Ci Jinzhi

Chapter 68
How could it be different?

Previously, she had seen the scene of He Qingxiao being smashed by a flower pot from the sky, and the scene of He Qingxiao being stabbed in the abdomen with a dagger by the arrested man.

In order to repay He Qingxiao's help, she specially reminded that these things did not happen.But this time, she didn't say anything.

etc--

With a thought in Xin You's mind, she suddenly thought of a possibility: maybe He Qingxiao's avoidance of the disaster in the picture has nothing to do with her at all!
Without her reminder, he would also avoid the flower pot that fell from the sky; without her reminder, he would also avoid the dagger that stabbed him; without her reminder, he would also avoid the poison in the tea...

From the very beginning, her reminder was of little use to him.

These thoughts flashed through Xin You's mind, and she said with a pale face, "I accidentally saw that this little girl put the tea on that table on the way up the stairs with the tea."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes fell on the guy.

"Say, what's going on!" A Jin Linwei lifted the man up.

The clerk shivered: "I think, I remembered! The little man came out of the back hall with tea, and there happened to be a table of guests who said that the tea had been spilled, so he put the tea to be delivered on the table and wiped the table. .”

"Which table?"

The guy's eyes shifted and he looked at a table.

The table is very close to the countertop, just two or three steps away.

The people at that table turned pale with fright, and hurriedly said, "We haven't spilled any tea!"

The clerk took a closer look and said hesitantly: "It's the guests sitting here, but not them. Maybe the guests changed later. The villain is mainly in charge of the upstairs, so I don't know..."

Another guy who was busy in the lobby hurriedly said: "I still have a little impression. There were two guests at this table before, and the current guests came after those two guests checked out."

The previous clerk hurriedly added: "When the villain went to wipe the table, there was only one guest sitting."

"Where is he sitting?" He Qingxiao asked calmly.

"Sit on this chair." The guy pointed, facing the direction of the countertop.

In other words, the person sitting here happens to have a panoramic view of the table.

He Qingxiao was silent for a moment, and then looked at Xin You: "Miss Kou saw Xiao Er put down the tea to wipe the table, did you notice if anyone passed by the table?"

"I saw a man going over there." Xin You pointed.

Since He Qingxiao did not die as shown in the picture, there is no need for her to hide it, and finding out who poisoned her may yield new gains.

What's more, she may not be the only one who noticed these things in the lobby.

Just as Xinyou expected, there were two other people in the lobby who noticed the man passing the table, one noticed it by accident, and the other met him on the way back from the cleaning room.

It's a pity that no one, including the shopkeeper of the teahouse, could tell the identity of the guests at that table.

He Qingxiao ordered his subordinates: "Write down the names and addresses of the people present, and let them go back first."

The two men looked at each other.

Your lord is really kind, if you change to other lords, these people will all be arrested and sent to prison.

When Jin Linwei questioned Duan Shaoqing, He Qingxiao signaled his men to go ask others.

"Surprised Mr. Duan."

Facing He Qingxiao's politeness, Duan Shaoqing didn't dare to take it too seriously, and hurriedly said: "It's good that Mr. He is fine."

"I would also like to thank Miss Kou for providing the information." He Qingxiao looked at Xin You.

At this moment, Xin You finally collected her emotions and showed an impeccable smile: "Master He is polite, I hope you can find out the person who poisoned you sooner."

"It's busy here, Miss Kou, go back with Uncle Ling early."

Duan Shaoqing twitched the corners of his mouth.

Young men and women, who are not related to each other, have a heated chat in front of an elder, which is really inappropriate.

Thinking about He Qingxiao's identity, he could only slander him like this, and he didn't dare to reveal it on the face. Duan Shaoqing said a few words politely, and couldn't wait to take Xin You out of the teahouse.

People outside the teahouse came and went, and the smell of wine came from the Yuelai Restaurant opposite.

Duan Shaoqing breathed a sigh of relief, and called a carriage to take Xin You back to Qingsong Bookstore.

When the carriage started, a bare hand raised the curtains, revealing the girl's calm face.

"Uncle, don't forget to tell grandma."

Before Duan Shaoqing could respond, Su Qing's curtain fell, and the carriage creaked and moved forward.

Duan Shaoqing painted a layer of black paint on his face, and strode towards the Yamen of Taipu Temple.

Back in the east courtyard, Xin You went into the back room and sat on the bed, lost in thought.

Since He Qingxiao can avoid those disasters, the scene in the picture will not exist, so why can she see such a picture?
Isn't this a contradiction?

For the first time, Xin You had doubts about her special ability.

Xiao Lian's voice came from outside the door: "Girl, do you want some tea?"

Hearing the word "drink tea", Xinyou laughed at herself.

Sure enough, she didn't have the luck of taking shortcuts, and He Qingxiao's life still had to be taken by herself.

The unbearable, struggling, and conflicts while waiting for the person upstairs to get poisoned all turned into ridiculous at this moment, which made Xinyou calm down.

"Come in."

Xiao Lian came in with a tray and handed Xin You a cup of tea.

Xin You took it and took a sip.

"girl."

"how?"

Xiao Lian couldn't hide the worry in her eyes: "If there is anything the servant girl can do, just tell me."

Xin You slightly bent her lips: "Okay."

"The servant girl is serious! Although the servant girl has no skills, as long as the girl orders her, she will definitely do her best."

Xin You put down the teacup: "Then you should pay attention to the wind outside these two days to see if there is anything about Mr. He."

"Master He?"

"Yeah. Master He was poisoned in a teahouse today, and he is currently looking for the murderer—"

"Is Master He all right?" Xiao Lian covered her mouth and exclaimed.

Seeing Xiaolian's worry, Xinyou was in a complicated mood: "He's fine. I was also in that teahouse at the time, so I was more curious about the follow-up. Don't deliberately inquire, lest it cause unnecessary misunderstandings."

"The servant girl understands."

After being silent for a while, Xin You asked, "Xiao Lian, what kind of person do you think Mr. He is?"

"Master He is a good person." Xiao Lian said without hesitation.

Xin You smiled: "So sure?"

"A person like Mr. He who saves strangers without asking for anything in return, can't he be a bad person?"

"Yeah, not a bad person." Xin You murmured.

But good people will also obey others and owe blood debts.

Xin You didn't go out for the next few days, Xiao Lian quietly paid attention, and didn't hear any comments about He Qingxiao. It seemed that the poisonous killing in the teahouse never happened.

Until today, He Qingxiao stepped into Qingsong Bookstore, and saw Xin You who was flipping through books deep in the bookshelf.

It was dusk, but He Qingxiao recognized at a glance that what she was reading was the travel notes he was reading earlier.

He Qingxiao's eyes darkened, and he walked over.

Xinyou looked over.

He Qingxiao stood beside her: "The light is not good, Miss Kou hurt her eyes carefully."
