Chapter 4 Meeting and Not Knowing Section 3 The Heart Ape and the Horse

Ling Xiao looked at them, at the herbs she had worked so hard to plant, they were growing well, none of them dried up because of lack of water, presumably someone came to help her water every day, the mandala was in full bloom, and the delicate flowers were swaying in the wind, as if they had something to say to her.

I didn't come here for a few days, and a small grass hut was erected near the herb field. She slowly approached the hut, the mud on the edge of the shed had not yet dried, and the old and the young were cleaning up something beside them.

The old man is an old farmer who often hoes the field on weekdays, and the young man who is busy is the young man Cheng Gongzi. Hearing the footsteps, they turned around, and the old farmer smiled: "Madame is here, why haven't you come to water the flowers these days?"

Ling Xiao didn't know what to say for a while, she saw a bucket next to her, and the flowers had just been watered. She looked at them blankly, and the Cheng Gongzi had a bright smile on his face: "Ling Xiao, fortunately, we will meet again." ā€

"This is?" she said, gesturing to the hut.

"The rainy season is coming, Cheng Gongzi is worried that you will encounter a rainy day when you come over in the future, so I will build a grass hut for you to shelter from the wind and rain. The old farmer pointed to the gloomy sky, "This rain will fall, and I will also go to see my little grass shed, so that it does not leak." ā€

Ling Xiao looked at Cheng Gongzi's mud-stained shoes, his clothes were covered with mud, and his hands were scratched a lot. Her heart, which had finally hardened, softened at this time because of the wound on the hand of a weak scholar.

She looked carefully at the small shed built by this Cheng Gongzi himself, and couldn't help but smile, seeing that this person was a nerd, this shed was built simply, not to mention, the length of the horizontal and vertical beams are not the same, such a shed, if it really rains a little bit to dodge and dodge, it is nothing, if there is a big wind and rain, it just can't support a pillar of incense, it will be broken.

Fan Yuncheng saw her smile on her face, and his heart was ecstatic, isn't what he saw in his dream this flower-like smile? His heart began to beat violently again, he didn't care about the mud on his hands, he grabbed Ling Xiao's sleeve and led her to the grass shed: "I have spent a lot of thought on this grass shed, Ling Xiao, come and take a look." ā€

Ling Xiao hesitated for a moment, seeing his elated appearance, he couldn't bear to refuse, so he had to walk over.

"I looked through the articles about the renovation recorded in the history books of the past dynasties, and I learned that to build such a small grass hut, there were so few materials to prepare, much less than I thought. ā€

Ling Xiao couldn't help laughing again, what materials do you need to prepare to build a small grass shed.

Later, the old man also said that I had done too much homework, so let me go and see the little shed he had built. Fan Yuncheng's face turned red, if others laughed at him in front of him, he would immediately get angry and leave, but no matter how Ling Xiao laughed at him, he didn't want to leave her.

"Did Cheng Gongzi put a lot of effort into building a small shed?" Ling Xiao saw his embarrassment and hurriedly turned the topic to the grass shed.

"Ah...... No, there were so few materials, just wood, straw and mud. Fan Yuncheng muttered.

"How many days has Childe been on board?"

"The old man said that it could be set up in two hours, but I ...... I'm so stupid, it took me three days to get it right. Fan Yuncheng said with a red face.

The old farmer who was helping on the side couldn't help but smile when he heard this: "It's hard for this noble son, look at his hands, how can they be hands doing rough work, his hands, that is, the hands that hold a pen to write and draw." ā€

Ling Xiao noticed that Fan Yuncheng's hands had opened a lot of holes, her eyes were a little blurry, since the wedding night, she had broken off the idea of having someone to accompany her in this life, then Fan Yuncheng naturally would not live with herself, and the rest of her life would be like a widow, sewing and mending every day, planting flowers and vegetables, although such a pastoral life is monotonous and boring, it will be unbearable for others, and it will be your own ...... It was originally bearable, but the appearance of this Cheng Gongzi made waves in her calm heart. Fan Yuncheng saw her bow her head and think deeply, I don't know what she was thinking in her heart, he wanted to express his heart several times, but every time the words came to his mouth, he couldn't say it, how to tell her that he was married, married a woman he didn't like at all, married a woman who didn't abide by women's morals, how could these words be spoken?

