Beloved at the Door - Chapter 16.5

Di Jing gave orders to the cell boss on the side. “Get down.”

The head of the cell hurriedly backed out, Di Jing’s gaze fell on Shangguan Yan, staring straight at her face, she did not avoid it, and stared at him.

It stands to reason that her rank is lower than him. She should salute him instead of sitting still, but she is still sitting, even looking at him with a smile, waiting to see what the man wants to do.

Di Jing looked at her, her expression calm and unhurried, she didn’t look like she was depressed when she was in jail, and she could not find any worry or fear at all.

“When you are in jail, you don’t seem to worry about your safety at all?” He said solemnly.

“No, I’m very worried. I just pretend to be calm on the surface.” She frowned deliberately. Isn’t this person just trying to see how worried she is? She fulfilled him, but she didn’t have much sincerity.

It’s strange that Di Jing would believe her. At any rate, he spent some time with her. When he was in Qin’s house, he had seen how well this woman can speak in situations, and the fact that he could be as calm as here in prison was very appreciated. .

When others humiliate her, she can accept it, and when others praise her, she can also be indifferent. Whether it is humiliation or praise, she never seems to care, making people unable to understand her.

Di Jing tucked up her robe and sat on the floor in a cool manner, looking at her through the iron railing.

Surprise flashed in Shangguan Yan’s eyes. He didn’t expect him to be like this. He thought he would show her official prestige condescendingly, but what did he mean by doing this? She couldn’t help but feel puzzled.

“Why take that jade flute?” he asked.

She raised her eyebrows and realized that he wanted to go to the cell at night for a private trial!

“The jade flute…” She just opened her mouth and was interrupted by him.

“Don’t be sloppy. With your cleverness, it is impossible to guess that the jade flute is stolen goods. What is your purpose?”

This tone is to solemnly remind her that people do not speak secretly. He withdrew everyone and did not interrogate her in the Xingtang, but wanted to know privately. This meant that no third person would know what they were saying now, and he wanted her. To be honest, this is why he put her in jail.

He wants to listen to the truth.

Shangguan Yan’s thoughts suddenly became clear. Perhaps he had thought of him wrong. He looked solemn at the moment, and there was no cynicism on his face. On the contrary, he was upright, talking about business matters, and seemed to focus on the overall situation. People, since this is the case, she also corrected her attitude and replied sternly.

“The humble post indeed guessed that the jade flute was a stolen item, but I didn’t expect it to be Master Tian’s funeral. I originally planned to stay. Maybe a bigger case can be found. I didn’t tell the truth in the hall. Please forgive me.”

She said that the investigation was just nice, but she actually kept it and waited to see if there was any bounty offered by the big family for the lost property, but of course she wouldn’t be so stupid to say it honestly.

“Your guess is correct, this jade flute is indeed a bait.”

Her eyes brightened, and she continued his words. “The bait for the tomb?”

Di Jing knows that her thinking has always been very flexible, so she might as well let her know more about the case.

“Master Tian’s coffin is empty, there are no corpses in it.”

“Huh? Really?”

“You are an undercover arrest, specializing in secret investigation, why didn’t you detect this?”

Okay, actually making fun of her?

“No matter how good a humble job is, there is no such thing as an adult’s magical calculations, an adult is wise.” She is grinning sincerely.

Di Jing raised his eyebrows, nodded and said, “This is true.”

She hummed inwardly, quickly returned to the topic, thought about it, and said, “Humble job wants to make a bold guess.”

“Are you trying to say that Lord Na Tian may not be dead?”

“The adults think so too?”

He didn’t answer the question. “Speak your guess.”

She didn’t sell it, she said straightforwardly: “There are two possibilities. One is that you are afraid of being killed. It is better to lie to death to avoid misfortune. The other is to be taken away to threaten the Tian family to keep secrets.”

Di Jing looked at her with a meaningful tone. “My official underestimated you, he has two brushes.”

“Adults are absurd. Humble positions are not as good as adults. Otherwise, they won’t sit here anymore. Adults shouldn’t avenge their personal revenge.” At the end of the conversation, I couldn’t help but tease him.

So in her eyes, he is such a villain? Di Jing lowered his face. “Do you think this official sent you to jail for revenge?”

She was startled, listening to his tone, could it be possible that there were other reasons for arresting her in jail? She couldn’t help asking suspiciously: “Is the adult deliberately baited by a humble position?”

