Qingyun's Love: Tiger Boy Falls in Love with a Pretty Lawyer

After the two of them finished their inquiry, they walked towards the Wu Mansion together. They planned to go to Wu Shao first to ask about the situation. If Wu Shao could help solve the problem, it would naturally be much easier.

After walking around the mansion, they couldn't find any sign of Young Master Wu. They asked the servant, who said he had left early in the morning. They could guess where he had gone. They couldn't decide whether to go look for him.

Ranmo thought it would be okay to ask around in the mansion first. Qingsheng thought for a moment and decided to go to the steward's office to inquire about Li Yi's situation.

The two of them came to the steward's office on the west side of the compound. A servant at the door saw Qingsheng coming and hurriedly bowed to him and let the two of them into the house.

When he entered the room, he saw that the light inside was a little dim, and there were two people leaning on the kang and chatting. Seeing Qingsheng walk in, he hurriedly got off the kang and said, "Hey, Mr. Chu, how come you came to our place when you have time?"

Qingsheng smiled and said, "I'll come see you guys when I have time." One of the two men said quickly, "You're teasing us again. Come and sit down."

"No need. Let's just stand and talk. Today I want to ask you about someone." "Oh, who is it?" "Li Yi."

Hearing the name, the two were stunned for a moment. Then, regaining their composure, they said, "Li Yi has been a craftsman in our mansion for many years. What are you asking about?"

"Oh, that's right. I ran into him recently and chatted with him for a while. He told us that after working here for so many years, he wanted to leave our house and make a living elsewhere due to some reasons. Is that true?"

"Yes, that's true. What else did he tell you?"

"He also said that after discussing this matter with the government, he still hasn't received approval, so he wanted to ask me for a small favor and see if I could talk to the government."

"Oh my god, how could his servants bother you to mediate on his behalf? You don't have to pay any attention to him. Let him come to the palace to talk about his problem."

"You're right. After all, we met. Seeing that he is also an old man in the mansion, I agreed to ask for him. Just give me some face and tell me what happened."

The two men looked at each other awkwardly, and one of them said to Zheng Sheng, "Young Master Chu, it's like this. Originally, if Li Yi wanted to leave the mansion, no one would have stopped him. But he definitely shouldn't have had some disagreements with the master, which led to the delay."

"What exactly happened? Is there any possibility of resolving it?"

"His affairs are a little complicated, and I'm afraid I'll take up your time. Actually, as long as the master agrees to let him go, there will be no problem."

His words seemed sincere, yet also vaguely like a quibble. Qingsheng didn't want to embarrass them. Since they had made it clear that this matter required the master's approval, why not go to Master Wu to discuss both the matter and the solution?

He looked at Ran Mo. Ran Mo also thought that since they were not convenient to talk about it, then they should go find the real culprit. However, he felt a little headache when he thought of Master Wu's behavior.

Qingsheng saw what she was thinking and said with a smile, "It's okay. It's not like we haven't met Master Wu before. There's a saying that goes, 'The more setbacks, the braver you become.'"

Ran Mo quickly winked at him. The two men were also taken aback at first, then pretended not to hear. Qing Sheng didn't care, and waved goodbye to the two men. They politely escorted them out the door.

When they reached the pavilion over there, the two stopped and discussed what to do next, whether to wait for Young Master Wu or go directly to see Master Wu.

Ran Mo gritted his teeth and said, "When you are asked to do something for someone, you can't get a tiger cub without going into the tiger's den."

The fact that he said just two idioms made Qingsheng a little overwhelmed. He said that it was appropriate to compare Mr. Wu to a tiger, but he could not be called a tiger cub, but a real "old" tiger.

The two men burst into laughter. Their lingering uneasiness vanished. They nodded firmly and walked resolutely toward the hall where Master Wu often stayed.

The two came to the door of the hall. The door was not open as usual, so they could not see what was inside.

After waiting for a long time, the door creaked open. A plump maid came out, glanced at them shyly, and asked what was going on.

Qingsheng had never seen her before, so he asked her to tell him that he wanted to see Mr. Wu.

The maid hummed, then turned and went back inside, closing the door behind her. After a moment, she opened the door again and said, "Master wants you to wait outside." Then she went back inside and closed the door behind her, acting mysteriously.

After receiving the news, the two of them waited outside the door calmly. They waited for about a quarter of an hour, but the door did not open again.

Although the two of them didn't think anything was wrong, there was no place to sit outside the door. They wanted to sit on the stone steps nearby, but they were afraid that Master Wu would come out and see them, which would seem impolite. For a moment, they felt a little anxious.

After waiting for a while, no one came out. Qingsheng couldn't help but want to knock on the door. When he reached the door and raised his hand, he saw it open and the maid poked her head out. If he had been any more lucky, she would have been knocked on the head.

The maid said, "Master, please come in and wait." Still waiting? At least they were allowed in. The two of them walked into the house, feeling that today's matter would not be easy.

The two looked around the room; it was empty. Even the maid had gone behind the screen. Just as they were about to sit down on a chair for a while, they heard a burst of laughter from behind the screen. Then, Master Wu came in from behind, followed only by the maid.

Qingsheng hurriedly bowed, and Ranmo also bowed slightly. Master Wu looked at them and said coldly, "No one comes to my house without a reason. What brings you two here, especially you, Ranmo? What brings you here?"

Before Ranmo could answer, Qingsheng rushed to say, "Uncle Wu, today I'm here mainly because of a matter concerning someone in the mansion." Master Wu glanced at him and said, "That's not bad. I thought you guys had come up with some new ideas for Weiye and came to bargain with me."

Qingsheng smiled and said, "Uncle Wu has been very generous. How dare we bother him again?" "Yes, we didn't bother him about Wei Ye's affairs, but now there are new things to bother him about." Mr. Wu said sarcastically.

"Where did we even begin? We want to ask..." "No need to ask. Li Yi has brought this upon himself. If he obeys my orders, I will spare his life. If he becomes my enemy, then let's see what happens."

The two were shocked when they heard this. Could it be that Mr. Wu was so good at predicting things that he knew they were here for Li Yi's matter?

Suddenly, I remembered that when I was discussing things in the steward's office, I felt like there was a shadow outside the door, but I didn't pay much attention to it at the time. Could it be that Master Wu had sent someone to follow them? If so, this old man is quite sinister.

The two of them didn't want to argue with him about this. Since he already knew it was Li Yi's fault, there was no need to lay the groundwork. Qingsheng said, "Then Uncle Wu, can you tell us what exactly happened with Li Yi that made Uncle Wu angry?"

"Let me tell you something. I also want to ask you, are you polite for coming to my house to question me about a craftsman for no reason?" Mr. Wu said aggressively.

Qingsheng was speechless for a moment. He didn't know how to explain the previous situation to him. He looked at Ranmo. Ranmo took over and said, "Hello, Mr. Wu. I introduced myself to you before as a lawyer. I happened to come across this matter involving Li Yi. We wanted to help him come to the mansion to inquire about the situation and see if we can resolve it amicably."

"What reconciliation? Do you know what he has done? You come to me to accuse me! I have been accommodating to you regarding Wei Ye's matter before, and now you are challenging me over a craftsman's matter. What do I owe you?" Mr. Wu became more and more excited as he spoke, and even blurted out obscene words.
