At this moment, Shang Ruyi's pupils suddenly turned black, like a clear and clear lake suddenly turned into a bottomless abyss, the clarity was gone, only the depth and darkness remained.

But even so, she could feel her hot eyes staring down.

Especially the person who stopped Song Shiyan.

Although that person was wearing a commoner clothes whose identity could not be seen, she was petite, with a slender and delicate appearance, obviously a woman, and her face was covered with a veil.

The palm-sized cotton cloth is tied behind the ears by two cotton ropes, a very convenient veil.

Being stopped suddenly, Song Shiyan was also a little surprised. Just as he lowered his head to ask, he saw the woman raise her hand and offered him a bundle with both hands.

Song Shiyan froze, and suddenly opened his eyes wide.

The next moment, he immediately got off the horse, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, the woman seemed to be wary of something, and immediately took a step back, backing to a place where Song Shiyan couldn't touch her, then raised her hands again, and sent the burden to her. to his face.

This move obviously has an obvious intention.

Only send things, don't ask about the origin.

And what's in that bag—

Shang Ruyi held her breath, and stared at the bag fixedly. Although it was the size of a pillow, it was very light. The woman's slender arms were lifted and lifted casually without any effort, and she said to Song Shiyan After a few words, Song Shiyan frowned, looked at the other party, and then at the baggage.

Finally reached out and took it.

But when it came to the burden, he obviously hesitated, his eyes flickered slightly, and he looked up at the second floor of the restaurant where Shang Ruyi was.

And the woman seemed to be very startled, and the moment she saw him look up, she also turned her head and looked over.

Behind the window, Shang Ruyi's scrutinizing eyes met.

Immediately, she was like a frightened deer, turning around and running away. Song Shiyan subconsciously reached out to pull her, but the burden on his hand made him somewhat restrained. Seems to have noticed what happened here, came over to ask, just blocked him.

The woman turned around and ran several feet away.

"Miss!"

Seeing this situation, Tusheer immediately opened her eyes wide, clenched her fists as if she wanted to fall down from the window, but Shang Ruyi narrowed her eyes slightly, and immediately said: "Go!"

As soon as the words fell, a figure rushed out of the private room like an arrow that left the string.

It's Lying Snow.

Her speed was so fast that Tusheer heard her coming downstairs in the blink of an eye, hurriedly murmured "Wait for me", and jumped out after her.

Seeing that they both left, Shang Ruyi paused again, and took another look out through the window.

Then, he also walked out of the private room.

Just when the three of them left the restaurant, and the hustle and bustle gradually subsided, a low, smiling voice came from the private room next door, which was still asking for wine and food: "Little Er , settle accounts."

However, the voice didn't stop Wo Xue's swift footsteps, and she rushed down the restaurant in an instant. Seeing that slender figure was about to merge into the noisy crowd in front of the city gate, she rushed up and grabbed him. That girl's arm!

"stop!"

"what!"

The woman was caught off guard and let out a low cry of panic. When she turned around, she revealed a pair of terrified and bewildered eyes. She was about to struggle subconsciously to get rid of Wo Xue's shackles, but Wo Xue grabbed her, so how could she let her go? , pinching the opponent's wrist with one hand, even though the woman struggled and fiddled with it, she couldn't break free.

Tushe'er, who rushed out of the restaurant right after her, charged forward with a stride, grabbed the woman's other hand, and said, "I'll let you run!"

The woman was caught by them and couldn't get away, so she could only keep shouting: "What are you going to do?"

"What? What do you say we are going to do?"

While speaking, Tusheer had already stretched out her hand, grabbed the veil covering the woman's face, pulled it hard, and the two cotton ropes snapped, revealing a strange and ordinary face.

It was a young girl in her twenties with rough skin and a frightened expression.

Seeing this strange face, Wo Xue and Tu She'er were also a little dazed, but they also knew in their hearts that the person they came here today to "wait for a rabbit" was probably someone who had never shown up, let alone someone they had never seen before, so , even if it is an unfamiliar face, it is not surprising.

Tusheer threw away the veil, looked the woman up and down again, and said, "Who are you!?"

"I, I am not someone? Let me go!"

"Still pretending to be garlic? Did you take medicine just now? Where did you get the medicine?"

"What medicine, I don't know what you are talking about."

Seeing her pretending to be ignorant of every question, Tusheer became furious and wanted to press her again, but Wo Xue saw the woman's panicked and bewildered expression from the beginning to the end, and she immediately felt it. What, pulled the woman to the front, stared at her face to face, and said in a deep voice: "We are from the Duke's Mansion, and we are interrogating you now! What is your name? Where did you come from?"

