I won't do the task of traveling quickly

Chapter 218 I am the woman who wants to become the leader's wife (8)

Meng Xiu didn't believe the results of the investigation at first, but after interrogation at Lingyue Villa, the shopkeeper of the Penglai Inn finally couldn't stand the criminal law and confessed.So he had to believe it at this time.

It turned out that most of Chutian Pavilion's properties in Cangzhou were managed by the young master Meng Hao. Because he was busy with affairs, he couldn't take care of them for a while, so he hired a manager to take full charge.Unexpectedly, this manager is very strict, and sets goals for the shopkeepers every month.Once someone can't finish it, at least they will lose their wages for the month, or at worst they will have to pack up and leave, and their family members in the cabinet may also be implicated.

Chutian Pavilion's other properties in Cangzhou are okay, but Huanxiju lives next to the Penglai Inn, and the business has always been better than that of the Penglai Inn. The goal set by the steward cannot be achieved at all.

The shopkeeper happened to have a daughter who was working in the Chutian Pavilion, and she was about to get engaged to a disciple.Although he is not a direct disciple of the owner of the villa, the situation of the couple will definitely improve a lot after getting married.

So he had no choice but to take the risk and designed this poisoning incident.And in order to conceal the fact, he was indeed the one who killed the disciples of Lingyue Villa, using exactly the method Ning Qingying said.

After listening to the shopkeeper's narration, everyone looked at each other for a moment.Yun Moyin also grimaced, he still had doubts about this matter, after all, there were still some loopholes in the shopkeeper's confession.

At this time, Ye Chaochen said lightly: "Shopkeeper, you are really just smart for a while. If you know that the matter is revealed, your daughter may not be able to please you."

The shopkeeper originally thought that after his confession, he would pay with his life at most, but after hearing this, he suddenly became a little crazy.In this world, he only has his daughter as his relative. Now if he spoils her marriage, what face would he have?

Thinking of this, he said nonsense: "It's all your fault at Lingyue Villa. Originally, this matter was done flawlessly, it's all your fault."

He said and suddenly took out a knife from his arms.At this time, Shen Sisi happened to be standing in front. Everyone was still immersed in the facts just now, and no one paid attention to the precautions.

Seeing that the knife was about to touch Shen Sisi, Ye Chaochen stepped forward and hugged her, then backed away, and kicked the shopkeeper by the way.

The shopkeeper got up and rushed towards Meng Xiu after failing to hit him.Although Meng Xiu kicked him unconscious, he was also cut on his arm by the blade.

"Brother Xiu, are you okay?" Seeing this, Zhong Yanqiu hurriedly stepped forward to ask.

"It's okay, this old ghost." Meng Xiu couldn't get angry, and stepped forward to kick his man a few more times, each of which landed on the head.

Yun Moyin hurriedly stopped him, and asked in a stern tone: "This person is from your Chutian Pavilion, why should Mr. Meng do this?"

Although they got along with each other not long ago, he felt that Meng Xiu was not a kind person, and he was far from his elder brother Meng Hao.So Yun Moyin was afraid that he would kill someone to silence him.

After all, what is the truth needs to be re-examined.

Hearing what he said, Meng Xiu could only stop embarrassingly.

Ning Qingying always felt that things were developing in a strange place.She glanced at the shopkeeper on the ground, then turned to look at Ye Zhaochen, only to see that he was still thinking about it.Ning Qingying couldn't help frowning and stepped forward a few steps.

"Brother Ye, are you alright?"

The two who hugged each other seemed to react now, especially Shen Si.She exclaimed in a low voice, and hurriedly broke free from Ye Zhaochen's embrace.

"Thank you, Mr. Ye, for saving me." A blush floated on Shen Sisi's cheeks, which was really pretty.

Ye Chaochen lowered his head and said softly, "It's nothing, I'm being rude."

There seemed to be a strange atmosphere between them, and Ning Qingying blinked in confusion.It wasn't until Yun Moyin came over that this atmosphere finally disappeared.

Afterwards, people from Lingyue Villa continued to interrogate the shopkeeper several times, but he insisted on gritting his teeth and said that he did it alone.

Yun Moyin still had doubts in his heart. After all, this strategy was not something that an ordinary shopkeeper could think of.If he had such ability, he wouldn't need to be suppressed by the steward.

But this person did not change his words no matter what, so the matter had to be closed hastily.

Although it was done by the shopkeeper of Penglai Inn alone, he is a member of the Chutian Pavilion after all, so Meng Chong, the owner of the pavilion, had to come to make an apology, and also compensated a lot of money.

They also specially sent Shen Sisi a rare pink night pearl as an apology for being frightened.

The matter seemed to be resolved satisfactorily, but a crack inevitably appeared between Lingyue Villa and Chutian Pavilion.Although the crack is very shallow, it may cause indelible damage over time.

On the other side, Ye Chaochen and Ning Qingying also successfully entered Lingyue Villa because of their meritorious service in investigating the case.

However, only Ye Chaochen was accepted as the direct disciple of Master Shen.Because Ning Qingying had no foundation in martial arts, she could only start as an ordinary disciple.

She has no opinion on this matter, Lingyue Villa has its own rules.There is only one bad thing, the personal disciples all have special courtyards, and they are far away from the residences of ordinary disciples.

Therefore, apart from Ye Chaochen occasionally coming to give advice on Ning Qingying's martial arts, she hardly saw him on weekdays.This made her feel a little lost, after all, the two of them had been together before.

In the early morning of this day, Ning Qingying had just finished washing her clothes, and she happened to see Ye Chaochen in the back mountain.He was wearing a moon-white robe that could only be worn by his direct disciples. He was currently practicing his sword, and the flowing skirts of his clothes were completely different from before.

"Brother Ye?"

Ning Qingying happily ran forward.At this time, she also saw the elegant and dusty meditation standing under the tree, and couldn't help but slightly restrained her smile.

When Ye Chaochen saw the clothes she was holding in her hand, he couldn't help but frown and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Wash the clothes." Ning Qingying shook the wooden bucket in her hand.

"I know." He suddenly took a few steps closer and held her left wrist.

It was autumn at this time, and the river water in the early morning was still a little cool, and her hands were red from the cold.

"Why do you have to do your own laundry?"

Shen Sisi also came over, just in time to hear this question.She seemed to be inadvertently looking at the hands of the two, and her eyes flickered slightly.

"Chaochen, only direct disciples have servants to serve them."

Then she took Ning Qingying's left hand again, and said softly: "I'm also confused, but I forgot about it. I'll send a maid to take care of you in the future, how about it?"

Ning Qingying gently pulled her hand out, and said in a low voice, "No need, I'm just an ordinary disciple, it's not good. And it's just washing clothes, it's not a big deal."

"But……"

Seeing that the two people in front of her still wanted to talk, she hurriedly interrupted: "I'm going first, otherwise Master will look for me."

After saying that, Ning Qingying turned around and walked down the mountain. She walked very fast and disappeared in front of the two of them in a few breaths.

In fact, where would her current master come to find her? He only threw away a book of basic exercises before, so he didn't care about it anymore.If he really came to her, he would probably scold her a lot.

Ning Qingying went back to her residence sullenly, and continued to read the previous book on how to whip.To say that compared to the basic skills of Lingyue Villa, the whip method given by Ye Chaochen is unexpectedly more suitable for her, and now her long whip makes her look good.
