Love You

Lian Niang looked at Xiao Juan carefully and quickly looked away. Then, she looked at Grandma Liu, who was busy.

She made a fist and braced herself.

"Ask away."

She would do anything to keep her grandmother safe.

Yu Niaoniao pointed to the nearby street entrance and asked.

"Do many people pass through there every day?"

Lian Niang shook her head. "Not many. The only people who can pass that way are practically all the guys and helpers at a nearby liquor store."

Yu Niaoniaosaid, "Other than the clerk and the helper, was there anyone else?"

Lian Niang recalled carefully. "A few young gentlemen dressed as scholars would pass by there occasionally."

Yu Niaoniao perked up and immediately pressed on.

"Do you remember what they looked like?"

Lian Niang rubbed the corner of her clothes and said uneasily.

"I only caught a glimpse of them. From a distance, I couldn't really see their faces, but from the way they were dressed, I'd say they came from a wealthy family."

Yu Niaoniao was disappointed.

At this moment, Xiao Juan spoke.

"Any distinguishing marks on them?"

Lian Niang didn't dare meet his gaze. She lowered her head and mumbled.

"They all look pretty young. As for the rest, I don't know."

At this moment, Grandma Liu walked over with a plate of pickled radishes.

Lian Niang quickly held her. "Grandma, slow down."

Grandma Liu placed the pickled radish on the table.

When she was done, she did not leave but asked.

"Why are you asking about these things?"

"We went to that restaurant for a meal previously and accidentally left our money bag there. We want to check who has been in and out of that restaurant recently. If we're lucky, we might be able to find the money bag."

Grandma Liu did not suspect anything and said.

"I see!"

You can ask me about this. Although I can't see with my eyes, my ears are very sharp.

"I heard the voices of those scholars as they passed the street door."

Yu Niaoniao immediately perked up and sat up straight.

They both stared at Granny Liu.

Grandma Liu spoke as she recalled.

"I remember they were discussing a fan. They said that the fan had Master Shangguan's inscription and signature on it. It was especially rare. It was priceless outside. You couldn't buy it even if you wanted to."

Yu Qianqian asked, "Do you remember the specific inscription?"

Grandma Liu waved her hand. "How can I remember? I haven't read any books. I don't even understand those poems. How can I remember?"

Yu Niaoniao thanked Grandma Liu.

She turned to the man beside her and whispered a question.

"Do you know any calligraphers with the surname Shangguan?"

Shangguan was a rare surname, let alone a famous calligrapher.

A name immediately appeared in Xiao Juan's mind.

"Shangguan Jue."

Yu Niaoniao looked confused. She had never heard of this person.

Meng Xizhou took the initiative to explain, "Shangguan Jue is a very famous calligrapher in the Imperial Capital recently. It's said that his calligraphy is hard to come by and is very popular. Many young students are proud to get his calligraphy."

Yu Qianqian was very curious. "Is his calligraphy really that good?"

Meng Xizhou said, "I remember that Duke Lang has Shangguan Jue's calligraphy in his mansion. If you're interested, you can go to Lang Jun Imperial Palace to admire it."

Yu Wenxian looked at Xiao Juan with anticipation.

Xiao Qing rejected coldly, "I'm very busy and don't have time to receive you."

Yu grabbed his sleeve and shook him gently. Her voice was so soft it could almost melt someone.

"Please, will you?"

"Don't wheedle. This trick is useless against me."

Yu Qianqian placed her hands on her chest and squeezed two small hearts.

"Love you."

Xiao Juan was speechless.
