After she became a county magistrate, she took the ghost to investigate the case

Chapter 356 Heading to the South

It turned out that Li Siqi had already known that there was a sleeping pill in the tea that Xu Yingying handed to him. After he took the cup of water, he drank it and held it in his mouth without really swallowing it.

The reason why he cooperated with Xu Yingying in this scene was that he wanted to see what Xu Yingying was thinking, what she wanted to do, and where she wanted to go.

Li Siqi also understood that Xu Yingying had her own ideas. She was also a living person. If he kept Xu Yingying by his side, it would really wear out Xu Yingying's good impression of him, and she would even end up hating him.

So after Li Siqi realized Xu Yingying's intention, he chose to cooperate with her without hesitation.

He waved his hand and said to Eunuch Su, "Tell the officials in the court that I am not feeling well and will not attend the court. If there is anything important, you can tell the general and let him handle it. If you are undecided, send a pigeon to me."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Eunuch Su said respectfully.

After doing all this, Li Siqi quietly followed Xu Yingying alone.

Xu Yingying was completely unaware of this.

After leaving the palace, Xu Yingying walked straight to the south. In her memory, the south has always been a place with beautiful mountains and rivers, singing birds and fragrant flowers. She has always wanted to go and see it, and now she finally found the opportunity.

Thinking of this, Xu Yingying became extremely excited.

Unfortunately, not long after Xu Yingying left, she felt a rumbling sound in her stomach.

Xu Yingying looked at the bun shop nearby with great excitement, and subconsciously wanted to go over and eat some buns, but she soon discovered a very serious problem - she was too happy when she came out and didn't bring any money.

Xu Yingying felt that this was not a feasible approach. After much thought, she came up with a good idea to support herself - that was to pretend to be a fortune teller to help herself earn some extra money.

Xu Yingying did it right away. She picked up some waste paper that someone had thrown into the trash can, borrowed a brush from a big brother nearby, and wrote two simple big characters "fortune-telling", and that was the start of her business.

Xu Yingying has been setting up her stall for a while, but unfortunately no one goes to her place. Xu Yingying feels a little disappointed about this.

Li Siqi couldn't sit still anymore when he saw this. He went to the clothing store next door, disguised himself, and then came in front of Xu Yingying.

Li Siqi lowered his voice and asked Xu Yingying, "I heard you can tell fortunes?"

Xu Yingying's eyes lit up when she saw Li Siqi's appearance. She nodded and said, "Yes, I can tell fortunes. What do you want me to tell you?"

Xu Yingying looked at Li Siqi and asked.

Li Siqi thought for a while, then slowly said, "Then you...help me calculate my marriage fate!"

Xu Yingying smiled mysteriously when she heard this, and patted her chest confidently and said, "No problem, leave it to me. This is what I'm best at."

After saying that, she asked Li Siqi to take out his hand so she could see it.

Unfortunately, Xu Yingying looked at it for a long time, and finally shook her head helplessly and said, "I can't figure out your marriage fate. It's strange. This is the first time I've encountered such a situation."

The more Xu Yingying looked at Li Siqi, the more strange he seemed to her, and she began to have deep doubts about her own abilities.

"What's wrong? Is my marriage very uncertain?" Li Siqi said when he saw Xu Yingying's expression was a little bad.

"No, no, no, that's not the case. It's mainly because I'm too inexperienced to see your marriage fate. This isn't necessarily a bad thing. It could also mean that your marriage fate is too good and is a secret. As the saying goes, 'Heaven's secrets cannot be revealed.'"

Xu Yingying said to Li Siqi seriously.

Instead of laughing at Xu Yingying, Li Siqi agreed with her words, "I think what you said does make sense."

After hearing this, Xu Yingying's eyes suddenly lit up. This meant that she had lunch today.

Thinking of this, Xu Yingying coughed lightly and said, "Since you agree with me, please pay me for the fortune-telling."

After hearing this, Li Siqi gave all the money he had to Xu Yingying without hesitation.

When Xu Yingying saw the banknotes full of silver, her eyes widened.

"So much? You really gave it all to me!" Xu Yingying said in disbelief.

Li Siqi's eyes flashed with a hint of pampering when he heard this. "A gentleman's word is as good as his bond. Since I have given it to you, there is no reason to ask for it back. The money is already yours."

Xu Yingying smiled happily when she heard the voice. She really didn't expect that she would meet a fool who came to give her money just after she went out today.

Thinking of this, Xu Yingying decided to take the money to the restaurant and treat herself.

Coincidentally, at this moment, Li Siqi also hurriedly caught up with Xu Yingying.

"Why are you following me?" Xu Yingying looked at Li Siqi with a vigilant look.

"Uh...um...are you going to have dinner? Can I go with you? I've given you all the money I have." Li Siqi touched his head embarrassedly.

Xu Yingying was slightly stunned when she heard this. After thinking for a while, she felt that she should still invite Li Siqi to dinner. After all, he had given her the money.

"Okay! Then come with me!" Xu Yingying looked at Li Siqi and nodded.

Li Siqi was extremely happy and excited when he saw Xu Yingying agreed.

At the dinner table, Li Siqi asked Xu Yingying indirectly, "Where are you going, girl?"

Xu Yingying had a very good impression of Li Siqi and thought that he was just a simple-minded big fool, so she told Li Siqi directly.

"I'm going to go to the south to have a look. I really want to see the scenery there."

Li Siqi was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then agreed, "Indeed, the south is very beautiful. I want to go there too."

Xu Yingying was slightly stunned when she heard this, and then she said, "How about... we go together?"

Facing Xu Yingying's proposal, Li Siqi naturally had no right to refuse. He nodded and agreed without hesitation, "Of course, I'm a worldly person anyway."

It just so happened that Xu Yingying also liked the foolish and wealthy Li Siqi, so she said, "Okay, then I will take you in as my little brother and keep you by my side."

"Okay, big brother." Li Siqi cooperated very well.

"What's your name? I don't know your name yet. My name is Xu Yingying." After saying this, Xu Yingying looked at Li Siqi curiously.

Li Siqi was slightly stunned after hearing this, then he thought for a while and finally said, "My name is Xiao Hao."

"Xiao Hao, that's a very nice name." Xu Yingying couldn't help but admire.

Hearing this, Li Siqi looked at Xu Yingying curiously and asked, "Are you going to the south to find something?"

Xu Yingying was slightly stunned when she heard this and finally chose to avoid the topic. Coincidentally, at this moment the waiter of the inn brought up the food.

Xu Yingying quickly changed the subject and said, "Okay, let's eat. Don't let the food get cold."

Seeing this, Li Siqi did not ask any more questions.
