Pretending to be jealous in the arms of Dali Temple

Chapter 84 I've seen that girl

Qingyang Painting and Calligraphy Studio.

After Wan Yan came back from the inn, she just leaned behind the counter and her mind was fluctuating, and she didn't care about doing things.

Lu Mingyu disappeared?

In the letter sent by Lord Wang of Lingjiang Mansion just now, the person mentioned must be that girl.

"Shopkeeper Xu, do you still remember that many days ago, a girl named Lu came to our place looking for work?"

Shopkeeper Xu recalled and nodded, "Oh, I have a little impression, what's wrong?"

"She might be missing."

Shopkeeper Xu was stunned, and put down the scroll in his hand.

Ever since Wanyan entered the calligraphy and painting studio today, shopkeeper Xu noticed that her expression was wrong, and it turned out to be the reason.

"Miss Wanyan recognizes Miss Lu?"

"I don't know. When I went out with my lord this morning, it happened that the lord of the Lingjiang mansion sent a letter of investigation. The girl's name is Lu Mingyu. I think it should be that girl."

Shopkeeper Xu was stunned for a long time, not without regrets, "Could she have gone to another place?"

Wan Yan suddenly understood what the adults thought, he hoped that everyone would be safe than that something happened.

The result he most hopes to see is for the girls to report to their families that they are safe in a few days.

"I hope so too."

She remembered that she followed Miao Tutou to Penglai Inn to paint Shang Wenli's portrait just now.

The red and swollen eyes and flustered mood of the old couple still make Wan Yan's heart sour.

Now there is another Lu Mingyu.

"Huh? I remembered. A few days after Miss Lu came to our calligraphy and painting studio, I saw her on the street, but she didn't see me at that time, so I just let it go." Shopkeeper Xu said suddenly.

Wan Yan's heart tightened, "When? Where?"

"Let's think about it, she has been in our calligraphy and painting studio for more than ten days, right?"

The two moved forward little by little, and finally confirmed that it was eighteen days ago.

Wan Yan was a little excited in her heart, she didn't tell the lord this detail just now, which means that Lu Mingyu was indeed still in Tongshan Mansion eighteen days ago.

"That was five days later. That day I went to the west of the city to pick up our custom-made scroll. Yes, that was the day. I saw her on the way back."

"Shopkeeper Xu think about it again, what other details are there? What clothes is she wearing? Is she alone? Or is she with others?"

"Oh, I didn't pay attention to what she was wearing. She was in a hurry, holding a small package in her hand. I was sitting in the carriage and passed by. I thought about it for a while. This girl looked familiar. Where did I see her?" How about it?"

Shopkeeper Xu smiled regretfully: "After thinking about it for a while, I realized that she was the little girl who came to look for a job. She was alone at the time, and that's all I saw."

But a clue is better than nothing.

Although shopkeeper Xu's words are not of much value, they can make Wan Yan confirm one thing. Lu Mingyu appeared in Tongshan Mansion thirteen days ago.

The period of her disappearance was shortened by a few days.

If she thinks this way, Wan Yan really hopes that she has gone to work somewhere, and maybe she will go home sometime.

All morning, Wan Yan was restless.

One is Lu Mingyu and the other is Shang Wenli.

Why did the two girls disappear at the same time?Could there be any connection between them?

Until Su Jizhi walked into Qingyang Painting and Calligraphy Studio, the little girl was still scribbling on the paper, writing many names of Lu Mingyu and monk Wenli.

Seeing Su Jizhi coming, shopkeeper Xu chatted about having lunch.

Wan Yan followed Su Jizhi into the inner room.

"What? Are you still angry with me?" Su Jizhi walked into the inner room, loosening the round neckline with a fawning expression on his face.

The little girl didn't ask him if he was hot like before?Are you tired?Do you want some water?
Su Jizhi was very disappointed, and also realized that he had a bad attitude in the morning, and his little girl could definitely question him.

Seeing that Wanyan still didn't respond, Su Jizhi had no choice but to take a soft handkerchief and soak it in the cold water in the tub to quickly wipe the sweat off his face.

