Warm fragrance cloud around

The not-so-full moon hung high above their heads, and the two stood there for a long time, so long that Lin Junnuan almost wondered if he had fallen asleep, Cheng Jiangyun raised his head and looked straight at her.

Under the bright moonlight, the man's face was slightly hazy, but his deep pupils were extremely clear. There was confusion in those eyes, pleading, and some emotions that Lin Junnuan couldn't understand.

Stared at by such eyes, Lin Junnuan couldn't help being silent with all the questions in his heart, and finally had to sigh, and said softly: "I don't know anything, let's just talk about the case."

After all, it was just someone else's past, and there was no room for her to intervene.

Cheng Jiangyun still stood silently, watched silently, and finally nodded invisibly, his voice was so low that it was almost indistinguishable.

"Let's go into the mansion and discuss in detail."

Today's Jianyuanhou's mansion was bestowed by the first emperor in accordance with the highest regulations of the Marquis. Needless to say, it is magnificent, and the stone lions beside the main entrance look quite extraordinary.When Cheng Jiangyun entered the door, the servants who were still playing around immediately bowed their heads and stood still, with expressions of reverence and awe on their faces, but they didn't even dare to vent their breath. They glanced curiously at Lin Junnuan who was following him. Eye.

To Lin Junnuan's surprise, although Cheng Jiangyun is the eldest son of the Hou Mansion, he lives in a very remote courtyard in the northwest corner of the Hou Mansion. Except for two guards with expressionless faces outside the courtyard, there are not even any waiters in the courtyard. If he hadn't met many busy maids and women on the way here, Lin Junnuan might have suspected that he had entered a fake Marquis's mansion.

No wonder there were rumors that Lord Hou was trying to change his son. Seeing this scene, anyone would feel suspicious.

However, although the courtyard is remote, it doesn't look cramped, and it is also very carefully decorated. There is even a clear and shallow pond in the courtyard, as well as jagged rockeries stacked next to it, which is quiet and picturesque under the moonlight.

Before Lin Junnuan had time to look at the beautiful scenery, her stomach let out a few disappointing growls—she had been squatting outside the house to block Cheng Shaoqing all afternoon and night, and she was almost dizzy from hunger at this time.

"Uh...do you have something to eat?"

Cheng Jiangyun whispered a few words to a guard, and the guard took the order to leave quickly. After a while, he brought back a large three-layer carved food box. According to Cheng Jiangyun's instructions, he took out the dishes in the food box and placed them in the yard. stone table.

Although this man was a guard who could fight and resist, he did not disobey in the slightest when he put the dishes on the plate, and there was even a sense of flowing water in his gestures, which was just a little exaggerated.Lin Junnuan sullenly pretended to be casually approaching: "This... big brother has worked hard, I don't know how to call him?"

The guard looked at her, then at Cheng Jiangyun, lowered his head expressionlessly and continued to arrange the dishes, and continued his reticence to the end. After finishing the arrangement, he saluted Cheng Jiangyun, returned to his post, and stood upright.

Cheng Jiangyun glanced lightly at the table, the corners of his mouth froze for a moment, and then said calmly: "Eat."

Only then did Lin Junnuan shift his mind from the guards to the food. After seeing the dishes on the stone table, his eyelids couldn't help but twitch.The guard's preparation can be said to be quite thoughtful. There are more than a dozen large and small plates, cold dishes, soups, soups, wine and small dishes. There is even sake in the wine glasses on the table.But she clearly just wants to eat a few bites of pastries to fill her stomach!

Little did they know that a certain guard standing outside the gate with his head held high was thinking in his heart that it was rare for the master to bring a guest into the mansion once in a few years.

"Do you eat so... extravagantly every day?" Lin Junnuan glanced at Cheng Jiangyun pointedly.

Cheng Jiangyun's expression was slightly unnatural: "Today was an accident."

"Where are your maids and servants?"

"There are other arrangements for watching chess, not in the mansion. There is no maid."

Hey, I didn't expect her to be clean and self-sufficient, Lin Junnuan raised her eyebrows slightly, sat sideways on the stone bench, drank two mouthfuls of white jade tofu soup, and then continued the previous topic.

"Mo Shubai pleaded guilty?"

Cheng Jiangyun nodded slightly.

"I always find it very strange. According to the shopkeeper of Danqing Pavilion, he only entered Beijing two years ago. Why did he have anything to do with the four deceased? Let's not talk about it. What kind of hatred is there that will make him kill people?"

Cheng Jiangyun was silent for a while, then said in a muffled voice: "He is originally from the capital, he left Beijing ten years ago, and only returned to Beijing two years ago."

Lin Junnuan blinked and realized that he was referring to Mo Shubai here. In this way, the two of them had known each other at least ten years ago, but why did they both pretend they didn't know each other when they met in Danqing Pavilion? Woolen cloth?

Thinking of this, her eyes couldn't help showing a hint of ambiguity, "Can I ask, what is the relationship between you and Mo Shubai?"

Cheng Jiangyun didn't look at her, and didn't answer, his profile was hidden in the night, and his expression couldn't be discerned.

Well, she was talking too much, Lin Junnuan changed the subject tactfully: "Even so, Xu Qinglian was only a five or six-year-old child ten years ago, what could he have to do with Mo Shubai to kill someone? "

After a long time, I heard the people around me whisper: "He used to be my brother-in-law."

Lin Junnuan was startled, realizing that this was answering her last question, but brother-in-law?Didn't Cheng Jiangyun's sister... passed away ten years ago, so Mo Shubai is his first sister's fiancé?

"Not long after the two got engaged ten years ago, my sister passed away suddenly, and the engagement was naturally cancelled. After that, he also disappeared from the capital. I didn't know that he had returned to the capital until I saw you again in Danqing Pavilion a few days ago."

