"Almost, almost, the official caught him, the white shadow in the bamboo forest that day was him!" Ning Xiaoxiao said unwillingly.

"You didn't do anything wrong, you saved Yan Yan, presumably his parents know about it, and they will definitely thank you." Tatsuyo comforted gently.

Ning Xiaoxiao resisted the urge to look up to the sky and roar, and closed her eyes thoughtfully.

"Now it seems that there are many clues, his shadow is still very vague, and there are still a lot of mysteries, if you still catch him quickly, I don't know who will be the next victim of this madman."

"Don't be afraid, the official has decided, stay up for a few days and nights, read all the records of entering and leaving the city, and find out the murderer who fits the time of the case."

"Lord Chenyou is mighty, then the official will go back and sleep lazily first, it's really a headache to wake up drunk." With that, Ning Xiaoxiao pulled the reins and rushed out on horseback.

"This official just wanted to praise you a few words, why did you get back to your original form so quickly, drunkenness is not an excuse."

Tatsumi rode his horse and chased after him.

In the afternoon, Ning Lovely invited her father and mother into the mansion rented by her eldest brother, and Ning's mother was full of joy when she saw it, and she couldn't wait to live here in the future.

"It's so big here, my family Xiaoxiao is capable, and I can afford such an expensive mansion."

Ning Lovely immediately poured cold water on her.

"This is rented, not bought, third senior brother, you too, don't always accompany my mother to hang around, didn't you come to the main city to visit relatives during this time?"

She took the dishes from the basket and took them to the kitchen, chattering as she went.

"As for you, you should take advantage of your time to accompany your distant relatives more, always around my mother, so that she will think that you really want to hire me."

Dongfang Quanyue paused, looking at Ning Cute and neatly peeling the radish skin, a little hesitant.

"Senior sister, you..."

"Third Senior Brother, how did you talk about it today, what's wrong with this junior sister? Isn't it better than yesterday that your body is stronger and your martial arts are stronger? Hahaha..."

The woman's hearty laughter is very beautiful, and the man always looks at her with fascination, unabashedly adoring her eyes.

As soon as Ning Lovely picked up the kitchen knife, her eyes suddenly seemed to change, she put away her smile, and cut out the evenly thick radish slices like a carp jumping out of the water.

The slices of radish, which are so thin that they can transmit light, float in the water like duckweed.

"Senior sister, do you still have someone you like now?" His fingers slid over the emerald green beans, and cautiously probed, "Didn't you say before that you decided to give up on that person and were determined to do a good job of catching fast?" Senior brother wants to know, has your mind changed? ”

"Yes."

Ning Lovely shook the water on the tomato and handed it over, and the third senior brother took the tomato in a daze and took a bite.

"Is it sweet? In the past, when we would practice in the mountains, we would have no sugar to eat, so we would steal the tomatoes planted by my uncle, and then hang the dried cabbage, so that my uncle still doesn't know why the tomatoes he planted grow dried cabbage. ”

"Cute junior sister, in fact, Uncle Shi knows it, but every time he pretends to be angry and teases us, so that when we practice every day, our days will not be so boring."

The third senior brother's expression was very serious.

"Just like you, we used to be brothers and sisters who talked about everything, no matter what happens in the future, the senior brother doesn't want us to change, so if there is something, you might as well say it directly."

"Senior brother, didn't my sister tell you before that there is a hero who has been admired for a long time?"

Dongfang Quanyue nodded and smiled kindly:

"Senior Brother Ben thought you were talking about Brother Ning before, but later you said it wasn't."

"Senior brother, you came down the mountain when my junior sister was fourteen years old, so you don't know that the master was killed by a bandit in order to save people when he was chivalrous in the second year when he was walking down the mountain."

Ning Kawaie held back her sour nose and took a bite of the sweet and sour tomato.

"Later, Senior Sister Ben was determined to be a fast catcher and catch all the bad guys in the world, so that they could not do evil, and he was the one who took the lead in exterminating this group of bandits."

"Who are you talking about?" Dongfang Quan frowned in confusion.

"At that time, in order to be a fast catcher, I studied hard every day, and the motivation for me to persevere, is the goal that my eldest brother gave me, every time he comes back, he will tell me about Lord Chen, he told me, this fourteen-year-old boy, how hard work, step by step to become the left waiter of the criminal department."

"So, you're slowly going from admiration to admiration?" Dongfang Quanyue said bitterly.

"Originally, it was just a very simple worship, and I blamed my eldest brother, who always wrote to tell me how good-looking Lord Chenyou looked, how wise he was in handling cases, and he couldn't help but be curious, and transferred to the Yamen of the main city, wanting to see him with his own eyes."

"As a result, does he look like you?"

"It's pretty good-looking, but our temperaments are very different, I am very arrogant in everything I do, he does everything according to the rules, square, and he says that men and women are not kissed at every turn." The woman sweetly lowered her head and cut the remaining tomatoes into pieces.

"But listening to your tone, it doesn't look like I hate him."

"Don't look at him as stubborn and rigid, but he is very upright and kind, even if he is sick, he will take the case file, perhaps, it is his hard work, so that Ben Catch a little bit... Heartbeat. She said duplicitously.

"You're happy with him, but what about him, what does he think of you?" Dongfang Quan, who asked questions, seemed to be looking for a reason to try to persevere.

Maybe it was because she remembered someone's confession last night, and the woman's face was flushed.

"He... Ben is so good, which is his turn to be dissatisfied. ”

"You... Together."

Dongfang Quanyue pulled out a bean and broke it one by one, as if he was breaking the only bit of hope in his heart.

"Senior brother, why did you become so gossipy?"

