step by step

Chapter 58
Zhuo Yibai nodded, "Yes, she is indeed different."

He has never met such a unique woman, nor has he seen any woman as special as her.

"The young master, can you tell me the name of this woman?" Zhou Ru asked tentatively.

The other party's tone seemed to reveal the meaning of what he could see with his own eyes, and he couldn't help being a little curious.

"Have you ever seen this girl?" Zhuo Yibai asked without answering.

He didn't intend to hide his purpose, Zhou Ru was a smart man after all.

"No." Zhou Ru shook his head, "I've been in Jindu for so long, and I've never seen this person before."

He was telling the truth.

Although he claims to be well-informed, he is not supernatural enough to grasp every corner.

"Then who do you think she looks more like?"

Zhou Ru thought for a moment, then slowly said: "I feel somewhat similar to a woman in Jindu, but also somewhat different."

Zhuo Yibai nodded slightly, motioning for him to continue talking.

Zhou Ru thought for a while and added: "That woman also has some heroism, but she has a pair of phoenix eyes, and her age doesn't match her."

This is the only thing he can be sure of.

"Phoenix eyes?" Zhuo Yibai was slightly taken aback and then denied it in his heart.

He was so impressed with those eyes that he would never forget them.

Out of rigor, he still asked, "What's the name of the person you're talking about?"

Zhou Ru thought about it for a long time before he remembered some information about the woman.

"That happened several years ago. I can't remember the full name, but I only remember the surname Qi."

He paused, and then said: "She has a very close relationship with the Ye Mansion, and seems to be a relative of someone in the Ye Mansion."

"Yes, I remember." Zhuo Yibai nodded lightly, "Thank you Mr. Zhou for your guidance."

"My lord, you're being polite." Zhou Ru said with a smile, "It's my honor to be able to serve you."

"Ah."

Zhuo Yibai nodded lightly, "Then ask Mr. Zhou to draw the woman I described."

This person's clues seemed to be broken, but he did not give up.

He didn't believe that he couldn't find the girl with the portrait.

"it is good."

Zhou Ru took out a pen and paper, and traced on the paper the appearance of the woman Zhuo Yibai described.

After a while, there was a heroic woman on the paper.

Compared with the face in Zhuo Yibai's memory, it is already [-]% similar.

"Well drawn."

Zhuo Yibai carefully looked at the scroll in his hand, and praised it.

"Thank you for your compliment, young master." Zhou Ru said modestly.

Zhuo Yibai put away the paper and ordered Wei Yu to present the bank note.

Wei Yu wondered in her heart, this artist's reward is not small.

Zhou Ru hurriedly took it, and immediately smiled and cupped his hands to express his gratitude: "My lord, you are welcome."

After Zhou Ru left, Zhuo Yibai sat on the chair in silence for a long time, then suddenly raised his hand and knocked on the table, "Wei Yu, ask someone to check the details of the woman surnamed Qi in Ye Mansion."

"Yes, young master." Wei Yu nodded, and immediately ordered someone to do it.

At dusk, Zhuo Yibai shut himself in the study after eating his snacks.

The matter of visiting the Ye Mansion still needs to be considered properly.

Just a while ago, he suddenly remembered the situation when Miss Naye fled with him.

The person who chased after them that day seemed to be the girl's enemy.

Is she currently hiding in a corner of Ye Mansion due to unavoidable reasons?

So that he and his second brother searched all over to no avail?

"Master, my subordinates have found it."

At this moment, Wei Yu's report came from outside.

"Come in." Zhuo Yibai raised his hand to signal Wei Yu to enter the study.

Wei Yu walked in, sat down on the stool next to Zhuo Yibai, and said with a serious expression: "According to what I heard from my subordinates, the woman's name is Qi Duanshu, she is in her twenties, and she seems to be the housekeeper of Yefu. Daughter. I seldom show up on weekdays, and very few people know her."

"Oh? The housekeeper's daughter?"

Zhuo Yibai raised his eyebrows, thinking of the heroic spirit on Miss Ye's eyebrows, and the age of the two
Could it be that the two are relatives?
"Any other clues?"

"It's gone." Wei Yu shook her head, and said again: "It seems that Qi Duanshu is no longer in Jindu. According to the aunt near her gate, she hasn't seen her go out for two days."

"She's not in Jindu?" Zhuo Yibai's eyes flickered in deep thought, if this is the case, Qi Duanshu's clue will be broken.

He originally wanted to go to this girl surnamed Qi to inquire about it before making any plans.

Now it seems that I can only go to Ye Mansion first.

"Yibai!"

Zhuo Yibai was about to put away the portrait on the table when he heard a soft cry from behind him, he stopped and turned to look.

Outside the door, Zhuo Tianxin stood in the courtyard and looked at him, as if he had been waiting for a long time.

She was wearing a goose yellow dress, wearing a double bun with a flying moon bun, and a gold-plated pearl hairpin, with light makeup on her face, she looked very beautiful and moving.

"Tianxin," Zhuo Yibai called out, "Why are you here?"

There was a little surprise in his tone.

The sun was still a little strong at this hour, Zhuo Tian was afraid of getting sunburned, so he was determined not to go out usually.

Zhuo Tianxin approached and said with a smile: "I heard that you were admiring the paintings in the yard, so I came here specially to have a look. How long will it take for your injury to heal?"

"It will be all right in a few days."

Zhuo Yibai had a look of doubt on his face.

Since the last time he woke up from poisoning, Zhuo Tianxin had some strange things.

He kept insinuating about the details of the girl who sent him back.

When he wanted to ask what happened in Zhuo Wang's mansion that day, Zhuo Tianxin was vague.

He remembered that while he was in a coma, he was always panicked by something, and he vaguely touched a delicate object, but he couldn't find it after waking up, as if it was a dream.

Ask Zhuo Tianxin again, but see her nervousness for a moment.

Can't help but make him very suspicious.

Seeing his appearance like this, Zhuo Tianxin couldn't help being slightly startled.

"What's the matter? Why are you looking at me with a wary face? Am I a bad person?" She blinked, showing a grievance.

"No, it's just that I still feel a little unwell." Zhuo Yibai put away the doubts in his heart and said softly.

Although he was injured, he didn't suffer any serious internal injuries. As long as he recuperates well, he will fully recover in a few days.

It's just that the person who was in danger with him that day didn't know what happened.

He remembered that her injury was not light.

After he was fully awake the day before yesterday, he told Zhuo Mingxuan the inside story of that day.

After Zhuo Mingxuan heard this, he became even more anxious about finding the box.

After all, the girl's identity is unknown, and she is also being pursued by her enemies, so it can be said that she is in a dangerous situation.

If they couldn't find someone before something happened to her, the clue to this box might be broken.

Seeing that he didn't suspect anything, Zhuo Tian felt at ease, and said again: "Yi Bai, I came to see you specially today, why don't you seem very happy?"

"How come?" Zhuo Yibai smiled, "It's you, why did you come here suddenly?"

"I..." Zhuo Tianxin hesitated, and finally said, "I am worried about you."

When she spoke, her eyes dodged a little.