As soon as she heard the words "Guogongfu", the woman turned pale with fright, her legs gave way and she almost fell down.

Fortunately, Wo Xue grabbed her hard, and Tusher also grabbed her other arm, and managed to lift her up. The woman's eyes were red, and she cried, "I don't know, someone gave it to me." I'll give you a tael of silver, let me come over and deliver the burden to the official who rides out of the city on horseback, and I'll come. I just work in the rice shop in front, and I really don't know anything."

"what?"

Tusher was taken aback, subconsciously felt that she was lying, and said with a sneer, "Do you think we will believe any lie?"

But Wo Xue frowned and looked at the woman again, and said softly: "Sister She'er, she may not have lied."

"Huh? Why?"

"Look at her clothes."

Tusheer looked down, only to see that although the woman was only wearing plain clothes, her lower body was still wearing a robe, which was covered with a layer of white ash. of white foam.

Looking at the woman carefully, the skin is rough and the appearance is ordinary. She really doesn't look like someone who works in a big family, and after being pressed by the two of them, the woman almost collapsed in fright, crying: "I really don't I know, you guys, look at me, I only have that tael of silver, which was given to me by the person who called me. I, I’ll give it to you, I don’t know anything about it.”

Tushe'er was still not reconciled, she stretched out her hand to touch it, and sure enough, she took out a tael of silver from her bosom.

And judging from the appearance of her clothes, she really didn't look like someone who could take a tael of silver with her to the streets.

The two looked at each other, and suddenly felt a sense of uneasiness in their hearts.

Did you catch the wrong person?

No, it's not that they caught the wrong person, but—

Wo Xue gritted her teeth, grabbed the woman's wrist, and said in a deep voice, "Who asked you to deliver the things?"

The woman was already crying with tears streaming down her face, and stammered: "I, I don't know, it's just a big sister who is about the same age as you and this girl, she asked me to come."

"What does the other party look like?"

"I didn't see it either. She had that on her face—she gave me another one later, and asked me to bring it with me when I came to the city gate to deliver things, so I took it with me."

"..."

"I really don't know who she is, two girls, please let me go."

At this moment, Wo Xue frowned and was panting like a cow, but she couldn't help but slowly let go of her hand.

Although there was no torture or anything, her previous experience made her somewhat understand how to tell if a person was lying. The woman in front of her did not seem to be lying, and her background and what she said were also correct.

To be more correct, what Shang Ruyi reminded them before——

The other party is a very cunning, very cunning person.

So cunning, along the way, they fell for each other several times, and nearly lost their lives, but until now, they don't even know who the other is, what they look like, what their origins are, and they don't even know whether they are male or female.

I thought that this time, I could finally win the round, but I didn't expect——the opponent actually saved a move.

Tusheer also let go of the woman, and stomped her feet fiercely: "It's a failure!"

Lying Xue also frowned.

But at the next moment, she suddenly glanced around, then looked back at the restaurant, and said, "Sister Sheer, where is the Young Madam?!"

|
While the two of them were struggling with the young woman, a carriage drove slowly along the path to the back door of the restaurant, and then, a light figure came out leisurely.

With the help of the maid who followed the carriage, he dexterously got into the carriage.

The maid lowered the curtain and asked softly: "Miss, shall we go back to the residence now?"

A low "hmm" sounded in the carriage, and the maid immediately turned to greet the driver: "Let's go."

"Yes."

The coachman didn't say much, and immediately raised his hand to whip the horse, but just as he raised his hand, his arm froze, his eyes opened wide, and he looked ahead in amazement.

This is not a narrow road, but it is only enough for a carriage to enter and exit. A person walked out leisurely and stopped in front.

It was a gorgeously dressed young woman with a beautiful appearance and a leisurely look, but with a sense of oppression that was not angry and majestic. She was no more than 20 years old at the most, and the neat bun on the back of her head also showed that she was married. And obviously, she is the wife of a wealthy family.

But here, they stopped their carriage.

The coachman hesitated for a moment, but still said politely: "Madam, we are leaving here, please move."

But standing in front of them, with hands behind their backs, the lady who was looking at the familiar carriage with burning eyes was none other than someone who was just sitting in the private room on the second floor drinking tea and gossiping. After that, they rushed downstairs with Tusheer and the others, but Shang Ruyi was nowhere to be seen.

She pursed her lips and smiled, but there was no smile in her eyes.

Staring at the curtain of the car that was hanging down as if frozen, she said loudly: "I've been waiting here, Your Excellency, still don't want to show up?"

"..."

"Does it have to be me—seeing the moon through the clouds?"
