Kuang Ruyue walked between Lv Yun and the man, looked at Lv Yun, then shouted at the man: "Men do not fight with women, your shameless rascal look, is truly ugly."
Gui Qi grabbed Lv Yun from behind and asked softly: "What happened?"
Lv Yun's cheeks puffed up: "The moment I stepped out of the door, I heard him talking behind his back. She said that our shopkeeper was a murderer …"
When she said till here, Lv Yun suddenly released her voice and shouted to the man: "Our shopkeeper is the most innocent, the most righteous and good-natured, the authorities have not even convicted her, what right do you have to speak nonsense here?"
Gui Qi finally understood. Lv Yun was the most loyal to Jin Xiaolou and thus, she couldn't listen to anyone gossip about her.
He immediately held Lv Yun's back and comforted her: "Enough, don't get acquainted with someone like him. There are many people in the world who can't tell right from wrong, and if you argue with them one by one, then there will never be a day of peace. "
With that, she shot a glance at the man across her and pulled on Kuang Ruyue's sleeves: "Go back, there's no need to waste your breath here."
Seeing that the trio had ignored him and turned around to leave, the man raised his sleeves and hurriedly said: "A group of hypocritical women, rats in the stinky ditch, you guys are even worse than that brothel's whore!"
"You!" Lv Yun shook off Gui Qi's hand, and was so angry that she almost cried: "Listen to me, his mouth is full of nonsense!"
Seeing Lv Yun's expression, the man became even more excited: "What, as a woman, not teaching at home, when you guys come out to do business, you guys are like prostitutes, you guys can do it, but you guys say that?"
Lv Yun was so angry that she was about to spread her legs and grab the man's face, but Kuang Ruyue stopped him with all her might: "He's a scoundrel, her mouth is full of sh * t, why do you care about him!"
"Lin'er is alone in the house, let's go back quickly!" Gui Zhi also came up to stop him.
No matter how much that man scolded them, the three of them just walked home and never looked back.
It was just that Lv Yun was already crying from anger.
As soon as they entered the room, Gui Zhi went inside to look at the Lin'er. However, when he looked inside, the big bed that was filled with blankets was completely empty.
Gui Zhi's face turned pale as he reached out to touch the mattress. It was still warm.
He ran out of the courtyard and looked around. The small door to the backyard was ajar and swaying.
Gui Qi hurriedly chased after him. As soon as he left, he saw the figure of a woman in grey, carrying a child, about to turn around the corner of the alley.
Gui Zhi chased after her. However, the woman was petite and had ran very fast, so she should be from the Xin Ning. She knew the alley like the back of her hand, and couldn't catch up to Gui Qi no matter how hard she tried.
Just as he was at a loss as to what to do, his heart felt like it was on fire, and he saw a flying stone flying over from nowhere, landing right on the back of that woman's head.
The lady's head fell, his legs went soft, and he fell down. Lin'er crashed onto the ground and cried out loud.
Gui Zhi rushed over and picked Lin'er up in his arms. He looked at his carefully a few times. Seeing that the child was fine, he felt relieved.
Just as he was about to look up to see who threw the stone, he saw Red Xiao jump down from the wall and walk towards him.
Gui Qi was slightly stunned. After a moment, he bowed slightly and said gratefully, "Thank you, Big Brother, for saving our child."
Red Xiao waved his hand: "What big brother, I'm just someone who listens to orders. If Miss Gui Qi wants to thank, then go and thank our Fifth Master."
"Fifth Master?" Gui Qi took a deep breath. "How did he know that the Lin'er is in danger?"
Red Xiao laughed: "Fifth Master isn't scouting, he's only ordering me to look out for your safety at all times."
"This …" Gui Zhi lowered his head, "Then I'll have to trouble brother Red Xiao to thank Fifth Master for me."
"I can't replace it!" Red Xiao immediately shook his head, "Why don't you come with me, and personally thank Fifth Master? It seems like Fifth Master hasn't seen you for quite some time."
Gui Zhi hugged the Lin'er tightly, looking somewhat troubled: "I still won't, my family members don't know about the safety of the Lin'er, I'm afraid they will be worried, I need to hurry back."
"This isn't too tight!" Red Xiao continued to arrive, "I will help you send a message back, I will definitely let them feel at ease."
Seeing that Gui Zhi was still hesitating, Red Xiao joked: "Why, Miss, you are so stingy to even thank me?"
"No." Gui Zhi raised his head. After a moment of hesitation, he finally nodded and agreed, "Then …" I'll go with you. "
Inside He Mansion, Jin Xiaotao fiercely smashed the teacup on the ground and the broken porcelain piece landed on the back of the person kneeling on the ground, drawing streaks of blood marks.
"What a useless thing!" Jin Xiaotao said fiercely, "All good things are in vain. If I knew that you would be useless like this, it would be easier for me to poison that evil creature to death with a bag of rat poison!"
The man on the ground trembled and said with a trembling voice, "They … There was someone behind them! A-Li's head was cracked from the impact. "By the time I arrived, the bodies were already cold …"
"Get lost!" Jin Xiaotao waved her hand, asking Chun Zhu to come to her side, "Take the pill that Gu Lang gave you, and tell him to eat it."
"Yes." Chun Zhu turned to go get the medicine, but Jade Pearl had already grabbed hold of the man's hair and opened his mouth.
