Chapter 183: Polite, Courteous, Thoughtful, and Smiling
Yu Shengsheng looked at Hei Bai eating and suddenly felt that something was wrong.
She is good at painting, and is naturally perceptive and good at observing people's expressions, and can often capture people's appearance in more detail.
This black and white...
Her heart trembled, and she protected Jin Baobao and Nanny Zhou behind her. Just as she was about to speak, Fu Qingyin came to the door.
The door was not closed but half open. Fu Qingyin glanced inside and saw everything clearly. Seeing Yu Shengsheng in a defensive posture with a vigilant look, he couldn't help but smile.
"Impermanence," he cried.
Wuchang, who was standing at the table eating seriously, turned around and came to greet him before he had even finished swallowing the food in his mouth.
"master."
"When did you come back?" Fu Qingyin asked, his eyes sweeping across the clean plates on the table.
Apparently it's been a while.
"Just after a quarter of an hour," Wu Chang wiped his mouth, "I heard a woman laughing here, so I came over to take a look."
I see.
"This is Princess Ruiyang, here to assist me in my investigation," Fu Qingyin threw a piece of silver to him, "Go buy some candied fruit to make up for the fruit you ate."
Seeing this, Yu Shengsheng felt relieved: "No, that's not necessary. Anyway, I also..."
Wu Chang: "Okay."
He turned and left.
"He is Wuchang," Fu Qingyin said, "He is a twin brother of Heibai. Heibai talks a lot, but he is quieter and a bit more straightforward."
Yu Shengsheng nodded: "No wonder, I mean, they do look alike, I didn't recognize them at first."
Fu Qingyin glanced at the small piece of paper she had cut out: "Is that the paper I'm going to use for my sketchbook?"
Yu Shengsheng: “…” Draw one? For real?
"What?" Fu Qingyin raised his eyebrows slightly, his tone displeased.
He agreed to Bai Di so readily. Was it so difficult to agree to him?
Yu Shengsheng could tell he was emotional, and nodded, "Yes, yes, I just finished cutting it, and will paint it in the next two days."
That's about right.
Fu Qingyin glanced at her wrist again and said calmly, "We'll have dinner later and take you somewhere."
"……yes."
As soon as the words were spoken, black and white voices were heard outside, talking and laughing.
"Everyone, you are in for a treat tonight. The master ordered me and the chief to order a banquet from Tianxiang Tower to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival together!"
Everyone cheered.
"We are all thanks to Princess Ruiyang. They are our guests, not prisoners, let alone criminals. They are here to assist the master in solving the case. So, what should everyone do?"
"Be polite, courteous, considerate, and smiling!"
Yu Shengsheng's ears felt a little hot - indeed, now she could really see that Bai Hei and Wu Chang were not alike in any other way except that they looked alike.
Hao Mengye frowned and looked at Hei Bai with a sidelong glance. He was really puzzled as to how this kid managed to please the commander.
As soon as this thought came to his mind, he saw Fu Qingyin coming out of Yu Shengsheng's room and quickly lowered his head and stood still.
Hei Bai greeted him with a smile: "Master, you can't drink alcohol, I bought a few pounds of fresh peaches on the way, and I'll squeeze some juice for you."
Fu Qingyin nodded slightly.
The people from Tianxiang Tower came very quickly. I dared not to be slow, and my legs were trembling in my trouser legs.
It happened that Wuchang also came back. When Hei Bai saw him holding a pile of candied fruits and realized that Fu Qingyin asked him to buy them, his eyes went dark.
Upon asking, it turned out that he had eaten the food in Yu Shengsheng's room, so he quickly took him to get more and apologize.
When they asked again, they found out that the small portrait had been taken away by Wuchang, and the two of them started to make a fuss again.
Yu Shengsheng couldn't help but smile as she watched them talking and laughing. She recalled that when she celebrated Mid-Autumn Festival in the countryside, mooncakes were very rare, but Grandma Wu would take out the sugar she had saved for a year and make pancakes for her and Qi Mubai that were more flour than vegetables and would be filled with a little bit of sugar.
She and Qi Mubai also made some noise first, but they wanted each other to have more candy.
Who would have thought that this year's Mid-Autumn Festival would be celebrated in Zhenqiao Tower.
Qi Mubai didn't expect that even though he won the top spot in the imperial examination, he would still have such a miserable Mid-Autumn Festival.
He stood outside the prison while Yu was crying inside.
"When will you let me out? What does Wu Da Lian's death have to do with me? It's not like I killed him."
Qi Mubai couldn't hide his annoyance: "Don't cry, who told you to talk nonsense? If it weren't for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I would be in there now."
"So, did you meet the prince today? Did you ask him to save you? Did you grant him an official position?"
"No, no," Qi Mubai suppressed his anger, "I'm just here to tell you, wait patiently, and keep your mouth shut in there, don't talk nonsense."
Yu was also unhappy: "What nonsense did I say? I was telling the truth! How can I be patient in here? Today is Mid-Autumn Festival, others are reuniting and eating mooncakes, but I am in prison..."
Qi Mubai sighed heavily and pinched his brows: "Okay, I get it, I will find a way as soon as possible."
He turned and walked away, his steps becoming quicker and quicker.
The prince is in a difficult situation now, he can't just sit there and wait any longer, he has to find a way.
But the solution requires money. The food and drink in the inn he is staying in now are free, but it can't last long, especially after the incident with Wu Da Lian, the attitude of the innkeeper and the waiters towards him has changed.
The moon was bright in the sky and the laughter was still ringing in his ears, but Qi Mubai felt very lonely.
Suddenly I remembered the time when I was in the countryside with Yu Shengsheng, and my steps changed direction unconsciously.
When he came to his senses, he realized that they were almost near the Su Mansion.
He laughed at himself. Now that Yu Shengsheng was a princess, no one in the Su family could do anything to her. Even if he went there, he wouldn't be able to see anyone.
But why?
Just as he was standing there unwillingly, suddenly a dark shadow rushed towards him.
He was startled, a cold light flashed across his shoulder, and blood gushed out immediately.
The tension and fear made him feel no pain, but his soul was about to leave his body.
He turned and ran forward, but the dark shadow was following him like a demon.
With a "swish", the hidden weapon stabbed at his feet.
"If you take one more step, I'll break your legs!"
Qi Mubai stopped immediately, not daring to breathe.
"Turn around."
Qi Mubai turned around slowly.
…
Yu Shengsheng opened her eyes wide in surprise, and stepped on the roof, not daring to move, for fear of making any noise.
She didn't even see how she got up there.
Fu Qingyin was beside her, his refreshing fragrance penetrated her nostrils, his wide sleeves swayed gently in the night breeze, brushing against her cheek, cold and smooth, and there was a little warmth at the edge of his cuffs, which was his body temperature.
Yu Shengsheng turned her face away slightly, not daring to move too much.
"Commander, this is..."
Fu Qingyin's voice rang in her ears: "This is the family that Xianglan's widowed sister-in-law remarried."
Yu Shengsheng was slightly surprised: "Do you think Xianglan's weakness is still related to her family?"
Is it worth it for Xianglan to grit her teeth and endure such torture for a sister-in-law who has remarried?
Yu Shengsheng found it incredible.
Suddenly, something came out of the cage below and was about to make a sound when Fu Qingyin flicked his wrist.
A cold light came, and the thing died before it even noticed the sound.
Yu Shengsheng was terrified.
Just at this moment, the door of the main house downstairs opened and a woman walked out.
Yu Shengsheng's gaze immediately fell on her.
