Chapter 283 The familiar profile
Shen Mingjiao frowned: "Have you carefully checked who Chuntao has been in contact with in recent months, and why did Erye Ye agree with her to be the shopkeeper of Jinxiufang!"
After all, Chuntao has been with Ye Erye for seven or eight years, so why did she suddenly think of going to Jinxiufang to be the shopkeeper at this time!
Tie Zhu said: "Chuntao said that she has a way to improve the business of Jinxiufang on East Street, but Ye Erye was persuaded somehow. According to our investigation, one of Chuntao's personal maids was bought by someone. Her person is an attendant next to the young master."
At first glance, this matter sounds like an infighting among uncles and nephews, but not to mention that Young Master Ye is far more capable than Second Master Ye. Taking ten thousand steps back, even if Young Master Ye is narrow-minded and insists on getting rid of Second Master Ye, You won't be so stupid as to use this method of self-destruction.
She asked: "Has there been any new additions to Ye Chen's side in recent months?"
This iron pillar was naturally sent to investigate.
"Ye Chen has always kept himself clean, but the people he sent there found out that he went out to discuss business two months ago, and when he came back, he brought a girl. Some people said that it was a dancer from the Western Regions given by a wealthy businessman. No one has seen what the girl looks like. , I heard that Ye Chen loves that woman very much, and always takes her with him when he goes out to discuss business."
Shen Mingjiao twirled her fingers, the woman who was brought back suddenly two months ago...
This made her think of Su Qing who disappeared in the fire more than two months ago. Is there any connection between the two. Or just a coincidence?
However, no matter how big the business of the Ye family is, they are only merchants, and they should not be able to arrange eyeliners in the palace unless there are people behind them.
In fact, she would rather be really Su Qing, after all, the poisonous snake hiding in the dark is more frightening.
She knocked on the edge of the table: "Such an incident happened in Jinxiufang on East Street, Ye Chen should have received the news by now!"
"Yes, Ye Chen has already left to come to the capital to handle this matter in person."
Shen Mingjiao waved him to go down to rest, Tie Zhu hesitated and asked: "When someone comes to the capital, do you need to send someone to watch?"
"No, the other party will come to the door in person."
…
The next day, after breakfast, Shen Mingjiao was looking through the books that Divine Doctor Wen had given her in the yard.
In fact, she has read these books several times. She used to read these books only because of boredom or curiosity. Although he looked at it seriously, he didn't take it seriously.
But after personally experiencing Gu Danxue's suicide, watching her friend collapse and despair, the feeling of powerlessness almost made her suffocate.
At that time, she couldn't help but think of what Dr. Wen said, saying that she was very talented in hypnosis and was naturally suitable for learning to treat mental illnesses. She didn't take it seriously at the time.
Now when I look back, I feel a kind of indescribable complexity in my heart, and I can't help but flip through these books in my spare time.
At this time, Fuguang walked into the yard and sat down quietly opposite her.
Shen Mingjiao looked up for a while before seeing her.
"Ah! When did you come, Fuguang? Why didn't you call me?"
Fuguang's voice was flat: "Sister Gillian is reading a book. Since I have nothing serious, don't worry about disturbing me."
Shen Mingjiao looked at her with her chin propped up. After a few days of not seeing her, this girl seemed to become more composed, and her pair of beautiful blue eyes became more silent and bottomless.
As if realizing something, she tentatively asked, "You... have recovered your memory?"
It is not that she has never tried to use hypnosis to restore Fu Guang's memory before, but Fu Guang's amnesia is due to lovesickness, not brain damage.
Fu Guang nodded, looked at her with deep eyes: "I remember."
Obviously she is only thirteen or fourteen years old, but she has a feeling that people can't see the end at a glance.
Shen Mingjiao guessed that Fu Guang's status in the original country was definitely not low.
She didn't ask what the other party had experienced in the past, but said: "Then do you plan to go back and find your family?"
Fu Guang shook his head: "Not yet."
Shen Mingjiao didn't ask any more questions, just said: "It's okay, you can treat this place as your own home, and you can live as long as you want."
Then changed the subject and said: "By the way, you haven't said why you came to see me?"
Mentioning this, Fu Guang finally had some light in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily curved slightly:
"I want to give Sister Gillian a surprise."
