Chapter 255: The Third Crock of Gold 11
“Aren’t you going to invite over for a look?”
“If Heir Pei so wishes, you can co.” Qi Qingyao was in a good mood and so did not reject him.
Since Heir Pei was tagging along.
Naturally, they took the carriage.
Heir Pei boarded the carriage first before Qi Qingyao and Si Jin followed suit. After Jiang Yeqian put the two children in the carriage, he himself went and took a seat at the driver’s seat with Li Qing. Pei Fengtang did not think he was stupid. He could keenly feel that the man with the ox-head mask was not a man of few words, but was just avoiding talking to him. This was because Li Qing had reported hearing argunts in the house a few tis…and the voices had been rather loud. The voice did not belong to Si Jin and was a little more unfamiliar, which ant that the person speaking was the ox-head man. However, this man had not spoken a single word with them. The quiet observation of the guards in the courtyard reported that there was very little verbal communication between this person and Si Jin as well. Could it be that this person only talked to Qi Qingyao and the three little children?
Why was that the case? What was the relationship between the two?
Li Qing was seated beside Jiang Yeqian at the head of the carriage as he drove forward.
Li Qing sneaked a glance at the man in the ox-head mask.
The Lord Heir had instructed that, if he were to have individual interaction with the man, he should take the initiative to communicate with him and find out about his origins and identity through hints from their dialogue.
The carriage drove forward slowly.
Li Qing began trying his hardest to start a conversation.
“Brother, what kind of place is your hotown?”
Li Qing was sowhat anxious after he asked this.
In the end, the man did not answer after a short pause.
Li Qing could only turn to look at the ox-head masked man. He had heard voices from the house a few tis, which ant that he was not deaf.
So, why was he not answering him?
“Brother, we’re two n driving a carriage. A little conversation to relieve boredom wouldn’t hurt.”
Li Qing pretended to be friendly when he said this.
The ox-head man turned and glanced at him, but still said nothing.
Just like a thousand-year-old iceberg that never lts.
“Brother, why do you distance yourself from others?” asked Li Qing as he laughed and joked.
The ox-head man sat there unmoving.
He was ignoring him entirely.
Li Qing felt a significant blow to his dignity from this and faltered a little. “Did I offend you sohow? Speak then, and I will change. Is that alright?”
Still, no answer.
Li Qing sighed. “Dear old brother, you… are truly boring!”
He thought these words would be able to stir up so emotions in the other person.
In the end, however… The words were like stones sinking into the vast sea; his efforts were futile.
Regardless, Li Qing was a rather dignified person. He had been trying to make conversation for a while without any response. Although he rembered the Lord Heir’s instruction, he could only bemoan his inadequacy at the present task.
If he were to continue forcing a conversation with this rock, he was afraid he would lose his temper after a while.
The scenario of Li Qing’s warm feelings being t with cold rebuke naturally reached the inside of the carriage. Everyone had been chatting the mont they got onto the carriage, but because the situation outside was so hilarious, Qi Qingyao stopped talking for a mont and perked up her ears to listen in on what was happening outside until it finally beca silent.
Heir Pei smiled faintly.
“Oh Yaoyao, where did you find that servant of yours? His deanor is far too cold.”
Qi Qingyao smiled slightly. She realized that Heir Pei was curious about Jiang Bai and had sent Li Qing to feel him out.
His latest comnt was once again to feel her out.
“I picked up these two treasures.” Qi Qingyao did not feign deafness this ti. Instead, she answered him openly.
“Picked up?” Heir Pei was a little speechless at this description.
How did one simply pick up soone who looked like Si Jin?
