Wang Qingci felt a sense of grievance in her heart, having led the Rain-listening Pavilion in a constant struggle against the Qianhai Commercial Association, tirelessly contriving to extract their intelligence, only to discover that the President of the Qianhai Commercial Association was one of Lu Chen’s people.
Why didn’t Lu Chen tell her sooner? She suddenly felt that Lu Chen didn’t trust her, which was why he didn’t share this information with her.
It was even possible that Lu Chen had deliberately sent Qian Dahai to test her.
Seeing Wang Qingci seemed somewhat unhappy, Lu Chen said with a smile, “Mr. Wang, I myself only learned today that President Qian is one of my people.”
This…
Hearing Lu Chen’s words, Wang Qingci was taken aback for a moment.
Learned only today?
Was he trying to fool a fool? Qian Dahai was his man; how could he have possibly only learned of that today?
At that moment, Qian Dahai said to Wang Qingci, “Mr. Wang, the Prince is correct. I too found out only today that the Prince is my master.”
“Previously, when I sought information about the North Prince Mansion from you, it was mainly to verify my own suspicions.”
Wang Qingci looked at Lu Chen doubtfully. Lu Chen claimed Qian Dahai was his man but then said he only found out that day? Did that not imply that there had been no prior contact between Lu Chen and the Qianhai Commercial Association? So how did Qian Dahai become Lu Chen’s man?
Wang Qingci felt a bit muddled in her thoughts, but ultimately, she chose to believe what Lu Chen had said. She felt that there really was no need for him to send someone to test her, considering that the Rain-listening Pavilion was filled with Brocade Guards watching her every move.
At that moment, Qian Dahai tactfully said, “Prince, if there’s nothing else, I shall take my leave.”
Lu Chen replied, “Yes, go attend to your affairs.”
After Qian Dahai left the study, Lu Chen, his face full of smiles, stared at Wang Qingci and said, “So, you thought I had sent Qian Dahai as a spy to test you after hearing he was my man?”
Wang Qingci pursed her lips and said nothing. She had indeed thought so at first, but after a moment, she realized that Lu Chen really had no reason to test her.
Her entire being belonged to Lu Chen, both body and spirit molded into his shape. There was nothing left to test.
At that moment, Lu Chen explained, “The situation with the Qianhai Commercial Association is a bit peculiar. Indeed, I only found out today that Qian Dahai is my man. He was not sent to test you, you can be assured of that.”
Filled with curiosity, Wang Qingci asked, “Why did the Prince only find out today that Qian Dahai is your man?”
Lu Chen said with a smile, “Having spent so much time in the Prince’s Mansion, you must know about my Immortal Master.”
Practically all the women in the inner court of the Prince’s Mansion knew that Lu Chen was a man blessed with an immortal fate, having experienced the so-called fairy skill treatments after sharing his bed. They were thoroughly convinced of his destined connection with immortality.
Not only the women of the inner court but also the soldiers of the North Country’s army firmly believed that Lu Chen was a Son of Destiny, protected by an Immortal.
After hearing Lu Chen’s words, Wang Qingci’s mind froze for a moment, then swiftly concocted an explanation, “So it turns out that Qian Dahai was a man prepared by the Prince’s Immortal Master for him.”
Wang Qingci thought to herself, it made sense why Lu Chen had only now learned of Qian Dahai as one of his own. It appeared that Qian Dahai had not previously made any contact with Lu Chen, hence neither knew of their connection. If Qian Dahai was indeed a man prepared by Lu Chen’s Immortal Master, everything fell into place.
After hearing Wang Qingci’s words, Lu Chen said with a smile, “You are correct, Qian Dahai is indeed a talent prepared by my Master. There are many more like him.”
Wang Qingci said, “This servant thought it odd that Qian Dahai has been inquiring about Your Highness recently. I feared he sought to gather intelligence on the North Prince Mansion. Now it seems he was confirming whether his master was indeed Your Highness.”
With that, Wang Qingci felt much more at ease, so long as it was clear that Lu Chen had no suspicions about her. He still trusted her.
Then, Wang Qingci said, “If there’s nothing else, this servant will take her leave.”
Lu Chen replied indifferently, “Yes, you may go.”
Today, Lu Chen was much more behaved and had no intention of doing anything inappropriate in the study. Another person was expected to visit him soon, so he continued to sit in the study, waiting.
Sure enough, it didn’t take long before he heard a maid’s voice once again at the door of the study, “Prince, the young miss from the Dongfang Family wishes to see you privately.”
Lu Chen said coolly, “Bring her to the study.”
“As you wish, Prince.”
Soon enough, a maid from the Prince’s Mansion led a woman dressed in a simple white garment into the study.
Upon seeing the woman before him, Lu Chen felt as if dazzling rays of light were shining on him. The woman was extremely beautiful, seemingly radiating specks of starlight, stirring something inside Lu Chen with just a glance.
Dongfang Longyue greeted Lu Chen with a bow and said, “This commoner Dongfang Longyue pays her respects to the Prince. May the Prince have a long life of a thousand, thousand years!”
Snapped back to reality by Dongfang Longyue’s voice, Lu Chen responded, “Rise.”
Then Lu Chen recognized Dongfang Longyue’s personal details through the system.
[Name: Dongfang Longyue]
[Identity: Daughter of Dongfang Yi, the Family Head of the Dongfang Family, 26 years old, Master Realm.]
[Rating: 98]
[Favorability: 50]
[Loyalty: 100]
Seeing Dongfang Longyue’s details, Lu Chen was once again stunned. He did not anticipate that Dongfang Longyue’s displayed information would be similar to that of Xuanyuan Yunqi, with favorability and loyalty being separate.
