When Xie Lingjiang quickly walked out of the quiet courtyard.
But she didn't look back to get the umbrella.
Directly into the rain curtain.
I bumped into a man dressed in purple waiting at the intersection not far from the small courtyard.
Red vs purple.
The former is tall and plump, while the latter is petite and exquisite.
The two women were six steps apart.
The thin drizzle fell on their bodies, and the red and purple color became darker, leaning towards a dark black tone.
Xie Lingjiang was the first to speak and said something.
However, it was obscured by the "rumbling" thunder overhead.
Pei Shisanniang on the side did not hear clearly. In addition, when she turned around, she found that Yan Liulang's figure had disappeared again.
Rong Zhen didn't know if he heard those words in the thunder, so he tilted his head and asked:
"I didn't take out both of their heads. Miss Xie is really making people laugh."
Xie Lingjiang said word by word:
"I said, give way, are you deaf?"
The dull look on Rong Zhen's face has disappeared, replaced by boundless indifference, leaving only slightly red eyes. At this moment, she replied lightly:
"Didn't you see that I am here to handle the case and catch the traitorous witch? Are you blind?"
Xie Lingjiang asked coldly:
"How can there be any anti-thief witch here? Don't listen to the wind and it will be wind, and listen to the rain and it will be rain. Also, who told the female historian that there is a witch here?
"However, if I insist on talking about a witch, there is indeed someone here who fits the bill. She is still a charming witch, but this girl is not in the yard, but outside."
"Oh, you should take care of the man you think you are first. I am worried about you. Don't bring a few sisters back next time. Are you angry?"
Xie Lingjiang nodded:
"Oh, you're so angry. He dared to bring his new sister home, but it wasn't you. He's so angry. He's so angry. He came first, he came last, and he's a head short. Hey, where can you explain this?"
Speaking of this, Xie Lingjiang glanced at the girl in purple attire in front of him, as if he was looking at her height, making a pun.
Rong Zhen smiled and said:
"Don't let your sister stand in front of you. Suddenly you become a younger sister. She is taller than others when standing, but shorter when sitting down. It's ridiculous. Miss Xie should learn how to manage a man first. If you can't learn it, you can quit.
Come down, just raise your neck and call me sister."
Xie Lingjiang took three steps closer and looked down at the girl in palace clothes in front of him with some confusion:
"Do you think some people need me to raise my neck? It's tiring to lower my head. Ms. Shi, do you think so?"
Rong Zhen did not raise his head, but looked at her with his dark eyes, slightly twitching the corners of his lips:
"I don't have time to listen to your riddles. Miss Xie, are you done? Leave as soon as you're done. Don't delay my next case."
"Working on a case, what case to handle, what case to handle, Ms. Shi is confused in the rain? Go back quickly, it's easy to get struck by lightning if you talk nonsense on a rainy day, haven't you been taught at home?"
Rong Zhen's steps were motionless, as if she was breathing out her true energy, and the fine raindrops around her couldn't get within three steps of her.
And three steps was exactly the straight-line distance between Xie Lingjiang and her.
Rong Zhen's lacquered eyes turned away somewhat calmly:
"Of course I will handle the cases you can't handle and take care of the people you can't handle."
Xie Lingjiang also smiled:
"Then the female historian must be careful, don't let anyone do anything to her. In this regard, the female historian is always worrying."
Rong Zhen's voice became louder: "Just him? I don't even know what Miss Xie is being so weird about. She is totally wrong."
Xie Lingjiang looked her up and down, a little seriously:
"Whether she is in the right position or not, the female historian herself knows. In fact, excluding other conflicts, I hope that the female historian can be more assertive and tough."
Rong Zhen said coldly: "Nonsense."
Xie Lingjiang nodded: "You know why you ask."
Rong Zhen fired back: "Self-righteous."
"It's a sentimental thing."
Xie Lingjiang commented lightly, then nodded and concluded:
"From the first time I met you, I knew that you were a clingy, jealous person who was stingy and controlling. You liked to keep everything for yourself, but you refused to admit it. To put it nicely, you were a face-saving person.
The worst thing to say is that you are arrogant and arrogant, to the extreme."
Rong Zhen squinted:
"It's better than some people who are so prude and generous, who are so anxious that they almost cry when things get tough, but don't have the confidence to give in. If you beat your senior brother, I will look down on you. Now
Well, it can only be said that if there is one, there are two..."
Xie Lingjiang said softly: "Aren't you afraid that you will feel distressed?"
Rong Zhen said expressionlessly: "He deserves it too."
Xie Lingjiang suddenly said:
"Ms. Shi, do you want me to make a fuss, preferably to make a big fuss, to quarrel with Sister Xiu Niang, and to fight to the death, with her and me, with me and without her, and let the elder brother choose? In this way, you can change your attitude and take advantage of the situation.
Enter?
"Oh, it's no wonder that Ms. Shi is a step slower today. No wonder she's standing outside without saying anything. These little calculations are so loud. I can hear them in the yard. It's really noisy."
At this point, like Rong Zhen, the smile on her face gradually disappeared and she waved her fingers:
"But I don't."
