Frost shines on Qingcheng

"Someone? Who is this 'someone'?" Shen Wanrong only thought that Shen Shuangzhao was fooling her by saying this.

Shen Shuang frowned, and said: "Three years ago, on the night when the murder in the Li family drug store happened, master, do you still remember that there was a family named Jing in Shanshui Lane?"

"I seem to have some impression." Seeing that she didn't seem to be talking nonsense, Shen Wanrong's tone eased.

"The daughter of that family disappeared that night." Shen Shuangzhao said, "The next day, I followed Master Zhang to investigate the case at Li's pharmacy, and then followed the clues to visit Jing's house, and learned about Jing Zheng's disappearance and the murder at the pharmacy. Related. For three years in a row, I often went to Shanshui Lane to inquire about the situation, but there was no whereabouts of Jingzheng."

Shen Wanrong cast her gaze to the morning sun that was dyed red by the morning sun outside the door, her expression was calm and unwavering: "You mean that Jing Zheng, who has been missing for three years and has not heard from her, suddenly came back last night?"

"Yes..." Shen Shuangzhao replied lightly.What she said was true, but only she knew why she slipped out of the city last night.

Shen Wanrong turned around again and looked down at her: "Get up first, Sang Yu and Mengxuan will also get up."

Shen Shuangzhao's heart was beating violently, it seemed strange that Master believed her too easily.

Just as she was thinking, what Shen Wanrong said next broke her worry: "So, you spent most of last night at Jing's house?"

"..." This question is difficult to answer. If you say "yes", the master will definitely ask her what she said and did in the Jing family. In this way, if the master summons people from the Jing family, her lies will definitely After being exposed, she thought again and again, and she replied, "I went out late last night, my knees were numb, and it was dark. I accidentally fell hard on the street in the outer city. Master, look, my knee It was rubbed and torn." She rolled up her trouser legs, revealing her bruised and torn knees.She's telling the truth.

Shen Wanrong looked at her knees and felt very distressed, but she was still angry with her in her heart. Under the contradiction between the two, she only frowned and did not say anything.

Shen Shuang looked at his words and took the opportunity to say: "I was depressed after I fell. There were no people on the street at night, and I felt disappointed and wronged. I was also afraid that Master would find out that I would hurt the two senior sisters, so I turned back before I reached Jing's house." .On the way home, I also met a strange old man. If Master doesn’t believe it, you can go and investigate.”

After she finished speaking, the meditation hall became dead silent.Everyone present felt that something was wrong with Shen Shuangzhao. Normally, even if she made a mistake, she would just admit it frankly and rarely defend herself; but today she explained so much by herself, there was something strange that could not be described.

Seeing that no one was talking, Shen Shuangzhao clenched her hand hanging by her side into a fist.Will Master believe it?

"Xueqing, go to Shanshui Lane and bring Jing Zheng here." Shen Wanrong narrowed her eyes and watched Shen Shuang, who bowed her head, for a long time, and at the end, she only said this sentence.

Sang Yu raised one corner of her lips, watching a good show.

-------------------------------------------------- ------

"Minister Jing Zheng sees the city lord." Jing Zheng sneaked a glance at Shen Shuangzhao before stepping into the meditation hall.

"Get up." Shen Wanrong had already sat down, "I heard that you came back last night, I'm really curious about where you have been for the past three years since you disappeared, and how you returned to the city last night."

Jing Zheng looked calm, and said: "I just remember that on the night of the Lantern Festival three years ago, I came home from the street. As soon as I got home, I heard someone knocking on the door asking for water. Then I opened the door and was blocked by two people." The face of the woman held hostage."

"What about after that?" Shen Wanrong fiddled with the teapot on the table, looking a little careless.

"I don't remember anything after that. I woke up from a small boat at dusk yesterday, my mind was in a daze, and my memory only stayed on that night. After I got off the boat, I found out after several inquiries Years." Jing Zheng frowned tightly, that look of earnestly remembering and being troubled by memories made Shen Shuangzhao almost believe that things were exactly as she said.

Shen Wanrong put down the teapot and smiled lightly, she seemed no stranger to such an answer: "You went home after that, didn't you?"

"Yes……"

"Okay, since that's the case, I don't want to ask too much. You disappeared, and our people haven't found you for three years. After all, it's our negligence. As for how you disappeared and where you went during the time you disappeared, And who did it, let the people in the government office investigate these matters. I believe that the truth will come to light soon. By then, no one involved in this case or the murder at the pharmacy will be able to escape. I don't know who the last sentence was for, but Shen Shuangzhao's heart trembled, "You go back. Since you lost your memory, someone must have drugged you. I asked the doctor in the inner city to You see, don't fall into any sequelae."

"Jing Zheng thanked the city lord."

"Master, there are obviously a lot of doubts about this matter, how can you just let it go?" Sang Yu couldn't stand it anymore, there were so many doubts in it, how could she just let it go?

Shen Wanrong said: "I said before, I will have someone investigate this matter, this time I will definitely give someone an explanation. You are so excited, but are you doubting my words?"

"No, I just..." Sang Yu wanted to say something else.

"Enough!" Shen Wanrong interrupted her, she was tired enough and didn't want to argue with others, "This is the end of the matter for the time being. You three should go back and rest, you should be tired after staying up all night." After finishing speaking, she He glanced at Shen Shuangzhao with complicated eyes, his heart was full of emotions but finally returned to calm.

