Chapter 201.1 - Eloping with someone

Thanks to Dillycat for the chapter (2/2) 💓💓

*

If two countries want to steady their relationship, the best method was for one to conquer the other, the second best would be through a marriage alliance.

The strength of Dongyu country and Xiliang countries were similar so no one could conquer the other, therefore, a marriage alliance was the best option.

“Ah?” Thousand Face was astonished, “Then who is the target for the marriage alliance?”

“Xiliang country should be sending over their third princess …” But thinking of the person who was sent away to Xiliang country as a marriage partner for their prince, Lou Qingwu’s eyes slightly narrowed.

“Don’t worry too much about Xiliang country’s people. Thousand Face, with Su Gelao on that side, what’s happening?”

“The right prime minister has already started to make a move, he’s found some previous students on Su Gelao and they want to hatch a plot to frame Su Gelao for some crimes, forcing him to retire.”

“En.” Lou Qingwu’s eyes narrowed.

Su Gelao was already growing old and there wasn’t a need for him to truly stay at the capital, a place filled with so many quarrels.

This was because of her so she wouldn’t allow for Su Gelao’s reputation to be tarnished. “Go send someone to stop them and change those framed crimes to something else. Send someone to protect Su Gelao’s people and also … warn Su Gelao to retire early first. After he leaves, help him arrange for his matters.”

“Yes, this subordinate will go do that now.”

After deciding what to do, Lou Qingwu then rubbed her forehead.

Gaining Xiahou Qing’s trust was the first step and now the second step, was to find where he had placed his thirteen close subordinates and -- kill them all.

At that time, if Xiahou Qing wanted to fight back, he would have no such chances!

The night was cold like water, on Dongzhun river, a few leisure boats cruised down as beautiful songs floated from them.

On one leisure boat, Lou Qingwu wore a deep purple male outfit, her long hair tied up with a jade crown on her head.

It made her look handsome and dignified as her eyes lowered, drinking her cup of wine in a single gulp.

Then she looked at the man who was also burrowing his head down and drinking alcohol, “For the manor master to find this Mu, is it just for drinking?”

“Of course not.” The man across from her wore an ordinary looking gown, his face was slightly indifferent and plain but his eyes were sharp and eagle-like.

When he looked at a person, it was like he could see through their most inner hearts.

His whole aura was impressive and hard to ignore, it even allowed for people to ignore his face.

“Then what is it?” Lou Qingwu raised a brow, it was hard to see this man lose his composure like this.

“This manor master does have something I can’t think through.” He said lazily as he lifted up a cup, he took another swig as his brows furrowed.

“Oh?” Lou Qingwu shot him a look, “Do you want to tell me?”

The man glanced at her, “What do you think?”

If he didn’t want to tell her, why did she think that he’d run all the way over here from his manor? Was he that bored?

“Alright, tell me what’s the big thing.” Lou Qingwu’s manner was surprisingly lax, her mouth curled up in a smile.

“That …” The man seemed to not be able to find the words. But he couldn’t complain to outsiders or his subordinates, so he could only find this fox-like sly person to complain to.

After half a moment, his lips moved, “My fiancee has … run off.”

“Pfft!” Lou Qingwu nearly spat out her wine.

She broke down and started laughing hard, making the man opposite of her so angry his whole face tightened coldly.

“Enough of you. This manor master came here to discuss this with you, and not for you to laugh at me!”

“Alright, alright, alright, I won’t laugh any more. Are you sure that she’s run away and not eloped with someone else?”

“As if she would dare!” Running away was enough, but for her to dare to elope with someone else?

Did she believe that he’d drag her back and break both of her legs, before tying her up inside the manor?

“I just think it’s possible. Who told you to make it so that your outside image of was a stinky nouveau-riche,” She clicked her tongue, “But I should say, as the master of the number one manor under the sky, exactly what woman would let go of such a golden master, running away from marriage?”

“....” Leng Yichen was so angry he didn’t say anything, his face scrunched up.

After half a moment, he spat out a person’s name, “Xiliang country’s seventh princess, Xiliang Li.”

TL note:  

Leng Yichen is adorable. The seventh princess is the worst.
