Chapter 82

"This autumn, if I can win, I will soon be ready for the examination."

Zhan Yunzhu looked at Xu Mingyi with a smile in his eyes and said half jokingly, "I've been with you since I was a child. Someone always secretly reminded me that I came from an ordinary background and don't deserve to be your playmate. I don't know if I can stand closer to you in the future."

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

She didn't know what Zhan Yunzhu meant to her. It was both true and false——

But in any case, this kind of "intention" of secretly expressing deep feelings and planning to destroy your family makes her feel sick from the bottom of her heart.

Facing Zhan Yunzhu's eyes, Xu Mingyi smiled.

"Brother Zhan has outstanding talent and is sure to be in high school."

It's just that it's hard to say whether you have life to go to high school or not.

"Then borrow Zhaozhao's auspicious words."

Zhan Yunzhu smiled at the girl in front of him and wanted to say something more. He only heard her say, "it's time to have a banquet. It's not good for them to wait for me for a long time. Brother Zhan, I'll go back first."

Zhan Yunzhu nodded and said with a smile, "it's not too late for the servant girl who leads the way to come back."

"No need." ah Kui said, "when I came just now, my maid had memorized the way."

Obviously, all the things that the girl wants to do have been done. Now that she has finished the business, I think the girl doesn't want to be occupied again. How disgusting it will be even for a moment.

Xu Mingyi leaned slightly towards Zhan Yunzhu.

Watching the girl's back leave, Zhan Yunzhu's smile gradually dissipated.

……

After the banquet, Xu Mingyi didn't stay more at Zhan's house.

After returning to the town government, she asked ah Zhu to find Zhu Xiu.

After Zhu xiulai came, Xu Mingyi handed over the portrait of a middle-aged man painted in the daytime.

"This person is very likely to leave overnight, so it's necessary to keep an eye on every move of the Zhan family tonight." Xu Mingyi confessed positively: "if there is no movement at night, you should pay more attention in the daytime. Anyone who goes out from the Zhan family, no matter what their identity, should carefully investigate and don't let go of any suspicious place."

What she said to Zhan Yunzhu today was both a test and a "reminder".

If cousin Qing's disappearance is really related to Zhan's family, and Qi Lin was really killed by Uncle Zhou, Zhan Yunzhu will seriously send uncle Zhou away from Zhan's family in order to protect integrity and eliminate suspicion after being forced to tell her that uncle Zhou has already left Beijing tonight.

Of course, even if Zhan Yunzhu's reaction tonight is slightly flawed in her eyes, the truth is not clear. It may be that she is too suspicious.

However, the truth will soon be known.

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

If the Zhan family is really infected with this, then what she has to do is not just to find cousin Qing back——

And her judgment told her that this matter could not be as simple as it seemed.

……

Early the next morning, there was a drizzle in Beijing.

Xu Mingyi got up as usual and asked ah Zhu, "did Uncle Zhu come back last night?"

"Go back, girl, never."

Xu Mingyi nodded.

There was no harvest last night.

After noon, the rain gradually increased and didn't rest until evening.

So when it was dark, I still couldn't wait for Zhu Xiu's reply.

Xu Mingyi thought it over carefully.

Zhan Yunzhu has always been patient. He doesn't move day and night, which can't eliminate the suspicion of Zhan family.

Perhaps Zhan's family is on guard. In order to prevent it from being watched, he doesn't dare to show any suspicion.

But it is impossible to send away a living man quietly.

We should send people away as soon as possible, but we can't do anything unusual

What would she do?

Xu Mingyi thought carefully for a moment, and an idea gradually came to his mind - to cover it up with a normal thing that would never make people suspicious.

She would think like this, not just out of her own consideration, but just suddenly thought of something she heard from Zhan yunjiao last night.

At the banquet, Zhan yunjiao mentioned to her that she would go to Qingyu temple with her mother, Mrs. Zhan, to offer incense the next day.

Mrs. Zhan worships Buddha all the year round. It's normal for her to go out of the city for incense.

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

"Ah Kui."

"The maid is here."

Xu Mingyi said, "get ready tonight. I'm going to Qingyu temple tomorrow morning."

Ah Kui was stunned, but he responded immediately.

This night, Xu Mingyi went to bed early.

Ah Kui put out the light and stepped back.

"Ah Zhu..."

She gently poked ah Zhu, who was guarding outside, and whispered, "you know, the girl is going to go to Qingyu temple to offer incense tomorrow."

Ah Zhu looked at her.

"Now I know."

"That's Qingyu temple..." seeing his good friend, ah Kui reminded: "the most effective thing in Qingyu temple is the marriage charm!"

Ah Zhu said "Oh".

"..." ah Kui was extremely helpless. He just felt that his burning heart of gossip was gradually extinguished. He didn't feel excited when he spoke: "girl, you never went to Qingyu temple in the past -"

Ah Zhu said faintly, "what's strange about this? The girl didn't know medicine in the past."

Are there few abnormal things about the girl?

Don't say you just went to Qingyu temple. It's not surprising that the girl said she wanted to go from heaven to earth.

"..." ah Kui stopped his mouth with a complicated look.

Well, she made a fuss.

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

The girls in her family are excellent everywhere. As long as the girl is willing, a lot of marriage can't come to the door. It's only marriage that asks for the girl's share.

Ah Kui nodded as he thought.

……

The next day, Xu Mingyi moved without delay.

She specially asked Zhu Xiu to prepare an insignificant green cloth carriage outside the house early.

It just rained yesterday and the roads outside the city were muddy. Not many people went out to pray this morning.

The carriage stopped outside Qingyu temple, but Xu Mingyi didn't get off, but sat in the car and ate tea quietly.

"Girl -"

Ah Zhu, who had been watching the movement outside the carriage, whispered, "young master Wu is coming."

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

This is really no delay.

Ah Zhu doesn't think there's anything special about her girl's meeting a man. After all, the girl has always been measured. Moreover, Wu Shisun is very good-looking and diligent. He is willing to be a friend. It's not impossible to make the girl happy.

The most important rule that girls in the town government have been taught since childhood is that on the premise of ensuring the safety of girls, ah Zhu is no exception.

Xu Ming inadvertently lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked at it.

She didn't ask Wu Tsung.

However, he did see that the boy had just got off his horse. In the morning after the rain, he was dressed in a stone blue robe, fresh and clean, and heroic between his eyebrows and eyes.

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