Wan Yan had long forgotten what happened in the morning, and when the adults mentioned it, shadows cast over Wan Yan's eyes.

"My lord, let's put the matter between us aside for a moment. Miao Tutou and I went to the inn. Shang Wenli's portrait has already been sent out?"

Su Jizhi laughed, the little girl was more concerned about this matter than he was.

But the little girl stared at him after wiping his face, and habitually took the handkerchief to wash and put it on the beam.

Su Jizhi picked up Wanyan's cup, took a sip of water, and the hotness in his heart eased a lot.

Sitting back on the chair, Su Jizhi said softly, "As you ordered, the portraits have been distributed in Chengmen, Tongshan Street, and several medium-sized hotels."

Wan Yan was a little embarrassed.

"My lord, do you think Shang Wenli and Lu Mingyu's disappearance have anything to do with it?"

Shopkeeper Xu knocked on the door and walked in, handed over the food box and walked out.

Su Jizhi took out his lunch one by one, tapped Wan Yan's forehead with his chopsticks, "It's time to eat, don't think about them yet."

Wan Yan felt a pain in her forehead, and raised her eyes, "My lord, I haven't forgiven you yet, and you hit me again, and I can't forgive you."

Hearing this, Su Jizhi quickly pointed the chopsticks at himself and knocked hard several times, "Is this okay? It's yours."

Wan Yan snorted, and grabbed the lord's sleeve, "Seriously, lord, why did they disappear together?"

Su Jizhi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "How about this, you can eat at ease, and we will talk while eating."

"I can't eat it." Wan Yan broke off a small piece of steamed bun and put it in her mouth, then moved her body to the adult's side.

"My lord, tell me, what do you think?"

Seeing that the little girl was so caring, Su Jizhi put down his chopsticks and said softly, "Whether there is a relationship between them is still unclear. Let's put it this way, there are many people who cannot be contacted in Tongshan Mansion every day, and most of them go home safely in the end." .”

"But it's not right, my lord. I just feel uneasy in my heart. I always feel that something is wrong."

Su Jizhi put a piece of sauced beef in front of Wanyan.

The little girl sat opposite him, the two of them were almost knee-to-knee, because they were all focused on the two girls, Wan Yan opened her mouth naturally, even supported his thigh with her hands, and faced him seriously.

It was Su Jizhi's turn to feel hot.

"Don't think badly first, they are all people who often work outside, and they should have a certain ability to distinguish. Maybe they really left Tongshan Mansion and went to other places."

Su Jizhi fed the little girl another bite of vegetables.

"My lord, did the Lord King of Lingjiang Mansion send you a assisted investigation notice before?" Wan Yan wanted to distinguish the urgency of this matter from the bottom of her heart.

"It's very normal to pass this kind of official documents between government offices, and it doesn't mean anything."

"That's good. It means that something happened to Lu Mingyu, it's just that her family members are in a hurry and want Mrs. Wang to help her find it?"

Su Jizhi nodded.

"So Shang Wenli is in Fengyuan Mansion, and the prefect of Fengyuan Mansion should normally send an investigation notice?"

"It's supposed to be like this."

"But don't you think it's a coincidence, my lord? Both girls have disappeared in Tongshan Mansion, and it's been a while."

Su Jizhi put down the bowl and chopsticks, and frowned slightly.

"Let's put this kind of coincidence aside. Let's put it this way, there are a lot of people who report missing every month. Some people are trapped in the mountains, and some people go out on the water and encounter heavy rain. All kinds of uncertain encounters affect the return date. , you still don't get too entangled, let's take it one step at a time."

Wan Yan knew she was worried, she just didn't want anything to happen to the girls.

At this time, Shopkeeper Xu's voice sounded, "Miss Wanyan, Boss Liu came to see you and said he has something important to do."

Saying that, Liu Ya had already pushed open the door, and ran towards Wan Yan in a panic, "Wan Yan, I've seen the girl in the portrait at the street entrance."
