Traveling through time and space to become a lady of a noble family, but she only wants to escape

Chapter 112 Murder Case

It is indeed good news.

Chu Yunchuan quietly solved the most serious threat in Bai Zhi's heart. There couldn't be any better news than this.

Bai Zhi bit Chu Yunchuan's lips and rubbed them gently, feeling her heart was filled up. She laughed heartily and said, "Good boy, you came prepared!"

The news of the engagement between Bai Da, the manager of Wenxianglou, and her handsome waiter spread throughout Qing County within two days. The girls who were interested in it withdrew their thoughts, and the girls who were not interested had seen enough. Wenxianglou finally returned to normal. Bai Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, but Zhou Shensi was in grief.

Bai Da's best friend, Captain Qiao, arrived late. Bai Zhi was looking at the account book at the counter that day when Qiao Wanwan, wearing light armor and sweating, rushed over and said, "Bai Zhi, you are engaged to that man? Why didn't you tell me? And how long has he been in Qing County? How long have you known each other?"

"Grandma, please keep your voice down. I have so many guests outside." Bai Zhi glanced at her and said, "I wanted to tell you this, but you have been so busy these past two days that I couldn't catch you at all."

"I've been busy these past two days, and I have to go see Lord Lin soon. Come on, tell me what's going on with this guy in one sentence."

Bai Zhi said succinctly: "I've known him for a long time, he's not a bad person."

Qiao Wanwan: "...Okay, as long as you know what's going on, I'm leaving now. I'll listen to your detailed explanation later."

Bai Zhi crossed the counter and grabbed Qiao Wanwan's shoulder armor: "Wait a moment, it's rare for my mother to look for you, what happened?"

Qiao Wanwan hurriedly looked around to see if there was anyone around, so she covered her mouth with her hand and lowered her voice: "There was a murder at Yuelai Inn, a barbarian died. It was said that he had an argument with a guest last night, and his rude words angered the other guests who were watching the fun, so the guests teamed up to beat him to death. You just listen to the fun, don't tell anyone."

"Beat someone to death?" Bai Zhi gasped. "What kind of dispute is it that requires beating someone to death?"

"I don't know about that yet. I was just planning to go over and listen to Master Lin's detailed explanation. Now I'm leaving."

Qiao Wanwan came in a hurry and left in a hurry.

There were not many people coming to eat today, so Chu Yunchuan did not greet customers at the door. When Bai Zhi walked out from the cashier counter, she saw him writing at an empty table in the corner, with a serious look on his face.

This is what Chu Yunchuan looked like during the more than two years when they had not seen each other, as he was alone in Prince Jing's mansion, reviewing documents one by one, doing his best and fulfilling his duties, repairing the wound one by one, until the wound was healed to its original state.

Considering the turmoil in the Thirteen States, Chu Yunchuan was just a half-grown boy. I guess he never learned how to stabilize the country, let alone build a family from scratch. Did he just copy what King Jing did in his memory and then managed to hold up the Thirteen States with his teeth?

It was by doing this that the Thirteen States were able to turn the page on the pain in just over two years.

Bai Zhi walked lightly and tiptoed to sit opposite him.

Chu Yunchuan's ears moved. People who practice martial arts have extraordinary hearing. He had already noticed Bai Zhi when she took two steps from the account desk. He put down his pen and poured tea for Bai Zhi. Bai Zhi leaned over the table with her head propped up, and asked with a smile, "What are you writing?"

Chu Yunchuan handed the paper over and said, "I plan to write a letter to Zhiheng detailing what I saw and thought in Qing County, so that he can see the real life of the people."

Those few pieces of paper described exactly the current living conditions of the people in Qing County.

Bai Zhi was shocked and said, "How can you distract yourself from doing this when you are trying to attract customers in the store? How many eyes do you have?"

Chu Yunchuan smiled and said, "Qiao Wanwan was here just now."

"Yes, she was shocked and came to ask me what happened." Bai Zhi tapped the tea bowl with her fingertips. "But she has official business to attend to, so I can only tell her later."

"Bai Zhi." Chu Yunchuan moved the tea bowl away and replaced it with his own finger, tapping Bai Zhi's fingertips from time to time, "What do you want to say? Tell me first."

"She will definitely ask about your identity, so I plan to tell you the truth." Bai Zhi pinched Chu Yunchuan's rebellious fingers and drew circles on them. "Of course, I will hide the old story in the Marquis' Mansion. As for how to make it up, it won't be too late to think about it when the time comes."

"I think you don't have to hide that old story."

Bai Zhi: "...Is there water in my ears? What did you just say?"

"If it weren't for the past events in the Marquis' Mansion, you and I would never have met. Besides," Chu Yunchuan gently twisted Bai Zhi's hands and looked at her with a smile, "When I think about how others see you marrying Gu Yan and being close to him in the Marquis' Mansion, I can't help but want to make this public."

If the people really knew that Gu Yan was Chu Yunchuan in disguise, they might have some doubts about the Marquis's mansion colluding with the enemy. If one thing is linked to another, he won't be able to explain it even if he has ten mouths. Bai Zhi was afraid that Chu Yunchuan would leak this matter out, so she said with a stern face: "Don't say it. Besides, there is no other person. I haven't told anyone that I have been to the Marquis's mansion. I know that I have nothing to do with the Marquis's mansion. Why are you rushing to smear shit soup on yourself?"

Chu Yunchuan lowered his eyelashes and looked at the wood grain on the table.

When Bai Zhi said that she had never told anyone about her experience in the Marquis' Mansion, he was a little happy, but in a flash he felt that it was a pity that those days were buried like this. It seemed as if he and Bai Zhi were born out of thin air, with no cause but only effect.

There are wolves in front and tigers behind, but he is never satisfied.

"Okay, okay, okay, you want me to promise you, right? How about I promise not to forget our past?" Bai Zhi saw through Chu Yunchuan's thoughts and couldn't stop laughing. She was relieved when she saw Chu Yunchuan's expression relax. She asked, "Among the thirteen states, Qing County is the farthest away from the barbarians. Even the people here hate the barbarians to the core?"

Mentioning the turmoil in the Thirteen States now seems like a lifetime ago. Chu Yunchuan's heart was not moved. He just sighed: "Among the survivors of the Thirteen States, there is no one who does not hate the barbarians. The barbarians are desolate, and the Thirteen States are rich. The barbarians need many things from the Thirteen States of Great Yan. There were many trade routes in the past, but now, even if the Thirteen States are rebuilt and the people are in urgent need of money, it is very difficult to communicate with each other. Few people are willing to sell things to the barbarians. Why do you ask this?"

Bai Zhi whispered to him what Qiao Wanwan said about the resident beating the barbarian to death. Chu Yunchuan frowned and asked, "Did you all run here?"

"What do you mean?"

"Recently, there have been reports from various places that many barbarians have appeared in the territory to do business, but the people are not buying their ideas, so they keep hitting a wall. If they can't sell anything, they naturally can't make any money from the barbarians. Zhiheng is having a headache over this...but he didn't expect the barbarians to come to Qing County, which is so far away."
