Chapter 54, Bai Yueyue and Xiao Chuchu
"What's wrong?"
After Shen Yuan took a sip of tea, he realized that the atmosphere in the room seemed to be quite wrong.
He glanced at Bai Qiurui, who had a complicated expression and slightly frowning eyebrows, and vaguely saw that the little girl seemed to have a trace of sadness in her eyes.
Shen Yuan immediately turned his gaze to Gu Yi, and his eyes were clearly asking him what had happened during the time he had been away.
Gu Yi's reaction was very fast, he put on a relaxed and casual appearance again, and waved his hand at Shen Yuan.
"Don't worry, it's not like you don't know what happened to the White Girl here last time."
Gu Yi didn't say it explicitly, but this sentence was just right.
Shen Yuan never thought that Bai Qiurui and Gu Yi would discuss something about his father when he left.
Seeing that the little woman at the table pretended to be calm and disguised her expression with a little panic, Shen Yuan really thought that she remembered what had happened in this temple before.
"Don't be afraid, there won't be any more danger this time."
Shen Yuan looked at Bai Qiurui and said comfortingly, and his tone was very soft, not like his usual cold state.
Gu Yi also followed Shen Yuan and spoke: "That's it, stop thinking nonsense." I don't want to see who we're coming with this time, Lord Shangshu of the dignified Criminal Department is here. ”
Glancing at Shen Yuan with a smile, Gu Yi continued: "If there are still people plotting against him, wouldn't this just add to Lord Shen's case-handling merits." ”
Is this all about improving performance......
Bai Qiurui thought about it, and couldn't help but chuckle, and the uncomfortable mood in her heart was much better.
Shen Yuan ignored Gu Yi's ridicule, and seeing that the little woman's mood was better, he began to talk about his own arrangements.
When Bai Qiurui heard his plan, he learned that this time, they wanted to find out the clues of the mountain behind Nanyue Temple, plus to find out the identity of the host of Nanyue Temple.
The last time she came, even with Princess Ning's light, Bai Qiurui had never seen the host of Nanyue Temple.
And Shen Yuan said that among the people who came to investigate before, one person had seen the host of Nanyue Temple, and found that the identity of the other party was not simple.
It seems to be using Nanyue Temple as a cover-up.,But it's doing something quietly in private.。
"They saw the monks moving neatly and rigorously, carrying things covered with black cloth into the back mountain."
The three people in the room were talking, when they suddenly heard the cracking of a porcelain bowl outside the door, and the exclamation of a woman.
Bai Qiurui subconsciously looked at the door, and saw two figures faintly outside the door, followed by the voice of a monk.
"Amitabha, the poor monk has collided with the girl, please forgive the girl."
It seemed that the monk accidentally bumped into a woman, but Bai Qiurui felt that the woman's cry was very familiar.
She thought of Bai Yueyue for the first time, but it didn't look like her when she heard it carefully.
At this moment, I only heard the woman outside say something to the monk, and then a faint footstep went away.
And Bai Qiurui grabbed the last voice of the woman to speak, and she also successfully found the right person to sit in her mind.
Xiao Chuchu.
What day is today, even if you meet Bai Yueyue in Nanyue Temple, how can Xiao Chuchu come over at about the same time.
This doesn't seem like a coincidence.
Bai Qiurui always felt that the two of them had some ulterior secrets, and she couldn't hold back at the moment and wanted to follow up to take a look.
"Lord Shen, Gu Gongzi, you sit here first, and I'll go out and have a look."
Gu Yi asked, "The one outside the door, is it your sister?" ”
Although Fang Cai's movement was not loud, the three people in the room heard it.
"It's not."
Shen Yuan opened his mouth lightly, his expression calm: "Listening to the voice, it seems to be your other sister." ”
Bai Qiurui cast an admiring gaze at Shen Yuan's good ears, if she hadn't met Xiao Chuchu and lived together, she would never have been able to distinguish the identity of the other party just based on those vague words just now.
"Well, what the adults said is right, it's Xiao Chuchu."
Bai Qiurui gave a conclusion, and then she immediately got up, said hello to the two, and quietly opened the door and walked out.
There was no monk outside the door, and Bai Qiurui chased after him in the direction where Xiao Chuchu left.
She subconsciously felt that Bai Yueyue and Xiao Chuchu must have something private to do when they came here.
Moreover, as far as the two of them are concerned, what they are doing is definitely not a good thing.
Anyway, it's coming, and if you don't follow it, it's really unreasonable.
Bai Qiurui thought as she walked forward.
When she walked for a few minutes, she saw Xiao Chuchu's familiar figure around a corner.
