Chapter 132 Found it
Qi Minxiu quickly read through it and put the letter down without saying a word.
Xiao Mo hummed and moved closer to him: "How is it?"
"What's going on?" He lowered his eyes, as if afraid that Xiao Mo would see something.
Xiao Mo smiled and straightened up, then opened the other boxes: "Yun, pick a few you like and put the rest away."
Shen Yun was flattered and shook her head: "I don't want it. These things are given to you by the emperor. How can I accept them?"
"You also said that the emperor has given it to me, so these things are mine. Since they are mine, I can give them to whoever I want."
Shen Yun took a step back with a little resistance, without refusing or making a choice.
Xiao Mo picked out those things one by one, and chose a few simple and beautiful ones to put aside.
"You can keep the rest. Since you don't want them, I'll pick a few and send them to Aunt Feng."
She raised her eyebrows and glanced at Shen Yun, then smiled and said, "I think these are the types that Aunt Feng would like. What do you think, Yun?"
Shen Yun's eyes flickered dimly, and she lowered her chin slightly: "She likes anything you choose."
For some reason, Xiao Mo asked her to pick the ones she liked, but she refused and instead chose a few for Feng Zhiqiu. She then felt inexplicably sour in her heart.
Xiao Mo smiled faintly and picked up a jade hairpin, admiring it carefully: "This one is crystal clear, keep it, and take the others."
Shen Yun opened her mouth but said nothing in the end.
The next day, Qi Minxiu brought Ling Su, Xiao Mo and Shen Yun to help Feng Zhiqiu move.
She liked the house in Taohua Lane very much. When everyone found out that the house had no name, they asked Feng Zhiqiu to give it one.
She said she was uneducated, so she just randomly named it "Taoyuan".
In the evening, Qi Yue had just returned to the East Palace after finishing his official business. Before he even entered the house, the people sent by Yuan Mu ran into him.
He glanced at the man without stopping and said, "Come in and answer."
After paying his respects, the man respectfully followed him into the palace.
"What did you find out?" Qi Yue looked at him coldly, his expression devoid of any warmth.
The man knelt in the hall and respectfully reported what he had seen and heard in the past few days.
"As far as I know, General Xiao bought a house in Taohua Lane, West Street, South City.
That house belongs to the Lu family, so Your Highness met them at the restaurant that day."
Qi Yue frowned when he heard this: "Why would she buy a house there?"
"For the past two days, I have been squatting in Taohua Lane day and night, but there has been no movement.
This morning, His Royal Highness Prince Chen and General Xiao moved in with a middle-aged woman."
"Middle-aged woman?" Qi Yue was confused: "Who is this woman?"
"I don't know, but judging by his attire, he doesn't look like a wealthy man."
Yuan Mu stood beside Qi Yue, thinking about what the man said.
"From what you said, General Xiao bought the house for that middle-aged woman to live in?"
The man nodded uncertainly: "At the moment, it seems so."
Qi Yue looked at the man kneeling on the ground with an unfathomable look in his eyes: "You just said that His Royal Highness Prince Chen is here too?"
The man paused, lowered his voice, and replied, "Yes."
The relationship between Qi Yue and Qi Minxiu was known to almost everyone in the palace and even the imperial city, not to mention the people in the various mansions.
After asking the questions, he waved his hand to dismiss the kneeling man, and a new idea already came to his mind.
The next day, after the morning court session, Qi Yue had him taken to Taoyuan.
When Feng Zhiqiu went there, he was watering flowers in the yard. When he heard the noise coming from the door, he thought it was Xiao Mo.
"Why is it so early today?"
Qi Yue didn't respond and walked lightly behind her.
Feng Zhiqiu felt something was wrong, stopped what he was doing, and slowly turned around.
When their eyes met, they were both shocked by the person in front of them.
When Xiao Mo fell off the cliff, after Qi Minxiu left, Qi Yue went to the bottom of the cliff to mourn and met Feng Zhiqiu who went out to help Xiao Mo find the jade pendant.
At that time, they looked into each other's eyes as they do now.
Because the time and place were so special, they both remembered each other's appearance, even the surprised expressions on their faces.
After looking at each other for a moment, they asked in unison: "It's you?!"
Qi Yue looked at Feng Zhiqiu in confusion, and Feng Zhiqiu also stared at him warily.
Sensing her fear, Qi Yue curled the corners of his mouth and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, I am Xiao Mo's friend."
Hearing that he was Xiao Mo's friend, Feng Zhiqiu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but she still kept her distance from him.
In order to dispel her vigilance, Qi Yue explained again with a smile.
"At the bottom of the cliff, I thought Amo was dead, so I built a grave for her by the river.
The day I met you, I was just coming back from offering incense to her."
Feng Zhiqiu recalled the scene of that day, then looked up at Qi Yue with a sincere face, and the line of vigilance on his face completely disappeared.
She put down what she was holding and smiled as she invited him into the house to sit down.
Originally, Xiao Mo arranged four maids for her, but she didn't want so many, so she asked for two.
After entering the house, the maid brought two cups of tea and then went to the yard to work.
Qi Yue looked around, glanced at Feng Zhiqiu with a faint smile, picked up the tea on the table and took a sip.
"Mmm, this tea smells delicious."
"This was sent to me by Moer." Feng Zhiqiu smiled happily.
Qi Yue put down the teacup and praised Xiao Mo for being sensible.
"Amo is such a kind-hearted person. No matter who gives her a little kindness, she will repay it with a spring of gratitude."
Feng Zhiqiu nodded affirmatively: "Yes, in fact, I just discovered her by accident.
Seeing that she was still breathing, I took her back to my residence, thinking that saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda.
Qi Yue's originally expressionless face changed instantly when he heard Feng Zhiqiu say that she saved Xiao Mo.
"She was seriously injured at that time, right?" Qi Yue asked with a trembling voice.
He couldn't imagine what Xiao Mo would look like if she fell from such a high cliff.
Feng Zhiqiu recalled the scene when she went up the mountain to collect herbs and rescued Xiao Mo with a blank look.
"She was unconscious in the grass half a person's height, her clothes were soaked in blood, and there was not a single piece of skin on her face.
To be honest, I was also shocked when I saw her for the first time."
Qi Yue listened to these words with a heavy heart. No wonder they hadn't found anyone after searching for so long.
It turned out that he had been rescued by a kind-hearted person a long time ago.
