Xu Nuo's reaction was normal, and his expression was the same when he answered. It was impossible to tell that he was hiding anything.
"Is that all? Which street did you go to for the lantern festival, and where did you go for the lantern puzzles? Are there any exquisite lanterns or interesting lantern fans? Tell me."
Lu Yijian still smiled and changed into a comfortable posture, as if she was ready to have a long conversation.
Seeing that Xu Nuo didn't answer, he continued: "I heard that Dalang said that he won a boy from the Yan family and a classmate from Yingtian Academy in guessing lantern riddles that day, and got a dictionary. I wonder if you met them when you were guessing lantern riddles?"
Xu Nuo smiled naturally and said calmly: "If uncle is worried about my ninth cousin, I can go to the Lu Mansion to stay with her before dinner."
After Lu Jiuniang heard the rumors, she immediately sent someone to deliver a letter to Xu Nuo, recounting what happened that day, focusing on the bastard's pursuit of her.
Later, Xunuo heard the rumors outside and went out to inquire about it personally. At the same time, he also knew Lu Jiuniang's current condition, so it was easy to understand why Lu Yijian was looking for her today.
At this moment, although she brought the matter out clearly, she did not answer Lu Yijian's question.
This matter is related to Lu Jiuniang. If you want to talk about the situation that day, you must ask her what she meant.
Moreover, I was really embarrassed to say that a woman disguised herself as a man and went to a brothel.
Xu Gucheng had been drinking tea quietly beside him without saying a word, but now he muttered: "This matter is related to your ninth cousin's reputation. Tell your uncle the truth."
It was the first time he spoke to Xu Nuo in such a serious tone, just because he was really worried about Xu Nuo and didn't want her to be in any danger.
Xu Nuo naturally noticed the change in Xu Gucheng's tone, and immediately sat up straight and looked at him.
Seeing Xu Gucheng's eyes showed concern instead of questioning. Xu Nuo relaxed a little and asked, "Dad, do you want me to tell you what happened that day in detail?"
She will do whatever Xu Gucheng asks.
That day, after bandaging Xiao Yuan's wound, she chatted with Hu Ling for a while and explained the relationship between them. Not long after that, she heard extremely light footsteps coming from outside.
Even under the interference of the noise outside the house, Xu Nuo and Hu Ling, two people with rabbit ears, were still keenly aware of the martial arts practitioners approaching quickly.
She immediately held the dagger to the door.
Hu Ling was also standing by the window with a whip.
Be prepared to capture anyone at any time.
The visitor seemed to know that there was someone in the house. Knock gently.
Three long and two short.
Then he said in a very soft voice: "Xiao Sike is in the house. I am Little Scissors."
After Hu Ling heard the sound, the vigilance in his body disappeared instantly.
Xu Nuo gave her a strange look.
"An acquaintance." Hu Ling told Xu Nuo with his mouth.
Xu Nuo took a deep look at Hu Ling and then at Xiao Yuan, who was lying on the couch. Facing the outside, he asked softly: "What's the matter?"
"I brought medicine." Little Scissors said.
Little Scissor was the little eunuch beside the queen who had contact with Xiao Yuan. She almost grew up with Xiao Yuan.
The queen and the emperor had been admiring the lanterns earlier. When the emperor went to take a bath, the queen told him a rough address and asked him to go out with the medicine.
He saw a pool of blood at the address the queen said.
Then he traced extremely subtle traces and found another trace of a fight.
And then. He found it here.
Xunuo held the dagger in one hand and pushed the door open with the other hand. Look out alertly.
A small dark face appeared in front of her.
His eyes were big and black, and he looked like an honest man.
When Little Scissors saw the door opened, without saying a word, she immediately took the medicine and went to bandage Xiao Yuan again. Promise to help.
After bandaging Xiao Yuan, Xiao Jianzi said that he would be responsible for sending Xiao Yuan back to the Xiao family, and asked Xu Nuo and Hu Ling to go back first. To avoid family suspicion.
Xu Nuo saw that he was familiar with Hu Ling, and heard Hu Ling tell the origin of the little scissors. Then he felt relieved, took the dagger back, and left with Hu Ling.
"Liu Niang, my uncle is not questioning you. The main reason is that Jiu Niang's child's appearance these days has made me a little worried. That's why I came to ask you what happened when you arrived that day." Lu Yijian was afraid of misunderstanding Xu Nuo, so he explained like this.
"We wore men's clothes and went to Wanxiang Tower to watch the lion dance there..."
Xu Nuo's voice was very calm, and he spoke in a narrative tone, but everything after meeting Xiao Yuan was replaced by guessing lantern riddles.
Soon after, Xu Nuo put on his cloak and followed Lu Yijian to the Lu family.
Xu Gucheng looked at her leaving back with a very complicated expression.
"Su Ye."
As soon as he finished speaking, a dark shadow fell beside him.
"The person who gave you the news that day and helped you find Jingping was Xiao Silang?"
"Go back to Alang, it's him."
"Okay, go and find out what he did in Suzhou last spring."
"yes."
Xu Gucheng walked back to the study, picked up the wolf pen and wrote a few words before stopping.
I stood up and walked around the study twice, sat down again, and picked up my pen again.
But he still put down his pen after writing a few words.
He couldn't calm down?
During the period when Liu Niang was missing and Wan Niang was depressed, he did not write a word or paint a picture, precisely because he could not calm down.
But since then, this situation has never happened.
Now I can't calm down anymore.
Is what happened to the child Liu Niang good luck or bad luck?
Liu Niang has a parenting relationship with King Xu's posthumous son, whom the emperor attaches great importance to. If she makes good use of this relationship, she will definitely become the most comfortable person in the entire Bianjing City, not to mention having no worries about food and clothing in the future.
But if she doesn't want to, then he won't go against her wishes and run this relationship.
Xiao Yuan is one of the few close confidants around the Queen. Although he is still living in the shadows now, when the Queen is firmly seated in the throne, Xiao Yuan will surely become famous one day.
He admires such a stable and forbearing young man.
But he didn't want Liu Niang to have too much contact with Xiao Yuan, who had not yet become famous.
To contact Xiao Yuan at this time is to put yourself in the sight of the killer who is chasing Xiao Yuan.
Xu Gucheng was worried about what Xiao Yuan was worried about, so Xiao Yuan rarely saw Xu Nuo in public.
He didn't want to put her in danger.
While Xu Gucheng couldn't calm down, Xu Nuo had already met Lu Jiuniang.
When Lu Jiuniang saw Xu Nuo, she looked aggrieved and almost cried.
After all the people waiting in the room left, Lu Jiuniang complained: "Why did you tell dad? Then I will become a disciple who slanders the Lu family."
Xu Nuo threw a handkerchief to her and said with a smile: "You are a lady, what does it have to do with my children, and how can you bring discredit to the Lu family?"
Lu Jiuniang was stunned for a moment, then she pursed her lips high and said with a bit of pride: "My father raised me as a man, so I am naturally a descendant of the Lu family."
"How can any man pout like that?" Xu Nuo looked disgusted. He picked up the exquisite small porcelain plate on the table and put the square snacks into his mouth one after another. (To be continued)
