In the quiet courtyard of the Honglu Temple Yamen Office, Liu Mingzhi looked in astonishment at the little girl Hua Qiyingzhi in front of him, who was holding a bunch of candied haws.
"What? Your mother went out again today?"
Hua Qiyingzhi stretched out her lilac tongue and licked the candied haws in her hand a few times, looked up at Young Master Liu and nodded vigorously.
"Yeah, yeah, sir, mother, she went out around three o'clock in the morning.
Yingzhi originally wanted to go out with Mom, but no matter what Yingzhi said, Mom just didn't agree to take me."
Liu Mingzhi looked at the serious expression on the little girl's face, closed his folding fan and looked around a few times at the boudoir where the beauty lived.
After Hua Qiyingzhi saw Young Master Liu's actions, she pulled his sleeves angrily.
"Sir, do you not believe Yingzhi? If you don't believe it, I will take you to your mother's room now to see if she is hiding in the room."
"No, no, how could sir not believe what Ying Zhi said!"
"real?"
"Of course it's true, Yingzhi, you are so good, how could you possibly deceive sir!"
"Yes, yes, thank you, sir."
"Sakuraori."
"Huh? Sir?"
"Didn't your husband ask you to tell your mother yesterday evening that he was coming to see her this morning? Didn't you tell her?"
Seeing the confused look on Mr. Liu's face, the little girl hurriedly shook her head: "Notified, notified, sir, as soon as my mother came back yesterday, Yingzhi told her that you were coming to see her today, sir.
Already."
When Liu Mingzhi heard the little girl's explanation, he put his fan bone against his chin and began to think in confusion.
What's going on? Hoshino knew I was coming to see her today, so why did she still go out?
Does she have something important that she must deal with in person?
But Hoshino has no relatives in the capital, so what important things can she do?
Could it be that she was avoiding me on purpose, knowing that I was coming to find her, so she went out?
That's even more inappropriate. It was obviously Hoshino, a stupid woman, who sent someone to find herself yesterday afternoon to ask if she was free.
If she had intentionally avoided him, there would have been no need to send anyone to look for her yesterday afternoon.
Liu Mingzhi, who really couldn't figure it out, shook his head with a confused expression, and squatted happily in front of the little girl Hua Qiyingzhi.
"Sakuraori."
"Hey, sir."
"Do you know what your mother did?"
The little girl shook her head decisively, looked at Young Master Liu and said softly: "I don't know, Ying Zhi and Young Young just had dinner this morning, and Sister Yue'er hurried over."
"What? Your sister Yue'er came to see your mother again today?"
"Yeah, yeah, Yingzhi and my mother just had dinner and sister Yue'er came.
After Sister Yue'er arrived, Mom and the two of them whispered something, and then they went out talking and laughing together."
"Then Yingzhi, do you know what your mother and your sister Yue'er said?"
"I don't know, Yingzhi saw the two of them talking mysteriously.
Every time Sakurazhi tries to eavesdrop on their conversation, her mother will glare at her."
Liu Mingzhi looked at the little girl's depressed expression, gently opened the jade fan and stood up.
After working for a long time, the reason why Hoshino didn't wait for him was because of Yue'er, a stinky girl.
It's strange, when did this stinky girl Yue'er become so close to Hoshino?
The most important thing is, why did the two of them go out together in the middle of the morning?
Before Liu Mingzhi thought about it, Mu Ranjian thought of the scenes that happened at the palace banquet many days ago.

I vaguely remember Liu Song telling me that that night, Yue'er and Hoshino muttered something about an agreement, such as seeing each other tomorrow.
Could it be that Yue'er came to Xingye because of the agreement made that night at the palace banquet?
No, it's been several days since that day. If they had any agreement before, they should have completed it two days ago!
"Sakuraori."
"Um?"
"Tell me, sir, how many times has your sister Yue'er gone out with your mother today?"
"Hmm~ It seems to be the third time, right? It seems to be the fourth time, Yingzhi can't remember clearly."
"What? This is the third or fourth time your sister Yue'er has come to see your mother today?"
"That's right, it's not the third time, it's the fourth time."
Liu Mingzhi suddenly frowned when he heard about the little girl Hua Qiyingzhi.
What the hell? When did the friendship between Yue'er and Master Xing become so deep?
And what on earth were they doing when they went out together so intensively?
"Miss Yingzhi, Miss Yingzhi, Lian Niang came to play with you. Let's go to the outside of the city to release paper kites together today, okay?"
Huh? Daddy, why are you also in Honglu Temple? Are you here to see Aunt Hoshino?"
While Liu Mingzhi was thinking secretly, he suddenly remembered Liu Lianniang's cheering voice in the quiet courtyard.
Liu Mingzhi came to his senses, turned around and looked directly behind him, only to see his good daughter Liu Lianniang looking at him in surprise.
"Lian Niang? Why are you here too?"
Liu Lianniang jumped up to Young Master Liu, looked at her father with a smile, raised the paper kite in her hand and waved it a few times.
"Dad, Lian Niang and Miss Ying Zhi made an appointment a few days ago, and they are going to fly paper kites outside the city together today.
Sister Lingyun, Sister Yunxin, Brother Zhengran and the others have already gone ahead to wait for us outside the city."
Liu Mingzhi smiled lightly and nodded, reaching out and patting Liu Lianniang's bun a few times.
"So that's it, then let's go fly the kites together."
"Yeah, yeah, thank you, daddy."
"Sir, then Yingzhi and sister Lianniang will go to play outside the city first. We will see you later."
"Go, go, don't forget to pay attention to safety."
"knew."
"Daddy, see you later."
Liu Mingzhi looked at the backs of the two little sisters holding hands and walking away together. He casually glanced at the closed door a dozen steps away, shook his jade fan and turned back the way he came.
Yue'er, Yue'er, you stinky girl, don't ruin your father's plan.
You have nothing against your father getting closer to your Aunt Hoshino, but you must not make any principled mistakes.
Otherwise, the father will have to think a lot again.
Liu Mingzhi is not afraid that the cutie will lead Hoshino Sakai to do something outrageous, but he is worried that the cutie will unintentionally make some promises to Hoshino.
And these promises will most likely mess up your original plan.
Liu Mingzhi thought to himself and walked out of the office of Honglu Temple in a swaggering manner.
