The little heroine investigates a mysterious case

After choosing for a long time, Zhao Xuan finally picked a dumpling restaurant. Her favorite food is dumplings, especially those filled with leeks and eggs.

The master can't cook any other food except making dumplings. Whenever the master feels like eating dumplings, that must be when Qingfengyuan is the busiest and most crowded.

Uncle Guo was responsible for picking the leeks, Uncle Wang Sheng was responsible for kneading the dough, Aunt Lan and his current adoptive father Huang Shuo were responsible for beating the eggs and mixing the stuffing, and the rest of the work of rolling out the dough and making dumplings was done by the master alone.

As for her, she was making trouble and stealing the dough rolled by the master, trying to learn how to make dumplings. But she couldn't make them well. Either the filling leaked out or the filling leaked out. So the master slapped her on the butt! It didn't hurt at all!

She ran away with a smile, and in the end she would always secretly find an opportunity to throw the dumplings with leaking fillings into the pot to cook together. The master even praised her, saying that this was a good way to make the dumpling soup more flavorful!

How she wished her master would hit her again and praise her again, but she would never be hit by her master, nor would she hear his praise again.

Later, she and Huang Shuo fled to Heyan Village and lived a very hard life. But every time it was the anniversary of their master's death, she and Huang Shuo would use the money they had saved that year to buy good white flour, make dumplings, and bring them to Qingshan Valley to eat with their master, as if their master was still alive.

Later, she became the head of Jiaoyang Valley. Her life was not much better, but whenever there was a happy event in the valley, she always liked to gather everyone together to drink, chat and eat dumplings.

She hasn't had a good meal of dumplings for a long time.

The three of them sat down in the dumpling restaurant. Zhao Xuan ordered dumplings stuffed with leeks and eggs, and two cold dishes.

After the guy left, Zhao Xuan noticed that Gu Zhanghua turned his head away and refused to look at Hao Xiong. Hao Xiong helplessly spread his hands towards Zhao Xuan and shook his head.

Zhao Xuan pulled Gu Zhanghua's arm.

"Don't be angry with him! He's a jerk! How do you want to deal with him? Let's go back home and do it slowly. Don't get yourself angry. It's not worth it."

Gu Zhanghua still turned his head away: "I just don't want to see him! Just thinking about it makes me angry!"

"Then don't even think about it! Wasn't he fine just now?"

Hao Xiong had already understood by now. His sister had just told him that she had revealed her identity in order to gain the trust of the virtuous king. She had to take the virtuous king to Jiaoyang Valley early the next morning to handle important matters. He regretted it deeply. It was all his fault for his impulsiveness. Now that the virtuous king was ignoring him, his sister was in a difficult position, caught in the middle.

Hao Xiong thought that a real man is one who can bend and stretch, and it is not difficult to take the initiative to please the wise king.

Hao Xiong stood up, walked to Gu Zhanghua, bowed deeply to Gu Zhanghua, and then cupped his hands.

"Brother-in-law! A great man should not bear grudges against a small man! I am here to apologize to you!"

Gu Zhanghua glared at Hao Xiong: "Who is your brother-in-law?!"

Hao Xiong's mouth corners were almost stretched to his ears, and his smile was so flattering.

"Brother-in-law, I originally wanted to find a rich husband for my sister, so I set my sights on you, but I really didn't mean to take advantage of you!"

Zhao Xuan twisted Hao Xiong's arm vigorously: "You still want to talk?!"

Gu Zhanghua snorted coldly: "Let him talk, I want to see what he can say."

Hao Xiong covered his arm, not daring to cry out in pain, and gritted his teeth to slow down.

"Sister, you're so cruel! I'm doing this all for your own good! Can't you just treat that wedding as a rehearsal? People have to rehearse for a while just to watch the flowing water dance! Besides, aren't you two really a couple now? What's there to get over? Can't you just let it go? You can be mad at me, but you can't be mad at God. This is all God's arrangement. Am I wrong?"

