Chapter 127 Early preparations for the engagement period
Chapter 127 Engagement period, prepare early
The headache after a hangover almost killed Su Jinxiu.
She squeezed two drops of spiritual spring water and drank it before she felt better.
When I went out, I realized that the sun was already high.
When I walked into the yard, I found it was piled with things.
Deng Damu and Zhang Qiushui were doing inventory there. When they saw Su Jinxiu going out, they quickly called her forward.
"Come on Jinxiu, this is Wang Jiu's betrothal gift.
He's still moving outside right now! Look, what else is missing?"
Su Jinxiu was stunned and quickly ran out the door.
Sure enough, I saw Wang Jiu moving things from the carriage. When he saw her coming, he hurried forward.
"Ajin, are you awake? Did you sleep well last night?"
Su Jinxiu looked at the boxes and then at Wang Jiu.
He looked a little at a loss.
"Ajiu, where did you get the money to buy these?"
Wang Jiu smiled and said indifferently.
"I found an old friend and gave me a little help."
Su Jinxiu frowned. She had never heard Ah Jiu say that he had any friends in Wucheng.
Seeing that Su Jinxiu didn't speak, Wang Jiu's smile faded a little.
The light in his eyes fell apart.
"Ah Jin, have you forgotten what I said yesterday?"
It seems that as long as Su Jinxiu dares to say yes, he will collapse immediately.
Su Jinxiu looked at Wang Jiu seriously and shook her head.
"I haven't forgotten, isn't it that the date has not yet been decided?
Why not, let’s do it on August 15th!
People reunited under the full moon, sharing the beauty of the moon thousands of miles apart."
When Wang Jiu heard this, his eyes glowed again.
"Okay, just listen to Ah Jin."
After finally moving the betrothal gifts into the house, Li Zhaodi was shocked when she heard the commotion and saw the small mountain-like betrothal gifts.
After asking, I found out that Su Jinxiu and Wang Jiu had already set a date.
Although she was a little surprised, she didn't object.
Wang Jiu seems to have a good temper. He has no father, no mother, and no worries.
Marrying Jinxiu also means marrying into their family.
Don’t worry about Jinxiu being bullied, life will be the same in the future.
Li Zhaodi exchanged a few words with Su Jinxiu and then went to prepare things for the wedding.
It's already June now, and I'm getting married on August 15th.
There is a lot to do!
Wang Jiu was called by Deng Damu to help, while Zhang Qiushui went to the drug store to grab anti-fetal medicine.
Su Jinxiu stayed alone in the restaurant, wondering about getting married.
Not long after, several government officials came to find her.
"Shopkeeper Su, someone found Li Mancang's body in the ruined temple.
I heard that this person is your uncle, Mr. Zhang, please come over and have a look."
When Su Jinxiu heard this, she stood up.
He was fine when he went to the funeral that day, but why did Li Mancang die in the blink of an eye?
She didn't say much, nodded and followed the yamen servant to the county yamen.
After seeing Li Mancang's body, Su Jinxiu frowned.
She had a guess in her mind that she would die in the same way as Su Dagui.
Magistrate Zhang sat in a high position and looked at Su Jinxiu.
"Shopkeeper Su, is this person your uncle?
The cause of his death was similar to that of your third uncle. After examination, it was found that he had been dead for more than three days.
Where were you before he died?
When was the last time I saw him?"
Su Jinxiu composed herself and stepped forward to salute.
"Sir, he is my uncle Li Mancang.
My maternal grandfather passed away a few days ago, and when my mother and I came to attend the funeral, he was still fine.
We then returned to the restaurant, and the government servant outside the restaurant could testify.
Later we went out to visit a ruined temple, but we were asked to help.
There are many people who destroyed the temple, and they can all testify.
We came back after helping out and didn't go anywhere else.
If you hadn't sent someone to find me, I wouldn't have known he was dead..."
Naturally, Magistrate Zhang had already sent someone to check before Su Jinxiu arrived.
Hearing what Su Jinxiu said was flawless, there was nothing he could do.
Before he could let Su Jinxiu leave, he saw the Yamen escorting a man in.
