Chapter 66 Is Shi Chaoqing really dead?
Jiang Yunzheng withdrew her gaze indifferently.
His Majesty is a man of profound knowledge and great talent. His true abilities will be revealed in the palace examination. Shi Jingtao may indeed have real talent, but he is too arrogant.
The road was jammed with people and the carriage soon arrived at Muhua Building.
Qi Yunzhou's box was on the third floor. When he opened the window and looked out, he could just see the top three scholars parading through the streets.
Soon, officers and soldiers cleared the way, and a huge team came from a distance.
Wherever these three people passed by, the surroundings fell silent for a moment. When the people reacted, they all exclaimed in surprise, as if the cart was filled with fruits.
It’s no wonder everyone is making such a fuss, the looks of the three of them this year are simply too outstanding.
The top scholar Xie Qing was born in poverty, but he had an extraordinary temperament and his every move was full of the spirit of a scholar.
The runner-up looked humble and gentle like jade.
The third place winner Yu Zheng had a pair of dazzling peach blossom eyes with a faint smile in them, which made the women feel excited.
Jiang Yunzheng, Qi Yanyu, and Xu Mianmian leaned against the window, and Jiang Yunzheng silently evaluated the three of them in her heart.
Qi Zhenzhen was held in Jiang Yunzheng's arms. The little girl rarely saw such a scene and she clapped her hands excitedly.
The team drove to the bottom of Muhua Building.
Suddenly, Jiang Yunzheng's eyes fixed on this Tanhua...wasn't he the man who spoke to her in the post station when she was kidnapped by Qin's people?
When I saw it that day, I didn't pay attention to it.
Jiang Yunzheng was a little surprised when she suddenly noticed that the people around her were unusually quiet.
Her eyes shifted slightly, and Qi Yanyu saw that she was staring at the number one scholar riding his horse towards her, and the handkerchief in her hand was blown away by the wind without any warning.
Jiang Yunzheng:?
Qi Yanyu: ???
When Qi Yanyu reacted, her cheeks turned red. She screamed and quickly squatted down to hide herself.
The handkerchief fell steadily into the arms of the number one scholar. The man raised his clear eyes and saw a round head hiding quickly.
Yu Zheng witnessed all this and jokingly said, "Brother Xie Qing, you escaped the selection process to be a husband. I didn't expect that even a girl from Muhua Tower would admire you."
Xie Qing's eyes were calm, but he looked at Jiang Yunzheng, who was holding the child. He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked sideways at Yu Zheng, who was covered in flowers. "Not as good as Brother Yu's immortal appearance."
Yu Zheng chuckled: "Thank you, brother, for admitting it."
After saying that, Yu Zheng followed Xie Qing's gaze. When he saw Jiang Yunzheng, the smile on his face paused slightly.
Jiang Yunzheng also saw Yu Zheng's face clearly at this time.
She frowned. Wasn't this the rookie kidnapper from the Qinglian Sect that day?
That day, the rookie kidnapper was clumsy and had a dark and stupid face, but his facial features were exactly the same as those of the third place winner.
The only difference is that the third place winner has fairer skin.
Jiang Yunzheng pursed her lips. She didn't see the rookie kidnapper when they were on the cliff that night. Now recalling the details, that man was completely different from the vicious criminals of the Qinglian Sect.
So what was his purpose in infiltrating the Qinglian Sect?
Is he King Yu’s man, or Qi Yunshen’s man?
Jiang Yunzheng followed the group of people until they disappeared at the end of the road. When she looked away, she saw Shi Xiaoya in the crowd.
After just ten days of not seeing each other, Shi Xiaoya's appearance has changed a lot.
Her face was thin, and her dark pupils were like two black lanterns hanging on her pale skin. Her eyes were dull until her gaze met Jiang Yunzheng's.
The maid behind Shi Xiaoya quickly pulled the person away.
Behind him, Qi Yanyu covered her face with her hands, her whole body turning red like a shrimp.
Xu Mianmian tried to comfort him: "It's okay, your handkerchief doesn't have your nickname written on it, so he doesn't know who you are."
Qi Yanyu was on the verge of tears: "Ask around in the capital and everyone knows this box belongs to the Qi family's second son, so how could they not know who I am?!"
