Why don’t you ask someone for inquiries?” the old man asked her heartbrokenly.

Qiao Qiao pursed her lips: "I don't know anyone here, and I don't know who to ask."

The old man smiled that she didn't know how to adapt, and looked around with a smile: "There are so many people coming and going every day. Just say your friend's name and appearance, and ask more people, maybe someone will know?"

Qiao Qiao wanted to speak but stopped. It was not that she didn't want to ask, but she didn't dare to ask, because when she was in Dali, she sneaked into Prince Mu's mansion and let the peacock who was secretly released to the royal family, annoyed Prince Mu and became the wanted criminal in the royal family.

With this passage of Liangzi, she had to be careful. Li Feng had taken care of her when she left Dali. She should not inquire about the news about Prince Mu's mansion when she went outside, and it would be better not to mention the name of Prince Wang to others, otherwise she would be found by the spies. The consequences would be either captured by the Prince Wang or fall into the hands of other unknown forces, and use this to plot against the Prince Wang's mansion.

She didn't know how to explain the twists and turns, and bit her lip in entanglement: "Grandpa, you don't understand. I'm a little difficult. It's not easy to ask him..."

The old man was both puzzled and couldn't let go of his warm heart: "Then what should you do? Why don't you talk to your grandpa, and your grandpa will help you find out?"

Qiao Qiao shook her head: "No, grandparents are already very hard to work hard every day, so I'd better find a way myself."

The old man wanted to persuade her, but the restaurant manager called him loudly at the counter: "Uncle Li! Come and get your goods!"

The old man was interrupted and had to turn around and respond: "Oh, okay, come!"

He was about to get up, Qiao Qiao held his wrist and said, "Grandpa, sit down, I'll go get it."

The old man was very happy: "Okay."

On the other hand, Ji Ying and his friends walked down from the upstairs hall. The friend had finished eating and Ji Ying was sending him out. The two of them passed by the lobby while chatting and laughing.

After giving it to the person, Ji Ying returned to the elegant hall he had bought again, and Yu Shao was waiting for him in the room.

Ji Ying said apologized: "I met that friend again after a long separation and chatted a few more words, so Yu Shao had been waiting for a long time."

"It's okay." Yu Shao stood up with the flow, his eyes staggered at Ji Ying, "Brother Zhu, where is the jade Qilin on your waist?"

Ji Ying lowered her head and realized that the jade pendant was missing. Her eyes became urgent. It was a royal family and could not be discarded easily.

He didn't know that when he sent his friend through the lobby, the two had a great time chatting and pushed each other a few times. The Qilin Jade Pendant fell down at that time, but he was just talking and laughing, and never noticed it.

At this time, in front of the counter, Qiao Qiao took the purse and counted it while putting the silver into the purse. The manager smiled and said, "I have figured it out, right?"

"Well, that's all that!" Qiao Qiao was so excited. Suddenly he thought that Bao Mo had taught her to thank her for being a basic polite person, so he smiled brightly, "Thank you, uncle!"

The manager was also a generous person, so he kindly reminded her: "Haha, no thanks, you should go back with Mr. Li earlier, remember to keep the money."

"Um!"

Qiao Qiao turned around with a smile on her face, holding the purse, and just took a kick and kicked something. She glanced at her eyes and saw an exquisite object. She couldn't help but be curious. She stepped forward and picked up the string of tassels on her fingertips. A kirin carved with white jade hung on the web.

The jade ornament was so exquisite that she was intoxicated by her eyes when she suddenly reached out with a big hand and clamped the wrist where she was holding the jade pendant.

"Okay, you unclean girl, dare to steal the master's things?"

Qiao Qiao looked up in shock and ran into Ji Ying's black face, which was pretending to be fierce with anger.

She tried hard to break free: "Don't just blame others, this is clearly what I picked up!"

"Picked up?" Ji Ying curled her lips mockingly, increasing her strength, "How can you pick it up?"

Qiao Qiao was confident: "How was it that I picked it up? And you said it was yours, why should I believe you? How could you prove it?"

"Wow, it's such a sharp-tongued person. It seems that I must teach you how to be a good person." As he said that, Ji Ying glanced at the purse in her other hand, "What's this?"

Qiao Qiao instinctively held his wallet tightly, hid it in his arms, and stared at Ji Ying alertly.

"Oh, it's stuffed, there must be a lot of money in it, right?" Ji Ying was sarcastic, "I guess you stolen the money, right?"

Qiao Qiao was embarrassed and angry and said, "You are talking nonsense! This is given by the uncle in charge of the restaurant. If you don't believe it, he can testify!"

The guests in the restaurant were disturbed by their disputes and couldn't help but stop drinking and eating, standing or sitting, and watching the situation.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the restaurant manager hurried forward to be a peacemaker and bowed to Ji Ying: "Yes, Mr. Zhu, this little girl is here to deliver goods to our restaurant. The money is the reward for her. You have misunderstood."

Ji Ying glanced at Qiao Qiaoqiao suspiciously: "Can such a young girl come to deliver goods?"

"Why can't it be!" Qiao Qiao retorted, "Don't look at me as young as you may not be able to beat me!"

As he said that, he kicked and Ji Ying took a step back and avoided it. But when he saw Qiao Qiao's martial arts foundation, he nodded in confidence and nodded: "Oh, what a big tone. I won't talk about this money for now, but just for your ability, I must believe that you stole the jade pendant!"

"I don't have it! Why are you unreasonable?"

The quarrel between the two became more and more intense. Yu Shao hurried down the stairs and squeezed into the crowd, asking with concern: "What happened?"

Ji Ying turned around and asked him for comment: "Yu Shao, this girl stole my jade pendant."

Yu Shao walked forward, looked closely, and was stunned for a moment: "Miss Qiaoqiao?"

Qiao Qiao was also stunned, and Ji Ying glanced at them strangely: "What? Do you still know her?"

Seeing Qiao Qiao holding a white jade unicorn in her hand, I remembered that she had just seen her stealing the merchant's jade pendant not long ago. With the lessons of the previous car, Yu Shao made a preconceived idea and agreed to the truth, frowned, and blamed her with a grudge: "Miss Qiao Qiao Qiao, that day I will advise you to not steal money and property again, why are you just unwilling to listen?"

Qiao Qiao was about to explain, but Ji Ying understood and laughed at her first: "Ha, so you are still a habitual thief? How can you deny it now!"

Qiao Qiao was just angry, but when Yu Shao came, she questioned her without saying anything. She was a little sad: "Last time you saw me stealing it with my own eyes, and I didn't refuse to admit it, but this time you didn't see anything. Just because of the last time, I decided that I stole it. Even if I said I picked it up, you wouldn't believe it, right?"

She asked Yu Shao speechlessly, her thoughts were unconsciously shaken, and her eyes suddenly became soft, revealing unbearable and pity.
