Chapter 8:

Qin Xin couldn't forget the humiliating life of the previous life.
Since her rebirth, she has always remembered that day, the day Qin Jiao was brought to her.
Since then, she has ceased to be a daughter of a housewife.
She became the daughter of sinners.
It was Qin Jiu who ruined her life!
In the first few years after rebirth, Qin Xin would still be a nightmare at night, afraid that that day would come.
She remembers Qin Jiu's face all the time!
Unforgettable.
Xiao Er quickly cleaned up the mess on the ground. Qin Xin looked at the girl at the next table in a daze and sat back again, still facing her back, and was wiping the soup on her shoulders with her kerchief. His movements were not large, and he never turned his face back.
"Xin'er?" Seeing her look a little strange, the second prince Gu Jing asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Qin Xin grinned reluctantly and said, "I was taken aback just now. Fortunately, that girl is fine, otherwise the soup will be hot when I think about it."
"Xin'er, you." Gu Jing's lips twitched, and he shook his head with a chuckle, with a look of helplessness and pampering.
His Xin'er is so gentle and kind.
"You are always so considerate of others. When do you come to be considerate of your fiance." Gu Jing stared at her scorchingly, her narrow and affectionate eyes seemed to reflect only her.
A faint red glow appeared on Qin Xin's cheeks, and his heart became more disturbed.
It is not easy for her to get all this now, and she does not want to be ruined by anyone!
In the previous life, Qin Jiao took everything from her. In this life, would Qin Jiao still come to hinder her? !
Qin Xin's slender eyelashes were lowered, and his eyes flickered brightly and darkly.
Xiao Er started to eat, the craftsmanship in Zuifenglou was indeed good, but Qin Xin was absent-mindedly eating this meal.
Qin Xin couldn't help but look in the direction of that table, but he never had a chance to see the girl's face again. He could only judge from the back of the other person. The girl should be 13 or 4 years old.
Is it really "her"?
Seeing that the two people at the next table went downstairs after eating, Qin Xin was a little anxious, and wanted to suggest to Gu Jing that they should go too, but when he heard that, the urging was obviously too abrupt and deliberate.
Qin Xin was anxious to become wise, and pointed to the table of Qin Jiu just now, and said, "Second Young Master, have you noticed the appearance of that Young Master just familiar?"
"Familiar?" Gu Jing didn't pay attention.
"It seems to be somewhat similar to the third son of the Duan Palace." Qin Xin's hesitant expression was just right when he said this.
Gu Jing didn't pay attention to Xiao Ze just now, and now he recalled it carefully, and couldn't help thinking. The appearance of the young man in Tsing Yi seemed to be a bit like the third son of Duan Wang.
Duan Wang Gu Xiao is the feudal king who guards the northern states, and he is also the emperor of today, holding a heavy soldier.
The feudal lords were not allowed to enter the capital without edicts, and Gu Jing met only a few times.
Nine years ago, when the emperor was on his thirtieth birthday, King Duan brought his son and two sons to the capital.
At that time, the emperor asked his brother Su Wang to entertain the three brothers of Duan Wang Shizi. Gu Jing only met the third son of Duan Wang Gu Zezhi not far from the royal study room and palace banquets.
When Gu Zezhi was ten years old, he should be nineteen now, and his appearance is somewhat different from when he was young.
Gu Jing's eyes flashed, and he quickly got up and ran to the window to look down, but the two of them had already gone far, and he could only see their backs from a distance.
"Xin'er, have you seen it clearly?" Gu Jing turned to ask Qin Xin.
Qin Xin shook his head, "Just when they went down the stairs, they saw it. Maybe I was wrong."
Gu Jing's right hand subconsciously grasped the window threshold, his eyes were deep, his thoughts flew.
Duanwang Mansion can be described as turbulent in recent years, which originated from the controversy between concubines and concubines.
The concubine Duan had a difficult heir. After 20 years of marriage with the king, Duan did not give birth to a son. The king was reluctant to establish his eldest son at the age of thirty-five. No one thought that the following year, Princess Duan actually became pregnant, and the old clam gave birth to a son, Gu Zezhi, for King Duan.
As a result, the situation in Duanwangfu was a bit embarrassing.
Duan Wang Shizi has no fault, even Duan Wang can't say that the deceased child is the deceased child, let alone Gu Zezhi's young, it is difficult to say whether he can live and grow up.
At the beginning of this year, Gu Jing accidentally heard the emperor talk to the great beside him that he wanted to call Gu Zezhi to study in the capital. He also said that when Gu Zezhi came, he would take an exam for school. Is orthodox.
At the moment, Gu Jing quietly sent a letter to Wang Shizi to reveal the news, in order to show his favor to the other party.
Gu Jing frowned slightly, her thin lips tightened.
