Chapter 47 Plan
The two of them, one bowed his head and bent over, and the other leaned up on tiptoes. From the side, they really seemed to be getting close.

When he was about to finish speaking, a burst of laughter sounded from the stern of the boat. Cheng Xueyao took a step back suddenly, but Xu Ruqing did not panic at all.

"Sister, what are you doing?" Cheng Xuelan stirred the handkerchief in her hand, stood there with several other girls from the Cheng family, and said with a smile: "I have long heard that my sister and brother Xu are related, but we all I thought my sister only had Yuan Juren in her heart."

Cheng Xueyao's expression turned ugly, and she said, "Xuelan, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Xu Ruqing also said: "You ladies have indeed misunderstood. My mother is ill. Miss Yao has several secret recipes, so she told me this."

Cheng Xuelan snorted, raised her hand, and almost threw out a flower from the silk handkerchief in her hand, "Anyway, I know that my sister is always liked by men like you."

Cheng Xueyao was annoyed and wanted to go forward.

Xu Ruqing stretched out his hand to block it, and said in a low voice, "Isn't this just right?"

Cheng Xueyao: She didn't want others to see her getting close to Xu Ruqing, okay?
At this time, Xu Ruqing said: "Miss Yao, I still have something to say to the second lady."

Xu Ruqing walked toward the bow of the boat and went to the other side. As soon as he left, the girls from the Cheng family came over and laughed and teased Cheng Xueyao.

Xu Ruqing is not bad either. After all, his family background is clean and his knowledge is good. He will definitely become a high school scholar in the future.

Yuan Juren is better than Xu Ruqing, so far he is not bad, but after all, he did not prepare for the imperial examination, but went into business, and his future prospects will not be very good.

Cheng Xueyao smiled shyly, and said, "I still like Yuan Juren better. By the way, why did you think of looking for me?"

A girl of fourteen or fifteen years old pursed her lips to the left and said, "It's the second young lady who told us that she saw you and Xu Ruqing here."

Another girl in gray and white clothes said: "We just wanted to see what you were secretly talking about, but we didn't expect you to--"

As he said, put two fingers together, that's right.

Cheng Xueyao's face immediately turned pale, and her voice sounded a little aggrieved: "Don't talk nonsense, Mr. Xu and I are innocent."

At this time, Cheng Xuelan pointed to the front and shouted, "Is that three-story painting boat owned by Yuan Ju?"

"Really."

The girls pointed over there and said with a giggle: "It must be Yuan Ju who found out that Sister Yao was going out, so she came here specially to wait."

On the Yuan family's painting boat, Qing Feng walked to the elegant room where the music was being played, and said to the man sitting in a daze on the grand master's chair in front of the peony screen: "Sir, in front of you is the Cheng family's painting boat."

Cheng family?

When Yuan Chen came back to his senses, he subconsciously glanced at the opal pendant on the folding fan, frowned and said, "When will the specific news be delivered?"

He didn't want to see Cheng Xueyao and Cheng Nuo until he was sure.

Regardless of whether he admitted the wrong person or not, he seemed to have done something stupid enough.

"Brother Chen," the voice came along with the breeze outside.

Cheng Xueyao held onto the side of the boat and waved to the painted boat in the distance with a smile on her face.

This is really true, God help people.

Hearing this voice, Yuan Chen felt a strange feeling in his heart, not like throbbing, but confusion.

This was the first time that Xueyao called him such an intimate name. Could it be that she was not so reserved because they were already engaged?

Yuan Chen got up and came to the window, but what he saw was Cheng Nuo, who was sitting lazily on the railing seat, smiling and talking to a man standing beside him.

The dappled sunlight hit her body, and she suddenly seemed to be a person across the clouds. The sparkling water light reflected on her cheeks as white as milk, and she was truly brought to the human world again.

The man next to her bowed his hands and looked very flattering.

Maybe it was because the sunlight outside was too dazzling, Yuan Chen unconsciously squinted his eyes.

Qing Feng called out to him several times.

Yuan Chen came back to his senses, frowned and said, "What's the matter?"

Qing Feng reminded: "Miss Cheng is standing on the other side."

Oh.

Yuan Chen nodded, walked out, and walked to the private room opposite. Through the half-open window, he saw Cheng Xueyao, who was jumping with joy and waving to this side unconsciously.

Seeing such a bright Cheng Xueyao, the doubts in my heart became more obvious.

Yao'er, she has never been so close to herself before.

Thinking of this, Yuan Chen pursed his lips and smiled.

He was the kind of man with profound facial features, and his smile was rather sinisterly handsome, which made several girls on the boat opposite blush unconsciously, and lowered their heads one by one, not daring to look at him.

Xin Nuo only heard the excitement next door, looked at the bigger boat approaching in front, and then looked away.

A small boat came from the left. Sitting in the center of the boat was a young girl. She was wearing green clothes, which made her skin color pale, giving her a somewhat distinguished appearance.

What came out of the girl's mouth constantly was the song of selling water chestnuts. In the gap before and after the boat, there were piles of snow-white lotus roots and a pile of water chestnuts.

Xin Nuo stopped and said, "How do you sell the lotus root?"

The girl didn't even notice that there was a girl sitting on the boat here. Hearing this, he raised his head and looked up. Although he was not so enthusiastic, he still replied: "Two pennies per pound, how much does Miss want?"

Xin Nuo likes to eat lotus root clips stuffed with pork, so he threw down a small ingot of silver and said, "I want all of them. You can take them to the shore for me, and I will pick them up when I go back later."

The girl in green was not very happy and did not look at the silver at her feet. She just said: "I want to sell water chestnuts."

Xin Nuo looked at the painting boat in front of her that could sometimes hear the sound of silk and bamboo, nodded and said, "You can do whatever you want. Just leave all the lotus root for me."

The girl in green didn't respond, but held the boat and walked forward.

Seeing her aiming at the painting boat in front of her like this, Xin Nuo was really curious, who is the owner of the painting boat, so that a girl selling water chestnuts is so rushing?

At the same time, the tongue-pulling case jointly heard by the three judicial divisions also started in the lobby of the Ministry of Justice located in the northwest corner of the palace.

Chu Wei presided over the trial, and officials from Dali Temple, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate were on both sides of the jury.

Emperor Xining, who said he was going to try the case, was sitting with a few adult princes in a compartment on the right side separated by a screen.

Regardless of whether they were nervous inside or not, the princes looked serious on the outside.

If the murderer was not mistaken, was it such a little woman who killed an official of the imperial court?Sneaked into the back house of Cheng's house, a third-grade official, and quietly killed a servant girl?
This is a very creepy thing. Is the security of the capital so unreliable?
