On April 20, the banquet in Xuanchun Garden was in the evening, Yu Shu stayed in the Wangji Building, and someone sent a gift list as soon as he was a child.

Yu Shu and Xue Rui had just eaten breakfast, one was about to go upstairs, and the other was going to go out.

Lin Fu took the person outside the door, scooped up a gift slip and handed a letter to Yu Shu, she rolled her eyes twice, and heard the steward who was sent outside the door said respectfully:

"Our adults are really busy these days, and I tell the little ones to bring the letter, the thank you gift has been sent to your house, and we will definitely visit the operator again another day, and then thank you in person."

Yu Shu opened Qiu Jiming's letter and looked at it, his eyebrows moved, and he replied a few words to the person in charge, and then asked Lin Fu to send someone out.

Xue Rui took Qiu Jiming's gift list from her hand, swept it, and found that it was not valuable, so he curled the corners of his mouth and said to Yu Shu:

"Lord Qiu's gift is thin, it doesn't look like him, it seems that there is a follow-up, what is written in the letter?"

Yu Shu glanced at Xue Rui with a smile and said, "Let you say it, I will see what he means, in addition to these thanks, it is to record my favor."

This Qiu Jiming is a good person, he didn't play with her, and it was not in vain that she ran around the day before yesterday in order to solve his family affairs.

After speaking, it was not too early, and Xue Rui told Yu Shu before leaving:

"I'll go straight to Xuanchun Garden in the afternoon and make arrangements. When you get to the hour, let Lao Cui send you again, don't be too early, don't be late, we'll meet again then. ”

Yu Shu nodded, reassuring him, and seeing that Xue Rui was gone, she went upstairs.

When she returned to her room, she was a little restless, knowing that something was going to happen at night, and no matter how calm she was, she was worried that something would happen.

According to the discussion between her and Xue Rui before, she only had one task tonight - to keep an eye on Qin Yuerou.

When the carriage was turning the corner, it stopped suddenly, Qin Yuerou was thinking about things a little absent-mindedly, and suddenly saw Xin Liu, who was drinking tea next to her, choking:

"Ahem"

"Be careful." Qin Yuerou hurriedly pulled out the veil and patted Xin Liu's back while helping her wipe it.

"Walk slowly, what's the hurry." Xin Liu muttered dissatisfiedly to the coachman outside, looked down at the tea stains spilled on his skirt, and said with a bitter face:

"That's good."

Qin Yue said softly: "Do you want us to turn around and change now, it's too late to go out early."

Xin Liu hesitated for a moment and shook his head: "Forget it, it's a lot of trouble, it's almost here." It dries when the wind blows at night, so you shouldn't be able to see it. ”

Qin Yuerou frowned: "What kind of wind is blowing, forget that you are sick, when you get to the garden later, you will sit honestly and don't run around."

Xin Liu pouted reluctantly: "It's not that I can't worry about you, so I came with you."

Qin Yuerou smiled helplessly, yesterday she visited Xin Liu, and it happened that the old man of the Xin family was also there, and after a few glances at her, she said that she had a disaster recently, and if she broke it, she needed a person with a zodiac hoof to follow her.

Qin Yuerou didn't feel anything unusual, but she still went home and told the elders, but she couldn't say why, so she took two pendants that were good luck and avoided evil with her, who knew that she was going out today, Xin Liu came to the house early in the morning to find her, and said that she wanted to be with her, it just so happened that she was a zodiac with hooves.

Located in the east of the city, Xuan Chun Garden occupies a whole street, at this time the sky is still bright, the street is already full of traffic, hanging red lanterns for three miles, just waiting for the night.

Qin Yuerou and Xin Liu got out of the carriage, because the two of them were together, they only brought a maid, and the rhombus fan in their hands gently covered the front, and the maid walked in front and handed over the invitation, and immediately a clever little guy stepped forward to lead the way.

Usually the prince holds a banquet and is an official in the court, if it is not a parent, it is not good to come forward directly, so there is a child-in-law show of appropriate age in the family, so he will go on behalf of Qiu, of course, the official quality is not high, there are not so many rules.

So there are a lot of young people who came up to the banquet tonight, Qin Yuerou and Xin Liu are natives of Anling, these faces are also familiar, and when they entered the banquet hall, they greeted the wife they knew.

Although the murder case in Taishi Shuyuan has not reached the point where people know about it, but the people who came up tonight have more or less heard of it, and those who know more about it have been frightened because of this, and they met today to comfort a few words.

Qin Yuerou glanced at Xin Liu, who was surrounded by people, stood up quietly, moved a few steps to the side, and swept around the banquet hall, as if looking for someone.

After a moment, when she saw a figure sitting at the guest of honor, she pursed her lips and pursed her lips.

Yu Shu came alone, handed over the invitation card and entered the door, and was led through the vestibule by the little servant to the East Garden. From a distance, I could see the banquet hall with colorful lights, the courtyard and the corridor were full of feasts, pastries and wine tables, and half of the guests had arrived in advance.

