Chapter 51: Scramble for the Ledger

The back hall of the yamen.

Liu said goodbye to Sima Ke in the public court, but he entered the back hall with a generous gift.

Sima Ke changed his clothes, "Is the old lady still in trouble?" ”

"Don't hide it from adults, there is still a small thing for the women to trouble the adults." Liu put the gift on the table, "There is a valuable heirloom lost in the woman's house, and now it is suspected that it was stolen by her granddaughter Yang Jing, so I want to report to the official, look, can you send some people to help the woman catch the person?" ”

Sima Ke lifted his eyelids and glanced at Liu, "You mean, Yang Jing stole your family's heirlooms?" ”

"Yes." Liu responded.

Sima Ke suppressed his doubts and pretended to be puzzled and asked, "But didn't she leave Liuzhou half a month ago?" ”

Liu said hatefully, "My lord doesn't know, the woman personally met her last night, and that thing is indeed in her hands, and she is still in Liuzhou." ”

"I know, I'll send someone to check on this matter, the old lady has been working hard these days, so let's go back and rest early." Sima Ke stood up, his words a little perfunctory.

Although Liu didn't understand why he was like this, he thought in his heart that the matter of the disaster had just been resolved, and it was really not good for him to be too close to the yamen like this, so it was not good to say anything.

As soon as Liu left, Sima Ke also left the door.

When he came to the door of the pharmacy, he saw that the door was closed, as if no one was there, so he went up and knocked on it, but no one answered.

I had to find a restaurant opposite the pharmacy to eat and wait, thinking that after waiting for Yang Jing, I would have to explain to her the misunderstanding that happened a few days ago.

On Yang Jing's side, she was blocked by Ji Ruyue.

"Fourth brother, do you really want to give up the glory in the family for this slut?" Ji Ruyue pinched her handkerchief and stopped the two who were leaving.

Jiang Qiubai's brows furrowed, "Miss Ji, please get out of the way." ”

"Miss Ji? You actually call me Miss Ji? Ji Ruyue couldn't wait to tear the handkerchief apart, and glared at Yang Jing, who was blocked by Jiang Qiubai, "Where is she better than me?" Do you want to be so desperate? ”

Yang Jing smiled in a low voice, and poked out half of her face from the side, a small yellow face covered with potions, looking a little listless.

But the eyes are bright and bright, and they are very smart.

Ji Ruyue asked, "What are you laughing at?" ”

Yang Jing smiled slightly, "It's nothing, I just think you're pitiful." ”

"Am I pathetic?" Ji Ruyue's voice was sharp, "What are you?" Do you pity me? You know my ......."

"I know who you are, and that's why I pity you." Yang Jing took a step forward and glanced at Jiang Qiubai, "You like him, but he likes nothing like me, what do you say is the truth?" ”

Ji Ruyue was stunned, as if she didn't understand.

Jiang Qiubai understood.

Yang Jing continued: "Isn't this enough to prove that you are not even anything in his heart, isn't it pitiful?" ”

Ji Ruyue bit her lip, and a tingling pain crossed her heart.

"Why do you say that?" Ji Ruyue choked, Yang Jing pointed out the most unwilling thing in her heart to admit, at this moment she really wanted to ask Jiang Qiubai loudly, but she didn't have the courage.

"I grew up with my fourth brother, and I know everything he likes to eat, use, and wear, but what about you? You're just him greedy for a moment of novelty......"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Yang Jing again.

Yang Jing said: "So, in your heart, he is just the kind of man who covets a moment of freshness." In that case, why should you feel sorry for such a man? ”

Jiang Qiubai's silent posture on the side, as if acquiescing to her nonsense, Yang Jing became more and more bold.

"Besides, you can also think like this, Miss Ji, you are beautiful and have a prominent family background, I'm afraid that in this life, you won't marry at the age of twenty, and you won't worry about suitors, but I'm different, I have no father and no mother, I'm an orphan girl, I want money and no money, I want power or not, why do you want to rob a man with me?"

"You talk nonsense! I, why am I robbing you? The fourth brother was originally mine! Ji Ruyue was severely humiliated by these words, listening to her words, her family background is illustrious, and her appearance is outstanding, but it is her own fault?

Yang Jing took a step closer to Ji Ruyue, and the two were only a few centimeters apart.

"You know him, yes, but no one in this world has ever stipulated that men must marry the woman who knows them best? Oh yes, it's best to be childhood sweethearts who grew up together. She was clever and clever, and in a few short words, she wanted to wake up Ji Ruyue, but she never thought that she would wake up Jiang Qiubai.

Jiang Qiubai's eyes deepened, like the snow that had just melted.

He looked at Yang Jing, "It sounds like you are the person who knows me best." ”

Yang Jing choked and turned around, "What nonsense are you talking about!" ”

How could she possibly know him best?

What she knows best is obviously a woman like Ji Ruyue who can't ask for it!

A woman who is struggling but never puzzled!

This Jiang Qiubai is inevitably too deep into the play!

Yang Jing was made irritable by his words, as if she really knew him.

She talked so loudly today, but it was because she had already witnessed Ji Ruyue's tragic ending in her previous life, so she had a few more words, but she didn't expect to be teased by him!

It really doesn't make sense.

Yang Jing glared at Jiang Qiubai, lifted her feet and left, and the footsteps behind her followed suit.

She deliberately walked very fast, walked in a hurry, and picked a remote and narrow place to walk.

Suddenly, there was darkness ahead, and a tall figure pressed towards her.

"What are you doing? Jiang Qiubai! ”

"For the first time in my life, someone called me by his first name." He seemed to sigh and laugh.

It's a really amazing feeling.

Jiang Qiubai had the light on his back, and his face was black and linen, which was a little different from Yang Jing's arrogant appearance when she saw him on weekdays.

She couldn't see his expression, and her heart was inexplicably flustered.

This alley has always been extremely remote, and Yang Jing only occasionally uses it when she escapes, and she can't imagine moving rocks and smashing her feet today.

She patiently asked again, "What the hell do you want to do?" ”

"Where did we go?" He suddenly burst into words.

Yang Jing also recalled that before Ji Ruyue came, Jiang Qiubai was talking to her about the Liu family's plan to sue her in court.

Seeing her solemn face, Jiang Qiubai knew that she had remembered, so she said, "This place is pure and suitable for talking." ”

He asked, "How do you plan to deal with the affairs of the Liu family?" ”

"The Liu family wants to sue me, just for the account book."

"Then give me the ledger."

Yang Jing: "...... What do you want this thing for? ”

"This, I can't tell you for the time being." Jiang Qiubai said. "I can only say that I am useful."

She thought about it, no matter what Jiang Qiubai wanted to do with this account book, it had nothing to do with her, but this account book was related to the Liu family, if something happened, could she really stay out of it?

I'm afraid I can't.

"I won't give it to you." Yang Jing hesitated, "Unless you tell me, what are you going to use it for?" ”
