Chapter 1022 Inquiring about the Cheng Family
Cheng Qi arrived at Xianyaolou, and about half an hour later, Lin Jinyan and the other two went out through the front door and took a carriage back home.

Another half hour later, Cheng Qi and Zheng Xiangheng got on their carriages and left.

Zheng Xiangheng got into the carriage and reported casually: I saw Gu Ruizhou and his younger brother and sister leave half an hour ago.

Zheng Xiangheng's eyes flickered, and he already understood that Cheng Qi's move today was to meet Gu Ruizhou in private.

Fortunately, noticing Cheng Qi's unusual behavior, he did not bring his entourage in.

He picked up the book calmly:

"That shop was originally owned by the Gu family. It's not surprising that they come here to eat. It's still early, let's go to the Never-Night Marquis."
-
Halfway back to the mansion, Lin Jinyan mentioned that she wanted to take Lin Jinan to inspect the shop, so she asked Gu Ruizhou to go back to the general's mansion first.

After a short detour, the carriage stopped in front of Chuchen Pawnshop, and Baizhi got off and went in alone.

Lin Jinan lifted the car curtain and took a look:
"Yan'er, this shop is not ours, why are you here?"

Lin Jinyan replied with a smile:
"I want to find a special gift for my second cousin. I heard that this pawn shop can find it, so I asked Bai Zhi to ask."

Upon hearing that Bai Zhi had arrived, Fan Tonggui's chubby face was filled with a kind smile. He personally brought hot tea and warmly invited Bai Zhi to sit down.

"Thank you, Manager Fan. You don't have to sit down. The young lady sent me here to ask about the investigation of the Tuotianji Sect a few days ago. Did you find any information?"

Fan Tonggui glanced at the next room for a moment and said with a smile:

"We are investigating. We will let you know when we have any news."

Bai Zhi: "The matter has been entrusted for many days, but it hasn't been investigated yet?"

"The matter Miss Lin wants to investigate is a long time old and involves many minor details, so it will naturally take more time." Seeing Bai Zhi staring at him without saying anything, with her hands slowly putting on her sleeves, Fan Tonggui resisted the urge to run away, and his smile began to stiffen.

After a while, Bai Zhi withdrew her hand, bowed and left without asking any more questions.

After the people left, Fan Tonggui felt weak and wanted to hold on to the table, but quickly withdrew his hand:

Damn it, this girl must have wanted to poison me just now...

Seeing Feng Xiaoran coming in and preparing to sit down, he hurriedly spoke out to stop him:
"Young Master, don't touch the things in front of you! Go out first, I'll ask the waiter to clean up here and then you can come in. That little girl is very skilled in poisoning, and maybe she left something behind like the bracelet a few years ago."

"It's not that weird..."

When Feng Xiaoran heard this, he remembered the time a few years ago when his bracelet touched this place. He felt an itch that went deep into his bones. Although he muttered something, he still moved his body away honestly.

He took Fan Tonggui back to the next room and did not forget to wash his hands first.

"Young Master, Miss Lin asked me to investigate the news about the Cheng family, but she paid enough silver. If she keeps it secret, it will damage the reputation of Tianji Sect. After all, she is not an ordinary lady."

Feng Xiaoran crossed his legs and didn't care:

"It's just a delay for a few days, making that little fox anxious for a few days. It's not like I really won't tell her. It won't damage her reputation. However, the Cheng family just found the Gu family, and that little fox spent money to check the Cheng family's background. I'm afraid she intends to form an alliance with the Cheng family... The black-hearted girl is really ambitious."

Fan Tonggui: "The one that His Royal Highness Prince Qi has his eyes on is Miss Lin's cousin. Miss Lin would not share a husband with her sisters. Perhaps she really has no intention of becoming the queen mother."

Feng Xiaoran waved his hand impatiently to drive them away:
"You are not a worm in her stomach, how do you know what she is thinking? The more I talk to you, the angrier I get. It's better to be a quiet person like Chen Yao."
