Traveling through the busy farmland of a peasant girl

Chapter 172 Discovery

Shen Li hurried back home from the mountain like a gust of wind, with beads of sweat on her forehead and her hair a little messy.

She was extremely anxious and just wanted to go into the house quickly to deal with the follow-up matters. Just as she stepped into the yard, Nangong Qi happened to return from the side yard.

Nangong Qi was quick-witted and stepped forward. He stretched out his hand and grabbed Shen Li. With a look of anxiety and curiosity on his face, he asked, "What are you doing in such a hurry? I have something to tell you!"

Shen Li was slightly startled by this sudden obstruction. She stopped in her tracks for a moment, her face full of confusion. She looked up at Nangong Qi and asked, "What's the matter? Why are you so anxious?"

Nangong Qi held her hand tightly, his eyes seemed to hide countless secrets. He looked around vigilantly, as if afraid of being eavesdropped by others, and said in a low voice: "Let's talk in your room. There are too many people here and it's not convenient to say too much." After that, without waiting for Shen Li's response, he pulled her straight to her room.

Shen Li was helplessly pulled by him, and kept muttering: "You are so mysterious, I am anxious to seal the talisman, what is it? Come on, tell me, don't keep me in suspense."

After they entered the house, Nangong Qi finally let go of Shen Li's hand, turned around and gently closed the door. Then, with a mysterious look on his face, he approached Shen Li and whispered, "I just saw your servant Liu Ruoxi trying to flirt with Su Ran, but it looked like she was rejected. I even saw her crying so hard that she even smashed her medicine bowl!"

When Shen Li heard this, her eyebrows raised slightly, and she couldn't help but feel suspicious.

Liu Ruoxi was originally suspected of being a spy!

Why would she suddenly seduce a poor stranger?

Shen Li's clever brain instantly lit up like a fuse, turning on Detective Conan mode.

She subconsciously reached out her hand, gently touched her chin, and began to analyze: "Let me ask you, have I ever told you that Liu Ruoxi voluntarily sold herself to our family?"

Nangong Qi looked confused and shook his head, indicating that he didn't know about this.

Shen Li nodded slightly, and then asked: "Did I tell you that she originally planned to use the beauty trap to seduce Lord Bai?"

Nangong Qi still shook his head, his eyes full of confusion, as if he didn't understand why Shen Li suddenly asked this.

Shen Li's eyes lit up, as if she had suddenly found the key clue to solve the case. She clapped her hands and said confidently, "There's only one truth! She must know that Su Ran! Otherwise, why would she act like this? There must be something fishy going on."

Nangong Qi was confused by Shen Li's reasoning. His face was full of bewilderment. He stared at Shen Li blankly, as if waiting for her further explanation.

Shen Li stood there, frowning slightly. Although he had analyzed with keen insight and clear logic that there was some special connection between Liu Ruoxi and Su Ran, that was all he could do.

She smacked her lips helplessly and sighed, "I can't analyze the rest of this! The hidden truth here is probably not that simple. I'll have to find another opportunity to investigate it thoroughly."

Nangong Qi looked at her distressed and serious expression, his heart filled with pity and doting.

He slowly reached out and gently held Shen Li's small hand. The warm touch seemed to give her strength and support. He said in a firm tone: "Ali, you don't need to worry too much, just do your thing with peace of mind.

I will keep a close eye on their every move for you, and if there is any movement, I will inform you immediately."

Shen Li raised her head and looked at Nangong Qi's sincere eyes. A warm current surged in her heart. She nodded slightly and said gratefully: "Thank you for your help, Qi. If you were not by my side, I would be in a lot of trouble."

Nangong Qi raised his lips to smile lightly, his eyes filled with tenderness and expectation, and he added, "Didn't you say you were in a hurry to seal the talisman? Let me help you, I happen to have nothing to do.

I can help you fold the paper so that it can be finished faster. Shen Xuan has already started school, so I can also help you. If these talisman papers can be prepared earlier, you can also feel more at ease. "

After hearing this, Shen Li nodded again with a relieved smile on her face.

It is naturally much better to have someone to help her. It not only improves efficiency, but also allows her to have more energy to think about other things.

So, the two of them began to prepare for the talisman in tacit understanding, and the atmosphere in the house became warm and harmonious.
