Nan Xi had an idea and asked: "Hanlian, is embroidery easy to learn? Can you teach me?"

Hanlian's brain works quickly, but her mouth is not as fast as Shaoyao's.

Shaoyao: "Oh, the girl must want to embroider one for me, right?"

Nan Xi did not deny it.

"Master is so kind to me, but I can't afford to give him anything else, and a gift made by myself can express my heart even more."

She simply wanted to express her gratitude, but it was obvious that Hanlian and Shaoyao didn't think so.

Both of them had an expression of seeing through but not telling, especially Shaoyao, whose lips almost reached behind his ears.

Here, the master and servant were studying what to embroider, and over there, the two shadow guards returned to Yongningyuan.

"Master." They knelt down on one knee in front of Li Qingmo.

In the study, Li Qingmo was painting, a picture of a beautiful lady. Isn't it Nan Xi who looks smart and charming?
He was writing the ink very seriously, without raising his head, and said in a deep voice, "Say."

Shadow Guard: "The person who was secretly staring at Miss Nan just now is the young master of the Marquis of Bo'an."

Li Qingmo paused with the pen in his hand and raised his head: "Murong Ce?"

"Did he do anything else?"

"No, Mr. Bo'an Hou saw Miss Nan getting into the carriage with him and left quickly." Shadow Guard replied.

Li Qingmo waved his hand and let the two of them go down.

Xia Rui on the side asked: "Master, do you need my subordinates to check again?"

Li Qingmo pondered for a moment and acquiesced.

Xia Rui turned and left.

Li Qingmo continued to paint, using the tip of his pen to trace the appearance of his sweetheart in detail.

The next day, it was foggy and rainy.

After the autumn rain and the cold, Nan Xi put on his newly made thicker autumn clothes and went out. The oil umbrella in his hand was tilted slightly to cater to the direction of the rain.

"Girl, let us drive you to the government office in a carriage." Han He chased after her.

Nan Xi shook his head, and his voice overlapped with the sound of rain: "No, I'll go for a walk by myself, and the rain isn't too heavy."

She turned around and left without letting Hanlian and Shaoyao follow.

When I passed by Nanji Rice Shop, both the rice shop and the jewelry shop were closed, with a sign saying 'The owner has something to do and is temporarily closed'.

A noble lady stood in front of the jewelry shop, looking at the brand and feeling quite disappointed.

Her back was to Nan Xi, and the two of them almost passed each other. The umbrella in Nan Xi's hand blocked her sight and half of her face.

She trotted to the bun shop in front, and her voice was charming and hearty: "Boss, I want four beef buns."

Because Wen Ying likes to eat, she comes to buy it almost every day.

Bai turned around after hearing the sound, only to see the figure whose face was covered by an umbrella.

"Madam, what's wrong?" Lingyun, the maid holding an umbrella next to her, asked.

Bai shook his head: "Nothing."

I just thought that little girl's voice was very kind.

"Go and find out what happened to the owner of this jewelry shop?" Bai said.

Then he got on the carriage next to him.

"Yes, madam." Lingyun turned around and went into other nearby shops, and then returned quickly: "Madam, the clerk at the silk and satin shop said that the proprietress of the jewelry shop fell off a cliff and died. They have to hold a funeral. It seems that it will be held in a short time. It’s impossible to do business inside.”

Bai was slightly startled: "That's right, let's come back some time later."

Although she was really anxious and wanted to know where the pair of bracelets came from, it was better not to disturb others at this time.

"Go back home." Bai said.

Lingyun looked forward and said, "Madam, Miss's new store is right in front, don't you go and have a look?" "No, go back." Bai closed her eyes, as if she didn't want to talk anymore.

Lingyun said "yes", closed her umbrella and got into the carriage.

……

At the Jingzhao Yin Mansion, Nan Xi handed the beef buns to Wen Ying.

"Did you find anything yesterday?" Nan Xi asked.

Wen Ying is now accustomed to skipping breakfast and waiting for Nan Xi's steamed buns.

She finished a bun in three mouthfuls, and her eating posture showed no trace of female restraint, "No."

"Huh?" Nan Xi didn't keep up with her pace.

Wen Ying swallowed the bun in her mouth and spoke clearly: "Nothing was found. There is no doubt on the cliff, and no one saw Jiang Wan fall off the cliff. As for who took away her belongings , it’s unclear at the moment.”

Since the last time, Zhang Captou has also worked hard to repair his relationship with everyone, taking the initiative to enter the topic every time.

"Well, the current case does not rule out the possibility of robbery and murder. Speaking of which, the Nan family father and son are also strange. No one can tell how much money Jiang Wan has with her. She cries when asked. I have never seen a man who can cry like this."

After he finished speaking, he remembered the relationship between Nan Xi and the Nan family. He regretted that he had ignored other people's feelings and apologized quickly: "I'm sorry, Nan Xi, I..."

"I told you that you don't have to worry about me. I'm really fine."

Even though Nan Xi said this, others still agreed that she was pretending to be strong.

Ugh!
What a good woman. Although her life experience was a bit miserable, she was optimistic and had a positive attitude. No wonder even the regent felt affection for her and accepted her as his disciple.

Nan Xi: "..."

Forget it, let’s talk about the case.

"Where were the Nan family father and son when the crime occurred? Have they been checked?" she asked.

First eliminate the suspicion of the people around the deceased. This is the most basic thing in a murder case.

Wen Ying said: "Nan Mingkun was sleeping in the room of a girl named Shuangxi in Lijiang Garden. As for Nan Huaidong, he went to purchase goods. When Zhang Captou and the others found him, he had just returned from abroad."

Nan Xi frowned: "That's wrong."

"What's wrong?" Wen Ying swallowed another bun.

Everyone's eyes also turned towards him.

Nan Xi said: "Jiang Wan loves money very much and is suspicious. Even if she hires a man, she cannot fully trust her. Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for her to leave to worship at the Temple of Wealth without the Nan family and her son."

Wen Ying narrowed her eyes slightly, thought for a moment, and said, "Nan Mingkun is in a brothel. Many people can confirm this. So, is Nan Huaidong lying?"

A government official asked: "What's the purpose? Why did he lie?"

Zhang Captou guessed: "To cover up something ulterior, or to clear away suspicion."

The case suddenly became clear.

Tang Jingzong ordered: "Bring Nan Huaidong back."

"Yes, my lord."

When Nan Huaidong was found, he was negotiating prices in a coffin shop.

"Captain Zhang, have you made a mistake? My wife is dead now, why did you come to arrest me? Will I still harm my own wife?"

Zhang Captou snorted coldly: "Are you going to ask for evidence? The adults are asking you to question you now. If you know what's going on, just follow us honestly and don't force us to use violence."

Nan Huaidong started wiping away tears again. When leaving with Zhang Captou and the others, he did not forget to tell the owner of the coffin shop: "We have agreed on the price just now. I will give you the money when I come back."

"Fine, medium, fair." The owner of the coffin shop was too lazy to return the price.

Hey, I have never seen anyone bargaining for a coffin for his wife.

But this man is really miserable. His wife fell to death when she went to worship the God of Wealth. No wonder she cried so sadly.
