C74 Who was that person? (1/2)
Yuwen Fei knew that he was not the main character and so he did not understand the current situation, but he still did not explain to him before he left.
Huai Jin coldly snorted, her heart feeling as uncomfortable as scratching an itch.
”Who can control a mouse?” Huai Jin muttered. Thinking that Ran Mei knew more than she did, she turned around and asked her: ”Is there any famous beast trainer in the capital?”
Ran Mei did not know much about Beast Tamers and other people, but she understood from their conversation just now that this matter was probably related to Su Geying's death. Since it had something to do with this matter, her identity would definitely not be simple.
Ran Mei began to search through the information in her mind regarding the influential officials in the capital. After filtering through it, she said uncertainly, ”One year ago, Xibo Marquis, in order to make the Old Madam happy, paid a hefty sum of money to invite a vaudeville crew to Mansion of Xibo Marquis.”
Hearing the three words ”Xibo Marquis”, Huai Jin's heart suddenly sank, and the words Ran Mei spoke by her ear still continued.
What Ran Mei said afterwards, was already gone from Huai Jin's ears, and her mind only contained the three words Xibo Marquis.
Huai Jin suddenly thought of the scene in front of the palace gate where Yuwen Fei had shouted ”My royal father is at ease!” Thinking about it now, during the investigation, Xibo Marquis should have discovered the evidence of Wu Bo Hou colluding with Bei Ling, but he waited for Bei Ling to connect with him, and then send him off before he gave all the clues to the Emperor.
And today, when he saw Pu Xin in the Imperial Palace, he was afraid that apart from going to the Imperial Garden to pick the flowers, he had also seen that palace maid.
Huai Jin thought back to the palace maid again, and the way she had intentionally glanced at Xibo Marquis, and he became even more convinced of her guess.
”Princess.”
After Ran Mei finished speaking, seeing that Huai Jin did not respond, she tried to call out.
When Huai Jin heard the voice, she let out a faint ”En” and gradually regained her senses.
This was a battle between the two of them, and from start to finish, he was just a chess piece who had been thrown into a mess, a chess piece whose situation could not be clearly seen. He felt very terrible.
A gust of wind blew by, and all the leaves on the sides of the road wilted and fell. A leaf landed on Huai Jin's shoulder, which was half green and half withered yellow, as though it was that quiet figure.
Huai Jin swept the leaves on her shoulder away and sighed. Her clear eyes gradually became shrouded with a layer of dense fog, but she was still determined.
”Princess, we should head this way when we return to the manor.” Ran Mei realized that she was heading in the wrong direction, and she warned him.
Huai Jin turned around and waved at her, then smiled: ”Go buy some rouge.”
A new rouge shop had been introduced recently. Not only was the color of the rouge denser and purer, but the time it lasted on the skin was also much longer. It had attracted many ladies to buy it, causing the business of the credit book to rise to a whole new level.
By the time Huai Jin and Ran Mei arrived at Rong Ming, there were already a lot of people inside. Even though it was twice the size of normal shops, it still looked a little crowded right now.
Moreover, the more guests there were, the more nervous the staff would be.
One after another, the young ladies flew back and forth the hall like flying butterflies, helping the ladies test their abilities and pick their things. They were extremely busy. So when Huai Jin arrived, even after waiting for a long time, no one came to greet him.