Qin Xin looked at Gu Jing's expression and came up with an idea: "Do you want to send someone to follow it?"
Gu Jing refused without even thinking about it: "Nothing."
If the person just now was really Gu Zezhi, that would mean that Prince Duan didn't do it? This prince is too soft-hearted, not like a person who makes big things...
He has to think about who is the more suitable partner for cooperation.
Gu Jing's answer was in Qin Xin's expectation, so she changed her words: "Second son, my jade pendant is missing. It is the piece that my grandmother specially went to Huangjue Temple to ask for me before leaving Beijing."
Gu Jing looked at her and raised her eyebrows.
Qin Xin blinked at him and continued: "Jade Pei was still there just now, but he disappeared after being hit by someone. Who stole Xu?"
Qin Xin said it was unclear, but Gu Jing understood it all at once.
It is not difficult to know if the man just now is Gu Zezhi, just find a reason to check the way.
The two exchanged a tacit look.
Gu Jing groaned and said, "The public security in Qingyun County is really bad. Dongshun, you take my token to the county office."
Dongshun is Gu Jing's personal servant, who understands the master's mind best, and hurriedly rushed to the county office with Gu Jing's token.
Thus, the magistrate of Qingyun County knew that the second prince’s fiancee had lost a piece of jade in the county.
The county magistrate panicked immediately.
Since Shengjia came to Jianglin Palace, as a magistrate, he lived trembling every day, for fear that something went wrong, and the black hat was not guaranteed. Unexpectedly, something really happened!
In order to make up for the failure, the county magistrate immediately stated that he would send an official to search for the culprits.
"Master Zhang," Dongshun said with a sharp throat, "His Royal Highness does not want to disturb the people for a piece of jade."
The county magistrate Zhang understood, and hurriedly said, "Then the officer will let someone go and investigate in secret."
Dongshun left the errand after finishing the errand, and the county magistrate Zhang quickly called the team leader to give one or two instructions, and he ordered the official to investigate.
The clues Dongshun gave were limited, except that the little thief who stole the jade pendant was not a local, and was very young. He had no other clues, not even a portrait.
This made Yacha's brains awful. In the end, they decided to focus on the inn and check all the residents one by one.
Not long after, many rampant government officials appeared in the streets and alleys of Qingyun County.
In the Fragrant Tea House facing the street, Qin Jiao looked a little ugly at the yacha passing on the street.
She stopped the tea boy who was passing by and asked with a smile, "What's going on outside, why is it so noisy?"
"The bad guys are investigating foreigners." The tea boy was obviously asked by several guests, and the answer was very smooth, "Shengjia is now in Jianglin Palace, and he can't go on any business trips."
In the tea boy's view, the government officials are rectifying Xiaoxiao and ensuring public order, which is of course a good thing.
Qin Jiao asked curiously: "Have you checked it a few days ago?"
"I checked it before Shengjia arrived." Cha Tong must answer all questions, "Guest, do you need anything else?"
Qin Jiu ordered another plate of fried melon seeds, gave the tea boy two copper plates, and then sent him away.
She got a message from the tea boy that the interrogation like this is not a common practice, it was only checked once before Shengjia arrived.
Therefore, today's interrogation is quite different, but it is so coincidental that it happened after she met Qin Xin by chance today.
This is mostly for yourself!
When I was in Zuifeng Building, Qin Jiu noticed Qin Xin’s eyes from time to time. After leaving, she did not go back to the inn directly, but took Xiao Ze to find this teahouse and sit down together, wanting to see It depends on the situation.
It's a good spirit!
She just showed her face behind Wei Huang, and now is definitely not a good time for the heroine to discover her.
Or, let's run around overnight, right? Let's talk after leaving Qingyun County.
She thought about it for a while, and rejected the idea.
Obviously, Qin Xin hasn't determined his identity yet, otherwise, it wouldn't be the government officials who are investigating now. If you run away, you will only be passive.
Qin Jiao held her cheek in her left hand and touched the melon seeds with her right hand. The more she thought about it, the more anxious she became. Before she knew it, she wiped out a small plate of melon seeds.
She raised her hand to order the tea boy to serve another plate. At this time, Xiao Ze, who was enjoying the tea leisurely, said warmly, "Do you want to help?"
The calm and relaxed look seemed to be very clear that Qin Jiu was in trouble.
Qin Jiao slanted at him lazily, "Will you be so kind?"
Xiao Ze smiled lightly, like a gentle spring breeze blowing across the earth, and said: "Mutual benefit."
He changed his seat, sat next to Qin Jiu, and hooked his index finger at her. The black jade eyes were exceptionally clear and bright.
Qin Jiu leaned his head together.
Soon, Qin Jiu's eyes lit up.
