404 Old Master’s Mysterious Disappearance
She was not discriminating based on class, but she was familiar with the rotten habits of the children of nobles. The commoners would only be their lackeys if they studied together—and they would not have a choice.
She would not let this happen.
They talked about school for a while before An Jiuyue changed the subject to the Prince Zhan Yun Residence.
“Elder Ding, you’ve been in the capital for many years. You must know a lot about the capital. Where did that old woman from the Prince Zhan Yun residence come from?”
“The Prince Zhan Yun Residence?” Elder Ding Nuo raised his eyebrows but did not make a fuss.
He had roughly investigated the two people who had come yesterday. They were from the Prince Zhan Yun Residence. Today, they returned with the Young Master. It was obvious that the Young Master was with them.
“The Old Madam of the Prince Zhan Yun Residence is not from a noble family. She was initially a servant of the Qian family’s old master. I don’t know how she became Madam.
“However, Xue Yingyue has someone backing her, and there are several of them. I looked into it before, but I couldn’t find everything. There should be someone even more mysterious supporting her, but I haven’t found them yet.”
An Jiuyue was a little surprised. How many people were supporting her?
But why would someone with so much support appear at Qian Jiyun’s residence? Did the Qian family’s ancestors exhume the ancestral graves of many families in Daqing Kingdom?
As if he could read An Jiuyue’s mind, Ding Nuo continued, “Young Master, the Qian family is not from Daqing Kingdom.”
“The Qian family migrated from the other side of the Northern Sea 100 years ago. Our people have yet to find out their origin.
“However, it is said that the Qian family’s great-grandfather is very skilled in martial arts. He brought a supreme treasure with him when he arrived in Daqing Kingdom. However, it has been 100 years, and no one has seen it.”
Everyone would be curious about the treasure and want it for themselves, right?
He reckoned that the people behind Xue Yingyue were also looking for the treasure. Otherwise, they were after something else in the Qian family.
“Also, I think Xue Yingyue has something to do with Old Master Qian’s mysterious disappearance.”
“Disappearance?” An Jiuyue blinked and looked at him.
Disappearance? Mysterious disappearance? Was it still unknown if Qian Jiyun’s father was still alive?
She finally understood why Xue Yingyue was so arrogant and tormented the siblings at the Prince Zhan Yun residence. Qian Jiyun had already endured it like a Ninja Turtle, but he still continued tolerating it.
Could his father still be alive and in the hands of Xue Yingyue or the people behind her?
If the situation had been as she had guessed, she would have endured it too.
“Did you find anything?” she asked Elder Ding Nuo anxiously.
Elder Ding Nuo shook his head. “Many years have passed. Although we’ve been receiving information, I don’t know much about the Prince Zhan Yun Residence.”
The Qian family was indeed very mysterious. His master had accomplished so much back then but was not conferred the title of ‘Zhan’1. Meanwhile, Qian Jiyun was only a prince of the second rank, but he was already given the title of ‘Zhan’.
The old emperor had to have his own plans.
