76 Developments Inside The Imperial Palace - 25.2 (2/2)

”En. It is fine... The sooner it is, the better. We shall do as you have said.”

”Alright then... I'll go make the necessary arrangements. You better go and prepare yourself as well.”

”Of course. If you'll excuse me then.”

With a nod, Wu Jun Qiao stood up to leave when Wu Zheng He suddenly spoke up and said, ”Jun Qiao, since this is the first time you'll actually be going in public, do remember what your identity is right now.”

Pausing slightly, Wu Jun Qiao's alluring lips curved into a small yet amused smile before opening his mouth to speak his reply.

”No need to worry, I know who I am... I am the current heir and only young master of the Wu family. General Wu Zheng He's adopted son who only recently came to the capital; Wu Jun Qiao.”

”Good. As long as you know.” Wu Zheng He retorted, albeit without any malice in his voice but a hint of pride instead.

Laughing, Wu Jun Qiao then playfully asked with an amused voice.

”Anything else that I can help you with, Father?”

Hearing the amusement in Wu Jun Qiao's voice, Wu Zheng He rolled his eyes at him before throwing a silk pouch at the young man.

Catching it easily, Wu Jun Qiao shot him a curious look before asking, ”And this is?”

”It's the deed and all the necessary documentation and requirements to the estate beside this one, the one that you asked for.”

”The one that previously belonged to the Fans?”

”En. The same one. A messenger came this morning while we were at the imperial palace to deliver it. Luckily Granny Fang was present so she was able to handle the transaction despite our absence.”

Pleased with the news, Wu Jun Qiao quickly expressed his gratitude and said, ”Many thanks!”

Waving a dismissive hand, Wu Zheng He just smiled and shook his head before shooing him off, making the young man laugh in amusement as he left.

After leaving, Wu Jun Qiao returned to his current courtyard where the sight of a travel-worn man greeted his eyes.

”Ting Zhe! It's good that you're back, This Young Master knows that it's been hard for you outside.”

Hearing the familiar voice, the haggard man's expression noticeably lightened as he quickly turned and bowed to Wu Jun Qiao while greeting him.

”Please don't say that Young Master! It is this servant's fortune to be able to offer his meager help and be of use to Young Master.”

Striding towards the still bent over man, Wu Jun Qiao placed a hand on his shoulder before helping him straighten up with a smile, surprising the older man.

Seeing the happy look on his young master's face, Yi Ting Zhe felt his face flush with shame as he was filled with guilt.

Seeing the look on his face, Wu Jun Qiao's brows furrowed as he asked, ”What's wrong?”

”To see Young Master happy fills this lowly one with joy but this incompetent servant is ashamed to come before Young Master since this lowly one once again failed in his task.”

Realization filled Wu Jun Qiao before a wry smile slowly made it's way to his face.

Shaking his head, Wu Jun Wiao opened his mouth and said, ”Ting Zhe, enough of this... There's no need to feel anymore shame nor guilt. Your Young Master has already found her! This Young Master is only glad to see your familiar face, after all, despite not being able to find her this past years, all other tasks this Young Master gave you was done and completed by you splendidly which is why this Young Master has something else in mind for you to do.”Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
