After the general's legitimate daughter was reborn, the ascetic prime minister pinched her wais

Chapter 75 I still don’t believe him

Chu Ying sat for a while, feeling bored.

Every time she and Gao Wenyan were chatting, Chu Xu would sit aside and drink tea silently.

In this way, Chu Ying didn't know whether she should say goodbye or not.

What if these two people have nothing to say?
I heard that Chu Xu often likes to stay in the attic recently, and stays there for a long time.

So she suggested: "I made a painting two days ago, is the girl interested?"

It's not that the painting is so special, it's just that this way, Chu Xu doesn't have to socialize.

In order to give her brother a clean place, she thought she was very considerate.

She blinked at Chu Xu, but saw that Chu Xu's face turned slightly cold.

Chu Ying was confused and didn't know what she said wrong.

"Of course it's good. What did you draw?"

Gao Wenyan couldn't help but joke: "Isn't it a galloping horse?"

"Don't laugh at me."

"It's the newly blooming osmanthus in the mansion."

When she said this, Gao Wenyan suddenly thought of something in his mind and stood up immediately.

"I suddenly remembered that I have something else to do, so I won't disturb the Prime Minister."

As she said this, she was about to open the secret passage, but was suddenly grabbed by Chu Xu.

His fingers were still as cold as ever, and the grip on his wrist was not strong enough, but Gao Wenyan calmed down instantly.

Chu Ying opened her eyes wide and was not surprised before she had time.

Then I heard Chu Xu say: "Xiao Wan, you go back first."

"No, you..."

Why do you grab this girl's hand so casually?
Before he finished speaking, he heard "Go out" again.

This was a sign before Chu Xu was displeased, so Chu Ying had no choice but to shut up and bid farewell to Gao Wenyan.

Before leaving, she took another peek.

Chu Xu actually didn't let him go yet.

Even if he is the prime minister, he still has to be polite!

I need to explain these etiquette to my brother tonight.

Chu Ying thought so.

Here Chu Xu pulled Gao Wenyan to sit down again.

He asked softly, "What's wrong?"

Such a soft tone made Gao Wenyan inexplicably feel at ease.

"Painter."

"I missed one painter."

The painter not only saw the Bingtilian with his own eyes, but also painted it.

If Wang Yong finds him to testify, not only the Gao family, but also Aunt Song will be convicted of deceiving the emperor.

This can be very tricky.

She was at a loss for words.

Could it be that since there were no nursery rhymes coming out during this period, they were looking for a painter?
Could Wang Yong have found a painter?

"nothing."

Chu Xu handed her a cup of tea.

"Perhaps you can tell me, and I will order Zhiyan to send people to look for him together."

Finally, he added another sentence.

"Girl knows, we're good at finding people."

Yes, after all, Aunt Song's brother was found by him.

It is not unreasonable for him to boast so much.

However, Gao Wenyan still hesitated.

"Wait for me to think about it."

Hearing this, Chu Xu smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "Well, girl, think about it slowly."

He continued making tea as if he didn't care.

"I don't know much about the painter either."

She declined: "I need to ask my family."

"Well, of course."

Chu Xu turned his head, covering up all his emotions so as not to make his disappointment too obvious.

The sunlight slants into the room, leaving a long ray of light on the table.

And they were sitting at opposite ends.

Gao Wenyan didn't look at him, but his heart was slightly shaken.At this moment, she suddenly felt that the two of them were far apart.

However, it is obvious that they are already so close.

What's far away?
"Then I will take my leave first."

Compared with her running away, Chu Xu was as quiet as an autumn leaf falling to the ground.

Under the sun, silent accusation.

After entering the secret passage, Gao Wenyan walked slower.

There was no light and no one accompanying her in the long secret passage.

She could only follow the route she knew in advance and walk all the way until she saw the light of day.

After all, she still didn't believe Chu Xu.

Gao Wenyan thought she trusted him, but at a critical moment, her heart betrayed her.

After walking all the way to the end, I was finally able to leave the secret passage.

The sun shone on her face again, and it was warm, a temperature completely different from that of his hands.

However, Gao Wenyan didn't understand.

It's obviously a subconscious choice, but why do I feel so uncomfortable?

She took a deep breath and forced herself to shift her focus.

Now is not the time to think about this!
So Gao Wenyan quickened his pace and hurried home.

Mrs. Gao was about to take a nap when she caught her again and asked about the painter's whereabouts.

"How do I know?"

"Mr. Jiang comes and goes without a trace. What matters is fate!"

She asked: "Then how did you invite him to our house?"

Mrs. Gao greeted her: "So it's fate."

As she said this, she thought about it and finally remembered.

"Oh, it seems your second brother told me."

Then Mrs. Gao invited Mr. Jiang as the mistress of the Gao family.

So Gao Wenyan went to Xinghua Tower without stopping.

After struggling like this for a long time, she finally got all the information about Mr. Jiang Liu.

He and Wen Zishu were friends. He loved landscapes the most and would paint while walking.

If you meet someone you are destined to, you will stay there for a few more days.

The last fateful person was Gao Wenting.

However, Gao Wenting said that after leaving the capital, Jiang Liu went south to Jiangnan, and there was no news about him later.

Gao Wenyan was relieved.

Since it's so hard to find, that's a good thing.

Even if Wang Yong knew Jiang Liu's existence, he might not be much ahead of them.

She found Gao Wenxi in the city tower and asked him to send more people to search for him together.

"Ruoren has already been in contact with Wang Yong."

She paused slightly and said, "Just kill him."

As soon as she finished speaking, she unconsciously looked down at her hands.

Gao Wenyan found it funny.

In order to protect themselves, I am no different from those who kill innocent people indiscriminately.

Suddenly, Gao Wenxi knocked him on the head.

"Do you know what is the biggest difference between those who have been on the battlefield and those who have not been on the battlefield?"

She thought for a moment and said uncertainly: "Experience?"

"Do not."

"It's the softness and hardness of the heart."

If you are merciful and let someone you think is innocent, more people may die.

In times of war, innocence without action is still not innocent.

There is no way to weigh one by one whether the other side's soldiers are innocent or not.

The prince who was taken hostage by us is innocent or not.

“With different stances, there will be casualties.”

"So, we just want to win."

Only by winning can you take the initiative to "not kill innocent people indiscriminately".

Otherwise, we will treat each other as fish and meat.
