Chapter 42 Lots of doubts

On the last day of the first lunar month, the farce in Qingfeng Tower caused many changes among the people in Huai'an that perhaps no one expected.

The news was like riding on the wind, and the wind was mixed with dust particles. It blew through the city of Huai'an without hesitation. The topic was very new and the content was colorful.

That night, the parents of a certain young lady who was invited to a banquet at Qingfeng Tower started talking about this matter.

"I heard that Miss Cao left Qingfeng Tower and almost sprained her foot when she got in the car. She was so angry that she lost her mind." The official lady took off the gold hairpin and gossiped with the master.

"Aren't you angry? The daughter of a dignified second-grade official has been humiliated by Cao Yun Li Xing. Fortunately, there are many Cao soldiers in Li Xing! The person who is most embarrassed this time is probably Mr. Cao." Mr. Guan

He was already leaning on the bed, answering one question after another.

"The punishment is more than caring about Miss Cao's face," the official's wife stopped what she was doing, turned around to look at the master, her voice was very nervous: "Now the news is still being kept secret, and no one else knows: the yamen servant almost broke in.

The wing room where the eldest lady of the Caodu family rests!"

"Hiss—" Mr. Guan sat up suddenly. He had known about Qingfeng Tower for a long time, but he had not heard about such details. "Is the Li Xing Yamen going to risk his life?"

"There is nothing we can do about it. It is said that a thief broke into Qingfeng Tower," the official lady said, clasping her hands together and reciting Amitabha sincerely, "If you ask me, the punishment should be handled well, otherwise the thief will really be killed.

If we mess around in Qingfeng Building, won't our daughter be in danger?"

The official sat beside the bed, frowned and thought about it, and asked, "Where is the thief?"

The official's wife rolled her eyes at him: "My daughter came back early, how do you know this? You can find out by asking yourself tomorrow?"

The official scolded: "Why are we talking about such an important matter now?!"

He put on his clothes, put on his shoes, and hurried out, shouting for the servant to call the master to the study.

The official's wife watched blankly as the master opened the door, then hurried after her and asked urgently: "Master, what do you mean, what's going on inside?"

It was very cold outside, and the master probably wouldn't be able to reach the study for a while. The master stood holding the door, and finally turned around to explain.

"A few days ago, the Three Prisons arrested so many people that they prompted Qian Yushi to warn them. Just a few days later, the punishments and punishments continued to attack each other. They did not give the honor of the commander-in-chief of Cao, and even the governor of Cao.

, do you think it’s normal here?”

"That, that..."

"Well, let me ask you just one question: After listening to the excitement for a long time, did there be any mention of the thief who broke into Qingfeng Tower?"

The official said solemnly: "If you can't catch the thief, it means there is no thief. If there is no thief, what do you think Liu Yun, who is responsible for the punishment, wants to do?"

In this Huai'an Prefecture, why are all the people coming from the south to the north filled with idiots?

People as shrewd and astute as this official are old and young. Most of them are asking the same question: "Where is the thief?"

Where is the thief?

Yes, where is the thief?

Su Ya seemed to have forgotten this problem. During the day, she and Liu Sandian spent time drinking and eating with Shen Huai in Chunshenzhu, and heard a lot of things from all over the world.

She looked at Shen Huai with a look of fascination in her eyes, as if stars were twinkling in the sky and on earth. She admired people like Shen Huai the most.

No, in heaven and on earth, the person she admires most is Shen Huai.

Liu Sandian was so absorbed in the food and wine that he didn't notice it at all, but Gao Jun saw it.

Gao Jun had seen many people looking at Shen Huai like this, and he thought that no matter how smart and righteous Ren Suya was, she was just an ordinary girl after all. How could she escape the charm of her master?

After sending Liu Sandian back to Santiao Alley and putting Su Ya down at the entrance of Wenchang Alley, Gao Jun commented to Shen Huai: "This girl has never been out of Huai'an Mansion and lacks knowledge. She doesn't know that what the master mentioned is just your travels." The tip of the iceberg of knowledge.”

Shen Huai was not as deserted as usual today. Not only was he chatting happily with Liu Sandian, Su Ya was always there to cheer him up, and he drank to his head without knowing it.

He closed his eyes slightly, put his hand on his forehead, and seemed to feel the carriage bumping on the bluestone, and he felt a little dizzy.

"Sir, you don't know that Su Ya is so unsubtle and her eyes never leave your side."

Gao Jun was talking to himself, and suddenly remembered the time when he had prevented Su Ya from pressing against Shen Huai. His heart moved, and he began to apply eye drops to Su Ya secretly, "Look at me, it's a good thing she looks good. It’s not very good, otherwise I’m afraid I’ll get into a lot of trouble by going in and out and showing my face.”

Shen Huai remembered that Su Ya's eyes were full of emotion, and she was focused on the topic with joy or anger, and he felt a little proud in his heart, but he also had a vague feeling that something was wrong, and he couldn't tell what was wrong.

How could a woman like Su Ya show her admiration so openly?

But why can't she be exposed?

He noticed that he had an unpleasant feeling in his heart. He didn't like hearing people talk about Su Ya like that... What does "not good looking" mean? If it wasn't to avoid getting into trouble, why would she end up being called ugly behind her back? to the point?

But he didn't say anything. Why should he explain to Su Ya, and why should he tell others Su Ya's true identity?

After getting off the carriage, Shen Huai's steps were a little frivolous. He had to work hard to control himself so as not to focus his thoughts on the faint fragrance of a girl on the beam of the wing in the daytime.

Damn it, wine is a friend of sex, and I drank too much today.

Su Ya didn't know that she was being remembered. She was looking down at the paper on the desk. On the paper, there was a crude map drawn in a hurry, connecting everyone in Huai'an City.

This was what she had just painted. Shen Huai said that the person pursued by the Punishment Office today was Sun Po, and asked her to go to Sun Po and ask if she had any questions. However, Sun Po was not the type to answer any questions asked.

Su Ya practiced martial arts with Grandma Sun for two and a half years, but when you think about it, the relationship was one of indifference.

Grandma Sun taught her martial arts. At first, it was like getting a kitten or puppy, feeding it to pass the time, kicking her if she didn't learn well, scolding her if she couldn't think clearly, and lying in bed to recover from her injuries. She didn't even want to say another word to Su Ya.

It's hard to tell when she changed into a real mother-in-law with a hard mouth and a soft heart, which made Su Ya's fear of her never come back.

Su Ya had previously planned to make a delaying strategy, pretending to be ambiguous with Shen Huai in front of Sun Po, and try her best to show off in front of Shen Huai, so as to delay the showdown between him and Sun Po.

But now it seems that Shen Huai and Grandma Sun may have had a showdown, willingly or unwillingly, so she no longer dares to dream about Shen Huai continuing to ignore Grandma Sun.

Su Ya folded the chaotic map of the relationship between officials and gentry in Huai'an City, stuffed it into her arms, and waited until both Yan and Xue Jun fell asleep before plunging into the night again.

It is when the moon is at its dimmest and Huai'an City seems invisible to those who are not familiar with it, but Su Ya is of course an exception.

She walked far away from Huai Yuexuan and entered the lower room where Sun Po lived, wanting to talk to her about the crisis properly.

But when she opened the door, she found that Grandma Sun hadn't come back yet.
