Liu Ziqi smiled at her and said, "Miss Yu, don't be restrained. Feel free to be more casual."
Liu Ziqi's smile was gentle and elegant, very beautiful. Yu Jiao blushed slightly and lowered her head.
During the meal, Gu Yun did not speak rudely again. Perhaps because he was from an aristocratic family, he followed the ancient motto of "don't talk while eating and don't talk while sleeping", so he ate the whole meal in silence.
After the meal, Gu Yun called the waiter in, paid the bill, and generously gave the waiter a penny as a tip.
The waiter was so happy that his eyebrows and eyes blossomed. Although this gentleman was a little difficult to serve, he gave enough money. He bowed and said with a smile, "My two gentlemen, goodbye, young lady."
The four of them walked out of the restaurant one after another. Just as they walked to the street, a woman next to them suddenly sprained her foot and bumped into Yu Jiao. Yu Jiao subconsciously supported her.
The woman hurriedly said, "I'm so sorry, my legs just went weak, are you okay, young lady?"
Yu Jiao shook her head and let go of the woman's hand.
Gu Yun stopped in front and said to the woman, "Why don't you watch your steps? Why do you deliberately bump into people?"
The woman looked terrified and said in defense, "Sir, you misunderstood. I really didn't mean it."
Perhaps because Yu Jiao looked kind and easy to talk to, she looked at Yu Jiao and said in panic, "Miss, I really didn't mean it. My legs went weak just now and I accidentally bumped into you. Please forgive me."
Yu Jiao nodded, signaling the woman that she could leave.
The woman thanked him repeatedly, not daring to look at Gu Yun, and left quickly.
Gu Yun wanted to say something, but Liu Ziqi stopped him and said helplessly, "You have been a little restless these days. How come you can't even look at a passerby? I think I should ask Miss Yu to prescribe a prescription for you to reduce internal heat."
"That woman really bumped into her on purpose." Gu Yun heard Liu Ziqi say this about him, and simply flicked his sleeves, snorted in dissatisfaction, turned around and walked towards the carriage, saying, "If she loses something, don't blame me for not reminding her."
Upon hearing this, although Yu Jiao did not quite believe what Gu Yun said, she still touched her body and found that the purse in her arms was gone.
Yu Fuling noticed that she looked strange and asked, "Did you really lose something?"
Yu Jiao felt around in her bosom and said in a hoarse voice, "The purse is gone."
Yu Fuling became a little anxious after hearing this. She looked at Gu Yun suspiciously and whispered, "Could it really be that woman just now?"
Yu Jiao didn't know either. When the woman bumped into her, she reached out to hold her. The two of them didn't have much contact at all. However, thieves are always very skilled in martial arts, so it's possible that she didn't feel it.
Fortunately, she only had a few taels of silver in her purse... Yu Jiao suddenly remembered that the jade buckle Liu Sanniang gave her was also in her purse. Her face changed and she looked in the direction the woman had left, but there was no trace of the woman there.
Seeing her like this, Gu Yun stood beside the carriage and said gloatingly, "Did the little mute lose something? Now you know who is the good guy and who is the bad guy, right?"
Liu Ziqi asked with concern, "What was lost?"
Recalling the solemn look on Liu Sanniang's face when she gave her the jade buckle, Yu Jiao felt that the jade buckle was very important. She didn't feel anything when she was wearing it, but she was very uneasy about losing it.
She said hoarsely, "The purse is gone."
"I think this man is an experienced person. Let's go to the government office to report the case, maybe we can get him back." Liu Ziqi saw that she looked a little depressed and said in a gentle voice.
Yu Jiao bit her lip, somewhat annoyed at herself for being too careless just now, and searched the crowd on the street with her eyes.
Gu Yun said sarcastically, "Why are you still standing there like an idiot? The thief won't return your purse to you!"
Yu Fuling heard him still mocking her, and she was so angry that she blurted out, "Since you knew that woman was a thief, why didn't you say it earlier, and wait until the person left?"
Gu Yun glared at her, and Yu Fuling realized that she had actually accused the living devil, Young Marquis Gu, and she was so scared that she dared not say a word.
Gu Yun just said it casually just now, he had no idea that the woman was really a thief.
He deliberately said, "I did it on purpose! What can you do about it?"
Yu Fuling didn't dare to challenge him and could only complain in her heart.
Yu Jiao came back to her senses. Although Gu Yun's words were harsh, they were the truth. It would be useless for her to stand there stupidly. The thief obviously saw that Liu Ziqi and Gu Yun were dressed luxuriously and walking together, so he thought she was also a rich person.
It was difficult to target men like Liu Ziqi and Gu Yun, so they chose this little girl.
Yu Jiao said hoarsely to Liu Ziqi, "Mr. Liu, please go to the government office to report the case."
The silver in her purse was lost, but she had to find the jade button.
Several people got on the carriage and told the servant to go to the government office.
Seeing that she was distracted, Gu Yun said nonchalantly, "Isn't it just a lost purse? How much silver can be in it? When you cure General Xiao's hand, I will reward you with more money than you can even put in your purse!"
Liu Ziqi asked carefully, "What's in your purse? If it's just silver, don't be too upset, Miss Yu."
Yu Jiao was about to say that there was a jade button inside, but then she thought of what Liu Sanniang said, that the jade button should not be shown to others easily, so she said in a hoarse voice, "There is a relic left to me by my father."
