Pretending to be jealous in the arms of Dali Temple

Three days later, the inn.

Autumn Rain in Lingjiang Mansion came as soon as he said it.

Looking out from the window, the autumn wind is bleak, and the face is depressed.

Wan Yan curled up on the bed, wrapped in a quilt, and slowly put down the thick file in her hand.

A sigh.

Hearing the sigh, Su Jizhi put down the scroll in his hand, and smiled at the corner of his mouth, "What's wrong?"

Wan Yan gathered the quilt, she didn't know if the temperature in the room was too low, or she felt cold inside, "My lord, after I read the file, the whole case is clear."

Su Jizhi felt that the little girl was in a bad mood, and comforted him, "A person who commits crimes is not worthy of sympathy. Is there something you don't understand about Liao Niang?"

"No, after all, she is someone I know well, and it ended up like this in the end. I feel somewhat sad."

The two of them looked out of the window at the same time, large raindrops hit the window lattice, and the sky and the earth were covered with mist.

"What's so sad? Liao Fu has no bottom line in life, and there is no friendship in her heart. Such a person can only end like this."

Wan Yan sighed, "Is Liao Niang doing meticulous work for the sake of glory and wealth?"

"Zhang Xiuhua and Liao Zhicheng's reconciliation ten years ago has already planted a seed of restlessness in Liao Niang's heart. Even if she doesn't become a master, she will not be at ease to be her cook in the capital."

Wan Yan felt cold, and the quilt wrapped her little head tightly.

Su Jizhi stared at the little white rabbit from a distance, his fair face was wrapped in a quilt, his lips were red and his teeth were white, making him even more charming.

"Wan Yan, your unscrupulous image in front of me?"

Wan Yan laughed, I don't know when she began to trust and rely on adults more and more, and acted like herself unscrupulously in front of him.

"It's cold?" Su Jizhi asked, very puzzled. The weather in early autumn was only getting cooler, but the little girl was clutching the quilt like the twelfth lunar month.

"It's okay now. It won't be cold anymore. I just read the file and thought too much, so I can't help shivering."

Wan Yan looked at the window, listened to the sound of rain, and asked, "My lord, it's raining so hard, when are we going back to Beijing?"

Su Jizhi brought a cup of hot tea to the bedside and handed it to Wan Yan, "If it wasn't for the heavy rain, we would already be on our way back to Beijing, but that way, we would lose the chance to be alone with Wan Yan."

Wan Yan took the hot tea, took a sip, and wrapped herself in a quilt, "That's right, brewing tea like this and listening to the rain can soothe your heart, and it's rare for an adult to be pure."

Su Jizhi put down his teacup and sat on the bed, "How about it? Do you want to talk about the case?"

Wan Yan smiled happily; "I knew that adults understand my heart best."

After getting along for a few days, Wan Yan naturally approached Su Jizhi, "Aren't you cold, sir?"

Su Jizhi rested his head on his arms and leaned on the head of the bed relaxedly, "My heart is very hot."

Wan Yan smiled lightly, and then she was a little lost, "My lord, what will happen to Liao Niang in the end?"

"What else? Collaborating with the enemy and treason will lead to death."

Wan Yan still remembers that night two years ago, when Liao Niang turned her away, thinking about it, Liao Niang had already done the secret work of Nanzhao Kingdom at that time.

If Liao Niang had helped her at that time, would the fate of the two of them have been completely different?

"Afraid?" The adult asked with a smile as if he had seen through her mind.

"I dare not think, if Liao Niang helped me back then, and I owed her a huge favor, I can't judge now, what choice I would have made at that moment."

Su Jizhi slowly lowered his face, "Different choices will lead to different results. If Master Xue is still here, your life will be completely different."

Su Jizhi smiled, staring at Wanyan closely, with a hint of desperation for fate in his eyes as deep as lacquer ink: "If that's the case, we won't meet each other either."

Wan Yan lowered her eyes, yes, she had thought more than once that everything was the best arrangement between her and the adults, neither sooner nor later.

"Do you still remember the look in Liao Niang's eyes when she caught her that night?" Su Jizhi asked.

"It's unbelievable, the pain is overwhelming, and I don't want to be outdone."

"Hahaha, Wan Yan, these three sets of adjectives are indeed a true portrayal of Liao Furong that night."

