Chapter 189: Sound Lake(1/2)

Chu Xinyu didn't say anything. After his heart gradually calmed down, he began to appreciate the surrounding scenery. Now it is early summer, and there are green fields everywhere, with bright red flowers on the top of the mountain, and some turtledoes flying in the jungle.

Lin Chenyao looked at her round earlobes and lifted the hair on her cheek behind her ears. Seeing that she didn't speak, she only looked at the surroundings and said, "Why don't you talk?"

As he spoke, the warm breath sprayed towards Chu Xinyu's neck, making her feel itchy and numb. She couldn't help but lean forward and said, "Are we just watching the scenery along the way?"

He had asked her to try it before, but he thought she wanted her to try riding a horse. Although this was considered riding a horse, he didn't expect to ride a horse with him. Fortunately, they didn't meet an acquaintance all the way, otherwise, their intimate behavior of riding a horse together would be considered an indecent habit.

Lin Chenyao said: "Take you to Yinhu Bay."

"Yinhu Bay?" Chu Xinyu was surprised, "Didn't you been there yesterday? We were still grilling fish there." She thought Yinhu Bay was the same as Tingyinhu Lake.

"That's Tingyin Lake. The place I'll take you to. You can see the entire Tingyin Lake. The scenery is very beautiful."

After hearing what he said, Chu Xinyu seemed to be interested and urged: "Then let's go quickly."

Although you can walk slowly like this and you can browse the beautiful scenery along the way, the two of them have ambiguous posture, especially the warm chest behind them. The low and dull voice he spoke when he was talking sounded in her ears, as if a hand was twisting his heartstrings.

"No hurry, just not far ahead."

Seeing that she always avoided her when she was talking, Lin Chenyao suddenly wanted to tease her, so he deliberately blew into her ears. Chu Xinyu trembled all over and his ears turned red in an instant.

Lin Chenyao chuckled and continued to talk to her. Chu Xinyu tried her best to avoid it, but in the end she was almost lying on the back of the horse.

From the moment Lin Chenyao smiled, she knew that this man did it on purpose.

This is how people are. The more you avoid them, the more they will take advantage of the victory. When they reach the extreme, Chu Xinyu has no way to retreat, they have to rise up and resist.

Unexpectedly, her body suddenly rose, and Lin Chenyao was confused for a moment and was hit by the back of her head.

Chu Xinyu gasped in pain.

Lin Chenyao was not much better. He groaned, hugged Chu Xinyu's waist tightly and said, "Who taught you the trick of hurting the enemy like this and hurting one thousand times and eight hundred times?"

"No one taught me, you are forced by me." Chu Xinyu said in a muffled voice.

Lin Chenyao rubbed his nose and looked at her red as if it was burnt, and he felt happy. It turned out that when she approached, she had a red ear so easily.

After the collision just now, there was no awkward atmosphere between the two of them when they first shared the ride. Facing Lin Chenyao, Chu Xinyu could face him normally.

The horse walked slowly forward, and Chu Xinyu looked at the beautiful scenery around him and hummed a little tune in a happy mood.

"What kind of song are you humming?" Lin Chenyao asked. When she hummed the tune, her voice was clear and clean. In addition, the rhythm of the song she hummed made people feel lighter when they heard it.

Chu Xinyu said: "Is the folk tune good?" In fact, she didn't know what kind of song it was. She was in a happy mood and just hummed it like this. Unexpectedly, the rhythm and melody were all good.

"It sounds nice." Lin Chenyao smiled and said, "I'll have another song."

When Chu Xinyu saw that he liked to listen, he hummed another song.

This time it was the Shepherd's tune. She had heard it before. It was too long and only remembered the melody.

In this way, the two staggered to a halfway up the mountain. The terrain was relatively high. Only then did Chu Xinyu understand what he said before. Standing on a high place, you could see the entire Tingyin Lake.

The green lake surface is like a mirror, integrated with the blue sky, reflecting the mountains on both sides, as if strange-shaped mountains are growing in the water, and several white storks are flying and playing on the lake surface.

"From here, I see that the lake is so green!" Chu Xinyu couldn't help but praise: "It looks like a piece of green jade." When she looked at Tingyin Lake yesterday, she was not so beautiful, but now when she looked from a high place, she didn't expect another scenery.

