Fragrance Returned

When Xun Xiang entered the room, it was like a spring breeze carrying the fragrance of flowers, which made Sun Yumu feel warm and tender in his heart.

Sun Yumu felt this way every time he saw Xiangxiang, and couldn't help but sniff his nose a few times.

Xunxiang sat down in front of the case, and Sun Yumu poured her a cup of tea. "My grandfather only got half a catty of amber beauty in Qian Ming Dynasty. I begged for twenty taels."

The excuse for begging is of course that Xiangxiang likes to drink.

The tea soup is bright amber in color, and when you take a sip, it is sweet and mellow, with a honey aroma.

Xunxiang put down the tea cup and said with a smile, "Good tea."

Sun Yumuxiao asked, "We haven't seen each other for so many days. Do you miss me?"

Xunxiang nodded sincerely, "I think so."

Sun Yumu's smile deepened, and he stretched out his two big hands to hold Xunxiang's small hand on the case.

Xun Xiang blushed and subconsciously wanted to take back her hand, but was held tightly by a big hand.

Sun Yumu's face was as red as rouge and he whispered, "Let me hold your hand. I have been thinking about it for a long time, even in my dreams. I really hope that time will go faster and I can marry you home as soon as possible."

Xunxiang lowered his eyes.

In her two lifetimes, this was the first time that she was held by a man other than her relatives. Thrilling, sweet, shy, happy... all kinds of wonderful tastes came to my heart.

In fact, she has been looking forward to this day...

The ancients were reserved in love, and the young Sun Gu was even more reserved. Only today did she have the courage to hold her hand.

The palms of my big hands were sweaty and greasy. Xun Xiang also broke out in a thin layer of sweat, and a quiet and elegant aroma with a hint of honey filled the room.

In the strong fragrance, two hearts are closely connected. The eyes met, as if telling silent words of love...

There were many birds flying on the big tree outside the window, chirping, and a few birds flew into the half-open window.

The sound of birdsong awakened the two people who were silent in sweetness. They looked at each other and smiled, and separated their four hands.

Sun Yumu stood up and chased away the birds that flew into the house, then sat down and said, "Our people have returned from Shizhou Mansion and Jincheng. Mr. Pan's official reputation is acceptable, and the old family members also abide by the law. So far, the Shen family has not been found." Any inappropriate behavior.

"The Pan family doesn't like to make friends. Except for the clan members who occasionally go to Jingci Temple to visit a girl from the Shen family who became a monk, they rarely interact with outsiders. Some time ago, a clan member committed a crime against his son, and the Shen family gave him a gift of two hundred taels of silver. Set things right..."

Princess Duan's surname is Pan. Her father is the prefect of Shizhou Prefecture. One of her brothers is the head of the Criminal Department in the capital. Her hometown is in Quyuan. The officials of other tribesmen are below the seventh rank.

There are no other forces, let alone helping Prince Duan seize the throne, even if he wants to stir up trouble in the court, he can't do it.

Except for the Pan family, King Duan had almost no interactions with outsiders.

Xunxiang recalled that she had dreamed of King Duan twice. Except for pretending to be stupid, there was nothing unusual about it.

She said suspiciously, "Am I really over-attended? Is he pretending to be stupid just to protect himself? However, I just feel that Gao Dezhu is trying to trick my eldest brother. It is impossible for her to fall in love with my eldest brother for no reason..."

Sun Yumu said, "We have left informants in Shizhou and Quyuan. No matter whether King Duan is pretending to be stupid or not, if there is something wrong with the Pan family, we can't hide it from us."

Xunxiang nodded and asked, "Is the Pan family girl a monk at Jingci Temple?"

Sun Yumu nodded, "What a coincidence, Xiang Yi is also there."

He had heard Ding Lichun talk about Jingci Nunnery many times before, and he still had a deep memory of this nunnery.

Suddenly, there was a noise outside and a woman crying loudly.

