Chapter 17
At the beginning of Xia, he immersed himself in writing down some of the main points Liu Ying said on the paper. Liu Qi watched her write a few words and then stretched out his hand, "Brother Xia, why don't I do it."

Xia Chu was a little embarrassed, but he didn't refuse. He gave Liu Qi the pen and told Liu Qi what he needed to memorize.While she was talking, she secretly observed Liu Ying's expression, she just wiped her nails boredly, so she didn't have any special reaction.

When Liu Qi finished writing, Xia Chu stood up with him and was about to say goodbye. When they reached the door, Xia Chu suddenly turned back and asked Liu Ying: "Miss Liu, when you go out, is there a light in the southwest corner?"

Liu Ying recalled for a while, then shook her head slightly, "No. At that time, I was still wondering if the handyman in the elegant courtyard had gone somewhere to hide, why didn't he say to continue when the candle was extinguished, if he tripped someone, Miss Jiu would blame him He can't."

Xia Chu smiled, and asked again: "Why doesn't Miss Liu choose a bright place?"

Liu Ying covered her mouth with a handkerchief and coughed twice, then flipped her earrings again, and said sleepily: "If you drink too much, just walk around as you like, you don't care if it's dark or not."

Xia Chu nodded after listening, "I'm bothering Miss Liu."

After leaving Liu Ying's room for some distance, Liu Qi asked Xia Chu: "Is this Liu Ying suspicious?"

"It's a bit suspicious." Xia Chu frowned, the incense in the room made her very uncomfortable, wiped her fingers under her nose, and said: "It feels like she is avoiding or hiding something, but it's just my feeling."

Xia Chu frowned and bit his nails, "Does Master Liu know who Gong Yuanhe often looks for here?"

"How do I know!" Liu Qi said without thinking, and then said again: "This is easy to ask, you wait." After saying that, he left Xia Chu and ran away, and Xia Chu chased him before he had time.

After waiting in place for half an hour, when Xia Chu was hesitating whether to wait for Liu Qi or leave first, Liu Qi finally came back with a smile on his face.

"I asked, Gong Yuanhe is indeed a lover of novelty, but in the past six months he has ordered a dish called 'Hongying' quite a lot."

"Hongying..." Xia Chu silently read the name, turned around and walked slowly along the west corridor of the elegant courtyard, and stopped when he reached the door of the second room to the south, pointing to the The nameplate asked, "Is this it?"

"Yes." Liu Qi confirmed.

"This location..." Xia Chu looked around and raised his hand to knock on the door.

Hongying's maid opened the door and saw Xia Chu, and asked a bit bluntly, "What's the matter with you?"

Xia Chu didn't say much, and turned half a step to let Liu Qi stand in front of the door. The maid quickly changed her smile when she saw Liu Qi, "Ah? Isn't this Master Liu? Why are you here? But Mr. Jiang came to see us girl?"

Liu Qi reluctantly twitched the corners of his mouth, thinking that our young master is about to cut off his sleeve, so why would he want to find your girl.

"Let's find Miss Hongying to ask about the night Gong Yuanhe was killed. Is she there?"

The maid was a little hesitant, and was thinking about what to say, when a voice in the room said softly: "My lord, please come in."

It was very warm in Hongying's room. When Xia Chu and Liu Qi entered, they saw Hongying coming out from the room with a hanging curtain, a lotus leaf fluttering in the wind, wearing a light yellow and translucent shawl, with tender white shoulders. Like tender tofu wrapped in golden silk leaves, her complexion is fair and reddish, and there is a light and warm fragrance all over her body, as if she just took a bath.

Xia Chu glanced at Liu Qi quietly, seeing his unmoved look of "a beauty will be a dry bone sooner or later", he couldn't help but secretly smiled in his heart, thinking that this elder brother is not crooked, right?

Xia Chu turned back to look at Hongying, and smiled gently, "Miss Hongying, excuse me."

Hongying sized her up, and smiled more gently than her, "You're welcome. It's almost midnight, and I have to welcome guests at night. You two don't mind if I answer while putting on makeup?"

"I don't mind, you are busy with your work."

Hongying sat down in front of the dressing table, opened the dowry box and said, "Young Master Gong was in Sister Liu Ying's room that day, why don't you two ask Sister Liu, but me instead?"

"We have already asked Liu Ying. However, it is said that Gong Yuanhe has come to Shihua Pavilion to see you more often, so I want to ask you again."

"Oh." Hongying nodded slightly, dug out a piece of balm, spread it on her face, slowly spread it out, and looked at herself in the mirror with great pity, "Maybe it's because I haven't been listed for a long time, men like to make pictures Young and fresh."
