Chapter 211: Positive and Negative
Judging from Yin Li's expression, he didn't seem to know Jiang Yao.
Hu Xiner then described Jiang Yao's appearance and figure.
Yin Li gently twisted the strands of hair on her forehead: "I seem to have seen this person before, but..."
"But what?" Hu Xiner asked in confusion.
He glanced at Mu Qing with an ambiguous expression, then waved at Hu Xin'er, "I want to tell you quietly, so no one else can hear."
It was obvious that he was deliberately trying to anger Mu Qing!
Mu Qing put his arm around Hu Xin'er's waist, his expression unfriendly: "Not everyone can get close to my wife."
Yin Li smiled and said, "Only men with low self-esteem would be afraid of having their wives snatched away."
Seeing that another verbal battle was about to begin, Hu Xiner almost rolled her eyes.
Although Yin Li has a cocky personality, he has an extraordinary IQ and is the head of the Wanjuan Pavilion who exudes a sense of weirdness in his daily life.
Mu Qing is both civil and military, cold to the outside but gentle to the inside, and meticulous and delicate in his thoughts.
But how come when these two people meet, their IQs become negative?
They quarrel all the time, which is so childish.
She pulled Mu Qing's hand, signaling him not to be impulsive.
The latter held her hand and squeezed it hard. Although he was unhappy, he still endured it for her.
After dealing with her husband, Hu Xiner immediately looked at Yin Li: "After you tell me, I will definitely tell my husband, so you don't have to whisper."
Yin Li was embarrassed and said reluctantly, "I haven't seen it."
"Okay, husband, let's go!" Hu Xin'er turned her head decisively.
Although Mu Qing wanted to leave, he felt that Yin Li was deceitful. "Should I ask again?"
Hu Xin'er had already been able to tell when Yin Li was about to tell a lie, so she just pretended to pull Mu Qing away, shouting, "I didn't expect that the intelligence gathering at Wanjuan Pavilion was just like this. I'm never coming here again!"
"Hey!" Yin Li reached out to grab her sleeve, but was blocked by Mu Qing.
Just by hearing his wife's different tone from usual, Mu Qing knew what she was planning and said, "My wife, I've told you not to come to such a weird place. This person is obviously not a good person."
Yin Li was about to explode with anger, but she withdrew her hand abruptly for the sake of her image.
He maintained a sneer on the surface, waving the fan in his hand frantically: "Giveaways, if you two really leave, you'll miss the only clue!"
Hu Xin'er looked at her husband calmly, then turned around in pretended surprise.
Mu Qing, on the other hand, played the role of a useless gigolo: "My lady, don't listen to this stinky man. What kind of ability does he have?"
Yin Li raised an eyebrow: "I don't need you to judge whether I have the ability or not."
He turned and walked into the straw hut.
It was not convenient to talk about such things outside, so the couple chased into the Wanjuan Pavilion.
At this time, the Wanjuan Pavilion was empty, with bright candlelight and the books in the caves on the walls as vast as a sea of stars.
On the left side of Wanjuan Pavilion is a desk, and a pile of miscellaneous items is placed in the corner.
Yin Li sat behind the desk, holding an open folding fan next to his face, the fan just covering his shaved hair.
"Do you have any clues?" Hu Xin'er was not polite and directly moved a chair to sit down.
Yin Li's eyes were half drooped, creating a mysterious and handsome man - oh no, a charlatan atmosphere: "That depends on what price you offer!"
"You still want money?" Hu Xin'er stood up decisively, "Husband, let's go!"
Mu Qing followed obediently.
Yin Li was so frightened that her fan trembled: "You..."
Hu Xin'er is well aware of the principle of asking for a high price and then paying it back. "It's just a piece of news that I don't know whether it's true or not, and I still have to pay for it? I never spend money on such things!"
Seeing that she didn't stop at all, Yin Li took out her anger on Mu Qing: "Even though you're a gigolo, you're still his husband! And you're looking for the whereabouts of your own aunt, how can you not be anxious?"
Mu Qing's face was calm: "I will listen to my wife."
Just as the two of them reached the door, Yin Li said weakly, "Alright, then I will reluctantly tell you that I did meet Jiang Yao, and she was accompanied by Taoist Master Yiqing."
As expected! Jiang Yao and the Taoist priest have a special relationship!
Hu Xin'er had this premonition before, and now it has finally been verified.
"I always feel that the lady in the Taoist priest's story should be Aunt Jiang Yao." Hu Xiner said quietly.
"What story?" Mu Qing asked in confusion.
Hu Xiner then remembered that she had only talked about the important things before and had not mentioned the final matter of looking for Taoist Master Yiqing.
But now is not the right time to talk about it in detail, because there is Yin Li standing next to him, listening to the gossip with his ears perked up.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Mu Qing vaguely understood something in his heart: "Although I haven't heard the story, after being rescued by Taoist Yiqing that day, I seem to have seen him drinking tea and watching the sunset with my aunt."
In order to raise him, Jiang Yao has been wandering around all these years. Although there is a hidden love affair with Chunfengzui, he still has complicated feelings for this aunt in his heart.
Mu Qing would be very happy if she could finally marry her childhood sweetheart.
Hu Xin'er analyzed, "Since Mother doesn't know this Taoist priest, then it can only be related to my aunt. That means the Taoist priest knows my aunt's whereabouts and our connection. But why didn't he want to tell me my aunt's whereabouts last time?"
She followed Mu Qing and started calling Jiang Yao "Auntie".
Seeing the heated discussion between the two of them, Yin Li knocked on the table, unable to bear it any longer: "Do you have any basic respect for me?"
Mu Qing ignored him: "If they really have feelings for each other, I can understand that the Taoist priest wants to protect his beloved, so he didn't tell you the whereabouts of your aunt."
In fact, if it were him, he would also choose to conceal his whereabouts. After all, the eldest princess and the prince are closely related, and she had wanted to lock Jiang Yao up before.
But unfortunately, the eldest princess and Hu Xiner are very good friends, so it is hard not to be wary.
Hu Xin'er agreed, "If my aunt is under the protection of the Taoist priest, she should be safe. We'll go look for the Taoist priest next time."
Then, she looked at Yin Li, who was already furious: "Thank you, Master! We will definitely come to practice painting with you more often in the future."
Yin Li snorted coldly, obviously not being coaxed.
Hu Xin'er asked again, "Then, my all-knowing Pavilion Master, what was the origin of the inkstone you gave me last time?"
Yin Li glanced at her sideways: "I like to collect these. I don't even remember when I got rid of them. Why are you asking?"
Hu Xiner then told the story between the inkstone and Old Man Dou, which Yin Li found very interesting.
"You don't know anything, so why did you say it was a rare treasure when you gave it to me?" Hu Xiner asked suspiciously.
Yin Li chuckled: "Silly girl, I was just teasing you!"
Hu Xiner was speechless.
