Chapter 126: Can't Stop
Qu Youying lay on the soft big bed and didn't sleep all night.
As soon as she closes her eyes, she can think of the events of the day, and her mind is full of wooden candles.
In the end, when she finally fell asleep in a daze, the dreams were all related to Mu Jingzhu, which made her feel in good spirits when she was woken up.
"Miss, what's wrong with you? Didn't you sleep all night when Master Jing Zhu thought about it? β
It was Yun Shu who opened the door and came in and told her to get up.
She was invited by Jiang Tong.
She didn't know the reason for her young lady's disappearance, but she knew that it had something to do with Mu Jingzhu.
It's just that Mu Jingzhu didn't say anything, and his face was very, very bad, even Xie Xiaoer didn't have the courage to ask, and Yun Shu didn't have that guts.
"Why are you here?"
Qu Youying avoided Yun Shu's question, yawned sleepily, and then scratched her messy hair.
Her reaction also made Yun Shu more convinced that her own young lady would definitely have a falling out with Mu Jingzhu, because only when she was really angry with Mu Jingzhu would she ignore him, even if she just heard the name.
"Heyβ" She sighed softly, put the basin in her hand on the washstand, wrung out the sweat towel, turned over to the bed, and handed her the sweat towel.
"It's because the prince doesn't worry about others taking care of you, so he ordered the slave to come."
"He's so kind, he doesn't want me to go to Shui Linze." Qu Youying wiped her face with a sweat towel, and the slightly cool chill made her suddenly sober up a lot, "He asked you to come here, do they all know about Xie Xiaoer?" β
In fact, what she wanted to ask was Mu Jingzhu, did he know? But when the words came to his lips, the name could not be spoken.
As soon as she thought of everything that happened yesterday, a wave of heat surged up in her heart, and after converging, it cooled down little by little, spreading in her heart, which was very uncomfortable.
"Yes!" Yun Shu knew who she was asking, so she pretended not to know and said, "As soon as the Second Young Master heard that you were with the prince, his eyes turned red in anger, and he was clamoring to tell Young Master Jing Zhu!" β
Qu Youying's eyelids jumped, and she opened her mouth to ask, but in the end she swallowed it back.
She put down the sweat towel and said lightly, "Go outside and say something, I'm hungry." β
Yun Shu saw all her actions in her eyes, and it was inevitable that she would be a little disappointed when she said this, but this was not the best time, so she took the sweat towel and went out with a basin of water.
Qu Youying sat alone on the edge of the bed, leaning her back against the bedrail, looking at the wound on her foot.
Last night's medicine really worked, and today not only did her foot hurt, but the wound had dried up.
She bent her feet up, and her slender fingers touched the wound on her foot, looking a little careless, but she didn't know that outside the half-open window, there were always a pair of eyes looking at her.
I looked at every bit of her.
"Babbling", not long after, the door was opened again, but it was not Yun Shu who came in.
"Are you feeling better today?"
Jiang Tong wore a placket robe with a good drape today, the crescent moon was white, which made his long figure more perfect, and there was a piece of turquoise waist hanging from his waist, which was very beautiful and beautiful.
But Qu Youying just glanced at it lightly, and said listlessly, "You came to look for me, is there news about Shui Linze's weakness?" β
She seems to be casual, but she gets straight to the point.
Jiang Tong wanted to chat with her, but seeing that her expression was not good, he knew what was going on, so he was not ambiguous at the moment.
"Indeed."
Qu Youying finally turned her head to look at him directly and asked, "What is it?" β
"From what I know about him, I only know that he likes men, and he never glances at women who take the initiative to approach him. Even the informant I sent to approach him received no further clues. So after you said that yesterday, I sent someone to investigate the people around Shui Linze, especially the people in his yard, and confirmed that he was indeed afraid of women, but not all women were afraid. β
"What do you mean?"
Qu Youying knew that he had gone around in a big circle and said so many words, and this ultimate reason was definitely not simple, so she became more and more curious, and the expression on her face became a lot more energetic because of this.
"Say it quickly!"
Seeing her instantaneous change, Jiang Tong couldn't help but smile, and hooked his finger at her, "You get closer, this secret can't be heard." β
"My feet are not good, you come and say it yourself."
"You invited me!"
Jiang Yun smiled, like a woman, strode forward, sat down beside her, and then attached his mouth.
Qu Youying pursed her lips and listened attentively, her expression changed from curiosity at the beginning to laughter later.
"Hahaha...... This reason is also too hilarious. β
She smiled and danced, and her expression was full of joy and vividness.
This scene completely fell on the wooden candles that had not yet left, staying in the courtyard, looking at this side through the window.
He didn't know what the two were talking about, but he could see that Jiang Tong just said a few words, and Qu Youying changed.
This change made him jealous, and he couldn't wait to step forward and take her away.
But as soon as he remembered the events of yesterday, he stopped, and let the anger in his heart burn, and there was nothing he could do.
It wasn't until someone hurried by in the courtyard that he quietly retreated.
Jiang Tong looked at her and smiled, stretched out his hand to pull the hair from her ear for her, his eyes unintentionally looked towards the window, and suddenly smiled.
He got up and walked to the brocade at the table and sat down, reached out to pour water, but found that the kettle was empty, he sighed, and did not ask anyone to make tea, but put down the kettle.
"Now that you know, you can go quickly, this king is not a good person."
