But that clearly out-of-place joke left him with a sense of unease.
'...What the hell is this bumpkin trying to pull?'
He felt he couldn't quite see through him anymore.
Recalling their idle chat, the more he mulled it over, the more certain he became that there were hidden meanings in the other man's words...
Xue Yi sat back down, his brow deeply furrowed. After a long moment, he suddenly ordered, "Keep a close eye on him. See what he's really up to."
The maids and servants were stunned for a moment. They exchanged glances, and then one maid curtsied. "Yes."
After leaving Xue Yi's courtyard, Qin Fang didn't return to his own B Courtyard. Instead, he walked toward the front... to A Courtyard Number 18.
He narrowed his eyes and knocked on the door.
Soon, a woman's voice came from inside the room. "Who is it?"
Qin Fang smiled and replied, "A neighbor, just getting acquainted. Is this the residence of Young Master Fu Chen?"
