Pretending to be jealous in the arms of Dali Temple

Chapter 16 Bargaining
No sleep for one night.

Wan Yan's future is uncertain, and Su Jizhi's heart is in turmoil.

At that time, Xue Wanyan walked to the gate of Su Jizhi's courtyard with dark circles under her eyes.

Last night she made a decision.

Help Su Jizhi catch the murderer, and then use this as a condition to ask Su Jizhi to help her redeem her body.

As for the silver, she can pay it back!
Stretching out his head to look into the yard, the small carved window is open, and there is no sound in the yard.

The adults are not awake yet.

But Wan Yan clearly smelled the cold sandalwood fragrance from Su Jizhi's body.

The girl sniffed a few more times, and her judgment was correct.

While hesitating, a yamen servant came with a food box, and when he saw Wanyan, he smiled from afar.

It was the jailer who guarded the prison the day before yesterday.

The jailer sneered and said, "Morning! Miss Wanyan is looking for Mr. Su?"

Wan Yan complained in her heart why the jailer wasn't greedy for money?He really gave her hairpin to Su Jizhi and betrayed her mercilessly.

On the other hand, I also lamented that Su Jizhi was very good at winning people's hearts, knowing and employing people, and everyone in Tongshan Mansion was protecting him.

"Brother Jailor regards gold and silver as dung, but Wan Yan looks at them with admiration." The girl's tone was weak and sour.

The jailer straightened the hat on his head and laughed loudly: "I made the girl laugh. We are trusted by adults to do this job, and we cannot live up to the expectations of adults. I hope the girl understands."

Saying that he understood, the jailer felt embarrassed when they met Wan Yan: "Before the adults doubted the girl, I must not know the law and break the law. Now that I know the girl is innocent, I will also apologize to the girl here."

"That's unnecessary." Thinking about what the jailer said, Wan Yan can understand his thoughts, so it's better to take advantage of the situation to ask for favors, "I saw that the elder brother wanted to bring breakfast to the adults. I don't know what flavors the adults like?"

The jailer has long felt that there is something strange between the Lord and Miss Wanyan. Do you think Master Su suspects Miss Wanyan?

But let her stay in the west courtyard.

You said that my lord is good to Wan Yan, but I didn't do anything special.

The jailer concluded that the relationship between Mr. Su and Miss Wanyan is a bit confusing anyway.

As for the preferences of adults, there is nothing to hide.

The jailer often delivered meals to Su Jizhi, so he really knew a thing or two.

"We Mrs. Su don't pick anything when we come to Tongshan Mansion for the past two months. We will give you something to eat, and you will like it."

Wan Yan wondered, adults don't even have a preference for food?
Thinking about how serious Su Jizhi is on weekdays, always with a cold face, he looks like a very picky eater.

Wan Yan looked at the food box: "I just happened to go to find Mr. Su, how about I help elder brother bring it over earlier?"

The jailer hesitated, with refusal written all over his face.

Su Jizhi happened to appear at the gate of the courtyard.

"My lord!" the jailer asked.

Su Jizhi nodded, and the jailer secretly slandered him.

In fact, Su Jizhi had been standing in the shadow beside the moon gate.

After tossing and turning all night, he was not sure what attitude he should use to face the girl.

Trying to adjust his mood and attitude, Su Jizhi said with a cold face, "Miss Wanyan, what's the matter?"

Wan Yan feels that the adult's temperament is a little cloudy and uncertain.

"Yesterday, my lord said that I want Wan Yan to help catch the murderer. Wan Yan thought about it all night. Just tell Wan Yan what my lord wants to do."

Wan Yan lowered her eyes, and just now, she found that the adult's eyes were black, his face was haggard, and he seemed to have been sleepless all night.

What is it for, my lord?
Wan Yan lowered her head, only then did Su Jizhi dare to look at the girl carefully, she quietly lowered her hands.

Today, she is wearing a lotus yellow embroidered myrobalan skirt, which is graceful and feminine.

There was a faint sense of loss between his brows.

She is completely different from the girl who danced under the moon yesterday.

