Chapter 30: Murderous
After Ji Ran's figure disappeared from the bottom of the building, Xiao Qi immediately ran to the door close to the corridor.
After a while, she heard a familiar footstep approaching from bottom to top and soon appeared on the aisle on the third floor.
She hadn't figured out why Ji Ran appeared here, but she heard a greeting suddenly coming from not far outside the door.
In a while of a pretentious laughter, Ji Ran talked to the people outside in a low voice.
Xiaoqi listened hard. Although she recognized Ji Ran's voice first, she still couldn't hear what the other party said.
With a slight door sound, everything outside returned to silence.
Only then did she quietly open the door on Tianchun Yingyu's side and look from the gap at the place where the sound just now came from.
——The door on the side of Yuli in Yaochi has been closed, and only two maids stand at the door, waiting for the guests in the house to give instructions at any time.
"Guest?" The waiter standing at the door waiting to see Xiaoqi's movements and looked over curiously, "What are you looking at?"
"...ah no." Xiaoqi shook his head quickly, "I just heard that there was a little noisy outside just now, come and see what's wrong."
"Oh, a new guest came across from him."
Xiaoqi nodded thoughtfully and closed the door again.
Will people like Ji Ran have daily social engagements?
Even after closing the door, Xiaoqi did not immediately turn back to the table. She stood alone for a while, and always felt that something was missing and she didn't remember it. It was not until the memories of going to Daizongshan with Feng Yan's first time suddenly emerged that she realized something later - the He family, isn't Ji Ran's family?
Ji is the surname of his mother, and Ji Ran seems to have broken off relations with the He family at a very young age...
In this way, everything is reasonable - this is when the father meets his son.
Xiaoqi then breathed a sigh of relief.
OK, Ji Ran was not for her today.
She knew very well when the elders made an appointment during the New Year - either He’s father wanted to find an opportunity to reconcile, or arranged a blind date for the younger generation... Although it is unlikely that the two parties will meet up, it is quite common to have an appointment with a matchmaker to see the portrait and talk about family matters.
Li had arranged for Feng Yishu before, but unfortunately, the fifth brother was not good at that time. He encountered something in the Ping Yao Office halfway through the meal, so he threw down his chopsticks and ran away.
Xiaoqi sat back to his original position and calmed down a little.
etc……
Xiaoqi suddenly choked.
——If the He family really had an appointment with a matchmaker to show Ji Ran the painting, would there be a portrait of her?
When Xiaoqi's cheeks quickly burned, she covered her face with her hands, and all ten toes in her shoes were twisted together.
She couldn't tell her mood at the moment, and she felt a huge embarrassment crashing down, which made her a little panic and a little resisting.
No, no...
Probably not.
If Li really starts to arrange a marriage for her, then before delivering the picture to the matchmaker, my mother will definitely say hello to her in advance...
Xiaoqi lowered his head and covered his head.
Stop!
Stop thinking about these things!
Huai Qing looked at Xiao Qi's red and white face, reached out and poked Sanqiu opposite him, and signaled the little fox to see Xiao Qi next to her - she had been in a complicated expression since she had just started, and she had a deep grudge and a deep relief.
Sanqiansui didn't care about food, and he hummed and made a tone of doubt, but never looked up.
Huai Qing clamped his four fingers together into a fist and knocked on the table in front of Xiaoqi.
"What are you thinking?" he asked, "had been very worried since the beginning."
Xiaoqi rubbed his temples, "...I feel a little uncomfortable. You guys eat quickly, and we will leave quickly after eating."
Huai Qing was about to say something, but an unusual silence suddenly appeared in the room.
Xiaoqi and Huai Qing quickly reacted - the sound of the three thousand-year-old beast chewing food suddenly stopped.
The fox looked up alertly and looked towards the door of the house.
Huai Qing then looked in the direction of Sanqiansui's eyes, and his expression quickly showed a little doubt.
Only Xiaoqi was still confused.
Huai Qing stood up quietly and tiptoed along the exterior wall of the private room toward the other end of the room.
There are only two elegant halls on the third floor of Yuzhu Building, and Yaochi Yuli and Tianchun Yingyu are two connected rings.
After a while, Huai Qing came back.
"Let's go now." He picked up the hat on the table, "It's not right next door."
"Yes...what happened?"
"The murderous aura is a bit heavy."
"Murderous aura?" Xiaoqi widened his eyes, "Who killed whom?"
"I don't know, anyway, it's tense," Huai Qing counted the dishes on the table. "There are three dishes left but they haven't served. Let them prepare them later and send them home."
"Okay!" Sanqiansui raised his claws to express his agreement.
"——You all wait!" Xiao Qi jumped up, "Have you made something wrong? How could you have murderous intent?"
Huai Qing said, "I didn't look closely. There were a few people standing by their window. They should be all monks. If they approached rashly, they would definitely be aware of... Why, do you know the person opposite?"
Xiaoqi didn't know how to answer, "I... just saw a friend...got over."
The three of them looked at each other in a glance.
...
Soon, Xiao Qi and his party left Tianchun Yingyu. When checking out, Xiao Qi ordered a few extra roast gooses with complicated expressions. During the polite joke with the shopkeeper, the two of them gradually disappeared on the street at the front door of the Yuzhu Building.
Xiaoqi ran wildly on the street in the afternoon with San Qiansui in his arms.
"Slow down," Sanqiansui said lazily, "Don't be so anxious..."
"How far will it take to go back."
“Three streets.”
Xiaoqi frowned. She didn't eat much at noon anyway, so she was neither hungry nor full of support now. Holding a fox would not affect her running speed at all.
She used several roast gooses and Sanqiansui to make a deal so that the latter could take her into the Yaochi Yuli's room to see. If the breath of the three people was hidden directly next door, it would almost be an obvious reminder to the other party, "We have a ghost here", so we could only pretend to leave first.
Sweat was oozing in Xiaoqi's palm.
During the short break, the girl couldn't help but look back and look at the towering Jade Candle Tower behind her.
What kind of father and son will have murderous aura when they meet...
"Huai Qing," Xiao Qi suddenly had a flash of inspiration, "Don't go back with me later, you'll be here to guard."
"……Why?"
"If an hour has passed, Ji Ran and I have not come out yet, you can go back and tell this matter immediately-"
Xiao Qi was a little hesitant at the moment.
Brother Wu is not at home, otherwise he would just ask Huai Qing to go home and call someone;
As for the sister and brother-in-law, as well as the Master Du Tianshi and Lord Yin... they are all on Daizong Mountain now, and the far water cannot save the near fire.
So what about telling your father and mother?
No, no - Last time, Li fell into the water in the middle of the night in order to find her. If Wei Xingzhen hadn't happened to pass by her mother, something might have happened.
As for Brother Six, what kind of person he is, I still can’t figure it out for the time being…
