Ning Ge snapped his fingers, his eyes gleaming as he said, "I think I might know why!"
His sudden exclamation startled the contemplative Ning Gang, who couldn’t help but scold, "Just speak, what’s with all the hullabaloo?"
Ning Ge chuckled and took a seat, saying, "I know why Jiang Conghe wants to send Big Brother Qi to the borderlands!"
"What send to the borderlands, it was just a nomination, don’t talk nonsense!" Ning Gang chided softly.
"Then you tell me, why?" Old Master Ning was very curious. What had his son discovered?
Feigning an air of mysterious profundity, Ning Ge teased, "Before we talk about anything else, let me ask you first, you’ve all met Jiang Conghe during the New Year’s festivities and such, right? Did you notice anything amiss?"
Old Master Ning leaned back in his chair, "I didn’t really attend the festivities this year, you’d have to ask your elder brother about that."
After some thought, Ning Gang said, "There wasn’t anything amiss, ah!"
"Really? Think again!" Ning Ge insisted.
Ning Gang tried to recall once more but couldn’t think of anything, growing impatient, he said, "What is it, you rascal, still playing coy?"
Ning Ge, finding no amusement but also not daring to bluff, continued, "Big brother, you might not know, but I do. That daughter of Jiang Conghe, what’s her name? Ah, Chiang Qing, seems to have taken a liking to Big Brother Qi!"
"What?"
Ning Gang and Old Master Ning both looked stunned.
Jiang Conghe’s daughter had set her sights on Qi Taiguo, a married man?