Jiang Yunzheng was determined to shock people with her words, "That number one scholar is truly extraordinary with his graceful appearance."
Qi Yanyu felt like banging her head against the wall.
Qi Yunzhou patted his sister's shoulder and said, "This top scholar is named Xie Qing. He is from the coastal area. He has a gentle temperament and a beautiful face. He looks like a genius."
Qi Yunzhou had something to say.
Even His Majesty was very satisfied with Xie Qing.
He was afraid of upsetting his sister further.
The waiter outside the door brought food. Qi Yanyu tried not to think about the embarrassing situation and kept eating to divert her attention.
After the meal, Qi Yanyu still looked absent-minded, with an expression of shame and anger, and then blushing. Jiang Yunzheng smiled helplessly. She patted Qi Zhenzhen's little head and motioned her to go and accompany her aunt.
As soon as Qi Zhenzhen walked over, he was hugged by Qi Yanyu, and then Qi Yanyu let out a long cry.
Qi Zhenzhen didn't understand and stared at Jiang Yunzheng blankly.
Jiang Yunzheng walked over and touched Qi Yanyu's head. "In three days, there will be Qionglin Garden. If you are curious, you can go to the palace to take a look."
Qi Yanyu winked at her.
"Then Sister Jiang, you come with me! I don't feel safe without you!"
Jiang Yunzheng really thought about whether she would have anything to do the day after tomorrow, and she pondered for a moment.
Qi Yanyu looked at her pitifully. Seeing that Jiang Yunzheng didn't say anything, she nodded towards where Xu Mianmian was.
On the other side of the box, Qi Yunzhou stood opposite Xu Mianmian, and no one knew what they were talking about.
"This is about the lifelong event of my second brother and Mianmian."
"Sister Jiang, are you willing to let me interrupt them now?!"
Jiang Yunzheng couldn't bring herself to refuse, so she said helplessly, "Then go ahead."
Qi Yanyu immediately smiled.
On the other side, after Qi Yunzhou finished speaking, he looked at Xu Mianmian biting her lip without saying a word, and sighed in his heart, "I'll go back first, you...take your time to think about it."
After being out for more than two hours, it was almost time for Qi Zhenzhen to take a nap, and Qi Yunzhou said he wanted to take Qi Zhenzhen back first.
Jiang Yunzheng nodded and asked Qi Zhenzhen to go back first.
The little girl obeyed and put her little hand in Qi Yunzhou's palm, and the uncle and nephew went downstairs together.
As soon as Qi Yunzhou left.
Qi Yanyu's eyes were full of gossip, and Jiang Yunzheng drank tea slowly.
Xu Mianmian blushed, "Yanyu!"
Qi Yanyu touched her chin and asked, "Did my second brother express his feelings to you?"
Xu Mianmian bit her lip and looked at Jiang Yunzheng, "Sister Jiang, what does it feel like to like someone?"
Jiang Yunzheng paused while drinking her tea, swallowed the water slowly, and met the curious gazes of the two men.
Jiang Yunzheng's previous life was a confusing one, so if she were to ask who she really liked, she couldn't explain it clearly.
The only thing I can think of is the scenes when the original owner and Shi Chaoqing used to get along with each other.
She recalled her memory of Shi Chaoqing and said, "When you like someone, you will blush and can't help but pay attention to what she is doing. Occasionally, you will do some nonsensical things to attract her attention."
"He would paint her personally, and even before his death he was planning her future."
Before Shi Chaoqing's last climb, he said some very harsh words to Jiang Yunzheng.
——"Jiang Yunzheng, I have never liked you. I only see you as my sister. I already have someone else I like. This relationship will eventually pass, and time will smooth everything out."
Suddenly, Jiang Yunzheng stopped abruptly, and her hair stood on end.
After saying this, Shi Chaoqing died while climbing a mountain shortly afterwards.
At the time, this seemed like an accident.
Why did Shi Chaoqing say this to the original owner?
Did Shi Chaoqing know that he would die?
But that shouldn't be the case. Shi Chaoqing was in poor health and wouldn't live for more than two years. Jiang Yunzheng frowned.
There are doubts about Shi Chaoqing's death.
Or in other words, is Shi Chaoqing really dead?
So who was in the coffin at that time?