The man was so frightened that as soon as he entered the door, he poured the bamboo tube cleanly like beans.
"Sir, it's none of my business.
Li Mancang owed me money, I just gave him a portrait.
It is said that if you find the person in the portrait, you can get one hundred taels of silver.
After I finished the portrait, I left and had nothing to do with him anymore.
How he died, I don’t know..."
When County Magistrate Zhang heard this, his expression changed drastically and he did not care about Su Jinxiu's presence.
He suddenly stood up and ordered the yamen servant.
"Put the person in jail first and then withdraw..."
Seeing Magistrate Zhang's hurried back, Su Jinxiu frowned.
Looking for a portrait? What portrait?
Could it be that what prompted Mu Qingyu to take action was related to Ah Jiu?
——————————————
Magistrate Zhang left the county government office and went straight to Sun's mansion.
Still ignoring the notice, he broke into the study directly.
Sun Mingxing was no longer too lazy to talk to County Magistrate Zhang and ask him about his purpose.
"What happened? Is the regent missing?"
Magistrate Zhang shook his head and nodded again.
"As far as Master Sun is concerned, it's almost..."
After hearing Magistrate Zhang's words, Sun Mingxing frowned.
Finally, he slapped the table and stood up.
"We can't worry about so much, we have to march in danger..."
Before Magistrate Zhang could ask more questions, he heard someone shouting outside the window.
"Manager Chen?"
It was Lin Zhaozhao who spoke, and Sun Mingxing winked at County Magistrate Zhang.
He understood it immediately and quietly hid it behind the bookshelf.
Sun Mingxing walked out of the window and saw Lin Zhaozhao standing on the path below the window.
Probe your head and look forward.
"Ms. Lin is lost? There is no way ahead. Miss Lin, please go back the way you came."
Lin Zhaozhao frowned when he heard this.
"But I clearly saw..."
Before he could finish speaking, Sun Mingxing had already sent his maid to lead Lin Zhaozhao out.
She didn't mean to be troublesome, and after coming out of the garden, she was ready to go out to look for someone.
When I walked to the door, I saw Su Jinxiu talking to the concierge.
"Excuse me, Mr. Mu, please come out for a moment."
Just as the concierge was about to leave, he was stopped by Lin Zhaozhao.
"Wait a minute, where is Sun Mansion?
Who is Mr. Mu? Can cats and dogs be seen casually?
Su Jinxiu, why don't you pee and take photos?
With your appearance, can you still cling to Mr. Mu?"
Su Jinxiu came to Mu Qingyu to ask about Li Mancang, and looked at Lin Zhaozhao impatiently.
"Lin Zhaozhao, what you look like now.
It looks like a vicious dog protecting the food. Why, Miss Houfu doesn't want to do it.
Do you want to be the mistress of the Mu family? Don’t worry, I won’t compete with you.”
Lin Zhaozhao couldn't help but grit his teeth when Su Jinxiu called him a vicious dog.
"you……"
Before she could finish her words, Mu Qingyu had already pushed the wheelchair over.
"Ms. Lin, shopkeeper Su."
The real master was here, and Su Jinxiu didn't bother to tell Lin Zhaozhao.
"Mr. Mu, could you please take a step to talk?"
Just as Lin Zhaozhao was about to stop him, Mu Qingyu nodded without even looking at her.
Pushing the wheelchair, he followed Su Jinxiu out of the door.
Looking at the backs of the two of them, Lin Zhaozhao gritted his teeth.
When did Su Jinxiu hook up with Mu Qingyu? What was her purpose in hooking up with Mu Qingyu?
Is it possible that Su Jinxiu was reborn like her?
If this is the case, why didn't Su Jinxiu take precautions in advance?
Su Jinxiu and Mu Qingyu came to a quiet place in the back alley before she could speak.
Mu Qingyu rubbed her wrist and responded first.
"Yes, I did it."
Wang Jiu: "I just found someone to help me a little."
Mu Qingyu cursed and rubbed his broken hand.
"You used to be indifferent to people's affairs, but now you are no longer worthy of being a person."
