Rebirth Nunnery

Chapter 37
When Ding Jiayi changed his clothes and sat down in the best room of the inn, the fire outside had been suppressed.

He Niang and Hong Yi also changed and washed, and stood beside Ding Jiayi to help her dry her wet hair.

"Girl, I heard from Shopkeeper Sun that the fire only looked serious, but it wasn't actually big. It just burned the trees in the small courtyard and didn't burn the main house where we lived. Also, the fire was only inside the fence, not spread."

He Niang whispered in Ding Jiayi's ear.

Ding Jiayi's mouth twitched when he heard this, and his smile was extremely cold.

"It seems that someone deliberately set the fire? I don't know who dared to do such a thing in Qingzhou City... Hmph! Do you want my life, or do you want to give me a warning?"

Ding Jiayi murmured to himself while tapping his fingers on the table.

Hong Yi wiped her hair carefully, and couldn't help but said, "Young lady came to Qingzhou City to meet only a few people, who would do it?"

He Niang glanced at Hong Yi in surprise, this little girl has started to learn to use her brain?

After thinking about it, He Niang nodded and continued: "Shopkeeper Sun asked someone to check around and found this."

As she said that, He Niang took out a half-burned Huozhezi.

"Sure enough, someone set the fire? Are there any other clues?" Ding Jiayi asked with raised eyebrows, not surprised at all.

He Niang shook her head regretfully: "There is nothing else. It was late at that time, and no one nearby saw anything unusual."

Ding Jiayi's eyes flickered: "As Hong Yi said, it's just the few people I came into contact with after I came to Qingzhou City...or it was the hands of the other oirans who participated in the competition."

Speaking of this, Ding Jiayi suddenly thought of the Prince Qing he met at the Qinghuang Pagoda that day.

This guy is also suspected, but as his son, if he wants to kill a small brothel woman, it doesn't have to take so much effort.

Unless, he has some secrets that he doesn't want to be known...

Countless possibilities quickly flashed through Ding Jiayi's mind, but unfortunately, there are too few clues now, and she can't think of who the perpetrator of the arson is.

"Han Niang, tomorrow is the official start of the Oiran Contest?"

Ding Jiayi asked suddenly.

He Niang nodded: "Tomorrow is the preliminary round, you don't need to go, but it is said that except for Mingyue, the others will be there."

When Ding Jiayi heard the news, he smiled suddenly: "It's just right, let's go test it out tomorrow!"

Since others have bullied her to the door, don't blame her for being rude!

Ding Jiayi thought bitterly.

After tossing and tossing all night, it's already Yin time and it's almost dawn. Ding Jiayi didn't feel sleepy, nor did she want to sleep. After persuading He Niang and Hong Yi to go to rest, she sat by the window with her hair spread out. Long hair, deep frown.

Ding Jiayi put aside the matter of arson for the time being, but now she is thinking about the task that Lin Yin gave him.

It is not easy to enter Qingwang Mansion, but right now is a very good opportunity.

Ding Jiayi quickly thought of the greatest advantages and benefits that the current situation could bring. The young prince looked like a very beautiful person, so it was better to start with him.

It's just that she needs to think carefully about how to mention it without any trace, without letting others feel her intentions.

Ding Jiayi sat like this for two hours, unaware of the passage of time.

Ding Jiayi didn't realize it until the sky was bright and a gleam of light came in through the doors and windows.

"It's all this bright?"

Ding Jiayi stood up, rubbed his sore arms, and was about to call Hongyi and He Niang.

And just as she opened the door, a familiar figure suddenly walked over from the stairs not far away.

"Miss Tea? Why are you here?"

Ding Jiayi looked at the visitor in surprise and asked.

Sister Cha's expression was rather stern, and there was a female waiter behind her. When she saw Ding Jiayi, she hurried over and pulled her up and down to look him up and down several times before she let out a long breath.

"Fortunately, you are safe and sound...I heard the news of the accident here before dawn. I was so shocked that I couldn't sleep. I was afraid that something might happen to you."

While talking, Sister Cha dragged Ding Jiayi back to the room.

