Chapter 174

"I said it was like eating less. If you eat vegetables and drink, you can't have enough. After all, you have to have a bowl of staple food." Xu Jin said with a smile.

Xu Ming looked strangely at the leftover pancakes and dumplings on the table.

So these things can't be regarded as staple food in my father's eyes? What exactly is their positioning—— Appetizers?

"..." Cui glanced at her husband's bulging belly and stopped talking.

Just, I can't persuade you.

Blame her carelessness... Think twice when you talk to your husband in the future.

"Do you want to eat a bowl in Zhaoming?" Xu Jin asked the children.

Both brother and sister shook their heads.

"Father, eat slowly, mother. I'll go back first." Xu Mingyi stood up.

Xu Jin and Cui nodded.

"Have a rest earlier." Cui Shi confessed: "now it's cold, so you don't have to go to me every day. You might as well sleep more in the morning and get up again. If you need anything, just ask the girls to send a message."

After the poison of sleeping grass was detoxified, Xu Mingyi went to the prince's academy to greet him every day.

"OK, my daughter knows." the girl should come down.

It has been a habit for her to get up early for many years. Even if she doesn't greet her elders, she has to get up early to practice archery.

But her mother didn't want her to get up early and get cold and busy, so she just listened.

Xu Mingshi also left his seat.

"Father, mother and son have gone back."

Sister and brother left the dining room together.

"Grandpa drank too much tonight. Remember to go and have a look later." Xu Mingyi told his brother when he went down the stone steps.

The yard in the Ming Dynasty is nearest to my grandfather.

"HMM." Xu Ming nodded, then sighed slightly: "the second uncle's marriage is already a worry for his grandfather."

Listening to his younger brother's aging tone, Xu Mingyi sighed and echoed, "yes. Second uncle always has his own ideas. For him, Xu would rather be short than excessive. And his temperament is here, and he doesn't want to be bound."

"Better lack than abuse?"

Xu Ming looked at her and said, "do you really think so?"

"Otherwise?" Xu Mingyi looked at him.

Xu Mingshi was silent for a while before he said in a very low voice: "... I think the second uncle must not have that kind of mind for women. If not, how can he refuse to even try?"

Xu Mingyi was surprised for a moment:?

Why did her ten year old brother say such a thing?

"The second uncle has been depressed too much over the years. After all, there is nothing unpleasant to mention... The second uncle has been famous since he was young and has become an admiring master of calligraphy and painting..." Xu Mingshi seriously analyzed: "After thinking about it, only the unspeakable secret mind can make him so decadent and realize that there is no hope in life?"

Xu Mingyi was in a complicated silence.

At first glance, it makes people think it is very possible?

But why had she never thought about it at all before? Was it because she was not knowledgeable enough?

"Ming Shi..." Xu Mingyi whispered.

"Why?"

Xu Mingyi winked at him and asked seriously, "where did you hear these words? The analysis is so clear, isn't it... Empathy?"

"What are you talking about?"

Xu Ming was so angry that he left quickly.

Looking at the boy's back, Xu Mingyi couldn't help smiling.

Sure enough, when you are in a bad mood, teasing your brother is much better, and her brother is really easy to use.

After returning to Xiyuan, Xu Mingyi washed and bathed, and then got into Xuan's soft quilt.

I didn't take a nap in the daytime. At this time, I was tired and soon fell asleep.

So I don't know how long I slept. Suddenly I was awakened by a soft call.

"Girl -"

In the darkness, Xu Mingyi opened his eyes, heard ah Zhu's voice, and immediately woke up.

"What's the matter?"

She asked as she sat up.

"Father has news. He is waiting for the girl in the yard at this time."

Xu Mingyi gets up and gets out of bed.

Ah Zhu went to light the lamp.

The window was still dark.

Xu Mingyi took the ginger yellow blouse hanging next to the screen. His men tied their clothes very quickly, and glanced at the drip under the window - just after midnight.

Uncle Zhu is different from the fifth uncle Qin, who is known around his grandfather for not knowing how to look. He has a sense of propriety and knows his priorities. I'm afraid something happened at this time.

He straightened a thick green silk, put a silk ribbon behind his head, and Xu Mingyi went out of the bedroom.

"Girl."

Zhu Xiu walked into the hall from the courtyard and saluted Xu Mingyi.

He was still dressed in black at night and obviously came directly.

"People found it in a broken temple in the west of the city, but it was still a step late -" Zhu Xiu's eyes were a little complicated.

"Dead?" Xu Mingyi asked.

"Yes."

Xu Mingyi pursed his lips slightly.

Sure enough——

But it's too fast.

After noon today, there was a car stop on Xiyi street. Now it's only half a day, and people are dead.

In the last life, she didn't know the detailed process and the time node of the event, nor how the other party died. Now she experienced it personally and realized that there seemed to be a lot of strange things in it.

The more so, the more she felt that this person's death was really related to the long princess's death.

"How did you die?"

"Was killed by a knife."

Zhu Xiu answered, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "this is what my subordinates saw with their own eyes -"

Xu Mingyi looked at him: "Uncle Zhu saw the other party do it with his own eyes?"

Zhu Xiu said truthfully, "when my subordinates took people to find the vicinity of the broken temple, they noticed that a group of people had come first. In order to prevent exposure, my subordinates hid in the dark and didn't come forward. The other party's five people were all dressed in black. Two of them entered the temple and came out soon after they succeeded."

"After they left, my subordinates took people into the temple. Through comparison, I knew that the person who was killed was the one the girl was looking for."

Xu Mingyi's eyes were slightly frozen.

In other words, after the other party killed someone, he didn't clean up any and didn't take the body away.

According to Uncle Zhu, this pedestrian is obviously well-trained, so it will never be careless, but it is intentional——

They can do it clean and leave no trace.

You don't even have to use a knife.

However, it is so blatant that it can be seen that the purpose is to publicize this matter.

No wonder the death of this person in the previous life will be so popular that the world believes that the eldest princess must be affected by this matter to fall ill

If we speculate based on this, combined with the situation of Princess Chang in the previous life... Nine times out of ten, the leader behind this group came for Princess Jing Rongchang!

"Did Uncle Zhu see the skills of those people? Or did they leave other clues?"

Hearing this, Zhu Xiu's eyes fluctuated strangely.