Sun Yumu and Xunxiang both came to the window.

The window was blocked by the branches of a tree, and only the silhouette of a running figure could be seen vaguely through the lush branches and leaves.

Diagonally opposite is an inn.

From the sound of the voice, it seemed that the woman came from out of town to find a relative, and her grandson suddenly disappeared.

Not long after, several Jinwu guards and government officials came, one of them was Wang Lei.

They took the woman and several people from the inn away.

Sun Yumu said, "Yesterday, I heard from Mr. Qiu that there are little beggars missing one after another nearby. They are all boys under the age of seven. I wonder if that child is related to the boy's disappearance."

Thinking of those children, Xunxiang's heart tightened. It's pitiful for a child to be a beggar, but I don't know what evil hand would harm them.

Sun Yumu added, "Qiu Wangzhi is insidious and cunning. Although I don't like this person, I have to admire his prodigy in handling cases and his sense of smell is more sensitive than others. The emperor praised him more than once, saying that he is the only one in the Weiguo Palace. And it stood up.”

Xunxiang said, "I think Mr. Qiu is very good. He is not only a genius in handling cases, but also has many advantages. You are biased against him. He is your future cousin-in-law. He will marry Jingjing in four months. Don't be so Talk about him."

Sun Yumu said, "My uncle and aunt like him. If it were me, I would definitely not agree to that marriage. Jingjing is simple and kind, and I am afraid that she will be bullied if she marries the Qiu family."

"No, at least Mr. Qiu won't make disgusting cats and dogs."

Sun Yumu glanced at Xunxiang, even the emperor said you were smart, how could you be so smart? At least you didn't see Qiu Wang's thoughts.

He didn't feel comfortable saying this clearly, so he smiled and said, "My mother misses you very much. She said she would like to let Jingjing go to play at home one day, and then invite you over."

"Okay, I miss her too..."

At noon, several servants went to the nearby Juxianke Restaurant to buy food and drinks.

Not long after, Qingfeng hurried back and said, "Report to the Prince, Princess, Uncle Ding was fighting with someone at the Juxianke Restaurant. When I went there, the yamen had already pulled the person away, and both parties were injured... "

Xunxiang and Sun Yumu stood up in fright and ran outside.

Sun Yumu, who is tall and has long legs, ran in front with a few boys. Xun Xiang was protected by Jiang Xi and others, walking behind.

Xunxiang was almost dying of anxiety, but Pian Yuhuan held her tightly to prevent her from running wildly on the street.

Juxian Restaurant is more than a hundred meters away from Zuixian Pavilion, and it takes only half a quarter of an hour to arrive.

I saw two people being carried out, and several people came out with bruises and bruises.

Xun Xiang went in, and Qing Lang, who was guarding the restaurant, came over and said, "Princess, the old man is in the private room on the second floor."

Xunxiang hurriedly went upstairs and saw Ding Zhuang sitting in the room, Sun and Mu standing aside. The room was in a mess, with food and drinks all over the floor, and a few waiters were cleaning.

One of Ding Zhuang's eyes was blue, his nose was even redder, and there was blood on his face.

Xunxiang was frightened, "Master, go to the hospital quickly."

Ding Zhuang waved his hand and said, "I'm fine. I only had some blood from my nose. The two boys were seriously injured, enough to drink a pot."

Ding Zhuang has not gone home for more than ten days in a row. He came back from the Steel Manufacturing Bureau last night and invited three co-workers to drink at Juxian Restaurant today.

The reason why he chose to drink here was because it was relatively close to Princess Dongyang's mansion. After drinking, he went to play with his granddaughter.

Ding Zhuang is so happy that he has become Ding Dajinshou, his son has become two fifth-rank officials, his eldest grandson has become a fourth-rank general, and his granddaughter is even more incredible.

The three workers could also talk, and Ding Zhuang was photographed in a daze. They drank three bottles of Yuhualang, and Ding Zhuang started to brag...
