Xin Yi looked up at him, "Do you really want it?"

Fu Jiuqu nodded his lips, his eyes sparkling, as if they were caught in a glass wind lantern, extremely bright.

Xin Yi brought his head closer, looked at him and smiled.

This man was born well and had an extraordinary appearance. When he saw such a beautiful face and grace, Xin Yi couldn't help but smile and rolled his eyes.

"Are you back? Brother Ninth?"

Fu Jiuqu's face stiffened at a visible speed.

Even though she knew what kind of trick she was playing, she was still so upset that she lost all mood.

"You know how to disgust me." He straightened up, slapped Xin Yi's head hard, and rubbed it hard, "I really want to twist your head off and see what's inside..."

Xin Yi raised his eyes and saw that his face was lifeless, so he pushed back hard.

"Don't you know best what's in my head? A great scientist..."

Fu Jiuqu grimaced, "One day, I will definitely export all the memory storage in your brain to see what brain circuits are there..."

Xin Yi pretended to be scared and held the plate of preserved fruits on the carriage table in front of him with both hands, "Please spare the little dog's head!"

Fu Jiuqu curled his lips.

He is easy to coax.

The subtle emotions were enough for Xin Yi to capture that relaxed gesture.

"Aren't you angry anymore?"

Fu Jiuqu lazily took a piece of candied fruit and threw it into his mouth.

"Ha! It's not worth being angry."

Xin Yi: "Now you can tell me, the origin of your confidante? What does it have to do with the case..."

Fu Jiuqu's handsome eyes squinted, his brows furrowed almost imperceptibly, and he smiled casually after a moment.

"Being with a woman like you is really not a bargain. That's all. I won't investigate this case anymore. It's too annoying..."

Xin Yi put down the porcelain plate of preserved fruits and lowered her head towards him.

"Okay, I'll just follow you."

Fu Jiuqu looked at the head and was slightly startled, "What are you doing?"

Xin Yi still lowered his head and his voice was deep, "Aren't you going to unscrew my head and dissect the organic structure? I am willing to sacrifice myself for your scientific ideal..."

The two of them had been together for so long, and each other would be able to detect any small signs. She didn't want to restrict Fu Jiuqu's life, nor did she want to take advantage of others and show off to others, so she tried her best to act petty in exchange for him.

Good mood.

But the voice fell for a long time, and no answer was heard.

It was quiet all around, except for the squeaking and groaning of the carriage running through the mud.

Xin Yi slowly raised his head and met Fu Jiuqu's eyes——

The clouds are light and frosty, and the sky is smiling, tender and affectionate.

"You don't have to force yourself to make me happy." He held Xin Yi's hand, motioned her to sit still, and narrowed his eyes slightly: "Just let me make you happy."

Xin Yi was speechless.

I always thought that he was a science and engineering man with extremely simple emotional logic and lacked some touch on female psychology. But who said that science and emotion are two opposite directions? As he said, a person with a high IQ must have extraordinary abilities.

With agility, anything he does will be easier. It’s just a matter of where he wants to use his IQ...

The carriage moved slowly.

After a moment of silence, Fu Jiuqu suddenly smiled.

"Have you ever noticed that Master Qingyu's "Dong Xian Song" is different?"

The conversation changed so quickly that Xin Yi couldn't keep up.

"I've only heard of him, so I can't compare him."

Fu Jiuqu: "There is something wonderful about him being famous for a while. Of course, you don't know anything about music and can't sense it..."

Xin Yi stared at him.

A person who has determined his dream of scientific research since he was a child will naturally not be proficient in classical music.

Therefore, the reason why he is so sure and confident is that Guangling County Prince, the number one scholar, is proficient in music...

In a sense, he is no longer the same person as before, and he is not just similar to the Guangling County Prince, they have long been closely integrated.

Xin Yi looked at him and was speechless for a moment.

Fu Jiuqu raised his eyes slightly and looked at her.

"The woman you saw can also sing "Dong Xian Song", and she plays the same tune as Mr. Qingyu..."

Xin Yi: "So she is an actress? I thought she was the daughter of a noble family."

She thought she had some background to be treated as a distinguished guest by Master Tongpan, but she didn't expect that it was just because Lord Zhizhou looked at her a few more times...

Fu Jiuqu thought she was off topic and frowned.

"It doesn't matter who she is, what's important is her relationship with Mr. Qingyu and the three members of the family who died tragically in the fireworks incident..."

Xin Yi asked: "What's the relationship?"

Fu Jiuqu said: "Her name is Yu Mei, and she has the same surname as Young Master Qingyu."

One is Yumei and the other is Yudu.

Xin Yi thought strangely for a moment, and his pores stood up.

"Did your cheap dad not only have a son, but also a daughter?"

In other words, that woman is Fu Jiuqu’s half-sister?

Isn’t that outrageous?

Seeing her slightly exaggerated expression, Fu Jiuqu hesitated and said nothing more.

"If you give me a little more time, I will definitely find out the truth."

Xin Yi looked at him dubiously, "Ge Tongpuan brought her to the house this morning and said he had something to give to you..."

After a pause, she asked: "What is it?"

Fu Jiuqu said calmly: "A sachet."

Sending sachets during the Dragon Boat Festival has a special meaning.

She stared at Fu Jiuqu, half-smiling but not smiling, "Then the little lady likes you?"

Fu Jiuqu almost lost her temper and laughed, "Do you care?"

Xin Yi thought about it seriously, "If the sachet is related to the case, I care. If it has nothing to do with the case, there is nothing to care about..."

Fu Jiuqu choked in his throat and did not respond.

He was thinking that this woman knew how to make him angry, when he heard Xin Yi sigh slightly.

"My confidante turns into brother and sister, what do we care about?"

The smile on Fu Jiuqu's lips jumped out uncontrollably. He patted Xin Yi's shoulder in a funny way and sat upright to look at her.

"Don't worry, it has nothing to do with the case."

"..."

He became serious again and said seriously:

"The inspectors under Shen Guangdong are very capable. They have not been idle for more than a month. They found out something about the two missing corpses in Zhenji's coffin shop..."

Xin Yi asked curiously: "How to say?"

Fu Jiuqu: "Originally, since you are pregnant, I don't want to talk to you about these dirty things, but if you insist on listening, then clean your ears..."

Xin Yi made an action like washing her ears, her pregnant body looked very naive.

"Tell me, clean up."

Fu Jiuqu raised the corner of his mouth, "What is certain at present is that the fireworks incident in the seventh year of Qingli was deliberately carried out by someone..."

"Did you do it on purpose?" Xin Yi's appetite was immediately whetted.

Fu Jiuqu hesitated and said with a smile: "It's a long story..."

"It doesn't matter, you speak slowly and I listen slowly."

"Um."

The carriage was swaying, and Fu Jiuqu's voice was clear and sweet.

"Back then, Fu Guangyi, the consort who was demoted to Yangzhou, rescued a woman who fell into the water on a boat. I don't know what happened to the two of them, but they soon had a brief romantic relationship..."

Unfortunately, before the woman could fly up a branch and become a phoenix, the prince-in-law died of illness on the way.

After the prince-in-law died, the woman lived in Jiangdu. When she found out she was pregnant, she had no choice but to marry an artist who performed medicine-haired puppets and gave birth to a son. This man was blinded by gunpowder during a performance. From then on, he changed his mind and was beaten.

His wife and children, drank and gambled, and ruined the family business... Until this man died in the fireworks explosion on New Year's Eve, he never stopped violence against his wife and children.

Xin Yi asked: "Could it be that this woman made a plan to escape from her life in order to get rid of her demon husband?"
