Shi Li never thought that she would encounter a black sesame glutinous rice ball when she first arrived.

After returning to the room, I looked at the candlestick on the table and recalled the strange wall and the red lantern, and I still felt a lingering fear.

The outside world was so scary, she just wanted to go back to her own peach forest and live her life in peace. If she was lucky enough to make a breakthrough in her cultivation and become an immortal, that would be even better.

If not, it would be nice to live a simple life.

She planned to go to Hanxuan Teahouse tomorrow to see if She Lu and the others could provide some useful clues.

This Hu Xiaoli is really a worry.

Even if she wanted to sneak out, why should she be involved?

She was the most innocent from beginning to end.

Shi Li just felt sorry for herself.

The next day, Diwu Zhiyun did not follow her out again, as if he had other things to do. Shi Li changed her clothes in the alley just like the day before, and then went to Hanxuan Tea House.

She Lu, Jia and Yi were all there, and waved to her as soon as they saw her walk into the teahouse.

Shi Li walked over with a smile, sat down, and chatted with a few people.

Under her intentional or unintentional guidance, She Lu talked about many things that had happened recently in their literary circle and mentioned many people, but nothing made Shi Li feel suspicious.

Later, Jia Shusheng talked about Jiang Sheng again.

"Brother Jiang didn't show up again today. I don't know if he's indulged in that gentle place again. It's really speechless."

Shi Li knew the inside story, and couldn't help but lower her head when she heard this.

I thought that this time it was not a gentle time. I guess Mr. Jiang was frightened by the Painted Skin Ghost and he had to calm down.

"Let's count the days. We haven't seen Brother Jiang for five or six days. Why don't we go to his house together later to see if there is any peerless beauty hidden in his house!" The scholar named Yi is also a gossip lover.

She Lu did not object, but just looked at Shi Li.

"Brother Shi, why don't you come with us to take a look? Brother Jiang is not a bad person and his literary talent is first-rate."

Shi Li had met Jiang Sheng yesterday. Thinking of how he coveted her, she didn't want to see him again even though he had changed his clothes, so she bowed and declined.

The other three people did not hesitate. They drank tea and wrote poems, then went their separate ways.

She Lu and two other people went to visit Jiang Sheng, while Shi Li continued to wander around the city to investigate.

Another fruitless day.

Shi Li: I’m really tired.

When she returned to the Lin Mansion in the evening, she heard the servant tell her that Diwu Zhiyun was in the study and said he wanted to see her when she returned.

Shi Li thought he had some clues about the news, so she immediately perked up and walked towards the study.

When he entered the room, Diwu Zhiyun was writing at the table. When he saw Shi Li, he immediately put down his pen and stood up.

"Young Master asked me to come over, but do you have any clues?" Shi Li was really anxious and went straight to the point.

Diwu Zhiyun showed a rare look of embarrassment on his face, "I am really sorry for failing to live up to your high expectations. The servants who went out to investigate these two days reported that they did not find any clues, which disappointed you."

Shi Li was indeed very disappointed, but she couldn't say it and could only force a smile.

"It's okay, thank you for your hard work, sir."

So, why call her over when there is no clue?

Seeing Shi Li's suspicion, Diwu Zhiyun took down a long and thin box from the shelf behind him and pushed it in front of Shi Li.

"My aunt is very grateful to you for saving me in the mountains that day, so she specially prepared this small gift. She was worried that you would refuse, so she specifically asked me to persuade you to accept it."

It turned out to be a thank you gift.

Shi Li looked at the exquisite box and guessed that there was most likely some jewelry inside, so there was nothing that she couldn't accept.

Since it was Mrs. Lin's intention, she would just accept it, and when she left, she would just have to find a way to stay in the Lin Mansion.

Thinking of this, Shi Li thanked him and picked up the box.

Then he heard Diwu Zhiyun admonish, "Miss Shi, please make sure my aunt sees you accept it, otherwise I will be nagged."

There was indeed a hairpin in the box.

It is made of plain silver and is not expensive, but the silver bell on the hairpin is delicate and lively.

Shi Li returned to the room and opened the box. She fell in love with the hairpin at first sight. She took it out and put it in her hair bun. She sat in front of the bronze mirror, looking at it from left to right, and couldn't let it go.

[Although, I feel like the hairpin looks familiar. ]

[It looks familiar. I don’t watch costume dramas, but this hairpin looks so familiar to me~]

[It is indeed beautiful. Maybe I think all beautiful things belong to me, hahaha! ]

The moment Shi Li put on the hairpin, a stream of light flashed by and then disappeared quickly.