Rong Zhen flicked his sleeves and turned his head:
"It's nonsense and far-fetched. I don't want to care about you."
And he immediately added:
"But I can understand you, after all, you have an extra sister."
Xie Lingjiang corrected with a smile: "You have an extra sister. Remember, she is called Sister Xiu Niang."
Rong Zhen slowly turned around, stared at her with squinted eyes, as if looking at something carefully, and asked:
"Did you already know this woman?"
Xie Lingjiang did not answer, but asked:
"How did the female historian know about your embroidered sister? Who told you?"
"I want you to take care of it."
"This is also for you."
At this moment, the door of the quiet courtyard opened, and Ouyang Rong came out with an oil-paper umbrella and a spare umbrella in his hand, and rushed in front of the two women.
"Sorry, I was late after looking for an umbrella... It's raining hard. Why are you still standing here in the rain? Come on, go back."
Ouyang Rong looked apologetic and asked the girls to leave.
Rong Zhen remained motionless.
Xie Lingjiang did not move at all.
Only Pei Shisanniang took a few steps forward. When she looked back, she found that the two daughters and the young master had not left, so she stopped honestly.
The four of them just stood in the rain.
Ouyang Rong's expression changed.
"Thanks."
Xie Lingjiang reached out directly, took away the free umbrella in his hand, and opened it to block the rain.
In fact, she had been doing the same as Rong Zhen just now, using Qi to protect her body and not let the rain get close to her. This was very simple for a mid-level Qi practitioner.
Rong Zhen turned his head and looked at Ouyang Rong, who was holding an umbrella.
I don't know when it started, rain fell on her body again, and her purple clothes gradually became wet.
Rong Zhen looked straight at Ouyang Rong.
Ouyang Rong suddenly turned his head and asked Pei Sanniang first:
"Thirteenth Niang, why don't you need an umbrella? I'm in good health. The doctor said that if you have excessive anger, it'll be fine if you get wet in the rain."
Pei Shisanniang hurriedly waved her hand: "I don't need it, I don't need it, I... I'll go back now, the carriage is right next to me."
"oh."
Under Xie Lingjiang's gaze, Ouyang Rong nodded and calmly put the umbrella into Rong Zhen's hand:
"Where are you, Rong Nushi? Forget it, just fight. You seem to have come alone without a carriage."
So Xie Ling Jiang and Rong Zhen each took an umbrella.
Ouyang Rong stood obediently outside the two umbrellas, with a smile on his face, and seemed to ask casually:
"By the way, what were you talking about just now?"
No one answered.
Xie Lingjiang suddenly walked towards Pei Shisanniang, who was so frightened that he shrank back.
"Don't move."
Xie Lingjiang whispered, took out a handkerchief embroidered with orchids, and while Pei Shisanniang was stunned, gently wiped her right cheek with the slap mark:
"I was impulsive and indiscriminate before. I apologize to Mrs. Pei. Strictly speaking, you are just fulfilling your duties for these things. No matter what, it is not your fault, and it is difficult for you to do it... I am very sorry,
Not next time."
After a pause, Xie Lingjiang tilted his head slightly:
"Elder brother, do you think so?"
"Yes, yes, I have the biggest responsibility, and I don't know how to do it anymore. Thirteenth Niang, relax and go back and have a good rest."
"Oh, okay."
Being comforted by the noble daughter of the Xie family in person, Pei Shisanniang burst into tears with gratitude and quickly said goodbye and left.
After the beautiful woman in purple and gold robes walked away, she raised her hand and touched the two fiery red slap marks on her face today. Then she came back to her senses and suddenly understood that a certain blue-clothed catcher disappeared and appeared.
The positioning makes sense, I sigh with resentment, I still need to learn more and make more progress...
After Pei Sanniang left, only Ouyang Rong, Xie Lingjiang and Rong Zhen were left on the field.
The last two people held umbrellas in the rain, but Ouyang Rong did not take the initiative to go under anyone's umbrella. He looked up at the rain, as if to observe when the rain would stop.
Rong Zhen stared at Ouyang Rong.
Her eyes fell on his messy clothes and the footprints on his chest.
Xie Lingjiang seemed to take it as if he really didn't exist, and suddenly asked Ouyang Rong in surprise:
"What's wrong, Senior Brother? His body is covered in ashes."
Ouyang Rong replied in seconds: "I accidentally fell down before going out."
Rong Zhen sneered: "If you fall down, will you still get footprints on your chest?"
Ouyang Rong analyzed it seriously: "It's really possible that the boots fell off first and I fell on them."
Xie Lingjiang's face softened slightly, and in front of Rong Zhen, he walked up to him, patted the dust on his clothes with a hint of intimacy, put his lips close to his ear, and whispered in a low voice:
"That jingling white jade hairpin is really suitable for her. You don't have to take it back. We happened to meet today and I forgot to bring my greeting gift. Instead, she gave me an amulet and even changed her name to sister. Then this
The white jade hairpin, just think it was given to her by you and me."
It was obviously a whisper, but it was faintly louder than the sound of rain.
