“I want this one. ” Yue Jiaojiao picked out a light apricot colored veil with a few green vines hooked on the corners. She first put it on her hand to see if it looked good on her. “Zhao Zhan, you have good taste. I really like this piece.”

As she spoke, she sprawled on her stomach and stretched her neck with great effort to tilt her head to look at Zhao Zhan. “Zhao Zhan, do you think it looks good?”

Zhao Zhan turned his head and looked at her as if he was possessed, and then his eyes could no longer move away.

Shewas covered with a veil, only revealing a pair of glassy eyes.

This pair of eyes was as clear as crystal, but it also seemed to contain a thousand words.

She still wasn’t very familiar with tying her hair up. Today, because she was going out, she used a long scarf and imitated the other woman to tie her long hair behind her head.

A strand of hair disobediently drooped down and brushed against Zhao Zhan’s cheek.

His wheat-colored skin blushed and he quickly turned his head away.

Why did she look even more beautiful with the veil on?

Just by looking at her eyes, one couldn’t help but want to explore more deeply as to what kind of beautiful appearance was hidden under the veil.

He couldn’t help but feel a quaking feeling in his chest. He wanted her to be trapped by him.

“Are we leaving or not? Or are you going to keep staring into space in the yard behind my back?”

Zhao Zhan shook his head hard to get rid of the bunch of inappropriate thoughts in his mind, then carried Yue Jiaojiao out of the door.

The authority of Wangshan Town mayor was slightly lower than that of the county Magistrate in the Huai County Office. However, he was ordered by the county Magistrate to assist in handling some simple cases in the town. If there were really complicated cases, he would report them to the county office to handle.

Because of this, there was a separate house in the town that was assigned to the chief to handle the town affairs.

The bailiff guarding the door saw the two of them and asked sternly, “What’s the matter? If there’s nothing else, leave!”

“Constable, I came to report a case to the chief last night. The chief knows about it. Please go in and inform him.”

As Zhao Zhan spoke, he stuffed a small piece of silver into the other party’s hand. “Thank you.”

The bailiff glanced at the weight of the silver in his hand, and his tone softened a little. “Wait here.”

Yue Jiaojiao patted Zhao Zhan’s shoulder to get him to put her down, and they stood side by side at the door.

The two of them waited at the door for a short while before the bailiff swaggered out from inside. “You can now go in, the chief is calling for you.”

Zhao Zhan held Yue Jiaojiao’s hand as they entered the courtyard.

There was no need to be so formal when meeting the chief.

Zhao Zhan entered the room and bent over to place the box that he had been carrying on his hand on the table. “You have a lot of complicated matters to deal with and you had to deal with our matters. This is a small gift as an apology for last night’s disturbance.”

Xu Li had a mustache and squinted his eyes as he examined the packaging of the box.

It was the seal of a famous pastry shop in town.

He was satisfied and slowly put down the teacup. “Last night, you came to report that there was a theft in your house and that the things you lost were things like tofu that have been circulating in the town recently. This tofu has been popping up everywhere recently. How can you prove that you lost that piece of tofu? ”

“I like to stay at home and research different types of food. I’m curious about tofu, so I bought it home to study it. I’m ashamed to say that when I was studying the tofu, I accidentally dropped a few drops of vegetable juice on it.”
