Qi Xiuying - Another Transmigrate's Story 46 Chapter 44

"Young miss Old Hu came..." Xiao Hua said while looking at Xiuying who busily checking the month's revenue of Ying Yue.

"Bring him in." Xiuying instructed without removing her attention to the account books.

"Young miss..." the old man from the slum bowed respectfully.

"Elder Hu you came is there anything urgent?" Xiuying looks up seeing the man's appearance far from he usually looks like when she visits the slums. He was wearing a decent attire of Ying Yue's employees and with a stern bearing, people who don't know him would a.s.sume right away that he have the same position as Manager Ba.

"One of our people in Fang Fei courtyard found this." He gave the sachet decorated with white lilies. Xiuying sniffed the faint fragrance from it, her expression changed drastically. "Did you know who gave it to Fang Fei?"

"It was given by Qi Chang's second wife named Lin Hei. I think you noticed that there's a faint smell of opium poppies and salvia which results for the victim to have hallucinations."

"Where is she now?"

"She disappeared and unfortunately we aren't able to trace her."

"Sigh we can't do anything now, although she didn't do us any harm make sure to still be alert to prevent anyone messing with our plans. Make sure Qi Bao is taken care of and won't die before he formally give his token to Qi Bai otherwise rumors will spread that what happened is a scheme of second uncle to gain control of Qi Fu. How's everything in South?"

"Long Guanting investigated the root of the rumors about you and he did find out about the manipulations done by Qi Chang's family on it."

"Have one of our people who knows medicine to watch over Qi Fan, her child shouldn't die. That child will be Long Guanting's shackles if ever he plans to divorce Qi Fan, it is better for them to be together till their last breath. Left Prime Minister Long will make sure that Long Guanting will stay married to Qi Fan as long as his great grandson is born and alive."

"Yes young miss..." Old Hu bid farewell after sharing few updates on the changes they are making in the slums. Xiuying places her right hand on her forehead, managing Ying Yue and slowly manipulating the situation in Qi Fu tires her out. She want for Qi Chang's family except for Qi Lei to pay for their sins as well as Long Guanting but she doesn't want any bloodshed. For her, Fang Fei had it easy for dying it will much better for them to suffer living till they take their own lives.

She looks outside seeing that it will be dark soon, she cleans her desk with the help of Xiao Hua. "Xiao Hua call Xue'er, let's go back home."

"Yes young miss." Xiao Hua left Xiuying's office.

"You really don't have anything else to do that you start meddling in my matters?" Xiuying glared at the handsome figure that appeared in front of her when Xiao Hua closed the door.

"It is only a small matter, it is my duty to help my beloved. How did you know?" Xianyao is amused that Xiuying figured it out upon hearing the report from Old Hu.

"I know you have Eleven who disguises as a courtesan to get information from the n.o.bles and Qi Chang's second wife is said to have a mole near her right eye which is the same with Eleven and her symbol in organization is white lily. And Jun w.a.n.g don't just easily spout nonsense like I am your beloved or people will think that we are in a relationship." Xiuying send disgusted looks at Xianyao which the latter ignores.

"What if I want them to perceive it that way?" He calmly said and added "since it is...what they should know..." he walks near the table where Xiuying is sitting and places his hands on the table. He looks down at her insanely beautiful face and noticed that there are dark circles around her eyes.

"You are so..."

"Handsome? Loveable? Love by you?" He shamelessly asked as he get a few strands of her hair and smell the faint lavender and rose scent that only belonged to her.

"Hateful!" Xiuying stands up and the hair strands that is in Xianyao's hand slipped.

"You know they say that there's thin line between hate and love, I think what you are feeling is the latter."

"You are ridiculous!"

"Only to you my love..."

"Don't you dare mess with my plans again Jun w.a.n.g! I don't want any bloodshed!" Xiuying slammed the door as she leaves her office, it is better to wait for Xiao Hua and Xue'er in the carriage than being alone again in a room with Xianyao.

Ying'er only when people who plans to harm you dies I can feel at ease. You are so naive you don't know that Fang Fei and Qi Fan started planning to hurt you again.
