Triplets: Lucky Mommy is a Beautiful Badass
238 Encounter at the Banquet 3
"Does it matter what I'm called?" After Qi Qingyao took a seat, she noticed that there was a piping hot pot of milk tea being cooked in the center. She pointed in its direction to Li Qing. Understanding, he hurriedly scooped a bowl of milk tea for her. He thought that he might as well also scoop up a bowl of milk tea for the master to warm himself up.
Just as they were about to start talking...
The horde of people was already heading over to where they were.
Heir Pei stood up and began addressing them.
"Heir Pei, it's been so long. I'm overjoyed to see you've recovered."
"Heir Pei…"
"Heir Pei!!"
"Heir Pei."
"Heir Pei~~~~"
"Heir Pei——"
Li Qing stood beside Qi Qingyao quietly and introduced the people to her.
The master of the Yangzhou Magistrate, Xie Zhifeng; the grandfather of the master of the military department, Li Yu; the former Pillar of the Country, Han Zhongyi; Earl of Yongding, Situ Deng; the retired auxiliary general, Sun Nanxiong; master of the Jingzhou Magistrate, Chai Wenzheng; and the father of the master of the Ministry of Revenue; Tang Junji ...
Hearing this large bunch of titles and names made Qi Qingyao's head hurt and she eventually told Li Qing to stop talking.
She grabbed the slightly steaming cup of milk tea and took a small sip.
As the group was done exchanging their greetings, they noticed Pei Fengtang's slightly pale complexion, his brows that had begun furrowing, and his eyes that looked like cold stars, and knew they had to leave.
Before everyone left, they sneaked another peek or two at the beautiful woman who had been seated majestically at Pei Fengtang's side.
Ah!
They had not inquired about the woman's identity just now.
Was she Heir Pei's favored concubine?
That was impossible though.
Would he have the ability to satiate a concubine right after he was treated for his poisoning?
Unlikely!
...
After Qi Qingyao drank milk tea and everyone had given Old Master Jiang their warm blessings after he entered, the dishes were served. The atmosphere was lively. Likely due to the poor complexion on Heir Pei's face, nobody dared sit at their table.
One individual, however, did not care for any of that. When he arrived, he immediately noticed their table from afar. There was a beautiful red fur coat hung on the coat rack by the wall, and the table at the side seated Heir Pei and a few others.
Delighted, Lu Yan walked over while carrying his cat in his arms and immediately sat down beside Qi Qingyao. He even greeted Heir Pei with a smile.
"My Lord, you're here."
"Master Lu truly seems to be tracing my whereabouts." Pei Fengtang's eyebrows twitched.
Lu Yan raised his brows and said, "I'm sure my lord heard what happened the night before."
"What happened?" Pei Fengtang asked, pretending not to know.
"Keep pretending. The incident at Lingyun Restaurant has already spread to everyone in Qingzhou City in just one night."
"Oh. Is that so?" Heir Pei purposely pretended to know nothing.
Qi Qingyao continued drinking her second bowl of milk tea as she thought to herself, 'The Jiang's milk tea is pretty good.'
The white cat looked around curiously and realized that the person had not accompanied Qi Qingyao. It felt a little disappointed.
'I have finally made a friend, yet they're not here...
'How disappointing!'
Lu Yan looked at the dishes on the table but was not really interested in them. When he saw Qi Qingyao drinking the milk tea with relish, however, he called for Dong Jing to go and fetch him a bowl of milk tea.
Dong Jing raised his brows. The master had never been a fan of milk tea and only enjoyed cherry tea.
Since when was he interested in milk tea?
Dong Jin fetched the milk tea and Lu Yan had taken a sip of it. As usual, the milk tea was too heavy. He really could not stand it!
He put it back down after taking a sip, then said to Heir Pei, "I was thinking that my lord would have received news of this."
"A murder committed by one of a master's level." Heir Pei intended to exchange information with Lu Yan.
Lu Yan knew this. "But there has never been a scholar in Qingzhou City."
"Or it could be that some of the ranked scholars have come to this capital city." You could never tell.
Qi Qingyao listened to the conversation between the two calmly. She played innocent and continued drinking her milk tea...
However, her ears were perked up like a donkey's.
