Chapter 59 I’m really new here

The corner of Xu Mingchao's mouth twitched twice, and he finally calmed down and said warmly: "Hey, good boy."

He pointed at Chu Yu and looked at Grandma Su Xin, "Su Xin, take this kid down and find some work for him."

Aunt Su Xin responded, opened the door to take Chu Yu out, but Chu Yu did not follow her, but looked at Ning Zhao steadily, with a vague look of worry in his eyes.

Ning Zhao timidly raised his head and glanced at Aunt Su Xin, then said softly: "Then I'll go with my brother."

With that said, she started to walk towards the door.

Xu Mingchao's voice came faintly from behind.

"Wait a minute, I have something else to tell you."

Ning Zhao's steps stopped again.

She turned around and looked at Xu Mingchao doubtfully. Could it be that there was anything else she wanted to explain? It was not convenient for Aunt Su Xin to say it as she was standing here.

"Su Xin, take this child to the front yard yourself and see if there is any work suitable for him."

Although Aunt Su Xin was full of doubts, she didn't say anything and just responded.

Chu Yu moved his steps and walked out behind Grandma Su Xin.

The door is closed from the outside.

Ning Zhao walked gently, looked out from the crack of the door for a few times, then walked back to Xu Mingchao and whispered: "Xu...Mother Xu, is there anything else you want to explain?"

Xu Mingchao did not speak, but took out a small note hidden in the sachet and handed it to Ning Zhao.

"You are a steward of the City Lord's Mansion. In three days, there will be a banquet at the City Lord's Mansion, and a bizarre disappearance will occur. Please find the murderer behind it."

Huh? This grandma also works part-time as a detective?

Ning Zhao held the note handed over by Xu Mingchao, but the more he thought about it, the more familiar it became.

Isn't this a script kill?

"I think junior sister should also have her own tasks."

Xu Mingchao spoke up, interrupting Ning Zhao's thoughts.

Ning Zhao came back to his senses, looked at Xu Mingchao, and said softly: "My mission is to find out my true identity."

Xu Mingchao raised his eyebrows, and surprise flashed across his face.

"According to my observations in the past two days, most people in this small world do not have their own thinking. It is as if they have been prescribed what they will say in what situation."

"You have also seen that for a person like me who doesn't dress much like a nanny, they all call me Aunt Xu and are very affectionate."

"The secret is hidden in the city lord's palace."

Ning Zhao nodded, hesitated for a moment, and asked doubtfully: "Senior Brother Xu... have you seen anyone else?"

"I guess the eldest son of the City Lord's Mansion is Senior Brother Ye."

Xu Mingchao began to pace, but his face still had a calm expression.

He stared at Ning Zhao's face for a long time, and said warmly: "If... I have a conflict with Azhao's mission, what will Azhao do?" Should he draw his sword at each other, or...

Ning Zhao was confused by his sudden question, and it took him a while to realize that Xu Mingchao was testing his attitude.

If there is a conflict between tasks, of course your own task should come first. What matters between fellow sects is fair competition. Besides, no matter who gives it to you, the other party will doubt your own strength, right?

"What will Ah Zhao do?" Xu Mingchao saw that the expression on Ning Zhao's face changed slightly, but he did not give an accurate answer. He couldn't help but feel a little anxious and asked again.

Ning Zhao glanced at Xu Mingchao, who was full of expectations, and asked hesitantly: "Senior brother, will you let me?"

"Senior brother, you are looking down too much. I don't need to be so humble!"

Xu Mingchao originally wanted to say "yes", but when he heard Ning Zhao's last words, these two words suddenly choked in his throat and he couldn't say it out.

Ning Zhao looked at Xu Mingchao's face, which turned white, red, and black, like a palette. It was so funny.

Her little head was spinning rapidly, and she thought of another possibility. She patted her head and asked, "Senior brother, what do you mean by this? Is it possible... that you still want me to let you go?"

Ning Zhao's pupils suddenly dilated, his expression changed again and again, and he snorted, "This is absolutely impossible!"

"I originally thought that Senior Brother Xu was a proud and arrogant person. I didn't expect..."

The words "I didn't expect you to be such a person" were written all over her face, and she looked at Xu Mingchao intently.

Xu Mingchao felt like his head was getting big.

He shouldn't expect anything decent to come out of Ning Zhao's mouth!

Ning Zhao saw Xu Mingchao, who was facing him, suddenly turned around and waved to the door, as if seeing off guests.

Okay, are you asking to be let go? Are you getting angry from embarrassment?

Humph, I’m so used to it!

Ning Zhao snorted and walked outside.

Aunt Su Xin came over from the other end of the corridor carrying a tray.

When she saw Ning Zhao, she felt as if she had seen a savior. Her little feet seemed to be equipped with motors and she walked very fast.

"Xiao Zhao, I heard from your brother that your family used to be a scholarly family?"

"Then, it's up to you to deliver this cup of tea to the eldest young master."

As she spoke, she handed the tray to Ning Zhao.

Ning Zhao looked at the golden nanmu tray in his hand and the pot of tea on it. After thinking about it again and again, he still couldn't help it. He looked at Aunt Su Xin and asked: "Mommy, do you know where the eldest young master's residence is?"

Where?"

Aunt Su Xin slapped her head and said, "Oh, I'm old, I even forgot that you are new here."

"Well, just go straight along this trail and turn left at the first fork. The eldest young master lives in Shuxiangyuan. You should be literate and you won't admit your mistake, right?"

Ning Zhao thought to himself, I just came here and I don’t understand anything yet, so you can just trust me to deliver tea?

But obviously, Aunt Su Xin didn't expect this level. She waved to Ning Zhao, stepped forward with confidence, and went back to the original room.

Wait, eldest son?

On the carriage before, Yuan Bao said that there was a man named Mr. Tianhe in the city lord's palace. Could it be...that he was the eldest son?

Thinking of this, Ning Zhao quickly picked up the tray and walked forward quickly.

Walking into the fork on the left, he only saw a small courtyard surrounded by green bamboo forest. This small courtyard looked really inconsistent with the decoration inside the city lord's palace, and Ning Zhao couldn't help but look around.

The wall of the small courtyard is made of stone bricks and mud blocks, with some golden straw spread on it. At the entrance of the courtyard are two wooden doors with missing teeth, and a small wooden sign with three large characters written in ink on it.

——Shuxiangyuan.

Ning Zhao pushed the door open with his elbow and walked inside.

The inside of this small courtyard is completely different from the outside. It has vermilion-painted pillars, carved window lattice, rockery covered with moss, and a small pond with floating lotus leaves... It really has everything.

She only looked around twice before she was stopped by someone.

A boy opened the door and saw Ning Zhao, "Hey, where are you from?"

"What are you doing here at Shuxiangyuan?"

The boy looked at Ning Zhao from head to toe and asked suspiciously: "Is it possible that you also came to our young master to recommend yourself to the pillow?"

Before Ning Zhao could answer, he clicked his tongue twice more, "No, no, you just came here wearing these clothes. Isn't it too unscrupulous?"

"Raggedy, like a beggar."
