Koi Fleeing Famine: I Picked Up a Chief Assistant as a Husband

Chapter 179 Matching Marriage
Seeing guests coming, Zhang Qiu turned around and walked over to ask them what cakes they wanted to eat.

"I want your best pastry, and a pot of hot tea."

Zhang Qiu felt that they looked familiar, as if she had seen them somewhere before, but she didn't take it to heart, and served them with prepared pastries and tea.

Just as he was about to leave, Jun Moyu asked, "Can I ask, who are the women and men at that table..."

Seeing their curious resemblance, Zhang Qiu started to gossip again, sat down unceremoniously and said, "Are you also curious about their relationship?"

"The girl knows?"

"Of course I know. That woman is my savior, and the other is her admirer. I'm matching them up for a good marriage?"

Hearing this, Jun Moyu was very excited, and asked the bottom line: "Why do you want to match them?"

Zhang Qiu looked at him with an idiot's eyes, and said with disgust in his mouth: "Although I think they are a good match!"

"Where does it match?" Shen Lanze, who had been silent all this time, asked while holding his teacup.

Zhang Qiu raised his eyes to look at him, and felt a cold aura emanating from this man, especially those dark eyes, which seemed very displeased.

This made her shiver, she didn't dare to continue reading, she looked away and replied: "They are all handsome, especially that girl, she is a rare beauty, if they are combined, they will definitely live together Happy and happy!"

Shen Lanze was silent for a moment after hearing this, and asked in a cold voice: "Oh? Then have you ever asked that girl if she is willing, if she is unwilling, wouldn't you have killed your savior?"

Zhang Qiu was stunned by his question, and after a while, he explained embarrassingly: "I just want to help, there is no malice!"

Lu Nanzhi had waited for a long time without seeing Zhang Qiu, but when he saw her chatting with someone at another table, he couldn't help sighing.

"Her personality has also changed too much. Before, she was weak and pitiful, and dared not talk to others. Now she is lively and lively, and can chat with anyone."

"Yeah, it's good to have a different person." Wushuang also felt that Zhang Qiu's personality was too different, and even felt like a different person.

Lu Nanzhi smiled and said, "This is pretty good, I like it!"

Just as Lu Nanzhi was staring at Zhang Qiu's figure, he suddenly saw two men sitting beside her, who looked familiar no matter how they looked.

Just when Lu Nanzhi was about to get up and go, a woman with a veil walked over and sat down to dispel the doubts in Lu Nanzhi's heart.

Shen Lanze said today that he would go out of the city with the fifth prince on business and would come back very late, so it might just be the similarity in the back.

Lu Nanzhi didn't care that much, glanced at the white-faced scholar, got up and left with Wushuang.

Seeing the woman who appeared suddenly, Zhang Qiu stared wide-eyed, wandering between Jun Moyu and Shen Lanze.

"Who is this?"

"Ben...it's not your turn to ask me who I am!" Xiao Mengying glanced at Zhang Qiu impatiently.

Zhang Qiu curled his lips, muttering to himself: Don't talk about pulling down.

Shen Lanze saw the person leaving and was about to catch up, but was stopped by Xiao Mengying, "Mr. Shen, I heard that you are investigating the skinning case of a woman by the river. When I entered the city a few days ago, I happened to pass by here and saw two The women are arguing."

Zhang Qiu's expression changed, and he lowered his eyes to cover up the strange look in his eyes.

Shen Lanze frowned slightly, "We have already investigated this matter, Miss Xie for reminding me!"

Xiao Mengying snorted softly, "You actually found out, why haven't you caught the murderer yet?"

Shen Lanze's face was gloomy, "I advise you not to meddle in your own business, otherwise you won't know how you died."

Xiao Mengying still wanted to say something, Jun Moyu opened the folding fan with a "shua".

"Don't girls know that walls have ears, if the murderer is still in the city, will he let you go if he hears your words?"

Xiao Mengying's face froze immediately, and her tone was firm: "I really don't know what's good."

"I hope the girl will take care of it." After Jun Moyu finished speaking, she left with Shen Lanze.

Xiao Mengying stomped her feet angrily, glared at Zhang Qiu fiercely, got up and left.

Jun Moyu and Shen Lanze left and walked side by side, suddenly stopped and looked at the people beside them with complicated eyes.

"What's the meaning of this? Could it be that I got something on my face?"

Shen Lanze shook his head, and said seriously: "Princess Beiling is following, if something happens..."

"I've already sent someone to protect her, I hope she won't be reckless, but she came here for you anyway, so you don't feel moved at all?"

Shen Lanze glared at him, stopped talking, and walked forward at a faster pace.

Jun Moyu stood where she was, staring at his receding back thoughtfully, with a slight smile on the corner of her mouth.

----------

As night falls, the moon and stars are sparse.

A black figure flew across the roof of the street.

Xiao Mengying had just finished taking a bath, lying on the bed in thin pajamas, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

Thinking of what happened during the day, I was extremely annoyed. I knew I would not have come to this poor place, and now I have put myself in a dangerous situation.

The more Xiao Mengying thought about it, the more depressed she became, she simply opened her big eyes and looked at the top of the bed, before she fell asleep unconsciously.

When she was in a daze of sleep, she suddenly heard a noise from outside the door, which scared her to jump up from the bed immediately.

Immediately afterwards, hearing the sound of someone pushing the door, Xiao Mengying stared at the door vigilantly, held her breath, and touched under the pillow.

The black figure quietly entered the dusk, groping towards the bed.

With a tense body, Xiao Mengying held the dagger under the pillow and slowly pulled it out. When the black figure lifted the bed curtain, she stabbed hard, only to hear a "puchi", and the dagger slashed across the black figure's arm.

The black figure grunted in pain, covering the wound with his hands, blood staining his fair fingers red.

Xiao Mengying took the opportunity to withdraw the dagger, jumped off the bed, and pointed the dagger at the shadow, "Tell me, who are you?"

The man in black slowly raised his head, although his face was covered, but his clear eyes were revealed.

Xiao Mengying looked into those eyes and said in surprise: "It's you! It's you who killed that woman!"

A few days ago, when she entered the city, the city gate was closed, so she had no choice but to spend the night in a peasant household outside the city.

Unexpectedly, in the middle of the night, she heard the sound of arguing in the woods outside, and she went out curiously, just in time to see two women fighting.

The veiled woman eventually killed another woman, who was later skinned and thrown into a river.

She knew that the woman was cruel and strong in martial arts, but she was the only one who didn't dare to act rashly, and could only cover her mouth tightly, and did not return to the farmer's house until the woman left her.

Therefore, Xiao Mengying's memory of those eyes is still fresh.

"The more you know, the faster you die." The man in black bullied him again.

Xiao Mengying gritted her teeth and brandished a dagger to fight with the man in black, but because she was not agile enough, she couldn't match the man in black's moves.

With a "bang", Xiao Mengying spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground.
