Chapter 187 Clear the city to search for someone

　　Shu Yue mind had an ulterior motive that she couldn't tell people. Hence, when Ji Danqing and Zhang Zirong arrived, she quietly moved to their side.

　　At this moment, many people had come to the city gate. Everyone had a puzzled look. It seemed that they also didn't know what had happened.

　　Naturally, no one came forward to explain. Gu Xiran, Ji Danqing and the others looked very nervous. Their eyes swept over everyone who went out of the city. From time to time, they would shake their head disappointingly.

　　The atmosphere on the scene seemed to have frozen. Even if some people were discussing in low voices, but those repressed voices only made the atmosphere heavier.

　　Under such circ.u.mstances, it happened that someone still used an innocent and sweet-sounding voice to ask, "Young master Zhang, do you still remember me?"

　　At this moment, Zhang Zirong was also paying attention to those who have come out of the city and wanted to find some familiar faces. It didn't matter if it was his family or the servants from his household. It was fine as long as he could inquire about the situation at home. He didn't regain his senses yet when he was being called and only turned his head reflexively. In the end, he saw a lucid and elegant face.

　　He was an old hand who often stayed at romantic places. With just one glance, he knew that this was a girl disguised as a man. Also, he knew very well what the hope in those eyes meant. If it was in the past when he had the money, was bored and in a good mood, he wouldn't mind to banter flirtatiously and play amorously with such girls. However, it happened that worry burned now in his heart, how would he have the mood? He didn't even want to talk. He felt that this girl was very unfamiliar as if he had never seen her before. He turned away his eyes and continued to look at the city gate.

　　This wasn't the first time that Shu Yue had been completely ignored. She still couldn't get used to this feeling of disappointment. After she bit her lips for a while, she didn't give up and said, "We had met each other before. Weren't you looking for brother-in-law at that time?"

　　She put Gu Xiran out.

　　This trick usually worked well. Everyone knew that the prefectural magistrate was very dependent on him, making no one dared to offend anyone who had a relations.h.i.+p with him. Every time, after Shu Yue had been rejected when she wanted something or wanted to do something, as long as she put out his name to suppress people and say one word "brother-in-law", she would often get her wish fulfilled.

　　Of course, she was also not stupid. When she used this trick to satisfy her unreasonable demands, she would pick a time when Gu Xiran and the people around him weren't around and did it secretly. Sometimes, she didn't even have to say it. Others knew her ident.i.ty. They thought that since she was Gu Xiran's relative, their relations.h.i.+p must be close and that they couldn't offend her. After weighting the pros and cons, they would be in all agreement with her like that bailiff who dragged Shu Huan to the dungeon. He may not have truly believed her full-of-loopholes story, but it was because he didn't dare to offend her and was afraid that she would talk bad things about him in front of Gu Xiran.
