I watched Mr. Susi finally walk into a courtyard with a narrow gate. The person who opened the door was an older woman. She opened the door a crack first in a sneaky manner. When she saw that it was Mr. Susi, she opened the door completely and let him in. Then I looked around and saw no one and immediately closed the door.
[Is this a spy joint?] Su Ningxin secretly cursed.
Shuangbai on the side whispered, "It is usually said in the backyard that the fourth master is most afraid of his wife. Even the two concubines in the room were chosen by the fourth wife, but now it seems that he is the boldest and dares to secretly raise an extra wife. "
Su Ningxin turned to look at Shuangbai in confusion, "How do you know he has an outside wife?"
"This alley is located in a remote place, and every household has its doors closed. It is a famous place in the capital for keeping outsiders." Shuangbai hesitated for a moment and then whispered, "Master, have you forgotten? Last time When the wife of the second wife of Uncle Taiping came here with her mother-in-law and servants to beat Hu Meizi, you came with her to watch the fun."
A look of astonishment appeared on Su Ningxin's face, "Is that the time when the outsider rushed up with a bloody head and bit the second aunt?"
Seeing Shuangbai nodding, Su Ningxin showed a hint of understanding. He didn't pay attention to where they were when he came to watch them fight. Now thinking about it, it is indeed in this alley, and the courtyard where they lived in the outer room was just now. I was passing by, but I must have changed the owner a long time ago.
The entire alley is full of outhouses, and serious people would not live here anymore. After all, the reputation here is not good and the rent is high. Ordinary people will definitely choose other places closer to the market, seeing how sneaky Mr. Su Si is. From the looks of it, it must be a waifu room.
When Su Ningxin inquired about the secrets of the fourth master of the Su family, Chu Jihan was meditating on a painting in the prince's palace. The painting showed Su Ningxin's appearance after being disguised.
"We are very familiar with the emperor and the queen during the conversation? Did you have some quarrels with the princess of Pingnan Palace?" Chu Jihan asked the secret guard kneeling in front of the desk while holding the portrait.
"Yes." The secret guard lowered his head and replied in a low voice.
Chu Jihan didn't ask any more questions. He just looked at the portrait and thought. That person was probably not the empress's subordinate, because his subordinates would never dare to chat with the empress without scruples. Instead, he looked like an old friend with a good relationship.
The secret guards around the emperor are all legendary dragon guards who only obey the emperor's orders, and Chu Jihan is the leader of the dragon guards. Although he did not go there in person today, the other secret guards have long remembered Su Ningxin's appearance and painted it. Come out and hand it over to Chu Jihan.
Chu Jihan became more and more curious about the person in the portrait. He appeared in Xingyuan Mansion some time ago and was a friend of Shen Qing. Now he appeared in the capital and was close to the emperor and empress. But if Shen Qing had any relationship with the emperor, he The emperor didn't even say a word about his death in Xingyuan, and it didn't seem like his attitude towards his subordinates.
Chu Jihan suddenly put down the scroll and asked, "Can you find out where the person in the painting is now?"
Half an hour later, in Fuze Restaurant, the most prosperous restaurant in the capital, Chu Jihan saw Su Ningxin, his master and his servant, at a glance. It was really rare for someone who looked so handsome and ate so wantonly.
Chu Jihan walked over and sat directly opposite Su Ningxin. Su Ningxin, who was immersed in eating, looked up at him. As expected, he was scolded again, "Why is it him again?" Is there the aroma of bones floating around my body, causing this dog to chase me every day?]
Not angry or angry, he actually didn't say anything. Chu Jihan tried hard to suppress his surging anger in his heart. He was a leader of the Dragon Guard with great powers and a playboy who did all kinds of evil. It was absolutely impossible for him to suffer this kind of cowardice every day. .
In order to prevent the other party from scolding him further, Chu Jihan said directly, "Brother, we meet again."
Su Ningxin put down the chicken drumstick in her hand, secretly wiped the oil stains on her frosty white clothes under the table, and then asked seriously, pretending that nothing happened, "Is the prince also coming here to eat? What a coincidence."
Chu Jihan shook his head, "I'm not here to eat, I'm here specifically to see you. I like the piece of jade that the shopkeeper gave you in the silver building today. I want to buy it back and carve it as a decoration. Please give me a price."
[Let me go, did he do it on purpose? He actually coveted my treasure. It was a priceless treasure at that time. Even a sick man like you couldn't afford it.]
Listening to Su Ningxin's voice, Chu Jihan knew that he had guessed correctly. After coming out of the palace, he carefully recalled what happened in the silver building and found that although this person seemed to be buying jewelry, his goal was actually from the beginning. It's that stone.
There are only two possibilities for him to do this. One is that he is worried that the shopkeeper will see that he really wants to buy the piece of jade and deliberately raises the price. However, this possibility is very small, because he can spend 1,500 taels to buy jewelry, and the shopkeeper will not care. No matter how much the price is raised, it is impossible to raise it that high.
Another possibility is that the jade is very important, and he is afraid that others will know that it is in his hands, so he deliberately hides it from others. Judging from his current reaction, this should be his purpose.
Su Ningxin stared at Chu Jihan for a long time before saying, "Sorry, that piece of jade is not in good condition, so I gave it to a child to carve and play with."
[You shouldn’t be so shameless trying to grab something from a kid, right?]
Chu Jihan had a smile on his face. It turned out that he was so shameless. "It doesn't matter. Brother, can you tell me which boy you gave it to? I will exchange a piece of better jade with him."
[Shameless! ] Su Ningxin gritted her teeth and cursed secretly in her heart.
Thank you for the compliment, Chu Jihan replied in his heart. Anyway, he classified a series of words such as shameless and shameless into his compliments.
"Prince Han, you may not know that the jade stone is actually a piece of jade skin wrapped around the stone. If you are not careful, the carving will be broken. That kid is young and is probably a pile of fragments now." Su Ning thought bitterly. Face explained.
"Is that so? That's such a pity." Chu Jihan said with regret.
Su Ningxin immediately smiled and said, "I'm so sorry. I didn't expect Prince Han to like such a piece of jade. If I had known about it, I would have given it to him directly."
[Dream on you, even if you kneel in front of me, hold my lap and cry, and bring all the household items to me, I won't give it to you.]
Chu Jihan automatically ignored Su Ningxin's thoughts and continued, "I don't know why, but I particularly like the things that brother picked out. Why don't you tell me where you live and help me go there another day?" Pick out some jade to play with.”
Su Ningxin frowned and looked at Chu Jihan, "Are you teasing me?" Isn't it? I am a man now and he actually flirts with me. Could it be because of Long Yang's kindness?]
Chu Jihan, who was drinking tea, almost spit out a mouthful of tea. You are the one who has the habit of cutting off your sleeves! It's so bloody mouthful.
