The Prodigal Son

In the afternoon, Qin Yu took the three women to the capital city for a good stroll.

As soon as they returned to the manor, Old Tu came up to them. "Young Master, an hour ago, someone threw a letter into the manor."

As he spoke, Old Tu handed a letter to Qin Yu.

The letter had four large characters on it.

This letter is addressed to the Marquis of Qin.

Qin Yu, out of curiosity, immediately opened the letter.

The content on the letter was also very simple:

Bei Qi intends to assassinate Qin Hou while he is on his way to Dingzhou; be very careful.

That's all.

There is nothing superfluous.

The moment Xu Wan saw the contents of the letter, a cold glint flashed in her eyes.

Qin Yu quickly put the letter away, frowned, and asked Lao Tu, "Do you know who threw it in?"

"have no idea."

Old Tu shook his head slightly. "The letter was tied to a small stone and thrown in. When the guards of the manor chased after it, they didn't see a single person."

"Okay, I understand! You can go ahead and get busy!"

Qin Yu waved his hand and led the three women toward his courtyard.

Upon learning that Bei Qi intended to murder Qin Yu, the three women's faces fell.

Qin Yu, on the other hand, acted as if nothing had happened, even chuckling as he comforted the three women: "It's not like you just found out Bei Qi wants my life, don't act like it's some huge, earth-shattering thing..."

What a big deal!

Putting aside the fact that he threatened Rong Jiu to force her to cure his congenital meridians, just look at his "talks" with Yan. Anyone in Bei Qi who isn't stupid can guess that what he was talking about with Yan was definitely something that was detrimental to Bei Qi.

It's perfectly normal for the people of Beiqi to want their own lives!

Moreover, this is a good thing!

This shows that Bei Qi was successfully deceived by them.

Xu Wan's expression softened slightly, but she frowned and asked, "Who do you think gave you this letter? Is it possible that it was Jiang Ci?"

"Jiang Ci?"

Luo Qingyi looked at Xu Wan in surprise, "Why did you think of her?"

"It could very well be Jiang Ci."

Qin Yu picked up the thread, "The way they reminded me is clearly because they don't want me to know their identity! If they were an ordinary person, there would be no need for them to hide it."

Of course, it's also possible that they were spies from the State of Chu.

But without a doubt, the other party's identity must be something that cannot be revealed.

"Yes! That's what I think too."

Xu Wan nodded and said, "It's not surprising that Bei Qi wants your life! But the matter of you going to Dingzhou was only decided in court today, and someone reminded you this afternoon. There's a very high possibility that it was done by someone on their side..."

If you didn't know Jiang Ci's identity, this person would be really hard to guess.

But since they already knew Jiang Ci's identity, she became the prime suspect.

"Jiang Ci already knew about this yesterday!"

Luo Qingyi said softly, "When she came to the manor yesterday, the Thirteenth Young Master had already told her about it."

A glint flashed in Xu Wan's eyes. "Then it's even more likely to be her!"

"Shouldn't she be on Bei Qi's side? Why did she do that?"

A hint of doubt flashed in Nan Que'er's eyes. "Could it be that she has fallen in love with our man?"

Xu Wan glanced at Qin Yu and said seriously, "It's possible that he has developed genuine feelings, or it's possible that he is using this to secure a way out for himself and his family."

As a member of the Treasure Mirror Bureau, she had seen far too many things like this.

Often, when they are investigating a case, people on the other side will secretly leak information to them in the hope that they will receive lenient treatment if they are caught.

However, if the other party is indeed Jiang Ci, she thinks the former is more likely.

Or perhaps, both!

She is a woman too.

Jiang Ci's feelings for Qin Yu may have been partly feigned, but there should also have been some genuine affection involved.

"Alright, stop guessing."

Qin Yu stopped the three women and smiled, "Since the other party doesn't want us to know his identity, we don't need to find out right away! If it's Jiang Ci, she'll bring it up herself when we arrest her."

Right now, there's no need to waste too much energy on this matter.

The three women exchanged a silent glance and nodded gently.

After dinner, Xu Wan declined Qin Yu's offer to stay and left the residence.

Inside the room, the servants had already prepared a fragrant bath for Qin Yu.

Qin Yu was soaking in the bathtub, but his mind was already thinking about the things he needed to arrange for tomorrow.

Well, there aren't too many things to arrange at home.

The family business doesn't have to function without Luo Qingyi.

We should definitely check out Tiangongfang...

"Squeak..."

Just as Qin Yu was thinking, the door was pushed open.

Qin Yu turned around and saw Luo Qingyi walking in gracefully, and she also locked the door behind her.

Seeing Luo Qingyi's actions, a smile flashed across Qin Yu's lips.

This girl probably thought they were about to part ways!

Hey!

Tonight is probably going to be another sleepless night!

While Qin Yu was lost in thought, Luo Qingyi raised her slender hand and slowly removed her clothes, revealing her fair body.

Qin Yu desperately suppressed his laughter and quietly admired the beautiful scenery before him.

"What are you looking at! It's not like you can't stand it."

Luo Qingyi carefully put away her clothes and walked towards Qin Yu with a hint of shyness.

"I can never get enough of it!"

Qin Yu revealed his signature wicked smile.

Luo Qingyi bit her thin lips and slowly walked to the bathtub.

Just as she was about to step into the bathtub, Qin Yu suddenly stood up, swept her up in his arms, and pulled her into the tub, asking with a wicked grin, "Looks like I won't be getting a good night's sleep tonight?"

Luo Qingyi's face flushed slightly. She sat directly on Qin Yu's lap in the bathtub, pressed her body against his chest, and whispered in his ear, "Thirteenth Young Master, it's not hard to get a good night's sleep, is it? Just make sure you feed me well."

"Didn't you feed me?"

Qin Yu stared at Luo Qingyi with a smile, teasing her.

"Young Master Thirteen is so powerful, I alone cannot feed him enough!"

Luo Qingyi's eyes were alluring, "Let me help Thirteenth Young Master bathe first..."

As she spoke, Luo Qingyi began to wriggle restlessly in Qin Yu's arms.

This kind of bathing method?

Qin Yu's lips curled up. "I'll help you take a bath too."

"don't want!"

Luo Qingyi pressed down on Qin Yu's hand, her watery peach blossom eyes filled with a hint of dazedness, and she gently parted her lips: "Let me serve Thirteenth Young Master well first, then Thirteenth Young Master can feed me properly..."

As she spoke, Luo Qingyi stuck out her tongue and licked her lips, her face displaying a seductive expression.

Oh!

Good heavens!

She's so good at it!

"good!"

Qin Yu, panting heavily, forcibly controlled his claws, slowly closed his eyes, rested his head on the edge of the bathtub, and quietly enjoyed Luo Qingyi's service.

Luo Qingyi assumed that she would soon be parting ways with Qin Yu again, so she put all her passion into it. Rather than helping Qin Yu bathe, she was more like teasing him.

Qin Yu felt incredibly comfortable in every cell of his body, and the flame burned even brighter.

He knew that tonight would definitely be another sleepless night...
