Qian Yuanbao wanted to know more about the detailed process, but there were too many people, making it inconvenient to speak. He could only suppress the urge to ask and talk about the shad fish he brought today.
Qian Yuanbao was proficient in all aspects of eating, drinking, and playing, and he praised the few shad fish as if they were heavenly delicacies.
"Young Master Qian, your servants said they have an urgent matter to report and are waiting at the courtyard entrance," a little maid from Li Nuan's courtyard reported.
He had instructed them before that he would not handle any matters today. Even if the sky fell, there would be taller people to bear it. Did he raise a bunch of useless people?
"You all chat, I'll go out and see," Qian Yuanbao said with a smile, but in his heart, he cursed all the servants of the Qian family. If it wasn't a matter of utmost urgency, he would skin them alive.
Li Nuan was a very understanding girl. She smiled gently, "Go quickly."
Qian Yuanbao's heart skipped a beat, and he walked out with unsteady steps.
"Young Master, that Feng Baizhao has found his way to our mansion. The steward has appeased him for now. What do you think we should do?" the servant whispered anxiously.
Qian Yuanbao jolted. The previous floating feeling was shattered by these words. "Didn't we send him away before?"
The servant also looked confused. "This servant doesn't know. Anyway, the person is back, shouting that he wants to see the young master."
Qian Yuanbao felt a headache coming on. He had forgotten about such a person. No, even if such a person existed, what did it have to do with him? At that time, he just liked to listen to his singing, and he hadn't done anything! Since that was the case, why should he be worried? He could just have someone send him away again.
"Alright, have the steward handle this. As long as no lives are harmed!" Qian Yuanbao said.
The servant looked troubled. "That Feng Baizhao threatened that if he doesn't see you, he will go out and announce his relationship with you to everyone."
Qian Yuanbao was stunned. What relationship did Feng Baizhao have with him? He didn't know what relationship it was! At that time, he mistakenly thought Feng Baizhao was a woman. Since there was no engagement, he often went to support him. Later, the troupe leader of the Hongde Troupe, guessing his intentions, sent Feng Baizhao to the hot spring villa. When he found out he was a man, he was so scared that he ran away. Later, he asked Baifu to handle Feng Baizhao, and Baifu said he had taken money.
He took money and still pestered him. What kind of logic was that?
Qian Yuanbao felt wronged. There was clearly nothing between them, yet Feng Baizhao spoke as if there was! As expected, actors are actors; they are good at putting on a show.
Seeing Qian Yuanbao in a daze, the servant couldn't help but call out to him, "Young Master, are we going back or not?"
Go back? How could he not go back? If this matter was not handled properly, and Feng Baizhao spoke out, would his hard-won reputation improve? People enjoyed watching a spectacle. They wouldn't care about the truth of the matter, only whether it was eye-catching enough.
With the precedent of Qian Yuanbao and the well-known popular male actor, Qian Yuanbao shivered. He could almost foresee the consequences if this matter leaked. He thought of his grandmother's dragon-headed crutch, which was personally bestowed by the Emperor and was very painful when used to hit people. And his little wife, what if she believed this and was heartbroken?
"Wait here for a moment, I'll go in and tell Miss Li," Qian Yuanbao said.
"Um, there's an urgent matter at home, and I have to go back and deal with it quickly. Ah Nuan, please tell the two aunts for me that I won't be eating here at noon today." Qian Yuanbao went inside and said, "Also, if anyone says anything bad about me later, don't believe them. You just need to believe and remember that I love you."
