Splendid Abandoned Wife

Chapter 404
Zhiruo boarded the carriage in one step and put the hairpin close to the oil lamp on the table in the carriage for a more detailed look.

There are three strange symbols engraved on the lotus head base of the hairpin, and there are three other similar symbols on the hairpin handle. Zhiruo has seen and studied these six symbols for a long time, and the impression is extremely profound.

Yes, the jade pendant that Minghui got back from Lingyi Temple had six such symbols, and the pattern on the other side of the jade pendant was also a lotus.

The jade pendant that Aunt Zhen secretly hid that may be related to her life experience and the ebony hairpin that Luoshuang got back from somewhere are both themed with lotus flowers, but they are actually engraved with the same six strange symbols. Is it a coincidence?If Aunt Zhen had worn it normally and not made it so mysterious, she might have thought it was just a decorative pattern that a certain jewelry craftsman particularly liked, or the logo of a certain silver house.

But the fact is..., so she would rather believe that the lotus and the six symbols are the unique symbols of a certain family.

"Where did this hairpin come from?" Zhiruo asked, staring at Luoshuang closely. The urgency in his eyes really startled Luoshuang.

"It should be Chou Ya Luo. I saw her wearing it, but I didn't notice it before. I thought it was an ordinary black lacquered wooden hairpin," Luoshuang quickly replied. Seeing the shock on her master's face, she thought she also recognized it. The ugly girl is wearing it.But think about it, with just a little moonlight, even if the master saw Chou Ya through the car window just now, he wouldn't be able to see clearly such an inconspicuous hairpin on her head.

"Maybe?" Zhiruo suddenly remembered the previous topic, "You said you saw someone just now. Wasn't it an ugly girl again? And then you picked up this hairpin?"

Luoshuang nodded and lowered his voice: "Yes, but not only Chou Ya, but also He Zhen, the owner of Wei Xian Fish House. He was dressed in black and covered his face to rescue Chou Ya. By chance, his face was scraped off by a tree branch, just in time for him to rescue Chou Ya." I see the front." The master has always been steady, but this ebony hairpin made the master so excited. There must be some reason, and she didn't dare to tell the truth anymore.

He Zhen, that man who looks like Aunt Zhen?So what is his relationship with the ugly girl who owns this hairpin?And Aunt Zhen?Why do He Zhen and Chou Ya deal with the saints of the Tianyao Gang?It seems very complicated!

No matter how complicated it was, he had to try his best to check it out. Zhiruo raised his eyebrows. After all, this was related to Aunt Zhen's life experience. Minghui must also want to know the origin of his own mother. Where did the other half of his blood come from?Of course, as for whether to tell Minghui the result or not, it depends on the truth. It doesn't matter if the truth will discredit, cause trouble, or bring danger to Minghui, just treat it as if it has not been investigated.

"Master, Mrs. Zhou wants to ask you something," Luoshuang gently pulled Zhiruo, pulling her back from all kinds of "possibles", "ifs" and "what ifs", "Mrs. Zhou wants to go After negotiating with the government, the servants who returned to Duke Ding's palace were buried."

"Huh? Oh," Zhiruo was stunned for a moment before responding, "Aren't everything over there blocked by the government at the moment? If we want to negotiate with them, we probably have to wait until the inspection and inventory of the gangs are completed. Anyway, this time It's almost dawn, so why don't we find an inn to freshen up, and then go to the magistrate's office to inquire about the news." The magistrate is probably still sleeping on the high bed and soft sleeper, and there is nothing we can do to negotiate with those government servants, soldiers and the like. "That's right." Mrs. Zhou then remembered that she was still a little disheveled at the moment. She would not lose the face of Duke Dingguo's palace by going out like this. "Young Master Qi is still thoughtful." She is a first-grade lady, and like those little Negotiating with officials is inherently demeaning, let alone in such an embarrassing state.

"Old Madam, our money..." Nanny Shui said awkwardly. When they hurried downstairs, they had brought the most important small package with them, but it was only held by the first-class maid Chun Yan beside the old Madam.She saw with her own eyes that Chunyan was hacked to death by a masked man in black, but she still dared to run over and get the package from Chunyan, and she didn't care, right?
"Don't worry, mama," Zhiruo said with relief, "As long as you are well, the money is not a problem, just treat it as something I lent to you. My Nichangju and Immortal Ju will be opening stores in the capital soon. When the time comes, you Just return the money to the shop and talk to the shopkeeper." Not everyone likes to take advantage and receive favors. Didn't Mrs. Zhou just now wonder why she was so enthusiastic about their grandparents?She didn't care about this little money and was willing to let Mrs. Zhou use it for free, but Mrs. Zhou and Duke Dingguo's mansion were not short of money either.

"Sure, I still owe the life-saving grace anyway, and I don't care if I owe more money," Mrs. Zhou nodded cheerfully, "Shui Qing, keep track of the account, and be sure to remember to pay back the money as soon as possible." The brother returned the favor. Ming is settling the accounts, and the money will naturally have to be repaid, but he just borrowed the money so that he can pay it back. I don't know if there will be a chance to repay this kindness and the favor in times of need.In any case, even if she is gone in the future, she must let her children and grandchildren, especially Yan Geer, remember that their Duke Dingguo owes Qi Mubai a favor, and they must repay the favor if they have the opportunity.

Soon, Zhiruo and his party checked into a Yunshu Inn not far from Xiyue Inn. Although the quality was a little inferior, it was clean and tidy and relatively close to the city center and the prefectural government office.

After asking for separate rooms to rest, Zhiruo immediately asked Luoying to contact the people at Da Yuanfang. She wanted to check on He Zhen and that ugly girl: "Have people watch carefully and check quietly, and find out these six Symbol meanings and allusions.”

symbol?Luoshuang took the hairpin and looked through it with an "I see" look on her face: "Master, have you seen these symbols? Yes, these ghostly symbols really don't look like patterns. It seems that the ugly girl also has an origin." A little beggar How could he command those masked men in black, and how dare he confront the Tianyao Gang?And He Zhen, who grew up in a Miao village, is Chouya a Miao?Does that Miao village have a grudge against the Tianyao Gang?
"Nonsense!" Luoying took the hairpin, "I'm going out right now. You have to protect the master. You can't leave the master for a moment. Remember not to be impulsive or act without permission."

"I know, that's nonsense!" Luoshuang curled her lips. She is also an excellent secret guard and spy, right?Otherwise, the uncle would not have sent her to the master's side with her sister. Wasn't it just a clever attempt to tease Prince Pan once?She has deeply reflected on herself, how could she do it again?

Luoying glared at her and resigned to Zhiruo. After taking two steps, she remembered something again and turned around to ask Luoshuang: "When you saw He Zhen, were you sure they didn't notice you? There were other people when you picked up the hairpin." Can you see it?"

Luoshuang shook her head decisively: "No." She still had this vigilance and certainty.
