Chapter 205
After the palace banquet was over, everyone's carriages left the palace road one after another. They had to be modest along the way, so naturally they wouldn't go fast.Ma Qinge took this opportunity to tell Xu Jiatong a lot of anecdotes about the Jianghu, and she really wanted to park the carriage in a secluded place so that they could chat all night.

"So elder sister Qin Ge also met Miss Xiao after sneaking out from home? It's because your family loves you so much, that's why you make trouble. If I..." Xu Jiatong didn't dare to think about it.

"Are you still worried about what will happen after you go back? You just pack up your things in the past two days and go to A Rou's house, and they won't dare to touch you even if you measure them." Ma Qinge was still in high spirits.

"I can't hide forever, but don't worry, I'm not that delicate." Xu Jiatong smiled.

The boy driving the carriage announced that the Marquis of Ding'an had arrived, and the two said goodbye reluctantly. Xu Jiatong stepped on the footstool and got off the carriage, and was about to say a few more words to Ma Qinge when he saw the man who had just brought the footstool over. The boy winked at him.

"Sister Qin Ge, see you another day." Xu Jiatong said softly, and asked Bi Shui, who picked her up at the door, to hand over the reward to the boy.

After the carriage left, Xu Jiatong looked at the boy, and said in surprise, "Why is Guanshi Zhao here at this time? There are so many people here..."

"The villain will leave after saying a few words." Zhao Qiyun smiled, stepped forward a little, and said in a low voice, "Grandpa Dai said, the girl won the first prize today, but she still couldn't get what she wanted, should she also consider it?" How about the way out he pointed out for you that day?"

"Does Guanshi Zhao know what the way out Master Dai pointed out to me?" Under the night, Xu Jiatong carefully looked at Zhao Qiyun, not wanting to miss the slightest change in his expression.

Zhao Qiyun shook his head quickly, it seemed that he would not lie: "The villain does not know everything about Mr. Dai."

"I'll trouble you to call back, I'll think about it." Xu Jiatong confessed to her and entered the gate.

Xu Jiatong returned to the painting garden, Xu Jiaqing was worried about her, and waited to see her and said a few words before going to rest.She thought in her heart, she still didn't treat this silly girl in vain.

"Miss Si, look, Sugar Baby is back. I haven't seen it these days, and I don't know where it went. It's much fatter and rounder." Ah Xiang came in with a big snow-white, chubby rabbit.

Under the candlelight, Sugar Baby's eyes were translucent ruby ​​red, extraordinarily bright.The days between Ah Xiang and Xu Jiatong were short, and they didn't have much contact with sugar babies. Before, every time I wanted to touch it, it would fly away, but just now it was strange to let her hug it.

"Let me see." Xu Jiatong took it.

The sugar baby's previously smooth fur is now long and short, and it is very fluffy, and it looks like it is moulting.However, the thickness and density are obviously better than in previous years, so that it looks like a ball of white hair...it must be too good to eat.

Xu Jiatong thought of Dai Yuanguan, Sugar Baby must have gone to his place these days, I really don't know how this guy got so close to the fat rabbit she raised for more than three years.

"Okay, I'm tired, you guys should rest earlier." Xu Jiatong ordered them to go down, and she didn't need them to wait on her, she washed herself up, and lay on the inner couch with Sugar Baby in her arms.

A full moon hung high, and I opened the window, so I happened to be able to see it.The bright moonlight poured down and paved the floor.Xu Jiatong rubbed Sugar Baby's forehead lightly, and said with a smile: "Tang Baby, do you still remember that when you were in Kunshan, your grandmother would grind the grass into powder, mix it with fruit puree, and make round cakes for you to eat? Like that moon."

Sugar Baby twisted his body, slipped out from under her hands, squatted on the crossbar at the end of the couch, suddenly raised his head, propped himself up on his front legs, and let out a long "goo".

"Are you learning how to howl like a wolf?" Xu Jiatong laughed, and was about to grab it back, rubbing it for a while, when Sugar Baby actually ran away.

Xu Jiatong sat up to chase after her, but saw Sugar Baby crawling under her dresser and planing something. It seemed to have bitten something for a while, it moved outwards, and the sound of wood and bricks rubbing could be heard faintly.

A corner of a wooden box was exposed under the dressing table. Sugar Baby moved a little away, stood up, and walked a few steps forward on tiptoe, making the appearance of pushing things in with his two little paws.Then it wrinkled its nose towards Xu Jiatong, as if smelling something unpleasant, and fell to the ground with a "plop", rolling its small white eyes while kicking its legs.

"What's wrong with you, sugar baby?" Xu Jiatong thought it was smoked by something, so he hurried over.

Sugar Baby got up quickly, ran towards her, bit her pant leg, and tugged towards the box.Then it let go and fell down again, but this time it didn't roll its eyes, it just looked sideways at her.

Xu Jiatong took two pieces of thick cloth from the cabinet, wrapped his hands around it, and then opened the box. Inside was a porcelain bottle with a wooden stopper wrapped in red cloth.She didn't dare to open it, but shook it, and it contained powder makeup.

"Is this thing poisonous?" Xu Jiatong asked tentatively.

Sugar Baby immediately lay down and started kicking.Xu Jiatong understood that sugar babies are naturally sensitive to the toxicity of things, and Cao Shi asked her to bring sugar babies with her so that she could prevent problems before they happen.

"Bishui, are there any live chickens in the mansion?" Xu Jiatong called Bishui, who was on duty outside, to come in, and asked directly, "If there is, quickly get one; if not, fish two koi from the pond."

Bi Shui hadn't fallen asleep just now, but at this moment he was also very energetic. When he saw the box on the ground, he asked doubtfully, "This doesn't seem to belong to us. Where did you find it?"

Xu Jiatong pointed under the dressing table: "It may be poison, someone put it in, hurry up, we'll find out after we try it."

The big kitchen in this mansion did raise a few chickens in the backyard, but bringing them here at night would inevitably make too much noise.Bi Shui had no choice but to catch two koi, put them in the washbasin and brought them over.

Xu Jiatong pulled out the cork. Under the moonlight, the powder inside glowed faintly with a blue light. He poured some into the basin, and waited to see the reaction of the two koi.

Because it's autumn, it was extremely cold for two days in the past few days, and most of the koi also froze to death.The person in charge asked someone to buy a batch of smaller ones. At this time, the two are from that batch. Although the washbasin is not big, it is enough for them to move.

The two koi had originally moved to an unfamiliar place, and they couldn't adapt to it all of a sudden, so they just stopped quietly in the basin.After the powder went down, it didn't turn white, but after a while, they suddenly became alive and swam happily in the basin that didn't have much space.

At the beginning, the two fish played and played, one flicked the other's tail for a while, and the other spat bubbles at the other.After a while, the two fish suddenly swam faster, collided with each other and turned out of the water without mercy, and even bumped into each other randomly, without any rules at all.

"They seem to be crazy..." Xu Jiatong murmured.
