Your Majesty, Madam, she is not a human being

Chapter 17 Song Jiyang’s help
"I want you to help me investigate the Huo family, especially Huo Qidong, my parents and my grandfather." Huo Qingluan put down the tea cup and stared at Song Jiyang, "The more detailed the better."

Song Jiyang was a little surprised when he heard this. Huo Qidong still understood, but what was he trying to do by investigating three dead people?
He couldn't help but take a closer look at the girl. She had delicate features and fair skin. Although there was an ugly scar on her face, her beauty and delicacy could not be concealed at all.

Song Jiyang's eyes were dark and his voice was hoarse: "I won't ask you why, but how are you going to repay me? Huh?"

"What do you want?" Huo Qingluan looked at Song Jiyang and asked, then lowered his head and thought about something.

Song Jiyang looked at the girl's lowered head, with a long and slender hand supporting her chin thoughtfully. There was actually a kind of charm in it, as if it could tug at people's heartstrings.

That’s all, it’s not appropriate yet.

"Can you please spend time with me the next day?" Song Jiyang suppressed the restlessness in his heart and took a deep breath and said.

"Deal." Huo Qingluan raised his lips and smiled, then picked up the tea cup on the table and took another sip.

Her cheerful attitude made Song Jiyang feel strange, "Aren't you afraid that I will make any excessive demands?"

Huo Qingluan blinked, then tilted his head and said, "Excessive demands? Are Mr. Song going to sell me?"

"What do you think?" Song Jiyang asked with a smile, an evil light shining in his eyes.

"Then you will be disappointed. I will not sell myself. After all..." Huo Qingluan deliberately prolonged his voice before saying, "After all, I have a fiancée."

evildoer.

Song Jiyang watched the girl's eyes flutter and her heart beat faster. He unexpectedly approached Huo Qingluan like a ghost, stretched out his hand to hold her forehead, bent down and kissed the chattering little mouth.

"Well."

There was a crisp "pop" sound, and along with Song Jiyang's groan of pain, there was a palm print on his face.

"Bastard!" Huo Qingluan pushed Song Jiyang away, stood up, took out a dagger from his sleeve, and stabbed Song Jiyang: "Song Jiyang, you are looking for death!"

Song Jiyang immediately stepped back and dodged narrowly.

"Let me tell you, what happened today is only once. If you dare to touch me again next time, believe it or not, I will castrate you directly!" Huo Qingluan clenched his fists and warned through gritted teeth. It looked like that As if he was going to kill someone.

Song Jiyang was not afraid of this little pepper at all. He raised his eyebrows and said, "I am your fiancé and your future husband. If you castrate me, you will not be happy in the future."

"You..." Huo Qingluan was so angry that he raised his knife and was about to rush over, but Song Jiyang grabbed his wrist.

"Let me go!" Huo Qingluan stared at him coldly, "Song Jiyang, don't mess with me!"

"Yes, yes, don't be angry, eh?" Song Jiyang begged for mercy. He found that he was so intimidated when facing this girl, it was so embarrassing.

"let me go."

"Okay." Song Jiyang let go of her and rubbed the place where he had just held her hand with his fingertips. The smooth and soft touch made him reluctant to let go.

"You know what's going on!" Huo Qingluan glared at him, then took back the knife, sat down again, picked up the tea cup and drank slowly.

"Why did you come to me?" Huo Qingluan suddenly asked while drinking tea.

"Of course I'm helping you!" Song Jiyang responded matter-of-factly.

"Oh, thank you!"

"..."

Song Jiyang was suddenly speechless.

This woman really doesn't play by the rules.

"Where are you going to stay after you come out of Huo Mansion?" Song Jiyang took a teapot, poured himself a cup of tea, and began to taste it.

"I don't know." Huo Qingluan was also thinking about this problem. "Go to Zuixian Tower to stay for one night, and go to Yaxing tomorrow to ask." It's not that Huo Qingluan doesn't have a house, but that those houses have been rented for a long time. Once you get out, you can't just kick people out for no reason.

"I do have an apartment over there in the West Market. There are few people and it's very quiet. Why don't you consider it?" Song Jiyang suggested.

Huo Qingluan thought for a while, then nodded.

Seeing this, Song Jiyang raised his lips and smiled softly, revealing a row of neat white teeth: "Let's go, I will take you to see."

Huo Qingluan glanced at Song Jiyang suspiciously, and then followed him out of here.

……

"Where?" Huo Qingluan looked at the gradually thinning crowd, which was gradually leaving Dongshi.

Whether in his original life or now, Huo Qingluan has never been to West Market.

"It's coming soon."

The carriage entered an alley, turned a corner, and saw a house in front of it.

Huo Qingluan glanced around. This was a single-family courtyard with towering walls and trees on both sides. The green shade was rich and the environment was very elegant.

"Come down." Song Jiyang helped Huo Qingluan down, and Xiaocui followed them quietly.When there are other people around, she stays silent most of the time. She will only say a few words when she and the lady are alone.

After Ling Gang opened the door, he walked in the same row as Xiao Cui.The four of them walked into the yard, two in front and two in back.

Huo Qingluan looked around and finally stopped under a big tree.

This tree requires six or seven people to surround it. Its branches and leaves are so lush that it blocks half of the sky.There is a stone table and bench under the tree, as well as two round stone piers, which are very elegant.

"Do you like it here?" Song Jiyang asked with a slight smile.

"Yeah." Huo Qingluan nodded.She is not a pretentious person, and she is not interested in seeing the furnishings in the house.

What she likes is this place, this quiet and comfortable place.

"Since you like it, then live here." Song Jiyang said with a faint smile. He knew that Huo Qingluan would like this place.

"Okay." Huo Qingluan agreed readily, "How much will it cost?"

"What money?" Song Jiyang frowned.

"rent."

"..." Song Jiyang was a little confused about whether to laugh or cry, but looking at Huo Qingluan's serious look, he finally stretched out a finger and said, "One tael of silver."

Huo Qingluan had no idea about prices, so he could only look at Xiaocui. Seeing her nodding, Huo Qingluan turned to Song Jiyang and said, "Okay."

After the discussion, Huo Qingluan asked Xiaocui to pay one year's rent at once, and then told Song Jiyang to send someone to clean every three to five days.

In her words: "Anyway, you have to hire those maids and boys to clean it up. It's like buying one and getting one free."

Song Jiyang couldn't help laughing after hearing this, "Well, let me thank you first for those servants."

"Why are you so polite? Who told us to have a private life-long engagement?" Huo Qingluan said with an unceremonious smile, and at the end he specifically added, "But there is no engagement contract, so it is at best a verbal commitment."

"Coming soon." Song Jiyang said carelessly, and then changed the subject, "Let's go, I'll take you to get familiar with it."