After Shen Wanrong left, Sang Yu walked up to Jing Zheng and said sternly, "You must be lying."

Jing Zheng avoided her sight: "I don't need to hide it."

Sang Yu turned her head to look at Shen Shuangzhao again, her gaze was full of inquiry: "You two..." She hesitated to speak, and left with a flick of her sleeves.

After Tang Mengxuan hurriedly said "Don't listen to her" to Shen Shuangzhao, she went up to chase Sang Yu.

Jing Zheng and Shen Shuangzhao were the only two left in the Jingxin Hall. Jing Zheng said: "It seems that Miss Shen is not doing well in the inner city. I don't know how many... I wonder if Miss Lu knows."

Shen Shuangzhao curled her lips and smiled veiledly: "Why should I let her know if I'm doing well?"

Jing Zheng also smiled, and took out a small bottle of medicine from her body: "If you are having a bad time, Miss Lu will be sad if she knows." She stuffed the medicine bottle into Shen Shuangzhao's hand, "Here. She asked me to tell you, You need to protect your knees, otherwise you will be broken if you fall to the ground every day."

Shen Shuang stared at the bottle of medicine in her hand in a trance, her heart was warm, the warmth almost melted away.

---------------------------------------------------------

The morning sun was just rising, and the faint light reflected Lu Qingrong's facial features, that face seemed a little outrageously beautiful.

"Miss, you haven't closed your eyes all night, I'm worried about your body if this continues." Huan Hong brought some breakfast and put it on the stone table.

Lu Qingrong withdrew her arms from the railing, she looked a little tired without the sunlight.

"Don't sleep, I have to go to Qingcheng in a while. The work over there is not finished yet." Lu Qingrong sat down on the stone bench.

Huan Hong was very worried: "It's not that Qingcheng has to go, how about you rest here for a few days?"

Lu Qingrong picked up the chopsticks, but she had no appetite: "Qingcheng has to go. My father's business with me is still pending. Besides... Huanhong, you know that besides this, I have more difficult things to do." Things need to be resolved."

"Why are you bothering? What's so good about Shen Shuangzhao that it's worth making you do this for her? What about her? What has she done for you?" To be honest, Huan Hong was extremely opposed to the emotional entanglement between Lu Qingrong and Shen Shuangzhao at first. , It's just that she can't do anything about it.She really wanted to kill Shen Shuangzhao with one blow, but if her feelings could be stopped so easily, Lu Qingrong wouldn't have suffered so much.

"You don't understand." Lu Qingrong's eyes were deep, love has nothing to do with how good that person is.When the hearts are matched and the fate is reached, the person will rush forward wholeheartedly, no matter what that person can do for himself.

Huan Hong was helpless: "Okay, okay, I don't understand." If she doesn't listen to persuasion, what else can she do?But - ever since she fell in love with Shen Shuangzhao, her young lady's temper has become much milder.Moreover, now she doesn't even wear a veil in front of her. It seems that the young lady has taken a lot of things away.

"What have you been looking at me for?" Lu Qingrong raised her eyes and looked at Huan Hong who was in a daze, "We are going to Qingcheng in a while, why don't you prepare?"

"Yes yes yes..." Huan Hong came back to her senses, agreed again and again, and started to go downstairs.

"Wait a minute—" Lu Qingrong remembered something again, and hurriedly called her, "Ziqin is back?"

"I'm back. I said I was very hungry. I should eat downstairs now."

Lu Qingrong looked at the porridge in the bowl and frowned: "If he finishes eating, let him come up to see me."

"Okay." Huan Hong replied.

After a while—

"Did Shen Shuang go back?" Lu Qingrong put down her chopsticks, wiped her mouth with a handkerchief and put on her veil.

Ziqin is younger than Lu Qingrong, but he is tall and burly: "I went back, I watched Miss Shen enter the inner city with my own eyes."

Lu Qingrong secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and asked again: "Did something happen on the way?"

Ziqin thought for a while, Miss Shen also met two people on the road - the weird old man selling sugar and the annoying Zhang Shan, but would he have to report the truth to Lu Qingrong?

"Why this expression?" Lu Qingrong's sharp eyes were very penetrating.

Ziqin shook his head: "Miss Shen was taken aback when she met an old man selling sugar at the alley. Fortunately, the old man didn't mean anything, and Miss Shen is fine."

"What about the rest?"

"Where are the other people?" Ziqin smiled, "Who would come out for a walk in a hurry at night without going to sleep?" For the time being, don't tell the young master about Zhang Shan's cheeky pestering Miss Shen.He didn't forget that last time Miss Shen just said a few words to Zhang Shan, and the young master was so sullen.

Lu Qingrong was silent for a while, there was really no excuse to ask about Shen Shuangzhao again: "Go and urge Huanhong, we are going back to Qingcheng soon."

"So fast?" Ziqin was shocked, "I thought the young master would stay here for a few more days."

Lu Qingrong looked at him amusedly: "Tell me, why do I let you have such a 'thinking'?"

Ziqin smiled awkwardly, and it took him a long time to say: "Didn't the young master say... that he wanted to seduce Miss Shen?"

Lu Qingrong pursed her lips, and a smile spread from the corner of her mouth to her eyes: "Now, I'm afraid she is trying to lure me, lure me..."
