Chapter 471 - The Secret of the One-Cottage House

The wind of early spring brought fog into the mountain residences.

“Then I have no choice but to bid you two farewell,” said Xi Yiyun.

Gu Qing went on with a small smile, “Could Mr. Xi introduce us to the Prime Minister?”

“I haven’t seen Big Brother Qin yet.”

“You are mistaken. This is actually a private matter,” Gu Qing said.

Xi Yiyun said, “In that case, it would be even harder for me to help you.”

Soon after, a young scholar came to the room.

Gu Qing told Liu Shisui about all that he knew and could tell from the last two years.

“Master, I failed to persuade the One-Cottage House.”

Thinking of Xi Yiyun’s attitude, Gu Qing had a heavy heart.

“We can simply snatch the bride then.”

Zhuo Rusui offered this as if it were something to be taken for granted.

“He is a pretty decent person,” Jing Jiu remarked.

He had only told Jing Jiu about that matter.

“I’ve checked Bu Qiuxiao out.”

“What have you found out?” Jing Jiu asked.

“Was this consistent with his temperament?” Jing Jiu pressed.

“What was the outcome?” Jing Jiu prompted.

Jing Jiu remarked, “You have indeed found out quite a bit of information.”

This was Liu Shisui’s as well as Jing Jiu’s suspicion.

“I can only remember the logs of last one hundred years,” Liu Shisui replied.

“It’s not that much; but tell me the logs of last one hundred years first.”

Jing Jiu took down the Green Sky Mirror from the bookshelf.

Liu Shisui started by reciting the daily log one hundred years ago.

Jing Jiu knocked the Green Sky Mirror once.

Liu Shisui’s voice wore on in the study room.

“Stop. Go back to the log forty seven years ago.”

Jing Jiu asked, “Did the daily log say where the inky devil blood came from?”

“Where was Bu Qiuxiao twenty seven years ago?”

“He was hosting the Plum Meeting in Zhaoge City.”

“What about autumn that year?”
