Qi Jun was waiting at Su Liang's house. When he saw her and Ning Jing coming back, he hurried to find Xing Yusheng next door.

Xing Yusheng had taken Qin Yujin and Lin Xueqing to visit the house he planned to live in after getting married. It was much smaller than Su Liang's, but it had everything, with many pine trees planted, and it was quite elegant.

"Xueqing, do you like it?" Qin Yujin asked with a smile.

Lin Xueqing nodded subconsciously, and her face blushed when she realized it. Seeing Qi Jun appear not far away, she hurriedly said, "Sister Su and Senior Brother Ning are back, let's go over there!"

Lin Xueqing ran away, and Qin Yujin gave Xing Yusheng a thumbs up, saying that this house was a plus.

...

The fish was still alive when they brought it back, and Ning Jing was responsible for cleaning it.

When Lin Xueqing and the others came over, Su Liang had already stewed the fish.

"Smells so good!" Lin Xueqing hugged Su Liang habitually, "Sister Su, tell me the truth, did Senior Brother Ning pick you up?"

Su Liang shook his head, "He didn't pick me up."

Lin Xueqing was stunned for a moment, "Is there anyone else?"

Su Liang pointed at the fish in the pot, "This."

Lin Xueqing held her forehead, "It's obviously Senior Brother Ning who is worried about you! Why don't you two admit it?"

Su Liang smiled, "Really? Then you have to ask him about this."

Lin Xueqing turned around and saw Ning Jing standing at the door, so she asked him, "Senior Brother Ning, are you thinking about Sister Su, so you went to find her?"

Ning Jing nodded, "Yeah."

Lin Xueqing's eyes lit up, "Senior Brother Ning, you admit that you like Sister Su!"

Su Liang coughed lightly, "He admits that he likes me, and he likes me like a brother."

Lin Xueqing:... Why are you not shy at all? What's the matter with being so open and frank?

At dusk, Su Liang entertained guests at her home in Beijing for the first time.

The dishes were rich, but only the fish was made by her.

Lin Xueqing was looking forward to it and was about to try it when Ning Jing moved the fish in the middle to him.

Su Liang was speechless, "Don't be so stingy."

"They all said they were not outsiders." Ning Jing looked indifferent.

Lin Xueqing smiled secretly, "I know! Senior Brother Ning doesn't want us to eat the dishes made by Sister Su!"

Su Liang said faintly, "Then can I eat it?"

Ning Jing shook his head, "No."

Qin Yujin couldn't help laughing, "I didn't expect that Mr. Ning and Sister Liang get along like this." She thought it was so cute!

Ning Jing only ate the fish.

Xing Yusheng asked Su Liang who he met in the restaurant.

"A person who knew me before, Xiao Muyun from the Prime Minister's Mansion, do you know him?" Su Liang asked.

Xing Yusheng and Lin Xueqing shook their heads together. They had only been in Beijing for a short time.

Qin Yujin nodded, "I know, he is the second son of the Xiao family, the brother of the late second prince's wife. He didn't embarrass sister Liang, right?"

"No." Su Liang shook his head, "What else do you know about him?"

Qin Yujin said that she only knew about Xiao Muyun that he was quite talented, but he had never taken the imperial examination. He had a wife who died of dystocia and left a daughter.

The sky gradually darkened, and Xing Yusheng and the other two said goodbye and left.

Su Liang looked back and saw Ning Jing standing there quietly, so he asked him, "Why did you eat the fish alone?"

Ning Jing was aloof, but not impolite.

Although Xing Yusheng and the others did not mind, Su Liang felt strange.

"I accidentally broke the bitter gall of the fish." Ning Jing said.

The fish gall must taste bitter if it is broken. Su Liang is a good cook, but he rarely tastes the food during cooking, so he did not notice it.

Su Liang held his forehead, "Just say it directly, why eat a bitter fish? I wouldn't have done it if you had said it earlier."

"I want to try it. The taste is very special." Ning Jing said.

"Saving is a good habit, don't do it next time. It's not good for your health." Su Liang said seriously.

