Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 319

Chapter 319: Chapter 316: When the Child_1

"Miss Bai and Miss Bai, if you don’t mind, I’ve already booked the VIP guesthouse. Each courtyard is private, so it won’t disturb your tranquility." After saying this, Xiao Rongyan bowed to Bai Qingyan, "I ask Miss Bai to give me a chance to repay the Bai family."

"Then we’ll trouble Mr. Xiao!" Bai Jinzhi, with the intention of matchmaking for Bai Qingyan and Xiao Rongyan, quickly spoke up, "I’ve heard that the VIP guesthouse in Shuoyang is a scenic delight in every courtyard—a true gem! When Steward Liu sent someone to reserve it earlier, they said it was already booked! Mr. Xiao, you have really gone all out!"

Bai Qingyan: "..."

Bai Qingyan turned and looked deeply at Bai Jinzhi, seeing Bai Jinzhi quickly use a mask to cover her face. She said, "Then we’ll trouble Mr. Xiao."

She held the pouch at her side, thinking she needed to find an opportunity to return the jade cicada. Staying at the same guesthouse would be convenient.

"Uncle Liu, let’s trouble Mr. Xiao today and stay at the VIP guesthouse. Tell the people looking for another inn to return."

Xiao Rongyan made a gesture of invitation to Bai Qingyan. Bai Qingyan handed her reins to Steward Liu and walked forward with Xiao Rongyan.

Ever since Yue Shi learned that his master liked Miss Bai, he had increasingly felt that Miss Bai and his master were a perfect match. Besides admiration, he felt a warmth, viewing Bai Qingyan as the future wife of his master.

"Since we met Miss Bai here in Shuoyang, it seems that the list sent to your residence this morning must not have been seen by you," Xiao Rongyan said in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

Bai Qingyan was slightly surprised, "List?"

"It’s the list of troublemaking students from the Imperial College, their family connections, and the people they’ve seen recently." Xiao Rongyan spoke in a very low, unhurried voice.

That was exactly what Bai Qingyan had ordered someone to investigate.

Seeing Bai Qingyan’s surprised expression, Xiao Rongyan said, "The family backgrounds and connections of the Imperial College students had already been investigated before I entered Dadu City. After all, most of the future pillars of the Jin Kingdom will come from these students."

What Xiao Rongyan didn’t mention was that among the students of the Imperial College, there were people from Yan.

"Mr. Xiao’s network is more extensive than I imagined!" Bai Qingyan lightly grasped the jade cicada through the pouch, speaking with double meaning.

Xiao Rongyan had investigated these details faster than she did, which showed how many secret agents he had in Dadu City.

Moreover, the fact that Xiao Rongyan could easily find out who these students had seen recently meant there were also people in the Imperial College.

"As a businessman, I may not have other strengths, but my information is indeed more timely than others." Xiao Rongyan finished talking and looked up at a stall making fresh candied fruit. He turned and instructed Yue Shi to buy two sticks of candied fruit.

"Is Mr. Xiao here in Shuoyang for business?" she asked.

"Shuoyang’s white tea is quite famous. I came to see if it’s a business worth pursuing, and I also brought some goods from Yan, planning to let our steward open a shop here for exclusive business." Xiao Rongyan’s lips curved slightly as he looked at Bai Qingyan and answered.

Xiao Rongyan’s eyes were deep and gentle, seemingly full of affection and intentions.

Remembering the words on Xiao Rongyan’s ship, she already understood his feelings. She held onto the jade cicada and lowered her eyes to avoid Xiao Rongyan’s gaze, nodding slightly, "Then I wish Mr. Xiao booming business."

Yue Shi returned with two sticks of candied fruit in hand. Xiao Rongyan took one and handed it to Bai Jinzhi. Bai Jinzhi happily thanked him and accepted it. _{freewebnσvel.cѳm}

Xiao Rongyan handed the other one to Bai Qingyan, "Miss Bai..."