The other party is wearing a red skirt today, and she is standing in front of the door of a side room at the moment, and opposite her is also an acquaintance, Bai Yueyue.
Bai Qiurui hid in the corner, saw that the two of them said a simple word, and then entered the room together, she waited for a while, and then quietly leaned over.
"What should I do now, Bai Qiurui and Xiao Mingyu are back in good shape."
As soon as Bai Qiurui, who was outside the door, bent down and stuck to the door, he heard Bai Yueyue in the room speak first.
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Chuchu spoke: "The idea was from my sister, and there is no way to find me now." ”
Bai Yueyue was a little anxious: "It's useless to say these things now, the two of them want to see me, how to solve it?" ”
"My sister can solve it as she wants, and if she wants to never suffer from future troubles, it's not impossible." Xiao Chuchu replied.
Bai Qiurui, who was outside the door, was very puzzled when she heard such a sentence that had no beginning or end.
How can you listen to Bai Yueyue and Xiao Chuchu's words, it seems that they have also arranged someone who wants to be unfavorable to themselves and Xiao Mingyu?
"Here that day, Bai Qiurui's fox girl had obviously taken the bait, but it was all ruined by Shen Yuan's sudden appearance. Also, Bai Qiurui said that he had arrested people and put them in the prison of the Criminal Department, so now that they came out safely, would they have confessed to us? ”
Bai Yueyue's words made Bai Qiurui, who was eavesdropping outside the door, fall into a fog.
Weren't the two evil monks who arrested her and Xiao Mingyu that day sent by Princess Ning?
Why is it that listening to Bai Yueyue's words now, those two people seem to have been arranged by her?
Also, Bai Yueyue said that those two people wanted to see her, which was simply impossible.
Bai Qiurui is now almost certain that the evil monk who intends to mistreat her and Xiao Mingyu is now staying in the prison of the Criminal Department.
At this moment, there was no movement in the wing, and it seemed that Bai Yueyue and Xiao Chuchu had fallen silent.
Bai Qiurui was about to continue listening, but her shoulder was cold and was put on by a hand.
Her hair stood on end, and she couldn't control the danger she had encountered in this temple that day, and she subconsciously wanted to scream.
And the next second, her mouth was covered, and a broad body came up behind her.
A familiar aura surrounded Bai Qiurui's body, cold, indifferent, and with a hint of refreshing fragrance.
In an instant, Bai Qiurui relaxed.
The hand covering her mouth seemed to sense her reaction and silently let go of her.
Bai Qiurui turned her head, and sure enough, she saw someone who came, it was Shen Yuan.
The other party's dark eyes glanced at her, as if he did not approve of her coming here to eavesdrop, and with some helplessness.
Bai Qiurui blinked, stretched out her finger and pointed to the room for Shen Yuan to listen to it too.
Unbeknownst to her, as soon as she stretched out her hand, Shen Yuan's bony palm directly grabbed her wrist and dragged her away without saying anything.
Bai Qiurui was caught off guard, and ran away with Shen Yuan with a fluttering body.
She frowned, and naturally wanted to resist, but Shen Yuan, who was holding her hand, was very strong, and she didn't have a chance to resist at all.
Quietly pushing open the door of a side room next to him, Shen Yuan directly pulled Bai Qiurui in, and closed the door lightly and flexibly by the way.
Before Bai Qiurui could react, she saw Shen Yuan make a silent gesture towards her.
"Someone's coming."
Shen Yuan and Bai Qiurui were sticking to the door, and Bai Qiurui's ears heard Shen Yuan say such a sentence in a barely audible voice.
As soon as he finished speaking, two figures appeared from their door.
Bai Qiurui looked up, she couldn't see the appearance of the two of them clearly, she could only vaguely see that it was two men, wearing black clothes.
Immediately afterwards, they only heard the sound of the door opening next to them, and the two entered Bai Yueyue and Xiao Chuchu's room.
Only then did Bai Qiurui know that Shen Yuan didn't want her to go back, but helped her escape in time.
Those two people must be the people Bai Yueyue said she wanted to see her.
It's just that Bai Qiurui glanced at it in a hurry just now, and those two were definitely not the evil monks who were caught by Shen Yuan.
She originally thought about whether it could be that Shen Yuan deliberately released the two evil monks, wanting to lure them to take the initiative to find the people behind the scenes, and to try to capture them.
But looking at it now, it doesn't seem to be the case.
Those two people, whether in terms of body shape, walking pace, or movements, were far taller and stronger than the two evil monks who grabbed themselves and Xiao Mingyu.
