away from the heart

Chapter 36
After Chuyue had dinner, she went to the study and knocked on the door.Xue Yao asked in the room: "Who?"

"Husband, it's me. I'll pour tea for you."

Bai Li got up and opened the door. Xue Yao was sitting in front of the case, which was covered with official documents and books.Chuyue walked over and poured tea and water for him respectfully.Xue Yao sized her up a few times, but couldn't help it: "You seem to be... a bit too attentive."

Chuyue covered her mouth with a smirk: "Husband is just joking. It's just that after coming out of the dungeon, Chuyue has thought through a lot of things and is determined to be a gentle and virtuous wife and take good care of her husband."

Xue Yao buried his head in the official document: "This matter...don't mention it again."

Chuyue sneered in her heart: I have done something wrong, and my conscience is disturbed.The face was still gentle and gentle: "Okay, if you don't want to mention it, then I won't mention it." She caught a glimpse of an open brocade box on the case again, with a spinning top lying inside, and couldn't help being curious, "Here is the husband?" , how can there be such a child's thing?"

Xue Yao gently knocked down the hand she stretched out: "Don't touch it... this is my brother's relic."

So his brother has passed away?Chuyue looked at Xue Yao and saw him staring at the spinning top in a trance, perhaps because Brother Si Nian was engrossed in his thoughts, his lowered eyes reflected the lights, sparkling.The candlelight flickered suddenly, and Chuyue came back to her senses: "If you don't touch it, you won't touch it... Come, husband, drink tea, and I will study ink for husband."

Xue Yao looked at her obediently studying ink under the lamp, feeling uncomfortable: "No need, if you really want to do something, just go and sort out the books on the shelf over there for me."

Chuyue responded and sorted out the books on the shelf.After thinking about it, a book fell to the ground, and a piece of paper caught in the book floated out.Chuyue leaned over to pick it up, and showed it to Xue Yao: "Husband, why is there a list of Zhang Panxiang Pavilion in this book? I bought it from Liuyun Feixue..."

"Panxiang Pavilion? What is that place?"

"Your husband asked you knowingly. If you have a sweetheart, you don't have to hide it from me. I'm very generous."

"What nonsense are you talking about..." Xue Yao glanced at the book, his expression changed, "Answer my question, where is Panxiang Pavilion?"

"It's the Panxiang Pavilion that sells rouge powder. Panxiang Pavilion's various rouge powders are the most famous, especially this skin nourishing cream called Liuyun Feixue, which is rarely produced and expensive. If you want to buy a can, you must first Make up your mind, wait a few more days." Chuyue sat next to Xue Yao, smiling softly and virtuously, "Since my husband bought such an expensive thing, I must be very interested in this woman. My husband, in fact, I have been weak and sick since I was a child. I'm afraid it will be very difficult to spread the branches and leaves for the Xue family. If my husband intends to accept another younger sister to inherit the family of the Xue family, Chuyue will have no objection..."

Xue Yaoyue felt terrified and panicked: "Okay, I see that you are courteous for nothing, either adultery or robbery. Tell me, what is the point of doing?"

Chuyue chuckled: "My husband is really sharp-eyed, I can't hide anything from my husband. I just want to ask, can I go out for a stroll tomorrow? I just happened to talk about these rouge powders, and I want to go out and buy some back."

Xue Yao pondered for a moment, but still agreed, and Chuyue immediately bowed happily and left.After Chuyue left, Xue Yao took the order to Bai Liqi: "This list is in my brother's belongings."

"It says on the list that the delivery date is April [-]th... Isn't that the day before Commander Xue's accident?"

Xue Yao nodded: "If you can find out who your brother wants to give this thing to, maybe you can ask what happened that day, which can be regarded as a clue."

"This Liuyun Feixue is so expensive, people who can afford it are either ladies from famous families or nobles in the palace..."

"Tell Luo Ji to check the palace."
