Chapter 1103: The Mystery of the Letter
"Brother Yun, you ...... What's wrong?" or Du Juan knew Sun Yun better, looking at Sun Yun's solemn expression, Bacheng couldn't help but ask in a concerned tone.
"Juan'er, let me ask you something......" Sun Yun took the letter and said with the topic.
"What's the matter?" the cuckoo's expression froze, revealing a slightly nervous gaze.
"That time, I took you to Qingmo Villa, and you and the people in the villa ...... Are you all familiar?" Sun Yun asked solemnly.
"Huh?" However, in Du Juan's ears, this question was a bit abrupt, and he didn't understand why Sun Yun could ask such a question, and after hesitating for a while, he replied intermittently, "It's still ...... It's okay, the main one...... It's always Brother Dong Yu who entertains me, and the others ...... Not very familiar ......"
"Then do you know the handwriting of Master Fang Zhuang?" asked Sun Yun as he picked up the letter slightly and placed it in front of the cuckoo.
"Handwriting, what is this asking......" Du Juan listened and responded in surprise, "I didn't even have a chance to greet Fang Zhuang, how could I know his handwriting......"
"Sure enough......" Sun Yun's expression lowered again, and suddenly he thought of something again, turned his head and asked, "Then I'll ask you again, Juan'er, are you in Qingmo Villa...... Have you ever seen a woman?"
When Du Juan heard this question, he was stunned for a moment, his face was full of confusion and confusion, and he asked "stupidly": "Ah, Brother Yun, what's wrong with you, why did you suddenly ...... Will ask this question......"
"It's nothing, just ask...... "Sun Yun didn't seem to want to reveal his true thoughts right now, so as not to frighten everyone.
"What's the matter, young master......" Ren Guang also felt more and more that Sun Yun's tone and expression tonight were not quite right, and he also asked with concern on the side.
"It's okay, it's just a little worried......" Sun Yun closed his eyes and thought about it, as if he was carefully considering something, for a long time, Sun Yun slowly opened his eyes and said solemnly to Ren Guang, "I just read the content of the entrustment letter, there are not many things to escort, just a car of antique toys purchased in Dadu...... Ah Guang, don't arrange too many people to move darts tomorrow, in addition to you and me, Ah Jing Asong and Juan'er, plus Xueyin and Xiaobei, it's good to ......"
"Is there too few people...... Ren Guang couldn't help but ask, "That's not as good as the number of people we visited Qingmo Villa last time......
"There are a lot of rights and wrongs on this journey, I'm afraid there will be some accidents...... Sun Yun said cautiously, "If it weren't for the name of returning to old friends, I would even think that there would be more ...... of these people."
"Young master......" Ren Guang looked at Sun Yun's serious eyes, knowing that he must have discovered something, but he didn't let go of it, so he simply didn't ask any more......
"Heh, this time you took the initiative to think of me......" Qi Xueyin suddenly said "playful", she didn't know what was going on between the Lai Yun Dart Bureau and Qingmo Villa, although Wuji said.
"Xueyin ......" However, Sun Yun seemed to have serious things to explain to Qi Xueyin, and his tone was no longer as polite as usual, but a lot more solemn, "You come out with me, I have something to say to you alone......"
"Hmm?......" Qi Xueyin also felt that Sun Yun's state tonight was different from before, and gradually withdrew his expression, and turned back by default.
It is rare that there is no "objection" between each other, Sun Yun and Qi Xueyin slowly left the room.
"Brother Yun......" Du Juan was always relieved, looking at Sun Yun with a solemn expression, he was also faintly worried in his heart......
Sun Yun and Qi Xueyin came to the empty courtyard at night, obviously wanting to avoid people's eyes and ears, and to have a "private matter" with Qi Xueyin alone.
"Tell me, what is it that wants to find me alone?" Sure enough, Qi Xueyin came up and asked.
"Xueyin......" Sun Yun hesitated for a long time before he slowly spoke, "You and Qingmo Villa...... Is there a relationship......
"Of course not, I was by my master's side when I was a child, and it was the first time I walked out of the 'house' alone a month ago, and I was even at a loss in the capital, let alone the Qingmo Villa outside the city...... Qi Xueyin replied without any scruples, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, thinking that Sun Yun was "jealous" of himself, so his expression turned hard and said, "Oh, you shouldn't be suspicious of me, and like you went to Luozhuang last time, set up an ambush on the way to your dart......
