Xu was aroused by her satisfied appearance, and Xiao Qinglang also made an exception to ask for two more bowls, and even ate some bean paste buns.

Wei Guang, who was forcibly dragged to sit down and eat together, hurriedly pulled the rice in the bowl, and put the four big words "ignore you" on his head vividly. In fact, he really didn't want to look at those two people at all.

God knows, he is extremely calm now, how shocked he was when he first saw Xu Chu calmly eating at the same table with the prince, and did not use chopsticks to help the prince pick up the dishes. And when he saw the prince actually eating those meals with a smile, he almost dropped his jaw.

You must know that the prince has never liked to be close to people, and even once he ate at the same table with King Qi, he did not hesitate to help King Qi with vegetables. Not to mention eating, I didn't even move.

At that time, the king of Qi and the emperor laughed at him, saying that such a clean person wanted to be in charge of the world's prisons. I don't know how to bear those strange corpses of different shapes and shapes, and the filth and blood in the prison.

After dinner, Xiao Qinglang didn't want to bother Xu Chulao, so he got up and said, "It's late, I'll send you back to your room to rest." In the past few days, there are no cases to investigate, so you should relax for a while. If you feel bored, go to my study and look at the files sent from all over the world. ”

Xu Chu didn't hesitate when she first entered his study, she smiled: "I used to think that Gongzi was really unkind and silent, but now it seems that the rumors are not very detailed. ”

Xiao Qinglang saw that she was still laughing, and knew that she was probably really freed from her self-doubt that day. So, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile, and he said helplessly: "That is to say, when you go to the capital in the future, you are afraid that you will hear more unworthy rumors about me." ”

After all, the name of the jade-faced Yama is not for nothing.

The glazed palace lamp emits a soft glow in the dark night, making the surroundings more quiet and hazy. The sycamores in the garden are still craggy and cold, leaving a sparse shadow under the moonlight.

Xiao Qinglang held the palace lamp in one hand and Xu Chu's hand in the other, and walked forward with a calm expression.

"I heard that the cat that was sent to Mrs. Song before was raised very well?" Xu Chu looked sideways slightly, looked at him, restrained his coldness, and asked with only a little lazy and gentle eyebrows.

Xiao Qinglang glanced at her deeply, and said with a smile: "It's very good." But it is precisely because of this that Mrs. Song will never want to find you in private again. ”

Otherwise, with the old lady's invitations one after another, Xu Chu is really bad and can't shirk it every time. What's more, if Song Derong is really suspicious, it is very easy to borrow the old lady's hand to find Xu Chu to enter the mansion.

But now, the cat has made the old lady's life and even the Song family jump, making Song Derong more and more reluctant to return to the back house. And the old lady is the same, because she knows the details of Song Derong, she doesn't want to see the person who killed her own son.

"You think it's really worth it for the old lady to do this? Knowing that the enemy is by her side, and enjoying her son's glory, wealth and power, she can still be calm. ”

Obviously, Xu Chu didn't understand the old lady's approach very much. If it were her, I was afraid that she would have a trouble with the fake Song Derong.

Xiao Qinglang saw that she was still a little entangled, and immediately said with sarcasm and disdain: "For the old lady, the lintel and reputation of the Song family are the most important. For example, in the world's powerful families, many housewives know that their heirs will fight for family wealth and status, but they still choose to whitewash the peace. Even if the son-in-law is framed to death, some people will choose to swallow the blood and tears in their stomachs, and then choose the concubine to raise under their knees with a smile......"

"Xiao Chu, most people in the world will be blinded by fame and fortune. Otherwise, how could there be so many unbelievable cases? ”

His voice was low, and he didn't know if it was just to tell Xu Chu or if he meant something.

Just when Xu Chu was puzzled and looked at him in confusion for some reason, he heard him speak again: "It's here, have a good rest tonight." In two days, we will go to Liu's Mansion together, and there will be a good show to watch at that time. ”

Xu Chu looked at him and smiled slowly, and nodded instinctively. As for the doubts in her heart, she didn't ask them again.

Some things are too profound and complicated, and Xu Chu doesn't plan to delve into them. She'd rather face corpses that don't lie than those.

For the next two days, the wind and waves were calm. However, it can be seen that Xiao Qinglang is even busier, and even did not return home at night for a while, which made Xu Chusheng worry a lot.

But every time I saw him come home, he still thought about instructing the kitchen to make soup for her wholeheartedly. Xu Chu still couldn't help but be moved, and then helped him sort out the files in various places more and more meticulously.

Of course, in her free time, she still sorts out the codex of her investigation and records it into a book. From the details of the autopsy, to the inference of the time of death, even the detective ideas are all noted one by one.

Because of the dossier that Xiao Qinglang specially found to relieve her boredom, she naturally had more and more cases to refer to, and she no longer had to limit herself to the few cases she had investigated.