Cheng Jiangyun's voice was soft and deep, but it was exceptionally clear in the still night. Lin Junnuan turned his head slightly, met his gaze, and quickly moved away.It didn't seem like an easy story, and she wasn't sure if she should keep hearing it.

Fortunately, Cheng Jiangyun didn't intend to say too much, and soon began to ask his questions.

"How did you know Hua Niang's unusual behavior on the night of the full moon?"

Lin Junnuan took a bite of the crystal shrimp, and said vaguely: "A friend overheard it. He knows a lot of people, and he has a good relationship with those gangsters."

"I didn't expect you to have such a friend." Cheng Jiangyun gave her a suspicious look, "What else did your friend hear?"

Lin Junnuan wiped the corners of his mouth with his fingers unsightly, and said with a slight smile: "He also heard about the origin of Huaniang's money, which was given to her by a generous benefactor."

"anything else?"

"That's all, nothing else."

After eating a few more mouthfuls of auspicious ruyi rolls, Lin Junnuan patted his stomach in satisfaction. Seeing the thoughtful expression of the people around him, he nudged him lightly with his elbow: "How is it? Did you find anything?"

Cheng Jiangyun's eyelids moved slightly, and he turned sideways to look directly into her eyes, his eyes were full of heavyness: "Ten years ago, my sister was killed on the night of the full moon."

At this moment, Lin Junnuan realized a lot, opened his mouth to say something, but found that he had nothing to say, so he picked up the wine glass in front of him and took a sip.

The wine in the glass has a refreshing taste and a mellow aftertaste. It must be a good wine. When he was about to drink it up, Cheng Jiangyun stopped him quickly: "Drinking is a mistake, Mr. Lin should drink less."

"Oh, man, what are you doing with such a mother-in-law!" Lin Junnuan pushed his arm away in disgust, swallowed a full glass of wine without thinking, coughed twice due to the smell of alcohol, and when he regained his breath , her cheeks were already flushed, and her eyes began to show a little blur.

"Good wine! Cheng Shaoqing, drink it too!"

A glass of wine was still in his throat, Lin Junnuan said a few polite words, and then he hugged the bottle and began to drink for himself with a happy expression.

Maybe it was to avoid the heavy topic at the moment, maybe it was because the moonlight was too beautiful, for some reason, she suddenly wanted to get drunk.

Seeing that Lin Junnuan's movements became more and more bold and unrestrained, Cheng Jiangyun couldn't stop him, so he had to ask the guards to step back and avoid him, and he came to greet this troublesome guest himself.

"Don't patronize drinking, eat more or less."

Cheng Jiangyun picked up a Sixi meatball and put it in Lin Junnuan's bowl. Seeing that she was still not moving her chopsticks, she simply grabbed the wine bottle and glass and stuffed the meatball into her mouth.

At this time, Lin Junnuan had unknowingly drunk almost half a bottle of wine, and his rationality had long been wandering. He stupidly swallowed the meatball without chewing it, and immediately choked up tears, Cheng Jiangyun couldn't help it He patted her neck desperately so that she wouldn't choke herself to death.

If someone saw this scene, they would never have imagined that this person would be the eldest lady of the uncle's mansion. She looked like a rude and drunk man, and she didn't look like a lady.

Cheng Jiangyun slandered a few words inwardly, slapped away her paw that was about to reach for the wine glass again, and sighed deeply, not knowing whether to laugh or be angry.

He should be the person who is preoccupied tonight, so why is this person drinking away his worries?

Following her example, he drank a cup for himself, and watched her sitting on the chair with eyes blindfolded and shaking her head, but the wry smile at the corner of Cheng Jiangyun's mouth gradually widened and deepened, and finally even burst out laughing.

"What are you laughing at?" The "boy" next to him gave him a dissatisfied sideways glance. He was obviously drunk, but he uttered words clearly. Between the opening and closing of his lips and teeth, there was a warm breath touching his neck.

"Laugh...laugh at myself." Cheng Jiangyun slightly moved his body outward, trying to avoid her breath.

Lin Junnuan pouted slightly: "Hmph, liar, I know you... hiccup... are laughing at me!"

She snatched the wine bottle and took a big gulp, and said to herself: "You don't need to tell me, I...know that I hiccup...it's ridiculous, self-contradictory, self-deceiving." She leaned closer Cheng Jiangyun, his lips almost pressed against his ears, said mysteriously: "Tell... hiccup...you a secret, actually... actually, I... I'm not..."

But he didn't say any more, Cheng Jiangyun waited for a long while with his neck stiff, only to find that she was breathing evenly against him and snoring.

Thinking of An Shi's description of Lin Junnuan's drunkenness that he accidentally overheard at the beginning, Cheng Jiangyun couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief. She fell asleep peacefully so soon, and her wine quality didn't seem to be that bad.

But soon, his three views were almost subverted.

At most, Lin Junnuan slept peacefully for a quarter of an hour, and then began to mess around, going up to the roof to look at the stars, going into the water to fish for the moon, pretending to be singing strange little songs, and crying Going home to find his parents, he was really tormented. He couldn't imagine that an elegant and dignified person would have such an amazing transformation after being drunk. In the end, he couldn't resist, so he had to find a thick hemp rope and tie her to the bed. On the bedpost in the guest room, I went back to my room and slept quietly for two hours.

What men and women are fighting against each other, what loves women, what pains from the past are all floating clouds, before falling asleep, the exhausted Cheng Jiangyun thought viciously that she would not be allowed to drink again after being killed.

But he didn't notice that he used the word "later" so naturally.

The author has something to say:

Miss Lin's attitude towards life after time travel is a bit similar to "a leaf among a hundred flowers does not touch her body". In the past tense, she began to withdraw.
