Chapter 22 Section five

After nightfall the next day, Boya came to Qingming's mansion with a blushing face. Just like yesterday, Boya and Seimei sat facing each other on the narrow corridor. "Qingming, this matter is really strange..." Boya muttered as soon as he sat down. "Did Master Jianjia say that I don't need to make a trip?" "That's right. After reading your letter, Kane-sama scratched his head and said, 'It turns out that Abe Seimei-sama has predicted everything. It's really convincing...'" "It must be so." "He also asked me to convey my thanks on his behalf, saying that I appreciate your concern very much."

"Sure enough..." "Hey, Qingming, I can't figure out what's going on at all. If I don't solve this mystery, I don't think I can sleep tonight. So, I just came here uninvited." "Didn't Master Kane explain it to you?" "Master Kane said, Lord Seimei should know all the truth, and asked me to ask you directly." "So that's the case, then, I have to say it." "Tell me, what is going on?" "To put it simply, all of this is a scam designed by Master Kanjia." "scam?" "It's a lie."

"lie?" "That is to say, what kind of ghosts he encountered at night, what kind of archmage swallowed the oxen of the bullock cart, etc., all these are lies." "How is it possible? Why, why would he tell such a lie..." "Because Kane-sama fell in love with another woman, the fact should be like this." "woman?" "That's right. Probably he was pursuing another woman a long time ago, and he suddenly received a reply from the other party that night. Since he couldn't go to the residence of the concubine who has friendship with you, he made up such a lie to come To cover up his reasons for not going."

"what!" "Besides, that concubine who was neglected actually knew that Master Kanjia had lied." "Since that's the case, why can that concubine entrust me to take care of it?" After Boya finished speaking, Seimei smiled slightly. "Because you are a good man." "I?" "Well, the other party probably thinks that if you discuss it with you, you will definitely drag me out." "..." "Once I appear on the stage, I will immediately see through Master Kanjia's lies. She is trying to make things big and make Master Kanjia embarrass."

"But……" "Anyway, since the Kane family-sama ordered me not to go there, it means that my guess is completely correct." "What did you write in the letter?" "That's what I'm telling you right now..." "But there's one thing I don't understand. How do you know all this?" "why?" "Didn't Miss Chaozi tell you a long time ago?" "Miss Chaozi?" "It's the story of that Jae-gong." "In public?" "It's the story of Mr. Yuan Yeping." "What are you talking about? I don't understand at all."

"The story about the monster eating the woman is exactly the story of Mr. Zahara Yeping." "what?" "Haven't you read the stories that have been going on at court lately?" "what story?" "The story is called, and the content is quite interesting. There is a story about a monster eating a woman." "But, why did you see through Mr. Kane's lie?" "of course can." "why?" "That story actually has a follow-up. It happened like this. When Mr. Ye Ping eloped with a woman, Minister Horihe found out on the way."

"..." "That woman is actually the queen of Ertiao. When Lord Ye Ping was about to take her away, he was interrogated by her brother, Minister Juehe, and he snatched back the queen of Ertiao on the spot. However, as expected of Lord Ye Ping, he did not say that the woman was robbed The thing about going back, but said that it was eaten by monsters, and even used Yelu as a reference, and created a waka, shaping the whole process into a poignant story..." "That……" "Miss Chaozi knows all the facts. In order not to embarrass you, she deliberately told you the story of Ye Pinggong, implying that everything her father told was a lie."

"what……" Boya's voice sounded out of his mind. "It's so unexpected! It turns out that this is the case..." Boya's rough shoulders slumped. "Don't be discouraged, Boya..." "I feel like everyone thinks I'm a fool." "That's not the case. In fact, everyone likes you very much, Mr. Jianjia, Miss Chaozi, and me too. That's why everyone is concerned about your face. That concubine also likes you very much. It is because I like you that I I just want to use you so blindly." "Qingming, you may think that you have comforted me by saying this, but I'm not happy at all."

"Although there is no need to be happy, there is no need to be sad either. To everyone, you are an indispensable person. To me too..." "Well." "Because of you, you are really a good guy." Seimei said. "But I'm still not happy." Boya murmured with a complicated expression. Seimei scratched his head in a dilemma. "Want to drink?" "drink." So the two drank freely again.
