Wishful Things

Wu Chao, who realized that his innocence was suddenly in jeopardy, became darker as he thought about it.

Looking at the hairpin on the table, the boy fell silent.

One is still not clean, and another one comes.

No, we can no longer let the situation develop like this.

Wu Chao immediately stood up and went back to his room to change his clothes and tie his hair.

He wanted to return the things and make it clear to Miss Xu face to face.

But just as this room put the hairpin into its bosom, when it was about to go out, a young servant came in to salute, saying: "My lord, someone brought this to you just now."

Wu Chao took the too simple note and unfolded it to read.

The font on it is elegant, and the book is written - see it in the teahouse.

Although there was no signature, Wu Chao could guess who it was.

I didn't expect Miss Xu to open her mouth and shut up a person who wanted to convince others before talking, but she wrote a good hand behind her back.

It's just...was it discovered so quickly?

Wu Chao was a little uneasy.

It seems that he will have to speak first later, otherwise he might not be able to explain clearly if he waits until the other party opens his mouth to ask for it.

"I went out for a while, and when my parents asked about it, they said I was going out for a while."

Wu Chao confessed to the boy, and strode away from Fengqingju.

When he came to the teahouse, he heard from the waiter that Xu Mingyi had already arrived.

Going straight up to the second floor, I saw the girl sitting by the window, leaning on the back of the wide chair relaxed and stretched, looking out of the window with her face sideways, or at this time, the beautiful sunset glow was a little dazzling, she slightly He squinted his eyes, looking lazy and comfortable.

Seeing this scene, Wu Chao, who came without stopping along the way, unconsciously slowed down.

"Mr. Wu."

Xu Mingyi turned his head to look at him, with a slight smile in his eyes, and put away his relaxed posture without any trace.

Wu Chao suddenly felt that her dignified sitting posture was not pleasing to the eye.

Is it uncomfortable to lean back in the chair like just now?

Sitting down on the seat opposite her, Wu Chao said in front: "When Miss Xu asked someone to send a letter to me, I was just planning to see Miss Xu—"

"Young Master Wu, is there something you want to see me for?"

Xu Mingyi asked while pushing a cup of tea towards him.

Wu Chao took a look at the cup of tea and made a distinction in his heart.

It seems that Miss Xu didn't come to him for hairpins, otherwise it would be impossible to treat him with such a good temper.

After hesitating for a moment, Wu Chao finally took the hairpin out of his arms.

"The Tianmu was messing around and stole Miss Xu's hairpin. I will return it to Miss Xu."

Xu Mingyi was stunned.

The young man's fingers were slender, which made the white jade plum hairpin more shiny and clean.

Xu Mingyi reached out to take it, and looked at it carefully.

Wu Chao withdrew his hand, picked up the teacup, rubbed the wall of the cup twice with the pulp of his index finger that the girl accidentally touched just now, then brought the teacup to his lips and took a sip, while taking the rest of the cup casually. Just pay attention to the girl's reaction.

But Xu Mingyi frowned tightly.

"This hairpin is not mine."

Wu Chao was startled, and subconsciously blurted out: "But I've clearly seen you used—"

Xu Mingyi recalled it carefully.

She did have a very similar pair, but she couldn't remember when she used them. Wu Shisun's memory is excellent.

"But this one really doesn't belong to me." She said with a serious expression: "This should belong to one of my cousins."

She once gave a pair of hairpins to each of the Cui family sisters. Since it was a gift, she couldn't prevaricate it with old things. That day she made a special trip to Shangyu Pavilion to choose, thinking that her cousin Qing was beautiful and refined, so she chose this pair of white jade plum flower hairpins.

And the character "Qing" was engraved on the hairpin, it was the one in her hand.

So, this is definitely something from my cousin!

And according to the memories of Cousin Qing's maid, when Cousin Qing went out that day, she wore these pair of hairpins——

"Mr. Wu is saying that this hairpin was brought back by Tianmu?" Xu Mingyi asked.

Wu Chao nodded slightly: "Mmm..."

Thinking that he carried a strange woman's hairpin all the way in his arms, the boy suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

Xu Mingyi asked again: "Do you know where the Celestial Eye was brought back from?"

Wu Chao shook his head.

If he knew where it came from, he wouldn't mistake it for Miss Xu's.

It's just that Miss Xu seems to care very much.

"But is there any problem?" Wu Chao asked with a perceptive look.

Holding the hairpin, Xu Mingyi hesitated again and again, and finally said: "One of my cousins ​​is missing, and this hairpin may be an extremely important clue."

She should have kept her cousin Qing's disappearance secret, but the current situation is special, and she needs Wu Chao's help.

"Missing?" Wu Chao frowned.

Xu Mingyi nodded and said: "This matter is related to my daughter's family name, so I haven't publicized it to the outside world. I hope Mr. Wu can keep it a secret."

Wu Chao let out a "hmm".

He is not a talkative person.

"Actually, I invited Mr. Wu out today for this purpose."

Xu Mingyi gave an overview of what happened, including the fact that the government found out that Qi Lin had appeared near this teahouse.

Then, before she could open her mouth to explain her intentions, Wu Chao called the clerk to go upstairs, and directly confessed: "Call the clerk who answered when the government came to ask yesterday."

Xu Mingyi looked at him and said seriously, "Thank you."

Frankly speaking, she really likes Wu Shisun's breezy and neat personality.

Soon, a young guy aged eighteen or nineteen came upstairs.

"Did you conceal anything when you answered the officer yesterday?" Wu Chao asked, "Or if there are any other suspicious things, tell them in detail."

The guy looked hesitant.

Naturally, he dared not hide anything from his son, but this girl...

"Ms. Xu is my friend. If you have anything to say, just say it."

Furthermore, since Miss Xu invited him out, it seems that she has already seen the relationship between this teahouse and him, so there is no need to make unnecessary cover-ups.

"yes."

The waiter then said: "In order not to cause trouble for the teahouse, the villain has indeed concealed something... That day the villain heard footsteps in the bamboo forest, so out of caution, he followed."

They seem to be just ordinary guys, but in fact they are all sent here after being selected.

For a guy like him who wants to appear on the public face, in order not to attract attention, even if he doesn't know martial arts, he is alert and alert at all.

After all, their main duty on weekdays is to listen to various news.

Although most of the important news is not easy to hear, on the contrary, I hear a lot of gossip every day.

That day, he followed the sneaky young man into the bamboo forest, and soon saw a girl wearing a fence to hide her appearance also came.

The two apparently knew each other and made an appointment to meet here.

The business of their teahouse is deserted and the location is remote, and the bamboo forest is even more hidden, and it has become the holy place of choice for private parties.

He thought it was just a private meeting with nothing new, but after hearing what the girl said, he realized that it was not the case——