When Su Liang went into the kitchen again, he tasted a little of the fish soup left in the pot, and his face wrinkled with bitterness.

For Ning Jing's behavior of eating a bitter fish without changing his expression, Su Liang had only one comment, "He is really a god."

That night, Su Liang was still thinking about the fifth prince, thinking about when to go to him.

Chang'an appeared and said that Duanmu Chen invited Su Liang to come over and had something to discuss.

Seeing that there was no light in Ning Jing's room, Su Liang thought he was asleep, so he didn't call him and left with Chang'an.

...

Duanmu Chen was eating supper with a book in his hand.

"Sit down." He was much calmer tonight than usual.

Changan served tea, and after leaving, Duanmu Chen put down his book and chopsticks and looked at Su Liang, "I didn't expect that you and my cousin had a relationship before."

Su Liang frowned, "You are monitoring me?"

Duanmu Chen shook his head, "It's protection. Duanmu Ao will never let you go."

"I have lost my memory." Su Liang said, "You should know Xiao Muyun better than me. I didn't expect that you knew nothing about him and 'me'."

Duanmu Chen snorted, "I'm not familiar with him. He is a very mediocre person and very content."

The two words just matched Su Liang's impression of Xiao Muyun.

Mediocrity is incompetence.

Contentment, from another perspective, is greed for comfort and lack of courage to do anything risky.

"No matter what happened in the past, I know you can't look down on him now. If he pesters you again, you can handle it yourself. It's not convenient for me to come forward." Duanmu Chen said, "I guess you already know that the funeral of your family was handled by my fifth brother."

Su Liang nodded. She just found out about this today and plans to visit the Su family cemetery tomorrow.

"Duanmu Che's mother-in-law was once the most beloved woman of my father. She passed away due to illness many years ago." Duanmu Chen said, "Nian Ruxue's eyebrows are somewhat similar to that woman."

Su Liang once heard Duanmu Chen mention that Nian Ruxue was attracted by the emperor and was originally going to enter the harem. It turns out there is a reason for this.

"Although the fifth emperor's brother is frail, sickly and withdrawn, he has a very special status in his father's heart. This is also the reason why Duanmu Ao did not dare to do anything to him when he was able to do those things for the Su family." Duanmu Chen said.

Su Liang nodded, "I understand. Regarding the cause of death of the second prince's concubine, did the fourth prince find any clues?"

Duanmu Chen shook his head, "With the death of your family and your amnesia, that matter can no longer be traced. If your memory recovers, it may be much simpler. I suspect that Duanmu Che knows something, but I have no dealings with him. , and it’s inconvenient to go to him and ask.”

Su Liang understood, "Shall I ask?"

Duanmu Chen nodded, "It's best for you to go. Maybe it was Duanmu Che who arranged for you to leave Beijing and go to Bei'an County. You can get close to him in the name of treating him."

"Okay, I'll give it a try." This was what Su Liang had originally planned.

"Since we are cooperating, if you have any news, be sure to inform me in time. If I find anything here, I will also tell you." After finishing his words, Duanmu Chen picked up the book again, "That's all, you can go back."

Su Liang stood up and was about to leave when he turned around and asked, "Can the Fourth Prince remove the spy who is spying on me?"

Duanmu Chen hummed, "What do you want to do behind my back?"

"In this case, if I find someone sneaking around, I will be unhappy and get killed, so don't blame me." Su Liang looked calm.

Duanmu Chen frowned, Su Liang had left.

"Master, ask Miss Su to find the fifth prince. If she skips the master and joins forces with the fifth prince directly..." Chang An expressed his worries.

Duanmu Chen's eyes were deep, "Do you think Duanmu Che has a bodhisattva heart? He has always been too mysterious, so I just asked Su Liang to help me explore his true identity."

Chang'an's expression changed, "Could it be that the master's real purpose in finding Miss Su is..."

Duanmu Chen narrowed his eyes and looked at the book in his hand, "Duanmu Ao is just a waste. I always feel that Duanmu Che will become a threat to me sooner or later. My father protected him very well, and it may not be true or false. Only the orphan of the Su family , to get close to him.”
