Chapter 191
Wang Yanqing listened quietly, she knew in her heart that it was not Lu Heng's people who went to the kitchen at noon to inform, but Fu Tingzhou's men. After that, they pretended to be people in the kitchen and brought food boxes filled with medicine to deliver meals to Wang Yanqing.
This is the downside of being unfamiliar with one another. There are now three teams of people in the county government: Lu Heng, Cheng Zhifu and Tao County magistrate. These people do not know each other, and it is easy to be exploited. If you are in the Lu Mansion, you are all acquaintances, and it is not easy to do things.
Wang Yanqing suddenly thought of Fu Tingzhou's words. She didn't tell the truth for some reason, but covered it up: "Yes, I wanted to go out and have a look myself, but I didn't eat in the house."
The maid didn't think much about it. A little lady came to a new place. It was normal to go out for a stroll. There was only Wang Yanqing left in the room. She looked at the hot food in front of her and had no appetite, but she knew that if she didn't want to be in pain tomorrow, she had better eat.
Wang Yanqing qiángbī picked up the bowl and chopsticks and numbly ate the vegetables. Although Qixian is a small place, the chefs are good at cooking, and the cooking is particularly authentic, with a completely different flavor from the capital. It's a pity that Wang Yanqing couldn't taste it at all, she drank the soup blankly, her mind was full of what Fu Tingzhou said during the day.
He said that Lu Heng was lying to her. She was not Lu Heng's adopted sister, but a hostage who was kidnapped by Lu Heng. Later, when Lu Heng learned that she had lost her memory, she decided to take the plan.
Don't say it, Lu Heng came up with such a thing.
Wang Yanqing retorted quietly in his heart, how could it be false that Lu Heng could tell her identity, origin and childhood anecdotes well? But this excuse can't even convince Wang Yanqing himself, and others may not be able to do it, but for Jin Yiwei, it is easy to check a person's life.
When Fu Tingzhou spoke today, Wang Yanqing kept observing his expression. Wang Yanqing didn't see any trace of lying, and the household registration and family letters couldn't be more true. Wang Yanqing seemed to have two energies fighting in her mind. She was in a mess and couldn't understand anything.
She thought, maybe she was wrong, Fu Tingzhou was lying, but she didn't see it. Or it may not be accurate to judge true and false by expressions and behaviors...
Wang Yanqing leaned back in her chair, realizing that she was using her emotional tendencies to interfere with her judgment. When a person's position is no longer objective, then learning a lie will lose its meaning. He only sees what he wants to see.
She was holding the soup bowl in her hand, her eyes were dazed and she didn't move for a long time. Suddenly, there was a salute from outside, Wang Yanqing woke up suddenly, quickly put down the bowl and got up.
She just stood up and the door was pushed open. Wang Yanqing saw Lu Heng head-on and panicked for a moment. She squeezed her hand hard, smiled and said to Lu Heng, "Second brother, you are back."
Lu Heng swept her face, looked at the soup that was no longer steaming by her hand, and smiled calmly: "Why are you eating now? Didn't I tell them long ago, I will give it to you when it arrives. Do you bring food?"
In fact, the meal delivery time was right, but Wang Yanqing was uneasy, which was why it was delayed until now. Wang Yanqing pursed her hair, lowered her eyes and said, "I slept in the afternoon and woke up late."
Lu Heng responded, but he didn't pursue it any further. He held Wang Yanqing's shoulder, and Wang Yanqing subconsciously ducked. Lu Heng had a panoramic view, but as if he didn't notice anything, he said, "You continue to eat, don't worry about me."
Wang Yanqing shook his head: "I've finished eating. Second brother, why are you coming back now?"
Lu Heng smiled and said politely, "It's a bit complicated."
That's not ordinary complexity, and even the White Lotus Sect was involved.
Wang Yanqing called someone in to clean up the dishes and asked Lu Heng, "What's the matter?"
Lu Heng walked to the other side to remove the saber and protective gear, and sighed, "It's hard to say. I heard the guard say that you went out this afternoon, why did you go out alone?"
Wang Yanqing looked at Lu Heng quietly, he lowered his head and unbuttoned his cufflinks, his expression was casual, and his eyes were peaceful. His skin is white, and his eyebrows and eyes are particularly handsome. From this angle, he looks like a Bodhisattva drooping his eyes, with a silent compassion and beauty. He looked like he was just asking casually, and it didn't seem like he had found anything. Wang Yanqing bit his lip and said in a complaining tone, "All you have left are men. How can I take them when I go out to buy some women's things?"
Lu Heng smiled, he raised his eyes, the smile in his eyes was sincere and gleaming, and he looked at her and said, "I was negligent, and I won't do it again next time."
He seemed to admit his mistake, but his eyes had already fallen behind Wang Yanqing. As soon as he entered the door, he noticed that the side of the dining table facing the door was crooked. The changes are very subtle, but Lu Heng has been walking in assassination all year round and is very sensitive to the positional changes of any equipment.
He looked at the place again. The northwest corner of the dining table was skewed by a small angle. Someone should have come in through the door, bumped it, and forgot to restore it later. Lu Heng loosened his sleeves and took off the slender, cold and hard embroidered chūn knife. He walked around with the action of the knife, and sure enough, he swept the flower pots in the corner with broken petals.
The petals of the jú flower have lost their color and should be used to make soup or soup. Flowers are cold in nature. He can't order them, and neither can Wang Yanqing. Who brought them?
Lu Heng really laughed this time. He had to solve the case within three days, and everyone in the palace knew about it. Lu Heng asked why Fu Tingzhou didn't use such an important handle. It turned out that he was waiting for him here.
