Qu Youying's final answer was that the cooperation between her and King Ji had ended, and she would keep the necessary distance.

Xie Xiaoer left with confidence.

But after that, Qu Youying sat in front of the window and didn't close her eyes until dawn.

It's not that she can't sleep, but she was disturbed by Xie Xiaoer's reminder.

She held her chin and looked at the nascent sunlight in the distance, her head a little confused.

Until Chen, Xie Xiaoer took her to the garment store outside to buy clothes.

I have to say that Second Young Master Xie is a little willful, since the news of the old lady's birthday banquet spread in this Mist City, prices have risen rapidly, and all the lambs slaughtered are rich.

Xie Xiaoer is one of them, saying that he bought clothes for his maidservant, but what he bought was the material worn by the lady in the boudoir.

This made Qu Youying very suspicious.

"What are you buying me such beautiful clothes for?"

"We're going to see the old lady! So dress decently. ”

Qu Youying's eyes narrowed, and she stood face to face with Xie Xiaoer, "But I'm your maidservant, and I'm dressed as well as the young master, I'm afraid it will make people misunderstand, right?" ”

Xie Xiaoer unconsciously dodged his eyes, and said hesitantly, "Because I am Second Young Master Xie and have a remarkable identity, the people around me naturally can't agree with others." ”

"I think you're a dog's head." Qu Youying pursed her lips and directly debunked him, "Is it that Mu Jingzhu gave you some task, and asked you and me to pretend to be some role, right?" ”

"No, no."

Xie Xiaoer still refused to admit it, Qu Youying felt strange last night, with Xie Xiaoer's head, even if he said something amazing, he wouldn't say it in such detail.

She didn't think much of it at the time, but in hindsight she felt that something was wrong.

Unless someone reminded him, he wouldn't be so kind to talk to her so much.

Because on weekdays, when the two of them eat and drink alone, they talk about gossip, no matter when, they are in the spirit of eating, drinking, and having fun to rest their heads, rather than always thinking about big things.

"Since you don't say it, I'll leave, I still have an appointment with Jiang Tong."

She turned around decisively and left, and Xie Xiaoer's eyes quickly grabbed the person.

"Didn't you say you wouldn't associate with him?"

"That's for your sake of being honest with me."

"Okay, good, I'll tell you."

Xie Xiaoer sighed, pursed his lips, and obviously hesitated for a moment before saying, "Jing Zhu saw the Sun family's mother and daughter in Shuifu yesterday, and I was afraid that they would recognize you and make trouble for you, so I wanted you to pretend to be my cousin." And the clothes you brought with you when you went out this time were too unimpressive, and you couldn't wear Qianxi's clothes, so I brought you here to buy clothes. ”

"Really?"

"Really."

Although there was nothing wrong with hearing this, Qu Youying was still a little suspicious.

However, even if she was suspicious, she wanted to hide from Sun's mother and daughter, so Qu Youying hesitated for a while, but she still agreed, and took advantage of this to blackmail Xie Xiaoer fiercely, buying a lot of jewelry, clothes, spices and so on.

Xie Xiaoer cautiously breathed a sigh of relief, and simply had Sun's mother and daughter as a shield, otherwise it would be troublesome for her to know the real reason.

"Jing Candle, you came up with the idea, and you have to help me explain it in the end!"

Xie Xiaoer muttered silently all the way, and Qu Youying turned back coldly, "What are you muttering!" ”

"No, no." Xie Xiaoer smiled and strode forward, "Let's go back quickly." ”

Qu Youying nodded, and the two of them returned to the Supreme House one after the other.

At that time, Yun Shu had already returned, but Qian Xi and Mu Jingzhu did not know where to go, and Xie Xiaoer didn't seem to be in a hurry, eating the snacks sent from the kitchen, and looking at Qu Youying's appearance.

Qu Youying set things up and sat down in front of the mirror, holding a paintbrush in her hand, but she didn't do it for a long time.

Yun Shu waited on the side, not at all sleepy because he had not slept all night.

Qu Youying glanced at her curiously, and finally couldn't help asking, "Last night, how happened to Shuifu?" ”

At the mention of this, Yun Shuke was happy.

She said, "Young Master Jing Zhu didn't want to be too powerful last night!" caught the prisoner, and learned from the man's mouth that he was the one who killed and removed the corpse, and the purpose was the key in the corpse's stomach. It was only in the process of transferring the body that he was discovered, so he had to leave the body behind and flee. It's a pity that when he finally asked him who the female corpse was, he had a heart attack and died. ”

Yun Shu nagged everything she knew, and the prisoner they caught was an old gardener in Shuifu.

Xie Xiaoer heard it bluntly and said that Mu Jingzhu was very powerful, and he could solve the case so quickly.

Both of them praised Mu Jingzhu from beginning to end.

But only Qu Youying was not happy to hear it, because from Yun Shu's narration, it can be known that an old man killed another old man, but he didn't attack him for so long in the time of death, and dug up the key, but he had to move the body in broad daylight?

This is not what a normal prisoner would do.

And it was by no means when the identity of the deceased was inquired that the prisoner would have a recurrence of heart disease and die.

All these coincidences can only show that the old gardener is a substitute for the dead.

Whether Shui Wuze and Shui Lin Ze believe it or not, at least until the old lady comes back, they can only believe it.

