Chapter 650: Relieving Lovesickness
Watching Su Qingqing and her group leave in embarrassment, Wei Zhao raised his eyebrows sarcastically.
"It is rumored that Concubine Su is intelligent and blessed. She is deeply loved by the noble ladies in the capital. Even the queen often summons her to the palace to accompany her. I thought she was really a smart person, but today I see that it is completely different from what was rumored."
After saying this, Wei Zhao glanced sideways at Yan Shu.
"She seems to have a grudge against you. Did you know her before, sister-in-law?"
Yan Shu was startled when Wei Zhao called her "sister-in-law". This should be the first time they met. The title of "sister-in-law" was too inappropriate, especially since she was wearing men's clothes.
Without waiting for Yan Shu to speak, Jiang Ci glanced at Wei Zhao coldly and said, "This is not the name you should call me."
Wei Zhao laughed: "We are friends, your sister-in-law is my..."
Before he could finish his words, Jiang Ci gave him a warning look, and Wei Zhao tactfully shut up.
Jiang Ci walked up to Yan Shu and Cui Mengsheng and said, "Let's talk upstairs."
Yan Shu nodded, and the group walked up the stairs. Jiang Ci walked side by side with Yan Shu behind them, and took the initiative to reach out and hold her hand tightly.
"Did you encounter any difficulties along the way?"
Yan Shu's cheeks were slightly hot as he held his hand: "With the Cui family guards here, everything will go smoothly."
"That's good."
Jiang Ci stared at her with deep eyes, trying to make up for all the thoughts he had during this period of time.
Arriving at the non-open area on the third floor, the group entered Jiang Ci's study.
As soon as Wei Zhao sat down, he took the initiative to ask: "Brother Mengsheng, you are so anxious to see me today after arriving in the capital, what's the matter?"
Cui Mengsheng glanced at Yan Shu and said, "Let Sister Shuer speak in person."
Wei Zhao and Jiang Ci looked at Yan Shu at the same time.
Yan Shu asked, "I heard from Grandpa Cui that Prince Wei is working in the Ministry of Justice?"
Wei Zhao took a sip of tea and nodded slowly.
"That's right, little sister-in-law, is there anything I can help you with? We are all family, and I will never refuse to help you as long as I can!"
Yan Shu automatically ignored Wei Zhao's affectionate address. This man was completely different from Jiang Ci's distant and cold personality. He was simply a typical social bull.
"I heard that the murder of Zuo Yuyi's family has been handed over to the Ministry of Justice for a thorough investigation. Has the whereabouts of the murderer been found?"
Wei Zhao looked at Yan Shu with a slightly surprised expression: "Why is my sister-in-law concerned about the murder of Zuo Yuyi?"
"I was asked by someone to find out about the progress of the case."
"Who asked you to do this?"
Yan Shu glanced at Jiang Ci, and Jiang Ci explained, "There is already some progress in this case, but there is insufficient evidence so we can't touch them for the time being."
"Are you looking for the young master of the Zuo Mansion?"
Jiang Ci nodded: "On the night of the incident, only Young Master Zuo was missing. He is the most important witness. As long as we find him, we can identify the murderer who killed the entire Zuo family."
Yan Shu said, "I know where he is."
Wei Zhao asked excitedly: "Where is he?"
Yan Shu glanced outside the door: "Is it safe here?"
Jiang Ci said: "This is a closed area, there are secret guards on duty all around."
After listening to Jiang Ci's words, Yan Shu recounted what happened when he met Zuo Xiu outside the city.
"I guess the murderer must be looking for Zuo Xiu's whereabouts. It would be difficult to ensure his safety if we hand him over to the Ministry of Justice, so I thought of coming to you to discuss countermeasures first."
Wei Zhao said, "Sister-in-law's worries are justified. We openly asked the Ministry of Justice to search for the child's whereabouts in a big way, but it was just to disrupt the murderer's judgment. The false news that has been spread from time to time in the capital in the past few days is to lure them in. We have been targeted, and the child is safest if he stays with you."
Jiang Ci looked at Yan Shu: "Did he tell you the identity of the murderer?"
"He said the murderer was a middle-aged man. He had never seen him in the mansion before, but his grandfather seemed to know him."
"I want to go and see the child myself tonight."
"Okay, I'll make arrangements."
After discussing the serious matters, Yan Shu and Cui Mengsheng prepared to leave.
Jiang Ci reached out to stop Yan Shu: "Master Cui, my sister-in-law and I have something important to discuss."
Cui Mengsheng glanced at Jiang Ci. He vaguely realized that the Seventh Prince seemed to mind that he and Yan Shu were too close, and even regarded him as a love rival. The two had been in contact for a period of time, and he had some understanding of the Seventh Prince. This person had a strong sense of territory, especially when it came to dealing with Yan Shu. He wished he could get rid of all the opposite sex around her before he could feel at ease.
Although he did have a liking for Yan Shu when they first met, he quickly adjusted his attitude after learning about her relationship with Jiang Ci. A gentleman does not take away what others like, not to mention that this woman is now his nominal sister. The Seventh Prince still treated him like a thief and was on guard against him.
After complaining in his heart, Cui Mengsheng said to Yan Shu: "Sister, I will wait for you outside."
Yan Shu also happened to have something he wanted to discuss with Jiang Ci in private, so he nodded in agreement.
Jiang Ci looked at Wei Zhao who was sitting nearby drinking tea. The latter raised his eyebrows slightly, stood up tactfully and walked in front of Cui Mengsheng.
"We haven't seen each other for a while, so let's go downstairs to have some tea and catch up."
"Okay, please, Prince."
Wei Zhao accompanied Cui Mengsheng away. After leaving the house, Wei Zhao turned around and smiled meaningfully.
"It's still early, you two can chat slowly."
Jiang Ci exerted his internal force in his hand, and the door slammed shut.
"you……"
As soon as Yan Shu opened his mouth, Jiang Ci pulled him into his arms.
The tip of her nose touched a hard chest, and her words were blocked by the other party's unexpected kiss.
His kiss was as hot as fire, conquering her without giving her any chance to hesitate. The long-cherished longing completely erupted at this moment. Yan Shu threw off the shackles on his body, took the initiative to stretch out his hands to hook Jiang Ci's neck, slowly closed his eyes and focused on sniffing his breath.
The kiss was deep and lingering. Jiang Ci felt the person in his arms responding to him actively, like a child who was rewarded with candy. A sweet feeling spread in his heart.
His kiss became more and more passionate. He clasped her slender waist tightly with both hands. He lifted her up and sat her on the eight-immortal table behind him. He held her waist tightly with both hands, wishing he could rub her into his bones and blood and merge her into one with him.
For a long time, Jiang Ci suppressed the burning blood in his body and buried his head in Yan Shu's arms.
Yan Shu's hair was disheveled after being kissed by him, his men's clothes were wrinkled, his eyes were a little blurry, his pink lips were as gorgeous as ripe cherries, and he looked so charming and seductive that it was tempting to commit a crime.
Jiang Ci stared at her quietly with his deep eyes for a while, afraid that if he didn't get up, he would lose control, so he closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths. Only when he opened his eyes again did he regain his rationality.
He slowly helped her put her clothes in order. Yan Shu looked at him and said, "Don't you have something important to discuss?"
She didn't even have time to say anything as he kissed her for so long.
Jiang Ci curled his lips and smiled: "Does it count as a way to relieve my longing?"
Yan Shu:……
