176 Jewelry smuggling
"You go."
Du Liangcai saw that the apologies from both sides were almost done. Regardless of whether they were sincere or not, at least the young master of the Lin family had given in. This was an excellent result. If his child could go back and try to calm him down, the matter would be over.
Shen Yuan took a step forward and looked up at Xiao Xingyun. She observed Xiao Xingyun's unstable expression.
"Young Master, I know you have a lot of doubts about me..."
Xiao Xingyun raised his eyebrows, and a solemn and commanding aura came over him, and soon disappeared from his face.
"...If nothing happens, I will bid farewell to the young master and lead my young master back to the house to pay his errands." Shen Yuan spoke with liveliness and left with ruthlessness.
"Wait." Xiao Xingyun stopped the person.
Although the light green dress is not elegant, it makes Shen Yuan's small face crystal clear.
She stood outside the door with big watery eyes, looking dazed, then tilted her head and said in a calm tone: "Is something wrong?"
Zhu Youjiu and Du Liangcai also waited silently for his next words.
"You just said that we would like to invite you to dinner on another day. Which day is it specifically?" Xiao Xingyun raised his eyebrows, "Miss Shen, it's better to choose a different day than to hit the sun."
Shen Yuan was not used to him calling her Miss Shen now. Although she used to look forward to receiving such an honorific title from him, when he really called her, she felt as if they were separated by several galaxies.
Shen Yuan couldn't refuse and was about to say something.
Xiao Xingyun seemed to have guessed her thoughts and glanced sideways at the child behind her, "I don't want him, I just want you."
Lin Shaoyu's face turned dark instantly, but when Shen Yuan looked over.
He quickly returned to his original state, well-behaved and understanding.
He looked at Shen Yuan and said, "Sister Yuan, go ahead. Shao Yu is sitting outside waiting for you."
Shen Yuan smiled and touched his little head.
Xiao Xingyun's eyes fell on his head and dimmed.
Uncle Du led the two of them into a side room, where wine and food had already been placed.
Xiao Xingyun closed the door before slowly walking towards her.
Shen Yuan's sight was on Xiao Xingyun who was gradually approaching. With every step of his long legs, the hem of his robe was slightly lifted until Xiao Xingyun sat down opposite her.
Shen Yuan plucked the vegetables in the bowl and looked unhappy: "Young Master, I don't seem to have offended you. You don't want to kill me, do you?"
Xiao Xingyun curled his lips and looked at her sideways with interest: "Long time no see, your temper has become irritable."
Shen Yuan took a sip of water and said nothing.
"I passed by here and didn't expect to see you." Xiao Xingyun looked at her, "I will be returning to the Governor's Mansion in a few days. I have a lot of things waiting for me in the Governor's Mansion, so I don't have time to see you."
Shen Yuan heard another meaning from his ordinary words: If you want to find me, come to the Governor's Mansion.
He was wearing plain dark clothes with a white collar today. It was the autumn season, but because of his outstanding features, the whole room was filled with spring.
He stroked his chin and said, "There is one more thing I want to ask you."
Shen Yuan was waiting for his business.
Xiao Xingyun took a sip of water and said, "Mr. Lin is in the house. Is there anyone you trust?"
Shen Yuan looked at him with stunned eyes: "I'm not your craftsman, why should I tell you this?"
Xiao Xingyun looked very serious: "What if I say that he is related to incense smuggling?"
Incense smuggling? Shen Yuan's heart suddenly trembled
.
She was surprised for a moment, but then she recovered, thought about it, and said, "No, Mr. Lin has only been back in Tanzhou for a short time, and he is not close to the people in the mansion. Why do you ask?"
"I just walked around his yard. I didn't find anything. Come and ask."
After saying that, Xiao Xingyun stared at Shen Yuan intently, waiting for the look on her face.
Shen Yuan smiled unnaturally.
After catching a glimpse of Shen Yuan's expression, the room fell silent for a moment.
For a moment, Shen Yuan could feel the biting chill coming from Xiao Xingyun's body. But the dangerous atmosphere only lasted for a moment, and Xiao Xingyun soon started laughing. When he smiled, he was as graceful as jade, but his long eyes could not hide the sharp edge.
"Do you know its whereabouts?"
Shen Yuan said resolutely: "No."
"Lie." Xiao Xingyun stared into her eyes, "When I said I was looking for something, why didn't you ask what I was looking for? People's first reaction is the most true. Well, so - you know what I am looking for?"
"Young Master said before that he couldn't see through my thoughts," Shen Yuan smiled bitterly, "but I actually can't hide anything."
Xiao Xingyun spread his hands: "I can't help it. Miss Shen always doesn't want to hide when she faces me. It's hard not to know."
Shen Yuan smiled: "Just now in the yard, the young master still doubted me. The look in his eyes almost had the words "You are a meticulous craftsman" carved on his forehead."
Shen Yuan raised her head, "Do you believe me now?"
Xiao Xingyun raised his eyebrows and smiled: "If you think about it carefully, Miss Shen has indeed not lied to me about anything, not even about her feelings."
Shen Yuan looked at him and couldn't understand what it meant. He didn't know what to say. The situation suddenly became a bit awkward.
"Since the things are at your place," Xiao Xingyun thought for a while, "then continue to put them at your place. It will make me feel more at ease than putting them in an unknown place."
"You are really big-hearted now." Shen Yuan curled her lips, "Did I block all your lotus pods? You dare to keep something as valuable as the jade hibiscus from Southern Xinjiang on me?"
Xiao Xingyun said unhurriedly: "Compared with this, I am more afraid that you will change hands and go to the palace with Qingfeng Xueyue Hairpin to recognize your marriage, ruining my plan."
"I also know your plan. Do you want Rouge to pretend to be Zhao Changan and become your internal counterpart in the palace? You even started preparing for this game a few years ago." She smiled faintly, "Just However, it’s a pity that there is something very annoying in my hand, and you are troubled by it?”
Xiao Xingyun was not angry at all, but smiled. He seemed not to have expected that Shen Yuan would think like this.
"I know that this Qingfengxueyue hairpin is not yours." Xiao Xingyun did not answer her question directly. Instead, he found another way and talked about seemingly unrelated things.
Shen Yuan looked at him in surprise. She didn't expect that he would say this. What she didn't expect was that he actually knew the origin of the Qingfeng Xueyue Hairpin? Shen Yuan couldn't believe it. However, she couldn't read his heart at all. It was impossible to even verify it.
Shen Yuan covered up the panic on her face, glanced at him, and said: "Why, why is it not mine? The young master thinks that a person with no money and power like me cannot have such a valuable thing. ?"
Xiao Xingyun said calmly: "Then tell me, where did you get it?"
Shen Yuan now
Even more at a loss, she stammered: "That's right, that's right..."
Suddenly she realized that Xiao Xingyun might be setting a trap for her, so she immediately shut up and asked, "But how did I get it, why do I need to tell you?"
Xiao Xingyun hit the nail on the head: "You don't know its origin, so let me tell you that the incense smuggling is just a gimmick. In fact, the essence of this case in which Old Man Lin, including Song Yuanshen, Cui'er, and Pang Wanli were inexplicably involved should be called - —Jewelry smuggling.”
Du Liangcai saw that the apologies from both sides were almost done. Regardless of whether they were sincere or not, at least the young master of the Lin family had given in. This was an excellent result. If his child could go back and try to calm him down, the matter would be over.
