Chapter 40: The Snow-clad Prince
After listening to Yin Xing's intermittent narration, Song Qingci couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this girl is so lucky.
"Okay, stop crying. I was fine originally, but now that you're crying, people who don't know me will think something is wrong with me~" Really, Yinxing cried so much that her head hurt.
This was a completely new experience that she had never experienced before.
Who would cry like this in front of her before?
Yin Xing took several deep breaths, trying to hold back her tears and voice. After successfully holding back her face until it turned red, she nodded and said, "Yes, Madam. I won't cry anymore."
Feng Yi looked at her and almost couldn't help laughing.
The result was a vicious look from Yinxing.
Song Qingci handed Yin Xing a handkerchief and said, "Wipe it quickly. Since you are here, just stay with me. Accompany me to walk around this place."
Yin Xing nodded in agreement. She put the handkerchief she had used to wipe her tears into her arms and followed closely behind Song Qingci.
The master and servant strolled around casually as if they were strolling in a garden.
Yin Xing didn't know what the young lady was going to do. Isn't it tiring to hang around like this? !
We just experienced such a terrible thing yesterday, shouldn’t we have a good rest now?
Just as he was thinking, a maid in white came forward and bowed respectfully, saying, "Greetings, Madam Major General. The master invites you to meet him in the main hall."
The owner here wants to see her. Coincidentally, she also wants to see him.
The layout here seemed very random, but Song Qingci could see that some strange techniques were incorporated into these arrangements. She was curious about what kind of person arranged this place.
"Lead the way."
"This way, please."
The maid in white brought Song Qingci to the main hall door and then left.
Song Qingci looked up and saw the four big characters "Wind, Flowers, Snow and Moon" written on the plaque at the entrance of the main hall.
Oh, this is strange.
The plaques in the main hall usually don't have words like "A Gifted Affair", "Purple Air Coming from the East", "Farming and Studying to Pass Down the Family" and so on. It was the first time she saw someone hang a plaque with words like "Romance, Flowers, Snow and Moon".
The owner here must be an interesting person.
"You wait for me outside." Song Qingci was not so tactless. Didn't he see that the maids didn't even go in? It would be better to leave Yinxing outside.
After Song Qingci finished explaining things to Yin Xing, she walked in. The first person she saw was Shan Li.
"Why are you here too?" "Shouldn't he be checking what happened yesterday?"
"Mr. Snow-clad is my friend."
"Oh, I see." Song Qingci turned sideways and nodded to the man in snow-white clothes beside Shan Li, "Hello, I am Song Qingci."
This Mr. Snow Suit really lives up to his name. He is dressed in all white and must be very scary in the middle of the night.
However, he was good-looking. With this snow-white coat, he really looked like a jade-like person.
Sure enough, good-looking people only hang out with good-looking people.
Shan Li and the young man in snow-covered clothes stood together. Although they had two completely different styles, they were both equally pleasing to the eye.
Shan Li moved his position slightly to block Song Qingci's sight of the young man in snow-white clothes.
Mr. Xue Yi smiled and returned the greeting to Song Qingci, "I am Xue Yi. I am honored."
Song Qingci asked with a smile, "When I first came here, I saw the layout of the front yard and the garden. I wonder if it was designed by Master Xue Yi?"
Mr. Xue Yi was obviously stunned for a moment, and even glanced at Shan Li before replying, "No. That was the work of a friend of mine. Does the Madam of the Major General think there is anything wrong with it?"
"Oh, so you're my friend." Song Qingci didn't care. She was just curious. "I'm just asking out of curiosity."
"The young general's wife also knows the art of Qimen Dunjia?!" "Isn't she the eldest daughter of the Shangshu family? How come she is so skilled in martial arts and medicine? Could it be that she also knows the art of Qimen Dunjia?!"
Song Qingci waved his hands quickly, "No, no, no, I don't really understand, I can only see a little bit. I once knew an old friend who was very proficient. Under his influence, I can understand some of it."
Old friend?
Where is this old friend from? Shan Li felt that this person must not be from here. He should be from the same place as her.
She is so amazing, so her friends must be amazing too...
"So that's how it is. I wonder if the Madam of the Major General could introduce your friend to me?" "Mr. Xue Yi is also very fond of talents. He would naturally want to get to know someone who has great abilities.
Song Qingci's mood suddenly dropped, and after a while she said, "He's not here, so there should be no chance to introduce him."
What separates them now is not only time but also space.
She would probably never see him again in this life.
Seeing Song Qingci's sudden depression and what she said, Mr. Xue Yi thought that the old friend Song Qingci mentioned was no longer alive. So he didn't say anything else. He just added naturally, "If that's the case, there's no need to force it. I'm sorry for being rude."
Looking at the appearance of the Young Master in Snow Clothes, Song Qingci felt that he seemed to have misunderstood something, but she had no way to explain it.
Oh, never mind, that's it~
"I wonder why Master Xue Yi asked me to come here?" Song Qingci remembered that she was invited here.
The Snow-clad Young Master took out a book from his sleeve and handed it to Song Qingci, saying, "This is the result of Fengxue Tower's investigation into the assassination of the young general's wife yesterday."
Song Qingci turned his head to look at Shan Li, his eyes full of inquiry, isn't this more suitable for you?
Shan Li understood the meaning of her eyes and said, "I have seen it, and I think you should see it too."
So that's how it is. Song Qingci took the book, opened it and started reading.
As she watched, she began to sneer and said to Shan Li, "Are you treating me as a fool or you as a fool?"
''Probably both.''
"Pfft!" Song Qingci really couldn't hold back this time and burst out laughing.
Oh my god, I didn’t expect that Dan Li also has the potential to tell jokes.
Looking at Song Qingci's laughter without any hesitation or affectation, Shan Li also curled up the corners of his lips.
Young Master Snow-Cloaked suddenly felt like he was redundant here.
Song Qingci laughed enough before he slowly stopped, adjusted his breathing, and got back to the topic.
''Who would believe what's written here?''
Shan Li shook his head gently and said, "No one needs to believe it. Because this is all we can find out about this matter."
That's all there is to it.
