Chapter 256: The Guest House
"Girl, are you okay?" After making sure that there was no danger around, Hongxuan ran to Lan Xin's side and asked worriedly. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info remembered the situation just now, and now I am still afraid for a while.
Lan Xin took the opportunity to stagger Lu Zhendong's concerned eyes, pretending not to understand the deep meaning of his words. looked at Hongxuan, shook his head and said, "I'm fine." What about you? Are you hurt?"
"The slave is fine. Hongxuan shook her head, her face pale, and her eyes full of guilt. Lan Xin smoothed her hair, smiled and comforted, "It's okay, it's all over." His eyes were on the place where Rong Jing had stood, and his brows couldn't help but lock, could it be that these people were the people behind Rong Jing? Rong Jing, or whose door did the Rong family take refuge into, there was such a powerful killer. Or, in other words, what the person in the mulberry garden got was very important, so the other party sent someone to pick it up. turned his head, and sure enough, Li Dong was also taken away.
Lu Zhendong watched Lan Xin in a daze at the place where Rong Jing had stood, and his heart felt sour. But he was reluctant to blame, so he could only break his teeth and swallow it in his stomach. He whispered, "The origin of these men in black is unknown, and I don't know their purpose. We'd better not stay here for long. Looking at Lan Xin's messy hair, he thought for a while and said, "Now the city gate is closed. It's better to freshen up in the mulberry garden and rest for a while, but when it is dawn, go back to the city. ”
Lan Xin looked down at the mess on his body, groaned for a while, and then nodded in agreement. Because Lu Zhendong and Su Bo's horses didn't ride over, Lan Xin and Hong Xuan shared a horse, while Lu Zhendong and Su Bo shared a horse.
After the four of them arrived at the mulberry garden, Su Bo stepped forward and slapped open the corner door. The man in the corner gate quickly greeted him with lanterns, apparently keeping the door all along. Lu Zhendong was afraid that Lan Xin would feel uncomfortable when he entered through the corner gate, so he explained: "It's too late now, if we go through the main gate, it will inevitably alarm many people, and it will not be good for you at that time." ”
On a dark winter night, a girl's family followed a man into the village. Even if the two of them are innocent, the gossip against this girl will be flying all over the sky. For Lu Zhendong to maintain his reputation like this, Lan Xin nodded calmly, saying that he didn't care. But my heart is warm.
Lu Zhendong saw that Lan's heart didn't mind, and his heart was relieved. After walking into the guest house with Lan Xin, he instructed the people in a series of ways to send hot water, make tea, serve snacks, and wash fruits······ Lan Xin listened to a stack of commands, and suddenly regretted coming to Mulberry Garden.
What did I think at that time, and why did I agree in such a vague way? Even if I can't enter the city, I can go to Zhuangzi? What is wrong with my head, why is it half a beat slower? Now that I have entered someone's guest house, I can't arbitrarily say that I want to leave. I had to bite the bullet and enter the house.
The people in the mulberry garden were very quick with their hands and feet, and soon all the toiletries such as hot water and cotton handkerchiefs were brought in. Looking at the few people who hung their heads and put things on the table, and came out in an orderly manner, Lan Xin guessed that these people should be Lu Zhendong's henchmen. I can't say what the reason is, it's just how it feels.
After freshening up, Lan Xin followed the light and walked up to the high platform. Lu Zhendong heard the footsteps, turned his head and said with a smile: "Why did you come out?" I thought you would sleep for a while!"
"Can't sleep. Lan Xin shook her head and said, in someone else's house, let her sleep like a nobody, she can't do it. Standing on the high platform, you can see the lights in the distance, as if someone is moving things.
Lu Zhendong and Lan Xin stood side by side, looking at the lights in the distance, and explained, "That's Uncle Li······ It's the family of the guy I met on the docks today. Although his family did not make mistakes, Uncle Li's mistakes were unforgivable. Therefore, their family will no longer be able to live in Mulberry Garden in the future, and the Lu family will not give them any help. ”
Lu Zhendong's tone was calm and calm, but Lan Xin still caught that trace of bitterness and helplessness. Remembering that on the dock, Lu Zhendong said that the courtyard of the Li family was robbed tonight, so he asked softly, "You took their silver?"
"Nope. Lu Zhendong chuckled, "That small courtyard in Peach Blossom Lane is their own infighting. And the Li family was not robbed tonight. Just now on the docks, I said that, just to scare him, and by the way, to make a good mouth. ”
"Huh. Lan Xin couldn't help but be amused. I didn't expect people who seem to be mature and stable to have such childish times. Lu Zhendong heard Lan Xin's crisp laughter, and the corners of his mouth also curved. The melancholy in my heart has also diluted a lot. Looking at the thin clothes on Lan Xin's body, he said with a smile: "The night is more dewy, let's go to the hall to have a cup of hot tea." ”
Lan Xin nodded kindly and followed him into the hall. Lan Xin picked up the tea in his hand and took a sip, feeling much more comfortable. Looking at the snacks on the plate, I suddenly felt a little hungry. I picked up a piece of plum blossom-shaped confectionery and ate it elegantly.
In the dim candlelight, Lu Zhendong held a teacup in his hand, the corners of his mouth curled up with a pleasant arc, and his eyes looked at Lan Xin opposite dotingly. Watching her little mouth open and close, I felt a little hungry. Unconsciously picked up a piece of snack, put it in his mouth and chewed it.
Lan Xinlian ate a few pieces of dim sum before he felt more comfortable in his stomach. After taking a few sips of tea, he looked at the person opposite, and suddenly asked, "'Shiwei Zhai' is your shop?"
Lu Zhendong paused his hand for tea, and then asked with a smile: "How did Lan Xin know?" did not deny it, that is, acquiesced. Lan Xin's fingers gently rubbed the mouth of the cup and said calmly, "I guess." The dim sum I just ate is somewhat similar to the dim sum of 'Shiwei Zhai'. ”
Lu Zhendong was just about to speak, when he heard a report from someone outside: "Young master, the people of the Li family have moved out of the mulberry garden." We have also carefully inspected their house, and there is nothing wrong with it. ”
"Well, got it. Go down and rest. Lu Zhendong said lightly.
Lan Xin watched Lu Zhendong play with the teacup in his hand, frowning. Between the eyebrows is a touch of sorrow and loneliness that cannot be dissolved. Being betrayed by the people around him, he must feel uncomfortable, right? Actually, it's not easy for him. After the death of his parents, he not only had to support the family business alone, but also had to deal with those relatives who were like wolves. Now, even the people around him want to betray.
Lan Xin pursed the corners of her lips, thinking about how to persuade him.