"Oh, thinking about that day, I feel uncomfortable. Let's not talk about Liao Niang, my lord. I'm curious how you found Liao Rong?"

Su Jizhi's expression was relaxed, concealing his complacency, "It's very simple. After I suspected that Liao Rong hadn't disappeared, I sent two people to follow Zhang Xiuhua day and night, and you, Wanyan, were of great help."

Suddenly receiving a compliment, Wan Yan said in a daze, "Why did I help so much?"

"The suspicion of the servant girl has been ruled out. You and the servant girl seemed to be chatting away that day, but you have narrowed down the scope of suspects. The servant girl has no idea about Liao Rong's situation, so the only person who lied is Zhang Xiuhua."

The corner of Su Jizhi's mouth mocked, "Zhang Kairong was killed, and Zhang Xiuhua couldn't rub his hands, so the only person who knew about Liao Rong's disappearance must be Zhang Xiuhua. I believe Zhang Xiuhua hid Liao Rong."

"I also had a flash of thought that Zhang Xiuhua was an insider in the whole thing, but I didn't dare to think about it, and I didn't believe it. It seems that I still underestimated people's hearts."

"Do you know what Liao Furong did before leaving the capital?" Su Jizhi asked.

Wan Yan glanced at the file, there was no record on it, she shook her head.

"We sent a letter back to the capital that day, and Miao Hong quickly found out the result of the investigation. She secretly sold the house deed and left the house with the money. When Miao Hong found Liao Zhicheng, he still didn't believe that his daughter had left him."

"Why is Liao Niang so persistent in going to Nanzhao?"

"Zhang Kairong drew her a big cake, and she believed it, and after she met Zhang Xiuhua, she felt dissatisfied with Liao Rong's life. She is also a daughter, why does she eat bran and swallow vegetables?"

"Mother Liao didn't explain why she and Liao Rong are called Liao Furong?"

Su Jizhi shook his head lightly, "The reason is puzzling, but I guess they are still preparing for going to Nanzhao. After all, it is more convenient for them to do things because they have the same face."

"That really lied to us."

"Who would have thought?"

"Where's Yu Qing? What's his situation?"

"That's the confidant of King Nanzhao and a militant. Yu Qing didn't play a good role in Nanzhao's relationship with Daqi like it is now."

"It's really ironic. Sure enough, one person can change everything."

"Where's Zhang Kairong? Ruan Jingshan killed him for money?" Wan Yan continued to ask.

"Ruan Jingshan owed a lot of money from gambling. He knew that Zhang Kairong brought a lot of money to Bao'an Mansion, so he became murderous and planned to blame Zhao Ren."

Thinking of the course of the case, Su Jizhi also secretly called it a coincidence: "Ruan Jingshan never dreamed that Zhang Kairong was a secret agent, and he went to Bao'an Mansion to pick up Liao Fu to Nanzhao."

Wan Yan also felt that something was wrong: "Ruan Jingshan confessed that he bribed Fan San with money, and Fan San got Zhao Da drunk, and he waited in the cabin before that time, Zhang Kairong strangled him after entering the cabin, took the money and ran home, Pretending to be calm and coming to the pier, it is really well-planned."

"So now that the evidence is solid, Ruan Jingshan cannot escape the death penalty."

"Is Zhao Da happy?"

"That's right, a lot of fish were sent to the Yamen on the day of release, and they were all given to him by the neighbors."

Tears welled up in Wan Yan's eyes, "Yeah, it's not easy for him, for four months, just stay inside like this, if he wasn't a determined person, he would have collapsed a long time ago."

"Speaking of which, I admire Zhao Da very much, but what reason do I have to envy him?"

Wan Yan's voice was soft, and she comforted, "What reason do adults need to envy others? Just as many people look up to adults, we need to look up."

Su Jizhi laughed loudly, "Height-sightedness is good, is that so?" As he spoke, he leaned forward, leaning against Wan Yan's face and looking straight into her eyes.

Wan Yan's small head was hidden under the quilt, and her exposed eyes were shining brightly.

Not dodging, not shy, Wan Yan looked into the depths of the adult's eyes.

The two looked at each other, Su Jizhi held the back of Wan Yan's head, and the two of them were breathing stalemate.

The wind and rain were blowing outside the window, Wan Yan remained motionless, facing the adults, closing her eyes...