Lin Chenyao dismounted first and then helped her down.

Chu Xinyu couldn't wait to run forward, stood in front of the rock, put his hands in a trumpet shape on both sides of his mouth, and shouted in the lake with "Ah!", but unexpectedly, an echo would come back, "Ahhh..."

"So Tingyin Lake is like this." Chu Xinyu said to Lin Chenyao who walked to her, and then shouted a few times into the lake. The echo came back, as if it was a series of beautiful notes.

Lin Chenyao couldn't help laughing when he saw her childish behavior.

Chu Xinyu pulled Lin Chenyao's sleeve and said, "You are like me, and shouted at the lake a few times."

After saying that, she made a test move and then said: "When people are depressed, stand on a mountain or cliff and shout in the open direction, and the depression will be vented. Otherwise, if you are stuck in your heart, you will get sick."

Lin Chenyao looked at her, "Are you depressed?"

Chu Xinyu nodded, "Are you sure." She not only felt depressed, but also resentful, but after screaming a few times, she felt much more comfortable.

"What is it?" Lin Chenyao asked.

Chu Xinyu did not answer him, looked for a clean, smooth big stone, sat down, faced the lake, and then slowly said: "Don't you know my question?"

Lin Chenyao sat down beside her, "In a few days, news about Zheng Ying will come back from Zhejiang." Liuying had already set out to Zhejiang to check Zheng Ying's bottom. Someone from his side also responded, and it should be found soon.

"How did you investigate Deng Guozhu?"

"He is very cunning. It seems that this man is very cautious in doing things, but he still finds out that his first pot of gold was that he bought a batch of rice at the lowest price. Not long after, a locust plague occurred in Shaanxi, and the people's grains were confiscated, so he sold the rice at a high price."

Chu Xinyu couldn't help but curse, "It's just a scumbag."

"Later, he used the silver he earned back from his first pot of gold and opened countless grain stores. This man seemed to be very talented in business. He could make money as long as the business he was involved in, and he had a very accurate plan. He would drill in wherever there was a disaster and always deliver disaster relief supplies as soon as possible."

"It's not that he predicted it correctly, but that he had guidance from experts behind him." Chu Xinyu sneered. She was absolutely sure now that Xu Zhilan must have contacted him. "Have you found out who he has a lot of contact with, or where he often goes the most?"

"Juxing Pavilion."

Juxing Pavilion? Chu Xinyu's eyebrows were gathered up, "Dinner?"

Lin Chenyao shook his head, "It is the most popular singing and dancing workshop by the Huansha River. I heard that there is a red spirit girl there, which is his favorite, so he often visits."

Chu Xinyu lowered her eyes and thought, and it seemed that there was nothing suspicious about it. It was inevitable that a man would be rich and lustful, but she had a premonition, and a strong premonition that there was something wrong with Juxing Pavilion.

"Can you help check the bottom of Juxing Pavilion?"

Lin Chenyao frowned slightly and looked at her and said, "Do you suspect there is something wrong with it?"

Chu Xinyu nodded, "Yes."

There is a very possibility that she will not miss it.

The Song and Dance House is a brothel, the easiest place to collect information. Since Deng Guozhu is running there, maybe visiting prostitutes is just a trick.

"Okay, I'll ask someone to check it out when I go back." After that, Lin Chenyao took out a brocade box from his arms and handed it to her, "This is a elixir, which can relieve the poison on your body."

Chu Xinyu took it, but did not open it, "Where is Mr. Fu Wu, has he taken the detoxification pill?"

Lan Yi came back from Zhuyuan and told her about Fu Guanzhang's situation. The insects in his body had been drawn out. Although he was still in a coma, if he took the elixir, he would wake up.

Lin Chenyao said: "I only got one at the moment, so you can eat it first."

Chu Xinyu stuffed the brocade box back to him, "You can give it to him first."

Lin Chenyao's face darkened and he whispered: "Do you know what you are doing?"

"I know, but he needs more than I do."

"He has a good physical condition. Although he is still in a coma, he can still be with him for a few days, but you are different. You have a poor physical condition. Venom can easily invade your body in your body."

