Chapter 112 Surveillance Lost
It is still a villa on the outskirts of Lincheng.
Sun's cousin-in-law Zhao Dayou was respectfully reporting the information from Sun in Qingxi Village to the host, Mr. Li.
Upon learning that Jinchu had gotten Sun to sign a certificate of witness, officially severing the trusteeship, and that she had left Qingxi Village with her brother and successfully settled in Lincheng, Li Zhongxian chuckled softly, a hint of surprise on his face. "I thought she was just a pretty little orphan, but I never thought she'd be quite clever."
Thinking of the contents of his eldest brother's letter yesterday, Li Zhongxian couldn't help but think to himself, "It's really better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early. This girl is more beautiful than the two he has found now. If she is really smart, she would be a good candidate to go to Beijing."
This matter is of great importance and must be carefully planned. The girl must be willing to do it so that everything can be done smoothly after entering the capital.
How can I make this girl willing?
This really requires careful planning and slow consideration!
At the moment, he still needs to meet the girl in person again to understand her personality and then prescribe the right medicine and implement the next plan.
Glancing at Zhao Dayou below, Li Zhongxian asked, "Did your cousin get discovered by Miss Jin while she was out gathering information?"
Thinking of his wife's smug boasting at the time, Zhao Dayou shook his head with certainty: "My wife said that her cousin acted very carefully this time, so she didn't get discovered by that girl."
"That's good! Go back and have your wife tell her cousin that she did a good job this time. Tomorrow, have your wife go to the mansion to get thirty taels of silver and give it to her! And give your wife an extra ten taels of silver. She's made several trips for this matter, so consider it my reward for the journey!"
"On behalf of my wife and cousin, I would like to thank you for your generous gift, Master." Zhao Dayou took a step back, knelt down and kowtowed happily. This was real money.
After he stood up, Li Zhongxian said, "As for Miss Jin'er's residence, you don't need to go there anymore, so as not to alert the enemy. I have other plans. If there is nothing else, you can return to the mansion!"
Zhao Dayou quickly responded politely and happily returned home to receive his reward.
After he left, Li Zhongxian called over a nearby attendant and whispered, "Go find a reliable person in the mansion to keep an eye on Miss Jin'er in this house. If there's any unusual movement, be sure to report it to me immediately!"
After saying that, he handed over the note with Jin Chu's address on it. The servant hurried forward to take it with both hands and hurried out the door.
Li Zhongxian stood up, put his hands behind his back, walked slowly to the eaves, and began to tease the budgie into speaking human language.
Jin Chu, who was still unaware that he had been targeted by the poisonous snake, was chatting leisurely with several people in the room about the Dragon Boat Festival.
Today is the second day of May. Jinchu has already told Huizhen and Huanyan that the workshop will be closed on the Dragon Boat Festival, so let Weiyue, Weiyuan, and Huizhen's father come here to get together.
Everyone happily chatted about what kind of fillings to make for the rice dumplings, what kind of colorful threads and sachets to wear, which kind of calamus and mugwort to hang, which store's realgar wine sold well, and they also agreed to go to Cuishui River, the largest river in Lincheng, to watch the dragon boat race.
On the morning of the Dragon Boat Festival, Huizhen's father came to the city early to pick up Wei Yue and Wei Yuan, and then bought gifts and came to Jin Chu's house.
Everyone happily ate the rice dumplings prepared by Hui Zhenniang, and then walked towards the Cuishui River, the largest river in Lincheng.
Zhao'er and Wei Yue followed Huizhen's parents and walked in the front. Huizhen also pulled Huanyan to catch up, leaving only Jinchu and Wang Weiyuan behind.
Jin Chu was just about to hurry up and catch up with Huizhen and the others when he heard Wang Weiyuan say, "Apu said some bad guys went to his inn a few days ago to cause trouble. An old friend of yours happened to show up and help a lot. He even turned a disaster into a blessing and earned five hundred taels of silver from the troublemakers..."
Wang Weiyuan and Zhao Pu were classmates. I think that out of gratitude, Manager Zhao told his son about this matter in detail. Zhao Pu had a good relationship with Wang Weiyuan, and knew that he had a good relationship with Jin Chu as well, so he told Wang Weiyuan about this matter.
Jin Chu slowed down his pace and chuckled softly, "It was also lucky that I happened to meet a friend of mine. He rescued Zhao'er and also helped Tongfu Inn get some justice. It was a close call, so it can be considered a blessing in disguise."
Seeing Jin Chu brushing it off in a few words, Wang Weiyuan's eyes flickered slightly. Thinking of his classmates vividly describing to him the interaction between the bearded young man and Jin Chu, he unconsciously pursed his lips.
He didn't know much about Jin Chu before, but he had been in contact with her quite a bit in the past six months. This girl had always been very measured in her actions, and she was always cheerful and generous towards him.
But after learning that he had feelings for her, the girl began to reject him openly and covertly.
The autumn examination is approaching, which is the most important moment in his life. He must give it his all. Miss Jin is still young and she seldom comes into contact with other men. Wang Weiyuan wants to wait until he passes the imperial examination and is fully prepared before he slowly wins the girl's heart.
However, unexpectedly, he suddenly learned from his good friend that she had an old friend with whom she had a close relationship, and that this old friend was not an ordinary young man. This made Prince Wang, who had always been at ease and composed in the face of emergencies, suddenly feel an unknown sense of crisis in his heart and began to become anxious and worried.
He sorted out his chaotic thoughts, looked at the calm and composed girl in front of him, and finally couldn't help but speak again: "I wonder if Miss Jin's old friend is still in Lincheng. If he is still..."
Jin Chu frowned slightly: "He was just passing through Lincheng and left soon."
Wang Weiyuan is not a talkative person and has always been polite and sensible. Why did he suddenly ask Su Chengan endless questions today?
Could it be that he heard some rumors and came here today to find out the news?
While wondering, Jin Chu suddenly thought of Su Cheng'an's identity, and couldn't help but become more wary of Wang Weiyuan, and his next words were much colder.
"Brother Wang, you seem very curious about this old friend of mine."
Facing Shang Jinchu's slightly scrutinizing gaze, Wang Weiyuan's heart tightened: "Oh no, this girl won't find out what I'm thinking, will she?"
Jin Chu looked at Wang Wei's evasive eyes, but what he thought was: "Could it be that he really is trying to find out Su Cheng'an's identity?"
Because of their different ideas, the two people were reluctant to continue the previous topic and fell silent for a while.
Looking at the girl's pretty yet cold face, Wang Weiyuan finally spoke up to explain, "Sister Jin, you've always lived a secluded life, rarely interacting with men. So, when I suddenly heard you'd run into an old friend, I was a little surprised and a bit worried. After all, you're still young, so I asked a lot of questions. This time, I've overstepped my bounds. I hope you won't take it too seriously. I have absolutely no ill intentions in trying to find out about this old friend of yours."
Jin Chu finally nodded, his face perfunctory: "I can't say much about this old friend. But don't worry, Brother Wang, he and I have a deep connection, we can be said to be friends for life and death!"
We have a long history! Friendships of life and death!
Wang Weiyuan was so shocked by these big words that he couldn't recover for a long time.
