Chapter 683 - 681: Not Yet Paid Off
Lady Zhao thought about it after getting off the carriage and decided not to talk about it just yet, saving herself the embarrassment in case it didn’t work out.
Lady Zhao’s expression was relaxed, with a faint smile she couldn’t quite hide. She didn’t say much and led Xiuqin and Xiao Cui straight to her own room in the back courtyard.
Wong Qiao was feeling gloomy. After escorting Lady Zhao back to her room, he left the courtyard. He didn’t have the face to say anything to Qi Younian. Leading the horse out, he went to look for Jiang Yifan to talk and seek advice.
Wong Qiao stayed at the Jiang Family’s home for a long time, not leaving until after dinner. Jiang Yifan escorted him out of the door, appearing to continuously remind him of something.
However, Wong Qiao’s mood was still down. He led the horse by the reins, slowly walking home.
Lady Zhao had decided on such a big matter at the Great Awakening Temple without properly discussing it with Wong Qiao, and now she couldn’t find him. She had asked everyone in the Qi family, but no one knew where he had gone.
What angered her was that Wong Qiao had been out for such a long time without even bothering to inform her, as if he no longer valued her as he had in the past.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Today should have been a joyous day, having lifted a heavy burden off her chest, she should have been feeling at ease. Yet, because Wong Qiao left without a word, it even made her dinner unpleasant.