In this way, there are plenty of examples in her book that can be used as references. For example, the difference between hanging himself and his murder and pretending to hang himself, and the red makeup case based on the residual spices on the deceased's skirt to push the case, these are much wider than the ordinary simple examination of the corpse, but they also play a more important role in solving the case.

Time passed, and soon it was March 27, that is, the day of the banquet in Liu's mansion.

Early in the morning, Xu Chu got up and changed into the Luo skirt specially prepared for her by Xiao Qinglang. Layered on top of each other, although cumbersome, it is really beautiful. Rao is a person like Xu Chu who is used to neat clothes, and he can't help but like it.

But what she didn't expect was that the moment she opened the door, she saw the handsome figure under the corridor.

Xiao Qinglang wore a light blue robe today, without the beautiful and handsome with wide sleeves in the past, but with more modest and elegant posture. The black hair is high, the green jade is the crown, the lips are red and the teeth are white, and he is really a beautiful man.

The gentle sunlight fell on his face, and it even reflected a bit of fairy energy.

Similarly, the moment Xiao Qinglang saw Xu Chu again, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. He naturally knew how beautiful Xiao Chu looked after makeup. But she didn't know that a pink light gauze Yuehualuo skirt would make her a little greener. is like a delicate flower, and it seems to be the moon season stained with morning dew, coupled with the coolness of her gestures, it can only make people more and more unable to take their eyes off.

At this time, the sun was just right, gentle and bright, and her face without makeup was white and transparent, like a fine white jade, like a dream, which made people indulge.

is so beautiful, it really makes Xiao Qinglang's steps confused for a moment. The so-called lover's eyes are out of Xi Shi, and the ancients did not deceive me.

It wasn't until he saw Xu Chu tugging at Luo's skirt that he took a deep breath, pretended to smile calmly and stepped forward to pick her up.

"Why don't you take a little more rest?"

"If you want to go to a banquet, you can't be late."

"It's not a good feast, don't be in a hurry." As he spoke, he took Xu Chu and walked straight to the flower hall.

Since it was a Hongmen banquet for the two of them, it must not be in the way for those people to wait a little longer. Left and right, it is rare that he and Xiao Chu can have a meal without being disturbed.

Thinking of this, Xiao Qinglang couldn't help but sigh deeply in his heart. There are secret guards around him to protect him, and coupled with Wei Guang, a personal guard, it is difficult to find many opportunities to talk to Xiao Chu intimately.

Who knows, later came Mingzhu and Hua Wuxi, especially Mingzhu's good deeds that he had to break every time. Is...... Let him have a fire in his heart but nowhere to say.

The fragrance fluttered, Xu Chu looked at the light but fragrant food on the table, and his appetite was aroused. To be honest, the meals made by the cook Xiao Qinglang found were particularly to her liking. There were even a few times when she vaguely ate the taste of her father's cooking. At that time, if she hadn't found the cook who was cooking and confirmed that it was not her father, she was afraid that she would have suspected that her father would hide his identity and potential for the prince's side.

Xu was because she thought of Xu Yanzuo, which made her mood inexplicably low.

"I don't know what happened to my dad now, but my dad used to like to put some capers when stir-frying vegetables. That's what he's been doing since he was a kid...... he says.

Xiao Qinglang saw that her tone was low, only looking at the dishes on the plate in a daze, and couldn't help but reach out to help her clip a chopsticks of green vegetables.

"The Sichuan and Shu generations often stir-fry some pickled capers, which are appetizing and can drive away the cold. Today's chefs learned art in the Sichuan and Shu generation when they were young, and they only wanted to return to their hometown when they were older. Xiao Qinglang took away the thoughtful look in his eyes, and persuaded as usual, "Let's eat some more, the banquet is usually after noon, and you have to wait." ”

Xu Chu took a deep breath, raised his head and smiled, not letting himself fall into a sluggish mood anymore. If there is no hardship, Daddy will never be so abnormal, since this is the case, let her help find out Daddy's helplessness, and then solve it.

After breakfast, Xiao Qinglang reviewed the official documents for a while, and then slowly took Xu Chu out under Wei Guang's reminder.

Because it was Zhang Fu'er's birthday, and the Liu family was a banquet, they naturally had to prepare a little courtesy. In this way, as soon as Xu Chu got on the carriage, he saw a few brocades loaded on the carriage.

"Isn't this what Song Derong sent to seal our mouths before?" Xu Chu looked at the person sitting upright and asked strangely.

Xiao Qinglang nodded lightly and replied casually: "Well, I've been too busy lately to prepare gifts." ”

Xu Chu saw that his expression remained unchanged, and he didn't seem to take this matter to heart, and suddenly secretly said in his heart, this is too perfunctory. But after thinking about it, seeing that they will inevitably tear their faces with Song Derong, Liu Rangmo and others, and then they will be incompatible, and it seems that it is not so important to be perfunctory or not.
