Conan's physique? The Crown Princess is involved in a murder case again

Xu Xingyin pretended not to know and walked straight to a grocery stall on the street and asked the stall owner.

"Excuse me, is there any ointment to lighten scars?"

The stall owner glanced at Xu Xingyin and asked, "Did the girl sprain her ankle?"

"I'm fine. It was my little sister who accidentally scratched her leg. It's not good for a girl to have a scar."

"okay!"

The stall owner quickly found two bottles of ointment and said, "The yellow one is for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, which is good for the girl's sprain. The blue one is for removing scars and blemishes."

Xu Xingyin pursed her lips and accepted the stall owner's suggestion.

"how much is it?"

"One tael of silver."

The stall owner glanced at Xu Xingyin as he spoke, as if afraid that she would regret it, and quickly added: "These are all top-quality ointments that you can't buy anywhere else! They are honest and worth the price!"

Xu Xingyin curled his lips and offered a price that was not too excessive. Both sides took a step back and the deal was done.

Mei Hanrui only gave Xu Xingyin two hours. After paying the money and taking the ointment, Xu Xingyin didn't want to delay any longer, so he took the things and went back.

When I passed by a pastry shop, I bought some snacks and planned to take them back to share with everyone.

The guards from the villa followed him all the way, and when they saw that Xu Xingyin was normal, they went to report to the housekeeper.

at the same time--

I don't know when the owner of the grocery stall on the street changed. The original bearded owner suddenly turned into a handsome young man. He mounted his horse and went straight to the place where the rich businessmen gathered in the city.

When Qiongguang came to deliver the letter, Jing Zhichen was worried about the things in the capital.

He leaned against the window frame, and the dark clouds between his brows miraculously dissipated. He didn't know whether it was because of the letter or the fragrance of osmanthus outside the window.

Xu Xingyin said in the letter that most of their original speculations were true.

Secondly, Mei Hanrui will get married in two days. Mei Hanrui is the most talented girl in Biezhuang. This matter must be related to Liu Yongfeng's bribery of officials, so Jing Zhichen may be able to follow Mei Hanrui's wedding team to find key evidence.

Furthermore, there was something fishy about Liu Yongfeng bribing the Baoling County Magistrate, so he hoped Jing Zhichen could investigate the Baoling County Magistrate.

It was a crumpled piece of paper, and it was obvious that someone had taken great pains to carry it out.

The letter described in detail the findings of Xu Xingyin's investigation at the villa, without a single word of nonsense.

Qiongguang and other subordinates repeatedly praised the crucial information provided by Xu Xingyin. Everyone seemed very happy, except for the man who was leaning against the window, whose mood suddenly dropped again, making people puzzled.

Without even a greeting, Xu Xingyin is really...

Bravo.

This time, even Qiong Guang didn't figure out what Jing Zhichen was doing. He thought Jing Zhichen was worried about Xu Xingyin's safety, so he hurriedly comforted him.

"Your Highness, don't worry. The Crown Princess is very smart and will be fine. As for the sprained ankle, I have already given you the ointment prepared by Mr. Huaigu..."

"She's hurt?"

The sudden question made Qiong Guang stunned for a moment. Then he realized that he had not reported the matter to Jing Zhichen yet, so he hurriedly told him everything.

As Jing Zhichen listened, his face became darker and darker, and finally he gave orders to Aoying in a deep voice.

"I want to know the whole story."

Anyone who hurts his people is naturally unforgivable.

Ao Ying never asked so many questions. He just replied "yes" and went to do what Jing Zhichen ordered.

Xu Xingyin had no idea what was happening outside. He just counted the days on his fingers, quietly waiting for the day when Mei Hanrui would "get married".

The day before Mei Hanrui "got married", she said she wanted to leave a letter for the sisters she knew, and called Xu Xingyin to serve Mo.

When Xu Xingyin went in, Mei Hanrui was standing in the courtyard wearing a thin shirt. The usually gentle girl seemed a little distant for no reason under the cold moonlight.

"Come on, it's hard for you to come here so late at night. I don't have much to thank you for. Just have a bowl of sweet soup to warm yourself up."

Seeing Xu Xingyin, Mei Hanrui waved at her with a smile, walked into the house, and brought her a bowl of sweet soup with a smile, then paused and added.

“I made it myself.”

Unable to refuse the kind offer, Xu Xingyin accepted the sweet soup and thanked Mei Hanrui politely.

"Thank you, Miss Hanrui."

"You are Welcome."

Mei Hanrui walked to the desk and lit the lamp herself. The brightly lit room made the melancholy between her brows nowhere to hide.

She pressed her handkerchief to the corners of her eyes and chuckled in a mocking manner.

"I told you to watch a joke."

"how come."

"I know that given my family background, I am marrying up to a high standard to be able to marry a city official."

Mei Hanrui touched the rice paper on the table, and a tear unexpectedly fell into it, spreading on the paper.

"I should be happy, but I can't be happy."

"Miss Hanrui..."

Xu Xingyin didn't know how to comfort Mei Hanrui for a moment, but she knew that if these words were heard by others, it would definitely be detrimental to Mei Hanrui, so she could only remind her softly.

"It doesn't matter."

Mei Hanrui, contrary to her usual attitude, didn't care about these things. She waved at Xu Xingyin and said, "Tomorrow, I will get married. I will follow the master's orders and marry a man who is the same age as my father. Everyone says that this is my blessing. Indeed, compared with those sisters who were sent to that place because they failed the assessment, I am indeed very lucky."

The "that place" in Mei Hanrui's words caught Xu Xingyin's attention. She pondered for a moment, blinked her eyes and asked curiously.

"So, Miss Hanrui is also going to take an exam? Just like the young masters in the mansion took the imperial examinations in the past?"

"That's about right. We don't keep useless people here."

Mei Hanrui seemed to find Xu Xingyin's metaphor quite interesting. She chuckled and continued with a somewhat sad tone.

"But, Xiao Cui, you know what? I miss home very much. I want to know if my parents are in good health, I want to see my baby nephew, and I also want to see... him."

"..."

Xu Xingyin lowered her brows silently and did not respond, but secretly promised in her heart that she would definitely send Mei Hanrui home safely.

Let her marry her beloved lover, let her accompany her elderly parents, and let her have a simple and happy life.

"After this farewell, I am afraid that I will never be able to return to my parents' care and be filial to them again. I will no longer be the pure and innocent Sanniang in his eyes."

When it came to the emotional part, Mei Hanrui lowered her head and covered her chest, tears falling down her face. She cried so hard that she no longer looked as pretty as usual.

Xu Xingyin was thinking about how to comfort Mei Hanrui, but she saw Mei Hanrui bent her knees and knelt directly in front of her. Mei Hanrui looked up and met her eyes.

A faint ray of hope flickered in his eyes that were dim just now, "Xiao Cui, can you go for me?"

"what!"

Xu Xingyin didn't expect Mei Hanrui to make such a request. She widened her eyes and was about to speak when she felt dizzy.
