Only this green, not disappointing the spring

Zhou Xiaoxi was a little confused. He was sure that he had never seen that person before, so why would he know him?

After they entered the private room and took their seats, Yang Zian kindly asked Zhou Xiaoxi if she had any dietary restrictions. Zhou Xiaoxi only said that she did not eat fatty meat.

The man raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"Miss Xiaoxi was born in the countryside, so she probably didn't have many opportunities to eat meat, right? I don't mean anything else, I'm just curious why you avoid fatty meat."

Hey, is this guy a person who is specifically responsible for investigating the case? Otherwise, why is he so picky? Does it bother him if I don't eat the fat meat?

ヽ(｀⌒′)?

“Although I don’t have much chance to eat it, I have eaten it before. I just don’t like the greasy feeling.”

Li Dali was a little confused. Is that true? Why did he remember that this girl was very happy to eat fatty meat when she was a child? Did he remember it wrong?

Yang Zian hurriedly introduced:

"Xiaoxi, Uncle Dali, I haven't introduced you yet. This is Brother Shangguan from the capital, my good friend."

The capital? Li Dali's eyes widened immediately. Isn't that the emperor's feet? No wonder this man's aura made him nervous. It turns out that he came from such a noble place!

Zhou Xiaoxi was really confused, so she simply stopped thinking about it and asked directly:

"I wonder why Mr. Shangguan is looking for me? I am sure I have never seen you before."

Shangguan Song was somewhat surprised by the girl's frankness. In fact, he came here just to follow Shangguan Chang to broaden his horizons and meet his old friend. He did not participate much in the case.

Although this little girl could barely be considered one of the people involved, he never thought that he could get any useful information from her.

I just mentioned it casually at the time, and I didn't expect to meet you on the street by chance.

Since you've seen everyone, there's no harm in asking.

"Miss Xiaoxi, to be honest, I came to you this time to learn about the Taoist temple."

Zhou Xiaoxi was a little stunned. What else could she say? That day, she, her grandmother, and her uncle stayed in the county government office for most of the day, and told the county magistrate everything they knew.

"What do you want to know? We have told you everything we know. The county magistrate should have the records."

Is that matter very serious? Otherwise, why would this person come all the way from the capital?

Zhou Xiaoxi felt a little uneasy in her heart. She felt that there might be a very terrible truth hidden behind that incident.

But she didn't want to know!

Shangguan Song picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip. He was thinking about how to say this appropriately. The truth was absolutely impossible to tell.

"Because similar cases have been discovered elsewhere, the higher-ups are paying more attention to them. I have no other intention in looking for you this time, I just want to learn more about it, in case there is any new discovery."

Zhou Xiaoxi's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately suppressed all her emotions. She was just a country girl, and she shouldn't understand what the other person was saying.

She nodded,

"What else do you want to know? We will tell you everything we know."

"Then I'll be frank. According to Magistrate Zou, this matter was reported to the authorities by someone you asked, and it was handled very secretly and properly. It seems that this was not Doctor Zhang's idea in the beginning."

Li Dali opened his mouth to speak, but finally held it back. He looked at his niece, who was much smarter than him, so it was better not to say too much.

It would be terrible if I said the wrong thing!

There is nothing to hide, Zhou Xiaoxi said frankly:

"We are a countryman with little influence, so we asked Dr. Zhang to be the middleman. We kept it a secret because we wanted to protect our family from harm. I think it's better for other families who have the same experience not to know the truth."

Shangguan Song couldn't help but retort:

"Isn't it very unfair to those men to do this? They are kept in the dark like fools and raise children for others for nothing."

Zhou Xiaoxi looked at the table full of food and suppressed a sigh. It was almost cold and she hadn't eaten a single bite yet!

Then he looked at the other person calmly:

"How can it be that he is raising a child for someone else? He is obviously raising it for himself. As long as the truth is not revealed, everyone will be safe."

Yang Zian chuckled. This little girl's ideas were always unexpected. He couldn't help but ask back:

"But they are not related by blood. From this point of view, isn't the man very miserable?"

"Is blood relationship so important? I was picked up by my mother, but my family members are very good to me. And my uncle is even willing to not marry again for my cousin. As long as everyone treats each other sincerely, blood relationship is not important."

Shangguan Song was so frightened that he almost stood up from the stool!

Realizing his own loss of composure, he immediately picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea to hide his emotions.

Yang Zian also noticed something strange about his friend. He thought of something and looked at Zhou Xiaoxi unconsciously.

The girl's skin was tanned because she was busy outside all day. In addition, she neglected to take care of herself, so the skin on her face was a little rough. However, her black hair was shiny and thick, tied only with a dark green cloth.

By the way, this girl seems to like green very much.

But it's really hard to see any similarity from her face.

Shangguan Song cleared his throat and asked anxiously:

"I wonder where your mother found the girl from? How old were you at the time?"

Zhou Xiaoxi was a little hesitant. Why did the topic bring up herself?

"Master Shangguan, is my life experience related to this case?"

Uh, the other party was speechless for a moment.

Yang Zian immediately helped explain:

"It's like this, Brother Shangguan's relative...had a sister who got lost at a very young age for some reason and has not been found yet. When he heard about your background, he couldn't help but lose his composure. Please forgive me, Miss Xiaoxi."

Shangguan Song also calmed down. He hadn't figured out where the other party came from yet. It would be troublesome if the other party took advantage of the opportunity to get close to him.

He couldn't lose his composure. Ten years had passed. There was no need to rush. But he would definitely find out everything about the other party afterwards!

"I'm sorry, I was in a hurry. Let's continue."

Shangguan Song turned his gaze to Li Dali.

"My words may be a little presumptuous, but didn't you realize that something was wrong all these years? After all, your wife has not had any children in the past seven years."

Li Dali instantly lost his appetite for food. Why did this person always stab people in the heart with his words? !

He spoke in a muffled voice:

"Because Qian, my wife at the time, had an accident while pregnant and gave birth prematurely. We all thought that she was injured because of this incident and that's why she never got pregnant again."

What a coincidence!

Zhou Xiaoxi couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Sometimes God really likes to play tricks on people.

If Qian hadn't given birth prematurely, they might have noticed something was wrong long ago.

Unfortunately, there is no such thing.

Shangguan Song looked at Zhou Xiaoxi again.

"How did you get to know Doctor Zhang? As far as I know, your sister is still an apprentice at Huichun Hall, and Doctor Zhang doesn't seem to have much to do with you."

Zhou Xiaoxi couldn't help but frown. Why did this guy act like he was interrogating a criminal?

He looks quite handsome, but his personality is really unpleasant!
