Chapter 17, Send You Back
It was already late when she came back last night, and with something on her mind, Luo Qi had just fallen asleep almost after dawn.
She slept for a short time, and had nightmares, which made her spirit even worse.
I always feel dizzy.
Luo Qi followed the maid who led the way to the place in a daze, and after finding that Lin Muchuan was still sitting at the dinner table, he suddenly sobered up a little.
Sunlight seeped in through the window and shone in the room, and Lin Muchuan was sitting extremely upright in the center.
Now Luo Qi really understands why all the famous ladies claim to be ashamed of themselves and lose their glory.
She hurriedly saluted the national teacher, said hello, and sat down on the wooden bench.
also deliberately chose a location far away from Lin Muchuan.
Having breakfast with him, Luo Qi was really worried that he wouldn't be able to eat.
After all, this national teacher has a cold ice effect all over his body.
Holding his chin on his arm, he rubbed his temples a little tiredly, and then picked up the chopsticks that the maid had just put up.
"You didn't sleep well?" Lin Muchuan said suddenly.
was said all of a sudden, Luo Qi looked at Lin Muchuan with some weakness, for fear that the other party would find out what he was doing, and thus associate something.
After seeing the other party's expression, she silently breathed a sigh of relief, smiled at the other party, and quipped:
"What, is the National Teacher concerned about me?"
When Lin Muchuan heard this, he glanced at her, did not answer, and said to himself:
"It seems that there was a thief in the house last night, so you should be fine there. ”
Luo Qi swallowed his saliva and said casually: "I slept early with Xiaoman last night, didn't hear any movement, did you lose anything valuable?"
Lin Muchuan ate a few bites of food, put the chopsticks on the table, turned his head, and said to her:
"Strange to say, the thief seemed to be a little stupid, and ran directly to my study, and made a noise, I thought it was a wild cat and made a noise, and the thief was scared away. ”
Stupid??
Luo Qi's excited teeth itched, and he couldn't wait to directly press Lin Muchuan to the ground and rub it.
But after all, she can't be exposed, and now she can only pretend to hear a joke and laugh it off.
"Really, didn't you send someone to arrest you?" Luo Qi asked deliberately.
"That thief's brain shouldn't be very bright, it's okay to catch it or not, and there is nothing important in the house anyway. Lin Muchuan said indifferently.
Hearing Lin Muchuan say that the thief's brain was not bright, Luo Qi almost couldn't hold back.
But he still smiled at him forcefully, and asked a different question: "It's also the National Teacher's Mansion, how can you let such a thief sneak in?"
After listening, Lin Muchuan glanced at Luo Qi with deep meaning, suddenly stood up, and said:
"Maybe it didn't sneak in. ”
Luo Qi was shocked by these words, and he subconsciously thought that he had guessed something.
But Lin Muchuan didn't seem to want to continue
"By the way, we said it before......" Luo Qi wanted to change the subject.
Lin Muchuan interrupted: "You don't have to worry too much about that, they didn't take anything too important." ”
As soon as Luo Qi wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, he realized that something was wrong with the problem.
Not something too important?
So why did you agree to help her in the first place? Wasn't it to get clues?
Looking at Lin Muchuan inexplicably, she didn't know what to say.
At this time, Xiaoman's voice broke the awkward atmosphere:
"Miss, Miss, it's broken, it's broken!"
"What's wrong? Luo Qi stopped Xiao Man, who hurriedly ran in, and asked.
Xiao Man obviously ran over, still panting, a little unable to slow down, bent over to support his knees.
Luo Qi patted Xiaoman's back very considerately and said, "What's wrong, what's going on?"
Xiao Man finally eased up a little at this moment, but he still said with some unpleasantness:
"Little, miss, I just went out and heard someone talking about you!"
"What's the matter?" they said, what's the matter?" Luo Qi didn't really care.
After all, she had just taken back to the Prime Minister's Mansion not long ago, and there was already a lot of gossip.
Coupled with the things in the palace banquet this time, there will definitely be many people chewing the root of their tongues behind their backs. Luo Qi actually doesn't care much about this kind of remarks.
"No, I heard from them that a young lady from the Prime Minister's Mansion went to report to the official this morning, saying that her sister had not returned overnight and wanted to find someone. After speaking, Xiao Man took a few deep breaths, and then said:
"Now many people are doubting your ......, Miss"
"What's wrong with me?" asked Luo Qi.
Seeing that his young lady didn't care very much, Xiaoman became even more anxious and said, "Some people said that Miss was dissatisfied with the words of the national teacher and deliberately ran out. ”
"There are still people who suspect that you ...... with other men, Miss."
This time, Luo Qi understood what Xiaoman meant, and he couldn't help but have a headache.
Looking at Xiao Man's blushing face, Luo Qi patted her head and symbolically comforted her.
Luo Qi had long expected that Luo Ying would not just not want her to go home.
Luo Ying has long belonged to Zhao Qi, and anyone with a discerning eye can see it.
When Zhao Qi said those words at the palace banquet, Luo Qi already knew that she would attack her.
Although Lin Muchuan has made it clear that he can't have anything to do with the royal family, even so, Luo Ying still wants to get rid of the trouble.
She obviously wanted to ruin her name.
The words of the national teacher could not dispel Zhao Qi's thoughts, but it was impossible for a woman who had lost her innocence to marry him as a wife.
Thinking of this, Luo Qi couldn't help but sigh.
"Miss, now that the capital is full of government officials patrolling the streets, what can we do?" asked Xiaoman.
Luo Qi glanced at Lin Muchuan with some embarrassment.
This is the case, unless someone is willing to prove for her where she was last night.
But if you stand up and prove it, it's easy to get involved with her.
If it doesn't work out, it will be some gossip when the time comes.
She felt that Lin Muchuan should not help her.
"Ruilin. Lin Muchuan suddenly called out.
Ruilin came out of nowhere, knelt down in front of him, and said, "My subordinates are here." ”
"Prepare the carriage. ”
In fact, Ruilin had just listened to all this silently, and he was still a little shocked by his master's decision.
Is his master deciding to help them?
Seeing Ruilin stunned in place, Lin Muchuan opened his mouth and reminded: "What are you doing in a daze, go quickly." ”
To be a slave or a slave is to obey the commands of his master completely. Although Ruilin had some doubts in his heart, he still quickly ran to prepare.
"You are ......" Luo Qi was also a little surprised.
"Send you back. ”
Lin Muchuan just said this, and then stopped explaining.
