Volume 1 Chapter 24 The Thief
Chu Yu paused and said with a smile, "Xiao Er, I said it first, everything pays attention to first come, first served." This phoenix feather hairpin should be sold to me. β
After Zuo Qingqing saw Yu's appearance clearly, a trace of jealousy flashed in her eyes, when had there ever been such a beautiful woman in the capital, she was even more beautiful than her, unconsciously, a sense of crisis flashed in Zuo Qingqing's heart.
When the enemies saw each other, they were very red-eyed. Chu Yu tried hard not to let his hatred be revealed.
The little guy put on a smile and said, "This.... This phoenix feather hairpin is the only one, and it is indeed the young lady who said it first. β
The little guy pointed to Chu Yu and glanced at Zuo Qingqing apologetically.
Zuo Qingqing looked impatient and said, "I just said I want this, I don't care, I have a fancy for this hairpin." Shopkeeper, how much silver does this jewelry cost? I'll pay twice the price. β
"This young lady, this is not a matter of price, this is obviously my young lady's first eye..."
Chu Yu grabbed Shuangqi and didn't let her continue.
It's Zuo Qingqing in front of him, it's strange to be reasonable...
However, whether it is in her previous life or in this life, she has always had a deep friendship with Zuo Qingqing, and her memory of her only stays in the fact that she set up a plot to frame the Chu family and deliberately provoked her..... But these are enough for Chu Yu to recognize her as a person.
However, the funny thing is that the current Zuo Qingqing seems to be much more naΓ―ve and arrogant than in his previous life, but this is the kind of person who has set up a game against the Chu family.... It really made her laugh......
However, the person in this kind of person-set bureau can't see clearly, is it not clear or does he deliberately not want to see clearly? Perhaps, there are quite a few people involved.... A sneer flashed in Chu Yu's heart.
"What are you laughing at?" Seeing Chu Yu's smile, Zuo Qingqing frowned and said unhappily.
Chu Yu said softly, "No, I think this hairpin matches the young lady, and this young lady likes this hairpin so much, so I won't be loved." β
Zuo Qingqing snorted and said, "Did you hear it, hurry up and wrap it up for me." β
Shuangqi looked at Zuo Qingqing's villain's smug face, and couldn't help but feel worthless for Miss, who gave her the hairpin so generously, but she didn't thank her...
"Yes, yes!" , The little guy glanced at Chu Yu gratefully, and hurriedly went back to take down the phoenix feather hairpin and wrap it and handed it to Zuo Qingqing.
Chu Yu took a look in the store and then went out.
However, at the door of the store, Chu Yu was stopped by Zuo Qingqing.
"Stop."
Chu Yu turned around and said with a light smile, "What's the matter with Miss?" β
Chu Yu didn't know that he had such a great concentration, and he even looked at each other and smiled at his enemies in his previous life.
"Which lady are you?" , Zuo Qingqing glanced at Chu Yu up and down, only to see that the other party was dressed in a purple gauze robe, and the hair ornaments on his head were all high-grade handicrafts. has a demure atmosphere, so that her temperament is fully displayed.
Zuo Qingqing felt that she was going to be jealous.
Shuang Qi just wanted to speak out, but was preempted by Chu Yu, "Does it matter who I am?" β
Zuo Qingqing choked, it didn't seem to matter, but...
"Presumptuous, my sister is the young lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, it should be your honor to ask you." , The pink woman beside Zuo Qingqing shouted, not smiling at all like just now.
Chu Yu couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this person's face has become really fast.
Chu Yu smiled meaningfully and said, "Huh? It turned out to be Miss Xiangfu. β
"Exactly." , Zuo Qingqing's look of coming to flatter me made Chu Yu sneer in his heart.
Calming down, Chu Yu smiled and said, "Miss Xiangfu, I have taken a step in advance, and I will definitely visit me when I have the opportunity in the future, I'm sorry." He nodded in the direction of the two women.
The four words of Miss Xiangfu, Chu Yu bit extremely hard.
Zuo Qingqing heard the irony, and saw that the other party didn't seem to take it to heart, so he couldn't help but have a variety of speculations about Chu Yu's identity.
Could it be that the other party's identity is much higher than his own?
Otherwise, I wouldn't have taken her so indifferently.
Moreover, is there any noble girl in the capital that she doesn't know? And who wouldn't give her a bit of face?
But she is the only one who really doesn't know her, and this woman doesn't seem to take her in the slightest.
Could it be that she is the woman Chu Yu who came back from the General's Mansion recently?
It's really possible.
However, the daughter of the General's Mansion is only, will she still be afraid of her? Just when Zuo Qingqing felt that he should say something to satirize this woman who might be Chu Yu, the other party had already walked away.
"Sister, we....", the woman dressed in pink was trying to say something out loud.
Unexpectedly, he saw Zuo Qingqing said angrily, "Shut up, Shen Qingli, who told you to report my name everywhere?" β
Shen Qingli choked, and suddenly felt aggrieved, wasn't she happy that she was happy to help apply for this title in the back? Just now, she still looked useful....
