Shang Yucheng sat in front of the dresser, put the jewelry he bought today into the drawer one by one, and then got up to change his clothes.

As soon as she stood up, she looked down at the dresser again, and couldn't help frowning. The wax pill had been kept here for some days, and the woman who had died in the bathroom of the Lowe Hotel had entrusted it to herself with such a precious place, and even the agents of the Party Affairs Investigation Department had come to inquire about it, so it was evident that the things in the wax pill were very important—but why had no one come to find them?

Shang Yucheng thought for a while, walked over and locked the room, then walked over again, squatted down to open the dark compartment in the dresser, took out the wax pill and put it in the palm of his hand, and shook it lightly a few times.

Do you want to open it? Shang Yucheng hesitated, and the wax pill spun around a few times in his hand.

Suddenly, Shang Yucheng's eyes froze suddenly, stunned, she took the wax pill in front of her eyes again, pinched it with two fingers and looked at it carefully a few times, and then put down her hand with a solemn expression and stood up.

This is not the wax pill that I put here at the time. Shang Yucheng clearly remembered that there was a shallow crack on the wax pill, which should have been left by the marks left when he fell to the ground in the bathroom of the Lowe Hotel. But this wax pill is perfect - the previous wax pill has been dropped!

Almost instantly, Shang Yucheng thought of the other person in the house, Xianglin.

Only she had the opportunity to enter this room, and only had time to search slowly, and even she didn't need to search at all—Shang Yucheng suddenly remembered the soft sound of the door when he opened the dressing stool in the room after Gao Cangyue came to the house.

Could it be—really her?

Shang Yucheng took the wax pill in his hand in front of his eyes again and looked at it over and over again.

Except for the crack, this wax pill was almost identical to the previous one, no different in color, size, or weight. From this, it can be inferred that the person who replaced the wax pill was likely to be the maker of the wax pill in the first place.

But why not just steal the wax pills, but exchange them for the fake ones so much? Could it be that there is anything else in him that is worthy of the other party's plot?

"Miss." Xianglin's voice came out from outside, "It's time to eat—"

Shang Yucheng put the wax pill back into the dresser, opened the door and walked out.

Xianglin looked at Shang Yucheng and said with concern, "Miss, what's wrong with you, why is your face not good?" ”

Shang Yucheng sighed, "Thinking of tomorrow's party to entertain many people, my head hurts." ”

Xianglin smiled, "Tomorrow must be a little tired, but this is a big happy event, Miss just bear with it." Go to bed early tonight and stop working hard with a book. ”

Shang Yucheng smiled and nodded, sat down and picked up chopsticks, and Xianglin also sat down and ate a meal.

When Xianglin first came, he abided by the rules of master and servant, and insisted on refusing to drink Shang Yucheng and eat at the same table. It's just that Shang Yucheng doesn't have such outdated thoughts, not to mention that there are two people in the family, and it would be absurd if they were divided into two places to eat, and insisted that Xianglin eat with her, so the two often talked and chatted at the dinner table.

Shang Yucheng took the soup served by Xianglin and asked casually, "You are only one year younger than me, so you must have a marriage contract at home?" ”

Xianglin smiled shyly and didn't speak, which was a tacit acquiescence.

Shang Yucheng looked up and saw her like this, and said with a smile, "Is it really there?" You're going to keep it a secret, and you're not telling me these days. What does that gentleman do? ”

"It's also working in a big family's house." Xianglin's words flickered faintly, and he looked unwilling to talk in detail.

Shang Yucheng pursed his lips and smiled when he saw this, "With your age, marriage is not long coming, and you are shy in front of me." Is he in Shanghai? ”

Xianglin paused and nodded.

Shang Yucheng said with a smile, "Since you are in Shanghai, you will definitely be able to eat this wedding wine in the future." Since we are also working in other people's homes, there is no reason for separating husband and wife when we get married, although our family has a small door, it is still affordable to hire another person. If you want, come here together and take care of the house for me, and I will give you another sum of money for your marriage, what do you think? ”

Xianglin had a look of embarrassment on his face, and thought for a while, "He has been in this master's house for many years, and he probably refuses. After saying this, he felt that it was inappropriate, so he hurriedly added with a smile, "Thank you, Miss, for your love." ”

Shang Yucheng smiled and nodded, "If you want to follow him, I will naturally not stop you." After a pause, he added, "Since he is in Shanghai, I don't know where he works?" Maybe I do. ”

Xianglin lowered his head, couldn't see her face clearly, and said vaguely, "It's a family surnamed Lin on Xiafei Road." After speaking, he hurriedly got up and added soup to Shang Yucheng's bowl, "Miss, this soup is a failure, drink more." ”

Shang Yucheng smiled and nodded, and did not ask any further.

Early the next morning, Zhao Yilin, the grandmother of the Lu family, asked the girl Feng'er to invite Shang Yucheng over, Shang Yucheng was prepared, changed his clothes early, and immediately got up and followed Feng'er to Lu's house.

Zhao Yilin was directing the servants in the hall to move the furniture, so that he could make room for the dance floor, and when he saw Shang Yucheng enter the door, he hurriedly greeted him with a smile, "Originally, I wanted to call you by myself, but I couldn't leave for a while——"

"Why should my sister-in-law be so polite, let my sister-in-law work so hard for me and Jing Cheng, I really don't want to go." Shang Yucheng was polite, but he also showed a little shyness.

