40: Money

When Xie Zhen got home, the more she thought about it, the more she realized something was wrong.

Not only was something wrong with the Crown Princess's banquet, but also with Li Yu.

She didn't know what the Crown Princess's purpose was, so she couldn't guess. Just to be safe, she didn't even embroider her name onto the handkerchief.

She hoped nothing will happen.

As for Li Yu, how did he know that she had lost a handkerchief?

On the one hand, Xie Zhen was worried. On the other hand, she wanted to know the whereabouts of Auntie Song, so she told Xie Rong about it and asked him to help investigate Li Yu.

Xie Rong did not know that this person was in the capital. He asked casually, "When did you meet him?"

Xie Zhen pursed her lips, dipped her head, and scratched her fingernails. "I met him by chance at the Mingqiu Lakeside."

These words were half true, half false. Actually, it was not by chance. She didn't know how long Li Yu had been hiding there before he suddenly caught her.

This small detail wasn't too bad. Xie Rong looked at her and called her by her nickname, "Why do you only speak now?"

She looked up, unable to find a suitable excuse, so only pretended to be good, "Last time there were so many people, I couldn't find a chance to speak. After I returned home, I forgot about it. I didn't remember it until today!"

Xie Rong didn't say anything. He clearly didn't believe that she would really forget.

She also knew that the reason was not good. She leaned out from the square table, took a cup of tea and looked at him, "Big brother, can you help me ask around?"

Xie Rong didn't answer. Calmly, he asked, "Why do you want to know where he is?"

She choked, wondering was there any other reason.

It was just that she wanted to know!

If she told Xie Rong this, he probably wouldn't agree. Thus, she racked her brains for a moment before an idea struck her. "I don't want to know where he is, I want to know where Auntie Song is."

"Auntie Song used to be so nice to us. I want to know how she's doing. "

Xie Rong was barely able to accept this reason. If it was for Li Yu, he wouldn't agree to Xie Zhen.

He had never liked that kid since he was young, and he wondered if he was still the same as before when he grew up.

Noticing that he was loosening up, Xie Zhen struck the iron while it was hot, lifted the tea-cover and sent the tea forward, her face beaming with a bright smile. "Big brother, will you drink it?"

"After this cup of tea, you would do what I asked. "

Xie Rong smiled helplessly as he took a sip from the teacup.

Delighted, she hopped around the room, then came up to him, took a sip of hot tea from his hand, and pursed her pink lips. Her eyes were like crescent moons.

She probably didn't know why she was so happy. It was probably because she was about to meet Auntie Song.

She definitely wouldn't admit that it was because of Li Yu. After all, they had only had an argument during the day. He was so fierce, so she didn't want to get along with him.

Finding people in the capital wasn't a difficult matter. Every person who went in and out of the capital had to show up for a public trial, and every day there was a record of it.
