“That day, I sent someone to call Lingque, and it took a long time before she finally arrived, running out of breath.

I noticed that there was something red on her shoes, so in order to prevent the guests from noticing anything unusual, I lent her my shoes.

However, she didn't return the shoes to me when she left.

When the maid was cleaning the shoes, she discovered that the stains on the shoes were not rouge or paint, but what looked like blood.

"How come there are blood stains on a woman's shoes?" Lin Qiu'er narrowed her eyes, her heart full of confusion.

Is Lingque related to the disappearance of my eldest brother?

Why were there bloodstains on her shoes?

Why did she decide to leave for Youzhou City after only staying in Cuiyun Tower for a few days?

Lianxiang looked at the handsome young master who was sitting in the upper seat with his eyes narrowed, and suddenly smiled somewhat ambiguously, "Young master, perhaps you don't know that girls don't feel well for a few days every month."

Lin Qiu'er heard the hidden meaning in Lianxiang's words and reacted immediately, with a wicked smile on her lips, "For the sake of business, Cuiyunlou asked Hua Niang, who was feeling unwell, to come out to entertain guests. This is a bit too much."

Gu Anqing was completely confused and had no idea what the conversation between Lianxiang and Lin Qiuer meant, but his face still showed no emotion.

Mo Yanxiu picked up the wine glass and took a sip, then glanced at the two people opposite him with a strange look, which made Lin Nanye and Lin Nanyue feel puzzled.

"Master, you are joking. I am just guessing."

Lianxiang was trying to cover up her slip of the tongue awkwardly; she had not expected that this young master knew so much about her daughter's private affairs.

Lin Qiuer had already obtained the information she wanted, so she turned to look at Chang Qing who was standing beside her and nodded slightly.

Changqing immediately understood, took out a silver ingot and walked to Lianxiang, "This is a reward from my young master, go down."

Lianxiang looked at the heavy silver ingot in her hand and felt extremely regretful.

Her slip of the tongue just now made her miss a great opportunity.

This ingot of silver weighs a full thirty taels. If I spend a little more time and effort, I might be able to get more.

But it was no use regretting now, Lianxiang could only stand up gracefully, bow to everyone, and turn around to leave the room.

As soon as Lianxiang left, Mo Yanxiu spoke up, "Mr. Lin, which guest at my half-brother's banquet that night are you interested in?"

From Lin Qiuer's constant questioning of Lianxiang about Mo Yanzhi's banquet that night, he understood about 70% of it.

Lin Qiuer and her group did not come to the brothel simply to have fun, but had some purpose.

Lin Qiu'er glanced at Mo Yanxiu indifferently and laughed in her heart. This idiot only realized it now.

She picked up the snacks on the table, ate them, sighed, and said, "Master Mo, you misunderstood.

I am just interested in the music of the piano in Cuiyun Tower, so I came here to enjoy it.

What a pity, Miss Lianxiang also said that the musician who hosted the dinner for Young Master Mo has already left Cuiyun Tower. What a pity..."

Gu Anqing saw that Lin Qiuer seemed to like the snacks on the table very much and finished them in just a few bites.

He pushed his plate of snacks in front of her and said with a smile, "If you like it, Brother Lin, I'll give you this plate too."

Lin Qiu'er looked at Gu Anqing as she saw the snack that suddenly appeared in front of her, and said with a smile, "This snack tastes really good, Mr. Gu, try it too."

"I don't like sweets, and it would be a waste to leave them here. Since Brother Lin likes them, please help me get them."

"Well, it would be a waste if you don't eat it, so I'll help you eat it." Lin Qiu'er happily cleared all the snacks on the table, and then sighed, "This wine is as light as water, it's really hard to drink."

Gu Anqing was a little confused. The wine he had just drunk was obviously not bad. Could it be that Miss Qiu'er's wine was different from his?

Thinking of this, he reached out and picked up the wine jug in front of Lin Qiuer, but when he picked up the jug, he found that it was empty.

