In the end, Du Xing 'er did not want to show her true appearance.
If one were to say that he was ugly, how ugly should he be?
She said, "Miss, we didn't come here because of your beauty, but because we wanted to listen to your music. We will soon leave Gaoding, so we wanted to see you before we leave. Why don't you grant us our wish?" Ji Yunshu insisted on meeting her. She said, "Miss, we didn't come here for your beauty.
Du Xing 'er was silent for a long time.
She seemed to be hesitating.
Finally …
"Since that's the case, I will agree to your request."
The thin figure slowly got up and walked around the zither in front of her. A pair of delicate hands lifted the thin curtain in front of her, and she walked out with graceful steps.
At the same time!
Ji Yunshu and Jing Rong's eyes were glued to her.
The first thing that came into view was a woman dressed in red.
She was thin and not tall, but … her face was covered with a veil, revealing only her fair forehead and a pair of lovely eyes.
It was no different from being separated by a curtain.
Du Xing 'er slightly bowed to the two handsome men in front of her. "I pay my respects to the two young masters."
Ji Yunshu immediately stood up to support her. "Miss, you don't have to be so polite."
However, just as her hand touched Du Xing 'er's wrist, she promptly took a step back.
She kept her distance!
Ji Yunshu's hand awkwardly hung in the air, only retracting after a while.
"I am ugly. I was worried that I would scare you, so I had to cover my face with a silk scarf. Please forgive me, young master."
"If that's the case, I won't force you."
"Thank you!"
"If you don't mind, can we sit down and talk?"
Du Xing 'er lowered her eyes in silence for a moment, then nodded. "Yes."
She sat down.
Jing Rong picked up the teapot in front of him and poured a cup of tea for her.
Du Xing 'er replied, "Thank you."
Jing Rong chuckled without saying anything.
He was fine as long as he served as a foil.
However, just as Du Xing 'er reached for the cup of tea in front of her and was about to drink it, her hand suddenly paused. Her slightly sad eyes slowly looked up.
Then, she put the tea down.
It made a muffled sound when it was placed on the table.
She looked at the two men in front of her and said, "There is no one else here. If the two young masters have other intentions, why don't you just say it? Why beat around the bush?"
So she already knew.
Ji Yunshu and Jing Rong were not surprised.
Instead, he asked, "How do you know we have other motives?" "I've been in the Drunken Moon Pavilion for ten years, and I've seen all kinds of people. Everyone knows that my singing skills are not very good, not to mention that my reputation will be spread far and wide. Also, my real name is only known to my close sisters. How could it be spread? Just now, the manservant told me that as soon as you entered
The Drunken Moon Pavilion directly chose someone with a single name with the word "Lan" in it to sing. Wasn't this very strange? Moreover, from the moment you sat down, you didn't have the heart to listen to my singing. It was obvious that you didn't come here to listen to my singing! Just these few points alone are enough to make me suspicious. "
What a smart girl!
"That's right. We didn't come here to listen to music. We came to the Drunken Moon Pavilion to find you."
"Why?"
"Because of Du Mubai!"
"Ugh!"
Even through the veil, Ji Yunshu could clearly see a trace of astonishment and nervousness on Du Xing 'er's face.
"You know Du Mubai, right?"
"You … who are you?" Du Xing 'er's eyes showed a trace of vigilance.
Jing Rong said, "Miss, don't be afraid. We just want to ask you some things about Du Mubai."
"His … what things?"
"Did you become friends with him six years ago?"
Du Xing 'er's slender willowy eyebrows wrinkled, and her fingers tightly grasped her clothes.
She lowered her eyes and didn't say anything.
Her silence proved that she really knew Du Mubai.
Ji Yunshu asked, "We know that Du Mubai always carries a handkerchief with the words" Drunken Moon Pavilion "embroidered on it, and the word" Lan "next to it. This is also the reason why we found this place. Can you tell us what is your relationship with Du Mubai?"
"We … have no relationship." Du Xing 'er's tone was very firm, and her eyes flowed with a trace of barely visible hatred.
"Then, why is your handkerchief with him?"
"Because Young Master Du and I share the same surname, he takes good care of me. Every time he comes to the Drunken Moon Pavilion, he would ask me to sing for him. So, as a token of gratitude, I gave him the handkerchief that I always carry with me. But, I don't know why the two young masters are asking me these questions. "
"Du Mubai was killed six years ago! We suspect that the murderer was someone who had close contact with him. "
Du Xing 'er was startled. "So, you suspect me?"
"Of course not!"
"Then …"
"We just want to know, when Du Mubai came here to listen to you, who did he come with? Or … in this Drunken Moon Pavilion, did he have dealings with any men? "
Du Xing 'er's gaze suddenly tightened.
Her fingertips gripped her clothes even tighter.
It was as if whenever Du Mubai was mentioned, her expression would become somewhat abnormal.
And all of this was seen by Ji Yunshu!
Du Xing 'er averted her gaze and said, "I don't know the answers to your questions! That Young Master Du only came here to listen to my zither and sing. He didn't have a deep relationship with me. Naturally, I don't know about his matters. You've found the wrong person! "
Her voice sounded calm, but there was a trace of nervousness in it.
Ji Yunshu confirmed again, "Are you sure you don't know?"
"I don't know!" Du Xing 'er stood up and said, "The two young masters should have finished asking their questions! Today, I'll sing this song for free. Both of you, please leave. "
She ordered them to leave!
Before Ji Yunshu could call out to her, she turned around and prepared to go behind the curtain.
Unexpectedly, a cold wind blew in from outside the window.
It lifted the veil on her face!
Du Xing 'er instinctively reached out to cover the veil, but the veil was too thin and slippery. In an instant, it broke free from her fingertips.
The veil fell from her face.
The wind blew behind her.
"Ah!"
She turned around to grab …
But the veil just happened to blow towards her hand, and she caught it.
The moment Du Xing 'er turned her head back, Ji Yunshu and Jing Rong were shocked.
That face, which was supposed to be as beautiful as a fairy's, was now imprinted with a very sinister long scar.
From the nose to the chin!
It was very terrifying.
When Du Xing 'er reacted, she immediately covered her face with her hands and turned her back again.
Her whole body trembled!
Ji Yunshu and Jing Rong stood up. Their eyes were filled with disbelief and sympathy!
