If it weren't for Shi Qiqing's fame, we wouldn't have arrested him!

An Jiangchun, who was standing outside the private room, muttered to himself and listened carefully. Shi Qiqing, a hermit from Wusha Town, was the person his master named to arrest, but before they could take action, Shi Qiqing was taken away. For this reason, the master even lost his temper in the house.

Although they all speculated that Shi Qiqing was kidnapped by the Crown Prince, they could not find him without evidence. If they could find Shi Qiqing's whereabouts this time, their trip would have been worthwhile.

In the private room, Shen Ge shook his head and sighed, "We searched all over Wusha Town and couldn't find Mr.'s whereabouts, so we could only spread out and look around. Most people here have only heard of Mr.'s name, but have never seen him, so That’s why I have to trouble Brother Zheng to help me draw Mr.’s portrait.”

Zheng Changming, who had just acquired the painter Hezhou Shen, did his part and said, "Drunk Mo, go to the carriage and get my pen and ink from this young master."

Although the title of "Hezhou Divine Painter" was a top hat given to Zheng Changming by Shen Ge, looking at the lifelike Mr. Dongzhu in his paintings, Shen Ge, whose eyes were red, felt that Zheng Changming was worthy of this title and was very beautiful. The words are endless.

Zheng Changming liked to paint and was good at painting. After receiving this praise, he drew several small portraits for Mr. Dongzhu and gave them to Shen Ge. "Brother Yu will also send people around to find the whereabouts of Mr. Dong Zhu. Brother Yu We settled at the Hongchang Inn, where is Brother Shen Xian? If we have the news, we can communicate with each other."

Shen Ge carefully put the portrait away before replying, "The teahouse that I opened at the third street corner of Nancheng will open on August 14th. Brother Zheng can come and sit there when he is free in the future."

"Okay! On August 14th, Brother Yu will definitely come to support us."

After the two separated, Shen Ge took the small portrait painted by Zheng Changming and went to the carving shop to make rubbings of Mr. Dongzhu's portrait.

On the appointed day, when Shen Ge went to pick up the woodblocks and portraits, he heard a group of people talking about the Lin family in the shop. At first, what they said was understandable, but later on it became more and more unpleasant.

A man with a wretched appearance said in amusement, "Do you know why the Lin family didn't let Miss Lin, who looked like a fairy, appear in public before, but after the flood, they let her go?"

"Why?" everyone asked in unison.

The wretched man looked around and lowered his voice and said, "I also heard someone say that Miss Lin was raped by bandits when she was in Wusha Town!"

"Ah?!" Several people who heard the gossip exclaimed in unison. Shen Ge frowned and looked sharp.

"When others hear it, that's what we hear." The wretched man winked at everyone, "Hey, that bandit is really lucky..."

"Isn't it..." Everyone understood and laughed.

Shen Ge walked over and took out a handful of pumpkin seeds and put them on the table. He pretended to be interested and asked, "Uncle, who did you hear about this?"

To the west of Xuanzhou City, in the backyard garden of the Zhao family, inside the hexagonal pavilion on the water.

Lin Ruyu was sitting next to Zhao Jinhuan, eating tea, and found that Yu Shuqi and Song Xiuying, who were sitting opposite, looked at her with strange and sympathetic eyes from time to time.

Lin Ruyu sighed secretly.

In this life, he saved his mother and A Heng, and was not fooled by the fake An Ziyuan, but some things still cannot be changed, such as the scene before him.

As the host, Zhao Jinhuan was unhappy, "You two can't just say it openly if you have something to say? If you insist on whispering to each other, you are acting like a talkative woman at such a young age."….

What little girl can bear to be called a talkative woman? Song Xiuying, the daughter of the drug dealer Song Tianxiang, tore up her veil and said angrily, "Sister Jinhuan, what are you talking about? We are here to congratulate you on getting hairpins today. If you don't welcome us, we will

Just leave!"

You came up here on your own, do you think I'm a stranger to you? Zhao Jinhuan raised his sleeves and said neatly, "Let's go slowly without seeing you off."

"Do you think this girl is willing to stay here and cause bad luck?" Song Xiuying glanced at Lin Ruyu meaningfully, turned around and walked out of the small pavilion.

Yu Shuqi, who stayed in his original position, moved awkwardly and whispered, "Sister Jinhuan, don't be angry..."

