Chapter Twenty-Eight: Shameless
Yuan Chuyao thought, anyway, he had forgotten it for so long, and it would be nothing to forget it for a while: "What has my brother been busy with lately, why don't you even know how to eat." β
Xu is heart-to-heart with Yuan Jingchen, and there is less awkward bickering when they get along, if they want to ask something, they can ask naturally, and there is no abrupt feeling at all, maybe this is one of the rules that Wen Su said - step by step.
Yuan Jingchen straightened out the things on the bookcase and hesitated slightly.
"But you can't say it? Yuan Chuyao said very brightly.
Yuan Jingchen put a stack of materials in place, shook his head and smiled: "It's not that I can't say it, I'm afraid it will scare you, Xuanpinghou's eldest son Li Qian was assassinated on the street yesterday, and it is already known to everyone, and it is not something that needs to be hidden." β
Yuan Chuyao's eyes widened slightly, as if he only knew about it, and asked in surprise: "Can you find the murderer?" Why are you so desperate, dare to assassinate on the street." β
If retreat is effective, then she can ask directly, too tactful will appear deliberate, it is better to show her curiosity calmly.
Yuan Jingchen didn't realize that his sister tried the little sister's trick taught her on him, and shook his head defenselessly: "I haven't found it yet, but the suspect is there, but it shouldn't be." β
Seeing that her sister's eyes were bright and unprecedentedly smart, she seemed to like listening to things outside, so she decided to put King Sheng aside for the time being.
"Isn't it?how are you sure?" Yuan Chuyao's clear eyes blinked lightly, and his gaze fell on Yuan Jingchen with confusion, full of curiosity.
Yuan Jingchen had no resistance: "The day before Li Qian's accident, he and King Lian Jun fought for a horse in the horse farm, but who would send someone to assassinate someone on the street for a horse, and the murderer still disguised himself as a resident of the imperial capital to assassinate the veteran, once it was found that the two were related, the price would be too great." β
So the possibility that the murderer is King Lianjun is too low, but unfortunately the murderer is dead, King Sheng asked him to check who else was in the racecourse on the day King Lianjun and Li Qian fought, and who Li Qian had contact with a few days ago.
Rising to assassination, it is by no means a simple personal vendetta.
Yuan Chuyao didn't continue to ask any more, picked up the book he had just taken on the table, and reminded him with a smile: "I can't help you if I ask, or don't leave the people who need it aside, it's good to entertain." β
If she continued to ask, it was too detailed, and she couldn't find the main line from the many thin lines, so she might as well take the initiative to drop the topic.
Anyway, in terms of her current ability, clichΓ©s are not the main task, she gives her goal of reaching out to others, and cluttering some words is imperceptible.
Yuan Jingchen, as an elder brother, is not very wary of her, so he can ask things so quickly.
Slowly experimenting with her family, but it allows her to grow up gradually, at present, she has not many contacts, and there are too few places where she can experiment with various careful tricks, not only her family, but she also plans to start with them.
Whatever it is, practice makes perfect.
Maybe one day, there will be times when her little scheming hits a wall, but what's the matter, people are alive, and there is nothing wrong with being a little scheming.
After being reminded by her, Yuan Jingchen also smiled heartily: "I don't know how His Highness will bury me later." β
As he spoke, he folded up the packed things and put them into small wooden boxes, and then put the boxes into the cabinets and locked them.
Yuan Chuyao's eyes moved with his brother's movements, and before he turned around, he retracted his eyes, thinking thoughtfully: It seems that on weekdays, I should also put my things in order, otherwise it will be very troublesome to find them in the future, and those things are not very suitable for people to see.
It seems that it is necessary to buy some locks back.
"I'll go first, you have to choose what you want. Yuan Jingchen waved his hand, and removed it without looking back, extremely relieved.
Yuan Chuyao replied "yes", and carefully selected without hurry, Yuan Jingchen has been busy recently, and the study can come in However, she is at most to send food, so she still picks a few more.
It's impossible to pick casually, in case she picks the Buddhist scriptures, it's her turn to complain.
Her father's study was still a little afraid to enter, so she had to slow down for a while, give herself courage, and then mention the matter of attacking her father's study.
Yuan Jingchen came out of the study, turned a corner, and when he came to An Jingtang, he found that there was already a pile of scraps left on the table.
β......β
Zhu Yi'an saw that he was finally here, followed his gaze and fell on the table, and smiled without any guilt: "This king uses it almost the same, if you dislike it, then continue to wait, I will go to rest first, and then go to the racecourse to see the situation together." β
It's not that he wants to be nosy, someone deliberately chose to commit crimes in the city, and the target of the selection is still nobles, quite a kind of deliberately making a big fuss, he has a conjecture and didn't tell Yuan Jingchen, this idea is ridiculous, maybe the people behind the scenes, not only can't get along with Li, but also deliberately find trouble for Yuan Jingchen.
Maybe it's a holiday target, or to divert Yuan Jingchen's attention.
If it's the first one, it's okay, but the second one shows that the people behind the scenes have other premeditated plans in private, or they still have to do it at the expense of important chess pieces.
No matter which one it is, Yuan Jingchen will not go smoothly to the racecourse, it is better to add him, one more person, one more pair of eyes.
Yuan Jingchen didn't dislike it, he was worried about finishing things early, coming back to tell Yao'er the reason, making her happy, picking up the chopsticks and planning to deal with a few bites casually, and remembering Yao'er's warning, let him eat well, he couldn't help but slow down the chopsticks.
After Zhu Yi'an finished speaking, he found that Yuan Jingchen had no reaction, thinking that Yuan Chuyao should be gone, so he went to the study again.
When he walked in, he heard the sound of squirming, and he wanted to turn his head and leave, so as not to make Yuan Jingchen's dog think that he coveted Yuan Chuyao.
As a result, her eyes were quicker than her mind, and she took a step forward to the source of the sound, and saw that she was standing on tiptoe, reaching for a heavy book.
Zhu Yi'an still walked over......
Yuan Chuyao stretched out his hand with difficulty, feeling that he was just a little bit away from the book, and there was no need to use any stool.
Just when she didn't hold her breath and wanted to jump up and let go, a slender and white hand like a jade bamboo pulled out the book first, and then ...... Put it on a higher level.
Yuan Chuyao half-opened her red mouth, stared blankly for a while, and then turned her upper body slightly, and looked at Zhu Yi'an's good-looking chin in shock, this person is really shameless, just after doing such a bad thing, he can still hang his head, and he laughs at her lightly.
Good...... It's shameless.
The little girl's watery eyes are like jade dew, you can look to the end at a glance, her stunned appearance, does not damage her beautiful face at all, but adds more agility, she is sideways, the hem of the two of them touches together, if someone passes by, it is estimated that the two will snuggle together.
Zhu Yi'an's eyes trembled, and his heart ...... Missed a beat.