Rong Zhen suddenly raised his head and looked at Ouyang Rong.
Xie Ling Jiang turned a deaf ear and gave Ouyang Rong a few more words. He chuckled and turned to leave.
Ouyang Rong made an apologetic gesture to Rong Zhen, who was silent, and quickly stepped forward to send Jiang Jiang off.
The two of them were side by side. As soon as they walked far away, he reached out to hold Xie Lingjiang, who was walking silently. He saw that the little junior sister who had just been cleaning his dust affectionately threw away his arm and asked coldly: "Do you want to fall off your boots once?"
Up there?"
"I want to." Ouyang Rong nodded shamelessly, touched his chest calmly, and continued to hold out his hand for her.
"You...are sick!" Xie Lingjiang suddenly lost his temper. He took a deep breath, calmed down again, and shook off his hand.
Under the azure rain curtain, a stunning girl dressed in red held an umbrella alone, cold and indifferent, and walked away alone.
Ouyang Rong stayed and watched her disappear. He immediately turned back. When he returned to the place, he found that Rong Zhen's figure had disappeared.
Ouyang Rong subconsciously looked at the quiet courtyard and was about to rush there. Yan Liulang's figure suddenly appeared at the corner of the street, holding several umbrellas in his arms.
He said weakly: "Ming Mansion, the female historian didn't go in, she just turned around and left."
Ouyang Rong breathed a sigh of relief and asked curiously: "Where did Liulang go just now? Why can't you be seen?"
Yan Liulang said with thick eyebrows and big eyes: "It's raining, so I went to get an umbrella."
Ouyang Rong felt that this excuse sounded familiar and frowned:
"Are you looking for an umbrella too? Okay, be sure to hurry up next time."
Yan Liulang nodded quickly: "Yes, yes."
Ouyang Rong asked Ming Rongzhen again about the direction of walking away, and immediately chased after him.
Rong Zhen didn't go far. He held an umbrella and walked, as if he was walking by the lake.
Ouyang Rong caught up with her and breathed a sigh of relief. He wiped sweat from his sleeves and asked with concern:
"Where are Rong Nu Shi going?"
"Has the Governor finished taking care of the family affairs?"
Ouyang Rong shook his head: "It's not over yet. I'll probably suffer a lot later... Rong Nu Shi made me laugh."
"It's not funny. Please give way and stay out of the way."
"Is Rong Nu Shi going back?"
"Well, go back and call someone."
"What are you calling for?"
"Handling the case of harboring a Yue girl."
Ouyang Rong immediately stood in front of Rong Zhen, looked at her face carefully, and said softly:
"Let Nu Shi calm down."
Rong Zhen suddenly stopped and said:
"Don't you think she is childish?"
"What?" Ouyang Rong was confused.
"If you pretend to be stupid, then there will be nothing to talk about. Get lost. I will go back to the Overwatch Council to call for help."
Ouyang Rong suddenly said:
"She is indeed a Yue girl."
"Are you quite proud?"
"How did Ke Rongnvshi find out that she suddenly came here today?"
"If you don't want others to know about the bastard things you did unless you do it yourself, I am in charge of the Overwatch Council and supervise Jiangzhou. Why can't I know about it?"
"because……"
He paused and had no words to respond, but still frowned in confusion.
Rong Zhen walked quietly for a while and said:
"Do you still remember what we inferred after we seized the first Yunmeng Token from the hero Zheng Jun and tortured Li Yu in the water prison?"
"What?"
"The more virgin you are, the more likely you are to be lurking in the city."
"Remember."
Ouyang Rong nodded calmly and found that Rong Zhen's face remained as usual.
She lowered her eyes and spoke softly:
"I have been paying close attention to this matter and have left a team of female officers to secretly search the city. You suddenly led the troops to investigate the case a few days ago, which made them suspicious. During the investigation, they accidentally discovered that your compound where people are hiding was suspected to have slipped through the net at first.
The Yue girl lived in the house and got involved with the sisters from the Fang family. It turned out that you were also in and out and had a close relationship with the girl in the courtyard. Naturally, I know who she is... Xie Lingjiang and you arrived one after another today, and there was no fight.
It seems that he is the daughter-in-law of a cross-country girl. What a coincidence. This fate is just like what is said in the storybook. It is no wonder that the governor often runs here these days. There must be a monster when something goes wrong.
"
After hearing this, Ouyang Rong rubbed his face: "Is it so simple to discover unexpectedly..."
Rong Zhen didn't look back and said in a calm voice: "What if."
Ouyang Rong asked in his usual tone: "Did they find what they wanted to find?"
"No, there is a high chance that Yue will run away, especially when you made a huge arrest a few days ago and alerted others. You didn't even catch him, so he really ran away."
"I failed in my duty."
Ouyang Rong nodded, and just as he was about to deal with it, Rong Zhen in front of him slowly stopped.
"What's wrong, Lady Shi?"
Rong Zhen turned his head and frowned:
"Stop, you take me there first."
"Where to go?"
Ouyang Rong saw her expressionless face and said:
"Meet your child bride."