Just as the man wanted to struggle, he heard Jin Xiaotao say: "If you don't want to die, then don't move.
The man was so scared that his face turned ashen, but he didn't dare to move even a bit. He allowed the person to pour the powder of bitter laughter into his mouth, and a burning sensation spread from his tongue to his stomach.
"We're going to enter the capital tomorrow. There's really no chance for that now." Jin Xiaotao sighed.
Chun Zhu hurriedly said: "Young Madame will be an unending stream of wealth in the future, that Jin Xiaolou is only a restaurant owner, could it be that he is afraid of her? If she were to bring her son to the capital, Young Madame would pinch her to death. It would be easier than pinch an ant to death, there is no need to get angry at her. "
Jin Xiaotao nodded his head: "You sure know how to speak."
~ But thinking about it, it makes sense, even if Jin Xiaolou raised that evil being, would she be able to find the capital? She wasn't familiar with this place, so she was afraid that she had already established herself in the capital. Wouldn't it be easy for her to destroy a carefree outsider?
Then, after half of his anger was gone, he ordered Cui Zhu to bring in the three new cups of tea.
Cui Zhu quickly complied, pushed open the door and walked out.
The yard was filled with cold air, and the winter was getting thicker and thicker.
Cui Zhu rubbed her hands, looking at the frosted roof not far away, she jogged all the way through the Moon Cave Gate.
On the white frost roof, Gao Lang lied on his back, and beside him was Chang An who was half squatting.
Looking at the pure white clouds floating about in the sky, Gao Lang exhaled a breath of white air. He reached out his hand and formed a crescent shape with the white smoke, causing it to quickly dissipate in the air.
"Seventh Elder, do you think they will really make a move tonight?" Chang An asked softly.
Gao Lang exhaled a breath. That crescent-shaped white mist made him think about Jin Xiaolou's bright white face when he slightly lowered his head.
He didn't know what she was doing or if she had listened to him and found out about the matter regarding Ruyi.
"They only have tonight." Gao Lang said indifferently, "Tomorrow morning, the crown prince will return to the capital. By the water route, the transport ship is specially made so that it is easy to defend but hard to attack. "Only tonight is the best time, and there's also that scapegoat, justice, that he probably won't let go."
"If the crown prince were to return to the capital, it would be even more difficult to make a move. If he were not careful, he would reveal an opening, and that would be the crime of murdering a king. He cannot afford it."
After Gao Lang finished speaking, he rubbed his eyes and looked at the new moon that appeared after floating away.
It was still early, and in the bright sunlight hung half a round jade white crescent moon.
He didn't know why, but he felt a sudden panic in his heart.
Gao Lang had never felt something like this before. He sat up and turned to look at Chang An: "Guard here well, I'll be right back."
Chang An nodded, and could not help but ask: "Where does Seventh Elder want to go?"
Gao Lang raised his brows, "Who cares so much. If the crown prince has even the slightest mistake, I'll ask you!"
"Yes sir!" Chang An immediately cupped his hands.
Jin Xiaolou looked at the crescent that appeared in the air, and stood at the entrance of the yamen, waiting until her hands and feet were covered in ice.
After waiting for an unknown amount of time, the year's chief executive finally came out.
Jin Xiaolou hurried over: "How is it, did Da Chun give any orders yet?"
The middle-aged man shook his head.
Although it was the expected result, Jin Xiaolou's heart still sank. What happened to the wound on his foot? "
The middle-aged man said slowly, "He said that the autumn moon wine house was repaired a few days ago. A wooden board covered with nails fell in the corner and asked him to step on it."
"The owner of Autumn Moon Wine can testify, and he even granted Da Chun a month's leave."
"Nonsense!" Jin Xiaolou panicked, "That aunt and I, I believe there is someone else who has personally seen it, and that Da Chun was even able to move as fast as he could yesterday!"
"That's right, Da Chun also said it, he feels that it's very foolish to step on a nail and injure his leg, for the past few days he has endured the pain and pretended to walk normally." The Registrar Official sighed. He also felt that these words were a bit ridiculous, but he couldn't say that he was lying. "He just purposely took two steps for us!"
Jin Xiaolou calmed her breathing and tried her best to find Da Chun's loophole, "Yesterday, that auntie saw with her own eyes that there were only three wounds on Da Chun's leg.
"That auntie can't be found." The middle-aged man frowned, "Go to the empty building."
"This …" Jin Xiaolou said, "There are so many coincidences, it is obvious that it is Da Chun and Tong Song's doing! Otherwise, how could that aunt not see him? "
"Indeed, Da Chun is also a suspect. He was pressed down in the yamen, but there is no evidence to convict him." The middle-aged man glanced at Jin Xiaolou.
Jin Xiaolou shrugged her shoulders. Right now, just like him, Da Chun was also a suspect who was unable to be convicted.
Then it could only depend on whether he would first find the evidence of Da Chun, or whether Da Chun and the others would forge the evidence of him being framed.
Although Jin Xiaolou had a stomach full of worries, before she returned home, she went around the shop to see Gui Zhi's new wedding dress.
When she saw the display of the big red wedding dress embroidered with silver thread, all her worries were dispelled.
Jin Xiaolou was overjoyed. With such a beautiful and eye-catching wedding dress, she must be the most beautiful bride.
Fortunately, in the midst of all these trouble, there was still this joyous event that made Jin Xiaolou truly happy.