Bai Qiurui and Shen Yuan glanced at each other, and the two walked to the side wall next to Bai Yueyue's wing room without a trace.
I only heard Bai Yueyue say in disbelief in the wing room opposite: "What did you say?" Did you catch Bai Qiurui? ”
"Yes, yes, now the person is in our hands, Miss, look at the rest of the silver......"
In Bai Yueyue's room, Xiao Chuchu also looked incredulous.
She looked at the two men in front of her who nodded and bowed, and said suspiciously: "How many days have you been arresting her?" ”
"It's been seven days."
In front of Xiao Chuchu was a tall, oily-headed man. He was flanked by a slightly shorter, but equally stout, man.
When Bai Yueyue heard the tall and strong man's words, she almost laughed angrily: "Are you two together to be me?" Someone wants to take the remaining half of the money from me before they catch it?! ”
It's really talking nonsense with their eyes open, if Bai Qiurui's fox has been arrested by them for seven days, then the Bai Qiurui they saw the next day after returning home from Nanyue Temple is a ghost?
"No, no...... How dare we deceive the eldest lady, we really caught her and brought her personal belongings over. ”
The two men said seriously, Xiao Chuchu and Bai Yueyue looked inexplicable.
In addition to the two of them, there is also Bai Qiurui, who is eavesdropping next door, who is listening with relish and 'caught' herself.
She also wanted to know how those two men could seriously say that they had been arrested by them, just listening to the corner of the wall here.
Is it really a lie that doesn't even blink an eyelid?
The man next door said, "Look, eldest lady, this is the jade pendant she wears on her waist." ”
Bai Qiurui looked at herself dressed as a handsome boy, and reached out to grab a white jade ring from her waist that the little girl hung for her when she changed clothes.
The man next door said again: "Miss, look again, this is the exquisite gold and jade bracelet she wears on her hand." ”
Bai Qiurui stretched out her hands in confusion, and on the white wrist of her right hand, she only wore a thin bracelet with silver threads and pearls.
The man next door continued: "Miss, look at it one last time, this is the most intimate longevity golden lock in her arms!" ”
Bai Qiurui: "......"
The inexplicable Bai Qiurui didn't take out the golden lock of longevity from his arms, but found a neat stack of handkerchiefs.
The handkerchief was embroidered with emerald bamboo, white interspersed with emerald green, with the crisp breath of someone who belonged alone.
It was the Fang Jinpa that Shen Yuan handed to Bai Qiurui last time.
When she took out the handkerchief, Bai Qiurui immediately put it into her arms again, and Shen Yuan was standing beside her now.
She subconsciously glanced up at the man in front of her, and saw that the other party seemed to be listening intently to the movement next door.
Bai Qiurui breathed a sigh of relief, she withdrew her gaze, and listened intently to the conversation.
It's just that what she didn't know was that the moment she looked away, Shen Yuan's gaze fell on her without warning.
The man curled the corners of his lips and smiled lightly, and the bright smile in his eyes showed that he had seen the Fang Jinpa.
Bai Qiurui didn't care, she was listening to the conversation next door intently at the moment.
At the same time, she was still thinking that those two people had caught the wrong person.
Not to mention anything else, it's just the close-fitting long-lived golden lock, where can she be worn by a concubine.
Sure enough, I only heard that Bai Yueyue and Xiao Chuchu next door were also a little unable to react.
Xiao Chuchu asked again: "Did you really arrest her?" ”
Receiving affirmative answers from the two men, she took the golden lock of longevity from the tall man's hand.
The style of this golden lock looks like it is worn by her daughter's family, but how can Bai Qiurui ever wear a longevity lock?
Bai Yueyue couldn't be clearer, she knew that Bai Qiurui's fox didn't have a longevity lock, and she was also curious about this lock now.
I saw her step forward to observe the golden lock in Xiao Chuchu's hand, and suddenly her sharp eyes found that there were two small words engraved in the inconspicuous place of the lock.
"Look, there's two little print."
Xiao Chuchu passed Bai Yueyue's guidance and also saw the words on the lock.
She began to recognize it carefully: "It seems to be Ming...... Pearl? ”
When Bai Qiurui, who was eavesdropping next door, saw Xiao Chuchu read out the words on the golden lock, Shen Yuan's expression changed suddenly.
She tried hard to recall the plot in the original book, and found that from the beginning to the finale, the word Mingzhu was not mentioned.
Seeing Shen Yuan's expression constantly changing, she silently asked, "What's wrong?" ”
The man's face began to slowly become ugly, and he said softly: "Mingzhu is the name of Wei Yingshu, the eldest lady of the Hou Mansion in Zhenbei. ”
