350 A Royally Arranged Marriage 3

Ji Fengyan stayed for a while, deciding to head home first before brainstorming for a solution. This was unacceptable…

She was just going to flush Lei Min out and kill him first.

Just see if that Emperor could betroth me to another doomed marriage!

Ji Fengyan had just told her farewells when Qin Muyao hurried over.

"I'll see you out." Qin Muyao offered with no room for debate.

Ji Fengyan, "…"

Liu Ruse stared in wonder at Qin Muyao's actions.

"Let's go." Qin Muyao walked out the door before Ji Fengyan could respond.

Ji Fengyan followed without a word.

Exiting Liu Ruse's room, Qin Muyao and Ji Fengyan walked one behind the other along the stone pathway in the backyard. Quickly reaching the front gates, Qin Muyao suddenly stopped and turned to face Ji Fengyan.

"What?" Ji Fengyan knew Qin Muyao was not so polite.

Qin Muyao's brows creased slightly, his sharp and oppressive gaze fixed unmoving upon Ji Fengyan's face.

"It would be useless to find Xing Lou."

His sudden words shocked Ji Fengyan.

He heard everything?

"I have no intentions of seeking the Grand Tutor." Ji Fengyan shrugged. She never wanted to see that fellow ever again, no way would she go finding him now.

Qin Muyao shook his head mildly. "If you really do not wish to marry, no one can force you if that person is no longer in this world."

With that, Qin Muyao left Ji Fengyan standing alone.

Ji Fengyan stared in astonishment at Qin Muyao's departing profile, her heart startled by his earlier words.

Did Qin Muyao mean…

Ji Fengyan suddenly chuckled. This person's line of thought was not much different from hers. Only… Qin Muyao's tone was truly murderous.

Leaving Liu Ruse's residence, Ji Fengyan went straight back to the Ji family's place. Linghe and the rest were busy with the business concerning the pharmacy, leaving only Yang Jian and Liu Huo in the yard. Ji Fengyan did not plan to tell Liu Huo of the news yet and also didn't want to let him see her troubled mind. Thus, she just sat in the yard and enjoyed its fragrant air.

Getting rid of Lei Min was not difficult. With what happened previously in Ji City, Lei Min was well aware of her methods and had probably hidden himself well, waiting for the dust to settle before reappearing.

However, regardless of how well he hid himself, Ji Fengyan would find a way to flush him out.

But…

The problem was not Lei Min but the Eldest Princess.

As long as the Eldest Princess wanted to stir trouble for her, even though she was no longer engaged to Lei Min, it would be to another random person. Killing Lei Min just meant that another scapegoat would be appointed. The killing would be endless.

As Ji Fengyan debated how to end her dilemma, Liu Huo had appeared behind her without her knowing. He quietly watched Ji Fengyan's back, not going forward nor uttering a single word.

A figure suddenly emerged behind the banyan tree, where Liu Huo stood. Liu Huo's gaze shifted and turned to look behind him.

"Master." A guard's called from behind the tree.

"What?" Liu Huo's voice had turned cold and indifferent. Apart from a youthful undertone, his voice was exactly the same Grand Tutor Xing Lou's.

"The Emperor wishes to meet with you."

"No." Liu Huo rejected without hesitation.

Shocked, the guard wavered for quite a while before saying carefully, "I heard that the Emperor wishes to discuss with you about Mistress Ji's marriage matters."

Liu Huo was mildly stunned.
