Chapter 112 The Other Side of Du Rou

It has been a while since the last time she went to the Du Mansion. During this time, Ye Jianqing has been busy dealing with Jiang Wanyin. Although she still hasn't figured out Jiang Wanyin's background, she can still make sure that Lu Ci Qiu gives an explanation so that she can't contact Lu Zhixing.

In addition, after Lu Ci Qiu was injured last time, Ye Jianqing didn't dare to leave his side easily, which resulted in her being unable to visit Du Rou for a long time, and they usually communicated through letters.

It was Du Rou who came out to look for her that day, and they finally met. However, she didn't expect that this meeting would lead to another case. Ye Jianqing also started to get busy, busy looking for various clues about the shrine.

It was Lu Ci Qiu who reminded her that she could come to find Du Rou, and only then did she remember that she had to come and give her an explanation.

"Qing'er, you are finally here." Du Rou saw that Ye Jianqing was as happy as ever, so she pulled her and talked nonstop, then led her inside.

Seeing Du Rou so friendly, and thinking of the question Lu Ci Qiu asked her to ask, Ye Jianqing felt very uncomfortable. She was always sincere to her friends and didn't like to lie or hide anything. Now it seemed like she was approaching Du Rou with ulterior motives, which made her feel very uncomfortable.

Ye Jianqing called out "Rou'er" and couldn't say anything else. Du Rou looked at her with joy, expecting what she would say.

Ye Jianqing knew that Du Rou had always treated her as a close friend and was very good to her since the last incident, so how could she use her to get information?

"Rou'er." Ye Jianqing couldn't bear it anymore and planned to tell her the truth. If Du Rou had any unspeakable secrets, she would not say it. Since she regarded Du Rou as a friend, she would naturally stay by her side and take her feelings into consideration. If there were many things that she couldn't say about the God's House, she didn't plan to force her.

However, as for the matter of taking her along to investigate the case, she didn't want her to be put in danger. If possible, she still wanted to refuse Du Rou from joining her in the investigation.

During the investigation, she had to focus on protecting Lu Ci Qiu, and sometimes she really couldn't take care of Du Rou in time. If Du Rou was hurt as a result, she would never be able to forgive herself.

"Rou'er, I want to ask you, why are you so persistent in investigating the shrine?"

Du Rou paused for a moment, then quickly pretended nothing happened and continued to walk towards her room with Ye Jianqing. However, how could Ye Jianqing, who was arm in arm with her, not notice it?

Du Rou didn't say anything, nor did she force her. She just waited to see how she would answer her. If she didn't want to answer, then she would think of a way to deal with Lu Ci Qiu.

"Qing'er, come and try it. This is a new glutinous rice cake I made. The cook taught me how to make it, and it took me a lot of effort to make it." After arriving at Du Rou's room, Du Rou asked Ye Jianqing to sit down, then picked up the cake on the table and handed it to her.

The white cakes were neatly placed on a green plate, sprinkled with a layer of fried glutinous rice, which made people very appetizing. Ye Jianqing did not doubt it, but thought that since Du Rou had worked hard to make this cake, he must try it, so he reached out and picked up a small piece of cake near him and put it in his mouth.

Just when the pastry was about to enter her mouth, Du Rou reached out and slapped the pastry in her hand to the ground.

Ye Jianqing was frightened by her actions and stood there for a moment, not knowing how to react.

Du Rou stood aside and looked at her coldly with an angry look on her face. Although Ye Jianqing didn't know why she was angry, she was angry now and didn't let herself eat pastries. Ye Jianqing was puzzled and puzzled. Ye Jianqing felt uncomfortable because she couldn't eat the pastries. She felt even more uncomfortable when she saw the freshly baked pastries being fed to the god of land.

"Are you so unguarded? You eat whatever I give you?" Du Rou said angrily.

Ye Jianqing spread his hands innocently: "You are my good friend, how can you harm me?"

Du Rou's face was full of different expressions. Finally, she angrily threw the whole plate of cakes out the door: "What's wrong with being good friends? Can't good friends hurt you?"

"So, do you want to harm me?" Through Du Rou's actions, Ye Jianqing knew that there was something wrong with the plate of cakes, but the key point was Du Rou. Why did she want to harm herself? But she didn't want to harm herself.

Judging from Du Rou's character, Ye Jianqing came to a conclusion: "Du Rou will not harm her."

