The affairs of the Tan family were dismissed for now. Xie Ping'an went back to catch up on his sleep. Bai Yue suddenly took something out of his pocket: "By the way, I have something for you."
Jian Yu took it and saw that it was a ruby ring.
"Did you buy it?" Jian Yu was puzzled: "I've never seen you wear it before. Do you like this style?"
Jian Yu looked at the finger and then at Bai Yue, feeling a little guilty.
Bai Yue explained: "I didn't buy it, I picked it up."
Before he could describe in detail how he picked up the thumb ring that day, Jian Yu suddenly said: "I was negligent in this matter."
Bai Yue was confused: "What's the matter?"
"I didn't buy you any gold and silver jewelry, rouge, gouache, or anything like that." Jian Yu said, "Although there are rows in each courtyard at home, you are a young girl and you don't have a dowry to supplement your health. With that little monthly money, you can buy some snacks on weekdays.
It’s okay, but clothes and jewelry are not enough.”
Unexpectedly, Jian Yu suddenly remembered this matter, Bai Yue said hurriedly: "No, no, I don't like those."
She basically came here empty-handed. It is not an exaggeration to say that she has nothing to live in. Now she lives in the Jian family, and her food and clothing are provided by the Jian family, and the standards are the same as those of the ladies in the house. If this is not enough,
, it’s really inappropriate to be picky.
But Jian Yu is a man, and he usually has a lot of things to do outside, so he never expected to be so meticulous. This suddenly came to mind, and he felt that he should do it immediately.
"Let's go." Jian Yu pulled Bai Yue's arm.
"Where are we going?" Bai Yue quickly followed him: "I haven't told you about this ruby ring yet."
"Let's talk as we walk." Jian Yu said, "I'll take you to buy some clothes and jewelry."
Bai Yue felt that this was really unnecessary, but Jian Yu felt that this was a must.
"I didn't think about it before, that's all. Now that I think about it, I shouldn't buy it." Jian Yu simply grabbed Bai Yue's arm and walked out: "Don't worry, in addition to my annual salary, I also have other income, so I won't give it to you."
You won’t have money for food after you buy the jewelry.”
"..." Bai Yue naturally knew that Jian Yu was rich, but she never really regarded Jian Yu as her fiancé, and she never thought about spending his money in addition to the necessary expenses for food, clothing, housing and transportation.
But if Bai Yue refused today, it would be an insult to Jian Yu, so she was forced out by Jian Yu.
The Dali Temple official in the distance was not clear about the situation, so he pulled Liang Meng and whispered: "Did your lord have a quarrel with Miss Bai?"
"No, there's nothing awkward about it." Liang Meng, the humanoid pickup truck that was about to transform, followed him swaying: "It's not that good, just talking and laughing, it's lively."
Although there is a case weighing on my head like a mountain, life still has to go by, and my fiancée still has to coax her. Besides, Bai Yue in Crow Valley has made a great contribution this time, which is a real life-saving grace. Watching her go to the painting
When she showed the map, everyone almost knelt down in front of her.
Bai Yue was dragged to the entrance of Dali Temple by Jian Yu. It looked awkward to drag him any longer. People passing by might have thought that there was another unjust case in Dali Temple. They were about to give in when they suddenly felt a chill.
Looking down, standing on the roadside was Liu Jieling's sister Liu Wenyi, who was looking at her angrily.
"Mo Yi." Jian Yu asked curiously: "Have you told her sister about Liu Jieling?"
Although the coffin was opened yesterday and it was proved that there was no Liu Jieling's body inside, the case was not closed because the coffin was strange. Not to mention that they came back so late yesterday that they could not go out of their way to tell Liu Wenyi.
"No." Jian Yu also saw Liu Wenyi standing at the bottom of the steps, glaring at them.
He is the minister of Dali Temple, a third-rank official, and Liu Wenyi is a commoner. If she dares to look at him like this, it is not a bad thing to say it is an offense.
What happened again? Jian Yu walked over quickly and saw Liu Wenyi's angry eyes falling on Bai Yue's hand. In her hand, she was holding the ruby ring she had picked up.
Jian Yu walked up to him, but before he could speak, he heard Liu Wenyi sneer: "They say Dali Temple is a fair place, but I actually believed it. I didn't expect Master Jian, like others, to be able to redress my grievances."
"
What do you mean by this? Jian Yu's face suddenly darkened.
"Liu Wenyi, please be careful what you say." Jian Yu said coldly: "I have promised to investigate the cause of your sister's death. When the investigation is clear, I will naturally give you an explanation. It has only been two days, and you only treat Dali Temple and me as
You don’t have to do anything besides the official work, I just do it for you alone, right?”
Jian Yu was angry. He was so powerful, so Bai Yue stepped aside.
As expected, Liu Wenyi worked in the inn. She had met many adults and was much more courageous than ordinary people. She was not frightened by Jian Yu's reprimand. Instead, she said: "A civilian woman dare not ask the adults to do things for me only, but
I beg you to treat everyone equally and have a clear conscience."
These words were even more strange. Jian Yu vaguely felt that something was wrong.
"Hey, please pay attention to what you say." Liang Meng couldn't help but said: "Our Lord always handles cases fairly. You are ruining your reputation by talking nonsense. Can you bear this responsibility?"
Liu Wenyi wanted to look at Bai Yue again: "Naturally, civilian women dare not say nonsense. If you are really open-minded, you dare to tell me where the ruby ring in this girl's hand came from."
"This?" Bai Yue raised the ring in his hand, surprised.
Liu Wenyi's face was full of disdain.
"I picked this up." Bai Yue said calmly.
"Picked it up?" Liu Wenyi sneered: "Where can I pick up such a valuable thing? Tell me, girl, and I will pick one up too."
Liu Wenyi became sarcastic. When Bai Yue heard what she meant, she clearly felt that Jian Yu had received benefits from Tan Mintian, so he was showing favoritism. But just because she had a ring in her hand, she suspected that she had received benefits. Such thinking was divergent.
It's probably too much.
With a thought in his heart, Bai Yue said, "Do you know this ruby ring?"
"It's no coincidence, I happen to know this ring." Liu Wenyi said seriously: "What's even more coincidental is that this ring belongs to the Tan family. It was worn by my sister before she was alive. I saw it before when I went to the Tan family to look for her.
"
"Is this ruby ring your sister's?" Bai Yue was really surprised. He handed over the ring in his hand: "Look carefully again to make sure you don't make a mistake."
Liu Wenyi really took the ring, looked over it carefully, and said firmly: "You can't go wrong. The pattern on this ring is very unique. It was designed by Ling'er herself. There is only one like this in the capital. And this ruby.
, I remember very clearly, this is her finger ring."
Liu Wenyi looked very contemptuous and said she would be fair. But in the end, she accepted the gift from the Tan family and said she picked it up, which was simply ridiculous.
"Yue'er." Jian Yu said at this moment: "You didn't even finish what you said just now. Where did you pick up this thumb ring?"
