Daughter of aristocratic family

Chapter 470 Asking
When Yun Hao returned home, it was already dark and it had started snowing again. He lifted the door curtain and a warm breeze blew over his face, mixed with the faint scent of plum blossoms.

"My husband is back." Zhao Wangshu sat on the kang and watched Xiao Yunyu build blocks.

"Daddy." Xiao Yunyu hadn't seen him for two days and missed him. He stood up excitedly and waved at him, "Hug."

"Wait, Daddy's body is cold. I'll warm him up before I hug you." Yun Hao handed the cloak to the maid.

"What is this?" Zhao Wangshu saw the drawing and unfolded it. "Earrings? Yunhao, why did you draw this? Are you going to make one like this for me? I already have gourd-shaped earrings."

Yun Hao told his wife the origin of the earrings and also shared his own guess.

Zhao Wangshu pondered for a moment. "The style of this earring is quite unique. I seem to have seen it in Accord. But you have to give me the original earring. I need to see the logo on it to know whether it is from Accord."

"I didn't see any logo on it." Yun Hao hugged his son who threw himself into his arms.

"Even jewelry sold in small shops have logos on them, but for jewelry this small, the logo is not big and is usually located on the curved hook," Zhao Wangshu said, pointing to the picture.

Yun Hao was moved when he heard what Zhao Wangshu said. He remembered that when he found the earrings, he did not pay attention to the details of the hook. "I'll take a closer look tomorrow."

"Are you hungry? Let's have dinner." Zhao Wangshu asked.

"Serve the food." Yun Hao grabbed little Yun Yu's hand, "Dad won't eat your hand."

"There are four taels of candy in the child's hand. Our Yu'er is so generous." Zhao Wangshu said with a joking smile.

"Yu'er, your mother likes this candy. Give it to her." Yun Hao stuffed his son into Zhao Wangshu's arms.

Little Yunyu didn't know his parents were playing around, and actually put his hand to his mother's mouth, "Mom, eat, Mom, eat."

Zhao Wangshu grabbed his hand, made a "ah-wu" sound, and pretended to bite him, making him giggle.

The servants of the Yun Mansion quickly prepared the dinner. Exquisite dishes were served on the table, emitting fragrant aromas that made people salivate.

Yun Hao and Zhao Wangshu sat at the table. Little Yun Yu, who had washed his hands, sat next to Zhao Wangshu, looking at the dishes on the table and smacking his lips.

Zhao Wangshu put a bib on little Yunyu and handed him a small wooden bowl, "Our Yu'er, can you eat by yourself now?"

"Yeah." Xiao Yunyu nodded.

Zhao Wangshu put a spoonful of thumb-sized meatballs into his small bowl and said, "Let it cool down before eating."

Yun Hao saw his son stretch out his little hand, grab the meatballs, stuff them into his mouth, and stuff the rice into his mouth. He seemed to be eating very well.

"Don't just focus on him, eat too." Yun Hao picked up a piece of fish, removed the bones, and handed it to Zhao Wangshu's mouth.

"It's delicious, thank you." Zhao Wangshu smiled, scooped a spoonful of steamed egg, blew on it, and fed it to Xiao Yunyu.

"Madam." Yun Hao's voice was low and a little jealous.

Zhao Wangshu looked up at him, pursed her lips and smiled, scooped a spoonful of steamed egg and put it in his bowl, "Husband, eat too."

Yun Hao ate the steamed egg and said, "It's delicious. Thank you, Madam."

The family of three had a warm dinner. The couple played with their son for a while, then took a shower and went to bed.

The next day, Yun Hao went to the yamen and found the earring. Sure enough, on the hook of the earring, he found a subtle mark that was almost overlooked.

Yun Hao was delighted. This was indeed consistent with what Zhao Wangshu said. The earrings were most likely from Ya Ge. He took the earrings and his men to Ya Ge and asked He Yiniang, "Take a look at these earrings. Are they from Ya Ge?"

He Yiniang looked at the mark and said with certainty, "This was sold in a small shop."

"Do you remember when you sold it? Who bought it?" Yun Hao asked.

He Yiniang thought for a moment, shook her head and said, "Sir, this kind of gourd earrings are very popular, and many customers buy them every day. I really can't remember when this one was sold and who bought it."

Although Yun Hao was a little disappointed, he also understood that the gourd had a good meaning, so of course many people would buy it.

"Among the customers who bought these earrings, are there any special ones? For example, those who look fierce." Yun Hao asked.

"Sir, now that you mention that, I remember someone. A few days ago, a big man with a full beard came to our store to buy something. I remember that he was very picky. He looked at many earrings and was not satisfied with any of them. Finally, he chose this pair of gourd earrings, saying that gourds represent good fortune and luck, and Xiaolu will definitely like them." He Yiniang recalled carefully.

"Little Green?" Yun Hao's eyes flashed. He had previously speculated that this thing was bought by the assassin as a gift to his sweetheart. It seems that the bearded man is most likely the person he is looking for.

"Please describe his appearance, height and clothes." Yun Hao took the paper and pen.

"He's quite tall and strong." He Yiniang gestured, "About this tall, wearing a black suit, with a long sword hanging from his waist. He has a thick beard that almost covers half of his face, so I can't see his features clearly, but his eyes are fierce, and he doesn't look like someone you'd want to mess with."

Yun Hao quickly sketched a rough outline on the paper, then handed the paper to He Yiniang, "Take a look, is this the person?"

He Yiniang took the paper, looked at it carefully, and nodded, "Yes, it's him, sir, you draw it very well."

Yun Hao smiled slightly and put the paper away. "Besides the earrings, what else did he buy?"

"He also bought a pair of gold bracelets. The gold bracelets are plain bracelets without any patterns. I guess he bought them for his mother." He Yiniang said.

"When did he come to the store? When did he leave?" Yun Hao continued to ask.

He Yiniang replied, "He came in the afternoon, bought something, and left in a hurry."

Yun Hao asked her a few more questions and confirmed that He Yiniang knew all of this. "If you see this big man again, don't alarm him. Have someone notify me immediately."

He Yiniang nodded, "I understand, sir."

Knowing that the earrings were from Yage and who bought them, Yun Hao told his men not to go to other jewelry stores to inquire, but instead to look around for the bearded man.

The capital is so big that looking for such a person is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

And who knows, maybe, after assassinating Prince Zuo, this big man fled to another place.

However, Yun Hao was not discouraged.

He knew very well that any clue could be the key to solving the case, and that Xiaolu, mentioned by the bearded man, was worth looking for.

Although the capital city is prosperous, it has a large population and everyone's life trajectory is different.

Yun Hao and his men gradually outlined the profile of this bearded man through questioning, observation, and analysis.

The bearded man is a man who lives on the edge of a knife. The woman who is in love with him is most likely not from a decent family.

Yun Hao arranged his men to go to the brothel to look for a prostitute named Xiaolu.