Ning Lovely put down the kitchen knife, turned around, looked at Dongfang Quanyue, and said smartly:

"Actually, the 'dowry gift' you gave my mother before should have been returned earlier, lest she pretend not to remember it later, and it will be difficult to ask for it then."

Dongfang Quanyue retracted his gaze, lowered his head, and asked:

"Senior sister, haven't you ever thought about being with your senior brother?"

Hearing this, Xi Hongxi, who was biting in Ning Cute's mouth, fell to the ground, and looked at Dongfang Quanyue who came over in a daze.

It was just when the white hand was about to touch her face that she came back from her stunned stupe.

"Third Senior Brother, do you have a fever, or did my eldest brother teach you to say that?"

"Neither, this is Senior Brother Ben's true words."

He reached out to touch her face, but she silently dodged her.

"Senior brother, don't be like this, it's weird and scary, you must have eaten the wrong thing, I, Ning cute, it's the little junior sister who is not afraid of heaven and earth, and killed the man-eating tiger with her bare hands, you are a little too joking."

"You're afraid of me?"

His tone was a little sad, and his eyes were moist.

"Don't be afraid."

She shook her head.

"Then why can't he and Senior Brother Ben?"

"Third Senior Brother?"

Ning Lovely couldn't help but retreat, she suddenly felt that Dongfang Quanyue in front of her was a little strange.

"Don't you understand? Senior Brother Ben is not joking, I really want to marry you as a wife, and it is clear that I met you first, just by proposing marriage, I mentioned it to your brother twice, once when Senior Brother Ben went down the mountain, thinking that I would never see you again, and the second time, when I knew that you were going to be forced to marry someone else, twice. ”

He snapped into tears and held up two fingers.

"Both times, I meant it."

Ning Lovely was stunned, and the sudden confession made her scalp numb and her head blank.

"You don't have to be in a hurry to refuse this senior brother, you haven't married for a day, this senior brother still has a chance for a day, in the last few days, this senior brother will go to the guest house, you think about it, come to me again."

"Third Senior Brother."

Ning Lovely subconsciously grabbed his sleeve and wanted to make it clear, but he was persuaded by a miserable look from him.

"Senior brother, please, don't reject me at this time, think about it again, maybe you will change your mind in a few days."

Dongfang Quanyue's people had already left, but the voice kept echoing in Ning Kawai's mind, making her uneasy.

Ning Xiaoxiao and Chen You, who had no clue, actually went to Yan Mansion and wanted to ask Shun Hua where Fu Mujin went, but when they were just invited to Yan Mansion, they were shocked by the situation in the compound.

The thirteenth prince and Yan Shunhua were sitting in the south and the north, and the servants of the Yan family and the guards of the palace were hanging white cloth with words, standing on a huge chessboard.

"The horse eats his face."

As soon as the little prince gave the order, the little guard who was a horse went to the servant who was dressed as a 'face' and took his apple, and then the 'face' went out crying.

What's even more strange is that Yan Shunhua, who was crying with pear blossoms and rain, couldn't stop her tears, and the little girl next to her was so anxious.

Chen You and Ning Xiaoxiao took the lead in walking towards Xiao Thirteen and greeted:

"Xiaguan has seen the little prince."

Hearing this, Xiao Thirteen raised his eyes in surprise, looked at the two people in front of him with a smile, and invited with a smile:

"Eh, why are you here today, it's better to meet by chance, come on, come on, let's play chess together?"

"Little prince, with all due respect, if you want to play chess, why do you have to go to such great lengths to let them pretend to be chess pieces?" Tatsumi looked at the huge chessboard with puzzled eyes.

The little prince touched his head and said happily: "This is my eldest brother's idea, she said that this king has misogyny, in case she faints when she touches her fingers, so she came up with such a fresh trick, not only this king, but even the guards and her family have fun." ”

Ning Xiaoxiao raised her hand to block the sunlight and asked puzzledly:

"Look at this chess game, it's clear that Mrs. Fu is about to win, but why is she crying, is she too moved?"

"What are you talking about, this king didn't lose, will you watch it?" Little Thirteen said arrogantly.

The 'handsome' who stood closest turned around and answered Ning Xiaoxiao's question.

"Lord Huining, Mrs. Fu is not crying, it was her maid Yan Shuangshuang who put the wrong chili noodles when she made noodles, which made her so spicy that she shed tears."

"General—"

As soon as the words fell, Steward Gu, who was in the 'car', took the apple from the hand of the 'handsome' and cheered: "The eldest lady has won, and this month's salary has doubled!" ”

The cheers in their ears exploded, and the two people who strayed in knew why the servants were having so much fun, and it turned out that they would process money if they won.

The happy Shunhua drank several glasses of water and came over with tears in his eyes.

"The folk woman has seen two adults, what kind of east and northwest wind is blowing today, and she actually invited the two adults over?"

Ning Xiaoxiao glanced at Chen's right and said tentatively cleverly:

"I haven't seen Doctor Fu recently, Chen You was bitten by a poisonous insect a few days ago, and I was a little worried and wanted to see him."

"Tatsu-sama was bitten by a poisonous insect?" Xiao Thirteen came over and turned around Chen, "Where is the bite?" It's not serious, there is an imperial doctor in this palace, why don't you let the imperial doctor watch it first. ”

Shun Hua looked at them suspiciously, always feeling that things were not so simple.

"You want to find my husband?"

"Exactly, if he is inconvenient, we can't force it, Lord Chenyou has rough skin and thick meat, and it is okay to go to the doctor at the hospital casually."

Hearing this, Chen You glared at Ning Xiaoxiao and muttered in a low voice: "That sentence with rough skin and thick flesh is redundant." ”
