A female coroner arrived at the Jingzhao Prefecture.

Chapter 30 Everyone else is just making do.

Wangjing Tower.

Bored out of her mind, Bai Zhizhi spent her days playing with cats and dogs and catching ants. Finally, at sunset, Mu Qingcheng arrived.

The little girl's bright eyes instantly lit up with a joyful smile. She instructed the waiter to serve the dishes, called on the entertainers to prepare a show, and brought out two jars of fine Shaoxing wine. She said with great enthusiasm, "Sister Mu, to celebrate our long-awaited reunion, let's drink until we drop tonight, okay?"

"Zhizhi, I'm leaving soon..."

"Where are you going? Sister Mu, I've found some male entertainers from Shuanghua Pavilion. They're all incredibly handsome young men. I've asked around; they can recite poetry, play the zither, dance, and even play drinking games. I guarantee they'll make you happy and wash away all your fatigue!"

Upon hearing this, Mu Qingcheng was so shocked that she almost fell off the stool!
"Bai Zhizhi!" She barely managed to steady herself on the corner of the table, swallowed hard, and gritted her teeth. "I really thank you!"

Bai Zhizhi was completely unaware, "We're like family, right? Sister Mu, you don't need to be so polite."

As she finished speaking, she gently patted her palms, and a young man dressed in red walked out from behind the screen, bowed to them, and said with a gentle smile, "Zison greets the two young ladies."

Bai Zhizhi immediately asked considerately, "Sister Mu, how about this one? If you don't like it, there are others..."

Having seen someone as stunningly beautiful as Song Shuyu, everyone else is just a compromise.

Just as Mu Qingcheng was about to send the performer away, something suddenly flashed through her mind, and she blurted out, "Wait!"

Bai Zhizhi said happily, "Sister Mu has taken a liking to you? Alright then, Young Master Zisong, show us what talents you have."

"Zhizhi, I don't watch the show. I have a few questions I want to ask him." Mu Qingcheng calmed the restless Bai Zhizhi down and looked at Zisong. "Are you from Shuanghua Pavilion?"

"Yes," Zisong replied calmly.

Mu Qingcheng continued, "I have a friend named Wantang. I heard she works as a courtesan at Shuanghua Pavilion. Do you know her? I've been separated from her for many years and can't find her anywhere." Upon hearing this, Zisong's eyes flickered slightly, and his tone, unlike his previous warm and gentle manner, took on a subtle chill. "I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you, Miss. I only went to Shuanghua Pavilion this spring and don't know the person you're talking about."

"Alright." Mu Qingcheng didn't press the matter further. She gave Bai Zhizhi a wink, and the girl immediately understood, tossing over a silver ingot. "Young Master Zisong, you can go back now."

Zisong accepted the silver and politely took his leave, saying, "Thank you, young lady. I hope you will take good care of me in the future."

Bai Zhizhi waved her hand dismissively, "No problem."

As soon as Zisong left, Bai Zhizhi's face fell, looking both aggrieved and pitiful. "Sister Mu, who is Wantang? Is she prettier and cuter than me?"

"Zhizhi, stop fooling around, let's talk about something serious."

Mu Qingcheng took out a letter from his pocket and said, "I would like to ask you to deliver this letter to my father. This letter is very important, and there must be no mistakes!"

“No problem, I will arrange for people to leave the capital overnight and use my father’s secret agents. They will reach Jiangnan within five days.”

"There's one more thing. Zisong definitely knows Wantang, and I want you to help me investigate Wantang, the sooner the better."

"Why investigate? Isn't Wan Tang Sister Mu's friend?"

“Wantang is related to the case of the corpse hanging at the temple gate. I was afraid that the news would leak out, so I lied to Song and said that she was my friend.”

Although Bai Zhizhi has the mindset of a child, she is absolutely reliable when it comes to serious matters. She clenched her fist and said firmly, "Don't worry, Sister Mu, I guarantee I will complete the mission!"

There will be another chapter tonight! Thank you all for your support, my darlings! Love you all!
