‘That’s Lu Yan.
‘He is the young owner of the Senluo Chamber of Commerce.
‘Speaking of which, didn’t he lose this house to Qi Qingyao?
‘Why is he still staying here?’
The Jin family was suddenly filled with suspicions but they did not dare to ask more.
They thought that since Lu Yan was still living here, they would be offending Lu Yan if they were to stay here. After taking a glance at the old lady who was planning to take the place for herself, the Jin family gulped and pretended to be occupied. They told the old lady that they will be leaving first as they have some business to attend to.
The old lady did not care about them at all.
The Jin family left frantically as if there were wolves chasing them from behind.
After they were out of the Qi Residence, the youngest son of the Jin family said with dissatisfaction, “Why are we leaving?”
“Because Qi Qingyao is not the only person who lives there. Lu Yan lives there as well.” The old master of the Jin family spoke in a very serious manner.
The youngest son asked again with a puzzled expression, “So what if he is there, isn’t that still Qi Qingyao’s house? We can definitely take advantage of it.”
“You idiot!”
“…”
“Lu Yan’s presence indicates that the Lu family is Qi Qingyao’s backer. Lu Yan is a member of the Senluo Chamber of Commerce, and our Jin family cannot afford to offend him.”
“Lu Yan? Hahaha, recently it has been rumored that he is a eunuch.”
“Even if he really is a eunuch, if he gets angry, he can make our Jin family disappear from Qingzhou City overnight!”
“…”
After listening to his grandfather’s words, the Jin family’s youngest son dared not say anything anymore.
The carriage drove toward the West side.
After thinking for a long time, the youngest son then asked again, “The old lady…”
“The madam belongs to the Qi’s family. She is related to our own madam, but she has passed away. Now… if she can take down Qi Qingyao, we’ll just go ahead and get close with her again. However, with Lu Yan as Qi Qingyao’s backer, I think the madam would probably not be able to gain the upper hand.”
Old Master Jin’s face became more and more serious.
…
After the Jin family left, Madam Wu felt a little uneasy.
‘Qi Qingyao is able to quickly gain a foothold in Qingzhou City, and she has so many servants in the house. She must have her ways.’ After thinking for a moment, Madam Wu quickly stepped forward to speak to the old lady.
“Madam, I’m afraid this isn’t a very good idea.”
“What do you mean not a good idea?! I’m her grandmother, she dares have a problem with me?” The old lady sat in the huge side hall. Her eyes narrowed as she smiled.
She reached out and touched the beautiful agarwood table. She thought lovingly, ‘These are all riches!’
She could also enjoy these luxuries in the future.
“…” Seeing that the old lady was being stubborn, Madam Wu gave Qi Boli a glance.
Looking at the old lady, Qi Boli knew that she was blinded by everything in front of her. It would be useless to say anything now.
The old lady was sitting on the soft couch. Looking all high and mighty like a God, she said confidently, “That girl, she’s just a little girl, what does she even know! I’ll make her put this mansion under my name in a while.”
Hearing this, Madam Wu was completely stupefied.
Steward Zhang who was standing by the side lowered his head out of secondhand embarrassment.
He did not say a word.
The old lady said again, “I am her grandmother, this is what I deserve.”
Qi Boli, “…”
The old lady got up and glanced at the beautiful courtyard. She could not be more delighted. She said emotionally, “Our Qi family will also be able to become the largest family in Qingzhou City in the future.”
Madam Wu, “…”
The Qi family could never produce a child of this level.
The old lady was indeed… too narcissistic.
…
…
Qi Qingyao and her posse rode inside a carriage. They left the hot spring villa, and rushed all the way home. Qi Qingyao was smiling all the way back.
Finally, they reached the gate of Qi residence.
Qi Qingyao got out of the carriage and happily brought the kids down.
Si Jin then picked up Erniu who was a little sleepy.
Dabao and Xiaobao, on the other hand, were quite awake. Rubbing their eyes, they followed Qi Qingyao and walked through the gate.
As soon as Qi Qingyao stepped through the gate, she noticed that the guards had strange expressions.
Lu Yan noticed it as well. He asked, “What’s the matter?”
