Although Jiang Nianjiao felt embarrassed only because of Lu Zhizhang's arrival, both of them were relatively calm, so the Zheng family didn't think much about it.
Jiang Nianjiao and Lu Zhizhang occasionally get back together, but they are like two parallel lines that never intersect and never intersect with each other.
For a moment, an awkward atmosphere circulated among them.
But they were the ones who were embarrassed. The Zheng family was not embarrassed, and the old lady of the Zheng family was an average social expert.
Seeing that Lu Zhizhang was only eating without cooking, the old lady of the Zheng family immediately picked up a large piece of chicken and put it into Lu Zhizhang's bowl. "Xiao Lu, eat vegetables. Do you think the rice cooked by aunt is not delicious?"
After hearing what the old lady said, Lu Zhizhang immediately shook his head and said no.
The old lady was happy, so she only talked to Lu Zhizhang after that, "Xiao Lu, do you have a partner?"
This question is so classic.
Lu Zhizhang was also choked by the old lady's question.
He thought for a moment and said cautiously, "No."
When Lu Zhizhang said no, the old lady became even more excited. Her eyes were like an old hen seeing her little cub.
"You haven't dated a partner yet. I think you're old enough to date a partner. How can you do it without a girl by your side to take care of your daily life!"
Lu Zhizhang also tried to stop the old lady from talking. He thought about it and said, "I have maids to take care of me in my daily life, and I had a wife before, but I was useless. I didn't protect her well and let her be taken care of by bad people." harmed."
After hearing this answer, the old lady was silent for a while. She said, "I just said, "How can a young man like you not have a wife? That's quite regrettable."
But then she changed the subject again, "But there is no woman around, so this won't work after all. Are you looking for her again now?"
After hearing what the old lady of the Zheng family said, Lu Zhizhang didn't know what to do with the old lady.
The old lady of the Zheng family thought that he agreed with her point of view, so the old lady just said, "Oh, you have such a good appearance. I have a niece in my hometown who also has a beautiful face. If you two are together, the child born will be so beautiful." How beautiful is she? How about I introduce you to her?"
Jiang Nianjiao couldn't help but chuckle when she heard that the old lady from the Zheng family was just trying to grow beautiful peas.
Hearing Jiang Nianjiao chuckle, Lu Zhizhang couldn't help but glance at Jiang Nianjiao.
Jiang Nianjiao naturally felt his gaze, so Jiang Nianjiao immediately suppressed the smile on her face and put on a serious face.
Her stern face actually made Lu Zhizhang look away, and then he whispered to the old lady of the Zheng family, "Thank you, Auntie, for your love, but I already belong to someone else. Apart from her, I don't think I can fall in love with anyone else in my life." The old lady should not delay her niece."
Upon hearing this, the old lady was no longer busy trying to secure a match. She just gossiped, "Since your heart belongs to someone, then you should come to propose marriage as soon as possible."
However, Lu Zhizhang gave a pale smile and said, "It's impossible for us."
After hearing Lu Zhizhang's words, the old lady still wanted to gossip. However, when people at the table saw Lu Zhizhang's expression of tears, they all thought that Lu Zhizhang was talking about his deceased wife. After all, there were rumors outside about how deeply he loved his deceased wife. .
So when she saw that something was wrong, the daughter-in-law of the old lady of the Zheng family immediately stopped the old lady and said, "Mom, don't ask these questions. Why do you keep asking about other people's sad things? Besides, the food is almost cold. Let's It’s better to eat the food quickly!”
With the Zheng family's daughter-in-law disrupting the situation, the atmosphere suddenly became much more relaxed.
Lu Zhizhang stopped talking, but at that moment he still glanced at Jiang Nianjiao again.
And the real her in his heart was her from the beginning, and it could only be her in the end.
Shortly after the meal, Zheng Mi'an suddenly remembered Jiang Nianjiao's request. He thought that Lu Zhizhang had also been handling other cases recently, and he actually knew the files in the archives best.
Thinking of this, Zheng Mi'an first looked at Jiang Nianjiao, "Princess, this Xiao Lu is the most knowledgeable about cases. He will definitely know about the archives when we ask him, so look at what you just said. How about I take it and ask Xiao Lu?"
Hearing Zheng Mi'an's words, Jiang Nianjiao naturally knew what he was talking about, but when she thought about it, it was not an important matter, and she didn't want people to know that her relationship with Lu Zhizhang was tense, so Jiang Nianjiao just smiled and said "Of course! If Mr. Lu can provide clues, that would be great."
Although Jiang Nianjiao said thank you to Lu Zhizhang, her face did not turn to look at Lu Zhizhang at all.
After the words fell, Zheng Mi'an couldn't help turning his head to look at Lu Zhizhang, who looked confused, "Xiao Lu, you usually go in and out of the archives. I suddenly remembered something. Can I ask you?"
Faced with Zheng Mi'an's inquiry, Lu Zhizhang naturally just nodded, "Of course."
Seeing Lu Zhizhang nodded, Zheng Mi'an also told Lu Zhizhang about Jiang Nianjiao's request.
