Wishful Things

Why do you feel that Xu Mingyi is becoming more and more spoiled by Tianmu now?

It is clear that when I first saw Tianmu, I still faintly revealed a feeling of disgust.

What kind of shady trick did this bird use?

Aside from the young man's disdain, it is difficult to restrain the urge in his heart to ask for advice.

However, due to his self-esteem as the master, he just said sternly: "The Tianmu seems to like to sit like a human being especially now. This kind of habit is always too impolite."

Before meeting Xu Mingyi in the past, it always stayed at his feet obediently, so why is it sitting on an equal footing with him now?

Or, being a bird is no longer enough for it, and it wants to be a human?

Tianmu stared at the young man, tilted his head—is there something wrong? Why target it all of a sudden?

"It's okay, there are no outsiders here anyway."

Xu Mingyi smiled and said: "It has always been like this in my family, and my grandfather has already acquiesced. Now when there is no Tianmu on the table when eating, everyone has to ask."

Wu Chao: "...?"

General Xu has such a temper that he even allowed this bird to eat at the table?

It needs to be known that he has never had the opportunity to go to Xu's house to eat even a meal. The days when he was rescued by old general Xu did not count, after all, the food was delivered to his guest room.

But this bird is treated like this?

Prompted by jealousy, the boy suddenly misses the town government mansion where he wanted to roast the big bird.

"You haven't answered what I just said—" The boy who didn't want to face the cruel truth got back to business.

"You're talking about Xia Xi..." Xu Mingyi nodded, and said, "I also think it's probably her."

After all, this matter is done, and the personal style is still very strong.

Such a stupid, bad person, who still has some money and a way out, and at the same time hates her so much—she couldn't think of a second person for a moment.

Seeing that her tone was too casual, and she didn't seem to take this matter seriously, Wu Chao frowned slightly and reminded: "Although the planning of this matter is not very clever, it is related to your safety, no matter how big or small, you need to be more careful. You must not let this person go easily this time."

Seeing his worried appearance, Xu Mingyi felt warm in his heart, and nodded as if he was very educated: "This is very reasonable."

But it wasn't just that she didn't care. Her grandfather had ordered someone to secretly investigate the people who had had frequent contact with Zhan Yunjiao yesterday.

In the past, she was too lazy to pay attention to Xia Xi, thinking that the relationship between her and her was just a mutual dislike, but if she was asked to find out that the other party was involved in this matter, then she would never give him another chance to go crazy again.

If this kind of fly catches the opportunity, it should be swatted to death at once - in her case, there is no doubt about the answer.

"I've already ordered people to look for evidence." Wu Chao looked at her and said, "Someone came back this morning, saying that they discovered that people in the yamen were also secretly investigating this matter, presumably it was Master Ji's order."

Hearing this, Xu Mingyi was a little surprised.

Her grandfather is checking.

Wu Chao is investigating.

The government is also investigating.

I have to say that Xia Xi's luck is really good - such good luck, it's really hard not to end up in jail.

"Actually, it's not that I don't care about this matter." Looking at the young man in front of him, Xu Mingyi thought of talking heart-to-heart: "It's just that as far as this matter is concerned, I care more about another point."

Wu Chao looked at her and motioned her to continue with his eyes.

"Zhan Yunzhu—" Xu Mingyi said seriously, "I always thought he was still alive."

It's almost an indescribable intuition, no—it's even more like an induction.

"The person who threw himself into the river back then?"

Xu Mingyi nodded: "It's him."

She looked at the tall and short houses and high pavilions in the distance through the open carved window, and said: "Perhaps, he has been hiding in the capital all along."

Wu Chao followed her gaze.

After a while, he asked, "What did this person do?"

He knew from a very early age that she didn't want this man alive.

But I don't know why.

And right now, he faintly sensed that the existence of this person, to her, seemed more like some kind of difficult knot in her heart, and there must be a reason for it.

"He was used by the Xia family before, and he and his father Zhanqian secretly planned to steal my family's secrets. It can be said that he has ulterior motives. As for the testimony in the court against Xia Han, it was just a show for the world to see. In fact, in Xia Han's case, he was not clean."

Xu Mingyi's tone was cool and authentic: "This is a hypocrite who can be called brilliant. Before that, whether it was my grandfather in the family or my second uncle who had been teaching him for many years, they had been deceived by him for many years."

Wu Chao frowned.

From this point of view, this person does have a bit of scheming.

However, for the Xia family to spy on the secret affairs of the Zhen Guogong's mansion?

"Is it really just for the Xia family's use?"

Xu Mingyi shook his head slightly: "Of course not."

Xia Tingzhen was just obeying orders - even if there was a possibility that he might provoke the so-called emperor's heart, but this emperor's heart has long been rotten by himself, and the result will not be much different whether others provoke it or not.

And a rotten heart cannot be cured, the only way is to pluck it out and throw it away.

Wu Chao straightened his thin lips.

At first he only knew that the emperor was not very wise, vain, hypocritical and suspicious.

But only now did he realize that the other party had already stretched out his hand on the Xu family's head - so blatantly eager to wait, did he feel that he was sitting too securely in this dragon chair?

"Don't worry too much about—"

The young man's voice was gentle but determined. Although he didn't promise anything in the future, when he met those eyes, Xu Mingyi felt more at ease in his heart.

Reliving this life again, even though she has a heavy past and fear of the future in her heart, she never feels that she is alone.

She has a family that loves and protects her.

But after getting closer to him, she still felt more secure, and had another strong support in her heart.

This may have something to do with the Wu family behind him, but it's more because of him.

No matter what happens in the future, whether there will be a day when their positions will diverge, at least at this time, she completely trusts him-she is undoubtedly lucky to have such a wonderful and beautiful encounter in life.

Of course, his luck is also very good.

After talking with him, her mood suddenly became much brighter.

At this time, a little girl selling flowers passed by downstairs.

The little girl looks about eleven or twelve years old, with a slender figure, old but clean dress, half-up hair bun tied with two blue cloth scarves, as fresh and lovely as the fresh flowers of various colors in the bamboo basket she holds in both hands.

Seeing this pleasing scene, Xu Mingyi inexplicably felt more and more calm.

Wu Chao followed suit.

Not long after, the little flower seller was stopped by Xiao Wu.

"..."

The little girl who had even bought the flowers and the basket held the gold in her hand for a long time and couldn't regain her senses.

Why did it end before it even opened?

Is this... the joy of pie in the sky?

At the same moment, the mood of Zhou Wei who was sitting in Ji Wanyou's room was completely different from that of the little flower seller.

"Sister Ji..." The smile on Zhou Wei's face was forced: "What do you mean by that? Why can't I understand?"

Thank you Qinghan for the reward (I have been very busy these few months, and there will be a temple fair at home next month, so there is no way to add rewards and updates for the time being, but it is all recorded in the memo, and I will definitely return it when I am free. Now I will stabilize the double updates. Heck, add updates, what if I explode one day?)
