Chapter 101: The Squire's Mansion is on fire
Qing'er followed Lu Yunxi's gaze, but saw a black shadow flashing.
Seeing this, her body tensed, and she involuntarily raised her hand, and a low cry came out of her throat.
Lu Yunxi's eyes were quick, he turned around suddenly, covered Qing'er's mouth, shook his head hurriedly, and said in a deep voice, "Don't speak." ”
Seeing this, Qing'er nodded.
Lu Yunxi slowly let go of the hand covering Qing'er's lips, turned her head again, and looked in the direction where the black shadow left.
"Miss, who is this? It can't be a thief, right?" Qing'er gently grabbed the corner of Lu Yunxi's clothes with one hand, leaned over, stared at the darkness over there, and said softly.
Lu Yunxi shook her head slightly, pursed her lower lip, frowned, and thought for a long time before she turned her head and said to Qing'er, "I'm afraid this person is not good." I slipped into the house so late, and I didn't know what to do. ”
"Then the slave and maid will go and inform the guards and servants at the second gate. With that, Qing'er turned around to leave.
Seeing this, Lu Yunxi grabbed Qing'er's wrist.
Qing'er looked away in confusion, looked at Lu Yunxi's eyes, and said in a low voice, "Miss, what's wrong?"
"This man in black looks very familiar with the layout of our house, I'm afraid it's not as simple as stealing things. It seems that he is familiar with the road in Fuzhong. Lu Yunxi frowned, glanced into the darkness over there, and said in a deep voice.
Qing'er's back stiffened, and she only felt a cold sweat dripping down her spine.
She looked at Lu Yunxi slowly, her throat moved slightly, she couldn't help but raise her hand, pointed in the direction where the man in black had left, shook her throat in fear, and said in a low voice, "Miss, do you mean that this man in black was summoned by someone from our house?"
Lu Yunxi didn't answer, just nodded lightly.
"That'...... So what are we going to do? Do you want to tell your lord?"
Lu Yunxi still didn't answer, but this time she shook her head.
If Lu Ziyou wants someone to come to the mansion in the middle of the night to talk about things, he can find a way to bring it in, where is there a need to be so sneaky?
In this way, it is most likely to be someone under Song Lan.
She is a deep woman, how can she have such a strong martial arts subordinate?
The man just flashed by, his light skills were extremely high, and he was definitely not an ordinary little thief.
Thinking about it, Lu Yunxi turned her head, glanced at Qing'er, and said in a deep voice, "Qing'er, come here with your ears." ”
After listening to Lu Yunxi's words, Qing'er immediately nodded, turned around and walked towards the firewood room in the backyard.
Lu Yunxi returned to the courtyard alone, sat in the darkness of the house, and waited for Qing'er to make a fuss.
Sure enough, in less than a while, I saw that there was a fire near the firewood house, and the little girls and girls outside the house were all panicking, running back and forth in the courtyard, and at the same time shouted loudly, "Oh no, it's water!
Lu Yunxi took a deep breath, opened the door, and walked out.
Qing'er ran in from outside the courtyard out of breath, pushed aside the panicked crowd, rushed to Lu Yunxi's side, frowned, nodded, and said in a deep voice, "Miss, according to your orders, no one will find me." ”
Lu Yunxi's expression was solemn, and he agreed, "Let's go find my father." ”
"Yes. ”
Qing'er agreed, and helped Lu Yunxi to go out of the courtyard.
Lu Ziyou had also arrived outside the firewood room, and seeing that the fire was extinguished, his heart was a little more stable.
"Father. ”
Lu Yunxi stepped forward quickly, bowed slightly to Lu Ziyou, looked around again, and really didn't see Song Lan.
Lu Ziyou only turned his head sideways, glanced at Lu Yunxi, nodded casually, then looked at the fire in front of him again, pointed in the direction over there, and said in a deep voice, "Let's take a look around, there is anything that has not been extinguished." Don't leave anything to chance. ”
The servants agreed, then turned around and continued to be busy in the fire.
Lu Yunxi stepped forward quickly, stood beside Lu Ziyou, and said softly, "Father, are you okay?"
"It's fine. Lu Ziyou shook his head slightly, "I'm afraid that this fire is only because the weather is dry, and there is nothing wrong with your yard, right?"
Lu Yunxi pursed the corners of her lips, shook her head slightly, glanced around, then retracted her gaze, looked at Lu Ziyou, moved her throat lightly, drooped the corners of her eyebrows, and asked in a low voice, "Why don't you see the eldest lady? This fire is so severe, the eldest lady shouldn't have heard it, right?"
Hearing this, Lu Ziyou's eyes suddenly tightened, the hand in front of him shook up and down twice, and said in a deep voice, "It's not good." ”
With that, he turned around and rushed towards the courtyard over there.
Seeing this, Lu Yunxi also quickly followed.
All the little girls and girls in the mansion were mobilized, the courtyard was in chaos, and there were people everywhere, such movements, don't say that Song Lan is the eldest lady in this mansion, even an insignificant person will come out to check one or two.
It seems that this Song Lan has more important things to deal with than now, so he didn't come.
The more Lu Yunxi thought about it, the more she felt that the man in black was likely to be related to Song Lan, not only that, but she always felt that the appearance of this man in black in the mansion today might have something to do with the five poisons on Boss Mi!
She and Lu Ziyou each had different thoughts, and they had just walked into Song Lan's courtyard, and they saw that Song Lan was also nervously coming outside the courtyard.
"Lord...... Sovereign ......"
Song Lan saw Lu Ziyou at a glance and looked panicked.
She put her hands at her side, tugged at the corners of her clothes twice, pursed the corners of her lips, and took several deep breaths before adjusting her emotions properly.
She stepped forward quickly, squeezed out a smile at Lu Ziyou, and said softly, "Lord, the fire outside is under control, right? ”
Lu Ziyou glanced Song Lan up and down.
But seeing that Song Lan was dressed properly, and even the makeup on her face hadn't been removed, I didn't know if she hadn't rested, or if she was just trying to get it right, so she only came out now.
No matter what the situation is, Lu Ziyou is unhappy.
If this Song Lan has not stopped, it is a negligent duty, there is such a fire in the courtyard, but she is not in a hurry, she is simply not worthy of being the eldest lady in this mansion.
If Song Lan had already stopped, and the fire outside was so severe, even Lu Ziyou wouldn't care about getting dressed, but she was good enough to take care of it before she came out to check.
The more Lu Ziyou thought about it, the more angry he felt in his heart, and his face was naturally a little ugly.
He put one hand in front of him, the corners of his eyebrows twitched slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "It's all burned like this outside, you are idle, and you still have time to dress up." ”
When Song Lan heard this, her heart was also tight, and she couldn't help lowering her head and looking at herself.
She squeezed out a slightly embarrassed smile, and also thought of the things that Lu Ziyou was thinking about.
