Chapter 119: 63.1

Chapter 63.1 – I Have My Own Discretion

After playing outside with Qi Yang all day, she sent her back to the palace gates. By the time Lu Qipei returned to the Lu Mansion, it was already almost dark.

There were to lanterns hung outside the inelegant gate, with faint lights shining downwards. It only casted a faint halo that illuminated everything hazily, but it also inexplicably felt warm.

Ever since Ah Yu’s death, Lu Qipei no longer had a personal attendant, and she always preferred to go out alone. At this moment, she came back home with brisk steps and used the door knocker herself when she reached the gate.

The clanging sound could be heard from far away in the night, and the gate was soon opened from inside.

Lu Qipei was about to go inside when she inadvertently raised her yes. To her surprise, the one who opened the door was not the gatekeeper, but Qi Bo! Whenever Qi Bo waited for her personally at the gate, something must have happened, and it was usually nothing good!

Knowing this, her good mood instantly disappeared the moment she saw him.

Qi Bo opened the door and invited her in, then closed the door himself and walked with her to the mansion. He paced himself two steps behind Lu Qipei, and before they reached the hall, he said, “Young Master seems to be in a good mood today?”

Hearing this, Lu Qipei kept walking, but she slightly pursed her lips and said, “It’s ok.” It was just ruined by seeing you.

Qi Bo didn’t seem to care about her answer, so he went on, “Young Master must have seen the book in the study. Your marriage with Princess Qi Yang is not far away. I hope you will think twice about where to go.”

Lu Qipei finally stopped when she heard this. She looked back at Qi Bo, and her pure black eyes showed a rare hint of sarcasm, “What does Qi Bo mean by this? Isn’t my marriage to the princess also partly due to your contribution? Do you regret it now and want me to go back on the marriage?”

Qi Bo was taken aback by what she said, but then he felt happy inside. He was right – Lu Qipei had always been a smart person. As long as you gave her some clues, she would be able to piece together the truth. Now that she could say such a thing, she had obviously guessed something and was quite confident about it.

It’s good that she had a guess. Only with a guess would she be able to become cautious and restrain herself.

Qi Bo thought like that, but didn’t reveal anything on his face. He calmly replied, “The marriage was granted through royal decree, going back on it and resisting the royal decree would be a serious crime. This old slave does not dare think that way, and I more so would not dare to trouble the Young Master.”

Lu Qipei didn’t say anything in response, and just turned around and walked forward as if she didn’t wish to continue the topic.

Qi Bo couldn’t help but frown. He wanted Lu Qipei to take advantage of Princess Qi Yang. After seeing how the two get along, he also vaguely noticed the ambiguous relationship between the two. But Qi Bo didn’t believe that the relationship between the two women would be that deep, especially when they naturally came from opposing sides.

In Qi Bo’s mind, Lu Qipei was a smart person. When she understood her identity and situation, she would learn to restrain herself. Even if she couldn’t learn to restrain herself, she would at have some qualms when thinking of their identities and positions.

This way, things would still remain within control.

But now, it seemed that things had gone far beyond his control, and Lu Qipei’s attitude towards Qi Yang was not the same as what he had thought… If she was trapped in love with her, what would their group do? They no longer had another Young Lord that they could choose instead!

When Qi Bo thought about this, he felt his heart sink a little. Fortunately, at this moment, the youth walking in front suddenly said something. His cold voice could faintly be heard, “I know what Qi Bo is worried about, but I have my own discretion. Your worries are unnecessary.”

Lu Qipei rarely talked to Qi Bo like this. She was usually lukewarm, totally unlike the sharp and outspoken Lu Qicheng. Such a young master could be said to be better for the old servant who had been in power for many years. But when Qi Bo heard what Lu Qipei had said, he didn’t feel angry at all, and instead felt somewhat relieved.

If only Qi Bo knew that Lu Qipei’s so-called discretion meant that she had zero discretion in front of Qi Yang. The so-called secrecy meant there was no secrets in front of Qi Yang. Qi Bo would have probably vomited blood on the spot.

Fortunately, he didn’t know. So in the end, he watched Lu Qipei leave with a relieved look.

Qi Bo’s warning seemed to be a prelude – the following days were no longer as calm, and the whole capital’s atmosphere suddenly became tense.

The reason was that on one morning at the end of September, a war report came from the north in a hurry. The messenger had a white cloth tied to his head, which immediately gave a bad feeling to people who saw it. In fact, the news he brought was really a terrible one – Great General Ji, who had been guarding the northern border for decades, had fallen in battle!