What is the size of this sitting outside? br/> Yechen secretly plays with widows, and the widow is stepping on the plaque, and the widow is blowing the plot, and the palace wall is chewing and chewing? br/>

Yu Shu entered the door, looked around, and the first thing he did was not looking for Xue Rui's figure, but where Qin Yuerou was.

There were also a lot of people in the banquet hall, Yu Shu stared at the women who were usurping red clothes, and soon found a familiar shadow of a concubine, with a flash of surprise in her eyes, and walked through the wine table.

"Fei Fei?"

Xin Liu had just finished dealing with a group of people, his face was about to stiffen with laughter, and when he turned his head to see Yu Shu, he showed some real joy, and said with his hand:

"Lianfang, I know that you are coming."

"I didn't know you were coming." Yu Shu looked her lotus pink skirt up and down, and saw Xin Liu wearing this year's new regular clothes, and her heart responded, and she looked at her hair intentionally or unintentionally, but fortunately she didn't find any begonia flowers.

"I'm here with Yuerou." Xin Liu laughed, turned his head and wanted to call Qin Yuerou, but found that the person was gone.

"Huh? I was still here. ”

Yu Shu's eyelids jumped, and he was about to ask again, but he saw Xin Liu standing up nervously, looking left and right, and there were words in his mouth:

"This Qin Yuerou, I have to accompany her, why are you still running around, no, I have to find her."

After that, he pulled Yu Shu's sleeve and begged: "Good Lianfang, you help me find her together."

Yu Shu had this intention, and didn't ask her what she was anxious about, so she pushed the boat down the river, and the two took advantage of the fact that the banquet had not yet started, Liu Tan had no road, and they slipped out of the banquet hall through the back door.

After looking around the neighborhood first, but no one was seen, Xin Liu couldn't help but get anxious, Yu Shu looked up at the night that had not yet fallen, but he was not too worried, but he couldn't let people out of sight, so he said to Xin Liu:

"This garden is big, let's take a look separately, you are there, I am here, and I will come back if we find someone."

"Okay."

So Yu Shu went to the east and Xin Liu went to the west.

Built fifteen years ago, the garden is surrounded by trees and trees around a natural lake, which is extremely cool in the summer and shaded everywhere in late spring.

Two slender female figures, one after the other, walked through the grove and walked to the quiet lake

"Yuerou, what are you bringing me here for?" Ji Xingxuan looked around and asked. She had just arrived at the banquet hall, and not long after she sat down, Qin Yuerou motioned for her to come out, and let her ask along the way, but she didn't speak.

Qin Yuerou turned around and stared at her without saying a word.

She and Ji Xingxuan met two years ago, they can't talk about girlfriends, but they are also friends, and they didn't break off contact with her because Xin Liu, who grew up together, disliked Ji Xingxuan.

Ji Xingxuan was a little uncomfortable stared at by Qin Yuerou, turned his head to look at the ripples on the lake not far away, and said:

"The banquet will be held later, if you have something to say, say it quickly."

̈I see it."

Ji Xingxuan's heartbeat slowed down by half a beat inexplicably, turned his head, and said with a confused expression: "What do you see?"

Qin Yuerou sighed, her voice slow and with a hint of uncertainty:

"On the day before Cao Youling died, we were at the observatory, and I saw her putting her books on the wall, and you took advantage of her not paying attention, and turned over her books behind someone's back and put something in them."

Ji Xingxuan's brows stiffened for a moment, and the next moment, she sneered: "Why don't I remember that I did such a thing, do you want to say that it was I who lured her to the stargazing platform to kill her by breaking the handwriting?" It's ridiculous, I didn't go out at home at all that night, could it be that I dreamed of running to the Taishi Academy to kill someone?"

Qin Yuerou's face changed, and she said in a deep voice:

"I don't know if Cao Youling's death has anything to do with you, but I saw with my own eyes that you put a note in her book, which is the one that the government found later, you don't have to quibble, the reason why I helped you hide it until now, I didn't say it, I just don't believe that you will do something to kill people. I'm going to make it clear to you now, I just want to ask clearly, why did you sneak a note into Cao Youling's book? Do you know that someone is trying to harm her?"

Ji Xingxuan's eyes darkened, she was about to bite her lip under the veil, and she was silent for a while before she spoke again:

"I'll repeat, you're mistaken, I didn't put a note in her book."

Qin Yuerou was obviously disappointed, she shook her head, and said with a wry smile: "You don't want to say it, I don't force you, I would rather believe that I didn't recognize the wrong person, don't worry, I won't report you, you have finally survived to this day, I don't want to watch you ruined." Cao Youling and I are not related, but you are friends, so I should repay you for saving my innocence at that time. ”

After hearing this, Ji Xingxuan lowered his gaze and did not say anything to refute.

"Well, you're doing it yourself."

Qin Yuerou turned around and left, leaving Ji Xingxuan standing on the shore, hearing the footsteps gradually moving away, her body twitched violently, and raised her red eyes.

However, from beginning to end, no one saw a figure arched in the dim twilight, hiding in the grass not far away.

Xin Liu gritted her teeth, clenched the leaves in her hand, and couldn't help trembling slightly, she stared, looked at the figure staying on the shore, and a voice shouted in her heart-

It was her, she must have killed Cao Youling
