Chapter 206 The dove takes over the magpie's nest
This is how Xin Youran and Leng Yue "accidentally" met at the Yuemanlou Inn.
"No way? Why are you here?"
"No way? Why are you here?"
One of them went upstairs and the other went downstairs. When they saw each other, the words they said were surprisingly consistent.
Xin Youran: Um, how should I tell her? I can't just say that I left Bishui Village on the same horse with Mu Yuan, and then I didn't want to expose Crescent Moon Valley, so he had no choice but to bring me here, right?
Leng Yue: How should I tell her this? I can't just say that she got so carried away by Xia Hou Rui calling her "sister" that she was brought here for no apparent reason...
"Oh, I left something here. Come and get it. I'll be back soon."
Xin Youran answered calmly on the surface, but in fact she had already begun to pray silently in her heart that Leng Yue would not ask any more questions!
Leng Yue: Haha, little guy, you are quite good at pretending, everyone can do that.
"We're really on the same page. I'm here to get something too. I'll wait for you in the lobby and we'll go back together."
"Oh, okay, okay."
Xin Youran finally breathed a sigh of relief. She had nothing, but she still had to pretend and walked upstairs to her room.
Leng Yue was praying in her heart that the lingering Xia Hou Rui would not appear in the lobby at this time...
She didn't want to be slapped in the face so soon!
At this moment, Xia Hou Rui had just returned to his room and sat down when he sneezed violently. He was muttering in his heart that maybe Yueyue missed him, as they had only been apart for less than a cup of tea.
The door was suddenly opened. Who is this fool who is so ignorant of etiquette?
As soon as he stood up, he suddenly thought, could it be Leng Yue?
Just as I was excitedly preparing to go over to greet him, I looked up and saw Mu Yuan.
"Second brother?"
How come he is here?
Shouldn't I be with Brother Xin right now?
Mu Yuan ignored him and walked straight into the room, then sat in the seat where Xiahou Rui had just sat.
Xia Hou Rui: ...
On the surface, he still stepped forward and respectfully poured him a cup of tea. "I wonder what instructions do you have, second brother?"
Mu Yuan took a sip of tea and frowned. Tsk, it tastes so bad!
After putting down the teacup, he asked, "How's the investigation going on with Guo Zhen?"
Xiahou Rui didn't expect that Mu Yuan would come to the inn to discuss business with him.
"Yu Zanxian belongs to [Luoyu], but Guo Zhen has been confirmed not to be from [Luoyu]. He is not in [Luoyu]'s archives."
"No connection with Marquis Dingguo has been found."
"But he does work for Ningxiang Pavilion, which has always been part of [Luoyu]. Combined with his relationship with Yuzhanxian, I speculate that he is independent of [Luoyu], yet obeys a certain general manager within [Luoyu].
When Mu Yuan heard this, he nodded. He already knew who this person was.
I really underestimated him. He actually cultivated another force besides [Falling Rain].
"Announcement: Starting today, Luoxianyuan will resume normal business after the rectification is completed."
Xiahou Rui was full of questions. He was talking about Guo Zhen, so why did he suddenly talk about Luoxianyuan?
The person in charge of Luoxianyuan had gone to the Dali Temple to ask for help countless times, but they hadn't given a definite answer. They said they would rectify the situation, but since a courtesan had died, there was really nothing to rectify. They were just waiting for the emperor's word.
"Send someone to keep a close eye on her, especially the new courtesan."
The new top courtesan?
Yes, if Luoxianyuan reopens, it will definitely select a new top courtesan.
He didn't know what Mu Yuan was up to, but he knew the show was about to begin. "Yes, second brother."
After a long time, Xiahou Rui saw that he had no intention of getting up at all, and was a little confused.
After everything was explained, he waited for everyone to leave so that he could go to the Dali Temple and convey the Crown Prince's intentions.
As a result, after waiting for a long time, Mu Yuan just sat there as steady as a rock, uh, closing his eyes to rest?
No, this seems to be the room that Xiahou Rui has booked for a long time, right?
"Well, second brother, if there's nothing else, I'll go to the Dali Temple right now."
"You..."
Mu Yuan thought that the person had already left, so he opened his eyes and said, "Oh, go and do your thing. I will wait for Doctor Qin here."
"I'll stay here tonight."
Stay, stay?
So what should he do tonight? He didn't want to go back to his own home. How could there be such a bustling Yue Manlou there? More importantly, Leng Yue was not at home!
Xiahou Rui just wanted to overturn the table, but the person who took over the position was none other than his second brother, the one who knew how to make things difficult for him the most!
He could only complain in his heart.
I wonder what Leng Yue is doing now?
When I think of Leng Yue, everything else has to be put aside. I'll go and see her first, and it won't be too late to get down to business later.
Thinking of this, my mood improved.
He came to Leng Yue's door as if he was familiar with it and knocked again and again, but there was no response.
He had no choice but to go to the lobby and ask the waiter, only then did he know that Leng Yue and Xin Qiji had already left Yuemanlou on horseback.
It’s that Xin Qiji again. This guy is really haunting us!
First it was his second brother, then Leng Yue. This guy really is popular with both men and women!
The more Xiahou Rui thought about it, the angrier he became. Next time he caught this guy, he would definitely have a fight with him.
*
When Leng Yue brought Xin Youran back to Crescent Valley, it was just getting dark. In the past, this was the time when every household would finish their work and go home to cook dinner.
Some villagers passing by their fields and courtyards would chat with them for a few minutes before going home.
Today is unusually quiet.
Xin Youran knew that everyone must know that the old monster died because of her, and they probably hated her to death in their hearts...
Should she stay here?
Just as she was lowering her head and acting emo, she suddenly felt something licking her hand...
She was suddenly brought back to reality, and when she saw a little black dog tilting its head and looking at her with its two big round eyes, her heart melted.
It’s Momo!
It seemed like I hadn't seen it for a long time. It had grown a lot. Xin Youran couldn't help but reach out and touch its head. It actually rubbed her palm obediently.
The little tongue stuck out and the mouth curved up.
It’s so healing!
So, the world cannot do without dog repairers.
"What are you hesitating about? It's going to be dark soon and I'm starving."
"Someone seemed to have promised to make me something delicious."
Leng Yue saw Xin Youran looking at her blankly and suddenly became anxious, "What?"
"Do you want to learn to be like the nobles who forget things?"
Xin Youran quickly replied, "How, how could it be..."
She had been busy all day without drinking a drop of water, and only now did she feel hungry and thirsty.
I wonder if Chanchan and Anning had a good meal...
"How about we go to the old monster's house for dinner tonight?"
When she naturally mentioned the old monster's house, she realized that the man was gone and she would never see him in their yard again...
