Chapter 58: Defection
Su Linglong was really annoyed by Ye Yuxian's blind eyes, but before she could complain to Lu Xiuyun, Fang Fei had already quickly pulled him to the private room of the previous banquet, and said with great interest: "Cousin Lu didn't notify me in advance when he came to Los Angeles, so I didn't prepare at all, it's really rude!" In this way, I asked someone to make another of my newly developed dim sum and send it to my cousin and Sister Su to taste it together. ”
Lu Xiuyun found that the Fang Fei cousin in front of him seemed to be completely different from what Su Linglong introduced to him.
She was lively, cheerful, innocent, and most dazzling not her beauty, but the brilliance that burst out of her eyes.
If her beauty makes her born as crystal as a pearl, then this rare brilliance from the inside out makes her exude a stunning temperament and a desire to be close.
Moreover, compared to the slightly uncomfortable restlessness when facing Su Linglong before, sitting beside her at this time, listening to her explain the origin of this snack, he only felt full of joy, and even time became faster.
Soon, the shopkeeper brought a new ice cheese. But the difference this time is that in addition to all kinds of flowers and fruits, Fang Fei also specially asked people to make a golden fish charm with golden cheese.
According to the official system of the Dasheng Dynasty, this is an official talisman that can only be worn by princes and high-ranking officials above the second rank, and when it is placed in front of Lu Xiuyun at this time, its meaning is self-evident.
Lu Xiuyun looked at this lifelike fish talisman, and the feeling in his heart could be called shock. At this time, he couldn't care about Su Linglong, who was sitting beside him, with a blue face, but raised the teacup happily and unexpectedly, and said to Fang Fei: "Thank you, cousin!" My cousin Hui Zhilanxin really touched my heart. ”
Fang Fei's bright eyes swept over Su Linglong, and she was very satisfied with her anger at this moment.
"Where, my cousin said so, but he regarded me as an outsider. I hope that your official fortune will be prosperous, and you can take care of me for a point or two when the time comes. By the way, Sister Su, the flowers made of cheese on this ice surface are all peonies, last time I heard that you were born in May, and it happened to be the god of peony flowers, so specially-"
It's the peony flower god again! Bring it up again! Isn't it enough for this slut to think that the old lady was ugly last time?
- Su Linglong secretly clenched her silver teeth, and only hated that she couldn't tear her face on the spot, but after all, she didn't dare to make a mistake in front of Lu Xiuyun, so she had to smile reluctantly: "It's beautiful, it's hard for you to bother with your sister." ”
Shen'er stood beside Su Linglong, pouring tea and water for her, and quickly exchanged glances with Fang Fei.
She lowered her head and smiled secretly, she couldn't help but say in her heart, it seems that she is following the right master this time.
If you talk about the material in the belly, who can compare to this little lady?
The three of them talked for a while in the Yuelai Teahouse, and during the banquet, Lu Xiuyun naturally put forward his own ideas, but for the sake of this cousin being so delicate and sensible, he tried to be extremely tactful.
After hearing this, Fang Fei didn't have the slightest intention of doing things, and didn't even mention anything about the past in her childhood, only sighed, and said: "What my cousin said is very true, we are children, and we should put filial piety in the first place." It's just that you don't know, now my second aunt and third cousin are involved in a murder case, and the state government has not yet heard the case. I have been nurtured by my grandmother and several uncles and uncles for ten years, and it would be a shame to leave them behind at this time and return to Beijing to fulfill my filial piety. Cousin, please forgive me for my difficulties. ”
Lu Xiuyun didn't know anything about this, and was immediately taken aback and asked, "How can this be?" ”
Fang Fei gave a general explanation of the origin of the case, and after listening to it, Lu Xiuyun also felt that there must be something strange in it, and even volunteered: "How can this be true!" The people under the prefect of Ye decided the case too arbitrarily! Your second aunt and cousin are just delicate women raised in the inner courtyard of a deep house, how can they run to someone's house and kill someone on a whim? Don't worry, I will personally go to the yamen of the state capital later, if they are really wronged, I will let Governor Ye release people as soon as possible! ”
When Fang Fei heard this, she looked at him with an angry and righteous expression, and almost didn't smile in her heart. But there was a pitiful and grateful expression on his face, and he made a tearful look that Su Linglong was best at before: "Cousin, thank you so much!" You don't know, in fact, the little ladies I invited before are the daughters of several adults who hold important positions in the yamen of the state capital. The reason why I flattered them and said all the good things in front of them was that they could speak a half-sentence of justice for my aunt in front of their own father......"
Lu Xiuyun suddenly realized that at first, the shadow left in his heart because of the hot eyes of those little ladies had turned into endless pity and distress for Fang Fei.
"Hey, it's really hard for you, these young ladies, I know at a glance that they are not easy to get along with. Cousin, don't worry, you are so kind and filial, God will definitely bless you and your uncle and aunt. I will definitely investigate this case to the end! ”
After receiving his promise, Fang Fei's eyes immediately burst into tears and she was grateful. And Su Linglong on the side almost turned her back on her anger, she just hated to go away with her sleeves!
With her network in Los Angeles, she naturally knew about the Yin Mansion's case as early as the road. However, she was happy to see this, and she never revealed half a word to Lu Xiuyun.
Originally, she wanted to try to urge Governor Ye to convict this morning, but she didn't expect that this Song Fangfei took the lead and pulled Lu Xiuyun in to become her helper!
What the hell is going on? Why is this girl's temperament and handling things very different from her previous life? Isn't she very proud and conceited? Could it be that she knows something?
When going downstairs, Su Linglong tried her best to pretend to be calm and gentle. In fact, when she watched Lu Xiuyun take good care of Fang Fei and frequently showed appreciative eyes, she had secretly pinched out deep nail marks on both hands!
When he arrived at the door, Lu Xiuyun naturally said to Su Linglong: "Cousin Linglong, I'll go to the state capital yamen with Fang Fei." Since you are not a family member of the party, then go back to the inn to rest first! ”
Su Linglong was a little overwhelmed when she heard this: "Brother Xiuyun, I ...... it"
Fang Fei saw Su Linglong's reluctance, and hurriedly smiled: "Since Sister Su came out with her cousin, I don't feel at ease when I go back alone at this time." Otherwise, let's go together, we are not outsiders anyway. ”
Lu Xiuyun is not stupid, so he can naturally see that Su Linglong is stingy at this time, and compared with her, she is more generous.
He unconsciously felt a little disgusted with this cousin who had always been close, but he still smiled and said: "It's me who can't think about it, cousin Linglong, you and Fang Fei will ride in the carriage together, and I will ride a horse." ”
