Chapter 112 Tracking
In the early morning, Zhu Jinxuan stood at the second door of the lobby of the inner courtyard of Dongsheng Inn, with a little hesitation at her feet.
Although after a night of self-dispute, she had found a reason to convince herself to continue to face Bai Shier with a normal mind, now standing here, thinking that she could see Bai Shier as soon as she took a step, her face still couldn't help but turn slightly red again.
It is impossible to just continue to hide from that guy, otherwise wouldn't he be ridiculed by that guy?
Finally, Zhu Jinxuan, who made up her mind in her heart, took a deep breath, opened the curtain and walked into the lobby.
There was no Bai Shier in the lobby, which surprised Zhu Jinxuan, and she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in her heart.
He casually found a table to sit down. Zhu Jinxuan was waiting for Bai Shier to appear in front of him, thinking about what expression would Bai Shier look like when he saw him after he waited.
But time passed quietly, and Zhu Jinxuan's mood gradually changed from uneasy to hesitation, and finally gradually changed to uneasiness and anxiety.
Finally, when the first guest stepped into Dongsheng Inn and Bai Shier still hadn't appeared yet, Zhu Jinxuan finally couldn't sit still.
"Shopkeeper Sun, where is that guy?"
Zhu Jinxuan tried her best to pretend to be careless on her face, but the steps beneath her feet betrayed her real idea.
"It's been so late. He hasn't come to work yet, so you don't care about the shopkeeper..."
"Miss Zhu,"
Sun Ji interrupted Zhu Jinxuan's caress and said that he had some sympathy in his eyes, but he made up his mind.
"Forget it, the 12th child is really not up to the top. The girl should go home with the servants as soon as possible, so she can save her parents and relatives from the family's concerns."
"Who said I..."
Zhu Jinxuan, who heard that Sun Ji treated Bai Shier and her as a pair, turned red and opened her mouth to refute, but immediately, her face froze.
"What does Shopkeeper Sun mean? What servant? What's that guy? What's wrong with him?"
Zhu Jinxuan had already guessed some of the eyebrows in her heart, but she still felt these lucky mentalities in her heart. She no longer cared about pretending and asked continuously like a cannon.
"Miss Zhu doesn't have to worry about Twelve. He is very good now. However, Miss Zhu, I'd better listen to my advice and go home as soon as possible. Don't be so obsessed with it anymore. Keep pestering it. It's not a good thing for you or Twelve."
Sun Ji naturally didn't know the complicated relationship between Bai Shier and Zhu Jinxuan. Seeing Zhu Jinxuan's anxious face, he naturally thought about it according to his own mind, and then naturally couldn't help but persuade Zhu Jinxuan with the attitude of a person who had experienced it.
Unfortunately, Sun Ji used the results obtained by his wrong judgment to persuade Zhu Jinxuan, which obviously would not have any effect.
...
Zhu Jinxuan, who was praised by Master Huiming for her "gentle and kind heart", was naturally not a stupid person. Before Sun Ji could finish her words, she figured out the key points.
So, this morning, Hu Xiaolin, who was relieved when he saw Bai Shier carrying a bag and boarding a donkey cart to Xin'an County, was called outside the town by Zhu Jinxuan with a bad expression.
"The princess is angry. I am doing this for the sake of the princess."
Hu Xiaolin naturally understood that his approach would definitely arouse Zhu Jinxuan's dissatisfaction with him, so he was prepared. As soon as he saw Zhu Jinxuan, he immediately began to persuade Zhu Jinxuan.
"The princess knows that the princess admires that guy very much, but,"
Hu Xiaolin looked at Zhu Jinxuan's face carefully and thought about his words.
"However, the official asked the shopkeeper of the inn that the young man was a beggar who fled. He heard that all the relatives in the family had suffered misfortune and had no father or mother. Thanks to the inn owner's kindness in taking him in, he had a place to stay..."
"What do you want to say?"
Listening to Hu Xiaolin's nagging and talking about these things that he had known in a month without any emphasis, Zhu Jinxuan frowned, not understanding what Hu Xiaolin had said without any emphasis and wanted to say. In his mood, he couldn't help but interrupt him with dissatisfaction.
"Ahem," Hu Xiaolin was suddenly interrupted by Zhu Jinxuan with dissatisfaction and almost choked. However, he still reacted immediately and came to the conclusion.
"Princess, what the minister wants to say is that such a humble inn waiter is not worthy of the princess' attention."
As if seeing the dissatisfaction on Zhu Jinxuan's face seemed to be changing to anger, Hu Xiaolin hurriedly continued.
"And, the lower officials did not force the waiter to leave with force."
"Hmm?" Zhu Jinxuan raised her eyebrows lightly, revealing her second emotion for the first time.
Seeing that his defense seemed to be effective, Hu Xiaolin did not dare to neglect and quickly told him all about the matter of finding Bai Shier last night.
"Princess, just twenty taels of silver, the waiter immediately changed his mind. It can be seen that he is simply a greedy and short-sighted villain, and he is not worthy of being like you, Princess..."
Hu Xiaolin told his contempt from the inside out with some resentment, hoping that Zhu Jinxuan could immediately recognize the other party's true face, turn back as soon as possible, and leave Yao Town.
But before Zhu Jinxuan could finish his words, she turned her head away with a dark face, making Hu Xiaolin a little confused.
I don’t know if Zhu Jinxuan turned around and left because she was dissatisfied with him or because she was disappointed with Bai Shier.
Unfortunately, Hu Xiaolin guessed everything wrongly.
However, it cannot be said that. Part of the reason why Zhu Jinxuan's face turned black was because she was dissatisfied with his proposition, and part of the reason was because she was angry with Bai Shier's approach. However, the fundamental reason behind it was completely different from what Hu Xiaolin thought.
Unlike Hu Xiaolin, Zhu Jinxuan had a roughly clear understanding of Bai Shier, and unlike others, they were completely blinded by the appearances they showed.
Therefore, Zhu Jinxuan didn't think that Bai Shier left Yao Town temporarily for the sake of just twenty taels of silver.
To be precise, Hu Xiaolin's twenty taels of silver happened to be the best excuse for him to leave Yao Town without any suspicion.
Thinking of this, Zhu Jinxuan couldn't help but feel annoyed.
"I'm so sorry that I still think I know him. How could I not expect that he would be curious about this increasingly troubling thing recently, and then participate in it?"
But immediately, Zhu Jinxuan couldn't help but "grip her teeth" again.
"Dengtuzi, do you think you can get rid of me by leaving secretly. I can't find you? Dreaming!"
At noon, Zhu Jinxuan, who had been staying in Dongsheng Inn for a month, checked out for the second time. She "buyed" a horse from Yuelai Inn opposite and quickly left Yao Town.
