Jiang Tong glanced at the IOU, did not put it away, but turned sideways, and picked a grape on the side of the chaise longue with his slender fingers.

The deep purple grapes looked crystal clear under his overly white fingers.

He pinched the grapes with his index finger and thumb, but he didn't eat them, put them in front of his eyes, and looked at Qu Youying through the grapes.

Qu Youying didn't know what tricks he was playing, so he sat down across from him, poured himself a glass of water, and drank it all in one gulp.

Jiang Tong saw her actions, sneered, and then said, "The relationship between them is like the relationship between this hand and the grapes." ”

Qu Youying was slightly stunned, "You mean they have a handle to be manipulated by the other party?" ”

"Yes and no." He turned sideways, lay flat on the chaise longue, ate the grapes in one bite, and said vaguely, "But as for who is the hand and who is the grape, I don't know!" ”

"Hmph, you don't know?" Qu Youying glanced at him, and said angrily, "Anyway, what I promised you has been achieved, and you must also guarantee my safety in front of King Yi." ”

"It's easy to say, I will protect you properly, don't worry."

Jiang Tong smiled and narrowed, but Qu Youying smiled so much that he didn't really want to help her, as for why he borrowed her hand to find Shui Linze, by this time, she understood a little.

One last glance at the so-called IOU, she got up and left.

Jiang Tong watched her back disappear at the door, and then reached out to get the IOU.

This was supposed to be a piece of paper, but it was cleverly combined with two pieces of paper.

Jiang Tong put the white paper on the lamp and roasted it for a while, and the two pieces of paper automatically separated.

The first piece of paper was an IOU written by Qu Youying, and the second piece of paper was only signed by Shui Linze.

He stared at the name for a long time, and finally smiled wordlessly.

Qu Youying walked out of the courtyard, but suddenly she didn't know where she was going.

She came here for an autopsy as Jiang Tong's entourage, and there is nothing to examine the corpse now. said to go and rest, she was afraid that Shui Linze would appear out of nowhere.

So she stood in front of the courtyard, and was a little dilemma for a while.

When she was wondering whether to return to Wuxinju, she heard a woman's voice in front of her, which was somewhat familiar.

She looked around, and at a glance she saw Aunt Sun and Qu Qiluo.

"Why are they here?"

"You don't know?"

There was a sudden sound of answering from behind, Qu Youying looked back and found that it was Mu Yu.

She smiled, "Do you know? ”

"Of course." Mu Yu said, "The Sun family and Yun Niang, the wife of the third master of Shuifu, are cousins, and this time because the two princes came to Shuifu to celebrate their birthdays, the family members of Shuifu have invited some women who have not left the cabinet in their own doors, and their purpose is obvious." But how can someone of such character as the prince of my family fall in love with a woman like them. ”

The corners of Qu Youying's mouth twitched, she plucked out her ears, and Hanzang echoed sarcastically, "Yes, with the unique character of your prince, whose woman can enter his eyes, the ancestral grave must be full of grass that can't be pulled out." ”

When Mu Yu heard this, she was not angry, but stared at her with a smile.

"What do you see, do I have anything on my face?"

"I just want to say that the ancestral grave of Miss Qu's family is covered with this kind of grass."

He dropped such a sentence and walked away with arrogant steps, leaving Qu Youying alone in the wind.

After a long time, she said to herself, "Am I pitting myself?" ”

No one answered her words, and she felt bored, so she was very careful not to let the Sun mother and daughter find her, and then she left the water mansion and returned to the Supreme House.

As soon as Yun Shu saw her come back, she was happy and complaining, nagging non-stop, she was tired of listening, so she locked people out of the door and fell asleep.

This sleep was enough for a day and a night, and I slept until it was dark.

When Qu Youying woke up, she was very hungry, and she didn't want to move when she saw that it was already dark outside.

But the spineless gurgling of her stomach forced her to get up and look for food.

But someone cared so much about her, and before she could open the door and go out, someone outside came in with a plate of food, and when they saw her awake, they grinned.

"Jing Zhu said, you wake up at this time and ask me to prepare food for you, you have slept for so long, you are definitely hungry."

Qu Youying glanced at him and said angrily, "Then why are you here?" Where's my Yunshu? ”

"Yun Shu was called by Jing Candle to help, even Qianxi is not there, only I will serve you!" Xie Xiaoer put all the food on the tray on the table, and didn't forget to praise himself, "I am the second young master of the Xie Mansion, only others serve me, I serve people very preciously, you have to cherish it." ”

Qu Youying sniffed, sucked the deliciousness of the food into her stomach, and was even more hungry, no matter how narcissistic he was, she sat down and picked up chopsticks and started eating, but she didn't forget to praise him.

"Yes, yes, Second Young Master Xie is the best person, you can also sit down and eat together!"

This was very useful to Xie Xiaoer, he sat next to Qu Youying and served her a bowl of soup.

"You eat slowly, no one will rob you. When I'm done eating, tomorrow morning, I'll take you to buy some ready-to-wear clothes. ”

"Why?"