"Miss, what are you thinking? Do you also think that Young Master Jing Zhu is very powerful? ”

"Nope." Qu Youying put down the paintbrush in her hand, picked up the wooden comb, combed her hair, and said, "I was just thinking, why did he do this?" How many people in Shuifu believe? ”

Yun Shu blinked and asked incomprehensibly, "What do you mean?" ”

"Nothing."

She was facing the mirror, and suddenly someone knocked on the door outside, "Excuse me, is Jiang Si Gongzi here?" Someone sent you a letter. ”

"Checkmate?" Yun Shu looked inexplicable, "Who is this name?" It's so unlucky. ”

"Me." Qu Youying grinned at her and said, "You put the letter at the door." ”

"Okay."

After the man left, Qu Youying asked Yun Shu to get the letter.

Yun Shu was curious, handed the letter to Qu Youying, and asked, "Why did you choose such a name, it sounds so strange!" ”

"Haha, that's it." Xie Xiaoer shook his fan and said, "Who will send you a letter?" ”

Qu Youying opened the envelope and said slowly, "Shui Linze." ”

"Huh?" Xie Xiaoer was shocked, "What is he going to do when he looks for you?" ”

"It's probably because I miss me!"

Qu Youying laughed, opened the letter, and wrote a lot of love words on it, and the crispness revealed by those words made Qu Youying's goosebumps rise when she saw it.

I didn't expect Shui Linze to be such a handsome person to have such a vulgar fetish.

It is really a human being who cannot be seen.

"What did he write? Why does he call you Ginger? ”

Xie Xiaoer was very curious, he knew that Shui Linze had a habit of dragon yang, and he laughed so much that he probably fell in love with Qu Youying, who was dressed as a man.

After receiving the letter handed over by Qu Youying, Xie Xiaoer glanced at it and slapped it on the table.

"Shui Si's taste is getting more and more vulgar, why doesn't anyone clean him up!"

"It's almost there." Qu Youying sat down in front of the mirror again, and said to Yun Shu behind her, "You comb me a beautiful bun, and we'll have a good meeting with the fourth son tonight." ”

From her chuckle, Xie Xiaoer smelled a mischief.

His eyes lit up, rubbed to Qu Youying's side, half-bent over, and said with a smile, "Are you going to attack the water?" Would you like to bring me with you? With me as your divine assist, you will definitely get twice the result with half the effort. ”

Qu Youying smiled at the mirror, hooked her finger at him, and closed her mouth with a smile.

That night, 戌時, Yirong Yuan.

Yirong Garden is the largest entertainment place for gentlemen in Mist City.

When night falls, many people will gather here for a night of leisure, doing everything and being presumptuous.

Qu Youying wore a hat and followed Xie Xiaoer into Yirong Garden along the flow of people, and went to the wing room booked by Shui Linze.

"Xiaoying, look, is that Jing Candle?"

Just when Qu Youying pushed open the door and was about to enter, Xie Xiaoer, who was beside her, pulled her.

She looked over and saw the familiar person in the corridor opposite.

She couldn't help frowning slightly, and before she could speak, Xie Xiaoer said, "Jing Zhu must have come here to handle the case, otherwise, with his temperament, how could he suddenly appear——"

Before he finished speaking, the two of them saw a bewitching woman come out of the opposite room, her slender hands on Mu Jingzhu's shoulders.

Mu Jingzhu didn't pull her hand down, but followed her pull and entered the room, and the door was quickly closed, cutting off everyone's sight.

Qu Youying's face sank instantly, turned around and opened the door and walked in.

Xie Xiaoer touched his nose and wanted to explore the wind, but he felt that he had to comfort Qu Youying first, so he also turned around and walked in.

"Jing Zhu must have something to do here, you know his temperament, and he will never do anything to a woman other than you."

"Oh, really?"

Qu Youying sat at the table and poured herself a glass of water, her heart was uneven, and the hand holding the glass was also extremely tight.

"It's true, you have to believe him, he cares about you so much, he will never do anything sorry for you."

Qu Youying stared at the water glass, didn't speak, didn't drink water, just like a big Buddha, motionless.

Xie Xiaoer saw that he was in a hurry, he walked around the room, and said, "Anyway, Shui Si hasn't come yet, why don't I go over there to find out the situation first?" ”

Qu Youying lowered her head and took a sip of water, not answering.

Xie Xiaoer clasped his fist into the palm of the other hand and decided, "That's it." I'm going to find out what's going on, and you're here waiting for Shui Si and doing what you planned. The people I'm looking for will come in a moment. Can you handle it? ”

Qu Youying put down the water glass and said calmly, "Yes." ”

"Alright, I'll get back quickly."

Xie Xiaoer patted her on the shoulder heavily, repeatedly told her to believe Mu Jingzhu, and then opened the door and went out.

After he left, Qu Youying's hands began to tremble.

She tried to hold it tightly, but it was as if there was a numb force in her palm, filling her, making it impossible for her to exert her strength.

All that I could think of was the picture of Mu Jingzhu and the woman together.

The woman, she knew, was the woman who appeared in the candlestick room with a wooden view.

The meeting between the two of them for three days is still mysterious and mysterious, and it is by no means an ordinary relationship.

To be honest, she really wanted to know who this person was, but she also knew that Mu Jingzhu would not tell her, otherwise he would have said it early that day.

"I didn't expect that between us, there are still people who can't be spoken."

She shook her head and laughed at herself, but suddenly heard a sound behind her.

"Wrong, between us, we can say anything."

The familiar voice made Qu Youying's whole body excited.