"It's getting more and more poisonous these days, and if you want to talk, you two should go to the shed and talk about it. I'm done hoeing the grass, and it's time to go back. The old man packed up his things and said to the two of them.

"Ah?!Uncle, thank you for your help these days, thank you in the next section!" Fan Yuncheng said.

"Ouch, don't you dare to talk about this help, let alone the shed you built...... When you see outsiders in the future, don't say that my father-in-law helped you ride, this person, I can't afford to lose it. The old man quipped, "Take your leave, two." ā€

"Old man, go slowly!" Fan Yuncheng's face was feverish, he knew that the small shed standing crookedly beside the field was indeed extremely ugly, he didn't dare to look at Ling Xiao again, he was afraid of seeing the ridicule and ridicule on Ling Xiao's face.

He naturally didn't know what the small shed in Ling Xiao's eyes looked like at this time, in Ling Xiao's opinion, although the small shed was crooked and ugly, she felt that it was the most beautiful building in the world, it was made for her by a man, and it was the warmest gift she had ever received in her life. She tried to bring herself back to her calm state, withdrew her gaze from the small grass shed, and turned her head to see Fan Yuncheng standing there with his head hanging like a child who had done something wrong, and the blood on his hands was still bleeding.

"Cheng Gongzi, your hand is broken, can you come over and I'll help you clean it." ā€

"Ah, thank you so much!" Fan Yuncheng raised his head and replied in surprise and joy.

She took out the silk scarf in her arms, dipped it in the bucket of water to wipe the mud off his hands, washed the hand towel and wrapped his wounds.

Fan Yuncheng asked her to bandage the wound on her hand without saying a word, he wanted to hold this gentle hand in the palm of his hand several times, but he didn't dare to make a rash mistake. He was afraid that his actions would scare Ling Xiao in front of him. He couldn't wait to tell her that he couldn't sleep at night during this time, and her voice and smile were all when he opened and closed his eyes, but he couldn't say the words when he came to his mouth.

"I wonder how Childe's case is going?" Ling Xiao looked up at Fan Yuncheng, "...... a few days ago"

"Ah...... Thanks also to Madame, this case has been very rewarding, and only further evidence needs to be collected. Fan Yuncheng came back to his senses.

"Oh?" Ling Xiao's slightly pale face smiled, "Congratulations to Cheng Gongzi." ā€

"Xiaosheng also wants to thank Ling Xiao for his help. If you hadn't reminded me, I'm afraid there would still be no evidence to take down the thief. ā€

"Childe is polite. Ling Xiao waved his hand, "What Ling Xiao said is ordinary reason, and there is nothing unique. ā€

"Soaring...... Xiaosheng has a reluctant request, and I hope to agree. Fan Yuncheng plucked up his courage and said.

Ling Xiao looked at him and didn't answer him. She tried her best to hide her inner turmoil, and sometimes she wished that she would not listen to what he had to say, and just turn away, but deep down she longed to be with him so much, and her usually calm and wise mind became unusually dull at this time.

"Xiaosheng hopes to come here often and ask for advice or two. ā€

ā€œ...... Ling Xiao is a shallow learner, if the son needs it, I will do my best to ......"

"Thank you so much!" Fan Yuncheng was excited, and he shook his heart again and again.

"It's just...... It's just that the little girl needs to promise one thing......"

"Ling Xiao, please talk about ......," Fan Yuncheng said with a smile.

"I am married, and the prince also knows that the most important thing in the court today is etiquette, and our relationship is unreasonable, I hope the adults understand what the little girl means......" Ling Xiao said with difficulty, she lowered her eyes and did not look at Fan Yuncheng.

