184 Asking Mr. Liang
As expected, Xiao Lang’s mind was disturbed. He replied loudly, “He’s gone!”
Jian Qingqing nodded thoughtfully. Xiao Ye still did not know what had happened in Cairo City. All he knew was that they were heading to the academy. They could not let Xiao Ye know about this, but they still needed to let Mr. Liang know.
She patted Xiao Lang’s head and said, “Where’s Big Brother Ming? Why didn’t you ask him to come to eat?”
Xiao Lang said in puzzlement, “I didn’t see him today.”
The cook at the side quickly said, “I don’t know what Lord is busy with today. He didn’t eat breakfast either. I heard that he has been working all morning.”
Jian Qingqing looked at her in surprise. “He didn’t go to sleep?”
The cook shook her head.
Jian Qingqing thought for a moment and brought Xiao Lang to look for him.
Jian Qingqing knew Ming Zhiyan’s office was in the study in the front yard. She asked the servant to go in and inform him. In a short while, he came out.
He asked curiously, “Miss Jian, is there something wrong?”
Jian Qingqing looked at the blackness under his eyes and his obviously haggard face. She said, “I heard that you haven’t eaten breakfast today. Let’s go. Let’s go eat lunch now.”
Ming Zhiyan looked up at the sky and only then did he react. “It’s so late already?”
Jian Qingqing said helplessly, “Yeah, can’t you feel hungry? Also, you haven’t slept for two days. After eating, Go and rest for a while. Otherwise, how can you do things if your brain becomes stupid?”
Ming Zhiyan had never heard of the saying that one’s brain would become stupid if they did not sleep. He thought that he had settled most of the things, so he smiled and nodded. “Okay, I’ll go and eat with you guys.”
After eating, Jian Qingqing asked Xiao Lang to watch Ming Zhiyan as he slept, while she went to the school hall.
There was no lunch break after eating in the school hall, so when she went there, the sound of reading came from the school. She asked the guard to inform them, then stood outside under the big tree and waited.
Jian Qingqing used to wait here when she sent food to Xiao Hu and the others. Later, when she set up a stall in the county town, she did not come here anymore. The marks she previously left on the tree out of boredom had disappeared.
Mr. Liang followed the guard out and saw Jian Qingqing standing upright under the tree. he shouted, “Miss Jian!”
Jian Qingqing turned around, bowed, and said respectfully, “Hello, Mr. Liang.”
Before the matter was fully investigated, he was still the teacher she respected.
Mr. Liang jogged over. He had many questions to ask, so he said, “Miss Jian, what’s going on? Why didn’t Xiao Ye go to the Academy? Could it be that there’s really a trap like Lord Ming said?”
God knows how surprised he was when he saw Xiao Ye in the academy today. He did not know anything even if he asked him. So, even if Jian Qingqing did not come, he planned to go to their house and ask.
Jian Qingqing took out the invitation letter from the prefectural academy and handed it to Mr. Liang. She said, “Mr. Liang, have you read this invitation letter?”
Mr. Liang took it and opened it while saying with certainty, “Of course!”
He did not know why Miss Jian wanted him to read it again.
Jian Qingqing said, “Open it and read it again. This time, see if you have found any problems.”
Mr. Liang looked at it word by word in puzzlement. He did not find any problems. Wasn’t this the same as the invitation letters of the Academy?
Because of his doubts, he looked at it very carefully. When he finally saw the seal on the name of the academy, he asked in surprise, “This… how can this be Mr. Wu’s private seal?!”
