The Duke's Daughter is Reborn

Chapter 272 Why did Bai Yuxin come here?

When Yang Qi came out of the house, he saw Adu in the lobby, holding a teapot and chatting with the waiter from before.

However, Yang Qi was on the third floor, which was quite far from the lobby, so he couldn't hear the specific content of what Adu and the waiter were saying.

Adu was chatting happily, and Yang Qi didn't want to disturb him. When he was about to go back to the house, he caught a glimpse of a woman on the fifth floor who was about to go out. She was wearing a white dress, which was very fairy-like and very eye-catching.

Although the woman covered her face with a white veil, Yang Qi recognized her identity at first sight. She was the granddaughter of Prime Minister Bai - Bai Yuxin.

The reason why Yang Qi was able to recognize her was because Bai Yuxin's elegant figure and powerful aura were unique even in Beijing.

Over the years, Yang Qi has attended quite a few banquets, and because of Mr. Yang, he has met Bai Yuxin quite often.

Such a woman with elegant temperament can attract everyone's attention and excitement no matter where she is.

Suddenly, Yang Qi saw Bai Yuxin's eyes glancing in his direction, and he immediately wanted to lower his head to cover himself. He knew Bai Yuxin, and Bai Yuxin also knew a lot about the Third Miss of Duke Song's Mansion. If he was recognized by Bai Yuxin, all his hard work for so many days would be wasted.

Fortunately at this moment, Yang Qi's reason overcame the impulse, and he tried his best to resist the urge to subconsciously avoid it. Yang Qi stared blankly in Bai Yuxin's direction with an obsessed look on his face, just like everyone else present.

Bai Yuxin, like Yang Lan, has very sharp eyes. As long as Yang Qi reveals the slightest flaw, she will become suspicious.

Being targeted by a noble lady like Bai Yuxin who is smart and has connections is a very troublesome thing!

Fortunately, Yang Qi handled it very well.

With the blessing of her status and appearance, ordinary people would be obsessed with Bai Yuxin just by seeing her back. If they had the opportunity to see Miss Bai from the front, they would be extremely excited.

Now, although Bai Yuxin did not reveal her identity directly, just looking at the money and the guards, even a fool could tell that this woman had an extraordinary identity.

Just like now, Bai Yuxin's appearance and turning around immediately caused a loud noise in the originally quiet inn.

The men all stretched their necks, wanting to catch a glimpse of the noble lady's beauty, while the women all looked envious, envious of her background and appearance.

Seeing Yang Qi's face full of envy and surprise, Bai Yuxin just glanced at him coldly with contempt and then looked away.

Perhaps it was because Bai Yuxin was already standing on the fifth floor and Yang Qi was on a lower floor. From the look in Bai Yuxin's eyes, Yang Qi saw the pride that belonged only to those in a high position, as well as the disdain for the poor people.

Although his face was still full of envy, Yang Qi could not help but sigh in his heart. In the capital, Bai Yuxin always wore a gentle and generous smile every time she appeared at the table, which made people unable to find fault with her. But in Xihu, this small inn far away from the emperor, she displayed such arrogance and nobility, which was really different from her appearance in the capital.

In the past two days, Yang Qi was still curious about why Mr. Yang favored her so much and praised her so much in the letter from his close friend?

Now that I think about it, Mr. Yang must have been very sharp-eyed and had already seen through the selfishness and coldness behind Bai Yuxin's gentleness and kindness.

Bai Yuxin glanced around and didn't find the inquiring gaze just now, so he withdrew his gaze. He thought that he was too tired from traveling recently and was a little dazed.

Only when Bai Yuxin disappeared from his sight did Yang Qi turn around and leave with regret.

On the other side, Adu, who had asked the waiter for hot water, came back contentedly with a teapot full of hot water.

Seeing his master Yang Qi standing outside, Ah Du asked curiously, "Why are you standing outside the house and not going in?"

Glancing at Ah Du who was holding the teapot, Yang Qi smiled and said, "Master, you are in a hurry to drink water. I came out to look for you. I saw you coming back from a distance just now, so I thought of waiting here for a while."

Ah Du shook the teapot in his hand and said, "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long today."

As soon as he entered the house, Yang Qi locked it, found a pen and paper, and quickly wrote: The person who booked the upper room is Bai Yuxin, the granddaughter of Prime Minister Bai. Do you know why she came here?

Bai Yuxin stayed here so high-profile that she even brought her cook with her. I guess she didn't put much thought into hiding her identity and purpose. So it should be easy to find out her purpose.

Looking at what his master wrote, Adu was a little shocked. He had asked around and only got vague answers. But after his master went out for a walk, he actually got a definite answer?

However, Adu immediately understood. He thought that Bai Yuxin was recognized by the master when he just left the house. The master and Bai Yuxin were both disciples of Mr. Yang, so they must have had a lot of contact with each other on a daily basis.

After thinking for a while, Ah Du wrote on the paper: There is more than one noble person on the fifth floor. According to what the waiter just said, there is a group of noble people who came to worship their ancestors in the inn. They use independent stables, kitchens, etc.

This also explains why Yang Qi and his friends saw only a few horses in the stable.

Frowning, Yang Qi was a little curious. Isn't the Bai family's old nest in Jiangnan? When did the Bai family's ancestors appear in Xihu?

Moreover, I haven't heard any related news in the British Mansion these days.

Even though his adoptive parents didn't want him to know and didn't mention it, Guangming Hall didn't get the news.

Apart from coughing a few times dutifully, Chen Jing didn't say anything else.

Along the way, Chen Jing has been as "calm" as his name.

Sitting back at the dinner table, Yang Qi fell into deep thought. What on earth was the Bai family doing?

When I left Beijing, I met Bai Yuwei, and when I returned to Beijing, I met Bai Yuxin again. The actions of these younger generations of the Bai family have been too frequent recently.

After taking a bite of the white steamed bun, Yang Qi fell into a dilemma.

Recently, the Bai family has been very active, and Bai Yuxin is in his sight again. Should he keep an eye on Bai Yuxin's actions to see what the Bai family will do next, or should he go straight back to Beijing?

However, Bai Yuxin came here in a swagger. Even if his "Guangmingtang" could not get any news, didn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince send someone to keep an eye on him?

An idea suddenly struck Yang Qi, he put down the steamed bun and quickly wrote on the paper: If there are any secret guards of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince nearby, is there any way to contact them?

Yang Qi was asking this question to Chen Jing. It was obvious that since Adu was assigned to his side, Peilin had changed all the contact information. Now, even if Adu wanted to contact him, he had no way to do so.

The only breakthrough is Chen Jing.

Looking at the lady's question, Chen Jing hesitated for a while and nodded.

After getting the exact answer, Yang Qi wrote on the paper: Tonight, find someone. As for how to contact, Yang Qi was not interested. However, even if he asked, Chen Jing would not answer.

Xihu is far away from the capital, and Yang Qi and his companions were traveling non-stop all the way. Even if there was news from the capital, the person who delivered the news might not be as fast as Yang Qi and his companions.

Right now, the only way to find out about Bai Yuxin's affairs is to rely on the secret guards sent by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