"I'm sorry, Miss Zuo, it's Qingli." , Shen Qingli lowered his head, hiding the hatred in his eyes, if she didn't ask for her, why would she condescend?
"It will not be like this in the future." , Zuo Qingqing sighed when she saw her admit her mistake.
Chu Yu and Shuangqi, who were a few meters away from them, continued to walk forward.
"Miss, why did you give that hairpin to Miss Xiangfu?" , Frost Qi was a little indignant when he thought of this.
Chu Yu smiled and said, "Shuangqi, you don't ask so many questions on weekdays. β
Shuangqi frowned, "Miss, your subordinates are stupid. β
Chu Yu touched his empty waist and said, "Our purse is lost." β
If it weren't for the loss of her purse, she would really spend a lot of money to buy that phoenix feather hairpin, after all, the unhappiness of spending money to buy Zuo Qingqing is to buy happiness for herself.
However, just now, she suddenly changed her mind.
She doesn't have a bad relationship with Zuo Qingqing, she wants to be good friends with her.
The days are long, and she wants to see what she will look like in the end...
Revenge, naturally, is indispensable... The corners of Chu Yu's mouth hooked up a faint smile, thinking about it.
"Lost your purse? When did it happen? Shuangqi was surprised, thought about it and then said, "Could it be that kid?" β
Chu Yu nodded, "Let's go after each other separately." β
With that, the two went their separate ways.
Chu Yu walked in the direction where the kid in his memory went, and pointed out a western direction to Shuangqi.
There are only two children stealing money, one is from a poor background, and they can't survive anymore to steal money, and the other is that they are abducted into an organization that specializes in stealing money.
And whatever the reason, these thieves will be in the middle of nowhere.
Chu Yu walked in the direction of the suburbs.
The countryside is desolate, with plenty of shrubs and grasses, large trees every few meters, and dilapidated houses with scattered layouts.
Chu Yu also saw it for the first time, and there was such a wild place on the outskirts of the capital.
Looking at these dilapidated courtyard houses, Chu Yu felt at a loss for the first time. She can't always look for ..... from house to house
There was a ruined temple not far away, and Chu Yu decided to go there to explore first.
It's the middle of the day, and the sun is just right. Chu Yu felt a little sunburned.
After a while, Chu Yu walked to the broken temple.
At this time, a thin sweat was already oozing from Chu Yu's back, and I have to say that the sun was also hot this morning.
The gate of the ruined temple has mottled vermilion traces, and the two half-open gates are covered with cobwebs, which are thought to have been abandoned for a long time.
But in such a dilapidated temple, there are some new footprints on the path.
Chu Yu's eyes flashed slightly, looking at this footprint, it seemed to be the size of a child-sized shoe print.
Chu Yu flashed and entered.
Sure enough, she saw a child babbling something to the Buddha statue in the temple, looking attentive, and did not pay attention to Chu Yu's arrival.
The child was dressed in green clothes and linen, washed white, and her hair was neatly combed, and it was such a clean appearance that made Fang Cai not think about stealing money.
Chu Yu listened carefully, and heard his general words, to the effect that he was forced to steal it, and he would definitely return it in the future.
"How do you want to pay it back?" , Chu Yu chuckled.
When the boy heard the sound out of thin air, he shuddered with fright, rolled forward, and the silver in his hand fell.
Chu Yu fixed his eyes and saw that it was her purse.
"You, who are you!?" The child's trembling voice came.
The body couldn't help but retreat until it couldn't retreat anymore.
His eyes stared at Chu Yu for a moment, as if he was afraid that if he closed his eyes, he would pounce on him like a ghost.
The boy was very thin, and his big eyes were bright.
Chu Yu smiled, "Little ghost, your skills in stealing money are not bad. β
With that, Chu Yu stepped forward and picked up the bag of silver.
The child couldn't help but feel a little distressed when he saw the silver in his hand being taken back, but he also confirmed that the other party was not a ghost, but a person, and a good-looking beauty.
The child saw that Chu Yu was dressed extraordinary, and was afraid that he would be sent to the official, so he got up and ran out of the door.
However, he is fast, she is faster.
"Where do you want to run?" , Chu Yu appeared at the door suddenly.
The child was so frightened that he fell to the ground, where had he ever seen such a woman with strong martial arts, and he couldn't help but be afraid that this good-looking woman would dismantle him.
"I ..... I... Heroine spare her life! The child's eyes rolled, and he knelt down in the direction of Chu Yu.
Chu Yu flashed, avoided the direction he was kneeling, and lifted it up again, like catching a chicken.
"Manly man, how can you say that you kneel and kneel?" , Chu Yu's eyes flashed with displeasure.
If you can kneel for a bag of silver today, you will be able to die for a bag of gold tomorrow.
The child didn't quite understand why the woman didn't let him kneel, but seeing that the woman didn't seem to be the kind of unreasonable person, he said, "Woman, I was forced to steal your silver, and I really had no way to do it." β