Qu Youying knew that he said this on purpose, since they met, it was rare for Jiang Tong to call himself "this king" in front of her.
So she pulled the futon over the side and covered her legs, saying, "But my feet still hurt!" I don't know what Shui Linze will be like when he breaks out, but I have to take good care of my feet. β
"But if you don'tβ"
Before Jiang Tong finished speaking, there was a knock on the door.
Mu Yu's voice sounded outside, "Lord Wang, something happened." β
Just five words made the two people in the room stunned.
"Come in." Jiang Tong held an empty teacup, played with it in the palm of his hand, and waited for Mu Yu to come in before saying, "What's wrong?" β
"It's the water house that has an accident." Mu Yu's expression was serious, and he didn't sell Guan Zi and said, "This morning, a carrion was dug up under a big tree in the West Garden of Shuifu. β
"Carrion?" As soon as Qu Youying heard the corpse, her eyes lit up, and she analyzed, "What is the degree of decay?" Now that the weather is hot and there are carriers, the time of death should be in the near future. β
"I don't know about that." Mu Yu replied in a proper manner, "The subordinates just came back to report to the prince, and I hope that the prince will send someone to conduct an autopsy." β
"Hey, interesting." Jiang Tong hooked his lips and smiled, and threw the cup in his palm, "If this kind of thing happens, the people of Shuifu will not report to the official, but they will inform this king, whose idea is this?" β
"It's the fourth son."
"Shui Linze?"
Qu Youying frowned.
That night, Shui Linze saw her autopsy, and she was with Mu Jingzhu, and it was men's clothing, and she had nothing to do with Jiang Tong.
So even if you want to find an outsider for an autopsy, you have to go to the Supreme House to find Xie Xiaoer.
Why did you come here to find her?
Unless- she squinted, and Jiang Tong's gaze met unexpectedly in the air.
The eyes of the two of them fully told each other, and someone must have told Shui Linze that she was here.
It's just that I don't know if the person told Shui Linze her identity.
"What are you going to do?" After a short silence, Qu Youying took the initiative to say, "Since the people in Shuifu listened to Shui Linze's proposal and didn't report to the official, they definitely didn't want to attract too much attention before the old lady's birthday. So what are you going to do? β
"What else can I do?" Jiang Tong laughed angrily and said, "Since Shui Linze took the initiative to bring it up, then let's go and take a look, and Heng Zhu should also block his mouth on this matter." β
Qu Youying raised her eyebrows when she heard this, and added in her heart, it would be good if it really went so well.
For some reason, she always felt that since she met this Shui Linze, many things had begun to become unnatural.
It's as if there is a pair of intangible things, separated from everyone's contact with people.
Because of such an incident, very few people in Shuifu know about it, and they are all ordered to keep their mouths shut, once the news leaks, no matter who it is, they will not show mercy.
Among them, it does not include the old lady.
Early yesterday morning, the old lady took the female dependents of the family to the meditation outside the city, and went to eat fast and chant the Buddha to purify the body and meditate.
I won't be back until the eve of the birthday party.
Therefore, now only the third son Shui Wuze and the fourth son Shui Linze are responsible for handling this matter, after all, they are jointly responsible for the matter of the old lady's birthday.
The two have different personalities and naturally different attitudes towards handling things, but in this matter, the two have rarely reached the same opinion - that is, to invite another person to conduct an autopsy.
But who to ask for an autopsy is a big question.
Looking at the entire Water Mist City, there are people who come and go to congratulate their birthdays at this moment, if they are allowed to conduct an autopsy, once the news leaks, this birthday will definitely have a great impact.
This is the same as reporting to the government.
Therefore, it is necessary to invite a big man who can suppress this matter, and he will come forward to invite someone, and then shut that person's mouth.
Therefore, Shui Wuze chose Jiang Tong, because he was Jiang Tong's person.
It's just that the power of the Water Mansion has always been in the hands of the old lady, and the old lady is in the middle, not favoring any prince, so the water house has not been in a correct position so far.
Therefore, Shui Wuze only dared to show friendship with Jiang Tong in private.
As long as he gets the position of the heir of the Water Mansion, he will directly explain the choice of the Water Mansion.
There is also a water linze that can be evenly matched with him.
For him to invite Jiang Yun to take charge, Shui Linze didn't agree at first, and the two quarreled about it, and finally Shui Linze took a step back.
However, he said that in addition to the autopsy and plugging Yoyo's mouth, one person was still needed to investigate the case, and it was up to him to decide who he would.
Although Shui Wuze disagreed, he did not refuse on the surface, because he thought that as long as Jiang Tong came here and wanted to sleep to investigate the case, Jiang Tong would have the final say, and Shui Linze had no right to interfere.
So he quickly sent someone to invite Jiang Tong.
"So you three sons sent to find my lord?"
In front of the Shuifu Gate, it was the confidant of the third prince who received them, and Qu Youying knew that it was not Shui Linze, but Shui Wuze.
But this kind of thing shouldn't be mistaken, so she looked back at Mu Yu who was following behind.
Mu Yu immediately shook her head and whispered beside her, "It's not that my subordinates heard it wrong, that person kept saying that it was the fourth son." β
Qu Youying nodded, she didn't suspect Mu Yu, but this matter was a little strange.
It is clear that it is feasible to invite Jiang Tong to the mansion as Shui Wuze and Shui Linze.
But why do the people who say it have to say that Shui Wuze is Shui Linze?
Could it be that there really is a third party in this?
