Chapter 269 The culprit has never been found
Gu Xiaoxi walked out of the yard and sat down at a noodle stall nearby.
There were quite a few people at the stall, which meant that the noodles here must be delicious. She looked at what the people next to her were eating, and ordered a big bowl for herself, along with a plate of meat and two poached eggs.
She was really hungry, and she started eating the noodles in big mouthfuls as soon as they were served.
After finishing the noodles, meat and fried eggs, she drank all the soup with a satisfied look on her face.
After eating and drinking, I looked up and saw Yingliu and Yingqi coming back with gloomy faces.
Especially Yingliu, that constipated expression made her want to laugh.
"Hey, come and have some noodles!" She shouted as she watched the two men approach.
Yingqi pulled Yingliu to stop. Yingliu was furious. They had been waiting for several months, but in the end they were left alone. How could he have the mood to eat noodles?
"Sit down!" Gu Xiaoxi looked up at the two of them and called out slowly.
Yingqi remembered what the third brother said when he left, and pulled Yingliu to sit down.
"Boss, give us another plate of meat, two bowls of meat noodles, and four poached eggs." Gu Xiaoxi asked the boss to serve.
Ying Liu also knew that Gu Xiaoxi had a special identity, so he didn't dare leave even if he was in a bad mood.
He lowered his head, his nose feeling a little sore.
It’s not a big deal to waste time, but the culprit has not been found and the master may be in danger at any time.
Useless!
He is so useless!
Thinking of this, his nose felt sore and he began to wipe away his tears.
Seeing that something was wrong, Gu Xiaoxi knocked on the table and whispered, "Grown man, why are you crying?"
"The girl doesn't know, we..." Ying Qi's voice became a little hoarse when he saw Ying Liu crying.
Gu Xiaoxi knew that their life was not easy, so she stopped hiding it and whispered, "Alright, eat well. I'll give you a big surprise later. I'll tell you everything you want to know."
Hearing this, they both looked up at Gu Xiaoxi, their eyes full of disbelief.
"Don't worry, I don't have the habit of lying." Gu Xiaoxi said and closed her mouth.
The waiter brought the cut meat, and soon two bowls of meat noodles and poached eggs were also brought up.
"Eat. If it's not enough, order more. It's my treat." Gu Xiaoxi looked at the two of them with a smile.
Ying Liu and Ying Qi nodded, and they both ate the noodles and meat served in big mouthfuls.
After eating and drinking, Gu Xiaoxi returned to the courtyard with them and sat down in the main hall.
The two were extremely anxious but did not dare to rush Gu Xiaoxi. Ying Qi poured Gu Xiaoxi a cup of tea.
Gu Xiaoxi took a sip of tea and then spoke: "I want to ask what is the relationship between Ye Jingxuan and your master?"
Upon hearing this name, Yingliu and Yingqi's faces changed drastically. After looking at each other, they didn't dare to answer the question immediately.
"If you don't tell me, I will go back and ask Ying San. However, I won't tell you the answer you want to know!" Gu Xiaoxi also had his own requests.
After hesitating, Ying Liu finally spoke: "That man is my master's half-brother."
"So that's how it is. No wonder they want to kill them all!" Gu Xiaoxi understood after hearing it.
This kind of inheritance of property in a big family is not uncommon, and the Ye surname is a royal surname, so she also guessed that Ye Lixuan was a prince.
As a prince, it is normal to get stabbed at any time.
"Miss, do you mean that Chongming's boss is Yejingxuan?" Yingliu asked cautiously.
Um!
Gu Xiaoxi nodded.
Ying Qi then asked, "How did Chongming die?"
"His underground secret room collapsed, he fell in, and then died." Gu Xiaoxi replied.
"Hang up?" Ying Qi was a little confused.
"He's just dead." Gu Xiaoxi explained.
Ying Liu excitedly asked after hearing this: "Did that girl see him die?"
"Yes, not only did I see him die, I also followed their steward to their farm outside the city.
The housekeeper was looking for something there, but left when he didn't find it. Not long after, the study outside the manor also collapsed.
I watched for a while, but when I followed him out, the housekeeper was gone.
I followed him to Chong's house and waited there until noon, but the housekeeper didn't come back. I guessed he had run away, so I went to look for Ying San.
Ying San took my people away, so I came to find you." Gu Xiaoxi told them the general situation and could not tell them anything else.
There's no way. We have too little contact with each other, and there are some things I can't tell them.
There is another reason, that is, the matter of the military token is too big, she has to hand it over to Ye Lixuan personally, otherwise they will not be able to keep it.
After getting such an answer, Yingliu and Yingqi didn’t know whether to be happy or sad?
They got the answer, but it was too shocking for them.
Because they always thought that Chongming was related to the Black Snake Sect. If that was the case, then the eldest prince was the financial backer behind the Black Snake Sect.
However, if this is the case, many things will become clear to them.
"Pack up and do other things. I'm leaving too." Gu Xiaoxi said as he stood up.
"Thank you, young lady!" Ying Liu and Ying Qi stood up and bowed to Gu Xiaoxi to express their gratitude. Now that they had received the answer, they no longer had to guard this place.
"You're welcome!" Gu Xiaoxi said and walked out.
Leaving their yard, she rode back on her horse.
Although she wanted to walk around and take a look here longer, she knew that the military token in her hand was very important, and Ye Lixuan had to come here in person.
So she rode back to the village as fast as she could.
…
On the other side, Lai Yifeng came in the afternoon when Gu Xiaoxi and the others went out. When he heard that they went to Yaocheng, he left again.
Two days later he came again and found that Gu Xiaoxi had not returned yet. He was too lazy to leave, so he simply stayed in the yard waiting for Gu Xiaoxi to come back.
After waiting for a few more days, Lai Yifeng became very annoyed.
After Zhang Shun came back, he was still worried about Gu Xiaoxi and hadn't slept well for two days.
Seeing Lai Yifeng sitting at the door waiting, he went over and sat down too.
"I don't know when that woman will come back? She suddenly said she was going to see a patient and disappeared?" Zhang Shun spoke like a nagging woman.
"Did she forget that there is a patient at home?" Lai Yifeng was even more helpless.
Zhang Shu and Ying San had been standing behind them for some time, and they couldn't help but shake their heads when they heard the tone of their voices.
"Third brother, do you think my cousin has fallen in love with Sister Xiaoxi?" Zhang Shu asked Ying San in a low voice.
After hearing this, Ying San thought about Zhang Shun's recent situation with a bit of hindsight, and then said nervously, "It's very likely to be the case, but this won't work!"
"Why? Is it because Sister Xiaoxi has a child?
No no no!
You can rest assured about this. My old lady would have no objection to my cousin marrying a wife, even if it means bringing back a girl from a brothel, especially since Sister Xiaoxi is so capable." Zhang Shu felt that if his eldest brother could bring back such a capable girl, the old lady would wake up laughing in her dreams.