Xie Xiaoer also filled a bowl of soup himself, drank it slowly, and said, "Because the old lady came back early the day after tomorrow, as my father's representative, I must go to see the old lady, and you, as my maidservant, must go together, your clothes are too unpopular, so you have to change." ”

"Oh." Qu Youying nodded, not suspicious, but after eating halfway, she asked again, "You just said that Mu Jingzhu called Yun Shu away to help, what can she do as a girl to help?" ”

"Tonight, Jing Candle is going to arrest the murderer in Shuifu."

Qu Youying was stunned for a moment, and turned her head to look at him, "Murderer? The murderer of that woman? ”

"Yes."

"You found it?"

"Yes."

"Why didn't Jing Candle go to you, but asked Yun Shu for help?"

"This-" Xie Xiaoer was a little embarrassed, he held the last note, and said for a while, "You also know that the corpse decomposed like that, and there are extremely few clues on it that are useful to me, not to mention the surrounding evidence, which is almost zero." So to find the killer through the body, the probability is almost zero. ”

Qu Youying nodded while eating, "That's true, it's best to know that person's identity before you can follow the vine." Otherwise, based on the clues on the corpse alone, there will be many people who match the identity. ”

Although she said this, she was also hesitating in her heart, whether to take out the portrait of her painting the bones of the rotting corpse.

Because with the portrait, it will be much easier to know the identity of this person and check it again.

It's just that in this way, she is going to reveal one of her skills.

However, since she came here, she had a feeling that she didn't want the people of Shuifu to know that she could touch the bones and paint the skin, so she didn't even know about Mu Jingzhu and Xie Xiaoer about painting the skin of the carrion.

Xie Xiaoer took a sip of soup and looked up at her.

"But it's actually very simple to know who she is, as long as you come forward."

Qu Youying smiled quietly, "But doesn't Mu Jingzhu already have a clue now?" He was already very good at judging cases and defending grievances, and he could have found the murderer without my skin painting technique before, so I was only his assistant, not the first priority. ”

When she said this, Xie Xiaoer kept staring at her, and the faint yellow candle flame shone in his eyes, making the pure black pupils seem to burst out with the color of flames, but with a temperature like frost.

After a long time, he sneered and laughed, and his facial features moved together, as if the freeze just now was just a mirage.

"I know I'm worried, but don't you think it's strange! He originally came to Shuifu with us to hide his identity and keep a low profile. But suddenly he took out the identity of a detective and assisted Shuifu in investigating the case, which would interfere with our original plan. ”

Qu Youying's chopsticks for a meal.

Xie Xiaoer is indeed right, this time in addition to coming to congratulate the old lady on her birthday, their original purpose was to find her master, although the purpose of their two rooms is different, but at least the person they are looking for is the same.

But because her master is always elusive, Xie Xiaoer learned the news halfway, and the people in Shuifu are also looking for him, so they can only keep a low profile, everything is done with Xie Fu, and she and Mu Jingzhu pretend to be inconspicuous slaves, so it is also convenient to act.

But since coming here, since the death of King Yi's men, everything seems to have changed.

As soon as Xie Xiaoer said this today, Qu Youying felt as if there were two hands invisibly forcing them to change their plans, and then they began to walk along the road paved by that hand.

"You noticed that, didn't you? Someone was keeping an eye on us in the dark. Xie Xiaoer said, "Since your disappearance, I have had this feeling, I told Jing Candle, but Jing Candle didn't answer me anything, and then when I knew, he appeared in Shuifu with you for an autopsy." Judging from the scene at that time, he should be standing on Shui Linze's side, right? In Shuifu, the two most favorite heirs of this generation of old Taijun are the third son, Shui Wuze, and the fourth son, Shui Linze. King Ji looked at the side of Shui Mist, but Jing Zhu was biased towards Shui Linze. But what I can't understand is, why are you with King Ji? What's wrong with you and Jing Candle? No matter which faction of Shuifu is, I advise you not to get involved, the depth of the water in Shuifu is not something you and I can figure out. ”

Xie Xiaoer occasionally said some big truths, but this time he did get to the point.

He knew far more about Shuifu than them, so he just appeared as a birthday congratulator at the beginning.

But as things happened, three factions have been formed among them.

Wooden candles live in Shuilinze.

She herself lives under Jiang Tong and is a faction of Mist City.

Xie Xiaoer, on the other hand, is neutral.

This realization made Qu Youying's heart instantly cold, as if swallowing a mouthful of ice water in winter, spreading around in an instant.

"What do you think of that?"

Qu Youying opened her mouth and asked, and for the first time in her heart, she had no bottom in her heart.

Xie Xiaoer scratched his head, and said with a smile, "I don't know what to do, Jing Candle's temperament, I can't control him, he must have something important to do when he approaches Shui Linze, so I can only tell you." I hope you-"

He put down his hand, his pure black eyes staring at Qu Youying, without blinking.

"Keep your distance from King Ji."