He said this as conservative. With her constitution, she is easily infected. The most popular worm is her constitution, and it grows very quickly. Moreover, this worm has a short incubation period, and a strong constitution like Fu Guanzhang can produce worms overnight. Although she has little venom, who promises that it will not produce worms in a few days.

"Anyway, you give it to him first. He saved my life. I can't even take away his chance to wake up."

That was her brother, her parents' only bloodline. If she really had it, she would tell her cousin everything at that time, and he would definitely avenge her.

Seeing that she was so stubborn, Lin Chenyao said, "Do you know who put the poisonous snake in it?"

"who?"

"Funing's maid."

Chu Xinyu was surprised. When did she offend Funing because she didn't paint according to the time she gave her? But she wouldn't be killed because of this?

Suddenly, she remembered that Yang Qianjun told her about Funing's mother. Xu Zhilan helped her mother, so she did not let the concubine's conspiracy succeed. Because of this, she became her boyfriend with Xu Zhilan.

Could it be that it was because of the matter between her and Xu Zhilan that she wanted to venom her in order to help Xu Zhilan vent her anger?

Lin Chenyao continued: "Since it is Funing's maid, the poisonous snake is coming for you. They are the wrong person and will definitely find a way to remedy it. Moreover, Fu Yinghua and Funing are good friends. If she knew that we could not save Fu Guanzhang, she would definitely find a way to give Fu Guanzhang the antidote."

When Chu Xinyu heard this, he thought calmly about his words, thinking that what he said was not unreasonable. Besides, Funing, a girl from a noble family, rarely goes out in the capital, how could she know the poisonous insect? Maybe she would let the snake harm her. Xu Zhilan had known for a long time that the poisonous snake might be provided to Funing, and Funing was just a sharp blade in her hand that hurt her.

If her guess is correct, Xu Zhilan would definitely not let Fu Guanzhang die like this. If Fu Guanzhang dies, she will lose a strong backer. In the Duke of E's mansion, the one who really gets close to Fu Yinghua and cherishes her is Fu Guanzhang. Xu Zhilan cannot watch him waiting for death.

Lin Chenyao knew that she had thought it through, so he gave her the brocade box.

Chu Xinyu did not refuse this time.

"What did the maid say?" she asked.

Lin Chenyao shook his head, "Hold on his own."

"This reminds me of my stepmother's mother. She is obviously not her who listens to her master's words, but because of her loyalty, she takes all the responsibility." Chu Xinyu looked at him and said, "I feel that the matter of putting a snake this time is the same as my stepmother's. However, Funing may not be the real mastermind behind the scenes, and she is just a pawn of someone else."

Lin Chenyao's deep eyes suddenly narrowed, "You mean..."

Chu Xinyu seemed to know who he was thinking, nodded and said, "I'm guessing, but there's no evidence."

Lin Chenyao knew that she suspected that Fu Yinghua was a shadow man. If the release of the poisonous snake this time was really related to her, it would be easy to guess her identity.

The two of them were silent and looked at the lake quietly. The afternoon sun fell on the lake, and the breeze blew gently, showing colorful colors, as if countless gems were scattered on the water, shining brightly.

After a while, Chu Xinyu looked at him. Under the sunlight, the curve of the side face was perfectly carved, and the handsome face was so thrilling. No wonder Xu Zhilan wanted to turn around. Who would be willing to let go of such an extraordinary handsome man?

"If it were her, what would you do?" she asked.

Lin Chenyao did not answer and stood up. Chu Xinyu thought he would not answer this question, so he stood up as well, and heard him say, "Leave it to the Duke of E."

This is reasonable. After all, the one who hurts the most now is not her, but Fu Guanzhang. Before her identity was exposed, if she was handed over to the government, the Duke of E would definitely find a way to protect her. If she handed it over to the Duke of E, she would handle the family law. Moreover, after this, the people of the Duke of E would greatly reduce her character.

On the way back, Lin Chenyao asked Chu Xinyu to try riding a horse by himself. Chu Xinyu didn't know whether Zaiyue would be willing to ride for her, so he walked to it, stroked the snow-white hair on its neck, leaned into its ear and murmured a few words, and hugged it again.
To be continued...
