Forced to be a third person: I turned around and left the palace to marry a villain

Lu Qiongshuang's pick-up skills were obviously very strong. After a while, the owner of the noodle stall started talking to her with a smile on her face without warning. When Jiang Xue saw her turning back and giving him a look, she put down the tea in her hand and walked towards the two of them. walk over.

Jiang Xue asked Lu Qiongshuang directly in front of the boss: "Sister, how are you? Can I ask clearly?"

Lu Qiong Shuang understood, and she made a look of regret, and said to Jiang Xue: "Sister, did our fifth aunt forget something? I asked this kind eldest brother, and she said that she had never seen anyone before, and she had never been in this courtyard. I have dealt with the people inside."

The noodle stall owner nodded repeatedly and said: "Yes, ladies, this yard was originally vacant, and a family just moved in last year, but it doesn't look like the relatives you are looking for who have lived in the capital for a long time. Besides, this family never goes out, and I only vaguely saw a woman and a child living inside, so it doesn’t look like there’s a head of the household.”

Jiang Xue said distressedly: "Ah, what should I do?"

She glanced at Lu Qiongshuang, who understood immediately and took over the words: "Yes, we originally sold the crops in the field and came to the capital with only a little bit of trouble, in order to fulfill the last wish of our old father at home. We found our third uncle's family and recognized our relatives. We heard from our aunt that she had sent letters to my uncle's family in the early years. It was right here, the small courtyard by the stream at the end of Lin'an Street - it wasn't this courtyard. .”

The owner of the noodle stall carefully cut the rolled noodles into pieces and put them into the pot while shaking his head and saying: "Little lady, I just told you that this yard was originally deserted. I put ten pieces of it here." The noodle stall next year is really a family that moved in last year. Besides, the uncle you mentioned - I really haven't seen any men in this family, oh! There is an old man!"

Jiang Xue hurriedly asked: "Old man? Could he be our uncle whom we haven't seen for many years?"

The noodle stall owner shook his head and said: "I'm definitely not the head of this household. He only came here once every four or five days and left after a short time. He seemed to be a guy who delivered food and supplies to this family. How could he be the head of this household?" Staying up day and night?"

Jiang Xue sighed, looked at each other with Lu Qiong, and said with a very sad expression: "We have searched all the way here after all. Could it be that our uncle thought that the farmers were poor and did not want to know us again, so he hid his head and tail for fear that we would find him?" come over?"

When the noodle stall owner heard this, he paused holding the noodle soup in his hand, frowned and said, "Is there such a thing? If that's really the case, wouldn't it be so unhuman!"

Jiang Xue stretched out her hand and pinched her thigh, and tears fell down her face. She remembered the makeup on her face and quickly turned her head to wipe it away.

In the eyes of the noodle stall owner, he looked like he was hiding his face and crying.

He put down the big spoon in his hand, said "Hey" and "Hey" to Jiang Xue, and said: "Don't be sad, little lady. Why don't you come to my place and wait for the old man for the past few days, and then you can take a look." Yes or no?"

Jiang Xue shook her head and said: "We have been looking all the way here, and we have almost used up all the money. I thought we would have a place to stay when we arrived, but unexpectedly we couldn't find anyone, so I took my sister to find a place. Work, otherwise I really don’t know which street I will end up living on tonight.”

She suddenly looked at the noodle stall owner as if asking for help, and said: "Kind brother, could you please help me to ask the old man a few words if I meet him in the next few days?"

Seeing how pitiful she was, the boss hurriedly said: "This is not a problem. Anyway, I am here to make a living every day. Tell me, what do you want me to ask you?"

"We are two sisters, our surname is Gu," Jiang Xue's eyes were filled with tears, but her words were extremely clear, "I remember hearing my father talk about it when I was a child, what is my aunt's name...what creek?"

Lu Qiongshuang understood and mentioned: "But Su Xi?"

Jiang Xue nodded repeatedly and said: "Exactly! Brother, please help me ask if you see a man who often comes to that house. Is it from the Gu family, but his wife is called Su Xi? If so, he is really my uncle. That’s right.”

The noodle stall owner nodded, trying hard to remember the name she said, and then sighed and said: "You two little ladies, it's really not easy to travel thousands of miles. Sit down quickly, and I'll prepare the noodles for you." Okay, I'll carry it over there for you."

Lu Qiong stretched out his hand to take out the money to pay the bill. The boss said hurriedly: "You don't have much money to pay, so keep it for use. These two bowls of noodle soup will be treated as big brother's treat to you. This Hebei capital is very prosperous. As long as you With arms and legs, I will definitely not starve to death in the future.”

The two were stunned, looked at each other, and hurriedly thanked the stall owner.

Jiang Xue whispered to Lu Qiongshuang not to leave anything behind. For them, this bowl of noodle soup was a huge gift from the warm-hearted boss. The two of them ate a bowl of noodle soup in one gulp, and Jiang Xue carefully took some broken silver and pressed it on the bottom of the bowl, then quickly said goodbye to the boss.

Jiang Xue took Lu Qiongshuang and walked to a tree not far away. She glanced around a few times to make sure that no one on the street, including the boss, was looking at the two of them. Then she stood in a hidden place behind the tree. .

Lu Qiongshuang asked in confusion: "Cousin, what are you doing standing here?"

Jiang Xue smiled at her and said, "Wait a moment."

Sure enough, within a moment, a figure from nowhere fell from behind, stood in front of the two of them, and saluted Jiang Xue with clasped fists.

Jiang Xue said: "Chen Xiu, why are you alone? Where is Ruan Yisui?"

Chen Xiu raised his head and said to Jiang Xue: "Your Highness, Brother Ruan is still guarding at a high place."

Jiang Xue said: "In broad daylight, I dare not touch them at this time. Do you keep guarding like this during the day? You should find a place to rest."

Chen Xiu whispered: "Afraid of betraying His Highness's trust, it's better to be more vigilant. Besides, we are all in the army, so these efforts are not a big deal. Just now, the two of us noticed someone looking towards the yard, and we took a closer look before we recognized it. It was His Highness. Thinking that His Highness was here to understand the situation, Brother Ruan asked me to come over and look for His Highness."

Jiang Xue nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Tell me carefully, what was going on last night?"

Chen Xiu looked around and said to Jiang Xue: "This is not the place to talk. Please, Miss Biao, please bring His Highness's entourage."

The two followed Chen Xiu to a group of inconspicuous dilapidated houses outside the street. Chen Xiu opened the door of one of them and invited Jiang Xue and Lu Qiong in.

"There are many abandoned houses here. It seems that there were fires and murders many years ago, and they were all moved away over time. Brother Ruan used to guard Lin'an Street, and occasionally he would come here to rest during the day. "

After that, he presented an iron token to Jiang Xue.

Jiang Xue took the token, turned it over and over, and saw that the shape of a melted bird could only be seen on it. It was very crude and had no weight in his hand.

"What is this?" Jiang Xue asked.

"When I was chasing the two men in black last night, something fell from one of them and was picked up by me."

Jiang Xue nodded, seeming to have something in mind, and put the token away.

She solemnly said to Chen Xiu:

"You two will stay safe for the time being. I will have someone come and perform a good show with you in the past few days. After the show is over, you can go back home and rest for a few days."
