"But I have always regarded Ayou and Jiufeng as brothers. What's more, why didn't I feel this way before?"
Jiufeng, Mu Jiufeng.
Xiao Ling sat obediently in her seat, and could not help but think of the night when she and Mu Jiufeng were trapped in Tianyao Mountain, and murmured:
"Perhaps, the acquaintances in the past are accumulated over time. When you find the right time and place, you will suddenly realize in just a moment that the person in front of you has always been your sweetheart."
Seeing that Ye Sili seemed to understand, Liang Caicai asked:
"You said that you regard Mr. Gu and Mr. Jiufeng as brothers. Then let me ask you, why did you give the Qingyu Sword that you have been looking for for many years to Mr. Gu?"
"..." Ye Sili couldn't answer for a moment.
She just felt that with Ayou having the Qingyu Sword by his side, she would feel more at ease when he went out to do business alone in the future.
"Let me ask you again, why do you always wait at the city gate half a month in advance when Mr. Gu goes out for an expedition?"
"Ayou is marching back to Beijing, so I'm naturally worried about him." Ye Sili lowered his voice, or he couldn't explain why.
Liang Caicai then asked: "Then why are you so worried when Mr. Jiu Feng goes out?"
"..." Ye Sili tried to argue. She was naturally worried when Jiu Feng went out, but looking back at it now, that kind of worry was indeed a little different from worrying about Ayou.
"Think about it again, how much have you protected Mr. Gu all these years?"
Speaking of this, Liang Caicai felt aggrieved unconsciously.
Because Gu Liyou's life experience is unknown, children from aristocratic families often joke about it. Liang Caicai and Ye Sili had a good relationship when they were young, but one of the reasons why their relationship broke up later was because of Gu Liyou.
Liang Caicai has always been an unforgiving person. When she was young, she felt that some brat of unknown origin had robbed her of her best friends, so she never had anything nice to say when they met. Unexpectedly, Ye Sili was very protective of her, and over time, their relationship deteriorated.
There was a stalemate, and Liang Caicai naturally couldn't stand Gu Liyou even more.
Ye Sili often got into fights with others because of their gossip. Because of Ye Sili's identity and the fact that she was always accompanied by Gu Liyou and Mu Jiufeng or Munchun and Huanxia, over time, no one dared to joke about Gu Liyou's life experience.
Already.
Ye Sili was silent for a long time, and could only say this: "Ayou has a gentle temper. If I don't protect him in front of others, he will be bullied."
"..."
As soon as these words came out, the two people in front of them rolled their eyes in anger.
Gu Liyou has a gentle temperament?
I'm afraid she is the only one in the world who thinks so.
Xiao Ling couldn't express her pain, so she just held her forehead and complained: "I am only gentle in front of you."
"What?" Ye Sili didn't hear Xiao Ling's murmur clearly and asked with her head tilted.
"Nothing." Xiao Ling waved her hand quickly, brought the topic back, and asked in a different way: "Think about it this way, if it wasn't Liyou who went to Liangcheng last time..."
"If it's not Liyou, who is that?" Ye Sili asked.
"Don't interrupt." Xiao Ling continued: "If it were Jiu Feng, my fourth brother, or others trapped in Liangcheng, would you still be so reckless about safety and even risk the crime of disrespect?"
As soon as these words came out, Ye Sili fell silent. He lowered his head and thought for a long time. Suddenly his eyes lit up and he raised his head and said, "I won't go."
Xiao Ling clapped her hands excitedly, "Look, that's what it means."
"If you are in danger, Ayou will definitely find a way without me going." Ye Sili said.
"..." Xiao Lingsheng turned his head helplessly and looked at Liang Caicai, who was also helpless, and said: "I can't explain to her, come here."
Seeing the two people's unwillingness to speak, Ye Sili said distressedly: "I have answered your questions seriously. Do you really like them?"
Liang Caicai sighed lightly and said helplessly: "That's all, her head is just like a piece of elm wood now, and she hasn't fully understood it yet. If she really likes it, she will slowly understand in the future."
A maid knocked on the door and came in, respectfully reporting: "Miss, Master Shangshu sent someone to send a message back saying that he is busy with business today and will not return in the evening."
"It's busy with business again." Liang Caicai's expression suddenly dropped, and she was playing with the warm tea cup without interest.
Seeing this, Ye Sili and Xiao Ling suddenly remembered the business they had come out to do today.
Since Liang Hai passed away, Liang Caicai has been supporting the entire Liang family alone. In less than a year, this delicate young lady of the Liang family has grown up visibly.
However, the people in Kyoto are sinister, and it is difficult to defend against open guns and hidden arrows. Liang Hai was in charge of the Ministry of Justice for many years during his lifetime, and offended many enemies. Since Liang Hai passed away, the Liang Mansion has been in decline, and naturally many people have taken advantage of it.
Fortunately, Liang Yi repaid his kindness and had been secretly helping Liang Caicai after taking over the Ministry of Justice, so Liang Caicai's life was not difficult.
Ye Sili pressed Liang Caicai's hand, forcing her to come back to her senses, and encouraged her: "Cai Cai, it's not an option for you to just guard in silence like this. You have to take the initiative."
