The general is red makeup

into the night.

Looking at the full moon hanging in the sky through the wide open window, I don't know when I will leave this ghostly place.

Speaking of Nangong Jing's case, there seems to be no clues since the last time. If it continues like this, when the real culprit is found, I'm afraid the Hundred Hunting Banquet will be over.

However, it's useless for her to be anxious alone. Thinking about it, Shen Luoqi looked at the umbrella that Xue Ren gave her.Perhaps there will be news from Dali Temple.

……

In the early morning of the next day, when Shen Luoxi got up, Nanny Xu had already arranged everything and was just waiting for Su Qingcheng to come over.

I have to say that Madam Xu is quite handy in using it.

When Su Qingcheng came over, Shen Luoqi asked Qingtong to hold the umbrella, and the three of them left the mansion together.

Looking at the umbrella in Qingtong's hand, and at the cloudless sky, Su Qingcheng was a little puzzled: "Xiao Wu, it's not raining, why did you bring an umbrella?"

Shen Luoqi replied lightly: "Oh, it's not mine, it's Xue Zongren's. I think I'll come out anyway, so I'll take a detour later and return it to Dali Temple."

Su Qingcheng nodded, thinking about it, so she didn't ask any more questions.

"By the way, sister." Shen Luoxi said: "Later, you go to the mountain at the back of Qiling Hall first, I returned the umbrella, and I went to meet you."

Su Qingcheng nodded, answered "OK", and the two parted ways and left.

Dali Temple.

After a distance, Qing Tong stepped forward quickly and explained the situation to the guards guarding the gate. The guards did not stop him, but led Shen Luoxi directly to the hall.

"Fifth Miss, wait a moment," the guard said, "I've sent someone to report to our lord."

Shen Luoxi nodded and didn't say much.

Not long after, the maid came up with a pot of tea.Shen Luoxi sat on the side and waited quietly. It took about a cup of tea, but Xue Ren was still nowhere to be seen, only a few maidservants accompanied her.

Without any doubts, Qingtong whispered: "Miss, why hasn't this Xue Zongren come yet? Could it be that he didn't intend to see us at all?"

Hearing this, Shen Luoxi glanced back at her, causing Qingtong to immediately shut up in fright.

"What's the hurry?" Shen Luoqi picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said, "I'm not in a hurry."

Qingtong lowered her head, not daring to speak, how could she be in a hurry?Obviously, I made an appointment with the second lady to meet at the back mountain of the Prayer Hall, and it seems that it is almost noon.

Although I thought so in my heart, I absolutely dare not say it on the surface.Although Shen Luoqi had never beaten or scolded her, for some reason, Qingtong was quite afraid of her.

Just thinking about it, suddenly the steward outside shouted: "Xue Zongren is here!"

It can be regarded as coming.

Qingtong breathed a sigh of relief.

Shen Luoqi stood up slowly, and saluted slightly: "Su Mingyue has met Lord Xue."

Xue Ren seemed to be in a good mood, with a smile on his eyes and brows.

"Okay, okay." Xue Ren hurriedly gave him a hand.

Shen Luoqi looked up, only to realize that Xue Baiqing was also there.

It seems that something is wrong.

Xue Ren glanced at the umbrella, and said with a smile: "It's rare that Su Yatou has a heart. Just now, the old man really has some business matters to deal with, so it's too late."

Shen Luoqi smiled, and said: "Master Xue, what are you talking about? I am the one who made a sudden visit."

"Miss Su is serious." Xue Baiqing hurriedly accepted the words, and said: "If you can come, my Xue family welcomes you."

Xue Ren also smiled and said, "Yes, yes, yes. Oh, it's already noon, the girl hasn't eaten yet."

Shen Luoqi shook his head, but he knew why Xue Ren took so long to come, it was his original idea.

Xue Ren nodded when he heard the words, and said, "That's right. Bai Qing."

Xue Baiqing stepped forward: "Grandpa."

"I heard that you chatted well with Su Yatou last time." Xue Ren said, "Take care of me later. If you, a bastard, make Su Yatou unhappy, I'll see if I don't break your legs."

Seeing Xue Ren's posture, it didn't look like he was joking, Xue Baiqing laughed dryly, and immediately replied: "Yes, yes, my child will certainly not neglect Miss Su."

"Okay." Xue Ren laughed with satisfaction, and continued: "Girl, don't blame the old man for not greeting well, the old man does have some important things to deal with at hand."

Shen Luoqi was naturally sensible, although he already knew the result, it was nothing more than another trip in vain, but there was no way, this was not Lingyue City after all.

She smiled and said, "It's okay. Mr. Xue is just busy."

Xue Ren nodded, and gave Xue Baiqing a meaningful look before leaving.

Watching Xue Ren leave, Xue Baiqing invited Shen Luoqi to the garden.

"Last time, Ms. Su left without saying goodbye." Xue Baiqing brought up the matter with some embarrassment, with a little guilt in his expression: "I thought Ms. Su was angry, and I thought I had neglected Ms.

Shen Luoqi smiled slightly: "Not at all. That time, I just received a letter from a servant in the mansion suddenly, saying that the second sister was looking for me urgently, so she left in a hurry and didn't come in time to tell Mr. Xue."

Hearing this, Xue Baiqing smiled and said, "So that's it, it's better not to be angry with me."

Shen Luoqi didn't reply anymore, she turned her eyes, looked at the lotus flowers in the pond, and couldn't help but praise: "This lotus flower is really beautiful."

Following her gaze, Xue Baiqing also said: "Yes, every season, the flowers in Dali Temple are the most beautiful lotus in this pond."

Shen Luoxi nodded. She remembered that when she was in Qihengzong, Brother Yue liked to take her to the back mountain to practice. There was a lake with no end in sight. The lake was full of lotus flowers, which was like this in all seasons.

"By the way, Miss Su." Xue Baiqing opened his mouth suddenly, instantly recalling Shen Luoqi's memories, and he said, "Why don't you stay and have lunch before leaving, I've already ordered the cook..."

"No need." Shen Luoxi interrupted his words.She said: "I'm sorry Mr. Xue to worry about it. It's really inconvenient today. I have an appointment outside. If I go late, I'm afraid it will make her unhappy."

"Oh, that's it..." Xue Baiqing's eyes slowly darkened, but after thinking for a moment, he finally said: "Okay, when and where will Miss Su go, how about Xue taking you there?"

"No need." For Xue Baiqing's enthusiasm, Shen Luoqi just wanted to decline, after all, she didn't want the other party to misunderstand anything.

"I came here this time just to return the umbrella." Shen Luoxi's words made Xue Baiqing feel a little uncomfortable. Shen Luoxi could see it, but he continued: "There is no other meaning. Mr. Xue, if there is nothing wrong ,I go first."

Shen Luoqi saluted slightly, led Qingtong around Xue Baiqing who was stunned, and walked out.

I just hope that this bad relationship ends here.

It seemed that it was impossible to find any useful information from Xue Ren, and the only way was to find clues by himself.

The first object of her doubts was naturally Su Fengxi, to be precise, the Ying Ji who was beside Su Fengxi.

Whether she was sick or injured is still unknown, and when Su Fengxi invited her to the courtyard as a guest, who was the person hiding behind the screen? Habitat seriously injured people.

If all of this is true, then Su Fengxi has some skills.Those who dare to do such a thing are not good at it.
