The cousin girl plays the role of silly and sweet every day

Chapter 38 You can’t dig someone’s grave, right?
Although it was said that the Queen was gathering girls and boys together, she did not attend openly and only summoned a few people at Wangyue Tower.

There are the Queen, Prime Minister Wei and some experienced officials in Wangyue Tower, which is relatively restrained.In comparison, Zhaixinglou is much more lively and free.

Li Jingheng and Li Ruyi went to Wangyue Tower. After Xie Zhiwei finished arguing with Li Jingheng, he and Jiang Wenyu had dinner at Zhaixing Tower.

Xie Zhiwei sat across from him with a gloomy look on his face. Jiang Wenyu lowered his head and concentrated on eating. His appetite did not get worse because of him.

Xie Zhiwei frowned and asked her, "Yu'er, are you serious that you haven't received any more blood letters?"

Jiang Wenyu took a bite of the roasted round fish with golden legs and said without raising his head: "No."

Xie Zhiwei felt a little regretful. He wanted to use this to catch Tan Shu, but he still escaped.

Jiang Wenyu raised his eyes, "Brother Xie asked this, do you know who wants to kill me?"

Xie Zhiwei came to his senses and did not answer directly, but said: "As long as I am here, no one dares to kill you."

Jiang Wenyu hummed, and asked curiously: "What's going on with Mr. Lin?"

"Lin Qu's death was not unjust. He was used to being arrogant in the court all year round, causing a lot of troubles and offending many people."

Xie Zhiwei paused and then said: "Even if he doesn't die in Zhang Jian's hands this time, he will die in the hands of others."

Jiang Wenyu lowered his head and said in a muffled voice: "Brother Xie, have I caused any trouble for you?"

"Why do you ask that?"

"Just now, the fifth prince said that Mr. Lin's case has caused you trouble..."

Mentioning this, Xie Zhiwei seemed to think of something difficult to deal with, and frowned: "It's just a small trouble, not worth mentioning."

Xie Zhiwei is like a gourd, not telling the truth easily.

Jiang Wenyu could only say sympathetically: "Brother Xie said it is a minor trouble, it must be a minor trouble, so I won't ask any more questions."

Xie Zhiwei looked at her face as if she had touched a taboo, and said as usual: "It's okay to tell you. I'm just afraid that you are timid and may have nightmares at night."

Jiang Wenyu widened his eyes slightly and retorted: "I'm very courageous!"

Xie Zhiwei smiled helplessly: "Okay, okay, you are the bravest."

Jiang Wenyu put his chin in his hand and asked, "Then what is Brother Xie worried about?"

Xie Zhiwei's expression froze slightly and he whispered: "Lin Qu's murderer died suddenly and unexpectedly in the Zhenfu Division."

"Ah? How?"

Xie Zhiwei looked at her with curiosity on his face. As before, he talked to her while clarifying his thoughts.

Lin Qu, an examiner in the Ministry of Civil Affairs, was the chief examiner of the imperial examination. After his death, the imperial examination questions were leaked. The emperor was furious when he heard that Long Yan was furious, and he was bound to find out who leaked it.

Xie Zhiwei suspected that Zhang Jian killed Lin Qu and stole the questions, but before he could interrogate him, Zhang Jian died mysteriously.

After Xie Zhiwei said it, the tight strings in his mind relaxed a little.

Jiang Wenyu looked confused.

Xie Zhiwei looked at her, and the more he looked at her, the more he felt that Li Jingheng was full and had nothing to do.

After a long time, Jiang Wenyu suddenly realized.

"What comes to mind?" Xie Zhiwei joked, "Is it candied longan, candied peaches, golden cake, or chestnut cake?"

Jiang Wenyu chuckled: "Wrong, the correct answer is plum blossom cake."

Xie Zhiwei looked at her smile, his gloom cleared away, and he was in a good mood.

“Next time I’ll bring you plum blossom cakes from Yuxianglou.”

Jiang Wenyu nodded.

Xie Zhiwei said this, so she just listened and didn't have any expectations at all.

After all, it wasn't the first time he said it, and it wasn't the first time she heard it.

*
Su Qianqian followed Li Zhaoyi to Wangyue Tower to meet the queen, and Xie Zhiwei also went to Wangyue Tower to wish Prime Minister Wei a birthday.

Jiang Wenyu stayed in Zhaixinglou, sitting alone in the corner. His eyes passed over the teenagers playing pot throwing games not far away, and fell on the thin clouds in the distance.

After she left the Lin Mansion, there was always a looming thread in her mind.

I didn't understand it before.

Now she finally knew what was wrong——

She was in a hurry to find Master Qi and overlooked some details.

As soon as Huaying died, so did Zhang Jian.

Jiang Wenyu didn't know what kind of person Huaying was, but she felt that Huaying was not someone who would commit suicide.

Yao Guang once said that he is very good at painting and singing.

People who have been acting all year round can reveal emotions and hide emotions just right.

Huaying was able to deal with other people with ease, but it was Jiang Wenyu who showed off his poor acting skills.

It was like a scam, designed to lure her into a trap.

The Erlang in Huaying's mouth is actually more like a dead soldier than a servant.

Moments before he was caught, he committed suicide without hesitation.This kind of decisiveness is definitely not possessed by an ordinary servant.

And that piece of jade.

Jade cannot be burned, but it can be crushed. There is no need to keep Huaying around.

She kept it, but seemed to be waiting for someone to take it away.

