Ning Shu dipped her hand in water and wrote down the suspicious points found in the case stroke by stroke. Her white fingertips left a string of transparent question marks on the table. The more she wrote, the more doubts she had, which made her even more confused.
The first two cases had at least ten days for her to slowly unravel the mystery, but this time, there were only thirty-two hours left in five days. She couldn't help but be nervous. If this case couldn't be solved on time, it didn't matter whether she was dead or alive, but would it become the fuse that directly destroyed her entire Duke's Public House? The price was too high. She couldn't gamble, and she couldn't afford to gamble!
A hand reached over and grasped her fingers that kept moving. The owner of the hand said, "Don't think about it for the time being. Tomorrow morning, She Yan and Tianwen should have some results. Before that, let go of your brain first. Jiusi said that the sunset was beautiful today, so the moon should be good tonight. Take a look for me. "
That hand belonged to Xiahou Qing. As soon as it grasped her fingertips, it was like the five fingers of a zither player gently waving. It tickled her heartstrings. A little bit of sweetness, a little bit of sourness, a little bit of numbness. It made half of her heart melt, and the other half restless for no reason.
Her brain calmed down invisibly, as if it found a golden bell for her wandering heart.
Feeling the warmth from his palm, Ning Shu closed her eyes and exhaled softly. When she opened her eyes again, she smiled and said, "Okay."
She raised her left hand to lift the corner of the curtain and looked out. She gazed at the bright moon that was like a plate after the thin clouds had dispersed. The stars twinkled faintly. The wind swept across ninety thousand li, blowing into the dense treetops and also into the carriage, brushing against her and his body.
Her eyes were like a mirror, reflecting the clear moon in the sky. She was afraid to disturb the tranquility of the moon, so she whispered, "The moon is really good tonight. The silver light is like a wash, and the stars are drunk."
"Is it? It's really beautiful."
"Mm."
They didn't talk anymore. One quietly admired the moon, and the other admired the heartbeat under his palm. No one moved. The white brilliance of the moon silently poured on their intertwined hands, as if it should grow together.
As usual, the carriage stopped in front of Duke Ning.
Ning Shu thought for a moment before getting off the carriage and asked, "Has Your Highness ever coaxed other girls like this before?"
When Xiahou Qing heard this, he raised his eyebrows and said with interest, "Of course there is."
The jealousy in Ning Shu's heart suddenly overflowed. She questioned, "Who is it?"
The corners of Xiahou Qing's mouth curled up slightly, "The youngest daughter of the wet nurse in the residence, she's only four years old."
Ning Shu blushed slightly after drinking a mouthful of vinegar for no reason. Fortunately, her face was naturally as thick as a city wall. She didn't mind and instead said domineeringly, "Then you're not allowed to do that in the future, even if it's a little girl."
Xiahou Qing's finger was propped on the side of his forehead. Finally, a rare smile appeared on his lips. It was like a strong wine that could make people drown in it with just a glance. He said in a flirtatious manner, "Okay."
This one word made Ning Shu dizzy for a long time. It wasn't until the carriage of the Duke of Nanping's residence was far away that she realized that she couldn't hide the smitten smile on her face.
She hurriedly covered her cheeks with her hands and forced herself to pull back the restraint that she had run thousands of miles away. She stuck out her tongue and turned to walk back to the gate with a smile.
Just as she was about to step through the gate, a figure suddenly turned out from behind the dense shadows of the trees on the opposite side of the road and let out a cold laugh.
Ning Shu immediately turned back in alarm.
That person held the tree with one hand and a wine pot with the other. He slowly walked into her sight from the dense shadows. His eyes were red, filled with ridicule and anger.
"You can't even recognize my voice. Shu 'er, you really have a cold heart!"
Xiao Yunyi?!
