Xin You's actions stunned He Qingxiao.
Does Miss Kou love this snack so much?
Looking down at the plate with only the remains left, He Qingxiao fell into deep thought: So, just now, Miss Kou ordered the waiter to take the plate away, was she going to continue eating after he left?
Because it had been left for a while, the crispy shell became a little soft. Xinyou's face did not change as he ate the food in his mouth, but in fact he almost collapsed.
I have never done such a shameful thing in my whole life.
She glanced at the young man across from her again and sighed in her heart: It was all because Shopkeeper Hu's nonsense had affected her.
Xin You picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea to suppress her embarrassment: "Master He, won't you go to the Yamen today?"
"Come to see Miss Kou to find out something." He Qingxiao pretended not to notice the intention of the girl opposite to see her off.
"Master He, please speak."
"Miss Kou, you still remember that I mentioned earlier that there is a case being investigated involving the Guchangbo Mansion, right?"
Xin You nodded slightly, her heart lifted.
The next thing she has to face is the Guchangbo Mansion, and she has to pay attention to the information about the Guchangbo Mansion.
He Qingxiao looked into Xin You's eyes: "I want to understand the reason why Miss Kou pays attention to Gu Changbo Mansion."
Xin You tightened her hand on the tea cup, and the turbulence in her heart was covered by her calm eyes: "Does my concern about Gu Changbo's Mansion have something to do with the eucalyptus that Master He is investigating?"
After many contacts, she could judge that He Qingxiao was not a foolish and loyal person, but she could not risk the secrets related to her true identity.
Just because he was not foolish and loyal did not mean that he would hide such a big matter from that person. You must know that Jinlin Guards Zhenfusi existed as the emperor's eyes and ears. Even though she was very grateful to the man in front of her, she would not naively think that he would neglect his duty for someone with whom he had nothing to do. To put it seriously, it would be the crime of deceiving the emperor.
Xin You's reaction did not surprise He Qingxiao.
Even though Miss Kou's attitude towards him recently could be described as gentle and gentle, he always knew that this girl had a big secret, and that was the boundary that would freeze her heart once others touched it.
He asked today just because he wanted to give it a try, and he was not disappointed when he didn't get an answer.
"I just didn't know if it was related, so I came to see Miss Kou to find out. If Miss Kou is inconvenient to answer, then forget it."
Xin You's erect thorns were silently put away in the calm and gentle attitude of the other party, and she smiled slightly: "Don't worry, Mr. He, what I think of Gu Changbo Mansion has nothing to do with the eucalyptus you are investigating."
The Jinlin Guards supervised hundreds of noble officials, and they didn't know what happened in the Guchangbo Mansion that led Master He to take notice. He also happened to let Master He notice her wandering outside the Guchangbo Mansion that day.
Thinking of this, Xin You looked at He Qingxiao with something strange in her eyes.
Sure enough, it was not an illusion. It was okay to get along with him normally, but once she faced this person, luck was always not on her side. But he has obviously admitted that he has not been very lucky since he was a child.
He Qingxiao was silent.
It seems that she is disliked by Miss Kou.
In fact, whatever purpose Miss Kou had towards the Guchangbo Mansion did not affect his investigation. He was just worried that she would impulsively confront the Guchangbo Mansion and use the egg to hit the stone.
Worried - Realizing that he was feeling like this, He Qingxiao suddenly couldn't sit still: "In that case, I'll take my leave."
Xin You watched him put down his teacup, stood up, and left the bookstore in a hurry, and soon disappeared.
The girl who sent people out out of politeness stood silently at the door for a long time, causing the shopkeeper and waiters to look at her with either worry or curiosity.
He Qingxiao did not go back to the Yamen, but went directly back to the Changle Marquis Mansion.
People in the Hou Mansion were not surprised that he would come back occasionally when he was in the Yamen. The Jinlin Guards Town Fusi had special responsibilities and was not the kind of Yamen that follows a step-by-step schedule.
When He Qingxiao went to Aunt Gui's place, Aunt Gui was playing with the wine jar.
"Aunt Gui, do you want to make wine?" He Qingxiao thought of the smell of lychee and osmanthus wine in Qingsong Bookstore.
Aunt Gui didn't know that she had been exposed, so she said with a smile: "I plan to make some new rice wine. This kind of rice wine is not intoxicating and has the sweetness of grapes. It is especially suitable for a girl's family to drink."
Suitable for a girl to drink...
He Qingxiao's eyes flashed, and she seemed to ask casually: "Which girl is it suitable to drink?"
"Of course it's Kou——" Aunt Gui reacted, looking embarrassed.
He Qingxiao looked helpless: "Aunt Gui, did you go to Qingsong Bookstore to find Miss Kou?"
Aunt Gui put the wine jar away, dusted off the non-existent dust on her clothes, and quickly thought of an excuse: "Oh, it's just a coincidence——"
"Aunt Gui." He Qingxiao called.
Aunt Gui was defeated: "Well, I went to see Miss Kou."
I won’t make it up. Apart from being a bit unlucky, this kid is excellent in other aspects and cannot be hidden from him.
"Why did Aunt Gui go to find Miss Kou?"
Aunt Gui raised her hands to straighten her hair: "I was going to buy books——"
"Aunt Gui."
Aunt Gui gave up her struggle completely: "Actually, I want to see what kind of girl can make the Marquis fall in love."
He Qingxiao had a vague hunch about Aunt Gui's purpose of meeting Miss Kou, but when he actually said it from her mouth, he still felt embarrassed.
Looking at the young man whose ears were quietly turning red, Aunt Gui showed a loving smile: "After seeing you, I feel relieved. Miss Kou is a very good girl, with a good birth and a better temperament. She also likes to eat the crispy yellow cake I made... …”
He Qingxiao's ears grew more and more heated as he listened, and he had to interrupt Aunt Gui: "Aunt Gui, Miss Kou is indeed very good, but she is not what you think."
Aunt Gui was surprised: "Does the Marquis not like Miss Kou?"
The girl's calm and beautiful face flashed in front of her eyes, and she seemed to be able to smell the refreshing fragrance of lychee, osmanthus and wine coming from her body. He Qingxiao shook her head slightly to dispel those complicated thoughts, and said seriously: "Aunt Gui misunderstood, there is no such thing."
Aunt Gui didn't believe it at all: "If Mr. Hou doesn't like it, why do you go to Qingsong Bookstore so often?"
"Aunt Gui forgot, I used to go to Qingsong Bookstore often."
"It's a good thing that the former Marquis didn't bring back so many travel notes."
He Qingxiao hesitated and used a calm tone to cover up the sudden bitterness in her heart: "I just prefer the recent travel notes. Aunt Gui, if you like Miss Kou, I don't object to your association, but don't let Miss Kou misunderstand that I don't Intentional."
"How can this be said to have ulterior motives?" Aunt Gui wanted to say that as people grow up, it is natural to have admiration for the opposite sex, but when she met the young man's eyes with a hint of pleading, she was speechless. .
Forget it, this kid is thoughtful and always has his own ideas, so he can't act too hastily.
"This slave has misunderstood. Don't worry, Lord Marquis, I will not talk nonsense in front of Miss Kou in the future."
"Thank you Aunt Gui for your understanding." He Qingxiao smiled, but she didn't feel relieved. She picked up a jar of wine and left.
Aunt Gui looked at the young man's leaving figure and hesitated to speak.
Did the Marquis know that what he took away was the strongest soju?
