Chu Junxiu didn't expect Xia Luotong to be so difficult to talk to, and it seemed like he didn't want to stay with him for a moment longer. He kept thinking about leaving, which immediately aroused the unyielding will in his heart!
"Why is the girl so heartless? After all, I helped the girl just now. Doesn't the girl even want to say her name?" Chu Junxiu had no choice but to continue leaning against the door, standing with Xia Luotong by the door. Break it apart.
"A Tong, is that okay?" Xia Luotong thought about it. Not only did he let himself stay in this room just now, but he also didn't do any harm to himself when the poison was spreading. He couldn't appear too cold and ruthless, right?
"Atong? What a good name!"
Seeing his sighing look, Xia Luotong rolled his eyes, what's the good thing? The expression on his face is too exaggerated!
Seeing the roll of his eyes at her, Chu Junxiu smiled inwardly and became more and more interested in her identity.
Atong doesn't even want to say her last name, and she doesn't know whether her name is real or fake, so her identity seems a bit intriguing.
Being able to be called a distinguished guest by Shopkeeper Zhao, who owns the Yusheng Pavilion under the name of Zuo Xiangfu, and also knows Prince An Wu Zechen and Liu Yingxue, the legitimate daughter of You Xiangfu, her identity is definitely not simple.
However, he has never seen her in Beijing?
"Can I leave?"
Chu Junxiu's thoughts were interrupted. Looking at Xia Luotong who looked a little impatient in front of him, he suddenly opened the folding fan and showed a meaningful smile.
"Miss Atong knows Prince An?"
"do not know."
Xia Luotong's heart skipped a beat and he denied it without hesitation. He didn't expect that he would suddenly say such a sentence. The topic changed so quickly that he almost lost his expression.
Seeing the profound expression on his face, I felt a little unsure. Could this man know his identity?
After thinking about it, he felt that it shouldn't be the case, otherwise there was no need for him to deceive himself like this. He probably noticed Wu Zechen who had just passed by and suddenly hid in his private room due to contact with him, so he had doubts in his heart, so he asked this question.
Although she answered very quickly and her expression was flawless, Chu Junxiu still noticed something was wrong.
It seems that this woman must be related to Wu Zechen.
His eyes were deep and he spoke again: "Does that mean you know Miss Liu Yingxue Liu?"
"Yes, I accidentally offended her before, so when I saw her passing by just now, I panicked and hid in." Xia Luotong's expression was calm, and his face remained unchanged even when he lied.
She knew that the other party had suspicions, so she couldn't deny it blindly, otherwise it would not make sense why she suddenly hid in his private room.
Chu Junxiu's expression changed when he heard what she said, but he didn't completely believe her words.
Nothing else but intuition.
He has always trusted his intuition, and this intuition has allowed him to avoid many dangers.
At this time, his intuition told him that the woman in front of him was lying. The real reason why she hid in this private room should be because of Prince An Wu Zechen!
He didn't expect her to react so quickly, and she even tried to confuse his judgment.
His eyes flickered, his interest in her became stronger and stronger, and he was also curious about her identity.
"The way you looked just now, you must have been poisoned, right? Do you want me to find a doctor for you?" Chu Junxiu knew that even if he pressed her, she wouldn't tell the truth, so he simply talked about something else.
"Yes, I was poisoned, but the poison is almost gone, so I'm fine." There was no need to panic at this point, so she didn't bother to make any more excuses. Even a fool could see such obvious symptoms.
Although he had already guessed it, Chu Junxiu was still surprised by her calm appearance and couldn't help but look at her a little higher.
After all, he saw what happened when she was poisoned just now.
He vomited blood on the spot. Looking at the black and purple color, he was probably poisoned. And even though she was unconscious and frowning at that time, she still bit her lip tightly and didn't cry out in pain at all, which shows how much she can endure it.
"Who poisoned you?"
"What does it have to do with you?" Xia Luotong glanced at him, not intending to continue talking about this matter.
"I care about you, right? You helped me yesterday. Maybe I can help you with this matter?"
"No need, you have helped me today, and we are clear." Xia Luotong drew the line without hesitation.
This man's identity was Wu Ninghou, a serious marquis, and according to Zhuxuan's words, he was once a person with power, not an idle title, so she didn't want to get involved too much.
But the more anxious she looked to clear up the relationship, the more Chu Junxiu didn't want to let her go.
Seeing that she wanted to come over and open the door again, he suddenly curled up the corner of his lips, revealed a meaningful smile, and talked about something else.
"I heard that something big happened in the Zhao and Xie mansions last night. I wonder if Miss Atong heard about it?"
Xia Luotong's heart skipped a beat, but when he looked at Chu Junxiu, his expression was calm and there was nothing unusual about him.
She didn't know why Chu Junxiu suddenly mentioned this matter, but he was also in Yusheng Pavilion yesterday, and it was very possible that he was also present when the argument broke out at the door.
Could it be that he noticed something?
She was very confident in her poisoning method, and believed that even if the other party noticed something strange, it was definitely just suspicion. As for the poisoning process, it was absolutely impossible for him to see clearly.
But even so, she had to be cautious.
Chu Junxiu saw that her expression had not changed, and her face did not reveal anything, as if she was really just gossiping.
"I heard that Zhao Qiulan and Xie Fenfen... Oh, by the way, they are the two ladies who stopped you at the entrance of Yusheng Pavilion yesterday. After returning home in the evening, for some reason, they suddenly developed a red rash all over their body, and there were also red rashes on their heads. They have pustules, which I heard is extremely scary, and now there are rumors in the capital that the two of them have contracted an infectious disease!"
"Oh? It seems that they have done too many evil things and must be punished by God." Xia Luotong said casually.
He pretended not to hear Chu Junxiu's deliberate emphasis on "stopping her".
"I think so too. Ridiculous remarks like poisoning are absolutely nonsense. I believe that this matter has nothing to do with Miss Atong!" Chu Junxiu looked at Xia Luotong with trust, but that The slight smile on the corner of his mouth has a deeper meaning no matter how he looks at it.
Regarding Chu Junxiu's weird and mean look, Xia Luotong rolled his eyes at him again and didn't bother to respond.
"Thank you very much for your trust, Mr. Chu Xiaohou! Let's talk some other time. There are still people waiting at my place. Can Mr. Chu Xiaohou give in?"
"You're welcome, let's see you another day." Chu Junxiu knew that he couldn't get anything out of the question, so he immediately took a step aside, with a smile on his face, and gently shook his folding fan in a gesture of invitation.
Xia Luotong glanced at the folding fan in his hand and couldn't help but reply: "It's winter, Mr. Chu Xiaohou, it's better not to swing the fan. This is not only unfashionable, but also looks very stupid!"
After that, regardless of Chu Junxiu's suddenly frozen expression, he waved his hand coolly, opened the door and left.