Thinking about this, Jiang Wenyu had two questions in his mind.

...Did Huaying really commit suicide?
...Is it possible that she is not dead?
Jiang Wenyu sighed.

She couldn't dig someone's grave if they weren't relatives.

If you meet someone and ask: "Little girl, why are you digging the grave?"

She replied: "I came to see if she is dead." This statement seemed strange to her.

And now that Lin Qu's matter is getting bigger and bigger, if she digs her own grave, she will really be digging her own grave.

Jiang Wenyu looked at the fish-scale clouds with some distress. His eyes moved and swept across a clear lake, the green leaves of early spring, and finally stopped at the pear garden beside the lake. During the peak flowering period, the pear blossoms bloomed white and majestic. Clear and beautiful.

She didn't know how long she had been watching, but suddenly she saw a figure jumping up the tree. From her angle, the figure was vaguely visible.

A bit like the crown prince.

The Queen Mother is critically ill and there is no need to delay, so Tan Shu will not let go of any chance.

Even if he knew that she might be lying to him, he would definitely look for clues about Master Qi.

I don't know how he checked it out.

Jiang Wenyu rolled his eyes and immediately made the decision to explore.

She came out of the Star Building and walked for a while along the route of her memory. When she was about to reach the Pear Garden, she started to look around.

After going around several intersections, I pretended to be lost and walked through the pear tree and walked inside.

She was tired from walking, so she wiped the sweat from her forehead with her sleeves, looked around, and found a tree to rest in confusion.

Tan Shu in the tree noticed someone approaching Jiang Wenyu before he entered the pear garden.

He was about to leave, but after seeing the appearance of the person coming clearly, he felt that it was okay not to leave.

He just casually watched her walking on the tree, stopping and walking, and finally got tired of walking and found a place to rest by the tree.

The leaves of the leaves were fluttering, and one fell on Tan Shu's shoulder.

He lightly dusted off the leaves, which danced in the air and brushed against the cheeks of the people under the tree.

Jiang Wenyu felt a little itchy and scratched his face.

After a while, she moved her steps, looked around, found no one, and raised her head again.

She first saw the black robe embroidered with gold threads, and then saw the young man lying leisurely with his hair tied up in a dark jade crown and his hands behind his head.

Jiang Wenyu pretended to be surprised and asked: "Why is the Crown Prince here?"

Tan Shu said angrily: "Why, wherever I show up, I have to give you a greeting in advance?"

"..."

Jiang Wenyu was startled for a moment, his eyes as bright as stars: "I thought the Crown Prince would be congratulating Prime Minister Wei on his birthday at Wangyue Tower."

Tan Shu said contemptuously: "He can't bear my blessing."

In fact, Tan Shu didn't want to attend the spring banquet prepared by the queen at all, let alone Wei Zheng's birthday banquet.

But the Queen said that there was a girl in the Su Mansion who knew medical skills, and she might be able to show it to the Queen Mother. After thinking about it, he came.

However, when he went to Wangyue Tower, the girl he saw was not who he expected, so he left without interest.

Jiang Wenyu wanted to say something, but before she could speak, she heard Tan Shu lazily say: "I want to rest, don't talk."

Jiang Wenyu said "Okay" and asked cautiously: "Can I stay here for a while?"

Tan Shu looked at her.

Jiang Wenyu said simply: "I'm tired from walking."

"Whatever." Tan Shu closed his eyes after saying that.

Seeing this, Jiang Wenyu took two gentle steps and squatted by the lake, holding his face in his hands, staring at the water with eyes like paint.

The spring water reflected the pear blossoms, and also illuminated her facial features.

Tan Shu changed into a comfortable position, raised his eyelids slightly, and looked at the people below.

The spring breeze blows, and the pear blossoms by the lake are like fragrant white snow, fluttering and slowly decorating Jiang Wenyu's pink skirt.

She picked up a flower, as if she was having fun. The tip of the flower picked up the lake water, and ripples immediately appeared on the water.

After a long time, there was a shadow beside him.

Jiang Wenyu turned his head and found Tan Shu jumping down from the tree and standing next to her.

His gaze was so indifferent that Jiang Wenyu once suspected that he wanted to push her into the water.

She probably didn't disturb his sleep.

Maybe.

Jiang Wenyu did not forget her purpose. She raised her head and broke the silence:

"If the prince needs to send someone a greeting card but doesn't want to write it, you can leave it to me."

As Tan Shu listened, he remembered that she had copied his handwriting, which seemed almost fake.

Jiang Wenyu suddenly felt something was grabbing what was in her hand. She turned around and saw a fish jumping up and pecking at the petals in her hand.

There are actually fish in this lake?

Jiang Wenyu was a little surprised, and a smile appeared on his face.

She continued to tell Tan Shu: "I usually charge three cents for writing a greeting card, but considering that the prince's status is more noble and different from ordinary people, I will charge you ten cents for one..."

The fish in front of him jumped into the water and swam away, and the people beside him seemed to be moving too.

Jiang Wenyu turned his head and saw Tan Shu standing next to him, squatting down and meeting her eyes. He asked with a sneer in his eyes:

"You took my words and sold them?"

　Jiang Wenyu: I charge three cents for a normal person. You have a distinguished status...

　　Tan Shu: No money?

　　Jiang Wenyu: No.You are more noble and have to charge more.

　　[There is no conflict between Pear Garden and Peach Garden]
