Chapter 548 - 545: Elegant and Courteous_1
"Is there any inconvenience staying at your grandmother’s house? If it’s inconvenient, I’ll have your aunt fix up a courtyard for you," Dong Qingyue said after hearing from Lu Ping that Bai Qingyan had a habit of morning exercise. During her stay in Dengzhou, Bai Qingyan had refrained from her exercises to avoid disturbing Madam Dong’s rest, so she hadn’t practiced for several days.
"No... living with Grandmother allows me to show more filial piety for Mother. Kid is very happy." Bai Qingyan sat beside Dong Qingyue and noticed a small tuft of silver hair at his temples. "Now that Changlan is reliable, you shouldn’t have to handle everything yourself. You should rest more."
Dong Qingyue shook his head. "Changlan is still a bit green. He needs a few more years of experience by my side. Let’s not talk about this. Today, I have a rare moment of leisure, and there’s something I want to ask you. What do you think of Mr. Xiao?"
Bai Qingyan looked at Dong Qingyue, her hand tightening slowly within her sleeve. "What do I think?"
"Just like Changlan said, it’s too coincidental that Mr. Xiao appeared during the ambush on the Yan Kingdom’s bridal escort by Nanrong. If he was there to rescue the Princess of Yan for some benefit, wouldn’t it be too far-fetched with the few guards he had?" Dong Qingyue pondered Xiao Rongyan’s explanation to Dong Changlan.
To date, Xiao Rongyan was supposedly recuperating at the Dong Mansion. In reality, he was confined to a small courtyard and couldn’t leave. However, Xiao Rongyan might have realized the abruptness of his appearance and remained compliant, seriously recuperating without trying to forge connections or demand a meeting with Dong Qingyue.
According to reports, Xiao Rongyan behaved appropriately at the Dong Mansion and treated the servants politely and elegantly.
"If you want to get to the bottom of this, the best way would be to meet Mr. Xiao in person," Bai Qingyan didn’t defend Xiao Rongyan blindly.
