Chapter 111: Tang Xiaoxue Takes to the Kitchen Herself
These past two days, Li Qiuchen had in truth been using his injury as an excuse to slack off.
Everything he knew had already been wrung out of him by multiple groups of people asking the same questions over and over, as though terrified he might have left out some crucial detail.
He did have leads, but they were all subjective speculation with no objective evidence to back them up.
That kind of speculation was not something you could go around sharing freely. The people above were already anxious to find someone to blame. If they acted on your words, went off to investigate, and came back empty-handed, nothing good would be waiting for you.
He had gone out for a walk and was just arriving home, about to step inside, when he spotted Tang Xiaoxue lurking furtively in a corner of the courtyard with a food basket in hand.
This is your home. What exactly are you hiding for?
Li Qiuchen walked over and asked quietly, "Young miss, were you looking for me?"
Tang Xiaoxue gave a nod, then seemed to have whatever she wanted to say go straight out of her head the moment it reached her lips. She stood there frozen on the spot.
Li Qiuchen was long past being surprised by this kind of thing.
