The two servants sent by Qi Yang failed to catch up with Lu Qipei at all, and she disappeared in the crowded street almost in the blink of an eye.

In fact, it wasn't that the servant couldn't find anyone on the street, but that Lu Qipei had long since disappeared from the crowded street—she chased the thief through the crowd, and turned into a secluded alley beside the street.

The thief in front seemed to have sensed that there was someone chasing him behind him, but he didn't panic. He kept running at the same speed as before and ran deep into the alley, revealing the jade purse in his hand for Lu Qipei to see from time to time.

This is an obvious means of attracting people. Of course, Lu Qipei can't fail to see it after he has been in Dali Temple for many years.Even because of being an official in Dali Temple, she has developed a pair of sharp eyes in the past few years.So she chased after her, not because she was seduced by the thief who had leaked out of her purse and jade pendant, but because she vaguely recognized the person in front of her, and then guessed the mastermind who lured her out.

The two chased each other in the alley, once Lu Qipei slowed down, the people in front would also slow down, and vice versa.Until the two of them turned their heads in the alley extending in all directions, and it was impossible for anyone to follow behind them, the people in front finally stopped.

Lu Qipei also stopped in his tracks, his breath slightly disturbed, but he squinted his eyes and looked around calmly.

The person in front turned around, his ordinary face even somewhat rigid.He turned around, but saluted Lu Qipei, and at the same time offered the purse and jade pendant with both hands: "Young master, I offended you. It is Qi Bo who wants to see you."

Just as he finished speaking, the door of a house in the alley opened, and a familiar figure of Qi Bo appeared in front of Lu Qipei—Since the trip to Hequ County more than half a year ago, Qi Bo has rarely seen Lu Qipei .There seems to be more estrangement between the two, but when Lu Qipei saw Qi Bo again today, he suddenly found that he had aged a lot in the past six months.

Still can't see it, can't let it go.

Of course, Qibo's hatred has never been personally experienced by others, and they can't judge anything.Just looking at how he has kept the family business for the Lu family all these years, and raised two generations of Lu family descendants one after another, one can see that his loyalty to the Lu family cannot be doubted.

Lu Qipei had the most complicated feelings about Qi Bo, she walked forward and took back her jade pendant, then said: "I don't have much time, Qi Bo wants to say something, let's talk as soon as possible. "

Qi Bo stepped aside to open the door, Lu Qipei hesitated for a moment, then followed in.

As soon as the door was closed, silence returned to the alley.The person who brought Lu Qipei here didn't follow the door, but he didn't leave either.As soon as he dodged, he didn't know where he hid, but he was guarding this small courtyard in the dark.

This is just a small courtyard, after Lu Qipei entered the door, he followed Qi Bo directly into the main room.There was not even a charcoal fire in the room, and it was so cold in this weather that Lu Qipei even subconsciously closed his clothes.

Qi Bo turned his head and looked at her, the air around him was colder than the temperature in the room: "Young Master, you are so mean, I didn't know you were so cruel!"

Lu Qipei wrapped himself tightly in the fur coat, raised his brows slightly when he heard the words, and asked back as if he didn't know anything: "What does Uncle Qi mean by that?"

Qi Bo stared at Lu Qipei for a while, but the latter's eyes were clear, as if he was still as innocent and harmless as when he was young.He looked at her for a long time, but he didn't know if she was as clear as before, or if she was hiding her deep thoughts from his eyes.

After a while, it seemed that he couldn't tell anything from Lu Qipei, Qi Bo finally took out an envelope from his pocket and handed it over.Lu Qipei took it over and took a look. Unsurprisingly, what he wrote was about Beirong, and he knew more about it than she knew—Xie Yuan was defeated. He avenged the three princesses by dismembering them!

Lu Qipei's heart skipped a beat after reading it, and a surge of ecstasy rushed into her heart instantly, which almost made her unable to control her expression at the moment.But fortunately in the end, she still held back the corners of her lips, turned her eyes slightly, and said calmly, "So?"

Qi Bo narrowed his eyes and looked at her suspiciously: "You didn't do it?"

Lu Qipei knew that almost all the power under him had been taken over from Qi Bo, and he still had some influence, so it was not difficult to know something.So from the very beginning, Lu Qipei was very cautious, and she didn't have much to do with Xie Yuan's matter, it was just two pieces of news.The first one was passed to the third princess, and the latter was passed to General Zuo to lead them into the game.

As for everything that happened afterwards, it was Xie Yuan's own choice.If he hadn't been arrogant, looked down on the barbarians of Rongguo from the bottom of his heart, and thought he could control the overall situation, he probably wouldn't have let the matter develop to the point it was later.

That step by step, he came out by himself!

However, Lu Qipei was also very careful in spreading the news, and he used the staff she trained later, so he immediately denied it without guilt: "Of course not. The emperor and the crown prince are all eyeing him, so why should I do it?"

Except for Qi Yang, Lu Qipei is not that honest with other people, not to mention Qi Bo's current attitude is also unpredictable.

Qi Bo didn't know whether he believed her words, or believed them a little bit, but he didn't like her attitude that she had nothing to do with him at the moment.The gray eyebrows were tightly frowned: "Since you know who did it, don't you take revenge for killing your father?"

