After he was done grumbling, he decided not to think about it any longer.
He made up his mind to go back to sleep, but the night was destined to be a sleepless one.
…
When Qi Qingyao got up early in the morning, she noted that the triplets had already freshened up. After the group had their breakfast, she was about to bring Dabao and Xiaobao into the study to begin the lottery when Steward Zhang rushed over and reported in a flustered manner, “M-missus, the State Preceptor and a party of people have arrived.”
Lu Yan, who was sporting dark eye circles on his face, heard this and his temper immediately flared. “He still has the f*cking audacity to show up!”
Si Jin frowned. “He’s looking to die.”
“Calm down, both of you.” Qi Qingyao cradled her temples and waved her hand. “Steward Zhang, please invite the State Preceptor in.”
‘That guy does nothing but cause hardships all day. I wonder if he came over today looking for more trouble.’
Qi Qingyao asked a servant to send the curious little triplets to the study.
After that, she and the furious Si Jin and Lu Yan went to the side hall from the dining area to wait for their guest’s arrival.
As they waited.
Lu Yan looked gloomy.
There was a murderous smile on Si Jin’s face.
Qi Qingyao, “…”
A short while later.
Steward Zhang led a group of people to the side hall, with Li Ruoxuan at the front.
A few of the servants following behind him were carrying a large chest.
After entering the room, Li Ruoxuan was the first to greet Qi Qingyao.
Qi Qingyao frowned. She glanced at that large chest and raised her eyebrows. “State Preceptor, what is that chest?”
“Zhu Shen, open it,” said Li Ruoxuan airily.
The white cat in his arms, Lu Yan sat by the side and watched Li Ruoxuan quietly.
Si Jin stood at the other side, his hands curled in tight fists, his lips pursed so tightly that one could hang an oil bottle on them.
Zhu Shen opened the chest that had been put down.
The morning sun just happened to shine in from the outside, the light landing on the contents.
The golden light radiating from the chest was dazzling.
Qi Qingyao, “…”
Lu Yan immediately got to his feet. “Huh?”
Si Jin, “—”
The servants in the courtyard who had been watching the excitement unfold were also suddenly shocked, their eyes bulging.
Steward Zhang was so dumbstruck, he almost dislocated his jaw.
Qi Qingyao was relatively calm. Her gaze was deep and serene and her voice carried a trace of anger.
“State Preceptor, why have you brought a chest full of gold to my home?” Could it be to apologize for his wrongs? If that was the case, Li Ruoxuan was quite sincere!
Li Ruoxuan smiled faintly and nodded. He said, “I really like Lady Qi. This chest of gold I brought over today is a betrothal gift. I wish for Lady Qi to marry me.”
Qi Qingyao, “…”
Lu Yan, “…”
Si Jin, “…”
Steward Zhang, “…”
Li Ruoxuan thought Qi Qingyao must not have heard him and repeated, “Lady Qi, I like you, please marry me.”
The tossed stone raised a thousand ripples.
The whole hall seemed to have been splashed with cold water as it fell into a deathly silence on the spot.
There was only the sound of breathing.
The little maids outside the courtyard were so shocked they gave a massive start before they began chattering.
“Oh my god, the State Preceptor just proposed to the lady.”
“How wonderful.”
“The State Preceptor likes our lady.”
“The lady is so lucky!”
“But what will happen to our master if the lady marries the State Preceptor?”
“He’s the state Preceptor, our master can’t do anything since he can’t win against him.”
“…”
Their chattering voices were not loud but they still spilled ruthlessly into the side hall.
When Steward Zhang returned to his senses, he hurried out and glared at those garrulous little maids.
The maids scattered sheepishly.
However, their expressions were beyond excited.
Who was Li Ruoxuan?
He was the State Preceptor and one of the empress’s right-hand men!
