good that Ouyang Siqing felt guilty!
After these days of getting along!
He clearly felt that Shan Xiaoyu was fond of him, always giving in to him and compromising for him!
No matter what happened, she always thought of him first!
"That's good! Miss Shan is gentle and generous, you must treat her well!" Qin Yun smiled, a hint of bitterness in her eyes!
"Yun'er, but for Miss Shan...!" Ouyang Siqing really wanted to say that he had no feelings for Shan Xiaoyu!
Their current interaction had always been formal and polite!
Of course!!
Shan Xiaoyu often gave him sachets, and even made him several sets of clothes! But he never wore them!
On the contrary, he had never given Shan Xiaoyu any return gift!
Yet, she still treated him warmly!
"Siqing, Miss Shan has good character, she is an excellent match for you, you should cherish her!"
Shan Xiaoyu was a rare good girl!
It was impossible between her and Ouyang Siqing!
It was not bad to have someone to take care of Siqing for her!
"Yun'er, I know Miss Shan is good, but my heart... has no place for her!" Ouyang Siqing clutched his chest, which felt very uncomfortable!
He felt his heart was empty, lacking a sense of belonging!
Shan Xiaoyu was so good, he should be content and happy!
But he just couldn't be happy!
"Feelings are cultivated! If you miss Miss Shan, aren't you afraid of regretting it!"
Ouyang Siqing thought to himself: I won't regret it!
Although he thought this in his heart, he didn't say it out loud. "Perhaps you are right, feelings are cultivated!"
"Yun'er, if...!"
If only you were a woman!
Ouyang Siqing didn't have the courage to say the rest of his words!
"If what?" Qin Yun was very curious!
"Nothing!" Ouyang Siqing lowered his head!
"Tell me about your recent activities. You haven't been in the mansion. What have you been busy with?"
Speaking of this, Qin Yun frowned tightly!
"A few days ago, I went to Qingshui Town in Wenzhou, and some surrounding small towns!"
"Was it because of the refugees outside the city? So you went to investigate the case?" Ouyang Siqing quickly guessed!
Qin Yun nodded. "Those refugees all came from Qingshui Town, Furong Town, and Suyun Town!"
Ouyang Siqing was not a fool. If Qin Yun took such a problem seriously,
It meant that the problem in those three small towns was not small!
"Is there a problem with the local town lords? Or is there an official in our imperial court causing trouble?"
Qin Yun found it effortless to talk to Ouyang Siqing!
He understood with a single hint!
Unlike someone else, who needed a long explanation after saying so much, which was exhausting!
Xie Qianmo: This "someone else" must be referring to me!
"Siqing, you guessed it perfectly right! There is indeed a problem with the town lords there, but these are not the main issues!"
"Those town lords are also taking orders from someone! And that person is Steward Wei in the capital!"
Steward Wei?
Ouyang Siqing began to ponder!
Seeing Ouyang Siqing's solemn expression, Qin Yun asked curiously, "Have you heard of this person? Do you know whose steward he is?"
Ouyang Siqing shook his head. "Among the powerful families in the capital, there is no such person as Steward Wei! Even among the servants in powerful mansions, there are no stewards surnamed Wei!"
None?
How could this be possible!
"Siqing, think carefully, this Steward Wei might just be a servant!"
Ouyang Siqing still shook his head. "From childhood, my grandfather took me to various banquets. I have been to every powerful mansion, and among the stewards, there is really no one surnamed Wei!"
"Are you sure?"
Ouyang Siqing affirmed. "Certain!"
This answer was not what Qin Yun wanted to hear!
She knew Ouyang Siqing was not lying!
Master Ouyang was the dean of Lanshan Academy!
In the capital, the children of all powerful officials would enter Lanshan Academy!
As long as they entered Lanshan Academy, they would definitely be on good terms with Master Ouyang!
The powerful mansions would invite Master Ouyang to all sorts of celebrations, birthdays, and so on!
Ouyang Siqing was Master Ouyang's most beloved grandson, and he loved to bring Siqing with him wherever he went!
Ouyang Siqing would also know some things about the powerful mansions in the capital!!
"Yun'er, do you have a portrait of the Steward Wei you are looking for?"
"Yes, I'll get it. Please wait a moment!"
Qin Yun got up and went to the study to get the portrait!
The portrait was in a drawer, and Qin Yun found it quickly!
Ouyang Siqing had been moving among the powerful families since he was young!
Perhaps he had seen this Steward Wei!
No matter what, she held onto a sliver of hope!
Holding the portrait, she returned to the front hall!
Qin Yun unfolded the portrait and handed it to Ouyang Siqing!
Ouyang Siqing looked at the portrait carefully!
His eyes narrowed slightly!
"I seem to have seen this person, he looks very familiar...!"
Seen him?
Qin Yun seemed to see hope!
"Siqing, do you remember which lord's mansion he belonged to?"
Whose lord's mansion?
Hearing this, Ouyang Siqing became a little troubled!
Looking at the portrait in front of him, he just felt it was familiar!
He seemed to have seen this person, but he couldn't recall where!
It should have been at some lord's mansion, he had caught a glimpse of him, but he couldn't remember!
"Yun'er, I do feel familiar with this person, and I should have seen him, but I can't remember where I saw him!"
Can't remember?
Although Qin Yun was unwilling, she saw hope in Ouyang Siqing!
"This person should be a steward in some lord's mansion. Siqing, think carefully!"
Ouyang Siqing shook his head. "No, this person is not a steward. The rumored identity of Steward Wei is likely false!"httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
"If he were truly a steward, I couldn't possibly not remember!"
"As I said earlier, there is no one surnamed Wei among the powerful families, or this person might not be surnamed Wei at all!"
Qin Yun believed Ouyang Siqing!
The subordinates called this person Steward Wei, perhaps... it was just to mislead others!
"What do we do now? The people I sent out have also disappeared without a trace!"
She thought the matter was almost investigated. All they needed was to return to the capital and find the Steward Wei in the portrait, and the matter would be over!
She never expected that the identity of Steward Wei would be fake!
The enemy was too cunning, deliberately creating the identity of Steward Wei!
"Yun'er, you don't need to worry. I'll go back and think about it carefully!" Saying this, Ouyang Siqing prepared to get up and leave!
"Leaving so soon? Would you like to stay for dinner before returning?"
Ouyang Siqing shook his head. "I just wanted to see you. Seeing that you are alright is enough!"
"Your forehead injury?"
Qin Yun touched her forehead and smiled gently. "It's nothing. It should dissipate by tomorrow!"
Ouyang Siqing nodded!
The redness and swelling indeed seemed less prominent, and he was relieved!
"Yun'er, I'm leaving now. Take good care of yourself!"
"Okay!"
Ouyang Siqing felt a little reluctant but finally turned and left!
Seeing Qin Yun today, his mood had also improved considerably!
The emptiness he felt in the past few days was quietly filled upon seeing Qin Yun!
To have a close friend like Qin Yun in this life!
It was enough!
He should be content!
