"Yes! I'm sure that person is Brother Chu!" Qin Lian nodded vigorously, "But he didn't see me. I wanted to go up and ask him..."
Qin Lian said, quietly paying attention to Su Liuye's expression. Seeing that something was wrong with her, Qin Lian quickly comforted her, "A Liu, that might be just a misunderstanding. Didn't Master Xiao say it before? He has something to do with Brother Chu. Busy, when I saw them, they were indeed at the Yamen. If there was nothing to be busy with, Brother Chu and the others would not go to the capital."
"Did you see them at the Yamen? I remember that the Yamen in the capital seemed to be over there."
Su Liuye pointed in a direction.
"Yes." Qin Lian nodded subconsciously, and then realized, "A Liu, are you going to find Brother Chu?"
"I just went over to take a look."
She has not seen Chu Yan in this period of time.
But even though the two hadn't seen each other for such a long time, she still believed that Chu Yan would not do anything sorry to her. She just wanted to go over and see if anything happened to Chu Yan, otherwise he wouldn't have stayed away for so long. .
It's so weird.
Seeing that Qin Lian seemed to have misunderstood something, Su Liuye quickly explained her thoughts, but Qin Lian was still dubious.
Seeing that there was a thick layer of snow outside and it was inconvenient to travel, Qin Lian suggested to go with them.
"No, Lianlian, you stay here and watch. I'm still baking tofu in the kitchen. You go over and help me watch over it. Don't let the tofu get spoiled."
The tofu she bakes is intended to be used to make stinky tofu, and it can only be baked at an appropriate temperature until the tofu is fermented.
This process is very important, once baked, all the tofu is ruined.
Uncle Zhou and the others didn't understand this. Mr. Lu went out early in the morning to look for fresh ingredients. Qin Lian was the only one left here to see.
"but……"
"Just watch it for me. I'll be out for a while and I'll be back soon. I just went over to take a look."
"Oh well."
Seeing Su Liuye's persistence, Qin Lian had no choice but to agree.
Seeing Su Liuye put on her cloak and walked towards the falling snow, Qin Lian worriedly chased her for a few steps.
Su Liuye heard the footsteps, waved her back, pulled up her hat, and walked outside, her slender figure quickly disappeared on the street.
Qin Lian then patted her mouth in annoyance. If she had known better, she shouldn't have told Su Liuye about this! She had to investigate first.
If it's not true, isn't she trying to stir up feelings between Su Liuye and Chu Yan? If it was true, she should go to Chu Yan first and ask what was going on instead of letting Su Liuye ask it herself!
"hateful!"
Qin Lian was so angry that she stamped her feet, but there was still a lot of tofu waiting for her to see in the room.
At noon, the falling snow outside began to stop. Su Liuye also came outside the Yamen. Looking at the majestic building in front of her, she was secretly shocked. She really didn't expect the Yamen in Beijing to be so big!
"Is there a problem?"
As soon as she approached the gate, the yamen guarding her on both sides asked sharply.
Su Liuye was not afraid, "Brother Yachai, I came here to find my husband. His name is Chu Yan. Have you ever been here before?"
"Chu Yan?"
The Yamen official was stunned for a moment, and asked her to wait here. He went over to look at the book, and soon came back and said, "Did you get it wrong? There is no one named Chu Yan who comes in and out of the Yamen."
"But my sister said she saw him coming yesterday."
"It was even more missing yesterday. There is no record in the book!" The Yamen official waved the book in his hand, "Everyone who enters the Yamen needs to register on it. It is true that there is no one named Chu Yan on it. Your husband is really missing. Well, you can also report it to the Yamen, and the Yamen will naturally help you find it."
"No, thank you, my husband is only out for a few days."
Su Liuye waved his hand, if he asked the Yamen to find Chu Yan, it would probably make the matter worse.
Chu Yan had told her before that he and Xiao Yun had something to deal with and would come back when they were done, not to mention that Xiao Yun was by his side.
Thinking of Xiao Yun, Su Liuye had an idea and quickly returned to the Yamen and asked, "Two Yamen brothers, do you know Mr. Xiao Yun?"
"Master Xiao?"
They were stunned again, looking at Su Liuye with even sharper eyes, "What do you want from Mr. Xiao?"
Hearing what they said, Su Liuye immediately realized that Xiao Yun must have been to the Yamen, and immediately said, "My husband is with Master Xiao. He is probably this tall." She gestured.
Hearing that her husband was someone close to Xiao Yun, the officer immediately lowered his guard.
One of them thought for a while and said, "Master Xiao has indeed been here, and there is indeed such a man beside him." At this point, the Yamen did not want to say any more.
Su Liuye also knew that these matters were related to Xiao Yun, so she probably couldn't reveal Xiao Yun's matters.
She simply asked the man next to Xiao Yun and found that the characteristics were very similar to Chu Yan. After thinking about it, that man might really be Chu Yan.
Thinking of this, her eyes flickered slightly and she asked, "Two eldest brothers, is there a girl accompanying Mr. Xiao?"
"Why are you asking this?"
"I..." Su Liuye frowned slightly, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Seeing that she didn't speak, the officer next to her started to drive away, "If there's nothing wrong, don't stand here!"
Su Liuye also knew that the Yamen was not just a random place. Thinking of the woman Qin Lian had just mentioned, she sighed and didn't bother to ask any more questions. Maybe it was just a misunderstanding.
If Chu Yan really had another woman, he probably wouldn't bring her to the Yamen, maybe because he had something to do.
Thinking that it was getting late, she wrapped herself in a cloak and bought some ingredients at the market on her way back.
"Stop, there's a thief!"
As soon as I walked into the alley, there was a sudden shout from behind.
Su Liuye turned her head in surprise, but a dark-skinned man rushed over in a panic. Seeing her standing in the middle of the alley, the man was surprised and showed a fierce look on his face.
Su Liuye had a bad feeling in her heart, and just as she was about to run away, the man grabbed her arm and put a sharp knife on her neck.
"Don't move. If you dare to come here again, I will kill this woman!"
As the man spoke, Su Liuye clearly felt a pain in her neck, and her skin seemed to have been pierced by the tip of the knife.
Because it was winter, when the knife was pressed against her neck, in addition to pain, there was also a biting chill. The two feelings mixed together made her very uncomfortable.
Su Liuye bit her lip to endure the strange feeling. She looked up and saw a young man dressed as a bookboy chasing after him panting.
Seeing Su Liuye being held hostage, the young man turned pale and yelled quickly, "What do you want to do? Let him go quickly!"