Hao Xiong's twisted logic really confused Gu Zhanghua. If this wasn't fate, what was it? He and the boss, two people who had nothing in common, were really arranged by heaven. From the beginning of their relationship in Jiaoyang Valley, they had overcome so many difficulties and finally became a family.

Moreover, the boss and her brother seem to have a good relationship. He keeps holding on to old things and seems a bit too serious.

Gu Zhanghua was finally willing to look Hao Xiong in the eye. He pointed at the empty stool opposite with his folding fan and said, "Sit down and talk."

Hao Xiong was overjoyed and sat down quickly: "Thank you, brother-in-law!"

Hao Xiong called him brother-in-law smoothly, but it made Zhao Xuan upset. She and Gu Zhanghua were a fake couple, and the future was worrying. If things went wrong, she would have to stage a death escape to get out. Now she really couldn't bear to hear anyone confirm their relationship as husband and wife.

Zhao Xuan stretched out her leg and kicked the leg of the stool, and Hao Xiong fell to the ground with a thud.

"Sister! Why are you bullying me again?"

"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, brother-in-law? Will you die if you don't call me brother-in-law?!"

When Hao Xiong heard this, he really got excited. He straightened the stool, sat on it, and looked at Zhao Xuan seriously.

"I just don't understand. If not brother-in-law, what should I call him? Sister, how about you teach me?"

"You can call me Prince!"

Hao Xiong chuckled, "Then I have to tell you something. We're going back to Jiaoyang Valley incognito, right? Jiaoyang Valley still carries the stigma of Yanwangzhai. Can I call him "Prince" all the way and bring him back to Jiaoyang Valley?"

At this time, the waiter brought two plates of cold dishes, and the three of them immediately shut up.

After the servants left, Gu Zhanghua looked at Hao Xiong and said with certainty, "You are Hao Xiong, the one who gave advice to your boss and pretended to be the Princess of Yue!"

Hao Xiong slammed the table and said, "Yes, I haven't introduced myself to my brother-in-law yet! You guessed it right, I am Hao Xiong!"

Gu Zhanghua looked at Zhao Xuan and made the final decision, "He's right. You can't reveal your identities along the way, and neither can I. Otherwise, we might not be able to leave Liyang City, let alone reach Jiaoyang Valley. Just call me brother-in-law, there's nothing wrong with that."

Zhao Xuan no longer insisted: "Alright, since you don't find it uncomfortable, I don't mind."

After Zhao Xuan finished speaking, she picked up her chopsticks and went to pick up the smashed cucumber. Coincidentally, Gu Zhanghua picked up his chopsticks and also went to pick up the cucumber. Their chopsticks hit each other with a "click" sound.

Hao Xiong, who was sitting opposite the two of them, laughed out loud: "What a tacit understanding!"

Zhao Xuan was thick-skinned and not affected at all. Instead, she cursed Hao Xiong: "You can't even shut your mouth after eating!"

But Gu Zhanghua was a little nervous because of Hao Xiong's words.

Under the candlelight, Zhao Xuan's face was glowing with a soft pink light, her big black eyes were bright and clear, her hair was tied in a simple bun with a jade hairpin inserted, and her rosy lips were like a delicate and tempting little flower bud about to bloom.

Although Zhao Xuan was eating the food with big mouthfuls at this time, Gu Zhanghua thought she looked a little cute!

The waiter came over and brought two plates of dumplings. Zhao Xuan's appetite was immediately aroused. Without even picking up the chopsticks, she directly reached out, picked up a dumpling and stuffed it into her mouth, while not forgetting to urge Gu Zhanghua.

"Eat quickly! What are you daydreaming about?"

Gu Zhanghua finally came to his senses, alarm bells ringing in his heart. This person was a bandit leader. Even if he was a good bandit leader, he was still a bandit! He could cooperate with her, but he must not have any unreasonable expectations!

Back then, when Third Brother insisted on marrying a singing girl, Father was so angry he didn't eat for three days. If he really fell in love with a bandit leader, and Father knew about it, wouldn't he be killed?!
