Chapter 203: not as expected

  Chapter 203 is not as expected

  Backing back to the elegant room on the east side of the second floor, Lin Jinxiao and Hu Maoxi were sitting at the tea table talking, while Liu Shuyang was sitting on the couch in the corner, silent and listless.

  Seeing Chu Nanzhi's figure, the two gradually stopped talking. Hu Maoxi took a sip of tea and asked with concern: "How, what can Miss Chu gain in Zhu Xiancheng's room?"

   "Grandpa Hu, we found a lot of hair in Zhu Xiancheng's room."

  Sibao Lin Ruijia walked up to Hu Maoxi first, and replied very kindly.

"hair?"

  Hu Maoxi looked bewildered: "What does this have to do with Zhu Xiancheng being killed?"

   "It's okay."

  Chu Nanzhi answered casually, and walked to the two of them, seeing that Hu Maoxi's expression had recovered a lot, she couldn't help being delighted and said: "It seems that Master Hu is recovering well."

   "Thanks to Mrs. Chu, I drank two bowls of soup and medicine, and I feel much better now."

Hu Maoxi smiled happily. Looking at this beautiful woman, the more she looked at it, the more admirable she became: "Miss Chu is indeed a god. Not only is she capable of reasoning the case, but she also has such superb medical skills. I heard that Hong Wen in our county All the old doctors in the medical hall worship you as their teacher."

   "Hey, it's just a joke between the old man and the women, so don't take it seriously."

  Chu Nanzhi covered her mouth, and said a word of embarrassment and humility.

At this time, the servants of the post house brought in the dinner again and put it on the table. Lin Jinxiao handed the chopsticks to several people, and was about to pick up food for the Four Treasures, when Hu Maoxi frowned, and hurriedly stopped him: "Brother Lin Xian"

   "It doesn't matter."

  Lin Jinxiao smiled slightly: "Let's eat tonight's meal with peace of mind."

  Hu Maoxi looked at a table of dishes with lingering fear, but still couldn't whet his appetite.

  Chu Nanzhi noticed that he was terrified by the afternoon meal, and patiently explained: "Master Hu is an official of the imperial court, even if they intend to murder you, they don't have the guts. What happened in the afternoon was just a misunderstanding."

  When Hu Maoxi saw Lin Jinxiao put some shredded vegetables into his mouth, he immediately felt relieved, got up and said, "Then I'd better go back to the guest house, and I won't disturb you and my wife."

   "Okay, then I'll see you off."

  Chu Nanzhi also stood up.

   "No, no."

  Hu Maoxi stopped her and walked out of the house.

  Sibao's small eyes blinked, watching the dishes that Dad kept putting into the bowl, he turned his head and asked with a face full of fear: "Mother, is this dish really edible?"

   "Of course, your father"

  Chu Nanzhi spoke enthusiastically, and inadvertently looked at the cheek full of tenderness. How could she suddenly feel that she was the same kind of person as him, maintaining a tacit understanding in everything, which was a bit inconceivable.

  She stopped what she was about to say, and then said: "But we have to wash our hands before eating."

   After saying that, he took Sibao to wash his hands in a wooden bucket filled with water, and helped Sibao scrub his wet little hands. The little guy ran to Lin Jinxiao and sat down happily, happily eating the delicious food in the bowl.

  Chu Nanzhi sat back at the dining table, glanced lightly at the dying son-in-law on the couch, and greeted, "Shu Yang, come over to eat too."

   "Sister, I don't want to eat."

  Liu Shuyang got up very firmly, and was muttering in his heart: I regret not listening to the elder sister in the afternoon, ah bah, it is because I obeyed the elder sister's words and ate a whole table of dishes, and paid a heavy price for it.

   My stomach still hurts.

   "Sister, I'm going back to my room to rest first."

  After Liu Shuyang finished speaking, he looked at Lin Jinxiao silently, and said embarrassingly, "Brother-in-law, someone just died in this inn. I'm a little scared. You are at night."

   Before he could finish expressing the intention in his heart, Lin Jinxiao gave him a cold look: "Get lost."

  Liu Shuyang closed his eyes in boredom, and immediately walked out of the room resentfully.

  Lin Jinxiao casually put a mouthful of vegetables into his mouth, chewed slowly, and secretly looked at the woman in front of him from the corner of his eye.

  When I saw her today, her face was haggard. At that time, I thought that it must be because she didn't sleep with her arms around me these days, so I couldn't sleep because of tossing and turning.

   It's really hard for her.

   Also afraid that she would be shy, thinking of this, Lin Jinxiao slowly put down his chopsticks, and hinted vaguely, "Tonight?"

   "I'll sleep here with Sibao tonight. You don't have to worry if I'm with her."

  Chu Nanzhi replied without thinking.

"Oh."

  Lin Jinxiao picked up his chopsticks again and continued to pick up vegetables.

  Sibao turned to look at Chu Nanzhi, and asked weakly, "Aniang, don't we sleep with Dad?"

"Need not."

  Lin Jinxiao answered first: "Sibao, you and mother go to sleep in the back room, and Dad is guarding you on the soft bed outside."

  Sibao blinked his small black eyes: "Aren't you afraid, Dad?"

   "Father is not afraid of anything."

   Just afraid. Silently muttering something in his heart, Lin Jinxiao looked at the mother and daughter with warm eyes, and there was a warmth in his eyes: "Hurry up and eat, your mother will go to court tomorrow."

"Um."

  Little Four Treasures lay back on the table and ate seriously.

  Afterwards, the boys from the inn came in to tidy up the room and changed the warm water. Chu Nanzhi scrubbed Sibao's body and changed Lin Jinxiao's medicine. After washing, he took the little guy to the inner bedroom to sleep.

  Although the environment of the posthouse is much better than that of Duanlongshan and Sunjiacun, she was tossing and turning in bed thinking about things related to the case, and it was still difficult for her to fall asleep.

  Listening to the sound of even breathing coming from her side, she gently pushed away Sibao's little hand on her shoulder, and after confirming again that the little guy had fallen asleep safely, she got up quietly, wanting to go out to get some air.

   He tiptoedly opened the two curtains, and saw a cold figure immediately came into view under the weak light at the desk.

  Hearing the movement here, Lin Jinxiao quietly covered the things on the desk, then slowly raised his head, looking at her as if nothing had happened.

  The moment the two looked at each other, Lin Jinxiao smiled, patted his side, and then moved to the side, motioning for Chu Nanzhi to go over.

   "Why don't you rest?"

  Chu Nanzhi realized that he was writing something.

   But since he didn't want to let himself know, he didn't bother himself, and sat on the seat beside him without paying attention.

  Lin Jinxiao smiled calmly at her: "There are still some things to deal with, so let's rest after finishing."

   Paused, a look of complacency faintly flashed across his eyes: "What about you?"

"I?"

  Chu Nanzhi gradually showed bitterness.

  Although the previous cases were all complicated and confusing, they were very simple to deduce.

  And this time, she knew that Sun Wuji was wronged, but until now she still has no clue, and there are still many puzzles waiting for her to solve.

  Lin Jinxiao saw that she had a bitter face, as if she was not what he expected. It seemed that she didn't come here to beg him to sleep with her.

After thinking about it, he immediately realized that she should be troubled by the matter of confronting the court tomorrow, so he could only let go of the disappointment in his heart, and comforted him: "Tomorrow is just the beginning, you don't need to worry, what you should worry about at this time is The murderer behind the scenes."
