Chapter Twenty-Nine: Xiao Chen Arrives

In the past three years, although she has been in the Grange, she thought that she could not rely on her family to eat public high school alone, so she used the private money accumulated by the original owner for many years to open a small restaurant in the city and named it Fireworks Kitchen.

At the beginning, Lin Shuran only thought about silently earning a few private silver, but he didn't think that the fragrance of wine was not afraid of deep alleys, and the fireworks chef on the back street gradually became famous in the capital because of his main roast chicken sauce and meat, and now it has become one of the three major restaurants in the capital.

When the fireworks kitchen first became popular, there were many people secretly fighting its idea, and they all wanted to know who its owner was, but then it was gone, Lin Shuran knew in her heart that this was her ancient father Lin Youxing who contributed behind the scenes, and with the Taifu as a backer, no one dared to easily make trouble for the restaurant.

As long as the portrait is handed over to the big shopkeeper of the fireworks kitchen, he has his own way to help Lin Shuran find someone.

Sure enough, by the next day, the shopkeeper of the fireworks kitchen helped Lin Shuran find out the news, but he never thought that the little tiger in Xu Minghao's mouth would now be in the prison of the Criminal Department.

"Miss, the big shopkeeper said that he found out from a jailer in the prison of the Criminal Department who often went to the small kitchen to eat, and said that this little tiger may be related to the murder of an official of the Ministry of Justice, and he is an important prisoner caught by the Criminal Department." Chunxi relayed the words of the big shopkeeper to Lin Shuran.

How does it have to do with a murder? Lin Shuran was puzzled, according to Xu Minghao, this little tiger was the same age as him, he had been begging for food in the capital for several years, and he was usually very timid and always bullied.

Although he already knew the whereabouts of Xiaohuzi, but the specific situation was still not clear, Lin Shuran thought about finding out and then talking to Xu Minghao, who would have thought that when it was close to noon, Xiao Chen, the current servant of the Criminal Department, came to the door to ask to see.

"Miss, the general sent a message in the front yard, saying that Lord Xiao, the waiter of the Criminal Department, has official business and wants to ask you, do you see it?" Mama Zhang asked a little carefully, she is an old man of the Lin family, so she naturally knows that Lin Shuran and Xiao Chen have known each other since childhood, if Xiao Chen hadn't married the young lady of the Da Sima family, her young lady might have become Mrs. Xiao.

As soon as he knew that Xiaohuzi was in the prison of the Criminal Department, Xiao Chen, the servant of the Criminal Department, came to the door, Lin Shuran was not afraid to see Xiao Chen, even if the two of them could not become husband and wife, they could still be regarded as friends.

So she came to the hospitality hall in the front yard, and when she walked in, Xu Junze and Xiao Chen were sitting there as a host and a guest, and the two of them were quietly sipping tea, and no one spoke.

Counting, she and Xiao Chen haven't seen each other for more than a year, she is not the original owner, she only has memories of Xiao Chen in her mind, but she has no feelings.

But Xiao Chen was different, when he noticed Lin Shuran coming in, his body tensed up unnaturally, and he couldn't help but turn his head to look at her, with complicated emotions in his eyes, and his affection was difficult to hide.

"I've seen Lord Xiao!" It was difficult for Lin Shuran to ignore Xiao Chen's fiery gaze at her, but she still saluted in a regular manner.

Today's Xiao Chen is dressed in an official uniform, which sets off his already slender and upright figure more majestic and heroic, and his face is as cold as usual, giving people a feeling that it is difficult to approach.

Lin Shuran's "Lord Xiao" seemed to deliberately widen the distance between the two, which made Xiao Chen very sad, in fact, since her friend Gu Jingcheng died three years ago, Lin Shuran looked at everyone with a strange and distant gaze, just like her heart and soul followed Gu Jingcheng away.

His love for her is no less than Gu Jingcheng's love for her, but since she was a child, she only had Gu Jingcheng in her eyes, she thought that he had a chance after his friend died, but this opportunity was buried by his own hands, a year ago he was designed by the Su family to marry Su Wanwan as his wife, and now Lin Shuran has also become someone else's wife.

He regretted it, he regretted it very much, even at this moment he wanted Larin to leave comfortably, telling her that he only loved her in his life, but reason made him calm and forbear, telling him that he couldn't do that.

"Are you blaming me for being so polite to me now?" But Xiao Chen still stood up slowly, took a step closer to Lin Shuran, and his eyes were fixed on her.

Xiao Chen's words caused Xu Junze to frown, he had never deliberately inquired about Lin Shuran, but he also knew that Lin Xiao and the three families were world friends, as the eldest grandson of the Xiao family, it was not unusual for Xiao Chen and Lin Shuran to know each other.

Xu Junze didn't care about Xiao Chen's affectionate look at his new wife, but also glanced at Lin Shuran intently, but saw her walk past Xiao Chen in front of him, and then sat down on the main chair that symbolized the hostess, and said calmly to Xiao Chen: "What is Lord Xiao talking about, the next person told me that the servant of the Criminal Department has official business to see me, I know that Lord Xiao has always been clear about public and private, and he is strict in handling things, but I don't dare to break your rules." ”

Lin Shuran's words made people find out unreasonable, but Xiao Chen understood in his heart that she was more and more separated from herself, and glanced at Xu Junze, who was sitting without saying a word, Xiao Chen turned around and sat down again.

It is true that he came to the General's Mansion today for official business, but he also wanted to meet her for official reasons, and they hadn't spoken for a year.

"I don't know, what is Lord Xiao looking for my wife?" Xu Junze asked lightly, but Xiao Chen and Lin Shuran both looked at him slightly after hearing it, the four words "my wife" were obviously normal for Xu Junze to say, but Xiao Chen felt bitter in his heart when he heard it, Lin Shuran felt a little surprised, as if this was not what Xu Junze would say.

Xiao Chen restrained his mind for a moment, and then looked at Xu Junze in a solemn tone and replied: "This official came to the door today for the death of Luo Wenxuan's young daughter in the Ministry of Officials, and came to ask Sister Shu Ran about the situation!" ”

Xiao Chen deliberately said the words "Sister Shu Ran" intimately and naturally, as if this could offset the impact of Xu Junze's words "My Wife" on him.

"Since it's a business matter, Lord Xiao still calls me Mrs. Xu as good, bad rules are not Lord Xiao's style!" Xu Junze's words gave people an invisible coercion, if others were in front of him, they might be afraid, but Xiao Chen was also a person who had traveled in the sea of blood in the sword mountain, and he did not lose his momentum in front of Xu Junze.

Therefore, he glanced at Lin Shuran with gentle eyes, and then turned to Xu Junze and said: "I have known Sister Shuran since childhood, and the relationship is incomparable to others, and for me, she is never within the rules." ”

"I didn't expect Lord Xiao to be so temperamental, but Lord Xiao needs to be cautious in the future, after all, you already have a family, don't make trouble for others at will, there should still be rules!" The last sentence Xu Junze obviously aggravated his tone, and he meant something.
