Cure the cold-faced general by solving crimes

Chapter 43 The man is unmarried and the woman is unmarried
  The next day, Jiang Xihe woke up with three strokes in the morning. She slept very well.

After lying on the bed and thinking for a long time, she finally came to her senses. She was now in the Ping'an County Government Office.

Sitting up in excitement, Jiang Xihe slapped her forehead, "Oh my god, why are you so sleepy? She hasn't made breakfast for Pei Zhizhao yet."

After getting ready and getting up, Jiang Xihe saw the cyan dress that was hung up yesterday.

After coming back last night, she tried it on carefully. The more she looked at it, the more she liked it. After thinking about it, she put on the new skirt and put on the new embroidered shoes.

Unexpectedly, the thing Pei Zhizhao bought was the right size. How did he know her size?

There was a bronze mirror on the table of the Eight Immortals under the window. Jiang Xihe put on her clothes and walked over, and a girl's beautiful face appeared in the mirror.

Her eyebrows are like daisy, and her lips are like cherry blossoms.

The corners of her mouth were slightly raised, and there was a hint of coquettishness in her brows.

Jiang Xihe had never felt how beautiful she was. Now when she looked at herself in the mirror, she hid her joy in a daze. If her appearance was calculated out of ten, she would give herself at least eight points.

After thinking about it like this, Jiang Xihe smiled, her eyebrows lowered, her softness filled with vitality.

Jiang Xihe walked out of the west courtyard. The sun was just right and there was no cloud in the blue sky.

The heavy rain for days has dissipated, the haze has disappeared, and my mood has improved.

Jiang Xihe walked into the kitchen and saw a few noodles scattered on the stove. She covered her face with shame. She didn't get up. Mr. Pei had beef noodles for breakfast.

She planned to take charge of the kitchen in the next few days, so Jiang Xihe looked through it carefully. She kept the existing ingredients in mind and bought whatever was missing.

She decided to eat well, do things well, and make herself happy from today on. She was reluctant to buy the things she liked before, but she wanted to buy them for herself in the future.

Thinking about it this way, I feel better.

Jiang Xihe happily stepped into the front yard.

Liu Qing was on duty today and was wiping the long knife on the weapon rack in the courtyard. When he saw Jiang Xihe, Liu Qing smiled clearly and said, "I heard that Lawyer Jiang lives in the Yamen?"

Jiang Xihe had been acquainted with Liu Qing before. He was so stuck that he didn't recognize any of his relatives when they got to the gambling table. But when they got off the gambling table, they had an argument. Everything Mr. Qi told him was done properly. Jiang Xihe had sorted out the recruitment files for him before. I have a lot of personal interactions.

"Captain Liu is well-informed." Jiang Xihe had long thought that there would be some rumors if she moved into the Yamen.

"I heard that the west part of the city was hit by a disaster and your house is uninhabitable?" Liu Qing asked.

Jiang Xihe heard this and nodded with a smile, "We will meet in the next few days."

Liu Qing smiled. The last time Mr. Pei talked to him, he had never stepped into the casino again. When he couldn't be offended, he would go and stand under Pei Zhizhao's window. When he got scared, the urge to gamble passed away. It took more than a month to give up the addiction.

Liu Qing was on duty these days. Not only did he not feel tired, but he felt energetic. Liu Qing was grateful to Pei Zhizhao.

When he heard that Jiang Xihe had moved into the county government office, Liu Qing's first thought was that there was something going on between Mr. Pei and Miss Jiang.

Liu Qing didn't care what other people thought. He always thought Jiang Xihe was a nice person.

Pei Zhizhao had no family, and Jiang Xihe was alone. If the two of them were interested, Liu Qing would definitely support it. So when he saw Jiang Xihe, Liu Qing didn't want to make a joke, but sincerely wanted to get along with her.

Jiang Xihe stood in the courtyard and glanced at the meeting hall where Pei Zhizhao usually stayed. There was silence inside.

Liu Qing followed Jiang Xihe's eyes and said with a smile, "Master Pei went out early in the morning and said he was going to the west of the city to see." "Where is Brother Han?"

