Rebirth 78, the beginning of the marriage was broken off by the female educated youth

The two men chased into the alley, one in front and one behind.

But after searching the entire alley thoroughly, and even entering two open courtyards, he still couldn't find Mu Huanrong.

There were only a few children playing with glass balls on the ground. Apart from that, there were clothes from each household fluttering in the wind. Where was the shadow of the old woman?

"Brother Nan... huh, huh..." Song Zimo came out after finding a house, full of doubts: "Did you see it wrongly? Is it really your aunt?"

Li Xiangnan and he looked at each other in surprise, but with his excellent memory and eyesight, he felt that he could not have been wrong. After shaking his head, both of them had the same expression of shock and solemnity on their faces.

"If it was really your aunt just now, why did she hide? Isn't it better that you came here? It's a good opportunity for us to recognize each other!" Song Zimo's voice was dry, but there was still the residual warmth from a long run. He took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to Li Xiangnan.

Li Xiangnan was also confused.

This is the main access point from Xishan Farm to the city, which means you have to pass through here whether you go to Shangguan's house or return to the city.

If it was really Mu Huanrong, why would she be waiting here?

But why don’t you meet me?

Just a coincidence?

Or was she originally going to contact the Shangguan family, but was just bumped into by me?

Or is she observing herself?

Li Xiangnan led Song Zimo back to the car, with no answer in his mind. After getting in the car, he reached out to flick the ashes against the window, closed his eyes and quickly integrated all the information he had obtained.

Mu Huanrong came to Yanjing.

Shangguan Wuji had already received the news, and today he took the opportunity of visiting to test his connection with his grandmother and aunt.

Shangguan Wanqing broke her promise to meet at Hongluo Temple.

The fleeting glimpse with Mu Huanrong just now.

It's like putting together a puzzle. Li Xiangnan doesn't have the original sketch, so he can't restore the original pattern at all.

Is Mu Huanrong a friend or an enemy?

What on earth was she doing in Yanjing all of a sudden?

What role did the Shangguan family play back then?

Li Xiangnan opened his eyes, his gaze determined. "Zimo, we must find my aunt as soon as possible! We must contact her before she's found by the Shangguan family or some other powerful force from back then! I have a theory. She might be the key to solving the mystery!"

"southward?"

Before Song Zimo could respond, a timid female voice that could barely conceal her surprise suddenly came from outside.

Li Xiangnan and Song Zimo turned their heads at the same time and saw Shangguan Wanqing standing a few steps away. She was wearing a simple moon-white dress and holding a small medicine bag in her hand. There was a look of surprise on her face as if they had really met here by chance.

"Shangguan Wanqing?" Li Xiangnan was extremely surprised, his eyes moved slightly, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind.

Mu Huanrong didn't show up, but Shangguan Wanqing turned up instead?

Is this a coincidence?

Or is it intentional?

Snapped!

Song Zimo had already opened and closed the door, and subconsciously went to the dark, looking around vigilantly.

Shangguan Wanqing walked forward quickly, with an apologetic blush on her face, and her voice was much lowered, with a barely noticeable hint of haste.

"Li Xiangnan, I...I'm here to get some medicinal tea!"

"Oh?" Li Xiangnan glanced at her hand and confirmed that the bulging contents in the medicine bag were the medicinal tea. However, he still asked cautiously, "Did your father ask you to come?"

"Yes!" Shangguan Wanqing's eyes moved to his face, and suddenly her face flushed again. She apologized, "Hongluo Temple... I'm sorry, it's my fault. I broke the appointment... My father suddenly asked me to go to the old house to do some work. With the housekeeper following me, I really couldn't get away. Did you... did you go?"

Her words were reasonable and her expression was extremely sincere. Her eyes, like autumn water, reflected the sunlight shining on the street, and she looked a little aggrieved and helpless, making it hard for people to blame her.

I waited in Hongluo Temple for a whole day!

Li Xiangnan originally wanted to say the words that he had been holding back for the whole day, but when the words came to his lips, he didn't say them immediately.

He noticed that although Shangguan Wanqing was apologizing to him, there was a subtle hint of nervousness in the depths of her eyes.

