"Think about it, you have to spend money to rent a house outside. You don't have to pay rent to live here, and the prince has to go to Dali Temple every day to do business. You can save time by taking his carriage. The chef in our house also cooks. It’s delicious, and it’s better than living outside. Besides, your parents have passed away, and you just don’t want to marry the prince, so we should take care of you, prince, don’t you think so.”
Aunt Ou had been talking for a long time and Fu Xiujin finally made some move. He stuffed the jade pendant into his sleeves and stood up to look at Yao Shu. Yao Shu was still thinking that he would not forcefully marry a civilian girl like Cao Hongfa, but in the end he just left it behind. He left with just one word.
"The trainee in Dali Temple only has two taels of silver a month. If you don't have to eat, you may just sleep on the street."
Isn't this a tactful way of persuading her to stay? Yao Shu weighed the words and finally decided to stay.
That night, she lay on the soft bed in Prince Su's Mansion and had a dream.
A black figure broke into the hut in the forest. The couple and their daughter were eating. The man suddenly stabbed the three of them with a knife. Soon, the three of them fell to the ground covered in blood. After the man in black left, the daughter got up and slapped her parents on the face, but the woman had lost her breath. In the end, the man just pointed at the bottom of the bed and told her to go find Shao Susu, but there was no movement anymore, and the daughter fainted. past……
"Help!" Yao Shu screamed in horror and woke up. The daughter in the dream turned out to be her. To be precise, the face as beautiful as a peach and plum was the original widower Yao Shu.
When she traveled back in time during the day, she felt that the memory of the original owner was not complete. Maybe it was because she had not completely inherited it after traveling through time. It seemed that the original owner's parents were still killed. It seems that the murderer has not been found yet. No wonder she would. Come to Dali Temple as an errand.
"Miss Yao, are you okay?"
The door opened, and a tall and delicate maid ran to the bed. Yao Shu remembered that her name was He Xiang, and she was the maid that Grandma Ou had given her last night.
"It's okay, it's just a nightmare. Do you have a pen and paper? I need it."
Hexiang nodded and put down the basin in her hand and went out to get her pen and paper. When she came back, Yao Shu had already finished washing. He took the pen and paper from her hand and started writing and drawing on the table.
Although her memory has not been completely restored, Yao Shu remembered that the man in black in the dream showed his wrist when he stabbed it with a knife. There was a totem on the wrist that looked like a four-petal flame. She quickly drew it based on the memory in the dream.
"He Xiang, do you recognize this pattern?" After finishing the drawing, Yao Shu pushed the paper in front of He Xiang.
He Xiang tilted her head and thought for a while before shaking her head, "It looks a bit like the symbol of the Holy Lotus Sect, but the Holy Lotus Sect has a five-petal flame, and this one is missing one."
Yao Shu thought about it and asked Fu Xiujin. Dali Temple had received so many cases, so maybe he knew someone.
He Xiang combed her hair and brought her breakfast. After she finished eating, he led her to the door of the house. The carriage was already waiting at the door.
Only then did Yao Shu remember that she had a job. It was probably too late at this time. She hurriedly got into the carriage, and then she realized that Fu Xiujin was sitting in the carriage...
"My lord, what a coincidence, you haven't gone to Dali Temple to do business yet?"
"If someone hadn't overslept, I would have been doing business at Dali Temple."
He specially emphasized the pronunciation of the word "already". Yao Shu was embarrassed for a moment. She had indeed wasted time, but she didn't expect that Fu Xiujin would obediently listen to Grandma Ou's arrangement and wait for her to go to Dali Temple together. She thought He will go first.
"Has the prince seen this pattern?" Yao Shu didn't answer his question, but took out the paper and handed it over. Since he has taken over someone else's body, he still has to avenge this blood feud.
Fu Xiujin took it and took a look. A flash of fierceness flashed in his black eyes, but he quickly returned to his calm state, but Yao Shu still caught it.
"It's very similar to the Holy Lotus Sect's emblem, but different. I've never seen it before."
It was exactly the same as Hexiang's answer, but there was still no clue.
Yao Shu folded the paper helplessly and leaned against the car window to meditate. Fu Xiujin did not take the initiative to talk and just read quietly aside. It was not until the carriage stopped that Yao Shu discovered that she had arrived at the government office in Shangjing.
"Your Majesty, aren't we going to Dali Temple?"
Fu Xiu suddenly turned his head when he stood up and crossed her. He leaned over with one hand on the carriage and breathed lightly on Yao Shu's earlobe. Yao Shu swore that in her previous life, a solo player had never been so close to a handsome boy. , she felt that half of her face had heated up.
"Yao Wuzuo is really forgetful. It doesn't matter if he can't remember what happened when he was a child. Yesterday he was going to the government office to hand over the bones. How can he forget this?"
Okay, why does Yao Shu feel that Fu Xiujin seems to be very worried about her forgetting about her childhood? She had to wonder if the original owner had made an agreement with Fu Xiujin when he was a child but forgot about it...
"My lord, why don't you get out of the car?" Zhao Shaobai's harsh voice came in, and the next second he stuck his head into the car.
"Yao, Yao Wuzuo? Why are you here? Why didn't I see you in Dali Temple this morning? See no evil, see no evil..."
At this time, Fu Xiujin still kept his posture close to Yao Shu's face. From the outside, it looked like he was kissing Yao Shu. If Zhao Shaobai hadn't barged in, Yao Shu would have suspected that her heartbeat would immediately explode.
"We are old friends. She will live in my house from now on." Fu Xiujin casually explained the relationship between him and Yao Shu as if nothing had happened, and then got out of the car. Only Yao Shu held her pounding chest to calm down for a few seconds. Zhongcai followed.
But she sharply saw that Fu Xiujin's ears turned red again. It seemed that some people were just paper tigers...
The yamen servant at the door saw Fu Xiujin and his entourage approaching from afar, and hurriedly greeted them, nodded and led them inside, saying that the bones and files were ready.
"Master Liu, Prince Su has arrived."
Yao Shu and the others were brought into the side hall, where Chief Liu was sitting next to two boxes. When he saw Fu Xiujin come in, he immediately stood up from his chair.
"Prince Lao Su, you're welcome. We, Magistrate Pei, have a case going on trial today, so we can only arrange for the younger one to come over and greet you. Chen Suqing's bones and case files have been sorted out, and they are just waiting for Dali Temple's widow and Dali Si Cheng will review and sign and then you can take it away."
Fu Xiujin didn't even raise his eyelids, and went straight past Master Liu and sat on the chair of the Grand Master, "Your Magistrate Pei is indeed very shameless and thick-skinned. The case of the direct daughter of the Chen family has attracted a lot of attention. After three years of investigation, there is no result." I am willing to hand over the case to our Dali Temple. If it were not for the pressure from Marquis Yongning, I am afraid that I would be prepared to drag this case until the world forgets about it."