"Han Changsui went to Tongshan Mansion yesterday and came back this morning. Mr. Pei asked him to have a good rest. He is probably not up yet."

Jiang Xihe remembered that Han Fang should have gone to Tongshan Mansion to deliver the female body, but when he came back this morning, he was busy cooking noodles for Master Pei, which made Jiang Xihe feel even more regretful.

At this time, a man walked out of the prison room, adjusting the bean hat on his head as he walked. When he saw Jiang Xihe, he snorted coldly and turned his head.

Liu Qing smiled and said, "Brother Li, are you going out for something?"

This person is Li Chengye’s distant relative.

His name is Li Dahai. He has an old mother and young children at home who need to be taken care of, so he has not done much to help Li Chengye in the past few years.

After the news about Jiang Xihe and Li Chengye's engagement last year, Li Dahai was very polite to Jiang Xihe. Since Li Chengye regretted the marriage and his brother had an accident, he didn't even bother to say hello to Jiang Xihe when he saw her again.

The day before yesterday, Li's mother took refuge in the county government office. Jiang Xihe kindly gave her a blanket, but Li's mother misunderstood her kindness and Jiang Xihe ignored her again.

Unexpectedly, Li Dahai saw this scene. There was a commotion in the Yamen that day. After Li Dahai sent Li's mother home the next day, Li's mother gave Jiang Xihe a good meal.

In addition, Jiang Xihe has always been in and out of the yamen in the past six months, and Li Dahai has a bad impression of her. Jiang Xihe is snobbish, adapts to the wind, and is also quick-tempered.

Li Dahai thought to himself, just look at it now. Not long after Li Chengye left, she actually climbed up to the county magistrate, and now she is living in the county government office openly.

Simply shameless!
  Fortunately, Li Chengye broke off the engagement, otherwise he would not have done anything offensive to morals in the future.

"Yeah." Li Dahai simply responded, glared at Jiang Xihe and left.

When Liu Qing saw him walking away, he smiled and said to Jiang Xihe, "Miss Jiang, don't pay attention to him. You can live here with peace of mind. Mr. Pei didn't say anything. What's wrong with him?"

Jiang Xihe didn't take it seriously at first, but after hearing what Liu Qing said, he understood that something must have happened, so he asked, "Is Inspector Li unhappy because I live in the county government?"

Jiang Xihe didn't understand, where she lived, and what relationship did she have with Li Dahai?
  Liu Qing's heart was toward Jiang Xihe and Pei Zhizhao, so of course he told the truth, "You and Mr. Pei are both married to each other. Isn't it normal for you to have a good relationship? Just because their family Li Chengye broke off the engagement, you will never marry for the rest of your life?"

Jiang Xihe was slightly startled and understood the twists and turns.

"Besides, didn't the Li family say that that day? You and Li Chengye have no engagement. Those are all rumors. Since they are rumors, we just need to listen. Who doesn't know what the old lady of the Li family is thinking!"

Liu Qing's words made Jiang Xihe feel warm in his heart.

It was just the saying that a man is not married but a woman is not married that made her feel embarrassed.

"I live here because I have to help Mr. Pei with work. I will sort out the housing recruitment files. Besides, I will go back after the house is tidied up in a few days."

When Liu Qing thought about the mountains of files in the recruitment process, those things were his responsibility. He had been muddle along for the past six months, and the last thing he wanted to do was sort out those boring words all day long.

Liu Qing smiled and said, "I hope Lawyer Jiang can stay here for a long time. You saved me a lot of trouble in recruiting a house. It's not too late for me to thank you."

Jiang Xihe didn't expect to be able to say so much to Liu Qing, "Don't worry, I will definitely work an extra day in the county office. You will have to help me more. If you have any suggestions, remember to introduce them to me."

The two chatted happily, so when they met Pei Zhizhao again, Liu Qing deliberately talked about Li Dahai's attitude towards Jiang Xihe that morning.

Pei Zhizhao didn't say anything at that time, but Liu Qing saw that his eyebrows darkened and he was thoughtful...