Her fingers unconsciously tore at the string of the medicine bag.

This is not just an apology, it is likely to convey a message.

"Miss Shangguan's family affairs are more important!" Li Xiangnan said in a calm tone, without any expression on his face, and no emotion could be seen.

Shangguan Wanqing seemed to be relieved and took another step forward. The faint orchid fragrance on her body instantly filled Li Xiangnan's nose.

"This isn't the place to talk. There's a noodle shop up ahead... Not many people here at this hour... Can we talk for a moment?"

Her voice was so low, almost a whisper, and her words were filled with fear of rejection.

Her request was filled with a desperate courage, as well as the shyness and boldness unique to young girls.

Li Xiangnan knew that Shangguan Wanqing was looking for an opportunity to contact him without telling her father.

He turned around and exchanged glances with Song Zimo. After receiving a nod, he stepped forward and followed him, "Okay!"

The two of them walked to the noodle shop, one in front and one behind. As expected, there were not many people inside at this time.

The two of them chose a corner to sit down. The dim light bulb was shaking above their heads, as if it would fall down at any time.

Shangguan Wanqing ordered a bowl of green pepper noodles and said with concern, "You eat the noodles, I'll talk!"

"Okay!" Li Xiangnan noticed that she was holding a rough tea bowl, with her fingertips showing a bluish-white color.

"Did you meet my father this morning?" she asked suddenly.

Li Xiangnan frowned, "Yes, you just came out of the house?"

"My father asked me to come to the city to get medicine, and I couldn't resist!"

"So you were actually home the whole time?"

Shangguan Wanqing scratched the hem of her skirt, nodded, then suddenly raised her head and hurriedly explained, "Father told me to study and wouldn't let me into the main building."

"Who sent you here?"

"It's the butler! He dropped me off and went to the old house to get something. He'll be back to pick me up in twenty minutes and we'll go home together!"

Li Xiangnan felt a little strange.

It seems that his guess was correct. Shangguan Wuji did create obstacles between his meeting with Shangguan Wanqing.

But why did he ask Shangguan Wanqing to rush into the city immediately after he left?

And then gave his daughter a chance to meet herself?

Or had he miscalculated? Did he not know he would stop here?

But Li Xiangnan always felt that something was wrong.

"Li Xiangnan, my father..." Shangguan Wanqing raised her head, a look of worry in her eyes, "Don't have any contact with my father recently... You have to be careful!"

Her words were intermittent, but she revealed that Shangguan Wuji might be doing something bad to her.

"Thank you for the reminder!" Li Xiangnan looked at her, his tone slowed down a bit, but he didn't hide anything. "Your father was just at home and asked about my grandmother. Does he know her?"

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Wanqing's expression changed slightly, and she subconsciously reached out and grabbed Li Xiangnan's wrist which was on the table.

Her fingers were cold and trembling slightly.

"Did he ask you too? He's been asking me indirectly these past few days... whether I've had a deep conversation with you... Xiangnan, I'm a little scared... I feel like my father has changed..."

Her sudden physical contact and the natural call added a touch of ambiguity and intimacy to the air between the two of them.

Li Xiangnan could clearly feel the slight dampness on her palms and her tension that came with a unique sense of dependence.

"Oh?" These words made Li Xiangnan alert instantly. He did not pull his hand back immediately, but looked at the other party calmly.

After Shangguan Wuji knew that his daughter had contact with him, he began to ask her about the information she got from her daughter?

"What did you say?" he asked, raising his eyebrows.

"I know nothing!" Shangguan Wanqing shook her head firmly.

Li Xiangnan breathed a sigh of relief.

Shangguan Wanqing chose herself between herself and her father.

But what puzzled him was, was the relationship between this father and daughter so bad?

He was suspicious, but suddenly heard a suppressed and nervous question.

"Did you notice anything wrong in the study?"

"Ok?"

What does this mean?

Is there anything wrong in the study?

Li Xiangnan was startled and looked across.

Shangguan Wanqing lowered her eyelids, trembling like butterfly wings. She swallowed and said, "In the study, besides the three of you, can you sense another person?"

"???"
