The guest was at the foot of the mountain. Once the servants received the message, they would naturally let them in. Qing Ju waited at the entrance of the Grand Steward's manor with her fingers intertwined. She seemed a little uneasy.
Not long after, the guest arrived. It was a woman with a graceful figure. She was dressed in plain clothes and wore a black veil bamboo hat. It was hard to see her face clearly, but it was hard to conceal her noble demeanor.
Qing Ju waved her hand to dismiss the servant. She had a complicated expression on her face as she stared at the person behind the veil, as if she was trying her best to recognize the person's face.
The woman wearing the black veil bamboo hat stared at Qing Ju for a while. She nodded slightly and said in a soft voice, "It really is you, Ju Er. It's been many years."
As soon as she said this, Qing Ju's body trembled slightly. She looked outside and didn't dare to say anything else that would arouse suspicion. She stepped aside and extended her hand, "Milord is waiting for you inside. Please!"
The person did not stand on ceremony. She followed behind Qing Ju and went straight to Yang Qing's office.
Yang Qing was standing with his hands behind his back, looking at the painting on the wall. He was deep in thought when he heard the footsteps and slowly turned around.
Qing Mei looked at the woman who walked into the room with a face full of expectation. She stared at the black veil with an inquisitive gaze.
The person stood in the room and looked at Yang Qing. She was quiet for a while, then sighed, "It really is you!" As she said this, she slowly took off the veil bamboo hat, revealing a beautiful face that could topple cities. Her features were like a painting and truly had the charm of autumn water.
As soon as the person's face appeared, Qing Mei and Qing Ju trembled and excitedly bowed, "Your servant greets Milord!"
If Miao Yi saw the person's face now, he would definitely be shocked. It was Dao Sage Feng Beichen's wife, Qin Xi.
Qin Xi raised her hand slightly, "Mei'er, Ju'er, long time no see. No need to be so polite."
The two girls stood up. Qing Ju quickly retreated to the door to prevent outsiders from approaching. Qing Mei quickly poured tea for them. Qin Xi waved her hand, indicating that there was no need to hurry.
Yang Qing pursed his lips. His eyes were also slightly excited, but his expression gradually became tense. He asked in a deep voice, "What are you doing here?"
Qin Xi said, "Yang Guang … No, I should call you Yang Guang. Should I call you Yang Qing? "
Yang Qing asked, "Then should I call you Dao Sage Feng Beichen's wife or Qin Xi?"
When these words came out, whether it was Qing Mei, who had her hands behind her back, or Qing Ju, who was guarding the door, they both turned pale with fright. Dao Sage Feng Beichen's wife? Could it be that Sir already knew the true identity of this mysterious madam?
Qin Xi frowned. "Could it be that you already knew my identity back then?"
Shock flashed in Yang Qing's eyes as he slowly said, "At first, I didn't know. If I had known, I wouldn't have dared to touch you. Later on, as I gradually gained some experience, I had some guesses. The Zhuo River isn't too far from the Exquisite Refinement Sect. A woman with the surname Qin, who is as beautiful as a fairy, was able to build a hut there and live alone without anyone daring to disturb her. I heard that Dao Sage Feng Beichen's wife also has the surname Qin, and she's just as beautiful. Not only that, but she also has a cultivation at the Purple Lotus realm. How could I not make the connection based on your words and actions back then? Only, what I couldn't figure out was that if you really were that Qin Xi, why would you submit yourself to a small figure like me? Only when I probed you just now did I truly confirm this! "
Qin Xi sighed. "Yang Guang … Yang Qing. You're still as smart as ever. This is also the reason why I didn't dare to spend too much time with you back then. If I did, I definitely wouldn't be able to hide it from you. "
Yang Qing sneered. "I'm even more confused now. Why was Madam Feng willing to be with me all those years ago? I don't think I'm a great man who can make anyone fall in love with me at first sight. It's really hard to understand! "
Qin Xi calmly said, "Don't ask about things you shouldn't know. Didn't you hide things from me as well? I always thought that 'Yang Guang' was a cultivator from the Boundless Nation. Who would've thought that he was actually a cultivator from the Celestial Nation? Why did you appear at that place back then?"
Yang Qing replied, "Back then, I received orders from my superiors to go there on a mission. How could an insignificant cultivator from my Celestial Nation dare to reveal his identity in the Boundless Nation? Naturally, I pretended to be a cultivator from the Boundless Nation. Since you aren't willing to tell me your name, I naturally don't dare to tell you! Madam Feng, I don't want to talk about the past anymore. I don't think it'll be beneficial for you to reveal that matter. Let's not do things that harm others and ourselves. What I'm curious about is, why did you directly come here to find me? "
Qin Xi replied, "I was the one who named my daughter. Moreover, the news of Weiwei's marriage has spread like wildfire. How could it not attract my attention?"
Yang Qing shook his head. "You might be able to fool others with such words, but you can't fool me. Even if Weiwei's wedding did attract your attention, it's not like there aren't other people with the same name and surname in this world. How could you be so sure that we are the ones you're looking for? How could you risk losing your reputation just to come and meet us directly? This Jade Capital Peak isn't an ordinary place either. I'm afraid you can't just come and go as you please. Don't you have the slightest bit of apprehension? You must've confirmed it beforehand before you dared to barge in here! "
Qin Xi nodded. "That's right. I did confirm it beforehand. I met Weiwei at the Exquisite Refinement Sect and confirmed it in person."