Because Liang Hai had no children and Liang Yi's parents, Liang Hai let Liang Yi live in Liang Mansion, and he got used to it after so many years.
But Liang Hai passed away, leaving only Liang Yi and Liang Caicai in the house. Although Liang Yi was magnanimous in his heart, he couldn't stop gossiping. Considering that this would really damage Liang Caicai's reputation, he planned to move out, and Liang Caicai naturally refused.
I am willing, so I asked them to come out to discuss it together today.
"Why take the initiative? I...I don't dare." Liang Caicai said nervously.
Ye Sili hated the fact that the iron was not strong enough and said: "Just now you said that I am not fair and righteous, why do you get cold feet when it comes to Liang Yi?"
"How dare you talk about Caicai?" Xiao Ling stretched out his hand and patted Ye Sili's shoulder gently, saying: "You don't even understand your own affairs, but now you are very smart when you are helping others make suggestions."
Ye Sili was speechless, but she heard Xiao Ling say to Liang Caicai: "But my attitude is the same as Sili's on this matter. If you don't take the initiative, when he moves out, you might even end up together."
It’s hard to see.”
Liang Yi is a perfect workaholic. If he hadn't missed his old relationship and needed to help Liang Caicai, I'm afraid he would have lived in the Ministry of Justice.
I really can't think of anything worth liking about Liang Yi. He is most suitable to spend his life with a public case clerk.
Xiao Ling rested her head on the table with her hands on the table, and unconsciously thought of a nasty guy holding a folding fan in his mind, but he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.
Liang Caicai noticed her expression, her eyes widened in disbelief, and she said in horror: "Why do I feel that something is not right with you two today?"
After saying that, Liang Caicai glanced at the bright sun outside, and carefully turned her gaze back to the two people in front of her.
Ye Sili and Xiao Ling were confused, and they heard her say coldly: "Fairy, let my sister go quickly."
"..."
Bai walked into Yusheng Courtyard with a big stride. When he saw the people walking in the courtyard, he immediately stepped forward and reported back: "Sir, I just asked Wuchun, and she said that the princess is not coming back for lunch or dinner."
Gu Liyou slowly walked to the stool in the shade and sat down. His eyes unconsciously glanced towards the courtyard door, but he didn't care at all: "It's okay if you don't come back. She also has her own friends, so she should."
"If you're not worried, just say you're not worried. You're still so stubborn." Bai Yi raised his hand and touched his nose, muttering in a low voice.
Gu Liyou gave a cold look, "What did you say?"
"No, it's nothing." Bai Yi quickly changed his words. After thinking about it again and again, looking at the young master who was restless at this moment, he still couldn't help but ask: "Young Master, why do I feel that you and the princess have been together since I came back from Liangcheng this time?
Are they all a little weird?”
Gu Liyou raised her eyes and glanced at him, gesturing for him to continue.
Bai Yi said while observing Gu Liyou's expression:
"Look, although you two had a very good relationship in the past and were simply envious of others, since the Liangcheng incident ended, I always feel that the princess is avoiding you intentionally or unintentionally."
"Have you noticed it too?" At this point, Gu Liyou almost stood up, but still pretended to be indifferent and motioned for Bai Yi to continue speaking.
Bai Yi blinked twice, not only I saw it, but everyone saw it, okay?
Just late in the spring, he caught him and asked him if the young master had done anything to disgrace the princess.
"Did you...did something to anger the princess?" Bai Yi asked with heart in mind.
"How could I make her angry?" Gu Li stood up anxiously, so scared that Bai Yi quickly hid behind him.
Thinking about it carefully, he and Ah Li have known each other for many years, and they have never had any quarrel or quarrel.
Ah Li has an approachable temperament. Although she occasionally likes to play pranks, has many clever ideas, and is even very courageous, she is not an unreasonable person and it is very pleasant to get along with her.
Seeing that his young master had not yet realized the seriousness of the matter, Bai Yi kindly reminded:
"A girl's mind is very delicate. You can't tell which word or move you make will offend her. What's more, girls are also very changeable. They like this one today and fall in love with that one tomorrow. Otherwise, why would the princess not do it today?
I went back home for dinner, but I specially cooked some cakes and sent them to the Ministry of Punishment?"
Just like a certain stinky girl who recently said that the new actor in the theater next to the bridge is pretty and cute, and she sneaks out to listen to music every day when she has free time.
That pretty boy just looks a little whiter, what's so big about it?
Thinking like this, Bai Yi also became angry.
"Ali went to the Criminal Department? Why did she go to the Criminal Department?" Gu Liyou asked quickly.
"It seems that he is going to deliver food to Liang Yi, the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, right? I don't know the specific details. It's just that the princess asked the accompanying Huan Xia to come back first. I heard what Huan Xia said."
Liang Yi?
Ah Li personally made cakes for Liang Yi?
Just thinking about it made him feel extremely uncomfortable, and he immediately ordered: "Take the previous case files and follow me to the Criminal Department."
"???" Bai Yi was stunned for a moment, looked at Gu Liyou who had turned around and entered the room, and asked uncertainly: "All the case files in the Jiangnan area?"
The door was closed tightly, and only a "hmm" came out.
At noon, Ye Sili and the others walked out of the back kitchen of the Liang Mansion and went straight to the Criminal Department.
