Chapter 395: Testing the Waters 10
“Ready to go,” Lu Yan said determinedly.
Qi Qingyao thought for a moment before asking, “You didn’t get all of them from Qingzhou City, right? Wouldn’t that draw a little too much attention?”
Lu Yan pouted and said, “My family owns a jade mine. I asked Dong Jing to secretly bring over a batch of the Nephrite you wanted. It’s all been done in secret, so no one will know. The expert forger is a master craftsman from Jiangzhou and the kind that can be trusted to be tight-lipped.”
Qi Qingyao, “…” A jade mine. How rich they were. It turned out that the Mr. Moneybags in front of her really was the real deal! He was a young master that owned a family mine!
Qi Qingyao slandered the damned capitalism of it all inside her heart.
She took all the blueprints on the study table and placed them in Lu Yan’s hands.
“These are all the blueprints. You can get the master to engrave the relevant jade tablet according to the blueprints. I’ve already labeled the sizes and dimensions in advance, he just has to make it following these requirements.”
Lu Yan went through the thick stack of blueprints. He was stunned for a while before he said, “They’re all Nephrites. You drew so many blueprints for this! It looks like you’ve gone through such great pains to not allow me to replace out the actual quality and material condition of the jade tablet!!!”
Qi Qingyao made a noncommittal expression then smiled and said nothing.
Lu Yan said, “But that’s fine too. We can try out the trick to test the waters beforehand!”
Qi Qingyao, “…”
Damn, this man was definitely no fool. He knew her plans despite her not sharing them.
Never mind, it was fine.
Lu Yan handed the blueprints over to Dong Jing and allowed him to deal with this matter covertly. Dong Jing did not know what Master was doing, nor did he ask. His instincts told him that Master’s trick was similar to fishing. As for what fish he was trying to catch, that was not something that Dong Jing could pry into.
In the afternoon, Qi Qingyao, who could finally relax after being so busy for the past few days, sat at the dining table and gobbled down her food. Lu Yan walked in and sat in front of her, his brows set in a frown.
“The results of that matter that happened twenty years ago have come out. The one we discussed and I asked my people to investigate.”
“Hmm?” Qi Qingyao raised her eyes to look at him. After thinking for a moment, she said, “The result is that nothing has turned up, right?”
“How—How did you know?” Lu Yan’s eyes were filled with shock.
Qi Qingyao shrugged and said dismissively, “I guessed from the complex expression on your face that was void of any excitement. You got me to guess the result, which means that this matter is giving you a headache. There’s only one result which would give you a headache, and that is that nothing could be found.”
Lu Yan looked at Qi Qingyao, who had lost some weight after her work spell, and said, “No court official died. That doesn’t match up with the details of our discussion back then.”
“It’s not surprising,” Qi Qingyao said unhurriedly.
“Is it not surprising? It’s obviously surprising!” She could still be so calm?! Lu Yan fell into deep thought.
Qi Qingyao said leisurely, “Didn’t I say it back then? My instincts told me that Zhaixing Administration wouldn’t be able to replace anything.”
“Why did you feel that way?” Lu Yan asked in confusion.
Qi Qingyao said with half a smile, “Probably because the Zhaixing Administration also hasn’t found out anything about what happened to me in Qingzhou City five years ago, why I got pregnant, and who the father is. And the Zhaixing Administration also failed to discover my relationship to Su Hexiao and Master Architect Li Qinglian… if that couldn’t be found out, searching for what happened twenty years ago has to be a fruitless endeavor too.”
The corner of Lu Yan’s mouth twitched. “Do you know that you’re just like a mystery?”
Qi Qingyao said with interest, “I also think that I’m just like a mystery.”
