Transmigration: From Farmer To Empress-Chapter 64 - - Accidental Encounter (2)_1

The businesses on the street were all thriving, and there were seldom any shops available for rent.

Holding hands, Cai Wei and her mother walked and inquired about possible shops.

They walked for a long time, but they couldn’t find a suitable shop!

——

Across the street

In the tea house with small red windows of the Pine Pavilion and Ink Column, Nangong Yi, dressed in a brocade robe and jade belt, was standing by the window in a nonchalant manner.

His tall figure was as solid as a mountain.

With a careless glance from his deep eyes, his gaze fell on the pink figure downstairs, lingering for a moment before lazily calling out, “Chai Feng!”

“Yes!”

The square-faced guard standing by stepped forward and knelt behind him, asking, “What is your command, Master?”

“Go find out why that… girl has come here.”

“Yes!”

After Chai Feng acknowledged the order, he swiftly disappeared as a shadow past the window.

In a corner of the elegant chamber, Guard Leader Zhu Yue looked grave and glanced anxiously at his master.

Seeing that his master acted as if nothing had happened and was even interested in investigating an unrelated woman, he could not help but speak up impatiently.

“Master, Li Chongzong refuses to return to officialdom.

What should we do now?”

Nangong Yi turned around; his jade-like appearance backlit by the noon sunlight looked ethereal.

“He will leave his seclusion.”

His tone was casual but certain, leaving no room for objection.

Zhu Yue sighed with surprise!

When they visited Li Chongzong last night, they had been turned away at his door.

When they went again this morning, the old man did meet them, but he acted like an old rascal, refusing to admit that he was the national teacher who disappeared for no reason twenty years ago.

He even shamelessly tried to sell them some old cloth from his store, behaving like a money-grubbing commoner.

If Li Chongzong wasn’t the true national teacher, their master had led them across mountains and rivers to this godforsaken small town for no reason at all, which would be losing proposition.

If he was, then the old man has hidden himself exceedingly well.

What made their master certain that he would agree to leave his seclusion?

Nangong Yi did not address Zhu Yue’s disgruntled expression, but slowly sat back at the table.

He picked up the steaming teapot and casually drank a cup of tea.

The green vapor circled around the edge of the cup, it was a sight of melancholy.

Having grown up in the treacherous environment of the palace, he had become adept at reading people’s expressions from a very young age.

Li Chongzong did not have worldly obligations towards wealth and power, but he was a good-hearted man.

He knew that the prince was stubbornly arrogant and devious in nature.

He would not stand by and watch the prince ascend the throne and bring suffering upon the people of the world!

On this side,

Cai Wei and her mother were still looking to and fro, walking and observing.

Suddenly, a coarse voice filled with mockery came —

“Hee-hee, isn’t this the scholar’s wife?”

The sudden mockery startled Cai Wei and her mother; they quickly withdrew their eyes from the shops and warily watched the man who had spoken up.