As Steward Zhang heard that the master and the young mistress were back, he rushed to the front door and bowed immediately. He reported, “Young mistress, your family is here.”
“My family? I have no family,” Qi Qingyao said bluntly.
Steward Zhang had cold sweat on his head.
With a little nervousness in his voice, he said, “There was an old lady who claimed to be your grandmother. She entered the mansion forcibly and then occupied your courtyard.” The old lady had already laid down her luggage.
“An old lady?”
Could she be… the grandmother of the original Qi Qingyao who lived in Qingzhou City a few months prior.
With a cold smirk on the edges of her mouth, Qi Qingyao stared at Steward Zhang with a calm expression.
“Steward Zhang, you are one of us, right?”
“Yes, young mistress.”
Steward Zhang thought, ‘Could it be that letting them in was… a wrong decision?’
Qi Qingyao said nonchalantly, “I made you the steward, and you just simply allowed a random old lady to enter, more so occupy my compound?”
Steward Zhang knelt immediately; he hung his head low. “Young mistress, I’m sorry, please punish me.”
Qi Qingyao said, “I’ll set the punishment aside first. Let’s go. Show me the way. I want to see who’s the blind person who dares to pretend to be my grandmother and seize my property.”
Qi Qingyao did not plan for the kids to get involved in this matter.
She immediately instructed the maids to take them into the courtyard to rest.
She then told the young male servant to throw the old lady’s luggage out the gate.
After that, she brought Si Jin and Steward Zhang along and walked toward the side hall.
Lu Yan was not interested in her family matters, so he went back to the courtyard to rest first. Before leaving, he ordered Dong Jing to look after her and listen to her orders. If anything went wrong, he would be killing them right away. Their corpses would be tied to a stone and be thrown into Qingyang Lake at night!
Dong Jing accepted the order and quickly followed Qi Qingyao.
Qi Boli and Madam Wu were sitting in the side hall with the old lady. The two of them were also smitten by the big house, but they dared not think more about it.
Facing this mansion, Madam Wu felt extremely complicated.
She grew more and more suspicious. With those two artifacts, it likely meant that she was… no ordinary person.
Otherwise, Qi Qingyao, who had become smarter, had no right to get so good overnight.
Just as the three of them were drinking tea, the door of the side hall was suddenly kicked open.
A young lady in black came in. The lady was grim, and her expression was cold. The shadows reflected in her eyebrows hid a deep and unreadable expression.
The old lady was also startled by the people who came in. The bowl of tea in her hand fell directly to the ground and broke into pieces.
The tea was flowing all over the floor.
She looked at the young lady who came in with surprise.
The young lady was indeed… very similar to their Qi Qingyao.
However, the Qi Qingyao back then was unintelligent. She also had a silly laugh which made her look dumb. However, the young lady in front of her was different. She had a natural lofty and noble aura. When she was not smiling, her gaze was sharp and her eyes were uncompassionate!
She also had a touch of fierceness.
This shocked the old lady a little.
This…
Was she really the Qi Qingyao from their family?
Qi Boli and Madam Wu were also taken aback. They had not seen each other in a while, and Qi Qingyao had changed yet again. Her aura had become stronger and she was more difficult to approach!
Qi Qingyao entered the door and scanned around, making sure that there were only three uninvited guests.
She did not even look at Qi Boli and Madam Wu.
She only fixed her gaze on the old lady who was sitting on the soft couch.
Qi Qingyao pursed her lips tightly.
In her deep and dark eyes, there was an atrocious look.
“Who the hell are you?”
Although the old lady was shocked, she quickly reacted. She took the initiative to get close, and said with a smile, “Oh Qingyao, I’m your grandma.”
Qi Qingyao’s eyes were dark. She instructed Steward Zhang, “Come, drag her out, I don’t know who she is.”
Qi Boli and Wu were surprised. Qi Qingyao was truly no longer her previous self.
The old lady did not expect Qi Qingyao to not show her any respect. She got off the soft couch and pointed at Qi Qingyao’s nose, “I’m your grandma! Qi Qingyao, how can you not recognize me?! Open your damn eyes and look clearly.
“You don’t acknowledge who your ancestors are when you get rich. You really are an ungrateful b*tch!
“Has your conscience been eaten by dogs?”