If she was enthusiastic last night, today she is elegant and delicate.

Which one is the real her?

"In this case, I thank Miss Wanyan."

"I can agree to my lord, but there are also conditions. My lord owed me a favor yesterday. If the two superimpose, my lord will definitely not lose."

Wan is firm on the cigarette holder, but flickering in his heart.

She is bargaining with Su Jizhi.

Su Jizhi saw that the little girl was pretending to be calm: "I listen to the girl."

The condition he could think of was that Wan Yan wanted to borrow his hand and reject Wang Yuanwai.

Wan Yan was taken aback by Su Jizhi's affirmative answer, but also elated.

Lifting the food box in her hand, the little girl smiled like a flower, and a big rock fell to the ground, "My lord, it's early."

Su Jizhi took it, opened it to have a look, it was enough for two people.

"If Miss Wanyan doesn't mind, I want to talk to the girl about the case again."

Of course Wan Yan was happy, and at the same time reminded Su Jizhi timidly: "My lord, my condition may be a bit difficult, but my lord should be able to do it. After I help you catch the murderer, will you agree to any request?"

Su Jizhi stopped: "How about Miss Wanyan talk about it now?"

Wan Yan shook her head: "I haven't done anything now, and it sounds like my lord is making progress. Only when I help you catch the murderer will I have the confidence to make a request. If you don't agree at that time, your lord will break your promise. In my opinion, That's great."

The little girl said so much in one breath, Su Jizhi smiled from the bottom of her heart, her mouth was still cold: "As long as you can do what you can, Su will never break his promise."

Look, your lord claims to have changed from me, the official, to Su.

Looking back at the rising sun, Wan Yan felt hope rising in her heart.

Breakfast is very simple, cornmeal steamed buns, three side dishes, cold lettuce, potato shreds, and pickled cucumbers.

A bowl of very thick rice porridge, an egg, and two pieces of honey osmanthus cakes that are not too soft.

The osmanthus cake was not fermented enough, the heat was too high during steaming, and the edges were a bit mushy.

Wan Yan sat at the square table, facing Su Jizhi.

From entering the room, Wan Yan was looking at Su Jizhi's living room.

Unlike the study room, the decoration here is simpler.

The wooden carved pine bed is placed at the innermost side of the room.

Under the window is a desk with a few books, pens and ink on it.

The bristles on the tip of the brush are dry and hard, it seems that Su Jizhi doesn't often write here.

Opposite the desk is a wardrobe with a green bamboo screen, the door of which is closed tightly.

Next to the closet is the square table where she and Su Jizhi are sitting, and there are half-burned candles on the table.

Wan Yan sat quietly, watching Su Jizhi take out breakfast one by one from the food box.

Taking advantage of the gap, Su Jizhi secretly looked at the little girl.

He found that she was staring at the sweet-scented osmanthus cake.

After putting away the food, Su Jizhi handed Wan Yan a pair of bowls and chopsticks, and said softly, "The kitchen has a habit of sending two sets of bowls and chopsticks every day, saying that I am afraid that I will not be able to eat if I accidentally drop the bowls and chopsticks. Today, Coincidentally."

Wan Yan took it with a smile, "It is my honor to have breakfast with you."

The breakfast was placed on the table, and Su Jizhi was at a loss for a while, "Miss Wanyan, what do you want to eat?"

In fact, Wan Yan wanted to discover his taste even more.

"Adults choose first, Wanyan is not picky about what he eats."

Su Jizhi brought the sweet-scented osmanthus cake to Wan Yan: "Girl, feel free, these are popular tastes, I think girls like this."

Wan Yan was a little surprised, and shook her head: "This sweet-scented osmanthus cake is not too hot, and to tell you the truth, I prefer rice porridge."

Su Jizhi brought the rice porridge to Wan Yan.

But the little girl had been staring at the sweet-scented osmanthus cake just now.

So Su Jizhi picked up the sweet-scented osmanthus cake with his first chopsticks, he wanted to taste what the little girl liked.

After pushing and giving away, the two concluded that the other party liked to eat sweet-scented osmanthus cake.