Ding Jiayi naturally knew what Sister Cha was worried about. The two of them had not been in contact for a long time. Although they admired each other, they were not so close.

What Sister Cha was worried about was Ding Jiayi's task.

However, Ding Jiayi was very grateful that Sister Cha could come here in person, welcomed her into the room, and poured her a cup of tea.

"Thank you, Sister Cha, for your concern. I just have some scratches, nothing serious, and I will recover after three to five days of recuperation." Ding Jiayi said with a smile, putting away all her aura, looking like an ordinary woman, just calm A little too much.

Sister Cha touched the teacup and found it was cold, she couldn't help raising her eyebrows: "You don't have to pretend to be calm in front of me, you don't even know how to change the tea when it's cold."

Ding Jiayi smiled apologetically and did not explain anything.

And Sister Cha didn't say any more on this topic, and signaled the female buddy who had been following her to come forward.

"I don't think you brought those luggage out, so let someone bring some clothes and jewelry over."

Sure enough, the female buddy was carrying a big bag, stepped forward to put down the bag and opened it.

Ding Jiayi glanced casually, almost not startled.

There are five or six sets of clothes in this bag, each of which is gorgeous and new, with different styles, and none of them are repeated.

And in the pile of clothes, there is also a jewelry box with a width of two hands, painted with gold and red, it is not ordinary at first glance.

Ding Jiayi glanced at Sister Cha in surprise, and then heard her explain in a low voice.

"Yesterday, the superior asked me to prepare these. I was thinking of sending them to you today. I didn't expect it to be a coincidence."

Ding Jiayi immediately understood that it must be the "equipment" prepared by Lin Yin for her new plan.

Thinking about it, Ding Jiayi smiled gratefully at Sister Cha, but didn't take a second look at the jewelry box: "Thank you Sister Cha, I'm worrying right now! The Oiran Contest will start later, and I'll be there no matter what, just this dress It couldn't be more timely."

Sister Cha was very surprised when she heard that she was going to the Oiran Competition.

Encountered such a thing last night, everyone would be frightened, why would ordinary people think about going out to some oiran competition?But Ding Jiayi was not only incredibly calm, but also continued to implement the original plan without changing it.

This made Sister Cha appreciate Ding Jiayi even more.

To put it bluntly, the two of them were just for that task. Sister Cha has always been extremely disdainful of women in brothels, but Ding Jiayi made her feel different from other women.

She admired such a woman very much.

Sister Cha began to think that after this task was completed, maybe she could mention it to her superiors and let Ding Jiayi come to her to do things.

Sister Cha was slightly distracted, but she quickly came back to her senses, and pulled Ding Jiayi to give some instructions for the Oiran Competition.

However, Ding Jiayi noticed that the female buddy who came with Sister Cha had been standing quietly behind her, with her head lowered without any unnecessary movements, but Sister Cha did not shy away from her no matter what she said.

Who is this woman?
A trace of doubt flashed in Ding Jiayi's eyes. The person who could bring Sister Cha here must be her confidant, but Ding Jiayi had never met her.

Noticing Ding Jiayi's eyes, Sister Cha suddenly understood, she smiled and clapped her hands and said, "Look at my memory, I almost forgot something important."

"This is Jinse, who was specially sent by the superior to protect you for your safety."

Sister Cha briefly introduced, then waved to the woman, pointed at Ding Jiayi and said, "This is Miss Jiayi, you are responsible for her safety during this period."

Then the woman came forward, saluted Ding Jiayi, and said softly: "Jinse has met Miss Jiayi."

Ding Jiayi noticed that her hands were not as white and soft as ordinary people, but a little rough, with big knuckles, and she looked like a person who had suffered a lot.

"Don't be too polite."

Ding Jiayi stood up and supported her, but did not accept her gift.

She is very clear that her status in this organization is not high, at least not as high as Sister Cha, and although this Jinse seems to be respectful and polite, but the respect has not penetrated into her bones, obviously she does not attach much importance to Sister Cha look.

Then she, a newcomer, will be even less regarded by the other party.

Just when Ding Jiayi stretched out his hand to support her, he suddenly felt Jinse's body move, as if he wanted to avoid it, but stopped in an instant.
