Chapter Twenty-Three: Identity Exposed!
As the last rays of the sunset faded, Qin Xi'er waited outside the Li Mansion for almost half an hour.
Seeing that Jiang Kui hadn't come out for a long time, Qin Xi'er had no choice but to give up for the time being, thinking that she would ask him again tomorrow.
was just about to turn around and leave the Li Mansion, but he bumped into Su Changqing and Su Ling, who had just come over.
"His Royal Highness the King of Jin?! Her Royal Highness, Princess?! ”
The three of them obviously didn't expect to meet here, and their faces were incredible.
"Xi'er?! Why are you here? Su Ling asked.
"I, I'm just just hanging out."
Just a little bit of a stroll? Dali Temple is not close to here, and seeing Qin Xi'er's nervous look, it is obvious that something is wrong.
But since she deliberately concealed it, the two didn't ask much, just smiled awkwardly.
"But two highnesses, why are you here?"
Su Ling didn't dare to expose his relationship with Li Yunji in front of Qin Xi'er, and pushed Su Changqing beside him.
"Oh, I have an appointment with Brother Li today, and Ling'er is here with me."
Have an appointment? What appointment to meet on the big night? And with Su Ling? The more Qin Xi'er listened, the more confused she became.
However, he was a thief with a weak heart, and now he was only thinking about how to escape from the scene, and he didn't dare to ask more.
"Ah, since His Highness has an appointment, then I, I won't bother and leave."
"Xi'er!" Su Ling stopped the panicked Qin Xi'er, "Why don't you go in with us?" ”
"Uh, I can't, I still have some important business!"
After that, Qin Xi'er wanted to escape.
"It's all here, just go in and have a look! Brother Changqing is actually fine, let's go back together later! ”
Su Ling said as he pulled Qin Xi'er towards the door of the house.
Qin Xi'er was dragged into the Li Mansion by Su Lingsheng like this.
Hearing movement at the door, Li Yunji, who was busy working in the front yard, knew that Su Changqing was coming, and hurriedly went out to greet him.
"His Royal Highness King Jin! You're here! ”
As soon as the words fell, Li Yunji caught a glimpse of Qin Xi'er, who was pressed in front of him by Su Ling.
"Why are you here?"
"I called! What, you're not welcome?! Su Ling looked arrogant.
Regarding Qin Xi'er's sudden visit, Li Yunji was not prepared at all, and he was a little at a loss for a while.
In the end, it was only under Su Changqing's reminder that Li Yunji received a few people into the room.
In the main hall, a hollow stone table is placed in the center, and there is a jar of wine on the table.
Above the entrance of the cave, there is also an iron pot.
"This is what Brother Li said, hot pot?!" Su Changqing pointed to the iron pot and asked.
Li Yunji nodded proudly.
"Not bad!"
Just as Su Changqing and the others were surprised, Yang Xiaoyu and Mei'er were coming out of the back kitchen with some cut mutton and some vegetables.
When the two saw Qin Xi'er, they were a little surprised, quickly put down the things in their hands, and greeted Qin Xi'er with a little embarrassment.
Su Ling stood behind Qin Xi'er and whispered to the two: "The plan has changed!" ”
Under Li Yunji's arrangement, everyone sat down in an orderly manner.
Qin Xi'er glanced inside the house, but did not see Jiang Kui's figure, and was a little puzzled.
After everyone was seated, Li Yunji began to tinker in the pot.
After a while, bursts of incense came out of the pot.
"Brother Li, this is too fragrant!"
"Two stunned! Where did you learn these things? So unusual?! ”
Li Yunji smiled lightly: "I figured it out myself. ”
After that, he raised his chopsticks and said, "Don't be stunned, open the shabu!" ”
Everyone followed Li Yunji's example, picked up the meat slices and made a hot pot.
Only Qin Xi'er didn't move.
"You eat first, I still have some problems."
Since just now, Qin Xi'er has been sitting on pins and needles, and the idea of escaping has never stopped.
"Since you're here, let's eat a little and then go."
After speaking, everyone turned their heads to look at Li Yunji at the end of the table.
No one expected that this sentence would come out of Li Yunji's mouth.
In an instant, the air in the room seemed to stand still.
"Uh~ Yes, Xi'er, it's all here! It's never too late to eat and go! Su Ling was the first to react.
"That's right, Miss Qin." Su Changqing echoed.
Since even King Jin had spoken, Qin Xi'er couldn't refuse, so she reluctantly sat down.
This sitting is falling into a trap.
Today, the time and place are favorable, and Su Ling's little calculation in his heart is to take the opportunity to get Qin Xi'er drunk and deliberately leave her in Li Yunji's mansion.
Lonely men and widows are in the same room, and the night is dark and windy, and it is inevitable that there will be some sparks!
At the instigation of Su Ling, everyone else at the dinner table except Li Yunji kept pouring wine on Qin Xi'er.
But what Su Ling didn't expect was that Qin Xi'er, who had drunk the wine, was so terrifying...
I saw her step on the stool with her left foot, leaning forward, her blushing cheeks, and squinting at everyone present.
"I'll tell you! Miss Ben was going to catch thieves at the age of twelve, hiccup~ Do you believe it or not?! ”
"Faith!"
"When I was sixteen years old, even the prince's personal guards couldn't beat me, hiccup~ Do you believe it or not?!"
"Faith!"
"When I was twenty years old, I was married to a good-for-nothing fool! Believe it or not?! ”
"Faith!"
"Wait, what did she just say?!" Su Ling's eyes widened.
By the time everyone realized that something was wrong, it was too late, and the letter had already blurted out reflexively.