"Hmm......" Sun Yun immediately shook his head, just muttered softly, but his expression was still very solemn, not at all like his usual self.
"Hmph, I am 'locked' in the dart game by you, the young master, every day, and the chances of going out are pitiful, how can there be any gap to plot against you......" Qi Xueyin inserted her hands between her hands, and said unconvinced, "And even if I want to kill you, why should I ......" I wanted to continue, but suddenly felt that something was wrong, Qi Xueyin's expression changed, and suddenly stopped.
"Why bother?...... In this dart game, there are many more opportunities to make a move than outside......" Sun Yun said lightly, and then picked up Qi Xueyin's words and said, "And your martial arts are so high, I am not in the dart game during the day, and there are so many hostages at home, it can be said that it is easy for you to deal with me......"
Qi Xueyin slowed down slightly, her expression calmed down slightly, and she asked coldly: "Hmph, do you know the purpose of my stay with you......"
"You want to thoroughly understand my every move, and then find an opportunity to kill me, right......" Sun Yun nodded, and said quietly without hesitation, "In your heart, you still want to be your senior brother...... Avenging my brother......"
"It seems that you are quite sober and know the relationship between the two of us as friend and foe...... Qi Xueyin smiled coldly and continued to ask randomly, "That's right, in front of you, I can not hide it at all - the purpose of my stay with you is to kill you one day...... How's that? Do you want to get rid of me, or do you want to keep me as a troublesome person......"
Sun Yun thought for a long time, knew Qi Xueyin's heart, and then smiled slowly: "Xueyin, you have a straightforward personality, you don't hide anything in front of me, and even if you want to kill me, you dare to speak out...... Looks like you didn't do it......"
"What didn't I do?——" Hearing this, Qi Xueyin's eyes were stunned, and she asked sullenly.
"I'm sorry, Xueyin ......" Suddenly, Sun Yun apologized in front of Qi Xueyin.
"I'm sorry?" Qi Xueyin's expression became more and more puzzled, "?......What are you sorry for?"
"I shouldn't doubt your ......," Sun Yun continued.
"Doubt me?" Qi Xueyin said suspiciously.
"Actually, I've been wondering just now, could this be your 'prank', or if you really planned revenge, like the last time you went to Luozhuang, and also set a trap for me...... "Sun Yun said apologetically, "I've always wondered if it was Xueyin that you pretended to be a disciple of Qingmo Villa, sent a letter to the Jiuwang Chamber of Commerce, and then set a trap on the way...... After all, the letter was not sent directly to the Fortune Bureau, and my first reaction was the identity of this person, and I didn't dare to meet us head-on......"
"That's why you doubt me......" Qi Xueyin muttered.
"But you don't know Qingmo Villa, and you don't hide it in front of me at all, so I'm sure you didn't do it......" Sun Yun continued to say guiltily, "I'm sorry Xueyin, I was too stubborn and suspicious of you just now, I apologize to you......" Sun Yun felt that his "arbitrariness" might hurt Qi Xueyin's nature as a girl, so he put down all his usual face and sincerely apologized in front of Qi Xueyin.
"I don't care, after all, it's not from your dart game, and I have a grudge against you, plus what happened in Luozhuang in the past, I can understand if you suspect me......" However, Qi Xueyin was also generous, just said a few words hastily, and then asked, "But I don't understand, why do you suspect me all of a sudden, logically speaking, I can't have a relationship with Qingmo Villa, right?" Even I don't know the details of that villa, if I use them as an excuse to deceive you, if I miss something, wouldn't it be easy for you who are familiar with Qingmo Villa to find a flaw......
"Because of this letter—" Sun Yun suddenly held up the letter solemnly.
"Letter?" Qi Xueyin couldn't guess what was wrong with the letter, so she couldn't help but ask teasingly, "What's wrong with the letter......?"
"It's not a ......," Sun Yun handed the envelope to Qi Xueyin and said, "I smell a hint of flowers and spices from the edge of this envelope, and it is likely to be a woman's favorite fragrance......
"Fragrance?" Qi Xueyin sniffed the envelope and responded by default, "Well, there is, and I'm sure it's indeed a spice for women...... You probably think it's a woman who sent this letter, so your first reaction is to suspect me, right?"
"Sort of......" Sun Yun continued to apologize, "I'm really sorry, because this incident is ......"
