Ever since that incident, Du Paihong felt that she and her big brother could no longer be as close as they used to be. Sometimes, she would deliberately distance herself from her brother. For example, when she ate, she would no longer sit at the same table as Du Youlong. Instead, she would order the waiter to bring the food into her room and enjoy it alone. Sometimes, as long as the other party said something, her heart would beat faster and she would have the urge to leave.
In the past, she had always used a very natural tone to act coquettishly with her brother. But now, she couldn't even say a word normally!
At this moment, Du Youlong returned from outside with a white paper bag in his hand. He quickened his pace and walked to Du Penhong.
Everything was still the same for him.
"Pian Hong?" Ever since that incident, Du Pian Hong had noticed that his big brother no longer called her little sister. Instead, he called her "Pian Hong".
"What's the matter?" Du Penhong turned his head and looked past Du Youlong at the bonsai on the opposite side.
"After investigation, we found out that there really is a problem with these Fen Province tea leaves!”Du Youlong walked to the table and opened the packet of white paper. He scattered some dark green powder and said,""I asked the doctor today. The doctor said that this is Sanwei Misan, an anesthetic that can make people unconscious. In other words, Hou Yuying probably sprinkled the powder on the tea leaves, which is why you fainted after drinking the tea.”
" In addition…" Du Youlong continued," The doctor once told me that if San Wei Mi San and Rosemary were used together, it could cause a person's mind to go crazy. If it was mild, they would faint, and if it was serious, they would go crazy!”
"Big Brother, you mean…" Du Penhong hesitated,""At that time, it was very likely that I inhaled rosemary and drank tea mixed with Sanwei powder, which was why I fainted in the room?”
"Yes!" Du Youlong put away the packet of dark green powder, stood up, and said to Du Penhong,""Pian Hong, I still have to visit someone. After meeting this person, I can confirm the next suspicious thing.”
"I'll go too!" Du Penhong stood up, but he was stopped by Du Youlong.
He shook his head and sighed. Then, he lowered the light in his eyes and slowly said,"Pian Hong, although you didn't say it, I could feel that you were avoiding me. Forget it, I think we all need time to calm down. You'd better stay in the inn and not go out!”
Du Pianhong had no choice but to sit down obediently. As a result, she watched Du Youlong leave with her own eyes, and her heart was filled with deep worry.
Perhaps, she really could not treat him as honestly as she used to!
She was the one who said that she should treat Du Youlong as her favorite big brother. However, ever since that incident, there seemed to be a grudge in her heart that she had to take it to heart.
In the end, she still could not face him calmly!
Thus, she sighed, turned around, and walked back to her room.
"Sir, someone is looking for you downstairs." After a while, the waiter knocked on the door and said,"The person said that his name is Hou Jiawei and asked Miss to go down.”
Hou Jiawei? How did he know she was here?
Most importantly, why was he looking for her now?
Du Pian Hong tidied up his appearance briefly, then pushed open the door and went downstairs to meet the guests. At this moment, she could see Hou Jiawei's blue robe from the stairs.
He was wearing a blue robe embroidered with gold, and he looked so old!
Du Shanhong frowned slightly and walked up to the other party.
"You're here." Hou Jiawei had one foot on the stool and one hand supporting his chin, looking like a hooligan.
Du Pianhong replied softly, then raised his eyebrows to indicate that the other party had something urgent to discuss.
"It's like this." Hou Jiawei briefly explained," Regarding my sister's case, I found a reliable helper. If we can get his help, we can find out the truth in less than a day! Let's go find him now!" After saying that, he reached out his hand to grab Du Penhong.
" Wait…" Du Penhong took a step back and asked,""Who is this person? Why do we have to meet him personally? Why didn't you introduce him to me?" Du Shanhong had not forgotten the danger he was in. She couldn't go out easily. If outsiders found her, it would only give the real murderer a chance to kill her.
Therefore, she had to be careful.
"This person is called Situ Qing Yu, the supervisor of Hanwen Garden. He knew everything about astronomy and geography, and was known as the God of the World.”As Hou Jiawei spoke, he gave Du Paihong an impatient look, hinting for Du Paihong to stop putting on airs like a rich young lady, lest he offended a saint!
"Oh." Du Pian Hong nodded and roughly understood the situation." So, where are you taking me? Do you know where Situ Qingyu is now?”
When Hou Jiawei heard this, he only gave Du Penhong a confident expression.
"Where else can a man go now?" he asked. Of course, it was in the midst of makeup.”After he finished speaking, he laughed out loud and then glanced at Du Pian Hong with a provocative look in his eyes.
He thought that Du Pian Hong would definitely be timid and want to make things difficult for her to avenge his previous hatred. After all, as long as it was a woman, she would consciously retreat three feet when she heard about those piles of makeup. Moreover, Du Pian Hong was the daughter of the Grand Preceptor's Residence, a born daughter of a noble family.
However, Hou Jiawei had obviously missed a step.
What he didn't know was that Du Pian Hong had even been to the Hundred Flower Yard and had seen a real battle with his own eyes. How could he be as timid and shy as an ordinary woman?
Therefore, when he heard Du Pian Hong's affirmative answer, he immediately froze on the spot, his eyes widened in disbelief as he pointed at Du Pian Hong.
" You…you…" He shook his fingers, looking disgusted as if he had eaten sh * t." Are…are you still a woman?" Even a brothel!"
Du Pianhong ignored the other party's accusation. She casually tied her scattered black hair into a high bun, then found a folding fan with plum blossoms on it and gestured to Hou Jiawei.
Looking from afar, he really did have the appearance of a young talent.
"Brother Hou, bring me there." She waved her folding fan and smiled." Bring me to meet the legendary Shen Jizi."”
" Cough cough..." Hou Jiawei had no choice but to walk in front silently. He secretly clenched his fists and calculated his next chance.
Next time, I won't let you deal with it easily!
Du Shanhong pondered as he walked.
What kind of person was Situ Qingyu?
She couldn't help but look forward to it.