At this time, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became weird, and everyone looked at Li Yunji in unison, for fear that he would be stimulated by what he had just said.
But Li Yunji's drunken face had a hint of a smile.
Now he looks like a fool with a smile.
Su Changqing also seemed to have drunk too much, and stood up to confront Qin Xi'er: "How can Brother Li be a fool?" Such a knowledgeable person, looking at the capital, who can compare with him?! ”
Qin Xi'er smiled contemptuously, picked up the wine bowl, and drank all the wine in the bowl.
"Erudite? It's just a little clever, compared to his aunt, he is not half a star! ”
"Auntie?!" Everyone said in unison.
"Not bad! He's a worldly master! The Hefu extermination case and the Changning Street bloody corpse case were all solved by my aunt's son! ”
"The profiling technique created by my aunt is unfathomable! With just a few glances, he can see the facts of the case, how can Li Yunji compare with such wisdom? ! ”
When Qin Xi'er said this, the smile on Li Yunji's face became more and more presumptuous, and after that, he simply lay on the table and laughed loudly.
After listening to Qin Xi'er's words, everyone looked at Li Yunji, who had been smirking, and sighed in unison: "Alas..."
originally wanted to match the two, but now Li Yunji was degraded to worthlessness by Qin Xi'er, and everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
"Uncle! I memorized it! ”
When the atmosphere in the room was extremely embarrassing, Jiang Kui appeared with the manuscript that Li Yunji wrote to him.
"Miss?"
Jiang Kui's sudden appearance reminded Qin Xi'er of the purpose of her coming here, and looking at the manuscript in Jiang Kui's hand, Qin Xi'er immediately became serious.
"Bring it!"
Qin Xi'er ordered Jiang Kui in a tone that could not be refused.
Even if he was unwilling, under Qin Xi'er's majesty, Jiang Kui had to hand over the manuscript.
I'm stunned, I'm completely stunned!
Qin Xi'er checked one after another and confirmed it several times.
After confirming that it was true, Qin Xi'er slowly raised her head and tried her best to restrain her emotions.
Even though she already knew the answer, she asked the last trace of doubt.
"Who wrote this to you?!"
Jiang Kui's face was panicked, but the current situation did not allow him to lie.
"Aunt... Uncle. ”
Qin Xi'er, who was extremely surprised, had weak legs and was almost unsteady on her feet.
Su Ling hurriedly stepped forward to help her sit down.
There was a dead silence in the room.
I could only hear Qin Xi'er's muttering.
"Sister-in-law, it's Li Yunji..."
I don't know how long it took, until the fire in the furnace had burned out.
Under a strange atmosphere, Qin Xi'er slowly raised her head.
"You're the Sanqi Daoist?"
"It's me."
"You?"
"It's me, too."
"Sister-in-law... Are you too? ”
"Looks like it should be."
Qin Xi'er was a little distracted.
"Li Yunji, what else do you have?!"
"Li Gongzi, or the boss of Liuxian Pavilion..."Yang Xiaoyu on the side took over, "The skewers are from Li Gongzi's hand..."
Qin Xi'er was stunned for a moment, and then her expression became relieved.
So far, no matter what happens to Li Yunji, it doesn't seem surprising.
Qin Xi'er smiled lightly, then slowly got up and walked out of the door in despair.
Sitting on the stone steps in front of the main hall, a person hugged his head and cried.
As soon as Su Ling wanted to get up and chase out to comfort him, he was stopped by Su Changqing beside him.
"What she needs now is to be alone and quiet."
Although Su Ling was distressed, Su Changqing did have some truth in what he said.
"It's good to figure it out, in fact, I was like this at the beginning..."
As soon as the words fell, Li Yunji stood up and walked out the door.
Su Linggang wanted to stop it, but was stopped by Su Changqing again.
"Brother Li can go."
Su Ling looked puzzled, but the rest of the people all had an expression of agreement, so Su Ling had no choice but to give up.
Li Yunji sat half a meter to the left of Qin Xi'er, the moonlight and the lights in the room intertwined the shadows of the two, and from a certain angle, it looked particularly sweet.
"Actually, it's all some misunderstandings, just say it." Li Yunji opened his mouth first.
"Misunderstanding... It's always been me who misunderstood you, you helped me so much, and I will take revenge..."
Qin Xi'er was still sobbing uncontrollably.
"Actually, I know that you didn't mean it, but there are some things, it's not easy to explain, so..."
"I'm sorry..."
Qin Xi'er interrupted Li Yunji's words with a right sentence, and also interrupted the thoughts of everyone in the room.
"Uncle is wonderful, even the young lady can bow his head and admit his mistakes."
"Sometimes, this stunned guy looks quite pleasing to the eye!"
"It's worthy of Brother Li!"
"If Gongzi Li doesn't dislike it, I'm willing to marry him as a concubine!"
As soon as Mei'er finished speaking, everyone scoffed.
"Why do you think about this nonsense, can the second stunned person take a fancy to you?!"
…
When everyone was happy about the reconciliation between the two, Yang Xiaoyu looked at the two on the steps, with a hint of loneliness in his eyes...
"Xiaoyu, what's wrong with you?" Mei'er noticed her abnormality.
Yang Xiaoyu hurriedly put on a smiling face and explained in a slightly panicked manner: "I, I'm happy for Li Gongzi!" Here, let's toast to both of them! ”
With that, Yang Xiaoyu raised his wine glass.
"Cheers!"
The quiet outside of the house seemed incompatible with the cheerful atmosphere inside.
In the dim moonlight, there seemed to be an inconspicuous smile on both of their faces......