"Xiao Lu, it's like this. Princess Jin once picked up an unconscious girl on the lower reaches of the Weishui River on the morning of October 21st. The girl didn't remember anything. Princess Jin had good intentions. , and took the girl back to the palace, but after being brought back to the palace, the girl seemed to have some memories again. She remembered that she seemed to have been robbed by a group of strong men. She fled all the way, but had nowhere to escape, so in the end she I chose to jump off a cliff.”
"I think there should be some records of this case, so I want to ask you, do you still remember if there were any relevant records on the official road of the Weishui River on the 21st?"
Hearing Zheng Mi'an's inquiry, Lu Zhizhang seemed a little stunned for a moment, and he did not speak for a long time.
Zheng Mi'an only thought that Lu Zhizhang didn't remember this, so he immediately said, "But since you don't remember, it doesn't matter. I will go to the archives to find out the situation tomorrow morning. This problem doesn't matter." big."
After saying that, the old lady of the Zheng family happened to ask her daughter-in-law to bring some more fruits to the table, so Zheng Mi'an then just motioned for everyone to eat some fruits after dinner.
After dinner, Jiang Nianjiao saw that it was getting late, so after a brief chat, she also planned to leave.
Unexpectedly, just after she said goodbye, Lu Zhizhang actually stood up and said goodbye.
This time, Jiang Nianjiao couldn't help but take another look at Lu Zhizhang.
Zheng Mi'an didn't think much about it. He just said, "Okay, okay, okay, you can go!"
Or the old lady of the Zheng family suddenly remembered something, "By the way, Xiao Lu. Didn't you say you came to see my old Zheng for something? But you haven't said anything yet."
Hearing the words of the old lady of the Zheng family, Zheng Mi'an only remembered this matter, and Lu Zhizhang couldn't help but stop at this moment. He looked at the old lady and said, "Yes, but it's getting late today, and the curfew will be in place soon." , I think it’s time for me to go back. As for my matters, it’s not too late to talk to Mr. Zheng tomorrow.”
As soon as the words fell, Lu Zhizhang was ready to leave.
The two of them watched Lu Zhizhang leave. When the old lady turned around, she couldn't help but say, "This young man is quite good-looking, and he's not looking for a wife. It's a pity."
After hearing the old lady's words, everyone just chuckled tacitly.
Jiang Nianjiao, who was at the door, naturally got on the carriage and prepared to go to Wangliufang.
At this time, Lu Zhizhang and his servant were also ready to go to another road.
Jiang Nianjiao breathed a sigh of relief when she discovered that Lu Zhizhang was not following him.
However, this tone was not fully implemented.
Just before Jiang Nianjiao entered Wangliu Street, she suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves coming from outside. At the same time, someone seemed to be forcing her carriage to stop.
Before the servants came to tell her what happened, Jiang Nianjiao opened the curtain first.
Sure enough, it was Lu Zhizhang who was sitting on the horse outside the carriage.
When she saw Lu Zhizhang, Jiang Nianjiao couldn't help but asked, "Why did Master Lu force me to stop my carriage?"
When Jiang Nianjiao asked, Lu Zhizhang only whispered, "I remember the case on October 21st. Aren't you curious?"
Unexpectedly, Lu Zhizhang would mention this matter to her. Jiang Nianjiao was stunned, but she nodded afterwards. She looked at Lu Zhizhang cautiously and said, "You remember the case on the 21st, but you didn't tell me at the time. Why?" ? Do you want to make a deal with me at this time?"
Lu Zhizhang nodded when he heard this, "Yes! I want you to take me to meet the amnesiac girl you mentioned."
Hearing Lu Zhizhang's words, Jiang Nianjiao breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, she also realized that Xiao Zi might be related to the case that Lu Zhizhang was investigating in front of her.
So Jiang Nianjiao immediately said, "Of course there is no problem in letting you see Xiaozi, but you have to tell me first what happened on October 21st by the Weishui River? If you can't tell me this, then I will I cannot agree to your request."
Lu Zhizhang had no intention of hiding it, and he actually couldn't hide it, so Lu Zhizhang took the initiative to tell Jiang Nianjiao about the tragedy that happened on the official road of the Weishui River that day.
Jiang Nianjiao couldn't help but sigh when Lu Zhizhang mentioned the tragedy that day. Who would have thought that such a bad thing would happen in the safe Guandao Inn.
After Lu Zhizhang explained what happened to the servants in the servant's house, he only specifically mentioned one very key figure to Jiang Nianjiao, "Actually, there was one more key figure whose whereabouts were unknown at that time. That was Zi Juan. girl."
"When I heard what you said about such a coincidence today, I was also wondering if the amnesiac girl you picked up happened to be Miss Zijuan."
Hearing Lu Zhizhang's words, Jiang Nianjiao's heart suddenly became clear. She said, "I will take Xiao Zi to the Zhou Mansion tomorrow to identify her. If she is really Zi Juan, I will bring her to you again." Yuan Bao
Hearing that Jiang Nianjiao could give such a clear answer all at once, Lu Zhizhang just smiled and said "Hello".
