Chapter 102
The next day, everyone discussed and prepared to go to Tianxiang Building to investigate what happened to Yu Jiaojiao.
Sang Li thought for a moment and said, "There are too many of us, we can't go to Tianxiang Building together, it would draw too much attention. Let's divide up the work. I'll disguise myself as a man later and go with Gu Zhi to Tianxiang Building to gather some information.
Su Mo, you, Wu Ying and Yu Yifan can go to places that Yu Jiaojiao used to frequent often to look around. Xiao Han, you and Xia Miaomiao just wander the streets to chat up some gossipy aunties, maybe they'll also have clues."
"Alright! Then it's decided!"
After getting ready, they headed out together.
Unexpectedly, today was the wedding day of Bai Yunxin and Li Wenxuan.
Li Wenxuan was leading the wedding procession at the front, but his face didn't show any joy of getting married.
His injury had healed, but he was completely crippled. If not for leaving descendants for the Li family, why would he marry that vicious Bai Yunxin?
The few of them stood at the side of the street, looking at the grand wedding procession. Those who didn't know the truth were still saying something about a match made in heaven.
Wearing his wedding clothes with a big red flower pinned to his chest, Li Wenxuan sat expressionlessly on the horseback. When he saw Su Mo and the others, his gaze landed on Xia Miaomiao.
Li Wenxuan subconsciously stopped.
Seeing Li Wenxuan looking at her, Xia Miaomiao immediately hid behind Su Mo.
Seeing Xia Miaomiao avoiding him, Li Wenxuan let out a bitter laugh and rode away on his horse.
This was retribution he brought upon himself!
"This Bai Yunxin really has some capabilities to actually marry Li Wenxuan!" Su Mo couldn't help but say.
"Don't you think they match very well? After all, neither of them are good people!" Xiao Han also couldn't help but say, "One is vicious, even harming her own elder brother; the other is a playboy, just lacking someone like Bai Yunxin to discipline him!"
The grand procession gradually disappeared from the street. Sang Li saw a familiar figure among the crowds behind.
It seemed Bai Yunhan had also seen them and walked over.
"Young ladies, long time no see." Bai Yunhan greeted them very gentlemanly.
"It has been a while!" Xiao Han looked towards Fang Qing behind Bai Yunhan and nodded in greeting, "Brother Fang, hope you've been well?"
Fang Qing seemed flattered and smiled bashfully, "Very good..."
Bai Yunhan looked at Sang Li, "I've been busy with Bai family matters these days, so I didn't come to see you young ladies. If you need my help with anything, feel free to come to the Bai residence to find me."
Sang Li smiled at him, "Thank you, Master Bai."
Seeing Sang Li smile at Bai Yunhan, Gu Zhi's expression darkened slightly. He stepped forward to hold Sang Li's hand and said, "Wife, weren't we going to investigate Yu Jiaojiao's matter? Let's hurry and go."
Hearing Gu Zhi address Sang Li as wife, Bai Yunhan was visibly stunned, "Miss Sang, you two..."
Sang Li didn't hide it, "We got married, he is now my husband."
Not only was Bai Yunhan surprised, even Fang Qing behind him was very shocked.
"When did this happen? Why...didn't you invite me?" Bai Yunhan's expression was a little disappointed. Even if Sang Li didn't like him, they were still friends right?
"Sorry, Master Bai. He and I got married in the Miao custom, so we couldn't invite you. But if you have time, we can treat you to a meal."
Bai Yunhan lowered his eyes and answered, "No need...I still have things to do, I'll take my leave first."
"Alright..."
Bai Yunhan turned and left dejectedly.
Fang Qing took a look at Xiao Han, then also followed Bai Yunhan and left.
Seeing that Sang Li was still watching Bai Yunhan's retreating figure, Gu Zhi suddenly turned to block her view, a trace of displeasure in his tone.
"Sister, you're still looking at other men in front of me? I'm going to get upset."
Sang Li chuckled lightly and reached out to pinch his cheek, "You're still quite young but your jealousy is quite strong already? Let's go, to Tianxiang Building first."
The few of them split up here, each going about their own business.
Xiao Han and Xia Miaomiao went to the liveliest part of town, walking around stopping at each stall, chatting familiarly with the bosses.
After chatting for a while however, they didn't get much useful information.
They happened to pass by a mask stand.
The boss selling masks enthusiastically called out, "Young ladies, want to buy a mask?"
Xia Miaomiao's gaze drifted over. Seeing the rows of intricate masks hanging there, she curiously pulled Xiao Han over.
"Xiao Han, doesn't this bunny mask look nice?" Xia Miaomiao picked up a bunny mask and put it on her face.
Xiao Han sized her up and laughed, "Yes, very fitting for a little white bunny like you!"
Xia Miaomiao laughed and made bunny ear gestures at Xiao Han, shaking her head, "This mask is so cute, take a photo for me okay?"
Xiao Han helplessly took out Xia Miaomiao's phone and snapped a picture of her posing.
At this time, not far away on a nearby rooftop, a young man in green robes was watching Xiao Han and Xia Miaomiao.
Sitting with arms crossed and a blade of grass in his mouth, he had a nonchalant air about him.
Seeing Xia Miaomiao make cute poses while taking photos, he couldn't help but chuckle, "Little bunny, quite adorable!"
After taking the photo, Xia Miaomiao turned around to take off the mask and said to the boss, "Boss, I'll take this mask!"
"Alright young lady, want to take a look if there's any others you like?" The boss said enthusiastically.
Seeing Xia Miaomiao's well-behaved manner and wanting to buy more, the boss was naturally very happy.
"Thank you boss... " Xia Miaomiao selected a few masks, then asked, "Boss, I want to ask, does the person who painted these masks sell any paintings? I can see he has very refined skills, could I find him to buy a painting?"
"This...young lady, let me ask when I get back, come by again tomorrow okay?"
"Okay, thank you boss!"
Xiao Han leaned in and asked, "Miaomiao, what do you want a painting for?"
"You know I've always liked collecting these kinds of things. Finding someone so skilled at painting here is rare, of course I want to get one to keep!"
Xiao Han didn't say anything more. She knew Xia Miaomiao did like these scholarly pursuits.
As for herself, she didn't have any artistic sense, so she wouldn't understand.
But although the sisters had different interests, they were considerate and respected each other's hobbies. Even when Xiao Han liked dissecting things, they didn't interfere or say unkind things.
This was also why they had become good friends.
Because in the past, Xiao Han had been told before, "Tsk tsk, you're a girl, how can you like such disgusting things?"
Of course Xia Miaomiao had also been told before, "How pretentious! So affected!"
Thinking of these things, Xiao Han suddenly pulled Xia Miaomiao into a one-armed hug. "Buy it! If you like it then buy it! I'm just envious you know so many things. If I was a guy, I'd definitely marry you!"
