Chapter 295 (1/2)



295 Compensation (final chapter of volume) _3

After that, a heated discussion began on the matter of Xu Qi ‘an’s title.

After some wrangling, Xu Qi ‘an’s title was decided:In Changle County.

A Viscount!

It could not be inherited.

……..

After the small court session ended, the officials dispersed. Wei Yuan walked forward without a word. It was unknown if it was intentional, but his steps were extremely fast. He walked in front of the officials, not letting them see his expression.

“Foster father.”

Nangong qianrou came up to him and was about to ask about the details of the small court meeting, as well as the urgent documents, when he suddenly froze.

Wei Yuan was expressionless, but one could easily read his sadness. There was a deep desolation in his eyes, which had been washed away by time.

Without a word of greeting or even a dagger, Wei Yuan walked over in silence. He walked past Nangong qianrou and continued on his way.

The lower hem of his green robe swayed gently. His back was desolate and lonely.

What had happened … Nangong qianrou was taken aback. She glanced at the officials behind her and suppressed her urge to test him as she followed Wei Yuan with large strides.

On the way back to the watchman’s Yamen, Nangong Qian endured the pain for a long time. When they were close to the Yamen, she finally asked, ”

“Foster father, what happened?”

In the carriage, Wei Yuan’s low and hoarse voice came, “”Xu Qi ‘an died in the line of duty.”

This … Nangong qianrou’s expression froze.

He turned his head and looked at the carriage quietly. Even though the door was blocking him, he still slowed down his movements, afraid that Wei Yuan would notice.

The entire Yamen knew that Lord Wei valued Xu Qi ‘an, but only Nangong qianrou and Yang Yan knew that his foster father had Great Expectations for Xu Qi’ an, like a craftsman who had found a perfect piece of unpolished jade.

He loved it so much that he wanted to carve it into an unparalleled Jade. When the Jade was formed, it would shock the world.

Although she didn’t say it out loud, Nangong qianrou knew in her heart that this anticipation and importance had already far surpassed his foster son.

Now that Xu Qi ‘an had died in the line of duty, one could imagine his foster father’s mood … Nangong qianrou sighed in her heart.

He had thought that he would be secretly happy. Xu Qi ‘an’s appearance had made him jealous and upset. He had thought countless times that it would be great if that guy had never appeared.

My foster father still pays the most attention to me.

Now that she had heard the news of Xu Qi ‘an’s death, Nangong qianrou did not feel happy at all. Instead, she felt lost and her heart was empty.

At this moment, the reins in her hand suddenly fell off. Nangong qianrou was shocked to find that the reins in her palm had been crushed into powder by him.

After returning to the Yamen, Nangong qianrou followed Wei Yuan into the noble Qi building. When they reached the seventh floor, Wei Yuan stopped at the entrance of the tea room and whispered, ”

“You go out first, I want to be alone for a while.”

Nangong qianrou wanted to say something but stopped. She bowed and left, but she did not leave. Instead, she waited outside the tea room.