As soon as she said this, Qing Mei, Qing Ju, and even Yang Qing were stunned. Yang Qing furrowed his brows and asked, "You met Weiwei at the Exquisite Refinement Sect?"
Qin Xi replied, "Speaking of this, I still want to ask you. You should know about the grudge between Miao Yi and the Boundless Nation. Why did you still let Weiwei follow Miao Yi to the Exquisite Refinement Sect to participate in the Transcendent Artifact Tournament? Do you know that if I hadn't intervened in time and separated Weiwei from Miao Yi, Weiwei might not have made it back alive? Is this how you take care of your daughter? "
Yang Qing turned pale with fright. "Weiwei went to the Transcendent Artifact Tournament? This … "He was momentarily dazed, then seemed to recall something. He shook his head and said," As expected, a grown girl can't be kept at home. You even hid such a thing from me! "
Qing Mei and Qing Ju had also guessed it. At that time, Qin Weiwei seemed to have some matters to attend to. She said she was patrolling the Lower Realms, but it turned out that she had followed Miao Yi to the Exquisite Refinement Sect. The two girls felt a lingering fear as they thought about it. The commotion caused by that incident was huge. A gathering of big shots, and a whole bunch of Golden Lotus cultivators died. Not everyone could be like Miao Yi and still be able to stay alive. Now the two of them finally understood why Yang Qing didn't dare to tell Qin Weiwei about his secret plan to leave Miao Yi. He even helped Miao Yi hide such a thing. As expected, a grown girl can't be kept at home.
Actually, to the two girls, Qin Weiwei was like half a daughter to them.
After a moment of melancholy, Yang Qing could only shake his head. There was no point in talking about this now. She was going to marry Miao Yi soon. Was there any meaning in holding Miao Yi accountable? He continued to ask, "I wonder why Madam Feng is here? Don't tell me you want to attend Weiwei's wedding? Your status doesn't seem too appropriate, does it?"
Qin Xi scoffed, "I just want to ask you something. Weiwei is your daughter, after all. How could you bear to let your own daughter become someone else's concubine? Are all the good men in this world dead?"
Yang Qing calmly said, "What does it have to do with you who Weiwei marries? If you truly have her best interests at heart, I advise you to come quietly and leave quietly. Don't bring unnecessary trouble to Weiwei! "
Qin Xi bit her lip, then nodded and said, "I understand now. For an insignificant cultivator to be able to climb to the position of a general manager in a short span of two thousand years, you are indeed capable but not capable. For the sake of a higher position, you didn't hesitate to sell your own daughter, using your own daughter's body in exchange for your own wealth. You really are something!"
When Qing Mei and Qing Ju heard this, they felt that things were not good. These words would definitely anger Master. Qing Mei quickly said, "Madam, it's not like that. Master tried his best to stop it. It was Young Miss who didn't hesitate to go against Master …"
"Shut up! You don't need to explain anything to her! " Yang Qing waved his hand to cut her off. His expression was furious, and he retorted, "Madam Feng, anyone has the right to say such things, but you don't! Do you still remember what you said when you gave birth to Weiwei and gave her a name? "
Qin Xi was silent. Yang Qing sneered and said, "I'm afraid you've forgotten? Let me remind you, you said that we met by chance, that she shouldn't have appeared in this world, so you named her Qin Weiwei. Hehe, that's the end of the grass. In your eyes, she is actually the end of the grass … After three months, you left without saying goodbye. When have you ever fulfilled your responsibility towards this daughter? What qualifications do you have to talk about me? This daughter was raised by me! "
Qin Xi retorted with sarcasm, "Yes, you fulfilled your responsibility as a father. You lied to her that she was an orphan you picked up from the side of the road. Then, you raised her with unquestionable integrity, and with a clear conscience, you let her become someone else's concubine to help you get promoted."
Yang Qing flew into a rage, he waved his hand and pointed. "I didn't tell her who her biological parents were to protect her. Most importantly, I didn't want her to know that her biological mother had an affair with someone else to give birth to her. Being an orphan is better than letting her carry the word 'bastard' in her heart forever. You think I want her to be an orphan?!"
Qin Xi's face instantly paled. The word 'bastard' had indeed dealt a heavy blow to her.
Yang Qing turned his back to her and waved his hand, "Madam Feng, I advise you to leave as soon as possible. You are not welcome here. If you anger Yang Qing, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave once I give the order. Even if I detain you, I doubt you'll have the guts to reveal what happened all those years ago."
Qin Xi said, "Let me meet with Weiwei. I have something to give her!"
Yang Qing didn't even turn his head and decisively refused, "No need! You don't need to have anything to do with Weiwei. I advise you not to see her in the future either. She won't be able to bear your love. If you still have a shred of conscience, then let her marry a man with a clean conscience. Even if she has to become a concubine, let her marry happily. Don't let her husband's family look down on her. I will do my best to help her in the future. You don't have to worry about it! Madam Feng, if you don't leave now, do you believe that I won't detain you and have Feng Beichen come and get her? Miao Yi won't go easy on you! "
Qin Xi couldn't tell what kind of expression she was wearing. Disappointment, sorrow, and regret were all mixed together. She slowly took out her veil and bamboo hat and put it back on. Finally, she took out a storage bangle and placed it on the table beside her. "I have something here. Consider it her dowry."
Yang Qing waved his hand and said, "No need! I will prepare her dowry myself. Take it! "
However, Qin Xi didn't take it. She left the storage bangle there and turned around to leave. Qing Ju quickly caught up to her and sent her off.
