Just then, Wan Kaiyi finished his call and walked over to Qiao Qing, "What's wrong?"
Qiao Qing hesitated but still asked, "I'm wondering which artist produced this painting."
There was no signature on it so she wanted to ask to get rid of her curiosity.
Her father painted. Even if he was simply doodling, he'd sign his name. It was a habit that was almost obsessive.
Wan Kaiyi smiled, "This painting wasn't bought. It was painted by the Duke himself."
Qiao Qing was surprised by that answer and at once, felt like she was overthought it. She nodded, "It's lovely."
She commented before adding, "Then, did you get in contact with Duke Quan Zexi? What did he say?"
Wan Kaiyi was apologetic, "I'm sorry, miss. The Duke is out meeting with other government leaders and it will take him a week to return. He had asked me to let you know that if necessary, you can chat with him after he returns."
