Chapter 323: I can tell him where it is.

A gift?

What kind of gift could Chu Lan have prepared for himself?

If you want to give a reward, just send it over directly, why make it so mysterious?

What’s more, he is a prince and she is an unmarried chamber maiden, it is not polite for him to summon her in private.

Although her heart was suspicious, Wei Ruo had to agree.

Chu Lan had invited her, and hadn’t given her the option of refusing in advance.

“Then I would appreciate it if Sister would lead the way.” Wei Ruo said.

“Big girl need not be polite, please follow the old slave.” Sister Qin said.

Wei Ruo took Xiu Mei and followed Sister Qin on the carriage that Chu Lan had sent to pick her up.

The carriage brought Wei Ruo to Yu Sheng Tea Cuisine, and then under the guidance of Sister Qin, she entered a tea room.

Chu Lan was the only one in the tea room.

Dressed in dark green floral brocade robes, bundled hair and jade crown, is now sitting in front of the tea table by the window, posture leisurely sipping tea.

Outside the window is a colorful East Lake, the surface of the lake sparkling, the breeze from the lake into the tea room, flicked the green plants placed on the tea table.

The picture is very beautiful, if shelved in front of the original Wei Qingruo, must be a burst of chest deer.

Unfortunately, in Wei Ruo’s opinion, it was a jackal that spoiled this good time.

“My daughter has met the Seventh Highness.” Wei Ruo saluted Chu Lan.

In the past, when Chu Lan did not disclose his true identity, Wei Ruo could still see him without saluting. Since he officially came to Taizhou Prefecture as a Governor, Wei Ruo couldn’t pretend not to know who he was when she saw him again.

“Ms. Wei, please take a seat.” Chu Lan invited Wei Ruo to sit in the seat opposite him after glancing at her.

Wei Ruo knew she couldn’t refuse, so she simply walked over and sat down.

The last time he sat with Chu Lan and drank tea together was still using Xu Heyu’s identity, and there was a third person present at that time.

And it was the first time that using the Wei family’s first daughter’s identity and Chu Lan sat together, and this time there were only the two of them in the tea room.

“When I didn’t inform Miss Wei of my true identity last time in Xingshan County, Miss Wei won’t hold a grudge, right?” Chu Lan said.

“Folk daughter doesn’t dare.” Wei Ruowei lowered her head, purposely not looking at Chu Lan’s eyes.

Wei Ruo slander: really want to hold a grudge is not to hold a grudge did not tell the identity of the matter, you the original pig’s hooves worthy of me to hold a grudge a lot of things to go.

“I heard what Sister Qin said about Miss Wei’s spiritedness not losing to men at all, why is she so timid in front of me?” Chu Lan asked.

“Folk daughter terrified, your highness is a nobleman, folk daughter of a grass, see the fear of the heart is human nature.” Wei Ruo replied.

Chu Lan smiled, “Just as well, no matter what, Miss Wei’s intelligence is noteworthy. This time it is also thanks to Miss Wei that Taizhou Prefecture has become the best prefectural city within the Zhejiang Chengxuan Buzhengji Department for controlling the straggler disaster.”

“This matter is not the credit of me alone, it is the credit of your highness and the county princess who sympathize with the people, it is the government offices who love the people, it is the credit of all the people in the Taizhou government.” Wei Ruo said.

“In order to thank Miss Wei, I have a gift here for Miss Wei.” Chu Lan said.

“It’s an honor for my daughter to share your worries for your highness, I don’t dare to take credit or accept gifts.” Wei Ruo said.

If you really want to give it to me, just give me a pile of gold, why go through all this trouble, you don’t want to give it to me.

“No, this gift shall be what you need at the moment, regarding the whereabouts of your elder brother.” Chu Lan said.

Wei Ruo paused, then asked, “Does Your Highness know where my brother is now?”

“Not only do I know, but I know what happened in the meantime.” Chu Lan gave an affirmative answer.

Chu Lan observed Wei Ruo’s expression as he spoke, seemingly interested in Wei Ruo’s reaction.

But the expression on Wei Ruo’s face had been well controlled.

“Then thank you, Your Highness, my family is worried about finding the whereabouts of my elder brother.” Wei Ruo said.

“Doesn’t Miss Wei want to hear what happened?” Chu Lan looked at Wei Ruo with interest.

Wei Ruo didn’t know what Chu Lan was playing at, she only felt that he was like a hunter who was on the hunt and she was the prey that was being watched, a feeling that made her very unhappy.

“My daughter does not dare to ask more, if your highness is willing to inform, my daughter will be very grateful.” Wei Ruo replied, and the reply was very much in keeping with the status of a prudent official lady.

“Does Miss Wei know about the Qi family in the capital?”

Chu Lan began to solve Wei Ruo’s puzzle, but raised a question that didn’t seem to have much to do with this conversation.

“Slightly heard.” Wei Ruo replied.

The Qi family is the mother’s family of the Sixth Prince’s birth mother, Consort Qi, and the Qi family’s current head of the family is the Sixth Prince’s uncle, Qi Zhengsong, who is also the head of the Cabinet of Ministers of the current dynasty.

This shows the power and status of the Qi family today.

Even if Wei Ruo didn’t care about the affairs of the court, she had still heard about such a prominent family, not to mention that she was also someone who knew the plot of the original story, so naturally she also had an understanding of the strong rivalry of the male lead in the original story.

“The chief minister, Mr. Qi, had three sons, the first son died young, the second son died in the war against Japan, leaving the youngest son, Qi Zhen, alone. Qi Zhen has a reputation for being a flirt in the capital, loving beauty and hanging out in the streets and alleys.” Chu Lan said.

“I have heard people in my family mention some of it.” Wei Ruo replied.

Wei Ruo did not know why Chu Lan suddenly mentioned the matter of the Qi family, the Qi family is the new nobility in the dynasty, while the Wei family has long been powerless, the two families usually have no interactions.

Chu Lan continued, “Although this Little Duke Qi is a flirt, his ability to do things is not bad, and he helps his father and cousin with quite a few things. I heard that in recent days, he came to Taizhou Prefecture.”

Qi Zhen is in Taizhou? He’s probably here for Chu Lan, isn’t he?

But what does this have to do with the Wei family? Wei Ruo heart flashed a hint of bad guess, Qi Zhen wind flow good beauty, it will not be ……

“What is the purpose of Mr. Qi’s visit to the Taizhou Prefecture?” Wei Ruo asked, following Chu Lan’s words.

“I don’t know what he came to Taizhou Prefecture to do, but his beauty-loving nature made him unable to move his legs once he saw the beauty of Taizhou Prefecture. Within the Taizhou Prefecture, if you want to count the beauties, it’s your Wei sisters, especially your sister, who has the posture of a lotus flower and the color of a closed moon.” Chu Lan said.

Chu Lan’s words confirmed the bad suspicion that had just flashed through Wei Ruo’s mind.

Wei Ruo laughed a little in her heart, commenting that Qi Zhen’s and Wei Qingwan’s words were more than a little funny coming from Chu Lan.

You should know that if you follow the direction of the original story, the one who came to the Taizhou Mansion and was charmed by Wei Qingwan would not be Qi Zhen, but him, Chu Lan.

“Miss Wei is so smart thought she should have already understood what I meant.” Chu Lan said.

“What Your Highness means is that there is contact between my sister and Mr. Qi?” Wei Ruo said.

“The relationship may be a bit more in-depth than Miss Wei thought.” Chu Lan said, speaking with amusement as he picked up the teacup in front of him and played with it, and continued to observe Wei Ruo’s reaction out of the corner of his eye.