"I don't care......" Qi Xue responded in response, continued to smell the smell on the envelope, remembering what she said in the room just now, she finally suddenly realized, "Oh, I understand, no wonder you asked your sister just now, is there a woman in Qingmo Villa...... You've always suspected that the person who sent this letter was probably a woman—"
"That's right—" Sun Yun continued, "but I can't remember if there were any women in Qingmo Villa, at least I didn't seem to see it when we went to Qingmo Villa...... After all, if you can send this letter of entrustment, if you are from the villa, you must at least have some status......"
"And this fragrance smells very strong carefully, and the one who can apply this spice will most likely be a woman with a strong personality, with status and ......ability," Qi Xueyin also helped analyze, "But you said that you haven't seen any women in Qingmo Villa...... So you wonder if there's something strange about this dart commission—"
"You're right-" Sun Yun continued, "I think there must be a follow-up to the matter, and we can't just take it lightly......
"I, like you, have this idea...... It just so happens that I can accompany you this time - I also want to see the truth behind this matter......" Qi Xueyin seemed to be inexplicably excited, and she had been "holding back" in the dart game for a long time, and she was a little interested in such a "novelty" world, so she simply accompanied a little "energy", thinking of Sun Yun's suspicion of herself just now, her tone returned to her usual joke, "However, you doubted this girl just now, and this girl is not happy...... Although I can accompany you to Qingmo Villa, how can you compensate me for this mental loss?"
"This ......" Sun Yun was a little hesitant, after all, he just suspected that Qi Xueyin was wrong first, and hurt a girl for no reason, Sun Yun would not be as "dead-skinned" as usual.
"I'm trapped here every day by you, a young master, I can't go out casually, and I have to work for your dart bureau and do chores, I'm like a slave and I'm called ......" Qi Xueyin continued to snort, "Moreover, I still take care of your wife for free, care about her and care for her, but you still treat me every day with a 'stinky face'...... Hey, I don't know what kind of sin I have suffered when I meet you, whether I should say that I am guilty or fortunate - I am willing to be your subordinate, and I will be your cattle and horses, and you are so good, let me live comfortably in the dart game for a month, and do not treat me as an enemy or even an outsider at all......
"Thank you, Xueyin......" Sun Yun couldn't help but thank her silently, "Thank you for taking care of Juan Er for me—to be honest, since the dart game moved to Dadu, although I try my best to care for her every day, I don't know what happiness she wants...... But after you came, she was like an extra sister, and she was much more lively and cheerful this month, completely out of the pain and concealment she once had...... Honestly, maybe you know Juan Er's inner thoughts better than I do......"
"Because we are all women, there are many things that you men won't understand-" Qi Xueyin couldn't help but say playfully, looking at Sun Yun's rare "gentle" side in front of her, she couldn't help but look at her eyes, "Actually, it's you who really understand her...... I'm there for her, and I'm just for her, and you're all ...... for her."
"Xueyin......" Qi Xueyin would say such "affectionate" words to herself, Sun Yun couldn't help but cast a surprised look at Qi Xueyin, and her heart couldn't help but feel inexplicably warm.
"And I'm so close to her just because...... Just because ...... It's just because I want to find the shadow of the past......" Qi Xueyin's voice became smaller and smaller, remembering the memories of being with her sister when she was a child, and said with a little sadness.
"What...... Something?" The voice was too small, Sun Yun didn't hear it clearly, and couldn't help but ask again.
"Oh, it's nothing......" Qi Xueyin didn't seem to want to mention too much about her painful past, secretly wiped away the imperceptible tears from the corners of her eyes, and cheered up, "In short, you, a big man, are the pillars of the dart game, and it is impossible to have too much energy to care about her (Du Juan)...... While I'm still with you, it's good for me to take care of her for you......"
Sun Yun listened, and his heart was touched, tonight's conversation was the first time that Sun Yun had a heartfelt "good impression" of Qi Xueyin......
"By the way, Xueyin ......" Sun Yun seemed to remember something again, and said slowly, "I want to ask you something, can you ...... Help me?"
When Qi Xueyin heard this, she might not be able to adapt to Sun Yun's gentle request, and she was slightly embarrassed, so she changed her tone and said with a smile: "Heh, what is the relationship between the two of us, you are a big man, why are you so cowardly...... Say, what do you want me, a 'servant', to do for you?"
"I beg you...... On the road tomorrow, help me protect Juan'er-" Sun Yun said solemnly......
