Lian Youyou looked at the old couple Yu Hezhang and pointed at the banknotes on the table: "Your medical fee has been paid, you can go back now. Even if my daughter recovers from her illness, she can't live in poverty. You should keep the money and take good care of her."
"This..." Sun Shujuan was a little surprised and a little confused, so she looked at Yu Hezhang.
Yu Hezhang held the girl in his arms and bowed again: "Thank you all, my benefactors. I don't know how to repay you for your kindness." The old couple wiped away their tears of gratitude and looked at Fu Mingrui earnestly: "Master Fu..."
Fu Mingrui immediately stepped forward and said, "President Yu, if you have anything else to say, please feel free to ask."
"We only ask that you help us find out who murdered our little girl." The old couple bowed and choked up again.
Fu Mingrui was also filled with righteous indignation: "Don't worry, I will find out!"
"Thank you, sir..."
"By the way, take this teapot." Lian handed over the teapot leisurely.
Seeing this, Sun Shujuan did not dare to be negligent and hurried forward to respectfully take the teapot.
"Go back and give the girl another drink. You two can share the rest. It will be good for you." Lian Youyou said calmly.
The old couple listened carefully.
"Send them out." Lian Youyou said to He Shiqi.
He Shiqi saw the old couple out.
Lian Youyou began to collect the banknotes on the table. After counting, she found that there were exactly 50,000 taels. "That's great! It's so pleasant to work with rich people!" Lian Youyou patted the banknotes and looked at Duanmu Qingchen. "Eat quickly. I'll take you there after you finish eating."
"So fast!" Duanmu Qingchen was surprised, "In broad daylight?" This is really seeing a ghost in broad daylight!
"Well, it's scarier at night. I'm afraid you'll be scared to death." Lian Youyou said lightly, folded the silver bill and handed it to Lin Tingjun.
Lin Tingjun took it expressionlessly and quickly hid it inside his clothes.
Duanmu Qingchen blinking her big peach blossom eyes, is it that scary? Can it scare him to death
Fu Mingrui couldn't sit still anymore. It was his idea, but Duanmu Qingchen had intercepted it. Moreover, Duanmu Qingchen was the prince, what if he was frightened and became stupid
When he thought of this, he no longer cared about the etiquette between the emperor and his subjects, and grabbed Duanmu Qingchen's arm: "Stop messing around! That's really not fun! Do you know what these Nine Gates are doing?! Do you know what this woman rubbed on the back of your hand last time in court?!" Fu Mingrui was really anxious.
Duanmu Qingchen turned to look at Fu Mingrui: "What?"
Lian raised her lips slowly, picked up her chopsticks, and ate with a smile on her face.
The sound of a carriage leaving was heard outside. He Shiqi came in and was very happy to see the table full of food: "I'll go call Lettuce to come out for dinner!" He jumped excitedly to go to the backup.
Fu Mingrui wanted to answer, but when he saw He Shiqi go to the backyard, he became suspicious. He also saw Lin Tingjun coming out of the backyard just now.
He began to wonder, if they went to Quanjude to buy takeout, why would they come from the backyard instead of the front door? The Nine Gates were so small, their backyard should be the kitchen and woodshed, there was no other back door, why did everyone go to the backyard? He was a meticulous and sharp-minded person, so he quickly noticed something strange in the backyard of the Nine Gates.
"Hey! What is it?!" Duanmu Qingchen asked again.
Fu Mingrui came back to his senses, frowned, secretly glanced at Lian Youyou, and turned his face away: "It's corpse oil!"
"Master... what?!" Duanmu Qingchen, who grew up in the imperial palace, had no idea about these messy things. His unruly face showed a baby-like innocence.
Fu Mingrui turned back angrily and said directly: "The oil from the human body! Cook the dead body first! Then! There will be oil!"
Immediately, Duanmu Qingchen's face turned pale. The next moment, he stood up, ran to the yard in panic, and found a corner to vomit.
“Ugh—Ugh—”
Lian Youyou couldn't help laughing, and continued to eat duck calmly, looking at Fu Mingrui who was being forced into a corner with amusement: "Why did you explain it so clearly? Have you done your homework?"
Fu Mingrui's face also turned black. After that case, he really did some homework and supplemented some unpopular knowledge.
"If I don't say that, how can he give up?" Fu Mingrui was also doing this for Duanmu Qingchen's own good. Duanmu Qingchen's status was special, and he really couldn't afford any mistakes. If that happened, Fu Mingrui's entire family wouldn't be able to afford the compensation.
Lian Youyou smiled: "Your brother is as curious as you. If you didn't have similar interests, you wouldn't become brothers." Lian Youyou raised her eyes to look at Fu Mingrui and narrowed her eyes slightly.
In the past, she thought Fu Mingrui was just a passer-by and didn't take a good look at him. But now, after a closer look, she found that Fu Mingrui also had starlight on his body, but that starlight was more obscure than that of Duanmu Qingchen, which meant that Fu Mingrui's star rank was one level lower than that of Duanmu Qingchen, possibly the level of Wenquxing or Wuquxing.
It seems that the affection between these two people was brought down from heaven. Maybe they even agreed to meet in the mortal world hand in hand.
This star god traveled through the worlds mostly with his good friends, so he had a companion and was not lonely.
Little Lettuce and He Shiqi came out from the backyard. Little Lettuce felt like a stranger was around and was a little timid, so she hid behind He Shiqi's burly body.
"Little Lettuce~~This is Fu Mingrui~~Our neighbor. You have seen him too. Don't be afraid." Lian Youyou said softly to Little Lettuce.
Little Lettuce immediately ran to the other side of Lian Youyou and sat down next to her.
"The one who vomited is the Crown Prince Duanmu Qingchen. He's a nice person and gave us money, so you don't have to be afraid." Lian Youyou touched Little Lettuce's head and gave Little Lettuce the best duck leg.
Little Lettuce felt at ease sitting next to Lian Youyou, and happily picked up the big duck leg and started to eat it. He Shiqi also grabbed the other duck leg without hesitation.
Heiyan, who smelled the fragrance, also jumped up and sat on the table like a human. He grabbed a duck wing with both hands, and while gnawing on it, he looked coldly around at the men at the table.
He narrowed his blue eyes. Isn't it too much for men today? This woman who attracts bees and butterflies!
Duanmu Qingchen vomited for a long time and when he came back, he had no appetite at all. Looking at the table full of duck bones, he thought of human bones and almost vomited again.
Fu Mingrui felt the same way when he saw him like that, and couldn't help but recall the shadow of that night.
Duanmu Qingchen held Fu Mingrui's shoulders and looked at Lian Youyou: "Miss Youyou, how about buy one get one free? I'll give my brother my 50,000 taels. Ugh!" Duanmu Qingchen bargained while retching, his face turning pale.
"Puchi." Lian Youyou couldn't help laughing while eating. Duanmu Qingchen was already like this, but he still wanted to go. He was indeed a good friend of Fu Mingrui. As a curious baby, he wanted to take Fu Mingrui with him to give him courage.
Fu Mingrui was also a little surprised. He should have dissuaded Duanmu Qingchen, but Duanmu Qingchen's proposal made him a little "money-hungry". After all, it would take him forever to raise the 50,000 taels by himself. (To be continued)
