Chapter 1070 Sister and Brother
Yu Jiu is actually not very interested in mutton.
He originally planned to just eat a couple of bites and then put down his chopsticks, but because he saw Xiao Xixi eating so happily, he couldn't help but eat a lot as well.
Seeing that he was eating a lot, Xiao Xixi was afraid that he would snatch the food from her, so she couldn't help but speed up her eating.
After the two of them worked hard to eat up all the dishes on the table.
Xiao Xixi touched her round belly and burped contentedly.
"It feels so good to be full."
Yu Jiu felt a little full.
While rubbing his stomach, he secretly regretted eating so much.
It’s all because the woman in front of me eats so happily.
This woman is really poisonous!
Seeing that they had almost finished eating, the proprietress came over with a teapot to pour tea for the two of them. She glanced at the empty bowls and plates on the table and couldn't help but click her tongue in her heart.
These two people are such a big eater!
It really proves the old saying that if you are not from the same family, you will not enter the same door.
Two foodies together, a match made in heaven!
Xiao Xixi said lazily.
"Mr. Yu, it's time to pay the bill."
Yu Jiu resigned himself to his fate and reached into his sleeves, pulling out a purse.
After paying the money, he led Xiao Xixi out.
Just at this moment, two constables in indigo official uniforms strode in and asked the proprietress.
"Madam Wei, are there any outsiders coming to your house for dinner today?"
The owner of the mutton restaurant is from a family whose surname is Wei, so everyone calls her Madam Wei.
When Madam Wei heard this, she subconsciously looked at Xiao Xixi and Yu Jiu.
The two detectives followed her line of sight and saw the unfamiliar faces of Xiao Xixi and Yu Jiu.
The younger constable immediately called out to them.
"Wait a moment!"
At this time, Xiao Xixi and Yu Jiu had already walked to the door.
However, the door was blocked by the two constables, so Xiao Xixi and Yu Jiu could not get out and could only stop.
Yu Jiu became secretly alert, ready to take action at any time.
Xiao Xixi asked in confusion: "What do you want, sir?"
The constable looked them both up and down and asked suspiciously.
"We just received a report that a human trafficker has appeared in the city, and that trafficker brought a young girl with him. Could it be you?"
Before Xiao Xixi could open her mouth to deny it, Madam Wei spoke first.
"Detective Zhang, Detective Liu, you must have misunderstood.
These two guests should be a young couple from other places. Look how much they look like a couple!
Besides, how could a human trafficker openly bring abducted people to a restaurant to eat and drink?"
The two detectives thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case, so they relaxed their expressions a little.
Detective Zhang is a little older, has more experience in handling cases, and is more calm and thoughtful in his work.
He narrowed his eyes, stared at Xiao Xixi and asked.
"Young lady, don't be afraid. Tell us honestly, is this man your husband?"
Xiao Xixi shook her head without hesitation: "No."
Yu Jiu's expression changed slightly.
Is this woman going to act up again?
No, I can't let this woman lead me by the nose anymore.
He has to strike first!
Yu Jiu secretly circulated his internal energy and was about to knock down the two troublesome constables in front of him when he heard Xiao Xixi's next words.
"He is my brother."
Yu Jiu: “…”
He couldn't catch his breath and almost suffocated to death.
Constable Zhang's eyes darted back and forth between the two of their faces, speaking doubtfully.
"But he looks older than you."
Xiao Xixi said calmly, "Maybe it's because he looks anxious."
Yu Jiu started coughing violently.
I'm totally angry!
Xiao Xixi quickly patted him on the back to calm him down, and explained to the two soldiers.
"Don't be fooled by my brother's tall and strong figure, he has always been in poor health.
Especially in winter, he felt particularly weak.
That's why I brought him here to eat lamb.
Isn't it said that mutton is good for the body? If you give him more, maybe his health will improve."
Yu Jiu: “…”
You are weak! Your whole family is weak!
Madam Wei was very surprised by this result. She didn't expect that these two people were not husband and wife but siblings.
However, she quickly accepted this reality and automatically figured out the reason for the previous misunderstanding. No wonder these two people are so good at eating, it turns out it’s because they are siblings!
Madam Wei smiled and responded, "Yes, yes, eating more mutton can nourish the body. You must bring your brother to eat here often in the future."
Xiao Xixi agreed readily.
Anyway, it’s not her money, so it’s okay for her to come and eat every day!
The two detectives saw that Xiao Xixi was smiling and talking, and her words and actions were calm and natural, and she didn't look like a trafficked woman at all, so they finally believed that they were siblings.
But Constable Zhang still asked cautiously.
"Where's your pass? Show it to us."
Xiao Xixi turned her head to look at Yu Jiu, and deliberately shouted loudly: "Brother, where is the pass? Take it out and show it to the official."
Yu Jiu felt very disgusted by her calling him brother, but in order not to reveal his true identity in front of others, he could only resist the urge to retort and forced a smile through gritted teeth.
"It's on me."
The reason why he was able to escape from Shengjing successfully was because of the help of Princess Hua'an.
Princess Hua'an had everyone prepare everything for him, including the carriage, luggage, travel expenses, and pass he would need for his journey.
Yu Jiu took out a brown oil paper envelope from his arms.
I opened the envelope and found two thin passes inside.
Constable Zhang reached out to take the pass and examined it carefully.
Constable Liu next to him also stretched his neck to look over.
After the two of them read the contents of the pass, their expressions suddenly became somewhat subtle.
Seeing this, Madam Wei asked curiously.
"Is there something wrong with this pass?"
Detective Zhang: "There is no problem with the pass, but it says that the two are husband and wife."
Constable Liu immediately looked at Xiao Xixi and Yu Jiu and asked suspiciously.
"But aren't you brother and sister? How can a brother and sister be husband and wife?"
Xiao Xixi: “…”
It turned over so quickly.
The pass has always been kept close to Yu Jiu. Xiao Xixi has never read the contents of the pass. She didn't know that the pass had given her such a personality.
Yu Jiu had a smile on his face and looked at Xiao Xixi, waiting to see how she would continue her story.
Xiao Xixi began to talk nonsense in a serious manner.
"We are indeed siblings, but not biological siblings, but cousins.
His biological mother is the niece of my mother's second aunt's cousin's cousin.
He and I are distant cousins. Later, in order to strengthen the relationship between us, our two families paired us up.
Normally he is used to calling me sister, and I am used to calling him brother."
Having said that, she turned her head and glanced at Yu Jiu.
"Isn't that right, brother?"
Yu Jiu replied with a fake smile: "Yes, sister."
…