"Being angry with her? You can't do it." Zhao Jinhuan picked up a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake and handed it to Lin Ruyu, "If Jiaojiao likes it, just eat two more pieces."

Lin Ruyu thanked her and took the cake.

Yu Shuqi glanced at Lin Ruyu carefully, then quickly looked away, her expression was exactly the same as in Lin Ruyu's memory. But this time, Lin Ruyu didn't give her a chance to speak, "Sister Shuqi must be thirsty after talking for a long time, let's have a cup of tea."

"

Yu Shuqi, who was choked by the words, picked up the tea cup and wondered how Lin Ruyu still had the nerve to come out to see people after what happened.

Lin Ruyu raised her lips and smiled. Look, isn't this different from what she remembered?

Zhao Jinhuan asked Lin Ruyu about Fang's physical condition, "Is your mother feeling better?"

Lin Ruyu smiled and replied, "Much better, but I still feel dizzy when I get up, and I will need to stay in the house for a while."

Although Zhao Jinhuan was also curious about the Lin family's mother and daughter's experiences last month, he didn't ask any more questions. He only comforted, "Both blessings and misfortunes depend on each other. After you have passed the hurdles last month, you will have a prosperous journey. After these two busy days,

, I’ll go to your aunt’s house again.”

Lin Ruyu smiled narrowly, "Sister, I'd better embroider the wedding dress first. When my mother comes to add makeup to my sister in a few days, I can see her."

Zhao Jinhuan got her hairpin today and will marry to the Ning family in Suzhou next month. Because the two places are far apart, the wedding procession has to leave a few days in advance. So after the Zhao family has finished the ceremony for their daughter's hairpin today, they will be busy preparing for the wedding.

marry.

In the last life, Lin Ruyu was ridiculed and insulted by Zhao Xiuying and others in public. After she left the Zhao family in tears, she never had the chance to see her best friend again.

Zhao Jinhuan hugged his good sister and cried, "Jiaojiao, I don't want to marry..."

Yu Shuqi covered her mouth and smiled, "If my sister doesn't marry, my cousin will cry."

The Ning family in Suzhou is Yu Shuqi's maternal grandfather's family, and the marriage between the Zhao and Ning families was the matchmaker of Yu Shuqi's mother, Ning.

Zhao Jinhuan blushed when Yu Shuqi mentioned her fiancé, making Lin Ruyu and Yu Shuqi laugh continuously.

Yuying quickly walked into the pavilion and whispered behind Lin Ruyu, "Girl, the second girl and Miss Song are quarreling."

Before Lin Ruyu could speak, Zhao Jinhuan stood up and said, "She is no longer a talkative woman here, and she has gone to another place to cause trouble. Jiaojiao comes with me!"

Yu Shuqi took two quick steps to follow Lin Ruyu and whispered, "Sister Ruyu, have you heard some gossip from outside..."

"Since it's just gossip, why should I listen?" Lin Ruyu just didn't want her to speak, suffocating her to death!

Yu Shuqi...

Under the blooming crape myrtle tree in the garden, 10-year-old Lin Rumei and 16-year-old Song Xiuying glared at each other. Because they were a little shorter, Lin Rumei stood on tiptoes. She could not lose in terms of momentum.

This was something that had never happened in the previous life. Lin Ruyu smiled warmly and saw Zhang Yuzhen stepping forward and grabbing Lin Rumei's arm, barely pulling her down, causing the onlookers to sneer.

Zhang Yuzhen supported Lin Rumei and said disgustedly, "Rumei, please stop making trouble. If you continue to make trouble, people will say that we girls from the Lin family don't understand the rules and are uncultured."

"Did cousin forget her last name?" Lin Ruyu stepped forward and pushed Zhang Yuzhen away, supported her second sister and asked in a low voice, "Is your foot sprained?"

When Lin Rumei saw her sister coming, she couldn't help but cry, "Sister, they made up bad things about you, said about you, said about you..."

"Ha!" Seeing that Lin Rumei couldn't say anything, Song Xiuying sneered, feeling extremely happy.

I asked you to plot my family's food supply, and you made my father look embarrassed in front of everyone! It doesn't matter that you, Lin Ruyu, are beautiful, but now that you are a piece of junk, no one wants you!

Zhao Jinhuan's face sank, "Song Xiuying, are you finished?"

"It's not me who said it. Go out and listen, people all over the street are spreading the word." Song Xiuying gloated...
