Frost shines on Qingcheng

"Temptation..." Ziqin Guang felt his face beating hotly after hearing these two words, and he shrank his head and dared not look at Lu Qingrong.

Lu Qingrong squinted at him and said, "Do you have any doubts?"

Only then did Ziqin look up at Lu Qingrong, and he was very humble: "When I first met Miss Shen, my subordinates only thought she was cold and quiet, and she didn't care about others. After getting in touch with her, I found that she was an extremely shy and simple person. Girl, from what I see...she doesn't seem like someone who would actively seduce others."

Lu Qingrong snorted and still had a smile in her eyes, but the smile was cold: "Oh? Then based on what you have seen, what is the truth now?"

This was Lu Qingrong's most obvious displeasure, and Ziqin pursed his lips tightly, not daring to utter a word.

"You tell the truth, and I will never take my anger out on you." Lu Qingrong played with her long hair on her shoulders with her fingers, her voice was cool.

"..." Ziqin hesitated again and again, but he couldn't hold back the truth in his heart after all, "The young master seduced Miss Shen very successfully, and even a reserved person like Miss Shen fell in love with you." From Zhang Shan's dialogue, Shen Shuangzhao clearly fell in love with the young master completely.

The implication is that Lu Qingrong has always seduced Shen Shuangzhao, and Shen Shuangzhao has no intention of seducing at all.

"So what? For me, as long as she appears in front of me, it is a kind of temptation." Lu Qingrong's eyes turned to the distance, and there was a moment of air defense.

Ziqin is unpredictable. To be honest, he doesn't really understand the relationship between Lu Qingrong and Shen Shuangzhao: "How do you say that? For Miss Shen, I want to know what kind of purpose the young master has? To use it or..." Really love?

Lu Qingrong withdrew her gaze and turned to look at him. She wanted to speak a few times, but gave up several times. Finally, she just said softly: "Go down, and leave for Qingcheng in a while."

"Yes..." Ziqin didn't want to ask too much. Although there was a trace of unresolved depression in his heart, he suppressed it after all.The young master seems to be in a bad mood recently, although he is smiling, he can always feel some sadness from it.I don't know if this sadness is because of Miss Shen, or because of other things?

After Ziqin left, Lu Qingrong was alone in a daze at the rolling river outside the pavilion.She seems to have a little understanding of her father's obsession, some things and some emotions are more difficult to control with reason.

Jing Zheng was about to leave after delivering the medicine, but Shen Shuangzhao thought of something while pinching the medicine bottle, and hurriedly said, "Jing Zheng!"

Jing Zheng turned her head sideways when she heard the words: "What else is Miss Shen doing?"

Shen Shuang said: "Since Cai'er came to Shuilan City with you, is she staying at your house temporarily?" Last night her focus was on Lu Qingrong, and she was entangled in various things. Until now, she didn't think of Cai'er. Come on.Cai'er is young and pure by nature, Shen Shuangzhao is very worried about her.

"No. Miss Lu put her somewhere else. I went home after seeing you and Miss Lu last night. If you want to know Cai'er's whereabouts, you'd better ask Miss Lu." Jing Zheng said.

"I see."

Jing Zheng glanced at Shen Shuangzhao's hand holding the medicine bottle, and looked at it thoughtfully for a long time before looking away: "Miss Shen is recovering from her wounds, so I will take my leave first."

"Walk slowly."

After resting in the Jingxin Hall for a while, Shen Shuangzhao left, but her knees became numb and sore within a few steps.Last night, he ran to Lu Qingrong in a hurry, but he didn't realize the pain. Now that he recovered, he realized how bad his knee was hurting.

Fortunately, after walking for a short distance, Nan Yan and Xiao Tao from Qingshuang Palace rushed over to pick her up, and they helped her back to the bedroom.

"Miss Shen, don't make the city lord angry again. This time the punishment is considered light. If she becomes cruel, she may be decapitated and go to jail." Nan Yan helped Shen Shuangzhao take off her dirty coat, and kindly persuaded her road.

Xiaotao came over with hot water: "Nan Yan is right, although the city lord dotes on you, you can't keep hurting her. Miss Shen, you can't see how much she expects from you."

"The two sisters are right, and I don't understand the truth. But to be honest, I really don't like to get involved in those political affairs. Sister Sang Yu regards me as a strong enemy for this, and I also feel wronged. "Shen Shuangzhao sighed. After she fell in love with Lu Qingrong, she became more determined not to care about political affairs.Both her and Lu Qingrong's identities are too sensitive, if she takes over the position of city lord, what should she and Lu Qingrong do.When the time comes, she will disappoint Master after all.

Since he doesn't like political affairs, and since he has no intention of taking the position of the city lord, it's better not to touch it now.When she finds a time, she will have a good talk with Master about this, so that it will not be too late.

Hearing what she said, Nanyan and Xiaotao looked at each other with sighs.What Sang Yu covets so much is actually a burden and a shackle of freedom in the eyes of another person.It can only be said that people each have their own pursuits.