Seeing her like this, Zhao Yilin simply stopped being polite, and pulled her and said, "Although there are many elders here today, but in the end it is the engagement ceremony between you and Jing Cheng, and Mom and Dad mean to please you-" Zhao Yilin said with a smile, "I asked Jing Cheng, and specially invited your favorite Western chef to come, and prepared a lot of exquisite dishes, you can go and see if you are satisfied." ”

"Don't look at it." Shang Yucheng said with a smile, "The sister-in-law must have arranged it very thoroughly." I don't want to paint snakes. ”

"You're going to be lazy." Zhao Yilin said with a smile, "When you get married, I will also ask you to hold a party for me." ”

Shang Yucheng smiled slightly, "I naturally obeyed my sister-in-law's dispatch." ”

Zhao Yilin smiled and turned to look at the busy crowd before turning his head and saying, "I heard Jing Cheng say that you only went to buy jewelry yesterday, and you are too careless." On such an important day, why do you think about jewelry until the end? Can you buy the right one? She smiled and said, "I prepared a set for you, which was originally intended as a gift for your engagement." If you don't buy something you want, you can do it. ”

Shang Yucheng hurriedly smiled and said, "What my sister-in-law said is that I have no experience in these things, but I am not in a hurry to deal with them. Fortunately, Leng just arrived yesterday with a batch of French goods, which can be regarded as a solution to the urgent need. ”

Zhao Yilin didn't care, "That's good." Do you see what else you can add here? ”

Shang Yucheng looked left and right and smiled, "I think it's already very good, and I don't need to add anything." ”

Zhao Yilin said with a smile, "Although I know that you are polite to me, I will only be polite to you, so I will arrange it like this." Let me be lazy too—"

Shang Yucheng shook his head, "It's really good, when will I be polite to you." ”

Zhao Yilin was very useful, so he said, "Since this is the case, you can hurry back and prepare, and leave it to me here." ”

Shang Yucheng didn't want to pay attention to these in his heart, so he said sincerely, "Thank you, sister-in-law, I've worked hard for you-"

"You don't have to be so polite. You don't have to accept my love, naturally someone will receive it. Zhao Yilin smiled and looked behind Shang Yucheng.

Shang Yucheng turned around and saw Lu Jingcheng coming with a smile, "Sister-in-law, Yucheng." ”

Zhao Yilin looked at him, "It is said that people are in good spirits when they are happy, and it is really good." I heard your eldest brother say that last night you played cards in the middle of the night, but today you got up so early. ”

Lu Jingcheng smiled a little embarrassedly, "Big brother and Ye Shen must fight, I have to accompany me." ”

When Shang Yucheng heard this, he just smiled, "Sister-in-law, everything is taken care of, you might as well sleep a little longer, presumably there is no chance to go to bed early tonight." ”

Lu Jingcheng hurriedly said no, salivating and saying, "Sister-in-law is right, people are in good spirits when they are happy, I will never feel tired today." ”

Zhao Yilin looked at Shang Yucheng and covered his mouth and smiled.

Shang Yucheng glanced at Lu Jingcheng, turned his head to Zhao Yilin and said, "Sister-in-law, I'll go back first." ”

Zhao Yilin knew that Shang Yucheng would definitely have to prepare carefully, and he didn't keep her, "Okay, you can go." ”

Shang Yucheng nodded, turned around and left.

Lu Jingcheng originally wanted to talk to Shang Yucheng, but seeing that Shang Yucheng was in a hurry, Zhao Yilin urged him to try on clothes, so he stopped thinking and went back to the room by himself.

Shang Yucheng went home, Xianglin was about to go out to buy vegetables, and when she left, she quietly walked into Xianglin's room.

The small room was neatly packed, and there was not much luggage and belongings. Shang Yucheng glanced at it roughly, then started from the bedside table and looked through it carefully.

After searching for it, there was no gain, and Shang Yucheng's eyes fell on the flat bed. She walked over and picked up the pillow, under which there was only a handkerchief. She picked up the handkerchief and opened it, and inside it was a finely made silver bracelet. Shang Yucheng glanced at it, put it down, and stuffed it under the pillow again.

When her hand touched the bottom of the pillow, she suddenly felt something stiff, and she casually flipped over the pillow and pulled out a photo from the pillowcase.

Seeing the portrait in the photo, Shang Yucheng frowned, and suddenly changed his face.

Hearing the sound of the door, Shang Yucheng quickly stuffed the photo back into the pillowcase, smoothed out the slightly wrinkled sheets three times and twice, and strode out.

Xianglin saw Shang Yucheng sitting on the sofa reading a book, so he poured a cup of tea and put it in Shang Yucheng's hand, turned around and went into the kitchen.

Shang Yucheng turned his head to look at the busy figure in the kitchen, and the fingers on the book unconsciously tapped the pages.

Why is there a photo of Arwen hidden in Xianglin's pillowcase? This obviously shows one thing, Xianglin has a great relationship with Ah Wen, maybe Ah Wen is the marriage partner in Xianglin's mouth. If this is the case, then the relationship between Xianglin and Ye Shen is also obvious.

But what was Ye Shen's purpose in doing this, just to steal that wax pill?

Shang Yucheng bit his lip, frowned and tried to recall, the Luowei Hotel where he dined that day was chosen by Ye Shen, this is the first thing, the dead woman had met Jia Wenxin who also entered the bathroom before him, this is the second.

If your analysis is correct - the person who stole the wax pill is the person who made it in the first place, then this person is Ye Shen. And with Ye Shen's powerful background and endless social relations, why use a small wax pill to pass things, what is he transmitting, and who is he passing it on?

Shang Yucheng seemed to be in a fog, and he didn't know why he was in it.