Lu Qipei laughed, her smile was not as gentle and pure as usual, but rather cold and cold: "Could Qi Bo be joking with me? You knew that Xie Yuan and I have no affection, and this so-called father-killing revenge is just a joke." What?" After a slight pause, the voice still sank: "My life is very good now, and I don't want to be involved in any hatred and revenge, Qibo, do you understand?"

Speaking of the last sentence, Lu Qipei looked at Qi Bo, the sharpness in his eyes was undisguised.

Qi Bo and her looked at each other for a while, somehow, even the last bit of energy seemed to have dissipated.He waved his hand weakly at last, and sighed: "Forget it, everyone has his own ambition, what can I force?"

After saying this, Qi Bo didn't seem to want to see Lu Qipei anymore, so he waved his hand to see off the guests.

Naturally, Lu Qipei would not force her to stay, Qi Yang and Lu Sheng were still waiting for her on the street.The tense heartstrings loosened a little, but she didn't dare to relax completely before leaving this small courtyard.After all, although Qi Bo was loyal to the Lu family, he was able to watch her kill Lu Qicheng back then. Who knows what he is thinking now, and whether he will attack her in a moment of madness?

Fortunately, these worries were superfluous, and Lu Qipei left smoothly and walked to the gate.She opened the gate, but the alley outside was still empty. Before leaving, she turned around and said, "Qi Bo, take care!"

After finishing speaking, she closed the courtyard door and left without looking back.

Qi Bo was a little dazed when he heard the "take care", and stood there for a long time in the empty main room.Until a figure appeared in front of him and asked in a hoarse voice: "Do you suspect that she set up this situation?"

The hoarse and unpleasant voice woke up Qibo who was distracted. He looked up at the person in front of him, frowning: "I don't know."

Standing in front of Qi Bo was Meng Fei, who personally brought the news about Beirong.It's just that the current Meng Fei is no longer the silent but strong guard who followed Xie Yuan back then.He killed the lord, broke his arm, and a hideous scar on his neck ruined his voice.He said that he crawled out from the pile of dead bodies, Zibo believed it, and couldn't even imagine how he struggled to survive.

But at this moment, Meng Fei was silent when he heard Qi Bo's words.He desperately rushed back from Beirong to the Kingdom of Liang, with the purpose of avenging Xie Yuan—from the time the third princess knew the secret of Xie Hongyi's death, to everything that happened afterwards was obviously a trap set up by others.Xie Yuan had doubts about the crown prince before, but later he knew that Emperor Liang was lucky enough to escape, and suspected that it was the recovered Emperor Liang who took revenge.

The enemies of the Xie family were the royal family of the Liang Kingdom, so Meng Fei had a clear goal of revenge.

However, when he returned to the capital with the remaining power and contacted Qi Bo, the first person Qi Bo thought of suspecting was Lu Qipei.Meng Fei didn't want to believe such conjectures. With Xie Yuan dead, the only heir he left behind was the young master to Meng Fei.

Fortunately, Lu Qipei denied it, and Qi Bo raised doubts for some reason but did not investigate further.

Meng Fei took all of this as a misunderstanding: "Actually, with the current situation, even if we succeed in revenge, we will have no way to retreat. If we interfere with the young master at this time, it will be nothing more than dragging her into the water together. He spoke in a hoarse voice, frowning in pain: "I think, at least one bloodline must be left for the Lord."

When Qi Bo heard this, his expression moved slightly, but he didn't say anything in the end.

Qi Yang waited for a long time by the street with Lu Sheng in his arms, looking at the crowd passing by in front of him eagerly.He waited until his patience was exhausted, and he was about to send someone to Jingzhao Mansion to report the crime, only then did he finally see Lu Qipei running away from the crowd and rushing back.

The delay in meeting Qi Bo was actually not long, but the man had gone too many circles to lure her there before.Lu Qipei was very unfamiliar with the alleys around here. When he came back, there was no one to guide him, so he was careful not to go wrong, so it took a lot of time.At this moment, she even had a thin layer of sweat on her forehead, and her cheeks were also stained lightly.

When Qi Yang saw her, he asked, "Where have you been chasing someone? Why have you been there for so long?!"

Lu Qipei smiled, and opened his palms to show her the purse and jade pendant he brought back: "The man ran into the alley, and I chased him for a long time before he got there. I got the things back, but it's a pity that he disappeared gone."

After hearing this, Qi Yang looked suspiciously at her, "That's it?"

Lu Qipei originally wanted to hide Qi Bo's matter, but his attitude was really unclear, which made people puzzled.But facing Qi Yang's questioning, she still told the whole thing without hesitation: "Actually, Qi Bo wanted to see me, so he specially asked someone to steal my purse to lure me there."

After listening to the explanation, Qi Yang felt speechless——Qi Bo is the housekeeper of the Lu Mansion, and even though Lu Qipei has now moved to the Princess Mansion to settle down, the Lu Mansion is still her home.If Qibo has something to do, just pass on the news. Does it need to go around such a big circle?

However, it was Qi Bo's devious behavior that made Qi Yang suspicious: "What did he say when he saw you?"

Lu Qipei didn't talk much when he was outside, but when he returned to the Princess Mansion, he still told Qi Yang everything about it.When Qi Yang heard the news of Xie Yuan's death, while he was happy, he was also puzzled by Qi Bo's weird attitude.
