Preparation
Preparation
Wei Liuying eyed Yang Xian, but she didn't try to engage in conversation with him. She knew that he wouldn't expose her because there was nothing that he could gain from doing that aside from getting another enemy. Based on her understanding about Yang Xian, he would not do something so stupid.
However, this would mean that he had gained a card that he could use against her if he wanted to.
How troublesome.
Putting the thought to the back of her mind, Wei Liuying strode out. She could see Huo from the side. Huo also noticed Wei Liuying and quickly came over to her direction.
"Let's go back first. There's no other classes in the afternoon."
"Yes, Young Master."
Wei Hong Zheng himself also didn't like to stay in the library for too long because he couldn't catch up with the intelligence of many students there. He would only feel that he was severely lacking whenever he was listening to those students. Even though his age could give him a bit of leeway, he was still quite lacking compared to many other boys around the same age.
Wei Liuying chose not to think too much about it. She was not interested in her second brother's problems too. As long as she acted like him and passed by the three days' hunt safely, it was all more than enough. She could care less about anything else.
When she came back to the residence, she headed back to Wei Hong Zheng residence. "I have returned, Second Brother."
"En," Wei Hong Zheng acknowledged it. He was currently reading a book that Teacher Luo asked him to study.
"Second Brother, do you know about First Brother's relationship with Xie Jing and Prince Ji Shao Yang?"
"Xie Jing?" Wei Hong Zheng furrowed his brows. "That man is a troublemaker even in Prime Minister Xie's residence. It's always said that he's a failure of the family, so I think that my brother gets close to him."
"So you know, Second Brother?"
"Well, they occasionally study together. I don't understand why a failure like him would even get close with First Brother."
Wei Liuying's lips twitched. In private, Wei Hong Zheng would not mind his speech that much and usually became more unrestrained. Also, she knew that Xie Jing was known as troublemaker, but that young man's intelligence was still far higher compared to normal people. He was quite a formidable person in Wei Liuying's opinion.
The one who was actually closer to be a failure was the young man before her…
She would never say this out loud, though.
Besides, he was still young, so he still has a lot of rooms for improvement. If he was diligent enough, he might be able to accomplish something big in the future. Who knew what will happen in the future?
"Is that something important?" Wei Hong Zheng tilted his head. "I don't really have any friend that's close with me, so it shouldn't matter that much even if you act as me."
"It's nothing much, Second Brother. I'll take my leave."
"Ok. I won't see you out."
As Wei Liuying slipped out of the residence, Wei Hong Zheng turned his head to look at Huo, who was standing silently on the edge of the room.
"How did it go?"
"It's good, Young Master."
"Do you think there would be anyone who suspect her?" Wei Hong Zheng asked nonchalantly.
Huo was silent for a moment. He had seen when Wei Liuying acted as Wei Hong Zheng before and it would be a lie if he said that he didn't feel the chills. The way Wei Liuying acted so naturally make him afraid of her. She looked nonchalant and arrogant, the perfect copy of Wei Hong Zheng as if it was already part of her nature.
"Huo?"
"I don't think anyone will suspect her unless they got close enough," Huo replied.
Wei Hong Zheng turned his eyes back to his book. "Then make sure no one can get close."
"Yes, Young Master."
Returning back to her own residence, Wei Liuying stretched her body and changed her clothes. Even though the men's robes were simpler, she still preferred her women clothing. After all, she was still a woman at heart.
"Miss, can I follow you tomorrow?" Xiao Qing asked with worried tone.
Wei Liuying shook her head. "You should stay here and take care of everything. If I didn't come back from the hunt, you should be leaving too."
Xiao Qing was taken aback when she sensed that Wei Liuying had slipped a slip of bamboo to her. She had learnt how to read and write in the past because she wanted to help Wei Liuying.
"Read this when you're absolutely alone," Wei Liuying mouthed out.
"Yes, Miss."
Wei Liuying smiled. "Good girl. I don't have the plan to leave during the hunt, but just in case, you two need to take care of yourself."
"Yes, Miss."
Xiao Qing felt her heart was heavy after hearing what Wei Liuying said. Her eyes were reddened as she looked at her Miss, but she still obeyed. After all, she knew that no matter what she said, she would still follow what Wei Liuying said.
After settling that, Wei Liuying sighed and returned to her bed. She lied on top of it and looked at the ceiling.
Hopefully, nothing will go wrong in the hunt.
She needed to come back in one piece to finish her final preparation in order to ensure that she could bring both Xiao Qing and Xiao Yu out safely with her.
