Chapter 317: The Strange Li Zhongzhao

A group of people suddenly reacted and quickly rushed forward to deal with the body. However, before they could even start, a cacophony of footsteps sounded outside the courtyard gate, indicating that...A group of people dismounted their carriages and horses, in the blink of an eye dozens of them stood neatly before the estate.

Qin Luoyan originally wanted to walk towards Xiao Fan, but as soon as she moved, she was pressed on the shoulder by Li Yun. "He has a wife to wait on him, he doesn't need you."

Qin Luoyan bit her lip, her eyes defiant. But in the corner of her eye, she saw the woman carefully holding onto Xiao Fan's arm. She hesitated for a moment but couldn't resist the urge to walk over.

These days, the woman acted like a gentle and virtuous wife on the surface. She even took care of cleaning up Xiao Fan's mess at night, handling everything herself without any trace of flaws.

If Qin Luoyan didn't know her true nature, she would probably be fooled by her appearance.

However, the more flawless she seemed, the more uneasy Qin Luoyan felt. A person who could endure to this extent must have a plan behind her actions.

These past few days, because of that woman's constant attendance, Qin Luoyan has lost the opportunity to get close to Xiao Fan. She was anxious in her heart, and as she listened, Li Yun beside her opened his mouth.

"This is the estate of a distant cousin of mine. It's more comfortable than an inn, so I came to bother him for a few days." Li Yun dismounted his carriage and tried to explain to Qin Luo'yan beside him.

Qin Luo'yan looked at him suspiciously. This kind of thing, you are the boss, your decision is final. It's not her money anyway, why explain it to her

"I'll tell you, just rest assured and don't think too much about it." Li Yunfan turned his head awkwardly and walked towards the middle-aged man standing at the door.

That middle-aged man was wearing a businessman's hat and golden silk robes. Though his face bore an expression of seriousness, he tried to appear shrewd and vulgar at the same time, making him seem out of place.

He, upon seeing Li Fan, immediately displayed boundless enthusiasm. His eyes were full of sincerity, devoid of any pretense. "Fan'er, your uncle finally got to see you! You must be tired from the journey. Quickly, invite your friends inside to rest."

As the middle-aged man spoke, he couldn't help but glance at the people behind Li Yunfan. His gaze seemed to be searching for something in the crowd, but after looking around, a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes.

Li Yunfan nodded, gave a few instructions to the guard beside him, and the guard captain took his men and followed the steward of Zhuangzi into the estate.

Qin Luo'yan also wanted to follow inside, but she was pulled back by Li Yunfan. She turned back in confusion and saw Li Yunfan introduce her calmly: "Uncle, this is Qin Feng, the friend I told you about. Don't look at his young age, but he's very good at making things. The weapons he makes are so amazing that even I can't help but admire them."

"Is that so" Only then did the middle-aged man take a closer look at Qin Luo'yan, but the heat in his eyes made Qin Luo'yan feel a little tongue-tied.

Was it her imagination How could this man look at her, like a rabid dog seeing a bone, just short of drooling

Li Yunfan silently tugged at the middle-aged man's sleeve and then said to Qin Luoyan, "This is my uncle, Li Zhongzao. You can just call him Uncle Li."

"Mister Li," Qin Luoyan politely bowed.

Li Zhongzhao nodded repeatedly, “Good, good, good. Little brother, are there any other relatives in your family What does your family do Is it a family of artisans Have you ever been married”

"Uh..." Qin Luoyan stared at Li Zhongzao in surprise. She didn't expect him to ask so many questions as soon as they met. Especially, weren't these questions a bit abrupt to ask on the first meeting

"Uncle Li!" Li Yun shouted softly, "We've been traveling for so long, shouldn't we rest first Even if you get along well with Brother Qin, there will be plenty of opportunities to get to know him in the future."

Li Zhongzao then realized he was getting a bit too eager. He quickly calmed down his anxious attitude and personally led the two of them toward the manor.

Logically speaking, Qin Luoyan was just a craftsperson and should have lived with other craftspeople. However, Li Zhongzao didn't know whether it was intentional or not, he directly arranged her and Li Yunfan in the same courtyard.

The courtyard environment was quite elegant. Even though it was winter, the whole courtyard was filled with blooming plum blossoms. With a gentle breeze, their fragrance wafted everywhere. Walking through every corner of the courtyard, you could smell that intoxicating aroma.

After Li Zhengzao led Qin Luoyan to a room, he summoned four maidservants to attend to her before leaving with Li Yunfan.

Four maidservants, each beautiful and charming, lined up to greet Qin Luoyan. This only deepened her confusion. She was now a man, but Li Zhongzao had arranged for all female servants to attend to her. This was unorthodox. According to normal hospitality etiquette, if the guest were male, it would be appropriate to have young boys serve them. Only female guests would be attended by maidservants.

So...

Did Li Zhongzao know she was a woman

Qin Luoyan's heart was filled with confusion, her eyes involuntarily sharpened. Had Li Yanshan told Li Zhongzao that she was a woman And why

After a grueling half-month of travel, the group finally settled in a comfortable courtyard. Everyone felt immensely relieved, so after dinner, they all returned to their rooms and went to sleep.

Qin Luoyan was also tired, but she still worried about Xiao Fan, so after dinner, she went out of the courtyard to see the courtyard where the craftsmen lived.

As soon as she reached the courtyard door, just about to go inside, Lao Liu rushed out to meet her.

“Lao Liu” Qin Luoyan was startled and called out to him.

Lao Liu also saw her and immediately quickened his pace to come before her, "I was just going to find you."

"What's wrong" Seeing Lao Liu's anxious face, Qin Luo'yan couldn't help but feel nervous. She hadn't had a chance to get close to Xiao Fan these past few days, so she asked Lao Liu to keep an eye on Xiao Fan as well. Now that Lao Liu came to her, she worried something had happened to Xiao Fan.

Lao Liu looked around, making sure no one was nearby, before whispering: "You come with me quickly. I just saw Old Xiao and that woman taking Xiao's family out the back door."

"What!" Qin Luoyan was startled, and quickly followed Lao Liu towards the back door. "How long have they been gone Can we catch up"

"Don't worry, I'm not a fool, Lao Liu. I followed them to their hideout and only came back to call you after that. I'll take you there now." Lao Liu patted his chest and said again.

Then Qin Luoyan breathed a sigh of relief and gave Lao Liu a thumbs-up, praising him.

Two people walked out of Zhuangzi's back door and after a cup of tea's worth of time, they finally stopped in front of a small building with lanterns hanging all over it.

Qin Luoyan's facial muscles twitched, and she suspiciously asked, "Are you sure the three of them entered here"
