Chapter 518: 260 Ingenious Plan (First Change)_3

Liu Yisheng raised an eyebrow: “You haven’t left yet?”

“After all, it was not easy for you to find me. I should stay for a while.” Yuan Tang reclined in the same rattan chair he had previously occupied, toying with a folding fan and propped a hand under his head. Continuing the topic, he said, “If we hadn’t caught the cat in time, the new top scholar would have been hit by the cat. The scholar would have startled the cat, and the cat would have scared the scholar. Ultimately, the scared cat would have knocked over the pregnant Princess Ning. The child would likely have been lost. The top scholar, the princess, and the owner of the cat… taking them all out with a single ‘arrow’, what a beautiful plot.”

Gu Jiao was going to catch the cat, and Liu Yisheng thought it was just catching the cat. He looked at Yuan Tang in confusion: “How did you know?”

Yuan Tang waved at the white cat.

The white cat, acting disdainful, jumped off the floor and unwillingly onto Yuan Tang’s leg.

Yuan Tang stroked it saying: “Because this is my cat. Someone lured my cat away with dried fish.”

As he spoke, he picked up the white cat and said, coldly, “You stupid thing. You almost got me in trouble. Next time you’re so easily lured away, don’t blame me for turning you into a pot of cat stew!”

Gu Jiao’s dream was only about Xiao Liulang, and she hadn’t seen anything about the fate of the white cat and its owner.

“Meow~” The white cat called out guiltily.

Yuan Tang poked the cat’s belly. The cat, feeling guilty, allowed him: “Instead of being curious about how I knew, shouldn’t you be more curious about how that girl knew? I made a guess based on the situation after the fact, but she seemed to have foreseen it long in advance.”

Liu Yisheng fell silent, as if he had thought of something.

Yuan Tang flashed a mysterious smile: “Should I investigate that girl?”

Liu Yisheng seriously said: “It’s better not to.”

Yuan Tang asked: “What’s the matter? Are you angry?”

Liu Yisheng lowered his head and played with the rope: “I have nothing to do with her, why would I be angry? But if you go to investigate her and she gets exposed, it would cause trouble for her. After all, she inadvertently helped you.”

Yuan Tang thought for a moment, nodding: “That makes sense.” He looked up at the sky, “It’s getting late, I should really go now, here’s something for you.”

He took out some silver notes and put them on the table.

Liu Yisheng responded without hesitation: “Take them away.”

Yuan Tang winced, sucking in a cold breath, looking at him in confusion: “You accept things from the young girl but not from me? Would you rather starve than accept my help, for the sake of avoiding any association with the Chen Kingdom?”

“You really want to give me something?” Liu Yisheng asked him.