"Brother, have you finished the wine in the pot?"

"Yes, I spent money to buy it, it would be a waste if I don't drink it. Although the alcohol content is not high, it is better than drinking plain water." Lin Qiuer answered dejectedly.

"Brother, I've listened to the song, drunk the wine, and seen the girl. But I still don't know where big brother has gone." Lin Nanyue said worriedly.

Hearing this, Lin Nanye reached out and slapped Lin Nanyue on the head, "Didn't you hear what Lianxiang said just now? There was blood on the shoes of that spirit bird when it appeared."

"Third brother, why do you always pat my head? You will become stupid!

Besides, what does the blood on the Lingque shoes mean? Could it be my brother's blood? " Lin Nanyue covered her head and grumbled in dissatisfaction.

"Little sister, do you think this is really big brother's blood?" Lin Nanye seemed to have thought of something and exclaimed with a hint of uncertainty on his face.

Lin Qiuer's eyes were deep, as if she was thinking about something. "It's very likely. That day, the sparrow ran away in panic in the teahouse.

I'm afraid it's not just because of the murderous aura from Shen Xiangming and the others. She might have mistakenly thought that they were the ones who were hunting down Big Brother, so she was so scared."

"Well, Brother Lin's analysis makes sense." Gu Anqing nodded in agreement, "Maybe Sister Lin was just encountered by Lingque, so her shoes were stained with blood.

But how did Lingque escape those who were chasing Brother Lin?"

Lin Nanyue was full of doubts. Did the people who were chasing her brother know that her brother might be saved by the spirit bird?

Mo Yanxiu listened to the conversation between the few people and gradually understood their purpose.

It turned out that they were looking for a missing relative, and that relative was Lin Qiuer's eldest brother.

"Brother Lin, if you need any help from me, just let me know." Mo Yanxiu expressed his willingness to help without hesitation.

Lin Qiuer smiled and thanked Mo Yanxiu.

"Thank you, Second Young Master Mo. I originally thought it would take some time to get to the bottom of things, but I didn't expect it to be so smooth.

In this case, we don’t need to stay in Cuiyun Tower for long.”

"Are you ready to leave now?" Mo Yanxiu felt a little regretful.

He thought he could chat with them for a while and enjoy the music. "It's still early, won't you stay a little longer?"

"No. We are leaving Linzhou City the day after tomorrow, Master Mo." Lin Qiu'er changed the subject and asked Mo Yanxiu, "What kind of hairpin was the third maid who brought the wine and snacks just now wearing on her head?"

Everyone was confused and didn't understand why Lin Qiuer suddenly asked this question, and they all looked at Mo Yanxiu.

Mo Yanxiu frowned and thought for a while, "The third maid wore a blue velvet flower on her head, not a hairpin. Brother Lin, did you remember it wrong?"

The others looked at Lin Qiu'er again, only to see that her expression did not change. She continued to ask Mo Yanxiu, "Is it a blue velvet flower? Isn't it a silver hairpin?"

Gu Anqing was confused as he listened and didn't quite understand Lin Qiuer's intention.

But he also carefully observed that Mo Yanxiu could actually accurately describe the ornament on the third maid's head, which made him look at Mo Yanxiu with admiration.

Originally, I thought that Mo Yanxiu was just a son of an official who loved to have fun, but now it seems that he has some unknown talents.

"Yes, it is the blue velvet flower, Brother Lin must have remembered it wrong.

The last maid wore a silver hairpin, and the third maid not only wore a blue velvet flower, but also had a blue ball of thread on her shoes.

Mo Yanxiu answered very confidently, and he also described the maid's attire in great detail.

After hearing this, the serious expression on Lin Qiuer's face disappeared and she finally smiled.

She is now certain that Mo Yanxiu possesses extraordinary observation and memory.

And if such ability is placed in the people of the Censorate, they will definitely shine.
