Chapter 300 Suet Jade

"Did Wan'er come back through Xiangzhou?" Shen Yishuo was very concerned.

"It was already setting sun when we arrived in Xiangzhou, so we stayed in the city for one night." Yunguan responded truthfully.

"Is it because I stayed in Baiyin Inn?" Shen Yishuo said thoughtfully.

"Yes, how did you know brother? Did you hear Linzi say it?" Yunguan was very curious.

"I guess Linzi had to stay at Baiyin when he passed by Xiangzhou. He really thought about it." Shen Yishuo smiled evilly. He knew Ze Fenglin too much.

"I think it's my brother who thinks of Baiyin?" Yunguan remembered the poem Shen Yishuo left to Baiyin Inn, which was obviously written to please Yiren.

"Who else can I miss you except Wan'er?" Shen Yishuo couldn't help but caress Yunguan's cheek.

"Miss Hu'er, she looks like a fairy." Yunguan jealously avoided Shen Yishuo's caress, but if she was a man, she might also like Hu'er's appearance of indifference to everything, she is gorgeous and cold, which can especially inspire a man's competitive spirit to conquer a beauty.

"Wan'er's jealousy is inexplicable? How did it involve me and her?" Shen Yishuo was puzzled.

"Linzi said, you have been to Baiyin Inn before and admire Hu'er very much." Yunwan said disapprovingly.

"I was so disobedient. He said he was very moved by Hu'er, so I specially checked his family background for him." Shen Yishuo personally ran to ask the shopkeeper of Baiyin Inn for Ze Fenglin's admiration, and then learned about Hu'er's life background.

"Really?" Yunguan was half-believing and half-doubting.

"That girl is the legitimate daughter of the prefect of Xiangzhou. The lady of a noble family should not leave the door, but she was an exception and was willing to show up in Baiyin Inn to perform her skills. She was so worried that she would even cut off her father-daughter relationship with her." Shen Yishuo told Yunguan like a joke.

"Mr. Liang? He is also the prefect of Xiangzhou now?" Yunguan didn't think how handsome Mr. Liang was, how could he have such a beautiful daughter?

"Master Sikong from Zongbaifu, can Guan'er know?" Shen Yishuo said mysteriously.

"I heard a little." Yunguan was confused by Shen Yi. She didn't know how Lord Sikong could have something to do with Xiangzhou when he was far away in the imperial capital.

"Mr. Liang's legitimate wife is Sikong Feng's real sister." Shen Yishuo knew the family background in the court. Since he was in the officialdom, he should pay more attention to the details.

"Since you can get to the royal family, wouldn't you be a match with Linzi?" Yunguan did not realize Ze Fenglin's admiration for Miss Hu'er. Maybe she didn't care.

"I also thought about the good thing about matching Linzi at that time, but unfortunately I felt it was inappropriate after I got to know that Lord Zefeng and Lord Sikong were not incompatible, so I definitely could not agree to this marriage. Moreover, if Concubine Xuan knew that Hu'er had been a show-selling girl, she would definitely refuse it completely." Shen Yishuo knew Concubine Xuan's personality very well, especially how much she looked up to her mother's family and how much she liked her nephew's future.

"That's a pity." Yunguan never thought that the person who met by chance had a close relationship with his old acquaintance. Many facts in this world are coincidental.

"And Sikong Feng and his sister wanted to marry Hu'er to me... What about the prince's brother?" Shen Yishuo hesitated for a long time, and finally told him about this.

"Do you marry you? Or the prince?" Yunguan frowned and questioned.

"Lord Sikong tried his best to make his niece the crown princess, but after he failed, he hinted at me." Shen Yishuo was very open-minded.

"What are you still dissatisfied with as a fairy-like beauty?" Yunguan asked back.

"A beautiful woman is like a cloud, but I can only see Wan'er when I am in the well and watch the sky." Shen Yishuo smiled knowingly.

"Really?" Yunguan savored Shen Yishuo's words carefully, and always felt something was wrong. "Why did my brother want to say that he had never seen the world of beautiful women, so he looked at me short-sightedly? Humph~"

"No, don't be so funny, don't be angry, let's talk about some serious matters. Wan'er must have heard of the murder of Baiyin Inn?" Shen Yishuo's delay on the road was to deliberately turn to Xiangzhou.

"Well, Mr. Xu died miserably, we are all witnesses." Yunguan didn't dare to witness the bloody scene with her own eyes. Just listening to others' descriptions, she could imagine Mr. Xu's miserable situation.

"Xu Mo's death is inseparable from the Ancient Sect Alliance." Shen Yishuo's tone was extremely firm. He would definitely find out the truth about this matter.

"Is it just because of that similar silver needle?" Yunguan made a judgment completely based on silver needles, because cases related to the Ancient Sect Alliance are all related to kidnapping and robbery, and it is rare for those who are purely murdered like Mr. Xu.

"It's not only the silver needle, but I found out that Xu Mo had a deal with the bandits. The batch of food and grass that my elder brother was robbed was transported to Xu Mo. Maybe he was destroyed because he learned the inside story." Shen Yishuo inferred that Mr. Xu must have colluded with the bandits.

"There is this? Could it be that Xu Mo and the bandits jointly conspired to succeed in King Huanyi?" Yunguan also analyzed the possibility.

"I don't rule out this possibility, and I don't know what the final result can be found in the Zongcha Mansion. Let's wait and see." Shen Yishuo temporarily placed his hopes on the Zongcha Mansion, but he would never give up after he found out.

"I proposed to Lord Liang that Mr. Xu's case be handed over to the Zongcha Mansion. After all, it is safer to merge and investigate the case in connection with the Ancient Sect Alliance." Yunguan's guess was correct.

When she stayed at Baiyin Inn, it was Yunguan's closest contact with the Anshang Sect Alliance, although she was not sure that the real murderer of her father was among the guests that night.

"Wan'er's suggestion is very good. I heard about this case and thought I had time to go to Xiangzhou to see it." Shen Yishuo did not say that he had been to Xiangzhou.

"It turns out that my brother came back because of Mr. Xu's fall from the building..." Yunguan looked disappointed.

"Of course I came back to give my Wan'er... a gift." Shen Yishuo took out a mutton fat jade bracelet from his collar, which was transparent and gentle, as if it was glowing with a faint fluorescent light.

"Do you like it?" Shen Yishuo gently took Yunguan's hand and brought the bracelet up. The jade bracelet with fair skin became even whiter, making him unable to tell whether it was Guan'er's slender hand white or mutton fat jade white.

"I like it." Yunguan was very shy when Shen Yishuo's affectionate eyes stared at him.

Shen Yishuo unconsciously kissed Wan'er's hand gently, "Do you still want it?"

"What do you want?" Yunguan thought Shen Yishuo was asking him if he wanted to kiss him, and his face was ashamed as if he had applied heavy rouge.

"Of course it's a gift? Wan'er, what do you want? Or what do you want?" Shen Yishuo took out a pair of earrings and shook them in front of Yun's eyes. He saw that the pair of pendants and jade bracelets were polished from the same piece of material.
