"Very well, then I won’t disturb you any longer. Farewell!" Lu Ping stood up and walked toward the courtyard exit.

Li Mingrui remained seated in his spot without moving. It wasn’t until Lu Ping had left the courtyard and the old man guarding it checked and reported back to Li Mingrui that Lu Ping had gone far away that Li Mingrui said, "Come out!"

The door of the tile-roofed house inside was pulled open, and the white-robed counselor of the Li Mansion stepped out.

Li Mingrui took a sip from his tea cup and asked, "What do you think?"

"Since the Princess of Zhen has ordered it, you should follow her instructions and properly arrange for Wang Qiulu. You can even provide for Wang Qiulu, help him marry and have children, and safeguard against the day when the Princess of Zhen takes out those letters..."

Li Mingrui raised his eyes to look at the white-robed counselor, who had a faint smile on his face. His mind suddenly became clear.

By helping Wang Qiulu marry and have children, and keeping his wife under control, in the future... if the Princess of Zhen were to produce the letters written by his father and the Second Prince, he could have Wang Qiulu turn against her. He would claim that the Princess of Zhen was framing his family because he discovered she had saved the traitorous rebel Wang Qiulu.

"But Master Tan and Lord Shoushan are both highly skilled in calligraphy. Once they see the letters and verify them, they would definitely know they are not forged." Li Mingrui’s brow furrowed slightly.

"In that case, we need to arrange our own calligraphy expert. If the Princess of Zhen does produce the letters in the future, it’s best to have our person validate that the letters are fake!" The white-robed counselor smiled and added, "Besides, so long as you remain patient and obedient to the Princess of Zhen for a few years, why would she discard her useful pawn?"

The white-robed counselor picked up the tea cup that Lu Ping hadn’t touched and poured the water out, then played with the cup in his hand, observing it closely. "Lord Shoushan and Master Tan are not young. How many more years can they live? It won’t be long before they pass away. What are you afraid of?"

Li Mingrui chuckled softly and nodded. "Since that’s the case, then I’ll leave the planning and arrangements to you!"

"Don’t worry. I will carefully select the person to rescue Wang Qiulu. No matter what, it will be linked to the Princess of Zhen. We’ll leave traces back to her!" The white-robed counselor smiled.

"It’s better to be cautious!" Li Mingrui gazed at the white-robed counselor. "This is the first task after pledging allegiance to the Princess of Zhen. If anything goes wrong and she suspects we’re trying to frame her, it won’t be good."

"Rest assured, I will be very careful!" the white-robed counselor said.

Lu Ping’s group had not been on the long street for long before the Bai family’s guards caught up with him on horseback. The guard beside Lu Ping said, "There was another person in that house. As soon as you left, that person came out. But I couldn’t hear what was said because I was too far away."

Lu Ping nodded and instructed, "In the next few days, keep a close eye on Li Mingrui and that person who came out of the house. Find out who that person is!" _{freewebnσvel.cѳm}

"Yes!"

After reporting back to Bai Qingyan, Bai Qingyan suddenly looked up at Lu Ping behind the gauze screen and said, "You said... Li Mingrui was at the Qiushan maple tree?"

"That’s correct!" Lu Ping noticed something off in Bai Qingyan’s tone and asked, "What’s wrong with the Qiushan maple tree?"
