Chapter 41: Passing the Word
When the two returned to the garden in an intimate manner, Lin Wanwan and Xu Zhiyao also came back, and a trace of surprise flashed in their eyes when they saw them.
Cheng Fulan pretended not to see them, pestered Yu Mingzhi and continued to speak: "...... The boy and I only met by chance on the street, and he picked up my lost purse, so he talked to him and thanked him and said a few more words. Actually, in a girl of our age, who wouldn't blush when she sees such a handsome man, it's just ...... In fact, my father and mother are already talking about a family matter, and they haven't passed the eight characters yet, so it's hard to say whether they can say it, so I don't want to say it now. β
Yu Mingzhi said: "You should clarify this matter, lest we spread the joke and affect your reputation." β
Cheng Fulan leaned closer to Yu Mingzhi as if she was coquettish, "Sister Yu is very right. It's just that I'm not good at words, and I like to listen to others. She raised her head at this time, pretending to find the two who didn't want to come out, and greeted with a smile, "Wanwan, Zhiyao, where are you coming back?"
Lin Wanwan looked Cheng Fulan up and down a few times, and put on a smile, "Fulan, you are really bad, you don't know if you are married, it is called Ningxiu misunderstanding, let us talk nonsense." β
Yu Mingzhi excused her and said, "Sister Fulan is a shy person. β
Cheng Fulan bowed slightly, "I'm embarrassed to say it......"
Lin Wanwan turned to her other side and crutched her arms, "We've known sisters for five or six years, what's embarrassing to say?"
Cheng Fulan hung her head shyly.
Lin Wanwan and Xu Zhiyao exchanged glances, and then looked at Yu Mingzhi in unison. In their opinion, she is the daughter of a merchant brought by Yang Run, and she will not participate in those things in the officialdom, how could she suddenly be like a friend who has known Cheng Fulan for many years?
There should be no problem with this Liang Yu, but Cheng Fulan is looking for someone to act and get rid of suspicion?
The surname Cheng is really wolf-hearted, and the relationship between them who have known each other for many years is not as important as a man, and now they have betrayed them.
Lin Wanwan snorted coldly, pretending to smile and led the guests back to the garden.
After sitting down again, several people are still talking and laughing, playing together and still like close sisters. Until it was getting late, Cheng Fulan first found an excuse to leave in a hurry, and Yu Mingzhi and Yang Run should also get up and say goodbye.
Before leaving, Lin Wanwan took Yang Run's hand and avoided others and whispered: "I heard that the niece of your eldest aunt's mother's family is the fiancΓ©e of Qin Sheren, and she has recently lived in her eldest uncle's house. Is there a way for me to meet her? There are some things I want to say to Miss Guo. "Today is a disaster, in case Cheng Fulan leaks out, waiting for her and Xu Zhiyao's father, I don't know what the fate is, if I tell my father, I will inevitably be scolded, if I can know the eldest lady of the Guo family, please ask Qin Sheren to come forward to settle the matter, but is it not a meritorious service and a closer relationship?
Yang Run hurriedly lowered her eyes, and didn't dare to look at Yu Mingzhi, for fear that one look would betray her identity.
But without looking at Yu Mingzhi, she didn't know how to answer, and she became more and more anxious in Lin Wanwan's expectant gaze.
Yu Mingzhi heard something intermittently, and called beside him: "Yang Run, when are we leaving?" Didn't you say that you wanted to practice with Miss Guo?"
Yang Run hurriedly responded: "Yes, yes, yes." β
When Lin Wanwan heard that their relationship was so good, she was even more overjoyed, and she held her hand and refused to let go, "Good sister Yang Run, you can help introduce us to Miss Guo, okay?"
Yang Run felt very strange in his heart, why didn't he hear Lin Wanwan want to know Guo Baozhi before?
She was stumped, Lin Wanwan couldn't wait, dragged Yang Run into the study, didn't care about how sloppy the handwriting was, and wrote a letter to Yang Run, "Please be sure to hand it over to Miss Guo tonight, okay?"
Yang Run saw that he was finally able to get out, and he said "okay" repeatedly.
Lin Wanwan breathed a sigh of relief and finally let go of her hand.
Yang Run said goodbye to her, returned to the carriage with Yu Mingzhi, and then handed her the letter with a smile, "Where did she know that Miss Guo was far away in the sky and close in front of her." β
Yu Mingzhi smiled, unfolded the letter, and as she expected, it was written that Guo Baozhi wanted to tell Qin Sheren that "someone has to deal with his father who is in the ministry."
"She yelled to see you, what did she say?" Yang Run leaned over curiously.
Yu Mingzhi showed her generously, "Ask me to transfer a sentence to Qin Sheren, I don't know what's going on." β
"yes, no head or tail. Yang Run flipped through the letter and looked at it again and again, but he didn't find a name, and stuffed it back to Yu Mingzhi, "But we really went to my uncle's house to practice the piano at night, how about it?"
Yu Mingzhi smiled: "You've been playing around for a long time, and you're not enough?"
Yang Run rubbed on her, "It's not enough." β
Yu Mingzhi smiled and pinched her cheeks, "But you see, Wanwan seems to be in a hurry to ask me to pass on the message, I'm afraid it's inconvenient tonight." β
Yang Run sighed helplessly, "Then I'll come back tomorrow!" After saying that, she became happy again.
The carriage traveled to the fork in the road, and Yang Run changed to a sedan chair to go home. Yu Mingzhi watched the sedan car hurriedly walking in the sunset, and was just about to urge the driver to get on the road, when a figure quickly got into the car.
ββ¦β¦ You. Yu Mingzhi swept around.
Qin Ji said: "Don't worry, no one will see it." He shook his robe slowly, "Besides, we are a serious fiancΓ©e, why can't we meet?"
Yu Mingzhi said: "Because I changed my name today." β
"Oh?" Qin Ji squinted and smiled, "What are Zhizhi going to do today?"
"I went to the house of Lin Youwei, Lang Zhong, the ministry. She said, handing over Lin Wanwan's letter, "The person behind Liwang Mountain, is it King Yi?"
Qin Ji glanced at the letter paper, raised his eyes and stared at Yu Mingzhi, with a smile of approval on the corner of his mouth, "Zhizhi found it so quickly, it's amazing." β
Yu Mingzhi briefly told Qin Ji about today's incident in the Lin family, and asked Zhu'er: "What do you gain from following that person?" Yang Run was here before, and it was inconvenient for their master and servant to speak, and she was a little anxious to wait for this answer.
Zhu'er said: "That person is not a maid of the Cheng family, but a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy pretending." I followed him to the back door of the Yiwang Mansion, and before entering the door, I killed him and handed him over to the others to dispose of the body. β
Qin Ji said: "So, Lin Langzhong doesn't have to worry about leaking secrets and causing trouble. But ......," he sighed, shaking his head, "the family's mouth is too loose." β
Yu Mingzhi pursed her lips and didn't speak, she didn't expect that the people behind Li Wangshan would have a big background. King Yi repeatedly acted and framed the assassin Shi, indicating that he was plotting against him, so Qin Ji or revenge she faced a big problem.
But Qin Ji obviously knew it for a long time but didn't say it clearly, why?
