How could it be different?
Previously, she had seen the scene of He Qingxiao being hit on the head by a flower pot falling from the sky, and her head was bleeding, and she had seen the scene of He Qingxiao being stabbed in the abdomen with a dagger by the person who arrested him.
In order to repay He Qingxiao's help, she reminded him that these things did not happen. But this time, she didn't say anything.
etc--
Xin You's mind suddenly thought of a possibility: Maybe He Qingxiao's avoidance of the disaster in the picture had nothing to do with her at all!
Without her reminder, he would have avoided the flowerpot falling from the sky; without her reminder, he would have avoided the dagger stabbing him; without her reminder, he would have avoided the poison in the tea...
From the beginning, her reminders were of little use to him.
These thoughts flashed through Xin You's mind, and she spoke with a pale face: "I accidentally saw the waiter put the tea on that table on the way upstairs while carrying the tea."
As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes fell on the guy.
"Tell me, what's going on!" A Jinlin guard lifted the boy up.
The waiter trembled: "I think, I remember! I came out from the back hall with tea. There happened to be a table of guests who said that the tea was spilled, so I put the tea on the table and wiped the table. .”
"Which table?"
The guy's eyes moved and he looked at a table.
The table was very close to the countertop, just two or three steps away.
The people at that table turned pale with fright, and said hurriedly: "We haven't spilled any tea!"
The waiter looked carefully and said hesitantly: "It's the guests sitting here, but not them. Maybe the guests changed later, and the villain is mainly responsible for the upstairs. I don't know..."
Another waiter who was busy in the lobby quickly said: "I still have some impressions. There were two guests at this table before, and the current guests came after those two guests paid and left."
The waiter from before quickly added: "When I went to clean the table, there was only one customer sitting there."
"Where is he sitting?" He Qingxiao asked calmly.
"Sit on this chair." The clerk pointed in the direction facing the countertop.
In other words, the people sitting here have a panoramic view of the stage.
He Qingxiao was silent for a moment, then looked at Xin You: "When Miss Kou saw the waiter put down the tea and wiped the table, did you notice if anyone was passing by the table?"
"I saw a man going over there." Xin You pointed.
Since He Qingxiao did not die as shown in the picture, there is no need for her to hide it. Finding the person who poisoned her may lead to new gains.
Besides, she wasn't necessarily the only one in the lobby who noticed this.
As Xin You expected, two other people in the lobby noticed the man passing by the table. One of them noticed him by chance, and the other met him on the way back from the cleaning room.
It's a pity that no one, including the waiter at the teahouse, could tell the identity of the guests at that table.
He Qingxiao ordered his men: "Write down the names and addresses of the people present and let them go back first."
The two men looked at each other.
Your Excellency is really kind-hearted. If it were any other adults, these people would all be put in jail.
When Jin Linwei asked about Duan Shaoqing, He Qingxiao motioned to his men to ask others.
"I disturbed Mr. Duan."
Faced with He Qingxiao's politeness, Duan Shaoqing did not dare to make excuses and said hurriedly: "Master He, just be fine."
"I would also like to thank Miss Kou for the information." He Qingxiao looked at Xin You.
At this moment, Xin You finally regained her composure and showed an impeccable smile: "Master He, you are so polite. I hope you can find the person who poisoned me soon."
"It's busy here, Miss Kou, please go back with your uncle as soon as possible."
Duan Shaoqing twitched the corner of his mouth.
It was really inappropriate for young men and women, who were neither relatives nor friends, to have a lively conversation in front of him, an elder.
When he thought about He Qingxiao's identity, he could only criticize her, but he didn't dare to show it on his face. Duan Shaoqing said a few polite words and couldn't wait to take Xin You out of the teahouse.
People were coming and going outside the teahouse, and the aroma of wine came from the Yuelai Restaurant opposite.
Duan Shaoqing breathed a sigh of relief and called a carriage to take Xin You back to Qingsong Bookstore.
When the carriage started, a bare hand lifted the curtains, revealing the girl's calm face.
"Uncle, don't forget to tell grandma."
Before Duan Shaoqing could respond, the plain curtain fell and the carriage creaked forward.
Duan Shaoqing's face was painted with a layer of black paint and he strode towards the Taipusi Yamen.
Back in the east courtyard, Xin You went into the back room and sat on the bed, lost in thought.
Since He Qingxiao could avoid those disasters and the scene in the picture would not exist, then why could she see such a scene?
Isn't this a contradiction?
For the first time, Xin You had doubts about his special abilities.
Xiaolian's voice came from outside the door: "Girl, do you want some tea?"
When Xin You heard the word "drink tea", she laughed to herself.
Sure enough, she had no luck taking shortcuts, and He Qingxiao's life still had to be taken by herself.
The intolerance, struggle, and contradictions she felt while waiting for the man upstairs to take the poison all turned into laughter at this moment, which made Xin You calm down.
"Bring it in."
Xiaolian walked in with a tray and handed a cup of tea to Xinyou.
Xinyou took it and took a sip.
"girl."
"how?"
There was worry that could not be hidden in Xiaolian's eyes: "If there is anything I can do, just give me your orders."
Xin You curled her lips slightly: "Okay."
"My maid, tell the truth! Although my maid is not very capable, as long as the girl orders you, I will do my best to do it."
Xin You put down the tea cup: "Then you should pay attention to the news outside these two days to see if there is anything about Mr. He."
"Master He?"
"Yes. Mr. He was poisoned in the teahouse today, and the murderer is currently being traced——"
"Master He, are you okay?" Xiao Lian covered her mouth and exclaimed.
Seeing Xiaolian's worry, Xinyou had a complicated mood: "He's fine. I was also in the teahouse at the time, so I'm curious about the follow-up. Don't pry deliberately to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings."
"My maid understands."
After a moment of silence, Xin You asked: "Xiaolian, what kind of person do you think Mr. He is?"
"Master He is a good person." Xiaolian said without hesitation.
Xin You smiled: "So sure?"
"A person like Mr. He who helps strangers without asking for anything in return can't be a bad person, right?"
"Yeah, he's not a bad person." Xin You murmured.
But good people will also obey others' orders and owe blood debts.
Xin You didn't go out for the next few days. Xiao Lian paid close attention and didn't hear any discussion about He Qingxiao. It was as if the poisoning in the teahouse had never happened.
Until this day, He Qingxiao stepped into Qingsong Bookstore and saw Xin You reading books deep in the bookshelf.
It was dusk, but He Qingxiao recognized at a glance that she was flipping through the travel notes he had been reading earlier.
He Qingxiao's eyes darkened and he walked over.
Xinyou looked over.
He Qingxiao stood beside her: "The light is not good, Miss Kou carefully hurt her eyes."
