Chapter 305 Do You Know - Xiao Qinshi 32

Liang Duzhi had no idea that the young lady in front of him was so sharp-minded. She discovered the clue just from his tone. At this moment, Liang Duzhi had lost his usual vigilance and was thinking about what the little fairy in his heart wanted to see him about.

After arriving at Ronghua Palace, the clerk led Liang Duzhi straight inside. Qin Wanrong was waiting in the front hall of the main courtyard. All the palace maids in Ronghua Palace had been transferred away by Qin Wanrong. After the clerk came back, there were only Qin Wanrong, the clerk and Liang Duzhi in the entire hall.

Liang Duzhi walked to Qin Wanrong and stood not far away to salute as he did before. In the quiet space, under the flickering candlelight, the 'man' in front of him seemed more masculine and oppressive than in the daytime. To be honest, if Qin Wanrong did not know Liang Duzhi's identity as a 'eunuch', no one else would be able to tell that Liang Duzhi was not a man.

"Liang Duzhi, I came to you this time because I have something to ask you."

Qin Wanrong didn't want to test him anymore. She wanted to tell Liang Duzhi the truth because he was such a smart man who had feelings for her.

"Ms. Rong is too polite. As the governor of the East Factory, I will certainly tell you everything I know."

"This is a long story, why don't you sit down first, Brother Liang?" Qin Wanrong didn't want to talk like this. She couldn't see Liang Duzhi's expression from this angle and it was difficult to make a judgment.

"A beauty is of noble status, and you are a poor fellow..." Liang Duzhi wanted to refuse, but Qin Wanrong did not give him the chance to refuse. She simply stood up and walked to his side, holding his sleeve. Being held so intimately by the person he had been longing for, Liang Duzhi forgot everything. He was stupidly led by Qin Wanrong to sit on the chair opposite Qin Wanrong.

The clerk at the side saw everything clearly, but fortunately she was very sensible. Even though her pupils were trembling with surprise and her heart was full of exclamation marks, she still remembered to hold back a scream and "calmly" pretended that she didn't exist.

It was not until Qin Wanrong left and sat back on the chair opposite that Liang Duzhi came to his senses. His face flushed red and his eyes avoided looking directly at Qin Wanrong.

Liang Duzhi was not stupid, he knew clearly that Qin Wanrong was very smart, so when he woke up from Qin Wanrong's sudden move to get close to him, he knew clearly that Qin Wanrong should have seen his feelings for her. And Qin Wanrong's previous behavior was to use his feelings for her to get him to help her do something difficult.

Liang Duzhi couldn't help but feel bitter when he thought of this. Why would a concubine in the harem come to him, her personal eunuch, other than vying for favor?

Do you like the official so much? In order to gain the official's favor, he is even willing to personally go into battle to win me over...

"Not!"

"What's not?" Liang Duzhi hadn't realized that he had just accidentally asked what was in his mind. He turned around and looked at Qin Wanrong stupidly with aggrieved eyes.

This was the first time that Qin Wanrong saw Liang Duzhi in such a close distance. She had to admit that Liang Duzhi had grown up to be much better than she had imagined. What particularly attracted her was his dog eyes that she had never been able to see clearly. Who would have thought that Liang Duzhi, a cold-blooded and ruthless lone wolf who was only loyal to the government, would have such a pair of dog eyes that looked so wronged and pitiful?

Seeing him so aggrieved, he almost cried! Really, he is kind of cute. Sure enough, Liang Duzhi is more pleasing to me than Guan Jia.

"You asked me if I was using you like this because I liked the emperor and wanted to win his favor. My answer is 'No'!"

"!!!!!!"

Not only Liang Duzhi himself was surprised, but even the clerk who had been holding back because of Qin Wanrong's sudden action could not help himself.

"Miss, what are you talking about? You and the emperor are in love with each other!" The clerk hurriedly started to call Qin Wanrong Miss, interrupting her and winking at her, meaning, 'Miss, how can you say such a thing when Liang Duzhi, the emperor's confidant, is here? Make it up quickly!!!'

"There's nothing to hide about this, right?" Qin Wanrong calmly poured herself a cup of tea, drank it slowly, and then smiled and told the clerk to calm down: "Clerk, pay attention to your eyes, they're cramping, calm down!"

Then he poured a cup of tea for Liang Duzhi sitting opposite him and motioned for him to drink it. Liang Duzhi obediently took it and drank it in small sips with great care.

"I don't think Brother Liang can't see it. I can even feel that the emperor probably doesn't have much affection for me. It's just lust after me!"

"Miss..." After hearing what Qin Wanrong said, the clerk calmed down. She was not stupid. She knew that her young lady was just a romantic affair in the emperor's heart ever since she received a jade hairpin instead of an imperial edict when her young lady came of age.

Although no one knew what happened afterwards that made the emperor remember his young lady and issue an imperial decree to summon her to the palace, the clerk did not think that the emperor had thought it through and was sure that he had deep feelings for the young lady.

Wenshu's mother died young. When she was alive, his father and mother had a very good relationship. Even though his mother only gave birth to him as a daughter after ten years of marriage, his father never blamed her. But he didn't expect that less than a year after his mother's death, his father remarried his stepmother and brought back a son who was only a few years younger than himself.

From then on, the clerk lost all his expectations for men and was full of doubts about men's feelings. In order not to make Qin Wanrong sad, the clerk never said much before, but he didn't expect that the young lady also thought the same way.

The clerk felt sad for Qin Wanrong, but also happy for her. The sad young lady was pitiful. Her parents favored the eldest daughter and the eldest son, and she was always ignored. She wanted to be praised by her parents, and she didn't know how much effort she had to put in behind the scenes. After her parents died, she was abandoned by her brothers and sisters. She finally had a "sweetheart", but the sweetheart was not sincere enough...

"Wen Shu, please don't feel sorry for me. I am only doing this for power, because I am unwilling to accept the consequences, and to get rid of the control of the Dongchang Marquis' Mansion!"

After Qin Wanrong comforted the clerk, she turned to look at Liang Duzhi who was listening, "I think Brother Liang should have seen this a long time ago."

Liang Duzhi nodded. He didn't notice it at first. After all, Qin Wanrong was too secretive and looked too "innocent". But Liang Duzhi was a certain kind of person. No matter how innocent she was, she would no longer be innocent after encountering her too many times.

Liang Duzhi just didn't want to tarnish the little fairy in his heart, so he tried not to think like that, but he was somewhat disappointed in his heart. However, when he saw the cold eyes of Qin Wanrong when she met the emperor, he was unwilling to regard Qin Wanrong as the same as those vulgar people who were busy with their own business.

In this mood, Liang Duzhi's feelings for Qin Wanrong were very shallow in the early stage, until Qin Wanrong simply rejected the emperor's jade hairpin. At first, Liang Duzhi thought that Qin Wanrong was playing tricks and wanted to play hard to get in order to gain status, so he deliberately revealed to the emperor that Qin Wanrong did not have deep feelings for him.