"Okay, don't worry about these things, you haven't slept all night, wash your face and rest quickly. I'll ask the doctor to take a look at your leg injury later." Xiaotao continued to wring out the towel and handed it to her .

Shen Shuangzhao took it and said: "There is no need for a doctor, it's not a serious injury. I have medicine myself, so I just need to apply some. Don't worry about the two sisters, I can just come here by myself."

After taking Lu Qingrong's medicine, her knees felt more comfortable. Shen Shuangzhao lay on the bed and recalled over and over what Lu Qingrong said to her last night.Every sentence and every word was engraved on her heart, she tossed and turned, she was obviously very tired, but when she thought of Lu Qingrong, she became excited again, hugging the soft quilt tightly, her heart was filled with happiness.

Shen Shuangzhao, who was wrapped in love, had already lost her usual reticent and melancholy appearance, and she showed her soft, waxy, pure and kind-hearted temperament alone behind her.

Lu Qingrong, come to me quickly.

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

"How much do you think Shuang'er's words are credible?" After returning, Shen Wanrong asked Ruodie and Xue Qing.

Ruodie and Xueqing looked at each other, Ruodie first said: "I think Shuang'er's departure last night has something to do with Jing Zheng. As for how much of a connection, whether she really left the city to see Jing Zheng remains to be seen."

"I also have the same feeling—there is something strange between them." Xue Qing agreed with her words, "Jing Zheng said that after she woke up on a boat, she couldn't remember what happened at all. I remember when Shuang'er came back Mengxuan said that she found her by the river. The two situations are similar. As for where and whom Shuang'er met during the time she left, she still refuses to reveal a word. .”

Ruodie looked at Shen Wanrong, and guessed: "Didn't Shuang'er often go to Jing's house in Shanshui Lane after she came back? Maybe——she and Jing Zheng had similar or even the same experiences, or maybe the time when Shuang'er disappeared was related to her." Jingzheng is together."

Shen Wanrong stroked the scabbard, thought over and over again, did not comment on this matter, but asked: "Last time I asked you to investigate the matter of Sha Hai, did you get any results?"

"It's hard to know." Xue Qing frowned, "I only found out that the young master of the recent Shahai is not in the Shahai."

Shen Wanrong raised her eyebrows: "Not in the sand sea? Do you know where she went?"

"The subordinates haven't found out yet, but... just got the news this morning - some time ago, a woman next to Zhao Yueyao was seriously ill. Before that, Zhao Yueyao searched all over Qingcheng's famous doctors but couldn't cure her. The woman was about to die. "

Shen Wanrong closed her eyes, what she couldn't hear the most was about Zhao Yueyao, she didn't hide her disgust in her words: "So what?"

Xue Qing hastily clarified the secret: "As far as I know, the woman's physical condition has improved recently. I sent someone to bribe the man who works in the inner city of Qingcheng, saying that a veiled woman came here a few days ago. It's under control."

"A woman with a veil?" Certain memories are gradually connecting together in Shen Wanrong's mind.

"The young master of Shahai, Lu Qingrong, always likes to wear a veil, and rarely shows his true colors." Ruodee explained the key point for Xueqing.

Shen Wanrong said: "If that person is really Lu Qingrong, it is obvious that she went to Qingcheng to reach some agreement with Zhao Yueyao, or even form an alliance. Once this happens, Shuilan City will become very dangerous." More than ten years ago, Lu Yuanzheng also He colluded with Zhao Yueyao, and as a result, his family was ruined, and his beloved husband and child died and the other disappeared.Just remembering it, Shen Wanrong is still in pain.

"City Lord, I also found out that the woman Lu Qingrong healed was a friend of Shuang'er who met in the rain before she was caught by Zhao Yueyao." It took Xue Qing a lot of effort to find out in Qingcheng.

"What?" Shen Wanrong was stunned, "Why did Shuang'er get involved with the woman next to Zhao Yueyao?"

Xue Qing: "The subordinates don't know either. This is what the spies reported to me."

"Do you know the identity of the woman?"

Xue Qing hesitated: "I don't know yet. It is said that Zhao Yueyao treated her very differently from other women. When she was seriously ill, Zhao Yueyao was very sad."

"Why didn't you tell me this news earlier?" Shen Wanrong was sullen.

Xueqing and Ruodee knelt down: "Forgive the city lord, the two subordinates only got the news this morning."

Shen Wanrong remained silent, and pulled out her sword abruptly. The cold silver light of the blade flashed across her face: "Shuang'er, you pay close attention to me these few days. Also, send someone to investigate the murder case of the Li family medicine shop and the scene Bring me the records of the missing Zheng case." Looking at the sharp blade, she added, "If I remember correctly, Jing Zheng's disappearance is also related to a certain woman wearing a veil. If Lu Qingrong did it too, then Based on various inferences, the matter of Shuang'er has something to do with Lu Qingrong."

"Yes."

"Besides, I'm going to go to the island in the middle of the lake these few days." Shen Wanrong put the sword back into the scabbard. She had a hunch that the surface was calm now, but the undercurrent was actually surging.Lu Qingrong is by no means a good person, but her Shuang'er may have been inextricably linked with her long ago.
