In the private room of Juxian Building, Mei Min, who had been waiting early, was looking forward to seeing Pei Shanhui arrive as promised.
As a result, she waited for a long time, and it was already noon, but Pei Shan still didn't come. At this time, she could no longer sit still, but she was unwilling to leave, so she had to continue waiting.
When Shenshi arrived, the sun was almost setting, and Mei Min had to face the reality that Pei Shan would not come.
With a gloomy face, she slowly got up from the chair. The tea in her hand was already cold, so she threw the teacup on the ground with a harsh sound.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
Mei Min quickly kicked the quilt under the table with her feet and hurriedly opened the door.
But the moment he opened the door, the smile on his lips froze before it could bloom.
Outside the door, Gao Xian looked at her with a gloomy face, motionless. His dark eyes revealed the disgust in her heart. At this moment, Mei Min panicked.
She murmured uneasily: "Why are you here?"
Gao Xian smiled and asked: "What about you, who are you waiting for?"
Mei Min squeezed her handkerchief, worried that her marriage to Gao Xian would be ruined, and she would become the laughing stock of the entire capital. So she forced herself to say: "I didn't wait for anyone, but it was just because I was a little bored in the house.
That’s why it came out.”
Gao Xian naturally didn't believe it, but he had no evidence to catch a thief.
So he continued to lie: "Really? But how did I hear that you came here specially to wait for someone?"
Mei Min was anxious and said quickly: "Who said that? Go and ask him to confront me. This is the Xu family's place. If I want to meet someone, I wouldn't choose this place!"
After saying that, he dragged Gao Xian and said, "If you don't believe it, come with me and ask Xu Xiao. This is his place. I only found out after following Mrs. Lu here."
Gao Xian and Xu Xiao had personal contacts, so he naturally knew that this was Xu Xiao's place.
He was pulled by Mei Min. Although he was disdainful in his heart, he did not resist.
He was thinking, just a woman, what kind of trouble could she cause?
What's more, he didn't believe that Xu Xiao would lie for Mei Min.
Soon, Mei Min pulled Gao Xian to the counter and said she wanted to see Xu Xiao.
Xu Xiao had just arrived and was drinking with friends in the box. Suddenly he was called out by the shopkeeper. He also looked confused.
When he was about to ask more questions, he saw Mei Min leading Gao Xian. Both of them looked very bad, as if they had been caught and raped.
This is wonderful, Xu Xiao thought, her eyes lit up.
He took them to Dingxiang Pavilion, and then asked: "Since you two have come to the shop, please sit down here. I will be the host today, so just eat and drink well."
Gao Xian said: "Stop working, we are not here to eat."
Xu Xiao looked stunned and said: "I'm not here to eat, that's..."
Gao Xian looked at Mei Min and said nothing.
Mei Min pursed her lips and pretended to be calm and said, "I felt like the house was stuffy so I came here to sit there. I thought we were acquaintances, so I wasn't worried. Who knew he was worried about chasing after me and thought I was having a tryst with someone."
"I have been in Juxian Building and have never been out, and no one has been to my box. Mr. Xu has to bear witness for me."
After Xu Xiao heard this, he laughed immediately.
He patted Gao Xian on the shoulder and said: "You have forgotten how embarrassed you were before. It was not easy to settle the marriage. Why are you still doubting it?"
"Mr. Gao, as a man, you need to be more generous. We've already agreed to get married. Is it possible that Miss Mei will still run away?"
"Besides, although my Juxian Building is a place for eating and drinking, not everyone can come. If any acquaintances come, such as you, I will personally entertain them."
Gao Xian was surprised. Xu Xiao knew it best when he couldn't get what he asked for.
Now asking Xu Xiao to testify for Mei Min is really ridiculous.
He cupped his hands and said, "It was my poor thinking that made Mr. Xu laugh. Let's do this. I will apologize to Mr. Xu some other time and we can have a nice drink."
Xu Xiao said: "That's good, I'll wait."
Gao Xian nodded and left with Mei Min. However, when he went downstairs and thought about it carefully, he realized that Xu Xiao actually said nothing, let alone confirmed for Mei Min that she was innocent.
Haha, Xu Fox! Gao Xian sneered in his heart, but he didn't hate Xu Xiao's style of doing things. He knew very well that Xu Xiao would not offend Mei Min just to please him.
Mei Min, who was originally in a bad mood, became even more depressed now. How come she was caught by Gao Xian? Fortunately, Pei Shan didn't come, otherwise she wouldn't be able to explain clearly even if she had ten mouths.
It was at this time that she realized that there was such a big difference between being engaged and not being engaged. From now on, whenever she wanted to go alone anywhere, she would have to report it.
Otherwise, if Gao Xian pressed further, she would have to find someone to testify and provide physical evidence, which would be very troublesome.
At this time, Mei Min did not realize that from the moment she and Gao Xian got engaged, the people who regulated her words and deeds were not only her parents, but Gao Xian was also one of them.
She was just panicked because she was almost exposed, but she was secretly glad that she escaped.
When the two returned to Mei Mansion, Master Mei's condition had stabilized. Mrs. Li thought they had gone out together and was very happy.
However, I still told my daughter in private that she should be careful to avoid suspicion and so on since she was not married yet.
Gao Xian learned that his master was ill again, and felt a little uneasy. He didn't know whether it was because of the cold weather recently, or whether it was the sequelae of the blow on the back of his head made by his wife. His head hurt from time to time, and every time it hurt, it looked scary.
He remembered that the teacher didn't have these strange diseases in the past. Could it be that he was old?
At this moment, Gao Xian was filled with doubts.
By chance, Mrs. Li came to see Gao Xian after giving instructions to her daughter, and took him to the back cover to talk.
When no one was around, Mrs. Li asked: "Is there no news about Li Jin yet?"
Gao Xian's heart trembled. He had almost forgotten such a person even if Mrs. Li didn't ask.
Gao Xian is still locked up by him and is almost sick from fear. But he is not going to kill Li Jin. Only when Li Jin is around, Mei Min will know what it means to be afraid.
Gao Xian shook his head: "I asked people to search everywhere, both inside and outside the capital, but I didn't search far away. There is no news at all."
Mrs. Li grabbed her handkerchief anxiously and said, "Will he be killed? Leave his body in the wilderness?"
The corner of Gao Xian's mouth twitched a few times, thinking to himself, how dare you say that! But he said on his face: "Now the governments everywhere are strictly arresting criminals, and those who are as timid as mice don't even dare to steal. If you want to kill someone..."
Mrs. Li said coldly: "Then why can't you find it? Have you looked for it? I will go to Li's house today to get medicine for your master. Li Jin's parents are already preparing to report to Dali Temple. How powerful is Huang Shaoyu?
I don’t need to say more, if he catches Li Jin then, the matter about Min Min will be exposed."
"We can ask the emperor to let Li Jin die in prison, but if your master knows about it, then your marriage to Minmin will not be possible."
Although Gao Xian was extremely disgusted, he thought that if it weren't for his master, he wouldn't want to marry Mei Min.
Now it was really hard to get off the horse, so I had to cheer up and said: "Don't worry, Master, I have some friends on the road and many connections. If someone died somewhere, even if the government can't find it, they will get the news. I will go and ask tonight.
"
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Li breathed a sigh of relief and said: "The best thing is to find it. If you can't find it, a corpse will do."
"Anyway, you must do this well."
Gao Xian nodded, seeming to agree on his face, but in fact he was thinking, the more you hint to me to kill Li Jin, the less I will do it.
Otherwise, the handle wouldn’t fall into your hands?
For a time, the two of them had different thoughts and had their own considerations.