"I ...... Got it. Fan Yuncheng said in a low voice.

"The meeting time should not be too long, and Childe can make a long story short. Ling Xiao's eyes were full of tears, "Ling Xiao and Gongzi are already full of guilt for their husband, and I only hope that Cheng Gongzi will be considerate." ā€

ā€œ...... Your husband is so blessed to be able to marry such a good daughter-in-law!" Fan Yuncheng sighed.

ā€œ...... Childe, don't do anything for me anymore, you should do what works for you. ā€

"Ahh ā€

"Ling Xiao is already grateful, Childe. Ling Xiao's eyes moistened, since Fan Yuncheng treated herself cruelly on the wedding night, she never thought that there would be a man who was so gentle and considerate to her. Now the Cheng Gongzi in front of her has made her heart turn upside down, and the pain is abnormal.

"Ling Xiao, I came here today just to ask you if you can teach me a way to bring those murderers to justice. Fan Yuncheng remembered that he had been running around recently, looking for clues, but the families of Liu Fangzhou and Zhang Xiaowu didn't know anything about the two of them, let alone how much they lost gambling outside.

Zhang Shan, the head catcher in the state capital, sent people to visit the 99 gambling house many times, but did not find anything unusual, he wanted to go to the gambling house to check it out in person, but was stopped by Zhang Shan. That Zhang Shan was also a little worried in his heart, this Fan who didn't know the depths, if there was any accident in the process of investigating the case, he was only afraid that his official position would not be guaranteed.

"Childe, please speak. For some reason, Ling Xiao always couldn't harden his heart in front of him.

"How can I find that masked man?" asked Fan Yuncheng sincerely.

"The little girl has a question, can Cheng Gongzi answer me?" Ling Xiao asked him softly.

"Ling Xiao, you can ask me if you have any questions. Fan Yuncheng said sincerely.

"You...... It's just an accountant in the palace, why is he so enthusiastic about solving cases?" Ling Xiao asked.

Fan Yuncheng was stunned, he didn't expect Ling Xiao to ask this question, yes, why would a bookkeeper be so enthusiastic about a case, he suddenly felt that the Ling Xiao in front of him was extremely smart, and thoughtful, and his courage was different from ordinary people. If you are an ordinary person, even if you have doubts in your heart, you will not take the liberty of asking.

"Although I am just an ordinary bookkeeper now, the prefect Zhu Muzhi recently intends to transfer me to the treasurer, so I ...... I am particularly concerned about this case. Fan Yuncheng tried to find a suitable reason, he didn't understand why he didn't tell his true identity, as a fellow acquaintance of Qiaozhou, he was to help the prefect share his worries and solve problems, and it was up to him to check what he didn't check or not, why he lied desperately in front of this woman, unwilling to admit his true identity, and he couldn't understand why.

ā€œ...... Ling Xiao can teach you a method. Ling Xiao sighed, Fan Yuncheng had touched the softest place in her heart, so that she couldn't refuse the person in front of her.

"I want to hear about it. Fan Yuncheng arched his hand.

"Cheng Gongzi, if it is...... If this method works, you will definitely solve the case, and after solving the case, will you be able to ...... Can you ......" Ling Xiao wanted to speak and stopped.

"Ling Xiao, if you have something to say, I won't be angry. ā€

"Can you not come over again?" Ling Xiao asked softly.

"......" Fan Yuncheng choked for a while, he couldn't imagine that Ling Xiao would not want to see him again.

"Cheng Gongzi, can you answer Ling Xiao's question?"

"Soaring...... Do you hate me?" Fan Yuncheng's face suddenly turned pale, and what he was most afraid of appeared, this Ling Xiao suddenly spoke like this, could it be that she hated herself in her heart and didn't like to get along with herself?

"Does the adult already have a wife?" Ling Xiao asked quickly.

"Huh?!"
