Chapter 915: What a Coincidence with 915
Since the Princess Consort of Qing returned, this was Liu Yunqing’s first visit, and the Princess Consort had been staying at Songye Temple for years. Old Master Liu only went to see the Princess Consort once when he left back then, to inform her about the family’s departure.
So, when the Liu Family Head was suddenly mentioned, the Princess Consort of Qing was a little confused.
Ye Jiu instructed, "Invite him in."
After the servant who reported this left, Ye Jiu explained, "The current head of the Liu Family is Liu Yunqing."
When Liu Yunqing came in, he first paid his respects to the Princess Consort of Qing as his aunt, then politely cupped his hands to Mrs. He.
Although he hadn’t formally met Mrs. He, being Ye Jiu’s foster mother, he naturally had done his research.
"Did Yunqing come today for a matter?" the Princess Consort of Qing inquired.
"I took a long trip before the new year, and when I returned, I heard that Aunt had come back to the Royal Residence, but I never found the time to visit, and on the second day of the new year, Aunt didn’t come home, so I came to check today."
The Princess Consort of Qing was stunned, "It seems it’s my fault; some things happened in the residence these last two days, and I forgot to go home."
The Princess Consort of Qing didn’t say that she had no intention of returning to the Liu Family after the family head changed.
Although Liu Yunqing was her maternal nephew, he used to be from a concubine line and wasn’t valued much at home. A son of a concubine like him didn’t have much interaction with her, and there wasn’t anyone close to meet upon returning to the Liu Family.
Moreover, to the Liu Family, she was a sinner, her brother’s family was gone, so who would she go back to see?
"Don’t blame Aunt, since Father and several brothers are not present, as a junior, it’s Yunqing’s duty to visit Aunt."
Liu Yunqing also knew about the incident in Qin Zhou, and coupled with the widely spread news in the capital city that the Prince intended to take a concubine, his visit was partly to find out the Princess Consort’s exact situation.
After all, the Liu Family’s previous downfall was due to the Princess Consort of Qing.
Yet now, under his leadership, the Liu Family relied on the Commandery Princess to rise again. The Princess Consort of Qing hadn’t been deposed, making the Liu Family and the Princess Consort still seem like they’re tied to the same fate in others’ eyes.
And he also wanted to meet the Commandery Princess.
Liu Yunqing’s gaze only briefly swept over Ye Jiu before he dared not look.
The former country girl had blossomed into such an elegant figure, yet she was also something he was no longer worthy of.
With Liu Yunqing present, the Princess Consort of Qing and Mrs. He couldn’t speak as freely as they did before. However, Liu Yunqing was in business, especially women’s business, and was quite skilled at pleasing people.
Particularly Mrs. He, knowing that Liu Yunqing managed industries for Ye Jiu, was even more enthusiastic towards him.
Moreover, by status, this Young Master Liu was Xiaojiu’s cousin, handsome and courteous. If he and Jiujiu could become a match, it wouldn’t be a bad marriage.
Without giving Mrs. He much time to think, Liang Xia hurriedly ran to Ye Jiu’s side and whispered in her ear, "Commandery Princess, the War King is here, but the Prince invited him to the study."
Ye Jiu then realized her oversight.
As an unrelated male, Liu Yunqing could directly enter the Royal Residence’s inner courtyard because he was the Princess Consort’s maternal nephew, but Sikong Mo and the Prince of Qing had no relation. Visiting naturally couldn’t bypass the Prince’s scrutiny.
Ye Jiu sighed, thinking how coincidental it was that Liu Yunqing also came today!