He didn’t say a word, but the corners of his lips were slightly hooked, with an unpredictable color.

Shangguan Yan was overjoyed in his heart, this guy is indeed upright, knowing that he has no intention of revenge, once she has nothing to worry about, her brain becomes active and she begins to concentrate on the case.

“The jade flute was accidentally sold by a tomb thief. The master behind the scenes must have made people nervous. Maybe they were afraid that we would find clues on the jade flute. Asked the other person to come to the door, the lord imprisoned me, just to see if anyone was fooled?”

As she thought about it, she speculated about the case, and the seriousness fell into Di Jing’s eyes. He stared at her with a brilliant eye that no one else knew.

Regarding all her files, he read many times without missing a word, and even her background and background were investigated clearly.

“What is the relationship between you and the Ninth Prince?” He suddenly changed the subject.

Shangguan Yan answered casually while thinking. “friend.”

“Just ordinary friends?”

“Yup.”

“Does the Ninth Prince know that you are a daughter?”

“I don’t know.”

“I don’t know, why is he so anxious about you?”

“Who knows.” She said casually, then suddenly returned to her senses and looked at him suspiciously. “Why are you asking about the Ninth Prince? He has something to do with this case?”

Di Jing’s tone was unhappy. “He knows that you are in jail and sends someone to question the officer.”

She snorted and nodded: “This is indeed his style.”

Seeing her so happy, Di Jing felt unhappy in her heart. “The palace deliberately serves as the concubine of the Ninth Prince, at best you can only be his concubine.”

Shangguan Yan waved his hand. “I have no intention of being his concubine.”

Listening to this tone, did she take the Nine Princes to heart? Di Jing’s unhappiness suddenly disappeared.

“Since it’s a bait, how long do I have to stay in this prison?” This is what she cares about most. Although it is a lot easier for her to figure out that Master Di is not public revenge, she is trapped in this prison and says she doesn’t care. It is deceptive.

“It depends.”

He didn’t give a clear answer, but she expected that her life in this jail would not be too difficult.

“Yes, even if you are in jail, you have to look good.” She also understands the truth.

“You have been disguised as a men’s trader, and you have been squandering so far. Don’t the Shangguan family have any opinions?”

“Fortunately, the family did not urge them, so they are not in a hurry.”

Di Jing’s remarks seem to be chatty, but they have a lot of articles. He deliberately discussed the case with her, and after a few sentences, he interjected to ask about a private matter, so that it was not obvious and would not let her hear his intentions.

She is twenty years old and has not married yet. He wants to know the reason. She didn’t say that she had someone in her heart, but because she was not in a hurry to marry, and seeing that she had no intention of the Nine Princes, he let him go quietly. The cold and solemn lines on the heart and face softened unconsciously.

“Master Shangguan doesn’t force you, but he is an enlightened person.”

“Why is my dad not in a hurry? He is not in a hurry now because the person I am begged to has to keep his filial piety for three years.”

Shangguan Yan feels that talking with Di Jing is quite a feeling of meeting an old friend. After all, the two of them had been in the Qin family together two years ago, and now they know that each other is doing errands for the court, and they are fellow men. Di Jing and her night talk again She didn’t put on the airs of the superior, which made her quite fond.

But she didn’t realize that the words she just said made Di Jing’s expression darkened, but the lights flickered in the prison, and it was not easy to notice the change in his face.

“Do you think that releasing the whereabouts of the jade flute can really lead the snake out of the hole? Will it startle the snake?” she asked.

“This is just one of the methods. The other party is anxious before they can make the next move.”

“It makes sense, so do you have other ways?”

He hummed, and then asked, “You are in prison, is your fiance in a hurry?”

“It must be anxious, but it doesn’t hurt.”

“Which family did you order?”

“The Pan family. By the way, does Liu Shan who escaped have any clues?”

Di Jing didn’t answer, but suddenly said, “It’s late at night, and the officials are running out. You can do it yourself.”

Huh?

He suddenly ended the topic, just got up and left without looking back. It ended abruptly, so that Shangguan Yan couldn’t react for a while, but just watched him leave blankly.

She shouldn’t say anything to offend him, right?

Di Jing walked out of the cell, Qiu Dan followed him in silence. The two were speechless. After a while, Di Jing suddenly asked him.
