Chapter 272 I have nowhere to go

"Hehe, the man named Huazi doesn't know who the man was from Qingyuan Bo Mansion. He has been in the Zaoshu Hutong and has seen that man several times, so he knows that man is from Qingyuan Bo Mansion."

After Zhu Lu finished speaking, he found that the Fourth Master Chen’s face was like the frozen jade belt river. Just one glance at him, his heart was filled with coldness.

Zhu Lu's heart did not fly, but instead sank to the bottom of the valley.

Why did he forget that Miss Hua is the third girl from Uncle Qingyuan’s mansion?

Oh my, the unexplained past between the Fourth Master and Miss Hua...

Zhu Lu laughed dryly: "Haha, I'm here to tell you, two hundred taels of silver."

One clue is 200 taels of silver.

"Which teahouse, what does that person from Qingyuan Bo Mansion look like?" Chen Xiao asked coldly.

"The Dingji Teahouse on Yongming Street is about twenty years old in Qingyuan Bo Mansion, with beautiful eyes and beautiful eyes. By the way, he dressed very simply today. That was when the beggar saw him before, he was wearing silk and straight clothes, either the master of Qingyuan Bo Mansion or the gentleman of the aide." Zhu Lu said. Fortunately, he guessed that the fourth young master would ask these questions, so he had asked the beggar in detail in the morning.

"You go find spinach and let her go to the tent to give it to you." A few words came from the wind, and Chen Xiao had already turned around and left.

Zhu Lu was stunned. He really wanted to give the beggar two hundred taels of silver?

This money is too easy to make.

Does the Fourth Master know that 200 taels of silver are enough for ordinary people to eat for more than ten years?

Forget it, the Fourth Master must not know.

Hua Jingyao didn't expect Chen Xiao to come back so soon. She was about to speak when Chen Xiao said, "One of the killers may have something to do with the Qingyuan Mansion."

To Chen Xiao's surprise, Miss Hua was not surprised. She asked, "Are you sure?"

"Confirm, that beggar Huazi had seen this person many times before in Zaoshu Hutong. Think about it, is there a man in his twenties in the Qingyuan Mansion? A pretty face? When beggar saw him, he wore silk and satin..." Chen Xiao repeated what he heard from Zhu Lu.

About twenty?              Wearing silk... A person suddenly appeared in Hua Jingyao's mind.

Could it be him?

There shouldn’t be only one such person in the Qingyuan uncle’s mansion. She heard that there were young people in her uncle’s aides? And the cousin, who is eighteen years old this year? That’s about twenty years old.

"Master Hua Si, Master Hua? And the aides of Qingyuan, all three of them meet the requirements." Hua Jingyao said these three people calmly.

A trace of doubt flashed through Chen Xiao's heart. Miss Hua was talking about "Master Si Hua and Master Hua". That's how she called her fourth uncle and cousin? And she also called Master Hua as Uncle Qingyuan? Instead of her uncle.

But this doubt had just arisen? Chen Xiao vaguely felt that he knew the reason. What was the reason? He couldn't remember it, but he also felt that Miss Hua should be called this, and she did it right.

"The guy at Dingji Teahouse may know this person, so I'll ask him to inquire." Chen Xiao said.

Hua Jingyao thought about it? She said, "Then I'll let Ye Xing draw a few more portraits."

Is this going to draw a painting for Mr. Hua Si, Mr. Hua and the aide of Mr. Qingyuan?

Chen Xiao was a little envious. All the men under Miss Hua were excellent? Even this painter was divided into ordinary people.

Look at the peace and joy of your own family? Zhu Lu, who cannot see the light, right? Wu Chang also feels that he is almost dying of illness all day long...

Only He Miao is a normal person? But he has passed away.

Hua Jingyao looked at Chen Xiao? asked, "Are you staying here to see Mr. Quan's portrait, or are you going to do your business?"

Is this going to issue an order to expel guests?

Chen Xiao couldn't say it, but he still said: "I have no place to go."

Hua Jingyao couldn't believe her ears. She thought she had heard it wrong. Mr. Chen had no place to go?

Is the Duke's Mansion not big enough or large enough?

Are there not enough fun places in the capital?

He had nowhere to go, so he came to her every day to report?

But it seems that he has been here more diligently in the past two or three days, because of the case.

So after all, it was not that Mr. Chen had nowhere to go, but that the case had not progressed and he had no one to discuss it, so he came to the bookstore to find her.

Yes, this is the reason. If the eldest prince and Qin Wei were not sent by the emperor to do anything else, Chen Xiao would go to find them now.

Thinking of this, Miss Hua's heart suddenly became empty.

It’s not that Mr. Chen really wants to come to find her, but that he has no one else to discuss the case.

Yes, that's it.

Miss Hua lost all her good mood. She lazily said to Chen Xiao: "I remember, I still have something to do, I'm leaving first."

The host is leaving, can the guest still be here?

"I'm fine, I can go with you." Mr. Chen Si rushed out without thinking.

Miss Hua:...

After a while, Miss Hua walked into the breakfast shop behind Shuntian Prefecture's yamen.

Mr. Chen almost held his breath since he entered this back alley. He forced himself to do so and did not cover his nose with a veil as usual.

After the two of them sat down, Hua Jingyao asked Chen Xiao: "What do you want to eat, I'll treat you."

Chen Xiao originally wanted to say that there was an unpleasant smell of fat everywhere, but seeing that Miss Hua seemed to really want to eat, she didn't say it, just said, "I'll eat whatever you eat."

Hua Jingyao ordered each person a bowl of wontons and two tea eggs.

When the steaming wontons were brought up, Chen Xiao still didn't want to eat them, but when he saw Miss Hua scooping up a wonton with a spoon and putting it into his mouth, he suddenly felt appetite.

He imitated Miss Hua and also scooped up a wonton and took a bite. It didn't seem to be unpalatable, at least he could swallow it.

Neither of them spoke, and ate wontons silently.

At this time, Shi Yi, who was outside the door, walked in and whispered: "Zeng is here."

Hearing this, Chen Xiao put down the spoon in his hand and looked at the middle-aged woman walking in from outside.

He couldn't tell whether this Zeng was pretending to be himself.

Zeng's steps were heavy, but the ringtone that was faintly visible from his sleeve still made Hua Jingyao recognize immediately. This was Li Bu'er.

Li Bu'er sat down at another table. When she sat, she turned her body sideways, only half of a small stool. She was indeed an official slave. Even when she sat down to eat at a small stall, she looked trembling.

"Aunt Zeng, you are here, it's early today." The boss greeted her, obviously he knew her.

Li Buer said: "It's too cold. Take advantage of the quiet streets now. Come here to be warm. Can you give me a bowl of hot water?"

"If there is hot soup, do you want it? Wonton soup, don't want your money." The boss said.

"That's good, thank you." Li Bu'er stood up and couldn't help but thank him.
