Chapter 75 Ask
"With all due respect, what do you want to talk to me about?" When he walked to Yuan Chen, he had finished eating the candied haws in his hand, and Xinnuo tapped his elbow with a bare wooden stick.

Yuan Chen glanced suspiciously, and Xin Nuo said, "Stretch out your hand."

Then the candied haws stick was placed on his palm.

Yuan Chen:---
Although he came from a difficult childhood, he was never treated as a servant.

This girl really likes to bully people.

He threw the stick in his hand into a bamboo basket with waste paper in the room, wiped his hands and said, "Come in and talk."

The room is very elegantly decorated, with rosewood tables and chairs, ancient paintings, pearl curtains, and agarwood lingering on the table in the middle. It is said to be a guest room, but it seems like someone lives here often.

Xinnuo didn't look around much, just looked at what he could see, walked to the stool next to the round table and sat down.

Yuan Chen raised his fan, and three maids walked in from the door, carrying tea on one side, candied fruits on the other, and seasonal fruits on the other side.

There are pink and yellow loquats in the middle of three big pears, and there is also a small plate of peeled lychees chilled with ice cubes.

Xinnuo picked up a lychee and put it into his mouth. It was sweet, slightly cool, and full of lychee aroma.

This small dish would only cost dozens of taels of silver.

Xin Nuo ate another loquat, and then said: "If you have anything to say, just say it, I know everything I know."

Yuan Chen held his chin with one hand, thinking that this girl knew how to eat, but unexpectedly she turned out to be a smart and righteous person.

He sat upright and handed the fan in his hand to Xinnuo, "I dare to ask, is what your old man said that day true? Is this something from your childhood?"

Xin Nuo spat out the lychee core, which she didn't intend to say at first, but seeing how much the second senior brother valued the cat's eye stone fan pendant, she made some guesses.

On the one hand, it was a coincidence that the little beggar she casually threw to him back then turned out to be the second senior brother.

But he obviously took this as Cheng Xueyao's. Although he didn't know why there was such a misunderstanding, Xinnuo was very disgusted with this kind of ostentation, so he didn't want to explain it that way at the time.

Anyway, she didn't deliberately show favors and seek repayment. This kindness was the business of whomever Yuan Chen was willing to repay.

However, I didn't expect him to care so much, and he would come directly to ask her face to face.

If he thought about it from another angle, he asked himself whether he would believe Cheng Xueyao was the person back then if he didn't ask Cheng Xueyao. He was worried that asking like this would hurt the friendship.

Thinking of this, Xinnuo ate these delicious pastries and fruits without any courtesy at all. While eating, he took his fan and looked at the cat's eye stone fan pendant carefully, and said: "It's mine, it's my small mirror." It was broken, so I couldn't bear to take it, so I threw it to a little beggar on the roadside. I thought my grandpa was wrong that day, why is it in your hands? "

These words struck Yuan Chen's heart more accurately than the last one. He looked at Xin Nuo with his deep eyes for a while and said, "This is a very important issue to me. Please don't talk nonsense, Miss Cheng Er."

Xinnuo put down the pendant and said, "Why did I lie to you? My small mirror was given by an elder in my family. If you have any doubts, I will introduce you to him."

Yuan Chen nodded.

Xinnuo: "You are not the little beggar you were back then, are you? Is it so unbelievable that I gave it to you? Let me guess, did you admit that the person who gave you this cat's eye stone was wrong before, and why is it so difficult to accept it now?"

Yuan Chen's face was slightly green, and his chest was obviously rising and falling unsteadily.

Seeing that he was so angry, Xin Nuo wanted to laugh, curled his lips and said: "The person who gave me the small mirror is called Hong He, and he is known as Shopkeeper Hong. There is a Hong He seafood store in Beicheng opened by him. It just so happens that he You should be able to find someone in the capital recently."

Yuan Chen looked at Xin Nuo with strange eyes, "Do you know Hong He?"

Xinnuo yelled secretly.

Uncle Hong and Master are also good friends. He has a shop in the capital, and Master will definitely introduce Second Senior Brother to shopkeeper Hong.

This time, didn't he clearly say that he and the second senior brother may also be acquaintances?
She was guilty of being a thief, but Yuan Chen hadn't thought of that yet, and only smiled lightly: "That's a coincidence."

Now Yuan Chen wonders how much research Miss Cheng Er, who came back later, had done on him, otherwise everything would have a sense of coincidence.

This made him dispel some of his doubts about Cheng Xueyao.

"Second Miss, you eat slowly," Yuan Chen stood up, his light gray clothes brushing against the stool and tabletop, giving people a very gentle feeling, but his voice was not gentle at all, "I will follow your instructions. As you said, ask Shopkeeper Hong. If you lie, I will have my own way to deal with it."

Xin Nuo was not surprised or sad by the harsh words. He waved his hand and said: "Go ahead, go ahead."

Yuan Chen looked at her deeply, then walked away. Before he reached the door, he heard the girl say again: "Do you need me to wait here for you to come back?"

Yuan Chen turned around, glanced at her, and said, "If it's convenient for the girl, I'll be in trouble."

"Convenient," Xin Nuo looked at the small plate of lychees that she had already finished, "I'm hungry. Can you please ask your servants to order some delicious dishes for me from the Zhen Gourmet Pavilion on the next street? By the way, I like sweet and sour ones.”

It was so rude, as if someone had promised to order food for her.

In fact, Xin Nuo heard from his master that the Zhen Gourmet Pavilion opened by his second senior brother would be a waste of money today.

This girl must have asked about him.

Yuan Chen became more suspicious of her. When he went out, he said to Qing Feng who was standing aside: "Go to Zhenxi Pavilion and order a cherry mat for her."

The so-called cherry mat is a high-quality mat that uses cherries as a raw material and is made into a cherry-shaped eight-meat, eight-vegetarian, and eight-fruit dish.

Before Yuan Chen left, he looked back.

There is always a one in [-] chance that she is the little girl whose back he only saw, so he gave her a first-class seat.

If it was proven that she had said something through hearsay and deliberately acted like this to drive a wedge between him and Yao'er, he would have many ways to make her suffer.

It took more than half an hour for Yuan Chen to return after leaving.

The person who came back looked the same as the one who left at the beginning, but Xinnuo, who had eaten and drank enough and was slowly sipping tea, looked up and found that this person's eyes were distracted.

It's not that serious.

She herself didn't care that the second senior brother admitted the wrong person and took such good care of Cheng Xueyao.

"Are you okay?" Putting down the tea cup, Xinnuo stood up and came to Yuan Chen, waving his hand in front of him.

Then the waving arm was caught by a big hand. Yuan Chen subconsciously treated her with disgust. Just as he frowned, he remembered what he heard from shopkeeper Hong.