"Yes, that's right, I want to harm you. I put poison in that plate of cakes. If you eat it, you will have to obey my orders for the rest of your life. If I don't give you the antidote, you can only wait to die." Du Rou was still angry and spoke with anger. Ye Jianqing found it cute and smiled with his hands covering his mouth. When Du Rou found out, he glared at her and quickly restrained himself.

"I believe that our Rou'er will never harm me. So, tell me, what happened?" Ye Jianqing moved his chair next to Du Rou, took her hand into his own and patted it gently to comfort her.

She believed that there must be a reason why Du Rou did this.

"Are you here today to ask me about the matter between me and the God's House?" Du Rou glared at her but did not take her hand back, which meant that she condoned everything Ye Jianqing did to her.

"Yes." Ye Jianqing nodded honestly.

"Are you not going to let me follow you in investigating the case?"

"Yes."

"Do you doubt me?"

"Yes and no." This time, Ye Jianqing did not nod affirmatively, nor did he shake his head affirmatively, but gave a vague answer.

"??? What kind of answer is this?" Du Rou naturally didn't want to accept such a vague answer.

"I do suspect you, but I also believe you. You suddenly came to me that day, and you kept talking about the shrine. You deliberately let me know what the shrine had been doing recently, and even asked to join in the investigation. At that time, I suspected that you had some intentions." Ye Jianqing glanced at her, and sure enough, he saw a hint of surprise in her eyes.

"Your father is the Minister of War. As the daughter of a minister, how could you not know the secrecy of the Dali Temple's investigation? How could you rashly ask to join the investigation? So at that time I suspected that you had other intentions, but because I didn't know much about Shenwu at that time, I didn't think too much about it.

I went to investigate this shrine a little bit these past two days and found that it is very powerful. It has existed for more than 20 years and is closely related to the martial arts world. This shrine has always been active in the martial arts world and rarely appeared in front of ordinary people. But now it suddenly appeared in the capital and used ordinary people to promote itself. This is abnormal and there is something wrong. "

Du Rou looked at Ye Jianqing. She found that there was light in Ye Jianqing's eyes when she talked about these things. It seemed that investigating the case really gave her a strong sense of accomplishment. She herself might not even realize how strong and proud she was when she was describing the process.

These two words are not derogatory but complimentary to her, reflecting Du Rou's recognition and approval of her.

"You are right. I went to you on purpose because of the God House. The God House has existed for a long time and it has problems. So I was not lying to you when I told you that I wanted to get rid of the God House."

"I was right to doubt your relationship with Shenwu. I had been thinking of using some method to trick you into telling me something, but I found that no matter what I thought, it was useless because I couldn't tell any lies in front of you." Ye Jianqing's main point was sincerity. She looked at Du Rou seriously and honestly, and the words she said were all what she thought, without any deception.

Perhaps it was because Ye Jianqing's eyes were too bright. She seemed to be looking at him with stars in her eyes, making him feel that what he had done today was indeed abominable, and his heart was full of guilt.

Faced with a good friend who treated her sincerely, she couldn't do anything and was defeated in the end.

"To be honest, I put something in that plate of cakes. I really treat you as a friend. I also know that the Dali Temple will never let me follow the case. I also know that with your intelligence, you will definitely find out that something is wrong with me very quickly. But investigating the shrine is very important to me.

So when you said you were coming to see me today, I suddenly got possessed and made this plate of cakes with something in them. I thought if you told me the truth, it would be fine, but if you lied to me a little, I would let you eat this plate of cakes and then let you take me to the shrine.

With you in my hands, I'm sure the Eighth Prince won't refuse me to follow him on the case." At this point, Du Rou looked at her sadly: "But you are so sincere, without even a little bit of vigilance, you eat whatever I give you, so I definitely can't let you eat this dish."

After hearing what Du Rou said, Ye Jianqing not only did not become more wary of her, but also did not have the slightest aversion to her. Instead, he moved closer, holding her hand and sticking close to her: "So, my Rou'er still loves me."

Du Rou was confused by Ye Jianqing's behavior. She had prepared to be the bad guy today and to break up with Ye Jianqing, but she didn't expect that Ye Jianqing would not only stay away from her, but also get close to her. This made her a little confused for a moment. On the one hand, she wanted to get close to Ye Jianqing, on the other hand, she pretended to push her with her hand, and said stubbornly: "Who loves you? I don't."

"Why has my Rou'er become so arrogant? I never noticed it before." Ye Jianqing knew that she was just talking. The movement of her hands seemed to be pushing people away, but she didn't use any strength at all. He couldn't help but move closer and started to become more unforgiving in her words.

"I already said no, I'm not anymore."

"Okay, okay, you didn't. You're the best."
