Respect and Worship 1

In the evening, when it was starting to get a little dark, Qi Qingyao was sitting in the side hall while Lu Yan was talking about his plan at the side. When the two were talking, Steward Zhang suddenly knocked on the door and came in to make a report. 

"Missus, another person has come." 

"Did they not say who they were?" Qi Qingyao asked as she rubbed between her brows. 

"Shang…Shang Li," Steward Zhang said the name with a little quiver.

Qi Qingyao was a little startled.

Lu Yan tilted his head and asked, "The grand master of Northern Liang?"

"...It seems to be him." Steward Zhang felt the cold sweat on his forehead beginning to pour down again. 

Qi Qingyao was, however, calm. Licking her fairly dry lips, she said, "Invite him in."

Steward Zhang then hurriedly went to the front door to invite the person in.
