Wishful Things

"This time, if I win Qiu Wei, I will be ready for the exam soon."

Zhan Yunzhu turned his face to look at Xu Mingyi, with a smile in his eyes, and said half-jokingly: "I have been with you since I was young, and someone always secretly reminded me that my background is mediocre, I am not worthy of being your playmate, and I don't know if I will be able to play with you in the future." Can I stand closer to you—"

Looking at the flower stand in front of him, Xu Mingyi felt that he had never seen such a disappointing rose.

She didn't know what Zhan Yunzhu's intentions for her were, how much was true, and how much was false——

But no matter what, this kind of "intent" that expresses deep affection while planning to destroy your family makes her feel nauseous from the bottom of her heart.

Meeting Zhan Yunzhu's gaze, Xu Mingyi smiled.

"Brother Zhan has outstanding talents and studies, so he is sure to be able to pass high school."

It's just that it's hard to say whether he will go to high school or live to that time.

"Then let's borrow Zhao Zhao's auspicious words."

Zhan Yunzhu looked at the girl in front of him with a smile, and wanted to say something more, but she said: "It's time for the banquet, it's not good to make them wait for me alone, Brother Zhan, I'll go back first."

Zhan Yunzhu nodded and said with a smile: "It won't be too late for the maid who leads the way to come back."

"No need." Ah Kui said: "When I came here just now, the maid had already memorized the way."

Obviously, what the girl wants to do has already been done. Now that she has finished her business, she doesn't want to be disgusted by the occupying master for even a moment.

Xu Mingyi bowed slightly towards Zhan Yunzhu.

Watching the girl leave from behind, the smile in Zhan Yunzhu's eyes gradually disappeared.

...

After the banquet, Xu Mingyi did not stay at Zhan's house for much longer.

After returning to Zhen Guogong's mansion, she asked Ah Zhu to find Zhu Xiu.

After Zhu Xiu came, Xu Mingyi handed over the portrait of the middle-aged man he had drawn during the day.

"This person is very likely to leave overnight, so we must pay close attention to every move of the Zhan family tonight." Xu Mingyi confessed seriously: "If there is no movement at night, you must pay more attention during the day, but anyone who goes out from the Zhan family People, no matter what their identities, must be carefully observed, and nothing suspicious should be missed."

What she said to Zhan Yunzhu today was both a temptation and a 'reminder'.

If the disappearance of Cousin Qing is really related to the Zhan family, and Qi Lin was really killed by Uncle Zhou, then after Zhan Yunzhu was forced to tell her that Uncle Zhou had already left Beijing tonight, in order to protect his safety, he also wanted to Eliminating the suspicion will definitely send Uncle Zhou away from Zhan's house.

Of course, even if Zhan Yunzhu's reaction tonight was a little flawed in her eyes, but since the truth is not known, it may not be because she is too suspicious.

However, what the truth is, I believe it will be known soon.

After Zhu Xiu left, Xu Mingyi got up from behind the desk and looked at the bright moon in the night through the window lattice.

If Zhan's family is really involved in this matter, then what she has to do is not only to find Cousin Qing back——

And her judgment told her that this matter must not be as simple as it seems on the surface.

...

In the early morning of the next day, a drizzle fell in central Beijing.

After Xu Mingyi got up at the usual time, he asked Ah Zhu, "Did Uncle Zhu come back last night?"

"Back to the girl, never."

Xu Mingyi nodded.

That means there was no harvest last night.

After noon, the rain gradually increased until the evening.

After waiting until dark, Zhu Xiu still couldn't reply.

Xu Mingyi thought about it seriously.

Zhan Yunzhu has always been patient in his actions, and his inaction for a day and a night cannot eliminate the suspicion of Zhan's family.

Maybe Zhanjia was on guard, because he was already being targeted, so he didn't dare to show the slightest suspiciousness.

But if you want to send away a big living person, it is absolutely impossible to do it quietly.

To send people away as soon as possible, but there must be no abnormal behavior...

If it were her, what would she do?

Xu Mingyi pondered for a moment, and an idea gradually emerged in his mind - to cover up with a perfectly normal thing that would never make people suspicious.

She would think this way, not only out of her own considerations, but just now she suddenly thought of something she heard from Zhan Yunjiao last night.

At the banquet, Zhan Yunjiao once mentioned to her that she would go to Qingyu Temple to offer incense with her mother, Mrs. Zhan.

Mrs. Zhan pays homage to the Buddha all the year round, and it is normal for her to go out of the city to offer incense.

Will Zhan's father and son choose this opportunity to send people out of the city?

"Aoi."

"The servant girl is here."

Xu Mingyi ordered: "Get ready tonight, I'm going to Qingyu Temple tomorrow morning."

Ah Kui was stunned for a moment, but she immediately responded.

That night, Xu Mingyi fell asleep early.

Ah Kui turned off the light and stepped out lightly.

"Azhu..."

She lightly poked Ah Zhu who was guarding outside, and said in a low voice, "Did you know that the girl is going to Qingyu Temple to offer incense tomorrow—"

Ah Zhu glanced at her.

"Now I know."

"That's Qingyu Temple..." Seeing that her friend didn't come on the road, Akui reminded: "The most effective thing in Qingyu Temple is the marriage amulet!"

Ah Zhu said "Oh".

"..." Ah Kui was extremely helpless, only feeling that the burning heart of gossip was being extinguished gradually, and she lost her excitement when she spoke: "Girl never went to Qingyu Temple in the past—"

Azhu said indifferently: "What's so strange about this, the girl didn't know much about medicine before."

Are there still few abnormal things about the girl?

Not to mention just going to Qingyu Temple, even if the girl said that she was going to heaven and earth, she shouldn't be surprised.

"..." Ah Kui stopped talking with a complicated expression.

Well, she was the one who made the fuss.

Besides, her girl doesn't seem to need marriage.

The girls in her family are outstanding in every way, as long as the girl is willing, a lot of marriages will come to her door, and only marriages ask for girls.

Ah Kui nodded while thinking about it.

...

The next day, Xu Ming decided to leave his breakfast without delay.

She deliberately asked Zhu Xiu to prepare a humble green cloth carriage outside the residence early.

It just rained yesterday, and the roads outside the city are muddy, not many people went out to offer incense this morning.

The carriage stopped outside Qingyu Temple, but Xu Mingyi did not get out of the carriage, but sat in the carriage quietly drinking tea.

"girl--"

Ah Zhu, who had been paying attention to the movement outside the carriage, said in a low voice, "Mr. Wu is here."

It turned out that the girl actually made an appointment with Wu Shisun while she was doing business.

This is really no delay.

Ah Zhu didn't think there was anything out of the ordinary about her girl asking a man to meet, after all, girls always behaved properly. Besides, Wu Shisun is quite good-looking, and he is also a hard-working person. It is not impossible to be friends and make the girl happy when he is consensual.

The rules that the maids of Zhen Guogong's mansion have been instilled the most since they were young are, under the premise of ensuring the safety of the girl, the girl can do whatever she wants, and Azhu is no exception.

Xu Mingyi unexpectedly opened the carriage curtain and looked.

She didn't ask Wu Chao.

However, it was true that the young man had just dismounted from his horse. In the morning after the rain, he was dressed in a clean stone-blue robe, with a heroic look in his eyes.

The other party seemed to sense that someone was watching him, and a pair of eyes scanned him keenly.

Thank you Qinghan, one-seventh of the rainbow, and Feng Chuyou's rewards, thank you for every monthly ticket.
