Xin You's actions stunned He Qingxiao.

Does Miss Kou love this dessert so much?

He Qingxiao fell into deep thought as his eyes fell on the plate with only residues left: So, just now, Miss Kou ordered the clerk to take away the plate, so that she can continue eating after he leaves?

After leaving it for a period of time, the crispy shell became a little soft. Xinyou's face did not change and he ate the food in his mouth, but his mentality almost collapsed.

I have never done such a shameful thing in my life.

Sweeping the young man across from her again, she sighed in her heart: it's all because of shopkeeper Hu's nonsense, which affected her.

Xin You picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea to suppress the embarrassment: "Master He, won't you go to the Yamen today?"

"Come to find Miss Kou to understand something." He Qingxiao pretended not to notice the girl's intention to see off the guests.

"Master He, please tell me."

"Miss Kou, do you still remember that I mentioned earlier that there is a case under investigation involving Guchangbo's mansion?"

Xin You nodded slightly, her heart lifted.

The next thing she was going to meet was Uncle Guchang's mansion, and the information about Uncle Guchang's mansion had to be taken seriously.

He Qingxiao looked into Xin You's eyes: "I want to know why Miss Kou pays attention to Guchangbo's Mansion."

Xinyou's hand holding the teacup tightened, and the turmoil in her heart was concealed by her calm eyes: "Whether I pay attention to Guchangbo Mansion has something to do with the case Mr. He is investigating?"

After many contacts, she can judge that He Qingxiao is not a foolish and loyal person, but she can't take risks with the secrets related to her true identity.

Not being foolish and loyal doesn't mean that he will hide from that person about such a big matter. You must know that Jinlinwei Town Fusi originally existed as the eyes and ears of the emperor.Even though she has a lot of gratitude to the man in front of her, she would not naively think that he would dereliction of duty for an unrelated person, and if it was serious, it would be a crime of deceiving the emperor.

Xinyou's reaction did not surprise He Qingxiao.

Even though Miss Kou's attitude towards him has been called gentle and gentle recently, he has always known that this girl is someone who has a big secret, and that is the boundary that will freeze her heart once others touch it.

He asked this question today, just with the idea of ​​giving it a try, and he didn't feel disappointed if he didn't get an answer.

"I just didn't know if it was related, so I came to Ms. Kou to find out. If Ms. Kou is inconvenient to answer, then forget it."

Xin You's thorns were silently put away in the calm and gentle attitude of the other party, and she smiled slightly: "Master He, don't worry, what I do to Guchang Bo's House has nothing to do with the case you are investigating."

Jin Linwei supervised hundreds of officials and nobles, and he didn't know what happened to Guchangbo's mansion to be targeted by Mr. He, and he happened to let Mr. He notice her who was wandering outside Guchangbo's mansion that day.

Thinking of this, Xin You looked at He Qingxiao in a strange way.

It really wasn't an illusion, it's good that they live in peace, but once she meets this person, luck is always not on her side.But obviously he also admitted that his luck was not very good since he was a child.

He Qingxiao was silent.

It seems that she was disgusted by Ms. Kou.

In fact, Miss Kou's purpose for Guchangbo's mansion does not affect his investigation, he just worries that she will impulsively confront Guchangbo's mansion and hit a stone with an egg.

Worried——realizing that he was in such an emotion, He Qingxiao suddenly couldn't sit still: "If that's the case, then I'll take my leave."

Xin You watched him put down the teacup, stood up, and hurried away from the bookstore, and soon disappeared.

The girl who sent people out out of politeness stood silently at the door for a long time, causing the shopkeeper and the staff to look worried or curious.

He Qingxiao didn't go back to the Yamen, but went directly to Changlehou Mansion.

People in the Hou's mansion were not surprised that he would occasionally come back when he was in the yamen. The Fusi of Jinlinwei Town had special responsibilities, and it was not the kind of yamen that worked step by step.

When He Qingxiao went to Aunt Gui's place, Aunt Gui was fiddling with the wine jar.

"Does Aunt Gui want to make wine?" He Qingxiao thought of the smell of lychee osmanthus wine brewed in Qingsong Bookstore.

Aunt Gui didn't know that she had been exposed, so she laughed and said, "My maid is planning to make some new wine. This kind of rice wine is not intoxicating, and has the sweetness of grapes, which is especially suitable for girls to drink."

Suitable for girls to drink...

He Qingxiao's eyes flickered, and he seemed to ask casually: "Which girl is suitable for drinking?"

"Of course it's Kou—" Aunt Gui reacted with embarrassment.

He Qingxiao looked helpless: "Aunt Gui, did you go to Qingsong Bookstore to find Miss Kou?"

Aunt Gui put the wine jar away, dusted off the non-existent dust on her clothes, and quickly thought of an excuse: "Oh, it just happened to be—"

"Aunt Gui." He Qingxiao called out.

Aunt Gui was defeated: "Well, this servant went to see Miss Kou."

I won't make it up, except that this kid is a bit unlucky, but he is excellent in everything else, so he can't hide it from him.

"Why did Aunt Gui go to Miss Kou?"

Aunt Gui raised her hand to straighten her temples: "I was going to buy books—"

"Aunt Gui."

Aunt Gui gave up struggling completely: "Actually, I went to see what kind of girl can make Lord Hou fall in love with me."

He Qingxiao had a vague premonition about Aunt Gui's purpose of going to see Miss Kou, but he still felt embarrassed and at a loss when he really said it from the other party.

Looking at the young man whose ears were blushing quietly, Aunt Gui showed a loving smile: "After seeing her, I feel relieved. Ms. Kou is a very good girl. She has a good birth and a better temper. She also likes to eat the crispy yellow dumplings I made... ..."

The more He Qingxiao listened, the more his ears became warmer, and he had to interrupt Aunt Gui's words: "Aunt Gui, Miss Kou is indeed very good, but it's not what you think."

Aunt Gui was stunned: "Don't you think Master Hou doesn't like Miss Kou?"

The girl's quiet and beautiful face flashed in front of her eyes, and she seemed to be able to smell the faint scent of lychee and sweet-scented osmanthus wine coming from her.He Qingxiao shook his head slightly, dispelled those complicated thoughts, and said seriously: "Aunt Gui misunderstood, there is no such thing."

Aunt Gui didn't believe it at all: "If Lord Hou doesn't like it, why do you go to Qingsong Bookstore so often?"

"Aunt Gui forgot, I used to go to Qingsong Bookstore too."

"Maybe the former Marquis didn't bring back so many travel notes."

He Qingxiao froze, and used a flat tone to conceal the sudden bitterness in his heart: "It's just that I like the recent travel notes. Aunt Gui, if you like Miss Kou, I have no objection to your association, but don't let Miss Kou misunderstand that I have ulterior motives." .”

"How can this be called ulterior motives—" Aunt Gui wanted to say that it is only natural for a person to have a crush on the opposite sex when they grow up, but when she met the young man who hid some pleading eyes, she suddenly had nothing to say .

Forget it, this kid is very thoughtful and always has his own ideas, so he can't act too hastily.

"It's the servant who misunderstood. Don't worry, Lord Hou, the servant will not talk nonsense in front of Miss Kou in the future."

"Thank you, Aunt Gui, for your understanding." He Qingxiao smiled, but didn't feel relieved, so he picked up a jar of wine and left.

Aunt Gui looked at the young man's leaving back and hesitated to speak.

Does Hou Ye know that what he took away was the strongest shochu?
