"Hey, hey, hey!" Song Yao was excited: "What nonsense are you talking about? How can I be so capable? You don't even dare to say anything harsh in front of him, how can I dare to hold him down? You're thinking too highly of me. "
Gongsun Xiao said: "You already know this in your heart, I don't think that a person like him would casually trust a girl who sees him twice. If it wasn't for you grabbing onto something of his, you would have long gone to some unmarked grave site for reincarnation."
Rong Chu was a simple and cruel person. If he wanted to become king, he needed to cultivate.
"Why aren't you speaking? Feeling guilty? " Gongsun Xiao asked.
Song Yao said stubbornly: "What do I feel guilty about?"
Gongsun Xiao said: "You should know what you are guilty of, but let me remind you, among the people who grew up in the palace, there aren't many that you can see through. Even if you're smart, you should know your own limits."
Song Yao replied: "Don't worry, I don't want to pry into the inner thoughts of others, and I don't want to get involved in matters of the palace. Among the people in the palace, I have always wanted to hide from them, but I was forced to keep getting involved."
Gongsun Xiao said: "Weren't you the one who provoked him first?"
Song Yao replied: "Yes, but..."
Gongsun Xiao said: "No, but, once you get involved, don't even think about leaving. This is not the first time I'm saying this to you."
Song Yao remained silent and did not reply.
Gongsun Xiao sighed, "You saved my life. I had never thought that I would meet you again, nor did I think that I would be able to sit and talk to you like this. But since it's already settled, I hope you …"
As he said this, he paused for a moment before continuing, "I hope that you can trust me, so that I can help you when you are in dire straits."
"..." "Why?"
She actually did not understand Gongsun Xiao's logic.
"Because, with trust, you can be friends."
With these words, Song Yao actually had no way to refute. Actually, befriending someone is a form of camaraderie. It is what you do that I trust you for. As long as you tell me to hit someone, I won't say a single word.
Without trust, friends would not be friends, relatives would not be relatives, and lovers would not be lovers.
The word 'trustworthy' was sometimes too heavy.
"I know." Song Yao replied. After thinking about it, she said, "Actually, friends have more of the same stand. When the day comes when one's stand changes and trust no longer exists, how can we talk about friends?"
Song Yao continued, "Even though I keep putting friends on my lips, I still feel that meeting them by chance is the best. Everyone lives for themselves, and having too many feelings isn't a good thing.
"Ha, you're quite thorough."
Song Yao said: "Speaking of which, it's actually because I'm standing and talking so shamelessly, it's possible that I haven't met with any feelings that I can put my life on the line for, which is why I boast so shamelessly."
The two of them got off the palanquin, and when they bent over, Song Yao started sweating, but she could still endure it.
The two of them walked towards Li Residence. When the guard at the door saw them, he immediately bowed and greeted them. Gongsun Xiao reached out to stop them, and asked: "Is Master Li here?"
The guard said, "Master is in the backyard and hasn't been out for a few days. I'll go report to you."
Gongsun Xiao said: "No need, I am not here to see your master, since he has matters to attend to, I will not bother him, go and find someone to invite Young Noble Li's maid, Mingyue, for we have something to ask her."
The guard said, "Yes, you take a seat inside first."
The two of them waited for about a quarter of an hour before Brightmoon arrived. She came into the front hall and bowed to the two of them. Her expression was normal and she probably had no idea that they had already found her.
Gongsun Xiao said towards the door: "Close the door, someone is coming and blocking everything, do not disturb me."
"Yes." The guard nodded and closed the door.
The room was silent for a moment, but Mingyue asked first, "Master Hou and Miss Song, do you have anything else to ask?"
Song Yao thought for a while, then said: "Let me ask you first, did you hide anything from us?"
Mingyue's body stopped for a moment, and she quickly recovered, "What exactly does Miss Song mean? I am almost certain to answer your questions, but I can't tell you what I probably didn't know or didn't think of. "
Song Yao glanced at her, then said after a while: "Let me ask you, you said that Young Master Li is frugal, thus he has strange eating habits, like licking the lid of the fruit before eating."
Mingyue clearly became flustered after hearing that. She opened her mouth and only said after a long while, "This …" "I …"
"Is there anything else that isn't a sentence? Why are you in such a difficult situation? " Gongsun Xiao asked.
Brightmoon was silent.
"What are you hiding from me? How did your young master get poisoned? Or is it to conceal the fact that you committed the murder? "
Song Yao was overbearing.
Brightmoon suddenly knelt down and said, "I did not, I did not kill him!"
Song Yao continued to ask: "Then why did you hide this matter from me?"
Song Yao sighed, and said helplessly: "I'm afraid you don't know that someone has already found the Miao Frontier, do you think it's far from being able to find out your identity?"
"Wh …" "What?" Brightmoon was momentarily shocked speechless.
Gongsun Xiao said: "Since we have come to ask you, we will not come to ask you without knowing anything. Are you sure you want to continue hiding it?"
Brightmoon bit her lower lip and stuttered, "I …" "I …"
She seemed to be flustered and hesitant, not knowing what to say.
Song Yao said: "Forget it, let me ask you the simplest question, is the one who poisoned you?"
"It's not me!" This time, Brightmoon responded quickly and decisively.
"How do you prove it wasn't you?" Song Yao continued to ask, and said: To save Young Noble Li, Boss Li has killed three of your fiance's family, you have a deep grudge with him, you have sufficient reasons to kill him right?
"No …" Mingyue shook her head and said after a while, "Yes, I have a deep grudge against him, but I didn't poison him."
"Then prove it wasn't you who showed it to us." Gongsun Xiao said.
"I …" Brightmoon wanted to say something, but hesitated. After a long while, she finally said, "I do want to kill him, but not now. I didn't think that killing him would cost me my life, so I wouldn't use poison. It would be too risky and too easy to be discovered. "
"So how are you going to kill him?" Song Yao asked.
Mingyue glanced at Song Yao, then closed her eyes and said: "Of course use Gu."
