Chapter 399 Strange Case
"Let's go, let's go to the bookstore."
The princess's mother will not return home until midnight. Hua Jingyao doesn't want to be the poor child who is alone waiting for her mother to come home. Since she is filial and does not allow her to visit her, she will go to her shop. This is all right.
The book shop was not open, Hua Jingyao gave the guys five days off, and both guys went home.
Shi Jia had a spare key in his hand. When he entered the door, all the houses were cold. No one was here, and no one burned the fire.
Xiao Ai found the charcoal basin and placed two charcoal basins in the house. After a long time, the room felt warm.
Hua Jingyao was quite bored. She found a new book of words and read the book while drinking tea.
Shi Jia and Xiao Ai had nothing to do, and they followed suit and found a book to read.
I don’t know how long it took, but there was a knock on the door outside.
Xiao Ai had the most ears. She heard it first and said to Shi Jia: "Oh, there are really people who love to study. They are going to buy books on the first day of the Lunar New Year."
Hua Jingyao rolled her eyelids, how could you be sure that she was a person who likes to learn to buy, but was so idle that she came to buy a storybook?
Shi Jia went to open the door, but what stood outside the door was a joy that had not seen for a long time.
"Xile, why are you here? I have finished reading the book I bought last time?" Shi Jia smiled and joked.
Xile looked helpless and said with a bitter face: "Brother Shi, don't mention the word "book" to me again in the future. Now I heard that I want to read books, so my brain hurts."
"Then are you still here? Aren't you buying books?" Shi Jia asked.
"Of course not. I came to Xun Miss Hua. My fourth son asked me to split up with Ping'an troops. He went to the eldest princess's mansion in Wutong Hutong. I went here. The fourth son went to the Qingyuan Bo Mansion. I saw that the carriage from the eldest princess' mansion was parked outside. When I asked Miss Hua, it was indeed here. Fortunately, I didn't go there in vain."
Hehe, he didn't run away in vain, it was Mr. Shen Si and Ping'an who ran away in vain.
"Mr. Shen Si is looking for my girl?" Shi Jia asked.
"Yes, please tell Brother Shi and Miss Hua that she must not leave here. I will go and report to my son and ask my son to come over."
After Xile finished speaking, she ran away.
Shi Jia returned to the house and told Hua Jingyao about finding Xile.
Hua Jingyao said strangely: "At this time, Shen Xiao should be in the palace too."
It would be fine if it was an ordinary noble child, but Shen Xiao was the only successor of the Duke of Yongguo Mansion. He had no father and brother above him. Now he represents the Duke of Yongguo Mansion, which is different from Gong Liu and others.
Shi Jia also found it strange. Perhaps Mr. Shen had something important to do and had to come out.
Hua Jingyao thought of the case in Liudaojie, and didn't know if the dragon card in Shen Xiao's hand was handed back. If it was still in his hands, wouldn't he still be able to mobilize the Feiyu Guard?
The master and servant were chatting without a word. The book shop was not too far from Qingyuan Bo Mansion. I thought Shen Xiao would come soon, but I didn't expect that Shen Xiao would come after waiting for half an hour. Although his expression was as calm as usual, Hua Jingyao found that Shen Xiao's ears were red.
Is it so cold outside? Shen Xiao, a martial arts practitioner, even his ears are red from cold?
"Sorry, I'm late." Shen Xiao apologized when he entered the door.
Xile, who was following behind him, quickly explained to his son: "Mr. Hua San's foot is injured. My son wants to treat Mr. Hua San's injury, so he came late."
Hua Jingyao was stunned. Healing the injury? Her father's foot was sprained, which was similar to her. Could it be the kind of injury she wanted to treat?
Hua Jingyao subconsciously looked down at her feet. She was wearing a long skirt, revealing only the tips of her light-hearted shoes.
Chen Xiao followed her gaze and couldn't help but look at her feet, his ears became even redder.
"Thank you for treating my father's injuries."
The little girl's sweet voice sounded in his ears, and Chen Xiao finally came to his senses. He hurriedly said, "You have to be so kind."
Hua Jingyao was not a person who was tempted to find me, so she asked, "Did you come out of the palace? Are you in a hurry to find me for the case of Liudao Street?"
"Did you know?" Chen Xiao nodded without going around in circles and said, "That's right, it's that case. I met Gong Qing in the palace. He hoped that I could participate in the investigation of this case."
"Let's go, let's go to the bookstore."
The princess's mother will not return home until midnight. Hua Jingyao doesn't want to be the poor child who is alone waiting for her mother to come home. Since she is filial and does not allow her to visit her, she will go to her shop. This is all right.

Hehe, he didn't run away in vain, the fourth young master Chen and Ping'an ran away in vain.
"Mr. Chen Si is looking for my girl?" Shi Jia asked.
"Yes, please tell Brother Shi and Miss Hua that she must not leave here. I will go and report to my son and ask my son to come over."
