Mei ‘er presented the small cloth bag with both hands and saluted. She said softly, “”Young master Xu, this servant will take her leave.”
“Wait!”
Xu Qi ‘an took the cloth bag, but didn’t open it. He looked at the pretty little servant girl and asked, ‘”Where is your home?”
“This servant’s home is in Jiao Shi County ,” Mei ‘er said softly.
Jiao Shi County was in the northeast of the capital. If one set off from the North and hired a carriage, they could reach it in two days.
Mei ‘er was not the descendant of an official. She was sold to the Imperial Academy by her family.
Maidservants like her who were sold to the education workshop of the capital were usually from the poor families in the capital or around the capital. It was impossible for someone to come all the way to the capital to sell their daughter. With this money, there was no need to sell their daughter.
As for her parents, they had sold her to the Academy Square out of helplessness. During the disaster that year, the whole family could barely afford to eat porridge. If they sold her, they would at least have a way out.
Even if Fu Xiang had left her some silver, the Imperial Academy would definitely extort her when she was trying to redeem herself. She was a weak woman, and if she brought back too little silver, her family would probably not treat her well
Xu Qi ‘an pondered for a moment when he saw her plain clothes. He reached into his arms and gently knocked on the mirror. He took out a Silver Note worth fifty taels and handed it to her.
“Young master Xu, I can’t take it.” Mei ‘er shook her head repeatedly.
“You and fuxiang are master and servant, so it’s only right that I do my part.” Xu Qi ‘an said with a smile.
Mei ‘er’s eyes were filled with tears, and she sobbed, “‘When Lady Fu Xiang was sick, this servant hated you in my heart, hated you for being heartless. This servant is wrong, you are a man with true feelings. Lady Fu Xiang has a poor life and no good fortune ……”
Xu Qi ‘an was a little embarrassed. He had known that Fu Xiang was seriously ill, but he had not thought of how to face her.
As for her identity, since Zhong Li pointed out that the other party’s soul was incomplete, as an old Criminal Police officer, he had connected many of his previous doubts.
For example, how did the demon race know that he was bound by luck … For example. why did the demon race hide Shen Shu’s broken hand in his house
Normally speaking, it was impossible for a person with an incomplete divine soul to be either demented or in a vegetative state for no good reason. After sending Mei ‘er off, Xu Qi’ an sat in the outer hall and opened the package.
There were two letters, a book, and a Yellow Jade Bracelet.
One of the letters was written when he went to Yunzhou and passed by Qingzhou. One was written in huangyou County, Jiang Zhou, when he was on his way to Chu Zhou to investigate the case.
Xu Qi ‘an was about to put down the bracelet and the two letters when he suddenly felt that something was wrong. He opened the letter in Qingzhou and poured out a dry and wrinkled lotus petal.
Xu Qi ‘an, who had only felt a little sad about Fu Xiang’s death, suddenly felt suffocated.
So from the start, I’ve only given you this …
He opened the letter and read it silently. The bitterness in his heart did not dissipate for a long time as he recalled his past with the courtesan.
In the past, when he was browsing the forum, he had heard people say that the real deep sadness was not an explosive cry, but the half-box of milk in the refrigerator, the green silk on the window sill that was slightly swaying in the wind, the quilt that was folded on the bed, and the noise from the washing machine in the quiet afternoon.
Taking a deep breath, he carefully put away the envelope and bracelet, and turned his attention to the book.
There was no title on the Blue Book cover. After opening it, he realized that it was an essay written by Fu Xiang. The handwriting was beautiful and it recorded some strange stories.
According to the book, there was an old Eagle living on a cliff that reached the clouds. The Eagle had six children. One day, the Eagle’s children were bullied, and he came back to the Eagle to cry.
Eagle didn’t care, he just stood on the cliff and looked at the ground.
And so, the Eagle’s child flew away and never returned.
At the bottom of the cliff was a dangerous jungle. There was a tiger in the jungle. The Tiger was sick and could no longer hunt for prey. Therefore, it sent its subordinate Fox to lure small animals into the cave to satisfy the Tiger’s appetite.
The Fox thought that the Tiger couldn’t live without it, so it also gradually became arrogant. It joined forces with the Wolf Pack and ate the noble little white rabbit.
When the Tiger knew, it chose to turn a blind eye and protect the Fox.
The intelligent Monkey King in the forest noticed that something was wrong and sent the monkeys under him to check on the Fox. In order to not expose the fact that the Fox had tricked the small animals, the Tiger said to the
Python, ”
Go to the big black bear and tell him that his Cubs were eaten by the Fox.
The big black bear was furious when he found out. He broke into the Fox’s house and killed the Fox.
“What do you mean?”
Xu Qi ‘an frowned and pondered for a long time, but he couldn’t figure out what the story was about.
There was a strong sense of déjå vu, but he couldn’t recall it at the moment.
He didn’t think too much about it and returned to the inner court to Polish his saber intent and cultivate the heaven and earth One saber slash.
After lunch, he rode the little mare to the brothel. He changed his appearance and left on foot. He arrived at the private house and entered the carriage in Lin ‘an.
Then, she sat in the princess’s carriage, which rolled into the Imperial City.
As they approached the area where the royal family gathered, a luxurious carriage made of red sandalwood also came from the opposite side.
“Stop the car!”
Huaiqing’s cold voice could be heard from the carriage that was heading towards them.
The two carriages stopped. Huaiqing opened the window and sat by the window. He peeked out his beautiful face and said, “”Lin ‘an, didn’t you say that you were not feeling well these few days? where did you go?”
Ck … Xu Qi ‘an sat in the carriage, his face stiff.
He secretly went on a date with his sister and was bumped into by her sister halfway..
