Before leaving, Zhuo Liu came over with two flowers in his hands.

"Your Highness!" Zhuo Liu ran a few steps forward to greet Helian Yu when he saw him. "Your Highness, my master is busy today and cannot accompany you to visit Jinling. My master has ordered that all of Your Highness's expenses today will be covered by my master."

After saying that, Zhuo Liu handed over a few silver bills in his hand to Yingyue.

"Fourth brother wants to investigate Enke's fraud case together with Master?" Helian Yu asked.

"Yes, Your Highness." Zhuo Liu explained briefly, "The master has found out about the affair between Pu Hongwen and Jia Xian, and wants to continue investigating along this line. It would be great if he could find out something."

"They can still be related..." Helian Yu sighed, "If there is nothing else, just go back."

"Zhuo Liu takes his leave."

After Zhuo Liu left, Helian Yu looked at Chang Zuo.

"Don't you need to help Master investigate the case? Lord Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of War."

He crossed his left arm across his chest, and at some point, he held a grass stem in his mouth, leaning against the wall and staring at Helian Yu: "Young Master blamed me for being reckless and forbidding me to interfere."

"What did you do?" Helian Yu asked as he walked with Chang Zuo, and turned back to take Yingyue Caiyun with him, "Come on, let's go and try the eight unique and sixteen snacks of Qinhuai in Jinling!"

Chang Zuo was puzzled, turned his head and spat out the grass stem, the red tassel of the long sword on his back intertwined with his black hair for a moment: "I beat up a cheater, only threw two punches, and the young master drove me away."

"It's okay. You won't be able to go to the jail at most." Helian Yu imitated the left hand and crossed his arms across his chest. "It's not bad to go with me to visit Jinling."

If we go to find Shangguan Yun, it should be easier with Chang Zuo's help, after all, he knows martial arts.

As Helian Yu thought so, his eyes on Chang Zuo became brighter and brighter, staring at Chang Zuo until he felt a chill on his back, and he couldn't help but move to the side.

On the long street of Jinling, in the Mochou Restaurant, which is famous for its elegance, once you enter the gate, you will see many guests dining in the corridors on both sides.

The waiter came over and greeted, "What would you like to eat, gentlemen and ladies? We have fish dumplings, tung bark noodles, fried fish rice, stone tripe soup, and lamb in the oven. The cakes include koi playing with lotus, jasmine bean jelly cake, flower tea cheese, peony cake, jade bean cake, milk cake, and crystal rolls! What would you like?"

The waiter was able to read out the dishes fluently, speaking the common language that could be understood by guests from both the north and the south.

“Is there a menu?”

Helian Yu only remembered one "Fancy Crystal Roll", the rest were all buzzing around his ears and couldn't get in.

"Miss, look over there, the names of the dishes are written on the wooden board." The waiter pointed and introduced them to Helian Yu and the others.

Helian Yu and his companions took their seats, ordered a few dishes and pastries, and told the waiter to serve them as soon as possible.

"Let's go boating on the lake later!" Helian Yu's imagination was particularly beautiful.

Chang Zuo: "Five Animal Exercises."

Helian Yu's interest immediately faded, and he pulled at his left sleeve with a sad look: "You really spoil the fun."

"Um."

Helian Yu: "..."

"Would you like to listen to...the music?"

"I won't listen!"

"Sir, do you want to listen to the music?"

The old voice of Ai Ai sounded, which was heartbreaking.

Helian Yu turned to the entrance upon hearing the voice. An old lady in shabby blue short coat was holding an erhu. She asked every table carefully, but without exception, she refused.

Yingyue felt pity and asked in a low voice, "Master, would you like to listen to a song?"

Helian Yu nodded, and Yingyue bowed and called over to the old lady holding the erhu.

"Mother-in-law, my young lady wants you to come over and play a song for her." Yingyue supported the old woman, "What's your name, mother-in-law?"

"The old woman's surname is Chu."

"Mrs. Chu, please come this way. My young lady was just bored and you showed up. Isn't this fate?"

"Erquan Yingyue." Helian Yu pointed to a chair next to him, "You can sit over there."

"You also know erhu?" Chang Zuo was surprised, as if he met Helian Yu for the first time.

Helian Yu waved at Chang Zuo, asking him to lower his head, and whispered proudly: "As a person, you always have to memorize a few famous things, just in case you can pretend to be one someday!"

Chang Zuo: “…”

She really got it!

Go home tonight and recite two...one page of the book!

Helian Yu didn't know how good the old woman was at playing the erhu, but she knew how the food at Mochou Restaurant was.

"Brother Chang Zuo, you like to eat meat, so this dish of meat is for you!"

"Yingyue is too thin, eat more."

"Caiyun too, eat more!"

"I'm not hungry, just some cakes will do." Helian Yu was busy, and pulled the cake plate in front of him, "You three can eat, you're welcome, it's my treat!"

Three people: "..."

It can be seen that this dish is extremely not to her taste.

The erhu stopped playing, and the old woman slowly stood up, holding the erhu and walked to Helian Yu, saying in a hoarse voice: "Miss, do you want to listen to another song? How about tonight?"

Helian Yu put down the cake in his hand and clapped his hands casually, "No, how much?"

"Give it to me, young lady." The old woman lowered her head, her cloudy eyes suddenly reddened, "My son is unfilial, and my descendants follow their father, leaving me alone in Jinling..."

Helian Yu reached to Chang's left waist, pulled out two silver coins and handed them to the old woman.

The old woman burst into tears, "My youngest son died not long ago, leaving behind only my sick grandson——"

"One hundred taels." Helian Yu took out a silver note and handed it to the old woman, "For the child's medical treatment."

Yingyue and Caiyun looked at each other and muttered something in their ears.

Chang Zuo took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention and stole two pieces of pastries in front of Helian Yu.

"Thank you, miss! Thank you, miss!" The old woman thanked her hurriedly, and her tears slowly stopped.

Helian Yu waved his hand and was about to eat his cake in peace when a familiar-looking young girl came running over with a bit of difficulty, as if she had been injured.

"Why are you lying again?" The young girl supported the old woman and scolded her with a frown, "Why don't you let Lu Wu worry less?"

Chu Luwu.

Helian Yu thought of the day when Jia Xian scolded Chu Luwu, and couldn't help but turn his gaze to Luwu.

Lu Wu took the banknote from the old woman and returned it to Helian Yu with both hands, looking apologetic: "Excuse me, young lady. This is my mother-in-law. She suffered a lot of disasters in the first half of her life. Now she always does some undesirable things. Did she lie to you that her grandson was sick? I am really sorry. It was because I was ignorant some time ago and had a private relationship with you... that's why she said nonsense."

The old woman held the erhu and walked out angrily. Lu Wu called out to her anxiously twice, but she didn't stop.

"It's a good thing that no one gets sick." Helian Yu didn't take the banknote, "Go and chase your mother-in-law. This money was earned by playing the erhu. Give it to her."

Lu Wu hurriedly bowed to express her gratitude and limped after them. From behind her, it was even more obvious that she had difficulty walking, which made the two of them look even more pitiful.

Outside Mochou Restaurant.

Lu Wu supported the old woman and took the erhu from her hand. "Old lady, how are you? The guests at the tables in front are too much! Why don't you teach them a lesson--"

"No need. We are not here for them, so why should we care about those guys? The hint has been left. If Zhaoyang is not stupid, he will definitely be able to hear it." The old woman who had just experienced the vicissitudes of life suddenly straightened up, her face even more solemn and majestic, "Even if Zhaoyang is stupid, the people around her should be able to sense the clues."
