Chapter 35: Beauty is Poisonous
In this way, a sudden heavy snowfall left You Wu in Wenzhuang.
Fortunately, the conversation that frightened her did not continue, and in order to pass the time, Wen Nan proposed to take them to the study.
You Wu doesn't like to read, but she has an inexplicable love for old and yellowed books. Every time she picks up an old collection of stories, she can immerse herself in them, as if she has found a sense of belonging. So as soon as Wen Nan proposed, she readily agreed.
Shuttling through the thick and numerous bookshelves, You Wu was a little overwhelmed, his fingers tapped the tight book wall, slid one by one, occasionally pulled out one, flipped through two pages and put it in his arms.
Just as she raised her toes and twitched the top book, behind her, a slight breath accompanied by a faint heat came from above, and a white and slender hand reached to the highest place, and the book was taken down.
You Wu froze, then turned around and looked up at the comer.
The study room is very large, but because of the large collection of books, the space between the shelves is only three feet. When You Wu saw Wen Nan's exquisite appearance up close, his face flushed, and his heart speed gradually increased unconsciously.
"Miss You!" Wen Nan looked down at You Wu, smiled slightly, and handed her the book in his hand, as if he didn't notice the ambiguity between the two.
"Oh! Thank you, thank you! Flustered took the book and stuffed it into his arms, You Wu turned away in embarrassment. For some reason, every time she saw him, You Wu felt a kind of resistance in her body, which made her flee unconsciously. Although it is strange, she understands that it is common sense that beauties are poisonous.
You Wu hurriedly turned around, and then Wen Nan restrained his smile and stared in the direction she fled, a look of consideration in his eyes. When You Wu's back disappeared in front of his eyes, Wen Nan quickly hid his thoughts, put on a smile, and followed gracefully, leaving only the scrolls in the house.
Next to the bookcase, You Cheng saw You Wu coming over with a stack of books, so he quickly got up and took it and put it on the couch for her.
"So many, can you read it all?" You Cheng casually flipped through the books he put down, and found that it was full of anecdotes, and shook his head, wondering why she liked to read these things as a girl.
Pushing him away, You Wu sat on the couch, sorted out the books, and said: "I just picked it at random, and I don't know what the content is, so I can only take a few more books, anyway, there are so many books in the study!" You Wu smiled at him, revealing two little tiger teeth, quite childish.
Smiled helplessly, You Cheng took a detour and sat down and took one of the books she chose. As soon as he opened the cover of the book, a person walked out from behind the bookshelf, and You Cheng quickly got up and stood up.
"What's wrong?" Shocked by You Cheng, You Wu looked up and saw a certain beauty smiling brightly at her, scratching her heart like a cat, her hand clenched, and she scratched the yellowed pages.
You Wu, who was immersed in beauty, ignored You Cheng's unnatural actions, and didn't notice You Cheng's special respect for Wen Nan.
Wen Nan stepped forward, bowed slightly towards You Wu, and then turned to You Cheng and said, "Brother Cheng, I have a question to discuss with you, I don't know if it's convenient now!" ”
At this moment, You Wu was already fascinated by his laughter, and where did he notice the eye contact between the two. When she came back to her senses, she only saw the backs of the two walking together.
With a sigh of relief in his heart, but a hint of amazement suddenly rose, You Wu breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the book again, straightened the crumpled pages, and began to read it contemplatively......
It was past noon, the snow was still falling, and the outside of the house had fallen into a white ground, which was dazzling.
Inside, the stove is blazing, and the room is warm.
Wen Nan sat on the top seat, looking down at the letters. Time dropped, fine sand flowed, and everyone in the house was silent, standing with their heads bowed.
"When did you find out he left the palace?" Wen Nan put down the letter in his hand, and his body gradually exuded a cold breath, which was a little colder than winter snow.
"Three days ago!" Ling Yun replied in a low voice.
"Three days!" Wen Nan muttered in a deep voice, with deep anger hidden in his eyes, he turned to Ling Yun and ordered, "Send someone to intercept him immediately, and then send him directly to the palace!" ”
"Yes!" Ling Yun gave the order and immediately got up and left.
The room fell silent again, Wen Nan unconsciously reached out and rubbed his temples, and when he thought of that person, he suddenly felt a headache. is really a worry-free guy, how can he become a great tool if he goes on like this.
"Master, do you need a break?" The housekeeper handed over a cup of tea, and the faint fragrance of tea wafted in the air, which made people's mood feel more relaxed.
"This tea?" If he guessed correctly, this tea should be a tribute, and he had obtained a few boxes a few years ago.
"Master, this is a gift from the Lu family, the old slave saw that this tea was good, so he made you a cup."
Picking up the teacup, Wen Nan took a sip, the astringency entered his throat, but the aftertaste was endless, no different from the tribute tea he had tasted before. A trace of vigilance rose in his heart, could it be that the Lu family has a connection with Fanwai?
Wen Nan's heart sank, and he suddenly remembered that the purlin seemed to be only separated from the Lu family's mansion by a forest, and the Lu family had many powerful people, could it be that the culprit was the Lu family?
"Butler, let You Cheng and Ling Yu come to me!" After giving the order, Wen Nan got up and lifted the heavy curtain behind him and walked in.
When You Cheng and Ling Yu came to the room, Wen Nan had not yet walked out of it, and after waiting for a while, he saw that the curtain was lifted from the inside, and at this moment, Wen Nan already had an extra document in his hand.
"You Cheng, what do you think of this spine purlin incident?" Wen Nan opened the cover shell and took out the thread binding paper inside, and there were two big characters - Lu family!
"The subordinates feel that this spine purlin incident must be related to the previous case, and it may be the same bandit."
"Do you know the Lu family?"
"Huh?" You Cheng was a little surprised, why did he suddenly get involved in the Lu family.
"The Lu family is located in the northeast area, and it happens to be the gathering place for all the crimes, I wonder if there is a connection between the two?" Wen Nan flipped through the files in his hand and carefully examined the Lu family's records.
Hearing this, You Cheng was silent, it wasn't that he didn't believe in his master, it just made him suspicious of the Lu family, but he was a little embarrassed.
"This Lu family file started twenty years ago, that is, when the Lu family settled in Yancheng, but there was no record before, they seemed to appear out of thin air, isn't it strange? Moreover, twenty years ago was also the time when the first case in Yancheng occurred! Is this also a coincidence? Wen Nan picked up the Lu family's files, and his peach blossom eyes were full of doubts.
"This ......" You Cheng didn't know how to answer, he didn't have the slightest understanding of the Lu family more than ten years ago.
Playing back the file in his hand on the table, Wen Nan turned his back and said in a deep voice: "You Cheng, Ling Yu, early tomorrow morning, you will follow me to the purlin to inspect the situation!" ”
Hearing this, the two of them shook their bodies and replied in unison: "Yes!" ”