"It's in the Pretty Pavilion, I'll take you there."
Waiting for the two to go to the Beautiful Pavilion in a carriage, Fuguang dragged her straight up to the small cubicle on the second floor for people to work and rest.
At a glance, she saw the head covered with a set of purple diamonds illuminated by Liuli, showing a gorgeous and brilliant color under the candlelight.
Shen Mingjiao involuntarily stared dumbfounded, very few women could stop without being afraid of beautiful gestures. She exclaimed:
"You asked someone to do this, is it really beautiful?"
Fu Guang nodded: "As long as Sister Gillian likes it."
"Is there anything I don't like about this, did you make it for yourself? Let me see what it looks like..."
The two chatted around the jewelry, mainly Shen Mingjiao was talking, and Fu Guang occasionally responded.
Finally, Fu Guang held out a purple gold crown inlaid with diamonds, paused with his fingers, and said, "This is for Your Highness."
Shen Mingjiao took it in surprise: "Why do you still think of giving something to His Highness?"
Fuguang's blue eyes flashed complicated and dazed, and he said flatly: "He taught me martial arts last time, this is a thank you gift."
Feng Lisheng was very happy when he learned that Fuguang was good at martial arts and was very powerful. He thought it would be convenient for someone to protect Shen Mingjiao at close range, so he specially brought someone to train for half a month.
Shen Mingjiao went to see it, and it can be said that Feng Lisheng's methods of training people are absolutely inhumane, and he didn't tolerate at all just because Fuguang was a girl. Of course, the effect is also very good, Fuguang's internal strength stagnant due to poisoning and amnesia seems to be alive again.
Shen Mingjiao didn't think there was anything wrong, so she accepted the hair crown. Although Fu Guang is mild-tempered, she has to return half of her temper even if some people treat her well.
Out of the Pretty Pavilion, seeing that it was time for dinner, Shen Mingjiao proposed to go to the snack street in the west of the city. She hadn't eaten Ma's stinky tofu for a long time.
…
A group of people arrived in the west of the city, and the business of the stinky tofu stall was still booming. They didn't care about the image, and stood by the stall with bowls in their hands, eating with gusto.
Haitang finished eating first, and she took out the copper plate. Let the boss repackage a copy. Shen Mingjiao glanced at her, and said with a meaningful smile:
"To Shi Jiu?"
Haitang nodded foolishly: "Yes! He taught me how to practice martial arts. Naturally, I have to thank him very much."
Shen Mingjiao didn't say anything more, "Well, as long as you are happy."
Tie Zhu on the side heard the conversation between the master and the servant, and heaved a long and sad sigh.
What is the biggest gossip in Su Wang's mansion recently? That was Haitang, the first-class confidant girl next to the princess, who actually saw eye-to-eye with that cold-faced killer Shi Jiu.
Many unmarried brothers just feel that the sky is unfair, why can such a cold and completely impersonal guy get a wife so easily!
Could it be that the little girl now likes that tune?
Everyone looked around and couldn't figure out how a person who works with all kinds of instruments of torture all day could attract the little girl's attention?
Finally staring at his handsome and fair face, everyone had an epiphany, and at the same time sighed deeply helplessly: Sure enough, the world of looking at faces is so unreasonable.
Just as he was thinking wildly, he suddenly saw a woman in white hurried past with her head bowed, her side face was somewhat familiar.
He blurted out: "That's Sue..."
Shen Mingjiao also saw it, she put down the bowl, and followed directly without having time to think about it.
The woman in white felt that someone was following her closely behind her, and turned her head in a panic, seeing a well-dressed young woman, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief:
"Why are you following me?"
Shen Mingjiao sized up the woman in front of her carefully, then looked back a little disappointed. I saw this woman passing by just now, and I felt that her profile was very similar to Su Qing.
But looking carefully at the moment, the facial features are indeed somewhat similar, but the eyes are too different.
She smiled apologetically at the woman: "I'm sorry, the girl looks kind of nice. I thought I met someone I know."
Unexpectedly, when the woman heard this, a dark pain flashed across her eyes, she pretended nothing had happened, she waved her hands and left quickly.
Shen Mingjiao raised her eyebrows thoughtfully, and seeing the woman's reaction, she obviously knew something.
